Hi guys! I'm so sorry that I haven't been here for a long time. RL has not been kind to me for some time now. I needed to make some priorities and the BT has unfortunately not gotten high on my list. My family, health and work needs to come first. I will continue my LoA for some more months. I can't say exactly when I will return. 

While I'm away, Illian Tear will be the boss. (Verbal 32 will help out if needed.) Thanks!

I wish you all a happy holiday!

I had a friend who could never read the last chapters of LotR. He didn't want it to end. I get it, but I'm just too curious to not read. ? 

Logain is a fascinating character. I enjoy reading about him more and more for every re-read. 

What would you like to do in the BT? It has been quiet for some time here but we like games, spam, discussions and spam. And tainted brownies of course. 

I don't think this has been noticed.

@StarRisk

Sorry for posting this really late. Let us know that you are here. Also, let us know if you have any favourite fantasy race/monsters/creatures.

I love the ogiers in WoT. When I roleplayed I was almost always a forest elf. And it's hard not to like dragons. 

I haven't heard anything about them. What views?

DONE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Black Tower! Sit down and eat some tainted muffins and let us interogate get to know you. Have you read all the books? (Just a warning, there might be spoilers in the threads in the clubs.) Tell us about how you found the books and if you have any favourite characters/asha'mans. 

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hm... sounds kind of weird but also interesting. 

Actually, the other way around. I don’t love Ender’s game but I liked most of the story. 

I could not get into Dune. I have tried twice but I just can’t. Maybe I will watch the new movie instead. 

What kind of book is The Ocean at the End of the Lane? 

Dune - Frank Herbert

Ender’s Game - Orson Scott Card

Correct. It's more about like/not like because I have no strong feelings for them but I couldn't understand all of the positive reviews for Stardust. 

Hm... I haven't read any of them so I will just guess that you like The Ocean at the End of the Lane and hate The 5th Season.

I saw this somewhere else and thought that it would be fun to try it here. You write the titles of two books - one that you like and one that you dislike. The rest of us can then guess which one you like or don't like. It might lead to a discussion about those books as well. You don't need to wait for someone else to guess before you write a post of your own. Of course there will be points for everyone playing.

I'll start:

American Gods - Neil Gaiman

Stardust - Neil Gaiman

DONE.

How are you all doing? Looking forward to the fall? (Or whatever season you have in your country.) I always like a new season when it arrives. I'm looking forward to colourfull leaves on the trees, going on walks in the woods but also shorter days sitting inside reading a good book.

5 points for signing in and 5 additional points for telling us about some of your favourite characters (in WoT or any other books).

I have so many favourite characters in WoT: Rand, Moridin, Moiraine, Verin, Min, Loial... The list is long. I think that I value Moiraine even more these days. She really did everything she could to make sure that the Dragon Reborn would make it to the Last Battle. 

One of my favourite characters of all time is Iroh in Avatar: The airbender. If you have seen it you know why. Who can not love Iroh?

The BT Staff needs some reinforcement. I'm searching for a new Faction Leader of the Light.

You are a member of the Light faction but it doesn't matter what rank you currently have. The most important part is that you want to be active in the BT and try your best to make it a fun place to visit. You will plan things with me and Illian Tear and just look after the BT and it's members. You will see to it that all members follows the rules. As a reward you will get staff points each months. 

If this sounds like something you would like then send me an appliction. Tell me a little about yourself and why you would be a good Faction Leader. 

Welcome to the Black Tower! Great to see a new face around here. 

Tell us a little about yourself. Have you read the whole series? Who is your favourite character? Favourite asha'man? Do you prefer ice cream or cake? 

Let us know if you have any questions.

Really cool. 

Congrats to the Shadow!

@Illian Tear

You are not only the Black Tower's M'Hael but you are now also Asha'man of the second level. I don't think we have had anyone reach this level since we added it so we do not have any traditions connected to it. But I think it deserves a celebration. 

Maybe with some brownies?

Thanks for being so active in the tower!

A black rose for you.

Interesting. Do you feel that you learn more by listening to them?

Welcome to August in the Black Tower. Let us know that you are here. 5 points for signing in and 5 points for answering the question.

What way of travelling in the WoT is your favourite? For exampel: Portal stones, T'A'R, the Ways, skimming, travelling through gateways, riding a mule...

I think traveling through gateways seems the easiest but I'm fascinated by the Ways. I'm thinking that it was a beautiful place to travell through in the beginning. Hopefully they can cleans the Ways from mashadar. (I know what it says in the deleted Perrin chapter but that isn't canon.)
