Discussion Thread Number 5 Of Wraiths-Kings-Friends-Rings Campaign - Page 27

I haven't really thought about them being any special as vampires go, but perhaps they are. Here's an idea:

They are bloodthirsty spirits confined in human bodies and I must find names that are more ME than the ones I listed. Perhaps you can advice on that.

Some -dil ones for the male vampires and -ilas for female ones.

We can change that into them not having anything to do with the NG and them being there for their own purposes that is to drink as much blood as possible.

Post #779 has been edited to accomodate the new MEish names.

Lady Marion Magdalena · 02-03-2006, 02:02 PM

Sounds shiney.

CrazySquirrel · 02-03-2006, 02:09 PM

As far as I know, the nazgul are not planning to take over the city.

Instead, we are trying to blend into the mankind as well as possible. WE have nothing to do with your vampires, GW!

I hope the vampire-hunt will not reveal us in any way?

Lotesse · 02-03-2006, 02:11 PM

Hey Grey Wolf, how come you don't use all your awesome animals anymore? I personally MUCH prefer them to the vampires, but that's just me! I love your animals but vamps just seem a little out of place in middle-earth. Did they really have vampires there?

Where are your wonderful weasels and wolves? I miss them.

The last sane person · 02-03-2006, 02:15 PM

Agreed. These vampire things seem out of place, but hey, not gona be my game for much longer. Lotesse, can you start with the flash back to the supper date, we'd best do it now, before we jump ahead a few pages.

I thought the animals were a bit malplaced. And the vampires at least used to be human. I don't know, looks like I messed up the story again. Sorry. The Kravens will kill the Vampires and that will be that.

I don't really know what to write once I phased out the vampires. So I won't mess up the story anymore with my own dubious inventions. No hard feelings thou from my point I just am not good enough at this sort of thing.

The Kree will now have the left the city, not having found Tyaron, and disolving back into to nature, never to return.

Lotesse · 02-03-2006, 02:23 PM

Shah, please, please do not leave! Can you just think about it? Can you maybe just take a break if you want to, and then we can ease back into the RPG? I don't know what Viv will do, anyway, without her lover Ray. And remember our plan? Just think about it a bit longer, PLEEEEAASE? Please?

The last sane person · 02-03-2006, 02:36 PM

....I'll see..but in the mean time, please post the flash backs, I dont want any loose ends.

Lotesse · 02-03-2006, 02:39 PM

O.K., I will! I will later on this afternoon, because right now I'm trying to tear myself away from the computer for a couple hours and go to my man's office and help him with a few things. I procrastinate so well with this computer! But I'll do our dinner later on today, I PROMISE! O.K. now I've promised, so I have to.

The last sane person · 02-03-2006, 02:43 PM

Good, and I shall prod you unmercifully if you don't, for ye will then be an Oath breaker. And we both know what happens to Oath breakers.

Eternal face rot and general ugliness.

Lotesse · 02-03-2006, 02:47 PM

I know! That's why I made the oath, so I am forced by my own word to follow through. That face rot consequence is terrifying, too. Helluva visual.

NOOO, don't leave, Shah!

The story will become poor without Ray.

And without Shah - I adored your scenes with Mahta. REALLY AWESOME POSTS!

Kill Marty if you want to, he doesn't love my poor Lilly

, BUT PLEASE LEAVE THE OTHERS!

The last sane person · 02-03-2006, 03:46 PM

We'll see. Both boys are slated to die, but we'll see how this all goes. Or at least get Marty messed up enough to send him home, and killing Ray...and Shah too...It's up in the air, we will just have to wait and find out.

I second that. Don't leave, Shah, please!

And Rian. Please, stay!
All your suggestions are quite fine and can be used as a compromise. Please, don't take offence. No one has anything against you, I am sure! Perhaps we can still work something out.

Grey_Wolf · 02-03-2006, 04:23 PM

End of inappropriate additions to the story. Taking a long break. Perhaps I'll be back when ME-inspired posts come to me again.

I can say that your desire to defend Val's cause and to smooth our disagreements only shows that you are a nice person and a loyal friend...

thank you

, but my point was that over the course of the rpg, I tried to come to the aid of ANYONE who I felt was being misunderstood or not treated fairly. For example, last year I fought really hard for Lotesse in one of the dust-ups, both publically on the discussion thread and in private (I spent hours behind the scene with PMs trying to appease the person that was ticked at her and wasn't listening to what she was saying). And I'd fight for you, too, if I felt you were treated unfairly or misunderstood. I guess that's just the middle child in me ...

I was fighting for Val because I didn't see people understanding his point of that if the pirates just waltzed into Tharbad, that means that the king was being terribly irresponsible. IOW, that particular storyline said something about someone else's character, so that person should have a say in it, too. I think that point is being seen now, because people have mentioned things like it happened because of bad luck, etc.

I wasn't trying to - I guess you didn't understand me.

Quote:

For that I am sorry.

thanks, and I'm very sorry if I offended you at all

Quote:

As for your suggestions for the story (#492, # 469 and so on), I thought and I still think them good and acceptable. Earniel also made a suggestion (was it to let Val crush the main force and let only a small detachment reach Tharbad?) acceptable to FOEAD. Never did any of FOEAD people decline them. But to work, they have to be approved by Valandil. Isn't he the central character in this game? Isn't he the head of FOGAL? Where is his approval or disapproval? He never replied.

I thought he replied in that short post where he said to go ahead and do what you guys wanted to do ...

Quote:

... So, please, stay.

thanks again, your kind and honest post was very heartwarming. I'm definitely going, though - as I said, I'm just too gun-shy here right now, and that's probably not good for anyone. I'm trying to work through some difficult things that happened years ago in RL, and that's probably adding to the rawness of how I've felt during the fights here - I know I tend to be defensive. Anyway, I'll walk my characters out of Tharbad in an rpg day or two when Tyaron is reasonably up for a trip. They might come back some day, but prob. not. But thanks for asking

Thanks, Gor

I hope one of those suggestions works out for you guys, but I need to leave now. I hope you guys have a very enjoyable rpg!

I'll probably follow it for awhile and enjoy everyone's writing

but I just don't feel up to dealing with the unpleasant aspects of the discussion thread right now.

I enjoyed your posts very much, esp. the little night-life in the garden post, and thanks for all your work with maps, schedules, etc.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 02-03-2006, 06:02 PM

Yes Gor, I'm here. I'll try and catch up with all the RPG posts tomorrow and reply where I need to.

RÃ*an and Shah, lease don't leave. Your charchters have been valuable to the RPG. Shah, I'll PM you with a suggestion for Marty.

***RÃan*** · 02-03-2006, 06:31 PM

thanks, TD, but gotta go

I really enjoyed working with you when our characters had a scene together - you really gave me a surprise in the kitchen at Orrodel!

and it was a pleasure to work with you in the firing scene
