TLA-discussion - Page 66

***Earniel*** · 03-05-2004, 07:44 PM

I gather from her post that she has read at least some part of it, Finrod.

Welcome to the Entmoot, Mango.

I hope you'll like it here. Chocolate and insanity and Tolkien are pretty much the basic requirements for the TLA.

Try and read the other two role plays we've done when you've got a large amount of time on your hands. Personally I think they're a little better at times than our current game. It's also convenient knowing from them what's the history behind our game. But I suppose Willow has a point that you'll probably catch on quick enough without them.

Now we'll only need to find a good spot for getting your character in. We still have to do the same with Count Comfect if I'm not mistaken....

Which reminds me, the chapter of Lúthien and Beren is nearing its end. How will we continue to the next chapter?

Mango · 03-05-2004, 09:06 PM

Hee hee. Thank you Earniel! (If I knew how to do those little dots over the "a" I would have. Sadly, not too computer savy...)

I would like to appear in the form of a small fuzzy gray and white flop eared rabbit named Bun Bun. Between evil kitties devouring hands and Giant chihuahuas and werewelves and TLAers running a muck nobody quite knows where the Sillymerils are at the moment. How about I'll just pick them up and barter a place into the TLA with them?

Finrod Felagund · 03-05-2004, 10:17 PM

Well, actually, the evil puppy swallowed it and we're hunting him!

Mango · 03-05-2004, 10:32 PM

Exactly! I'll have something you want! So going to post now...

Christiana · 03-08-2004, 01:26 AM

Earniel, i believe that after Beren and Luthien live happily ever after and all that, the elves try to assult Morogoth's domain. However, the scouts (aka us) who were supposed to be watching for solicitors, found a large stash of chocolate and mirivour and beer. Thus they were too drunk to give warning, and the armies got slaughtered. The battle should be christianed Beers Unumbered

Count Comfect · 03-26-2004, 02:02 PM

Just sort of a question: Where is everyone?

Katt_knome_hobbit · 03-26-2004, 04:18 PM

I'm busy drinking at the Teacup Cafe.
Sorry

Arcala · 03-26-2004, 07:17 PM

Actually, I have no idea what to post, as well as not knowing where we are.

***Earniel*** · 03-27-2004, 03:47 AM

I'm working on my thesis/final essay thingie. It's going to be at least a week before I can role play again.

Christiana · 04-02-2004, 10:04 PM

*sighs* i'll be away in WA for a week. ill post before i go though

Katt_knome_hobbit · 04-13-2004, 08:15 PM

I'm back! what did I miss?

I've just been reading the book of lost tales while locked in a theater over break.

What's happening?

Count Comfect · 04-13-2004, 11:46 PM

We just finished up Beren and Luthien.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 04-14-2004, 12:18 PM

Oh goodie. What's next? Godsdamnit, where is my Sil?

Arcala · 04-18-2004, 01:43 PM

Next, I think, is Of the fifth battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad. In which there was a fifth battle and Hurin is captured and his family is cursed. Any ideas?

Count Comfect · 04-29-2004, 01:23 PM

Well, I started it. I don't have any great ideas though. Any thoughts? Anyone?

***Earniel*** · 05-02-2004, 09:04 AM

I'll repost the list of what we still can do with the sillymarillion from a previous post of mine.

Quote:

1. Have fun at the feast of reuniting.
2. Haul in the weeklings... I mean... Men.
3. Battle of the Sudden Flame and death of Fingolfiana.
4. The tale of Beren and Morauthien
5. Turin's tale
6. The end of Doriath
7. Gondolin (from Eöl to the end)
8. Eärendil's tale
9. The big battle (in which we hopefully we'll have a final show down with melkor, Ulrica and Mr. Nelson.
10. We can do the Akallabêth as a dessert if there's anyone still interested in it after all of that.

Hm, seems I forgot to mention this battle in its entirety.

Oh well, could we perhaps keep it brief? I'm not all too fond of battles and since this particular battle is so terrible for the Elves, it'd be extremely hard to make it funny. In any case I don't have much good ideas for it. So could we wrap it up in a post or 2 and move on to Turin's tale? What do you say?

Count Comfect · 05-02-2004, 03:59 PM

That sounds great! But I'm not going to do it... idealess. Hope someone has an idea.

***Earniel*** · 05-02-2004, 04:06 PM

Give it a day or two and if nobody has had a good idea for this by then I'll try the slightly lousy one I had.

***Earniel*** · 05-11-2004, 09:08 AM

No takers then? Alrightie...

EDIT: There, not perfect but we're all set for the next tale. I hope nobody minds I stuffed the whole battle into one measly post. Does anyone has any good idea for Túrin's tale?

Arcala · 05-13-2004, 06:57 PM

Morwen could have tried to send Turin to Thingol with whoever was available, and perhaps (unfortunately for Turin) the TLA are the only ones that Morwen sees so little Turin gets to travel with us to Thingol!

I don't know. Is that a bad idea?

Do we have someone who is playing Turin?
