I love Whose line going to see brad sherwood and colin mochrie in may(for the second time)

anyway back on topic can i be either gothmog or saruman?

My idea is that when someone wins a challenge, they are allowed to move further than the other players. Basically, they all move forward, but the winner by a bigger margin. For example:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...oomba/Zoom.jpg Starts in Esgaroth and goes West. The first move will be about half an inch on the map and then the first challenge. Say http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...oomba/Zoom.jpg wins. He / she gets to move a full inch. Everyone else moves half an inch in any direction that they chose (North, North East, North-North East, West, South-South West ect), directions to be posted here and then the map is updated.

This may go terrible wrong... and where the heck is Nilp?

Yup. Saruman! Saruman! You mist your calling in life! You should have been the driver of your tower, and earned your bread by winning races!... So, you're Saruman, okay. :p

ok cool how bout gothmog who wants to be my orc?

... Eh? What? What be you-a talking about, me merry fellow? Old Saruman has no Orc to help him! He is quite happy with Wormtong.
It is Witch King who has the Orc to help him!

psst...I meant i want to be gothmog

my orginal post was can be Saruman OR Gothmog you said yes so I chose gothmog

and gothmog indeed has an orc

me merry fellow

Okay, Okay, Furrynuff.

Gothmog it is. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

By the way, folks, feel free to use the little icons I made. They took me ages! :D

Caranlondien and Meneltarmacil need to choose a vehicle. The Only ones left are Bag Endless-fuel and Orth-Tank.
Plus, we need two more players. Unless Saucepan wishes to play.

I'll take Orth-Tank, though as I said I won't be posting from Thursday to maybe mid-Sunday.

I suppose I shall be in the Bag Endless-Fuel. I think I'd prefer to be a passenger; although this is a new game, I still feel rather new to this realm myself...

It looks like we'll probably get enough players soon, but if not, might I prevail upon my brother to play? What say ye, Aiwendil? Although I don't know if I'd want to be a passenger with you driving...

Aww... maybe we'll get a little sibling rivalry thing going. :D

I thought I asked this earlier, but maybe I only thought I asked it. Anyway, does each vehicle recieve a different challenge depending on the way they want to go? Like does the direction a driver chooses to go have any bearing on the next challenge.

That would be ridiculously complicated. I think that everyone will have the same challenge, the task is to use the surroundings that they are in at that time, and depending on the direction they have taken. For example, everyone has to defeat a giant Orc, so someone in Mirkwood would probably try something like dropping a tree on him, and someone in Rohan might get some horses to trample it.

Notes:

Meneltarmacil is now playing as Wormtong
Caranlondien is now playing as Frodo

We Still need a Saruman and a Bilbo!

Love to! But how do you use them? I've tried a couple of combinations for Mt Zoom, but I can't get the icon to show up. What do you type in?

Hmm... sounds interesting... *Puts on one of those pilot caps and sticks a pipe in his mouth.* Could be fun y'know... *Poses as awesome soundtrack plays.*

If nobody minds, I shall be Biblo Baggins and I shall be comandeering this fine vehicle http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ndlessfule.jpg

Now this is all very lovely but wheres my tea?

Just like posting an image on CC or something.
Use the URL address between [IMG] and [/IMG ]
Just right click on the image and coppy the address.

For example, Mount Zoom is

Orth-Tank is

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../Orth-tank.jpg


No problems, Sleepy, your tea is in the post.

All we need now is a Saruman!

1...2...3... test test test.... test.
 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../Medelzoom.jpg

Testing to see if my wheels work properly

Edit: Looks like they do =) Thanks Hoobkill

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...mba/Dwarfy.jpg This is a fake Title.

My idea was that each driver and passenger would use their vehicle instead of a normal icon:
i.e. http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon14.gif, http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon13.gif, http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon8.gif etcetera.

I'll use the Dwarfy the Dwarf http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...mba/Dwarfy.jpg icon for my posts in comentating and chalenge setting. I don't know if Nilp will want to do the same thing.

If theres space for another passenger count me in but as people who have played ww with me know, i get very limited access to computers occasionaly only to put one or two posts in at once

Oh my! Look here! I must ask if we may drive this fine automobile instead of the other very lovely one!

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...ilbo-Frodo.jpg

The only position yet to be filled is Saruman the Orth-Tank http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../Orth-tank.jpg Driver.

Sorry, Sleepy, Bag-endless-fuel has been entered. Too late for any others. :p

Only if there's no problem with me not being around from Wednesday this week through to Monday the following week. If so, then I had first dibs on Bilbo.

Otherwise, you'd best count me out.

Well, Saruman is the only one left...
You can be involved as the bookmaker if you like. Take bets on the racers, anyone who wins gets a rep from me! Being 5th in the table, I'd think that’s a nice incentive. :D

[Edit] And if you lose, you have to give Saucepan a rep! ;)

If Spanman is playing then I don't mind being Saruman. And little Hookbill, I believe we need a list of who is what.

Good point, sir. And I’ve realised that we still need an Orc...

Most kind, Sleepy R. And I did request the Bag-Endless-fuel driver seat on the previous page ...

Tell you what. Can I play as Bilbo if Caranlondien-Frodo is happy to pilot the vehicle on her own for the first week?

Sure thing. I think Frodo's fully capable of piloting for a bit...

Well its settled then I suppose. I shall be Saruman. I'm paired with Menel? How lovely. I haven't seen him in a while. Do well, friend? I don't believe we've interacted since WWJ I, you were in WWJ I, right? :rolleyes:

Anyway, when do you plan to begin Hookbill?

Okay folks! These things are noted.
Bilbo is a Saucepan! (Oooh, tabloid headlines!)
And Saruman is Sleepy. (Oooohhh, ha-ha-ha! Sorry, this is becoming a thread of puns! :D )

All we need now is an Orc for Barrad-Dash!

I plan to begin on Monday, provided we have the final player.

might as will give me a veichile i'll be back soon

*******

What about Minas Taxi? And if its all the same to you could the race begin earlier? Say around 6:00pm GMT? Thanks.

EDIT: Or could we get the first challenge early?

Ack! Well spotted, change made.

Count it laziness on my part. :p I wanted a bit of a sleep-in.

I think I'll start the race early then. Say, first posts (at least) for each vehicle in by 23:00 GMT on Monday?

Its easy when its all in bold... :rolleyes:

But yes, I believe that time would suit just fine. Now this first post thing has me confused. Will it be about a challenge or do we just make first posts about how we prepare for the race or something?

Yes! Hookbill, I knew you'd come up with something like this eventually! I definetly want to be part in the next one! I'll be watching...
________
Extreme q

First posts, for now, the challenge will be set when they are all in. The first post should specify which direction the vehicles are taking above all. The post should include an introduction to some sort of back-story as to why your character is taking part. Try and fit in as many jokes as you can! :D

Do both the driver and passenger make a first post or just the driver?

Also, you spelled challenge wrong in your signature.

Only the driver has to post, but both can, if they so wish, just to get their story going on a bit.

Yes, I'll change my sig in a minute.

Eh? That's 11 pm am. I am confused. :confused:

11:00 PM
In the night.
It was suposed to be a joke. :p

Ready... set...
 

Righto...

So.

If I understand this aright, I am now able to post Denethor's "Hello Dwarves! Look at my matchbox!" post on the Game Thread?
