GW,
I may be mistaken but isn't there 1 hour time difference between UK and Sweden? I should say you will be "howled for" at 11 Swedish time. It is 10h UK. Gor |

Loved your joke, Grey Wolf!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! He-he, Gor! Wikkie's garb is stunning. Almost like mine. And you really plan to go around in a long-trained dress? |

Are we not going to use the rags then?

I am afraid our Quest is turning too Mary-Sueish...
Anyway, thank you, Grey Wolf, for your last comment. Cheered me up a lot ! I liked your exchange with CS re:Goth Girl, quite funny. Now we have to pass between Lorien and the Mountains and ask elves about the Shire, if we see them. |

Why does Viv have to wear such obnoxious crap? (no offense) I'd like to get her to make a fuss about her wardrobe, and demand her old "tom-boy" clothes back. Does anyone "have" Viv, I mean, will anyone get offended if I play her a bit? I'd keep her shy and romantic, yet also make her tomboyish, intense and secretly fiery, as if she has a sweet temperment juxtaposed with a crazy, unpredictable temper. But she'd still be the youngest of all the ringwraiths, as well as the least experienced with the life and responsibilities of wraithdom. What do you all think?

I will be happy if you take Viv, Lotesse! I love your ideas on her personality.
I am sure nobody here is against. As for Viv's garb, I also feel that CS was too unfair with her choice of colours. Perhaps she was just trying to eliminate a potential rival? Could you edit your description CS? Lotesse will find more suitable clothes for our baby-girl! Quote:

well i think i agree - what is mary-sueish exactly? Viva the new Viv! i wonder what Td's next mearas ploy will be CS can khamul have some make up too? ( you'd have to have seen the uk's current series of big brother to get that ( actually its kemal on there ...) ref: muslims and booze ... all the young muslims i know ( and the majority of the rest) down here drink, boys and girls ( at least the more westernised girls anyway.. which is the growing majority ) maybe we could give khamul a big beard and he wants to stop and (facing the east) get down and prey to ( .... Sauron! ) every hour? .... course' he wouldn't say it was to Sauron .... could be all sorts of excuses, ... maybe some of the westerners, the old school colonial numenorians could accuse him of having some additional devastating "secret weapons ..." and make a big thing of having a search? Hey! just noticed both threads have gone "HOT", this one with over 1,000 views and the the rpg approaching 1,000 rapidly and both over 100 replies! could be the excuse for some champagne! (and some dancing!) and some cavorting! .... etc well done all! Last edited by Butterbeer : 07-05-2005 at 01:47 PM. |

Well I see that poor Viv has got a defender . Fine!
I am taking away the rose-green clothes from Viv, as Gor and Lotesse ask. If you want to add something new about Viv's garb in my "dress" post, Lotesse, tell me, I will edit the old post again. Or you may choose to describe her dress later . I don't know, what is "Mary-Sueish"? About Khamul, you have to ask TD if he agrees. But I don't think islam existed in ME. Was polygamy ever mentioned by Tolkien? |

on Mary-Sues
Mary-Sues are generally regarded as a fluffy perfect version of the fanfiction writer.
Mary Sues are the plague of Tolkien fan-fiction, written by girls.The writer includes herself in the story, and usually has all the characters falling in love with her e.t.c. A Mary-Sue character is one for whom the plot gets skewed so that she can shine. The instant Mary Sue test (some points at least): -She's beautiful. –Powerful -Noble -Half elf/Maia -She's related to important people -She falls desperately in love with one of Tolkien's characters and vice versa -Able to defeat Sauron And so on.

It is canon that Sauron was regarded as God in the East. But what were the nazgul then? Something like his angels, I believe . Somehow I don't think they prayed to Sau, they were like extention of his will...his winged immortal messengers. Good news about the "Hotness" of our threads! Congratulations, All! Lotesse, by all means, please post the part about Viv. I shall edit my last post to fit. I will take away the part about moving on and post it later, after your part. |

hmmm: if we see one around we should tell olmer. not sure i fit the bill though (damn failed on one count! ) CS: well i'm sure TD won't ... but the polygamy might appeal ... ( it wouldn't be how i'd define islam though ... ? i'm not sure that polygamy - although technically possible is the right thing for muslims morally?) - but we digress .... |

CS and BB, I would prefer you not make Khamûl Islamic or anything, but if you really do want to then ok, I just kind of like where I'm going with Khamûl.

I agree TD, we better shall not introduce Islam into ME. Let the sleeping dogs lie.
I like your portrayal of Khamul, actually. But he can still think that girls should be kept in line, can't he? Normally they are in the East, you know. WHERE IS LOTESSE? WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR POST ON VIV'S DRESS! |
