====================================================
Our housing contest voting period is now OPEN! To vote send me your top 3 picks -- a Gold, Silver, and Bronze -- and say either the contestant's name, the house owner name, or the address next to each medal. You can send me a message on the kin website with your vote, or you can send your vote in an in-game mail to Aelieryn, or a new way this time, you can send a DM to me on Discord.
How to send your vote:
- Kin website message to Aelieryn
- In-game mail to Aelieryn
- Discord DM to Aelieryn#5978
Details:
- To send a message on the kin website (for those with an alt in the Alliance) with your vote use the envelope icon in the upper right, then choose Member in the first drop-down, then in the second drop-down box choose Aelieryn.
- To send a message on Discord (for those with an alt in the Alliance or who connect to our discord at https://discord.gg/n4RHUwj), you can find my name in the chat in the lotro-lounge (or under Officer - LOTRO on the far right pane), right click on my name and then select Message.
- To send a message on discord (when NOT connected to the Alliance discord), I think you have to click on the Discord icon on the top left bar, then click on Friends (on the left pane), Add Friend (on top bar), and then type in the non-server-specific name Aelieryn#5978. After that you should be able to send me a DM -- not sure if there is a way without adding me as a friend.
Vote examples:
Gold - 7 Fairwood Lane, Langlin, Falathlorn (address example)
Silver - Home of Okoye (owner example)
Bronze - Patmustard (contestant's name example)
Please be sure to say which award (Gold/Silver/Bronze) for each, with Gold being worth more points and your top pick. I'll be using the same system as the EB/BB point awards Gold = 3 pts, Silver = 2 pts, Bronze 1 pt, and whichever house has the most points wins the top prize, 2nd highest gets the second prize, and 3rd highest gets the third prize. The voting raffle prize is done by random number -- you can either pick a random number between 1 and 1000, or I'll give you a random number, and whichever voter is closest to the target number wins the raffle prize.

==== How to visit/view houses in the contest: ====
1 - Use the Kinmember Visit Skill (for those with Alliance alt)
- Open your socials window (default key is O) and click on the Kin tab
- Find the kinmember's name in the list, and left click on them to select
- If the kinmember is not online, uncheck the Online box, then click on the Name column to sort all names alphabetically (first click starts from Z, click again to start from A), left click on their name to select
- Click on the Visit button at the bottom of the panel
2 - Use the Housing Broker Office in Bree
- Between the Town Hall and the Jail in Bree, you'll see a green banner icon on the minimap.
- Head to that spot and go in the door, and inside you'll see housing brokers for each homestead area.
- Next to each broker, there is a book sitting on the table/shelf next to the Broker, and clicking on that book will pop up the neighborhood select for that area.
- Type in the top box to filter for that neighborhood, highlight the one you want to visit and then click the Enter button.
3 - Try to join a housing tour
My scheduled tour is usually on the first Saturday of the voting period, but I'm probably going to put another tour up on the calendar for some day during the next week or next weekend (the last weekend of the voting period). Please let me know if you're interested in joining a tour along with your availability.
4 - Watch the video tour
Still editing, but coming soon!
