It's good that a non-Dragon reminds Dragons FFC of the official team thread, by posting the official team thread title in an official team thread post... by an official non-Dragon.

1. Frodo takes 17 years to start his adventure after finding the ring.

Frodo didn't find the ring.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

Frodo didn't find the ring.

Bilbo did.

 

[Braklet]

Bilbo did.

One might also claim Bilbo cheated Smeagol out of the ring. "What have I got in my pocket?"

 

[Braklet]

I think the only reason serial_thrilla originally recruited me to the Dragons was Tolkien nerddom...

 

[serial_thrilla]

Frodo didn't find the ring.

In the envelope. Bilbo didn't hand it to him directly.

 

[serial_thrilla]

I think the only reason serial_thrilla originally recruited me to the Dragons was Tolkien nerddom...

I'm fairly certain it was mentioned in my recruitment pitch.
