OldCp made me become a nerd due to the LOTR crimezone. I wanted to understand it better so I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I found it to be really fun and exciting to read. I read the whole first book in about three or four days. It was just so amazing and perfect! I read the second book in about a week or so. The third one took me longer to finish though as I had gotten the book from the library that contained the whole trilogy in just one book so it was way over 1,000 pages of reading and I got kind of demotivated. But it was still really exciting and fun. I also understood the cz better on OldCp.

One of my favorite parts in the whole trilogy is when Frodo got impaled on that Nazgul Sword and how he started to turn into like a lesser nazgul because of it. The movies really messed this part up though. It strayed so far from the book. It made me kind of disappointed. I still haven't watched the full movies because they're so long and I don't have that kind of time to devote to them right now. I might just not watch the movies because the books were amazing enough for me.

I want to read the other LOTR related books too but with covid I won't be able to get my hands on them as easily because I don't really want to go to the library and I also don't want to buy the books.

When someone makes a reference to LOTR on TV, I understand it and I feel like a nerd because no one else in my family knows the references, none of my friends know anything about it either and I don't think I can tempt them into reading the books.

And that's how OldCp made me become a nerd.

I have no regrets.

i just got extremely addicted to skyrim back in the day then i found oldcp and realized a lot of the ideas were taken from skyrim :')

Have Silmil, Lost Tales, and Unfinished Tales. They're not as telling or well-structured as LOTR, would read Hobbit tho

OldCP made me study the lore during my GMW/Moth days then when I became a drac I watched all the lotr movies lol

The nerdiness is addicting.
Especially in oldcp, because of the amount of individually enormous lores from different franchises being stirred in the same pot to create the beast of a lore that oldcp has. It has fully functioning history, deities and kingdoms, its just a nerd hive that im proud to be a part of lol
