These comments are on the Leadership Forum, under the MVP topic. MVP stands for Most Valued Players - and at the moment, the only two featured are H&G members! Well done gentlemen!

Big Congratulations to Sammuz, who having just made his loremaster, Samdarin up to Rank 7, was also promoted to Officer in The Gramsfoot Lawn Tennis Club.

Also, we say well done to Grachuk/Malezar who made Rank 7 on his War Leader yesterday. Sadly he is moving Grachuk to Eldar - something about more freeps to kill (ha hah!) but I'm sure he will pop in on Malezar and let us know how its all going.

Well Done both of you!

I've put the idea forward of marking off an area in EM for 1v1 activity, which will hopefully provide a lot of fun and entertainment, and somewhat reduce the forum bitching and flaming.

To read the discussion about it, and vote as to whether or not you like the idea, I'd be grateful if you went to:

and have your say.

Please join me in giving Pichulon a MASSIVE congratulations for having not only the first Rank 7 Defiler on Gilrain (Curandero), but the second ever Rank 7 Defiler in Europe! He's causing quite a stir.

Happy Birthday mate, for today, well done for making us all extremely proud, and for helping to put Gilrain on the 'ranking' map! 

We were the first to kill the Balrog and first to kill Thorog after the update on the server, but a European first is really quite something. Pichulon achieved Rank 7 on the 5th June, beaten only by Tarkaid on Evernight on 23rd May - so I think we can take great pride in celebrating a European Second! This is entirely Pichulon's achievement. I think we can all bask in his reflected glory for a short while :p  Very well done.

A word of advice - for anyone that is going for high rankings on freep or creep, please take a screen shot and submit either to Gilrain forum or the Monsterplay forum for you to be included. This goes to particularly you Pichulon, Sammuz, Curandero and Idis! They are a bit strict and won't include you unless you can prove it :)

To see all the congratulatory messages, and some of the jealousy, go to the forum: http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=287536&page=1&pp=10
