They were part of something a long time ago on the LotR Online game. I have no idea how they worked, though.
I think that their abilities could be used once per game, or something. I don’t know for sure.

Never kid about politicians. The more bizarre the joke, the more likely it is to come true.

Triumph triggered semi-randomly and was seeded by the number of events played that game. The more events you play, the higher the chance of triumph activating. Menace was the same, only it was seeded by the number of twilight tokens added in the entire game.

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you. Razz

There’s two other follow-up articles:

Kind of funny this came up, because I rediscovered the articles by accident just this past weekend.

And these are made only exclusively for online play? It would be AWESOME if we could could get these printed....

Really cool concept, though.

Well CBB, they kinda have to stay as an online-only thing, since apparently the formula for working out Triumph and Menace would be too difficult to work out in RL. But I like some of the subtitles, and it’d be cool to have a minion called The Nazgul. Very Happy
