Evil twin thing seems to be settled. Finally, I get a real part. I'll send More Or Less Good Tano out to quest, and I'll sit back and wait for her....

I agree, telepathic communication is just not right for this RPG. This isn't a D&D style fantasy quest...it's a parody of Tolkien, and "mindspeech" (as some of the pathetic fantasy novels put it) doesn't seem to have a place here. Plus, if one person has it, and another doesn't, there is a unfair advantange there. And it's just annoying. (No, it's not just you, EG!)

Thanks, guys. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one annoyed by it

And I think a few of the horses and ponies saying something occasionally could be really funny.

Yay! It's so fun laying in wait for my good twin....heh heh heh *evil laughter*

ooc:i dont no how many of u have read Tamora Pierce,but lve always wanted wild magic.besides,Idril Celabrindal could do that in the original TLA.

Yes, but this is not Tamora Pierce. Save it for another rpg, please. And what's this about Idril Celabrindal? I know not to what you refer....

Did we have a Idril Celebrindal in our first TLA RPG? I'd think I should have remembered that.... my mind can be a mess sometimes but no, I don't remember. Sorry.

But if you're refering to THE Idril Celebrindal from Gondolin, I'd say she was Noldorin royalty and we're plain human. *glances at EG, Tano and NQ* Human with slight evil tendencies.

But human nevertheless.

Wild magic doesn't really fit with the TLA, me thinks.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 09-08-2002, 04:28 PM

I is confused. Did I get a pony? KC is justes sitting around doing notink. My charactor is gonna dissappear if I don't do something. But what to do?

Tanoliel · 09-08-2002, 05:43 PM

Methinks the lady needs to get a pony, or attach herself onto the back of someone else's.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 09-08-2002, 05:45 PM

I'd gladly share Touchstone but he's rather small...and cute!

(he's actually a pony from the Woodland Park Zoo. I had to rename him though.)

Claenoic · 09-09-2002, 07:09 PM

I return! *hears groans* What?

I reeeaaaallly like the Smaugette/evil twin idea. Since I don't have an evil twin, can I send my evil alter ego/friend/enemy Jessica?

***Earniel*** · 09-11-2002, 07:25 AM

I've solved your problem Katt. You can ride with one of us, you can change once in a while so we don't burden one animal too much. (Gosh I'm using logic here!

) Unless you of course find yourself your very own pony.

Oh, come on Claenoic, you have to have at least some evil traits.

But if you really want to the 'evil alter ego/friend/enemy Jessica' it's OK with me.

Tanoliel · 09-11-2002, 01:08 PM

Works for me. I'll make Freak be nice. Kitty?

By the way, we will be without a Zandalf for a little while...I am still waiting to find out whether I can take over his character for the time when he's not here.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 09-14-2002, 11:29 PM

I laughed so hard about the apples. But do you know why I am a sack of Apples?

The Apple Conspiricy!

It's an omen!

*Whacks head with shoe*

Green Apples!

It's an omen!

*Whacks head with shoe*

Willow Oran · 09-15-2002, 02:46 PM

Yay!!! The Smaugettes live! I like the evil twin thing. Heh... meet Smaugalena. Mwahahahahahaa!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and if the horses need to say something they can say it out loud. Talking critters or intelligent critters are funny plot devices, but telepathetic animals bug me. They do not have a place in a Tolkien parody. Sorry to anyone who disagrees, but it's the truth.

Finrod Felagund · 09-17-2002, 01:42 PM

Actually, forget me coming along with you! I'm still Finrollum!
PM me when my scene arrives if i don't read up.

Claenoic · 09-17-2002, 07:55 PM

Umm... you guys... ARE ALL OF YOU GUYS GOING TO LET TLA DIE OUT?!?!?!? *Waves arms in maddened state* I really, REALLY don't want The Hobbit TLA style to die out, but if that's the case... *Waves PM to CBG about threateningly*

Aeryn · 09-17-2002, 08:05 PM

ooc, you guys are funny. so you guys are sort of doing improve rpg's...that's what im used to, build onto one persons statement make it a story kinda thing but the rpg i started didn't get a warm welcome

any way I think i may try another sometimes after i am done moping about my last one.

Tanoliel · 09-17-2002, 10:03 PM

*snatches PM out of C's hand and tosses it in the recycling bin*
NO! TLA shall not die!
*goes off to post*

***Earniel*** · 09-18-2002, 05:07 AM

I was kind of waiting until you would do your scene with the trolls, Claenoic. But if no one posted tonight, I'll have a go at it.

What's with the waving threateningly with PM's?

Tanoliel · 09-18-2002, 08:32 PM

Claenoic posted...and then I did a rather long one. *sheepish grin* But I remembered all this dialogue, and, well...*shrugs*
By the way, Zandalf has not been around and will not be for an undetermined but hopefully short amount of time. He has said I can be Zandalf for that time. So bow down before my multi-personality-ness.
