Yet Another Poll
I know, you must be tired of polls by now, but...one last time?
This time it's about your favorite faction.
Favorite User
Let's make another poll, this time about the favorite non-staff user! That includes chatmods and tempmods but excludes everything from moderator and above. The only requirement is that the user has at least one edit. Since there are so many users, the poll will only have very few names at the start, but you can suggest names in the comments and I will add them. Don't worry, my magic will prevent the poll from being reset when I change the contents.
Popularity of blogs
I'm a bit concerned that my last blog which contained nothing but a nonsense theory (no, I won't explain all the lore contradictions in it!) gained more comments (=attention/popularity) in two days than any of my blogs with useful information about the mod itself. None of these informational blogs ever made it into the list of Top 3 Popular Blog Posts list. It looks like nobody is really interested in the mod, just in stupidness.
Craziest LOTR theory ever
This is an extremely crazy idea I got. Don't take it seriously.

Why would Tolkien mention this Morgul magic if it would have no effect in the end? What if Frodo was in fact turned into a shadow but nobody noticed it because the evil magic was hidden too good?
The new born Shadow-Frodo always planned to betray the Fellowship and to give the Ring to Sauron. Boromir got it absolutely right when he accused Frodo of betrayal on the Amon Hen. Shadow-Frodo only split from the Fellowship to be able to g…
100% Translations
This blog will not be about a feature of the mod (like almost all of my blogs) but about one member of our community, or more what he has done: Legolas222. He is not very active in this community but he created and organises the Russian wiki and administrates a VKontakte page for the mod (VK is a social network popular in Russia), where he brings all news from the FB page to the Russian community. But this is not what this blog is really about.
After Legolas222 finished the Russian translation of the mod, it wasn't enough for him. All the NPC speech texts were still in English. So he started to translate them too. He started this project already some time ago and still has only translated a small part of it all. But in the end, the game wil…
