We have a wonderful opportunity for you to win some Turbine Points! Thaladus has offered up a Turbine Points he’s purchased himself just for you to create a great LOTRO video.
This will be a Lotro in-game video montage with the theme of “I am a Rockstar”. The rest of the story is up to you to show us in a original video. Entrees may be serious or funny. We mostly want to see creativity!

We love the holidays here at CSTM and really get into the spirit of giving! Some of you may have seen on our twitter last week that I had cleared our Walmart of all their LOTRO Turbine Points Cards.
Some of those cards were for friends but I still have a handful (six to be exact) that are specially reserved for our fans! One we have already given away earlier this week! I plan to give the rest away all week here on the blog!

So after a week of receiving one beautiful outfit after another, the dreaded day came that I had to sit in judgement which ones I thought had all the right ingredients to win. It was really hard, and because I didn’t want to just randomly pick something, I defined a few criteria that I thought would help me judge the entries. I subjected every outfit to the following scrutiny:
The first criterion had me discard some of the entries that I didn’t think really matched the red, white and blue of the horse tack. Some had very different colours, some had a mix of too many colours and some a lack thereof. The second criterion is a relatively subjective one, as what I believe to be a bad combination might look really cool to someone else. There really are no bad combinations per se, but in my opinion some things work better than others. Nevertheless I discarded some entries based on what I see as a less successful combo as well. I don’t think I discarded any entries based on a lack of originality as I am absolutely super impressed with all the creative outfits that were sent to me! The last criterion had me take a look at the overall impression of the colours, pieces and picture. I did not pass judgement based on image quality, because I can see a great outfit even through blurr and pixeled edges. One of the winning outfits has lower graphical settings, but that was no basis to discard it.
After thorough examination I was left with about 12 great outfits and my heart sank. Why don’t I have more codes to give away? They all deserve it! I decided I was going to pass the remaining outfits through a second set of criteria. For 5 codes I picked one winner, the outfit that simply charmed me the most, for whatever reason or personal taste. The other 4 codes were split up in half: 2 outfits for lower level requirements and 2 outfits with a higher level requirement. So here it is, the winners of the Cosmetic Lotro PAX East Mount contest 2011!!
Number 1 outfit: McFarlane, hunter on the Brandywine server!
Head: Straw Hat – red dye (skirmish cosmetic)
Shoulders: Threadbare Cloth Shoulder Pads – red dye (light armour)
Chest: Common Long-sleeved Tunic and Pants – default dye (outfitter cosmetic)
Back: Day Pack – red dye (outfitter cosmetic)
Along with a Pitchfork, item from the Mathom Society

Today is a special date (11.11.11) and sometimes odd things happen where odd numbers are involved. In my case Turbine asked me to play Fashion Maven for you and sent me 5 PAX East mount codes to give away to Lotro players who make an effort to look good! Over the coming week I will be running a PAX East mount outfit contest and the best 5 entries will win a mount code. In addition, the best winning entry will be featured on this blog!
To participate you need to create an original outfit that matches the PAX East mount colours (white, red and blue). You may create as many outfits as you like and enter each outfit separately (however in my experience it doesn’t really get better after the second try!). You send in two screenshots of your outfit with a front and a back view. You may send an additional third screenshot with a close-up.

Last month Turbine hosted their annual Pumpkin Carving Contest and today the winners were announced! The LOTRO pumpkin winner is by Vror titled “The Flaming Eye”.
Holy cow this is awesome! I must admit I don’t think I’d would ever have considered actually lighting my pumpkin on fire. Well done Vror! For his carving and pyrotechnic work he will receive:

For our first of our CSTM 2nd Anniversary Celebration giveaways we have a poetry contest designed by CSTM’s very talented skirmish expert, Pineleaf! If you listened to Pineleaf on episode 86, you would have heard that Pineleaf enjoys poetry and I think it is an absolutely wonderful idea!
