It was actually mostly compliments, a few saying that it probably wouldn't happen but you were welcome to make a texture pack along with a few tips for said texture pack, and lots of smiley faces. In fact, a few of the admins and mods here said they liked it. Just to correct the "beaten down by movie hate bias" comment. Maybe when the halls of Thranduil (that's how you spell it, right?) are added, these could be the kings elite bodyguard? I remember that all too well, you don't have to remind me; although it does help to point that out to everyone watching.

It doesn't specifically take verbal confirmation to prove the bias exists. Whether some admins were smiley about it, it's clearly observable which armors in the mod got what, and which didn't; it speaks for itself. The main thread post started by High King Ithilion clearly breaks this down in a list, so it's undeniable.

I suggested that as well (a separate unit). Many of the great suggestions by others that have been coming up to mediate the discussion, I have suggested in the past. They all make logical sense, but were shot down for subjective reasons... it's quite unfortunate, but the only thing you really can do is take matters into your own hands. And it's going very well. It would do even better on the mod, if only a certain few would widen their horizons a little (which I'm trying to objectively reason, and they're taking it as hate).
