Tuesdays & Thursdays are busier... but with lots of 'yellow-space' in them (that's what a fellow college student once called all that time in your schedule between classes - because he would yellow it out with a highlighter - and claimed he couldn't get anything done in that time. ) Wouldn't any of them Elven-maidens (*sigh*... I guess the brother could come along too...) like to come on down to the RH?

Less formal, more fun. Let your hair down (well, so to speak). If the elves are done lamenting their losses or being depressed and angsty, they will have some fun!

I am sorry that I wasn't here for so many days. But I had exams for the last week or so, and then two of my cats fell sick, and died in the last three days. I'm rather devastated, and do not feel at all like writing any more, so it may be a while till I start again. I'm still following the thread, though, and enjoying the story a lot...

Really, people, I can hardly keep up with the edits at times. I read this one post and have to go back the next day because it's probably changed already. I sometimes get the feeling this isn't just one RPG but a whole bunch or alternative realities of it. Soon I'm going to forget in which one I am... I don't even know who won the race, provided it is run already because I'm not sure about that either... But I'll manage... I think... Quote:

As far as I'm concerned, RPG-Eärniel is done for today. But... supposing you ask really nicely, and if RÃ*an feels like it (I don't see Eärniel going there alone at night), we might arrange something. RÃ*an, did we pick up your belongings from the RH already? I forgot. That might be an excuse to go. Quote:

very good way of putting it ... but as valandil says ... that's partly what makes it a good rpg ... and a learning experience for us all in such a large and vibrant group of rpg collective creativity ... it's all part of the process and the team building ... Serenoli: very sorry to hear about your two cats .... sends *moothug* too. take it easy if you need to or jump in if you think that will help ... best wishes, anyway, BB |

I am so sorry for you, Serenoli! I hope you will stay with us.
Val, I agree with what you say about nitpickers. I am one myself... But that really is the price to pay to remain in such a diverse writing team. And so well read too. It is not at random that we choose our sides and our screen names. We are very different and find different aspects of Tolkien interesting. There is nothing wrong with editing, or asking to edit. And it happens over almost every scene where FOGAL and FOEAD interact. What is wrong with it? Nothing IMHO. Just let us be more "thick-skinned" and let us try to remain polite and kind to each other. |

(I could even edit my posts to say you did! ) Yes - I think Rian MUST have to come get her belongings. In fact, if she DID take them, I think she might've accidentally taken the wrong ones... or forgot something... or something...

Yes, I am also looking forward to Val's reaction, but there was none, unless some cries for help in the Discussion thread. What is wrong, Val? Are you THAT afraid of harmless, charming Lilly? Fie, really... Please, Lilly awaits your reaction, still bowing deep . Serenoli, I know what you feel, I also lost my cat last month... You know Internet is a great help, when you feel sad. It moves you into another world. I believe, if you start posting more, you will feel better. It worked for me. Last edited by CrazySquirrel : 12-06-2005 at 12:59 PM. |

Oh, Serenoli, I"m so sorry to hear that I just love animals. They're so beautiful, and cats and dogs have such personalities. I"m very sorry to hear of your loss. Take your time, and I hope our condolences give you a bit of comfort.

Do you want R alone, or with E and/or A? I can write it either way. PM me and let me know your ideas I'll be back in 3 or 4 hours.

(I had an amusing mental image of her just having this stash of extra keys hidden somewhere so that everytime one gets confiscated she just waits for a bit and then pulls out a new copy...) Very sorry to hear about your cats Serenoli.

butterbeer by name butterbur by nature .... the red herring ...now what does that remind me of?
*slaps head* ah! yes, Rian ... remember the proprieter, Mrs Miggins, and staff have been asked this morning to pass on to barli should they see rian and tell her that he'd like a word ... BTW: has Rian et al heard of melwen's death yet? so, barring the end of bumble's race with tortoises, shah's and lotesse's (post donkey derby) race, the pie throwing, and that lazy git barli's investigations ... we are pretty much there ... |

Eärniel - nice post, perfect how you worked in the luggage thing - so it looks like we're all 3 off to the RH! (A. would naturally come to help his sister with her bags, and to escort the ladies through the possibly dangerous streets of Tharbad) Hang on, Val, the FOGALs are on their way!
BB - thanks for mentioning that about Barli wanting to talk to Rian, I had forgotten (it was a while back in Real Time ) I'll work that in my post. How do I word it, though? Could you please help me with the wording, as I'm not sure about the correct terminology - thanks Is there some head watch office that they go to or something? Re Melwen - from what I understood reading people's posts, her death was not generally known - Barli was keeping it quiet. Or maybe that was just the suicide part? But is it even possible to keep something like that quiet? Given Rian's day, I can see how she wouldn't have heard of it, though, but let me know if you have a preference - I can write it either way. Would Mrs Miggins, for example, know about it, and if so, would she mention it when talking to Rian? I'll try to get a post written now that gets us there, and has Mrs. M. talking to Rian, but I'll have us not talk to Val yet, so there can be a post about Val and Lilly's time together.

the part i referred to from val's post basically said you don't EVER get good writing or good scripts without a Freak** team that care about it ... any team or writers that accept any old S*** and do not care a T*** about anything will never get anywhere or do anything ... (wasn't exactly val's words more my taking the ball and running with it ... chased by expletives ) the fact we are prepared to argue (and make up) and care about the rpg is a good thing ... and if that means the odd edit or nit picking, as the self confessed Gordis proudly proclaims, then so what? we a bunch of drivelling wimpish ooh-la la dim-wits? or are we an elite, lean, mean argumentative dream team? ... a top ranking Specialist squad that can extract, even under deep cover in enemy territory, more dangerous nits n picks, than a bunch of lying, devious, self-centred, corrupt and fillibusterin' Politicians on speed!! heh? so, we have the odd disagreement ... i literally had a fight, a proper fight, no handbags at dawn ... yesterday with a producer ... it didn't get too violent ... Actually it cleared the air and we had a good laugh about it later ... but that's artistic difference and (in a somewhat skewed way, professionalism) for you ... you think things just happen? You think everythings gonna be easy or fall in you lap? or that all the world will just agree, singing birds froliking and chirping songs on beautiful azure blue days with a gentle breeze and soft cuddly wispy pure white clouds? nay, ... nothing wrong with people, in this case both lotesse and rian, BOTH caring ... in fact i admire the both of them equally for caring about their views ... but should we be affraid to speak from our hearts? so, the odd parrallel universe ... great! ... better than a straightjacket. ask yourself: which would you prefer?
