@Menolly, cool thanks for adding that (and the activities I missed) and yeah after I typed that up then thought about it over the last day I realised it probably did sound like people can't just start activities without discussing it first. I totally agree with keeping it open (in fact as a ruler of Wilderland my biggest push was to open the place up so anyone could post an activity without ruler permission, and I'm happy to say we got there and it went well
).
As for Third Age vs Fourth Age, it seems like we don't really care, which is fine with me too. :P Doesn't sound like we need to make it one way or the other. It doesn't really affect the Shire too much as
@Eamila Bolger said. I only started thinking about it because my hobbit's history would be effected by the Scouring if we were in the Fourth Age. I guess if it's important to an activity, it'll be stated in the OP.
Also
@Shasta Stark, I didn't realise you were Joelius, my adopted son back in the day! I was Scary Twiggins then (later Scary Tunnelly, then Dwimmerlaik) among other names over the years. But of course I knew you by the names you mentioned. :smiley8:
