As one of the three founders of the Jesters it's with sadness that I see the kinship go... The name 'The Jesters' was always meant to be a symbol of our fun, and our desire not to take the game too seriously; to be a kinship that existed for fun, not for raiding. A kinship that accepted anyone of any level, with the aim of having a laugh together. It seems a shame to throw away a name that was featured in a national magazine as one of the most fun kinships in Middle Earth... But what do I know?
I know that I'm not around much these days, though I was hoping to start to rectify that issue, and I understand that with diminishing numbers partaking in quests was becoming more and more difficult, however I don't think I will be joining 'The Lost Alliance'. I'll stick with a Jester title for as long as it's going, and if you choose to disband it altogether let me know, and I will begin anew.
Good luck to all. I've enjoyed my time here (three years?) and I am sorry to see things draw to a close...
All the best in The Lost Alliance; I hope you all find your way there.
