[chompers]

Name: chompers
LotR since: Started with FOTR until ROTEL then picked up again around Bloodlines. Been playing ever since. Play open format most often, with 3 players, and some house rules.
Tournament Attendance: Can't remember - only a few when the game first started. At most 5.

Most of my experience is with playing Star Trek 1E then 2E - but enjoy playing both games!

[max1981]

Name: Max
LOTR: Played from day one up until Reflections came out. Up to this point attended about 20 tournaments in Birmingham, Coventry, Sheffield, Warwick and Stafford. Won a couple but not many (got a couple of LOTR T Shirts as prizes).

Haven't played since reflections so need to learn the rules changes from this point forward.

Not currently playing as I don't know anyone local who plays.

[Jerba]

LotR since: Before FOTR movie was released in 2001 until ROTK (I was in Peru from 03-05, so I missed a lot!)
Official game attendances: I ran local tournaments at least twice a month from 2001-2003. Played in the Ents pre-release, got 4th place at Utah states in 2003, won the local 'Fierce' tournament, and scrubbed out at Worlds at GenCon in 2003.

I loved the game until they ruined it with the Shadows changes.
Favorite FP Culture: Hobbits

My experience in LOTRTCG is Minimal, but decent.  I never really played much because I'm in a bit of a deadzone for CCGs (except Magic).  I did beta test Decipher software for bother STCCG, and LOTRTCG, and enjoyed every minute of it.  I'm a big collector of SWCCG, and while I own just about every card, I really don't play that much (see "deadzone"). I have recently started buying up a bunch of LOTR cards just to have them in case I ever find a person to play with.  I did buy into Decipher's new project, but have been very disappointed in how they handled getting the cards to the players.

I'm not sure why we're gathering everyone's information, but what the heck, I'm in!

Name:  Zach

LotR Since:  Got a starter deck sometime in Fellowship block; can't remember when I actually started playing.  I played in Fellowship Block a bit, but I definitely got more active in Tower Block, when more of my friends jumped into the game.  Played up through Set 12.

Attendances: 

-A handful of local tournaments (maybe 6-8?).  Never placed first in locals, but had a few second-place showings.

-A few PSQs (or maybe a PSQ and a TOC... I forget) in Oregon.  Got 2nd at a PSQ, and I think top 8 at the other one, though the memory is fuzzy at best...

-2004 Washington State TOC (1st)

-2004 PSE Las Vegas (7th)

-A number of tournaments in the LotRO game.  Many of them would be considered the equivalent of "local" tournaments at game stores, as they just automatically started once 8 people arrived.  Fellowship Draft was my specialty.

- 32-person scheduled tournament in LotRO (1st).

-Some online PSQ that had like 87 participants (I think it was the first PSQ they ever had online, and I either got 7th or 4th... I don't remember, but both numbers sound right.  Leaning towards 7th, though).

-First LotR Online World Draft Championships (3rd place, though it was a three-way tie for first based on points, and I got screwed on strength of schedule 'cause my second-round opponent dropped out right after I beat him.  I actually beat the guy that got first place, but oh well, that's how it goes  =P.  Also of note:  this was the first ever King Block draft anywhere in the WORLD.  Ooooh, spiffy).
