I agree with you about the name, Eärniel. (see post). Runtogether names are funny.

Finrod Felagund · 08-18-2004, 12:07 AM

How dreadful...has TLA DIED?!

***Earniel*** · 08-18-2004, 01:39 PM

Perhaps, it was bound to happen some day.... I was hoping we could keep it off until we finished it. So I'm thinking people are a little bussy right now with holidays, colleges and whatnot and that some at least will post again soon.

***Earniel*** · 08-31-2004, 07:38 AM

It's over more than a year now since the Sillymarillion started, so let's get a status report.

I'd like to know just how many of us are still here and how many still want to continue. Many have moved on to greener pastures so I'd like to know how many of us remain.

I'd like to see the Sillymarillion ended properly but there is no shame in giving up now. The TLA went on for 2 years and a half and that is some achievement! Besides we won't be the first who broke their teeth on the Silmarillion.

So, my friends, what say you?

Lief Erikson · 08-31-2004, 11:58 AM

Just wanted to pop in briefly to say good job! Excellent work on keeping the RPG going so long! Marvelous what a bunch of dedicated roleplayers can do

Elf Girl · 09-01-2004, 11:41 AM

Hi guys!

I don't exist, I'm just dropping by to say I LOVE YOU ALL.

I had a bizarre dream last night where I met a bunch of you at a Tolkien convention, but none of you would tell me which one of you was which, so I thought Tano was Eruviel etc. And then it got all twisted up with the Olympics and you were all volleyball players-

...okay, I'll shut up.

School starts in a few weeks- I might come back and start RPing then, I've had something of a change of heart... but I'm technically not online at all until then.

*massive hugs for all TLAers*

Tanoliel · 09-06-2004, 12:14 AM

Lordy, I haven't been here in FOREVER!

...how bizarre. It's changed, hasn't it? Whoa...

(Yeah, you can see how up to date I've been.)

I too would like to see the Silly ended properly, but I can't really do much myself since I don't know the book very well. It feels like TLA has sort of died out...which is sad, but it had to happen sometime. If someone wants to write a big happy ending post I wouldn't object...*sheepish grin*

***Earniel*** · 09-08-2004, 02:06 PM

Elf Girl! How wonderful to see you in here again.

It would be nice if you could rejoin us but it will take a wee bit more than me and you to restart the TLA again, I fear.

Tano! long time no see too.

You don't feel any urge to read the Silmarillion and enter the game again, do you? If not, I understand but you see, I had to ask.

Supposedly if I have enough time and inspiration I might attempt to conclude the Sillymarillion on my own but it wouldn't be half as funny without the input of the rest of you. It will in no doubt require more than a big happy ending

as we're quite in the middle of things.

In any case, I've decided to wait until the end of the month and if no one else wishes to continue by then I will consider the chapter of the TLA closed.

Finrod Felagund · 09-09-2004, 05:42 AM

know what...I've been lacking in inspiration, but I'll go back and skim the Sil, and our first 2 TLA's and see if my mind can be peaked...
I'd love to see this baby finished...

Renille · 09-25-2004, 11:53 AM

TLA?
TLA is still alive???
WOW! The only reason I'm here is because I,too, had a dream about this site...and I wanted to check in to see if my lovely TLA is still in existance.
AND IT IS?
Wow. Good job, everyone.

Tanoliel · 09-25-2004, 01:09 PM

Hehe...it's kind of still alive. I think it needs life support.

Renille · 09-25-2004, 01:16 PM

Well that shouldn't be too hard...I want to be an ER doctor someday. What's wrong with practicing 9 years early?

Call out the virtual defibrillators!

It's still alive as yet, but you may have come just in time to see its demise, though...

Are you still interested in playing?

Renille · 09-25-2004, 01:25 PM

Well I WANT to. It's just that I don't know if I CAN. I'm so busy this year. But to see TLA through to its conclusion might be worth getting even less sleep.
So I'll do it. I have to read the Silm some more, though, it's been a few years since I read it. And I actually don't have a set character in this, as I've only actually posted a few times. But that's okay. I can make things up as I go.

***Earniel*** · 09-25-2004, 01:34 PM

Well, considering that in a month time only 4 players have stated their interest in continuing the TLA, the game -if it gets started up again- will not move too fast. So you might be well able to keep up. But it's your decision, I don't want you to tax your year overmuch, least of all your sleep, but you yourself will know best if you're able to participate again or not.

But I'd love to see our baby take off again.

It would be nice if you could visit post on it, it doesn't have to be every week.

You do sort of still have a character, we've kept circulating the names of the TLA-members somewhat, even if the owners hadn't visited for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, your character Ren is still there, saying a few things once in a while and ready to be played again by you. But I trust you'd have to read up on a lot of material.

Renille · 09-25-2004, 01:39 PM

I DO have alot of reading up to do...hmm...I should go search for that thread now.
And Ren is still there? Oh goody! Oh, I miss Aragren. And Thoren. I was reading the first TLA again, and it was wonderful...insanely wonderful, but wonderful.
I really hope more people come...that would be incredible. I do want to see this through.

Count Comfect · 09-25-2004, 06:55 PM

*a very tired person raises their hand in the back* I also want to try to continue doing it, if possible. I've been very busy with moving to college (turn in my study card on Monday! Whee!) but I am now moved in and willing to continue.

Finrod Felagund · 09-26-2004, 03:40 AM

As am I!

***Earniel*** · 09-26-2004, 06:47 AM

Great! Thank you guys!

Then I think we officially have enough people to at least keep the game going; Although it would be nice some more people join or come back.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 10-16-2004, 03:11 PM

I was scolded for not giving Conturin a propper torture scene.

Moop.

Fine.

I'll get him later.

What next then? When's he gotta slay the dragon and all that?
