Too many Numenoreans for too few ships going to save an underpopulated town. I can see how that would ruin everything.

I don't know about @TheSword , but for me, yes, absolutely. Hyperbole is good for comedy and little else.

Comments can be authentically heartfelt and hyperbolic at the same time. Unless you mean it's a literal steaming pile of garbage, you engaged in some serious hyperbole. Which is fine, no law against it; just shows the power of the emotion behind them, I suppose.

He could be merely exaggerating, no real intent to deceive.

More important the the battle for all of Middle-Earth? Ok.

Yes, exactly this.

I totally understand the "Making a TV series" need for the stranger to be Gandalf (assuming he is, of course), but if that's the case, it's going to mean he was absent during the Last Alliance, and that might be tough to explain. It's why I am hoping against hope he's a Blue...

No offense, but there was no logic in that hyperbole.

That's not what your hyperbole was doing; it was mis-representing his position, and that's unfair.

They're nowhere close, it seems.

Good Lord, he said nothing of the kind!!

What competitors?

There haven't been people expressing frustration with negativity in this thread? Ok.

I dunno...I'm not looking for a particular result, so I'm honestly not sure what you mean here, sorry. As for the bolded part...well, just in this thread, some people were playing...interesting language games regarding facts.

To follow up my last point...I totally get it why some people are sick of the constant negativity surrounding WotC/D&D. It's the anniversary year, what should ostensibly be a time to celebrate a game that one loves and, from what I can tell, the mood isn't quite celebratory. That's a real...

Ok. I don't understand, I'm not arguing against any of this. I don't think I have said anywhere that WotC didn't try to contact him, did I? Someone said it seems logical that they would have sent a registered letter. That is logical, for sure. But it's not a stated fact, is it? We just have...

No record of them doing so. 🤷‍♂️ You can feel free to assume it into existence, of course, but then...look, this thread has become about people who always harp negatively ignoring facts in evidence or assuming facts not in evidence, so...wouldn't that be doing the same?

I didn't say the claim that they tried to reach out wasn't valid. IIRC, they never actually reached him though; hence why I mentioned registered mail. If my recollection is false, I will be glad to take that back. It should be noted, though, that by the time the Pinkertons show up at the...

Again, they were hired to retrieve the merchandise. No investigation needed; WotC knew where the merchandise was. Is that clear now? And no, there wouldn't be a need to have 7 lawyers showing up. Registered mail seems like it would suffice.

Thanks for the analysis. I am not sure who had the greater proprietary claim over the cards...hence my opinion that someone who is an expert on the law should be involved first. As you write above, there are some maybes and mights. That being the case, even though it's reasonable to assume...
