This is just to thank everybody who posted or mailed me to help. I know
I shouldn't just put out a thankyou posting, but it is easier than
replying to the many who helped. I didn't even know flagship was still
running (as I said it's been a long time).

My registration for ME is on its way, and in an effort to avoid just a
thankyou posting only I'll now put in my thoughts on what's been said
about fourth age and what I know of ME from discussions and the rules.

I accept I cannot comment authoritatively and can perfectly understand
people who have played a lot of ME wanting a more random game, so they
don't know all the characters abilities or where artifacts are or all
the encounters possible. However, I hope they still run the other games
because what attracts me is the ability to play in Tolkien's world, with
the endless ongoing struggle between good and evil central to his books.

I just feel where people can design their own kingdoms, and join which
side they prefer and fight who they want it all sounds much more like
generic fantasy scenario and not Middle Earth and I'd like to play in
the Middle Earth I know, please.

Don't take any of this to mean I'm against fourth age, as I know people
who've played third age ME a lot need a new scenario. I just hope they
don't stop third age scenarios starting as a lot of companies do stop
supporting their older games as new ones come out(now,what I'd really
love is a PBM set in the second age...).

Don't worry, I'm sure someone'll come soon and put me in the home for
anachronisms,
