Mick it was an honourary position only, you don't need to join the clan to assume the role.
It's only really for Baggins Clan play's and pantomimes. For such event's we like to get the senior Saddonian's participating as well.
It's just for Christmas panto and things like that.
You up for it?
Of course.. I'm up for any such games which involves the clan...
http://www.geocities.com/cillenmolin/merry.gif
I'll have to distribute all these once they are ready unless people can collect from here.. Actually, i'll start a "collect your baggins clan avatars here" thread...
I just realised it's gonna look awesome when 7 or 8 of us are all posting in a thread with our colourful avatars and band new awesome kickass sigs...

I do look like an ork when I get all bruised up:D
Unfortunately the role I have in mind for you Donny is more major. The role of Legolas cannot be an honouray role as he's an indispensable member of the 'party of the nine'.Quote:

You'd need to be a member of Clan Baggins to take on what, after Gandalf, would be the most prestigious role handout so far.
Join the Clan Donny! We need a young, good looking, talented warrior for the role of Legolas.
If not you, we only have Clubber, and he's already stained his tights through masturbation :-X
We have a large problem then, I'm a sworn member of the old guard.Quote:

No worries Donny, I respect your allegiance to the Old Gaurd.Quote:

Clubber, it appears shall put on the green tights and adopt the role of Legolas. We'll have to scrub the stains of the front and try and get him to restrain from pleasuring himself whilst wearing the Clan costume and carrying out Clan functions.
You are still a friend of the Baggins Clan though Donny and will of course be given an honouray role for pantomime season. :)
Good idea just make sure each clan member get's the right avatar.Quote:

See, Bilbo knows how to sweeten a deal. All this Old Guard 'We offer nothing but the honour and dignity that goes with accepting such a position' crap. It's not what the people want.Quote:

People want a nice flashy avatar, a costume, a LOTR starring role, a cool sig (on the way) and daily gifts of rep, lots and lots of rep :cool:
Baggins Clan, the ONLY clan for discerning Saddonian's :)
Darn, I was just too late to catch Miles.. Hopefully he comes back for his avatar.. I'm slowly getting there with these.. My girlfriend his hasseling me to do a bunch of chores that i've been lazy with...

Bilbo is fair to assume that as Book to Film conversions go LOTR was damn good?
I like it!! Nice one, Gimli!Quote:

By and large it was an excellent translation. Peter Jackson did make a few alterations from the book, which as a purist, somewhat irked me, but in truth kind of improved on the book.Quote:

For example in the book it was not Arwen who helped Frodo overcome the Black Riders by flooding the Ford but Glorfindel.
At Helms' Deep no alliance of Elves arrived from Lothlorien to support Rohan against the Orcs of Saruman,
And Saruman and Grimer Wormtongue in the book both went to the Shire after being released by the ents where Saruman was killed by Grimer. None of this was shown in the films.
But all in all it was an exellent translation. They kept Tom Bombadil out and the goings on in the Old Forest and the Barrow Downs, which I believe was a good thing.
Bombadil and his wife Goldberry were a frankly, weird couple in the book, singing and skipping along, Bombadil himself, dressed like a large brightly coloured Gnome. I don't think he would have translated well to film at all so Jackson, like Raplh Bashki before him took the sensible approach of leaving him out altogether.
I thought it was actually a good idea to give Arwen a bigger role as well as her romance with Aragorn is hidden away in the book almost to the point of irrelevence. Jackson managed to draw it out and add some depth to, what always should have been a more significant aspect of the story, the tale of an Elven princess giving up her mortality to live and die, the wife of a mortal man.
In truth, I think it is the greatest translation of book to big screen that there has ever been and that Jackson's work is tremendous.
I remember when first hearing the Fellowship of the Ring was in production thinking there was no way in hell that anyone could pull it off, especially this Jackson bloke who I had never even heard of.
But he aced it, a masterpiece and imo should have won 3 Oscars for it.
The Fellowship of the Ring Extended edition especially, is the greatest piece of cinema ever made imo. Perfect from beginning to end, as I'm sure Legion will agree.
Thats what I had thought really.
I feel the inclusion of Bombadil and Goldberry would have destroyed the tone of the film really.
Miles it's easy.Quote:

