Here is one of my clan who is steeped in lore and whose knowledge of rules and laws is beyond compare. Here he can find for you any of the obscure or arcane laws, or indeed the basic rules by which we play the great game.
There are four places where one can go for information about Middle Earth. In each of these places of learning one can ask questions or discuss topics of mutual interest with many other sages. However different types of people reside in each of these places with different areas of expertise. There are two Houses of Learning dedicated to general topics.
There is a newsgroup at rec.games.trading-cards.misc where all aspects of Middle Earth are discussed. This place is filled with many strange people though and messages should be identified with a [MECCG] or [METW] tag in the subject line so as to reduce confusion. This is a good solution for the traveler who wishes to recieve an answer or response to a simple request. Beware however of trading here, it is not tolerated.
A more specialised centre of learning is located on the metw mailing-list. Any query, question, opinion or comment is appreciated here. All free peoples are welcome to contribute and take part in the discussion of the myriad topics that arise. Again though these sages dislike trading in their house and will become quite angry if ignored. This is a busy place and one should sign up for membership only if one has the time to deal with a large number of missives daily.
To join this group send an e-mail to listproc@tower.ml.org with a subject line of subscribe metw Your Name, where 'Your Name' is the name you are known by.
The metw-cotd mailing-list is not a place of discussion but of learning. Every day the current members review a card, expansion, theme etc to give a well rounded picture of their subject to their pupils. This is a mine of information about strategy and playing styles. Here you listen and learn but are not required, or indeed permitted, to reply. To recieve these daily gems of wisdom e-mail majordomo@robin.ml.org with a body of subscribe metw-cotd your@e.mail where your@e.mail is your e-mail address. You can also read the stores of knowledge these sages have created. In this tome can be foundthe writings of the First and Second Ages. While here in a second volume arethe writings of the Third Age.
Finally there is a great market where adventurers trade as well as buy and sell the tools of there trade. At rec.games.trading-cards.marketplace.misc you can find many of the items you will need on your travels. Once again this is a place where many cultures meet, not all of them dedicated to the struggles of Arda. Be sure to identify yourself as shown above or you will most likely be ignored by the frantic workings of this place.
I wish you well adventurer in your quests and in all that you do. I have given you all the knowledge I possess. Use it wisely and for good. May we meet again at another crossroads of The Road That Goes Ever On.
