HAH! That is SO ironic; great minds really DO think alike - while you were writing the above post, I was composing a story entry - read it! I just posted it! Yes, Viv got rid of the nosy reporter !
And another thing - you're not gonna believe htis but - YES, just like you suggested I thought of the same thing - Viniglaen's posing as Pen & Lilly's cousin!! Ah, great minds DO think alike

As for the possibility of a bloated, impossible Galadriel, I'd raise an eyebrow at first but then I might play along. Or play contrary and say something like:"I know Galadriel and you, madam, look nothing like her" and shut my gate in her face. It might be interesting to see where it leads. Or I might decide to postpone writing in the game-thread and ask the other player for a clarification in the discussion-thread. And if that explanation isn't enough I'd try to offer an alternative that would be acceptable for me. Difficult to say how I'd react, though quite possibly I'd be very confused instead of mad. Quote:
I see the rest of the situation appears to be resolved. Good.

Hi, Rian! I noticed you're here this morinig! Say, I loved what you posted - if you're up to it, now would be a nicely opportune time for your Rian to come 'round the house in response to the want-ad. I know Lilly's gritting her teeth in annoyance that she still doesn't have a "Major-Domo" (Houeshold Cheif)...

I expect that this very strange coach will be stopped by the guards if it attempts to enter the city, but for it to be slaughtered immediately . . . I don't know. As regards the Nazgul reaction, I personally don't think it would be very intelligent of them to just attack without any knowledge of what my character had to say to them. They might be turning down the offer of a lifetime (or deathtime, or anywhere in between ). In view of that, and the possibilities he has before him of escaping, my character is willing to take his chances. Quote:

What I said there was another way of saying what I had said a moment earlier, "What I'm trying to do at this moment in the RPG is bind everything together. Ring, Nazgul, Balrog, ecology and all. It's all one plot, not multiple separate plots." As Eärniel said, I was trying to help, though as I said in that same post, I was ready to withdraw any such "help" that was unwanted. I also said in the very same post was that I had no desire at all (and I underlined it there too) to take any freedom from anyone, and I've repeated that in following posts. Does that sound much like a tyrannical gamemaster? Don't bother with answering that. It's rhetorical. Let's have some fun . Does anyone have a problem with my doing as I suggested earlier I might? Posting a weak Nazgul scream that sounds little like a Nazgul, isn't at all worrisome, and sets the townsfolk laughing?

Lief, this is not a debate thread or an argument thread, like all those Theology threads over in General Messages. This is an RPG. Not an on-going, relentless, on and on and on and on, and on and on and on and on and on and on fight/defensive debate/explanation/blah blah blah blah blah, yada yada yada. Can you dig it?

Hmm. As I am not really interested in being slaughtered by ferocious Nazgul, I'll adjust my plan a bit. Instead, I'll just head straight for Tharbad . The elves will probably be more merciful, especially in view of my noble aims.

I don't particularly want to get involved in this but I do just want to say thing about the weak Nazgûl cry. As far as I can tell (I may be wrong) but it hasn't happened yet, but IMO it would be a good idea for it not to happen. For now Nazgûl presence in the city is undetected and should stay that way until the time is right. I think that this RPG is building up to the moment when the Nazgûl are forcifully removed (I may again be wrong) and to have the fact that Nazgûl are in the City known so early on would not be that helpful. I am in full support of you character Lief, and would like to find out more about it, but please leave out any Nazgûl crys unless you have some great plan for it, if so please post it here first.
CS I'll post in a minuteand have Galadannun coming and revealing himself to the other three Nazgûl as Khamûl. Here is a v. short bio for him. Born in Rhûn, is father was a Numenorean killed in the Last Alliance fighting for Anarion and his mother is an Easterling. Named Galadannun, Light of the West, by his mother in rememberance of his father but was afterwards named Khamûl, Shadow of the East, by Sauron when rendered into his services.

Could someone please give me some clues as to what to write? I know started the thread but extensive authoring has never been my strong suit. Sorry.

You are Penny brother of Khamûl (Galadannun) and Lily. There is an opening for you to post now in the RPG. You've just seen your big brother again!

No, no, I think it's perfectly fine as it is! There's a lot of important people in the living room of the mansion all of a sudden, so there's bound to be a little bit of over-speak.
Oh- BTW, Viv wouldn't blush for real, unless it was a blush from an oncoming rush of anger, but she's not mad at the boys, she rather likes them, so - her blush was just a coy little trick!

I garnered as much, she isnt the type to be even the slightest bit pinky. I remember reading somewhere that Ray and Marty were kind of...not so bright... I am sorry if I am not playing them that way. I just need more practice playing dumb!

EXCellent last story-post, Shah! You're really good at this; I am so happy you're in it!
Oh - btw, Rian? In Beverly Hills, the term they use for the Chief Household Manager is Major Domo - Aaron Spelling has a Major Domo, for instance. Just in case you were unsure. It's a fairly prestigious position to hold!

4 Rian and everyone else's info:
ma·jor-do·mo [ mÃ*yjər dṓmō ] (plural ma·jor-do·mos) noun Definitions: 1. household manager: the chief servant in a large household, especially a royal or noble household, responsible for managing domestic affairs 2. personal manager: somebody responsible for managing affairs and making arrangements for somebody else [Late 16th century. Via French, Italian, Spanish < medieval Latin major domus "chief of the house" < Latin magnus "great" + domus "house"]

That was perfect, CS! You brought the reality of the Nazguls and the situation right 'round; ideal.
Now we wait for Rian to get hired, and Viv's gonna have to get ready for school, plus she's going out later on to do some private re-con of her own around town and campus. She LOVES to sneak around, and very little escapes her attention, VERY little. She sees something she doesn't care for, it's goin' DOWN! There's a liitle mystery 4 ya .

OTOH, I guess it's the other way around, since we're in a time before Beverly Hills was even around! And will Lilly, that canny redhead, be willing to hire a young lady for that position that has a rather lightweight resume? Or does she see certain ... advantages ... in having someone around who wouldn't recognize a less-than-kosher household setup? Well, RÃ*an can but try ...

My compliments, Shah!
It is really a pleasure reading your posts! Lotesse and TD - good posts, as usual. I hope GW appears soon. I feel Five gets tired to be manipulated by Lilly. GW you never told us, do you want to look as Omar Sharif? Re my last post. I am unsure if I develop Khamul's character in a right direction. TD, would you lie on Lilly's bed with your boots on, or wouldn't you? I am willing to edit, as usual |
