Hello Eagles!
Me, too, I’ve been thinking about standing for election for the position of an officer for the last couple of days.
I’ve joined the Eagles within the framework of the Coursera online course offering last summer and liked Middleearth and the Eagles so much that I decided to stick around. And it has been a great time! I’m grateful for all the support I’ve received from Gui, the current officers and many other kinship members and would like to give something back to the Eagles!
What made me hesitate to post here earlier is that I’m still fairly new to LOTRO and might not have an answer to all in-game questions, but I’m always happy to help a kinnie out and think I could contribute to the work of the Council in many ways. In real life I do lots of organizational stuff, like data mining, doing lists, updating websites using a content management system, etc. I also like learning new things.
I’m in Europe, so there’s a fair overlap in gaming time with kinnies in Europe and the US. I sometimes have to go to bed though when the fun really begins, e.g. during kinship events. However, I try not to leave a fellowship/raid at the most desperate time. ;-)
Like Mirv I hope that the current council members will stand for election as it is rather hard to imagine the kinship without Gui, Neem, Luri, Saed and Kes on the Council. I’d like to work with you and serve the Eagles according to my best abilities and, if you so wish, my sword (no heals though, unfortunately)! :-D
Have a nice day and see you in game!
