My Dearest HobbitsEagles!
I am standing for leader for another term.
While I think we achieved a lot in the last term (thanks to an excellent if small group of officers):
– we ran 24 events!
– had regular communication (newsletter)
– gave everyone a unicorn warsteed
I feel that my work isn’t finished, there’s still lots to do.
Okay time for some real talk…
The kinship is losing its vitality. We’ve all but lost our old alliances. So we have to rely on one another to keep things going.
We have moved from a kinship whose common ground was Coursera, to being a lifeboat for those who have sadly seen their own kinship fold.
Some of our kinnies have had to seek regular events through alts on other kinships.
Regular events are a bit of a vicious circle, people want regular events which they don’t attend and then leave the kinship because there are no regular events. I should also add it ends up disappointing those who have organised the events and makes them less likely to run any in future.
I do not begrudge those who have sought more active kinships; we play LotRO as a form of escape and entertainment. Some of us enjoy the companionship, others enjoy mastering the mechanics of the game.
So, as your Leader. I now send red arrows to all of the kinnies. The Eagles need your aid. Help us to bring life into our kinship.
I’m sorry if I’ve laid it on thick, but the successive officers and leaders have seen this steady decline in our vitality. I’m sure you have all seen this too. Let’s turn it around!
Your faithful servant,
Luri
