bullet Topic: >Gondor Welcomes you!
    

Gondor! Gondor, between the Mountains and the Sea!
West Wind blew there; the light upon the Silver Tree
Fell like bright rain in gardens of the Kings of old.
O proud walls! White towers! O wingéd crown and throne of gold!
O Gondor, Gondor! Shall Men behold the Silver Tree,
Or West Wind blow again between the Mountains and the Sea?

Aragorn’s song of Gondor
The Two Towers,
JRR Tolkien

 

Greetings and well met, weary traveller, to the
Minas Tirith Answers and Information Desk
!

If you’re reading this thread, you are more than likely considering joining the ranks of the Gondorians—home of the hardiest and bravest souls in all of Middle-Earth. Here you will find a safe place to ask all of those questions that have been niggling your brain (like what all those fancy catch-phrases like RL and OOC mean!) and encouragement from some active members in Gondor.  Not yet sure if you wish to join Gondor? Read on to find out what we have to offer, and if it seems to be a right fit for you.

You Might be a Gondorian IF…

10.…You have oil and wood handy at all times.
9. …You find a bruise on your chest from all that saluting.
8. …Your idea of a celebration is a pie-throwing contest
aimed at your Queen’s face!
7. … You see heads flying over the walls of your city...
“Hey, isn’t that your brother?”

6. …
You think plate mail isn’t just armour—it’s a fashion statement!
5. … Everyone else on the Plaza wants to be like YOU!!!
4. …Helmet hair isn’t the end of the world…but the beginning of a great career!
3. …You refuse to contact your friends via phone or e-mail, and insist on communicating by “lighting the beacon.”
2. …You have a desperate need for trees to be white.
1. …You live a stone’s throw away from eminent suffering and death…
and you like it.

(Many thanks to: Celebrimbor, Tark, Arthaz, Delnynalvor, Inwe De Mein, Udan, Eamila Bolger, Amalric, Arnyn Dealedwen, and Ramadai for submitting the above!)

What Makes Gondor so Special?

Games and Competitions—If you’re a gamer, here’s some threads you might enjoy: Gondor's Súlimë Caption ContestMinas Tirith Thief Hunt (temp closed), Gondorian Riddles, and a variety of others. In addition, members are encouraged to submit their ideas for new games and opportunities for guest game-masters are currently available!

Interested in developing your character? Gondor has a variety of ongoing RPG’s. Check out these—join the Rangers. Looking for something more risqué? Try the Houses of Healing, and Character Survey.

No visitors?  No newcomers?  Then this isn't Christmas!  I thought that that was supposed to be our present!!!!! No fair!!!!!! My Christmas is ruined.  Oh well, we'll just have to make it better.  Anyone want some of a delicious yule log I made?  Or christmas lollipops? Or a stocking.  You know I don't see any of those hanging up around here yet.
 
*tosses a huge pile of stockings to be hung and a huge "santa bag" on the ground.*  Ho Ho Ho!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!! Waitaminute...I can't give you all presents if there are no stockings up to put them in. Eh.  Forget it.  I'll figure it out meself. *Starts picking up stockings one by one, and reads the names embedded in them.  Then starts putting in presents for the corresponding person in the stocking, and then hangs it up.*

I'm bumping this thread so that (hopefully) more Newbies will take notice of it, as Gondor has one of the only recruitment threads with only a single page.

If you are a Newbie who is reading this - Good for you!  I hope you pick Gondor as your Kingdom.  Please don't feel intimidated by all the old timers who already know each other who have posted above. Thumbs%20Up