Simply right click on the picture of Gandalf and save it to your harddrive.
Next go to the control panel options, select avatar, and then look for the option where is says 'upload from location on harddrive' or words that effect.
Click the browse button there to go to your computer, find and click on the picture and it will load it as your avatar.
Save the changes and you are done, and officially Gandalf! :)
Get it while it's hot Clubber..
http://www.geocities.com/cillenmolin/legolas.gif
Next up i'm doing Sam.... Hopefully tomorrow night i'll have no distractions, and will get most of the cast done, then Bilbo can assign roles to his hearts content..
Great Stuff Diz, let's offer it one more time to Donny as I really want him to have the part.Quote:

Did it and I didnt need to pull out a single strand of hair in the process. Easy to do. Cheers, Baggins!!
Dude you're killing me!
I want in on the fun and games but I've already committed!!!!
This is so exciting, the Baggins Clan look resplendent in their new costumes :cool:
I'd like to see the Old Guard and Violent Squad top this.
When we have our sig we'll be unstoppable :D
Great stuff Miles, now you finally look the part.Quote:

Donny, don't feel bad if you can't join I understand.
Although as I understand it, according to JT Rock, the 'Old Guard' arn't a clan at all but merely a group of veteran individuals striving to uphold the traditions of Saddo's.
As a longtime poster myself, along with Miles and Dizaster, the Baggins Clan also believes such values are to be desired and would seek ourselves to conduct our clan affairs with restrained dignity and with respect for Saddo traditions, affirming every member to be valuable in the eyes of Saddo.
You could become a member of Clan Baggins without comprimsing your committment to the Saddo Way.
I'm sure the Old Guard would understand, as after all they are above such petty jealousies and sqaubbles.........
Yep, looking pretty nifty. I remember I used to have a picture of Tyson eating Holyfields ear as my avatar. This new picture presents a far more civilised image to the world.Quote:

I desperately want to buy a copy of that!!! I had all of the regular editions when they all came out, but I one day saw The Return of the King extended edition and had to buy it... After watching it right through, the extra scenes add much more than just the extra 30 minutes or so of viewing time.. It gives more depth... That was years ago now, and i've been dieing to get the other 2 extended editions.. Just 3 weeks ago I found The Two Towers extended and bought that... Havn't watched it yet though as I reallllllly want to get Fellowship extended and watch them in order....Quote:

But I think it was a great way to really give the scenes in the movie a deep tradition through that celtic image...
Keep your filthies off my members:mad: isint it about time for you to exchange bodily fluids and shave Julius privates I heard you are the king of the landing stripQuote:

If not, why do you object to Old Guard becoming part of Baggins Clan?
And if so, why do you ridicule my clan for being as such, when in truth your group is the same?
Its just the way it is,we will not dillute our lineage... Old Guard is a royal crest and seal of the Old School Saddo covenant... our members are idenifed and proud.. Clan Baggins will not fitQuote:

1) No Hierarchy, other than you need 1000 posts and 18 months membership to be considered. Anybody else is NOT welcome. That's a pretty elitist heirachry if you ask me.
2) Endorsed by Saddo? I presume by this you are referring to his 'nice idea' post in the Old Guard Thread. A full endorsment indeed.
3) Dog and Pony Show on the main board, JT no Clan Baggins member ever posts in any of the Boxing boards, you should really know this by now. We exist only in the hidden forums, plus we are still saving for a pony.
Sorry Bilbo, I forgot to mention.. I took my Baggins Clan Jack Russell out for a quick run in Boxing Talk earlier this morning... It was like, 5am and didn't think anyone would notice...Quote:

Ive chosen to accept the role of Gandalf because its good to be able to transform into a wizard every now and then. Simple as. I like old guard and Im all for it too. I think ideologically I am an old school Saddonian and have a lot in common with other long time members. I wouldnt mind being a member of both actually but was won over by a fond interest in taking on the wise old Gandalf persona. He has magical powers and all that sort of thing. And seems pretty wise. Maybe as I begin to fit into the character interesting things may happen.
