Haha, love the cellar. Looks like my uncle's.....Only prettier.
goris-I think Marty and Ray will attend both ceremonies. Part of the entourage and as regular joes. They count as both, at least in their books and mine. Lief- Damn...I wish this didn't have to happen...but we will be seeing you around on the moot. Rian-Dont you leave either! Dont even think about it, or else I will grab some elvish super-glue and put it on your seat!

*fizzle* We'll work something out, everything is bendable, if the right strength is applied.

and in my experience, I've found there's often a huge amount of misunderstanding involved.

Fun post, CS! I just love reading your guys' writing! And I get a kick out of the "elf smell" thing
 I'd like to request one change, though, to keep rpg-RÃ*an in character - there is no such thing as too much money to turn something down, both in my own RL opinion and in rpg-RÃ*an's opinion. Could you please re-write that bit? Rpg-RÃ*an would be willing to put up with a great deal of work and other stuff for a good amount of money, but would NOT suffer personal insults! I think we can probably play off that a bit - Lilly's need for an efficient servant with not a lot of ties to this part of the world, balanced against her hatred of elves. Perhaps something like how I wrote my post? where I started with an insult coming from Lilly and then stifled it and made her choke out a nice statement instead? What are your thoughts? Will that work?

LOVEd that last post, Crazy Squirrel, plus also loved King Valandil's 2nd post -that long one - and Rian's, and Earniel's, and Gordis's - now I've GOT to get Viniglaen into her dress; it's taking a little time today 'cause my computer's running slow... *yeah, yeah; excuses, excuses*

I gotta wait for val, seeing as we are heading off with him and we have yet to know what to do with that coach and the ceremony!
Viv could cause quite the stir and NOT bother with the dress....I am sure Ray would enjoy that.....*big grin*

I meant that when Rian heard the sum, she was worried, what unnatural/dirty/criminal things might be asked of her to earn that much money...So she immediately inquired about her future duties. edited "silly" also |

thanks for the edit, CS - that's absolutely perfect!
(oops, just saw your post - we cross-posted - I was actually coming onto this thread to say I re-read the lines and realized that it wasn't quite the way I had thought it was - I saw what you were saying, and I had just misunderstood you (lot of that going on here lately  - Earniel has mind bleach handy, maybe she has some misunderstanding bleach around, too! I think we need a clean start ) But anyway, your edit makes it clearer - I like it!)

(just read it again - I love the tension you put in there with Lilly trying to restrain herself from smacking RÃ*an and sending her flying out of an upper-story window, battling with her desire to have someone do the household work!
)

Well, you guys, I got Viv dressed for the meeting but she wants to help Lil get ready, too, so she can chill with her a sec and get advice and basically have a girl chat; however, I'm not feeling terrifically creative or "on point" tonight, malheureusement
 - but at least I got her dressed.

OK - little ones first:
For "Marty" - 'mar' = dwelling - so I was thinking possibly: Martellumar = Domes of Dwelling Marthalion = Strong Dwelling Martolion = Island Dweller Martumir = Valley Dweller Martauron = Forest Dweller My sincere apologies to true Elven scholars if I'm mistranslating - I'm just taking literal meanings of prefixes, suffixes, syllables, etc from "The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-Earth" by Ruth S Noel. For "Ray" - 'raen' = wander - so how about: Raendil = Friend to Wanderers Raenbor or Raencam = same meaning as one another I think, but I won't say what it is yet.  (good though... very good! ).Shah - I'll let you choose from the options, since you're playing the characters. Now the BIG one: Lief - I hope that you will change your mind. I like to think that there's common ground we can all come together on. I myself was somewhat bowled over by your initial posts (for one, they were pretty demanding on ME ) - and by the time I got on, two had been edited out. But I thought it best to wait and reserve judgement. I saw that some got very frustrated, and yet I wasn't able to be on enough to really be of any use in sorting things out. I've given it a little thought though, and here's what I'm coming up with.What I think all players in this game have to realize, is that we have a group of players in the game who have already been role-playing Nazguls in other games. They have invested themselves into these characters and begun to get a feel for how they like to play them. That has its good points and its bad points - one of the good is obviously a lot of fun for those playing them. One bad point I can think of is that it can easily become a 'closed' group. For this game to work, one of two things has to happen. Either the rest of us must allow those who have been playing Nazguls to play them exactly as they have been playing them. Or else, those playing Nazguls must be willing to allow different kinds of things to happen. And - if that latter, we need to decide just how different. I'm a continuity buff myself. If I play in a Middle-earth role-playing game, I want it to 'feel' like Tolkien's Middle-earth. Not everyone is like that. Perhaps that was something we should have discussed early in setting up some groundrules... But anyway - whether we've talked about them or not - I don't think it's the best approach to jump on someone, or threaten to leave the game or something like that. If things get to there eventually, that's one thing... but the initial response needs to be a bit more light-hearted - or we might as well end this game now. Does all that make sense? Any of it? OK... discuss. (after all... this IS the Discussion Thread!)

PS - oh Lief... Valandil managed to dismiss the old Elf, at least for now... but I left him heading for the gate. You're welcome to pick it up from there.

Yes, it makes sense. Thank you for being a good "King" and mod, BTW, Valandil; I can respect what you're saying and understand where you're coming from. I'd like for us all to play on without having all this in-fighting, too. It would be great if that can happen. I want to say more, but I'm having difficulty finding the words. Anyway - I'm very happy you're Kinging it around here, Val!

We High Kings are suckers for flattery!
Very seriously though... when you do find the right words to express yourself, I'm very interested in hearing them.
