Any intrest in an adventure RPG? (LLL discussion part I)

If the council sees it fit, Gondor will see it done. If it concerns A'mael, she's new here and I'm sure she'll pass me up in post count before long if she does get to posting. I can definitely say for sure that she is a lot more pleasant to get along with than I am. I'm more or less thinking I'm the Gollum type who will, in the end, screw it all up. If anyone is likely to make a literal 'run for it' next, it'll probably be none other than Ingwionis. The trip over a rock and fall off a cliff idea is still plausible though. They say when you have some sort of suicidal urge that you should make a fictional representation of yourself and get that representation killed in the effect of the story. I'd say it's worked in other RP's. I've died in half the RP's I've been in anyway. It saves Cirdan a lot of work.

Now, now, none of that cheek. I wasn't referring to your or Amael's characters when I talked about abandonned characters. I was thinking only of those who never got further then their introduction post, or haven't posted at all since the departure from Rhosgobel. Ingwionis and A'mael clearly don't fall under those.

But the idea to keep silent characters in the running, is (because I need some of their skills for the plot) to keep the characters available if the owners return. I stress,this is not taking away anyone's characters, just have them say a little or do something once in a while to keep the character active.

If you want to quit this game, obviously, you have every right to kill of your character (but contact me first so I can work it into the story, please ) but not because you think you don't fit in. Just say so, if you find yourself in that latter case, and we will try to make the game enjoyable for all. That's my job after all.

If anyone wants a break from the game, that's fine to. We can keep your character active until you come back.

This is the list of characters slated for public use in absense of original player:
- The gaffer (aged Hobbit, played by The Gaffer)
- Truor (gruff beorning, played by Yaygollum)
- Blossomshade (ent-wife, played by Yaygollum)
- Earthshaker (ent, played by Nuelbar)
- Bowen (human, played by Nuelbar)
- Branwyn (Gondorean scholar, played by Tessar)
- Seratili (dwarf, played by Nautipus)
- Bob (young hobbit, played by Nicro)

Really, I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything we can do to improve on that?

I'm glad to hear you're okay. I hope you feel better soon, though.

I have thought about forking off and creating a slight, but harmless, plot twist. I more or less thought of my character wandering off and by accident falling asleep, losing the crowd, andd ending up captured by some people of Rhun, but that's if the journey takes us any further east than the western perimeter of the Sea of Rhun.

We're not going East just yet (particularly because I haven't worked out yet where exactly in the East we'll be going ), so your side plot will have to wait at least until we're done with Dol Guldur since there's no one here to be kidnapped by. But I think it can be arranged when we've left Dol Guldur, maybe not by the people of Rhun, but close relatives anyway.
