User blog:Smaug the Tyrannical/How I Run Things... (My Things, that is...)

So, I have been here for a little while, and have my own way of doing things. I suppose that, for the sake of the Admins, and my fellow Wiki Members, I should give a little outline of what I exactly aim for and try to do in the Suggestions Forum (the only thing I really do here.)...

I try to stay close to what Tolkien wrote. = I LOVE the books. The writings of Professor Tolkien are like 1/4 of my life! I want to stay as close to what he wrote as possible, but I also, from that, love to create my own theories that fit in with it. For example, I think Morgul Magic was in fact a skill that can be taught (as evident by the Witch-King having learnt it, the various sorcerors of Middle-Earth's history, and the fact that Sauron was taught by Morgoth.) What I think and theorize may be different from what many think is Tolkien, but I think things fit in quite nicely. As such, many of my suggestions reflect these ideas.

'''I am open to other's interpretations or additions. '''= I am well versed in other incarnations of Middle-Earth (the Movies, War in the North, the Tabletop RPG's, to name a few [that I am willing to believe could be canon]), and find that they could provide very good inspiration for things in the mod. While I know that this mod is based on the books, and not other derivitive works, I personally think that not using ideas from them is a tragic waste.

'''I am a huge nerd/dork... '''= That seems pretty explanatory. I write in character to Middle-Earth, I love correcting others (lore or grammar wise), and quite frankly compare my entire life to Middle-Earth, and other things I am a fan of (Elder Scrolls, Star Wars, Star Trek, just to name a few). That's my life.

'''I am very decisive with my suggestions. '''= I will not post a suggestion until I believe it would be perfect in the mod. If I post it before then, I will correct it as soon as possible. Not that it ever happens, as my finished suggestions usually get the replies 'Awesome.', 'Hm...', 'Planned.', 'Interesting.', and even once I got a 'These are great! Mevans should see these right away!'. My unfinished ones usually get 'No.', '*huge hole in idea I oversaw*', or 'Impossible in Minecraft.' As such, you could tell my finished from unfinished. Any that get the 'unfinished treatment' I delete the moment I can. If they have no potential, why let them stay and occupy space?

Well, that seems about it. I understand many will not care, but I kinda felt like saying this. Those of you who do read this, you deserve a cookie.
