Bump in Appreciation of Gandalf Parker

[llamabeast]

This whole forum is populated by awesome people. I haven't seen a thread like this before, anywhere.

I have tried most things you can do with dominions. I can really appreciate the dedication of those people patient enough to mod, to draw sprites, to gather data, to organize data they or others collected, to tweak balance, to throw around ideas, to always be optimistic about the perfection achievable by the very next patch, to be able to complete MP games, to HOST those games, to complete SP games with huge maps... I'm proud to be part of this community.

Endoperez managed to verbalise exactly what I wanted to say.

I'm wearing the Illwinter classic thong right now! Sadly, my wife has opted for the Space Empires 5 mumu.

Sorry that I have been 'away' for a bit, but I must also credit Gandalf Parker for getting me into and fostering my love of Dominions.

Nice merchandise, on the whole. I think my own favorite saying would be

'You think you are wise, Mithrandir, but for all your subtlety you lack wisdom.'

'Maybe, but guess who's about to eat 50 raiding Satyr armies!'

(The joke's a bit dated, but I hope most people catch it.)

As far as names go, I named my son after a very similar character to Olorin (as my personal favorite name for him). In fact, if you read Socrates Meets Jesus by Peter Kreeft, the identification is explicit at the end.
