  1. Hmmm.... I'm not convinced of the "purity" of this suggestion. Vary rarely did Tolkien ever mention women accompaning men when at war. Tolkien never went into great details about "camp followers" as well. The impression I got from him was that the armies of Arda did not require these sorts of followers, and that they could sustain themselves in their own way. Women are viewed generally as non-combatants with the exceptions of the Wainriders and Rohirrim, and even then they usually just stayed behind to guard their homes. In general, I think it isn't a good idea for purists wouldn't make sense out of it for nothing ever alludes to this.

  2. Obviously we all know that Tolkien thought that there was no possible way for a figure of darkness to redeem themselves. Having watched Revenge of the Sith has inspired me to make this thread. Do you think that (fictional) evil can be redeemed (ala Darth Vader) or do you agree with Tolkien that it can't be cured.

    Discuss. (y)

  3. @Drashkurz: Don't feel that shamed. My interest in LOTR peaked because of the movies. And I'm proud to say that I feel no shame in that. Just like I feel no shame in being a 2nd-generation SW fan (my Dad has to remind us all that he watched SW when it 1st appeared in 1977 as a kid). (y)

  4. Funny I didn't see this thread before. Seems the Shroud of the Dark Side has fallen over my Internet............. no wait, it always was there. Mesa just getten lazy. :P

    Anyways, saw it twice already. One of them the midnight premier no less (I've done it for the other 2 movies). ;) I liked it very much for the most part, but I thought the scenes with the Wookies were too short. But the best thing is seeing how the Emperor WINS!!!! *raises arms in air, only to be force pushed, knocking down his chair* :)

    PS: I still think nothing can beat Slave Leia. (y) Just my attachment to nonstalgia I guess. :P

  5. Well, tis been over a year now since ROTK was released. Does it seem like popular culture has now gotten over it and left the purists alone again or is the common man in your opinion still mindful of it without disgust?

    Discuss. B)

  6. Hmmm...... I believe there is something in the LOTR appendix that says that only Dwarven males wander outside their Halls. Since Gimli is seen in places other than his residence, that's another sign that he's male. :)

  7. Wow im in the core group! What does that do again!

    You basically get access to a special forum where you can put your input on something the 0 A.D. releases in that forum before the public can see. AKA it's mearly an elitest club consisting of former WFG members and those affiliated with other design teams. :)

    Gimme money!

    I don't get paid for my job so how about no? ;)

    Oh and bow to me for some reason

    I bow.......... for no man. :)
