Age (optional):39 (kid at heart though) '''Which other LOTR works have you read, seen, or played? (Tolkien's books, films, other games)

' My first introduction to J.R.R. Tolkien was the Hobbit the animated movie. It wasn’t until I was much older that I read the Lords of The Ring Trilogy. Sometime into my teen years I had picked up Dungeon and Dragons. I had always had a love of Lore and Magic. I then stumbled upon Middle Earth the RPG which was similar to Dungeon and Dragons except it was completely Tolkien based game where we used our imagination solely without any Graphical Interface. I naturally have seen all the recent Motion Pictures and own them as well. I like to point out things that were not in the book while watching them. I guess the funny part about the Hobbit is that originally it was 1 Book that has been turned into 3 movies. Lords of the Ring, 3 Books 3 Movies! Figure that one out!? ''

'''When did you first start playing the mod?

' I picked up the Mod back in Beta 17.At the time, I had created my own server and friends wanted something to spice up the server. I had been searching for different mods and actually never knew LOTR had been made. I found the Mod on a showcase and knew that this was the perfect mod to make my server special. I wanted to surprise everyone but with everyone having to have the mod in there folders I knew I couldn’t so I had to spill the beans. Everyone was really excited when I exploded the ring for the first time! We have been dedicated ever since. Since then a lot of my friends have been busy, where I continued to build an epic Elven Inn inside the mountains and construction continues to this day. I often get bored hanging out by myself sometimes so I decided a couple of months ago to give your “Official Server” a try and have been playing ever sense. I even brought in some of my friends from my server to play and are currently waiting to be White Listed. ''

'''What are your favorite ways to play the mod? '''

''Currently, my only objective is to gather resources and establish a home and materials which I and my buddies have been doing with little interaction in any war efforts or PvP. Occasionally I have seen someone die and have recovered their belongings to them. One of my favorite things to do is build and design. As I have mentioned earlier, I am recreating some of the towns on my own LOTR server, but sometimes I need a break from that and have more fun playing time with others. I am an Elven sympathizer and even that way on my own server so I can imagine I will be involved with the “good guys” and defeating “bad guys” in one form or another. ''

'''Now, please tell us why you think you should be whitelisted on the server, in as many words as you would like. '''

''I can list many reason’s why I think I should be allowed access to the server but I will highlight some key areas. First, as I have mentioned before, I have my own server of LOTR and have been playing for a year and half. I know what it takes to host a server and the hard effort it takes to keep it going. Dealing with user complaints are never easy. With that being said, none of your Admin will have any problems with me in the game. After all, if they are not happy, no one is happy because they run the show. Driving is not a right, but a privilege right? Second, I am a great designer and builder. Someone like me on your official server can go a long ways when you need help re-creating towns. I know that time has not come yet which brings me to the next part. I am good at identifying bugs and have posted numerous ones to the Facebook server to help mitigate some of these. I do not play just to have fun, but also invest my time so I have a return on that investment. Finally, I believe my maturity being around younger kids on your server can bring out the best in people. Currently a Staff Sergeant in the Army, I have the mind set to develop young people and turn them into men. My honesty, loyalty, integrity, duty, selfless service, respect and honor is who I am and I take pride in that. Been to war in real life and sometimes I need to come to a place where I can get away from reality and have fun and adventure!

-Thank You. ''
