Nice post CS , don't disappear again, please. So you are still after the King, you, Skessa!
Looking forward to Val's reaction. |

Give everybody a break please. Jesus, i've never seen a thread with more nitpickers than this one, good gravy. On the tiniest of details there must be some sort of Nit with a Pick.

btw, do you guys have any suggestions for another term for what Alagos was doing besides "wringing his hands"? That phrase makes me think of a bad Shakespearean actor, pacing up and down the stage overdramatically, but I couldn't think of another term. I just wanted to portray the preoccupied, nervous, uneasy thing that some people do with their hands when they're upset about something, and the only alternative I could come up with was "fiddled with his hands", which just didn't cut it. It's not this huge wringing motion, it's just kind of a preoccupied rubbing and slight wringing.

BB, et alia, It was just one encounter; Viv's not going to go seeking out the company of Elves - especially after, remember, she has witnessed how Rian's "peeps" treated Khamul that morning, AND because she's got no reason to, unless she needs to do a little counter-espionage for her family or something.

Listen, I'm really tired of this, and I'm sure you are too - shall we just delete all the posts involved? I did it only to please you, Lotesse - you were asking for people to post with Viv. My only motive in writing that post was to please you. Other people write posts and ask people involved if they want edits. I thought that was how we worked here, and I think it's a good plan. I thought a post with Alagos and Viv would please you, and when I wrote for Viv I asked for edits in order to please you. I meant well, but it's obvious you're not pleased; shall we just can the posts? Quote:
EDIT - nevermind, my posts are gone now. I deleted them. It's abundantly clear that you don't like what I wrote for your character, and I only wrote it to please you, and you don't want to give me edits for Viv, so I killed the posts. They're gone. I have no interest in making your character something she's not. You felt that the post was "SO incredibly non-Vivvian in every way", so I deleted it. Let's just keep the rpg going. No hard feelings - I wrote a post with your character thinking it would please you; it didn't; it's gone. All good?

On the 5-figure View Thingee... that's interesting. However, to REALLY get the low-down, do a search at the bottom of the page when you're in the RPG forum - sort "by number of views" in descending order, and be sure to go back "from the beginning" - not just 100 days. There is actually a Discussion Thread with 19K something - it has ~1500 posts. Our first three Discussion threads total ~ 21K posts. Time is what makes all the difference. This RPG has just exploded, I think. It's immensely popular, has a lot of in-built interest (I think the conflicting characters makes it difficult to operate, but also makes it VERY interesting - for us players and a few faithful readers). I think there are more players in this game than most. And... an interesting tidbit, look how MANY players are playing a character with their own username.
I hereby lay claim to "King Nit-picky!" Oh wait... make that "High King Nit-Picky!" (to be persnickety). *sigh* - playing with nit-picky players is the price the rest of you must pay for being in such a high-quality game. I ALMOST feel sorry for you... except that deep down inside I know that this will make you better players, better writers, better Tolkien Loremasters... and better people. And that makes me feel GOOD for all the rest of you! Meanwhile, CS - thanks for showing up at the Red Herring. I was wondering when SOMEone was gonna join Val (FOGALs... someone come RESCUE me!!! )! So - the game gets right back to where it started... King Valandil and Lilly at the Red Herring! I don't know if the King would be inclined to chase much after her though... she IS sorta his good buddy's quasi-girlfriend, right? Say... thanks for picking up on that 'nazgulette' word! Am I actually ahead of everyone and not holding up the game any longer? King Val is known to be sitting around at the RH until at least 8 or 9 pm... Oreturion has finished (from my end) his interview with Mahtaliel... I think I'm all good. Is anyone really holding up the game? Or do we just press on? LSP - I don't know if we should have Ray and/or Marty go away on an errand or hunting trip or anything... they ARE in school, and even the King would respect that. He could send someone else. We can try to cover for you with them a bit. And hey - if not a lot happens, well... we are ALL subject to some rather uneventful days now and then, aren't we? Even consecutively?? (or CS... I hope Marty isn't sick... from something YOU gave him!!! )

No, Tyaron is cooling his heels in Tuesday evening, but he's by himself and can wait patiently. my other characters - Alagos is playing the harp waiting for dinner, Rian is with Earniel having just received the left foot of fellowship out of the library *brushes off boot print from her shapely derriere* ... we're all fine for now. Maybe it's just time for bed - been a long day! Did Val attend any classes, tho? If so, perhaps he can ruminate over his fellow-students as he relaxes with a drink at the Red Herring.
