Barrow-Downs Birthday Party - Discussion Thread - Page 4 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nerindel · 05-02-2003, 10:46 AM

hey this is great [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Sophia, Earwen what do you say we have a little friendly competition to spice things up abit [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] hehe ah it's not that bad we can see how many of the men we can get to dance with us on this fair night, keeping a count and such lol.

I have to go just now but I'll be back in a few hours, if you like this idea go ahead and start with out me, i'm sure i'll be able to catch up [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Stryker Stormeye · 05-02-2003, 11:00 AM

Hmm... I see a Page 11, but when I click on it, I get the blinding white page of death!

Stryker Stormeye · 05-02-2003, 11:15 AM

Ok... now there isn't a Page 11.

*Varda* · 05-02-2003, 11:51 AM

People, people, people. You post far too fast for a poor hobbit like Poppy to keep up with you all! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I've had a few problems loading pages as well...must just be Lush and that blindingly white aura of hers. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

***Mithadan*** · 05-02-2003, 11:58 AM

On the first day of the party, a glitch killed about 5 posts. The server appears to think they are still there, so when a page fills, the next page pops up blank (the "white screen of death" Diamond refers to). Just keep posting and when the prededing page fills, the white screen will disappear.

Helkahothion · 05-02-2003, 12:53 PM

Poor Mithadan. First the server kills people and then the Middle Earth femminists and hobbitists start sparying gravveti. Thank god no one is nicking fireworks. heheheheheheehehehehe. Say, I'm wondering: Why has Barrow-Wight not shown up yet? It is his site right? I am really looking forward to that.

mark12_30 · 05-02-2003, 12:55 PM

So THAT'S how The White Screen Of Death happens?!?!? I got that **so much** during Lonely Star that I bookmarked the last page in Favorites and just clicked on that all the time after i posted....

kittiewhirl1677 · 05-02-2003, 02:18 PM

Niluial, I already put up the post, but is Don a man or elf or...? You probably mentioned it, but as I had very limited time to read the Party RPG I missed it.

Niluial · 05-02-2003, 02:19 PM

Sorry if I am being nosy but what awards will be given and when?
Oh Don is a Elf!!

I was just wondering when he was going to show up.... Perhaps he's waiting to make his first appearance at the award ceremony?

Helkahothion · 05-02-2003, 02:33 PM

That's probably it [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Typical BW, always awaiting the right moment.

Arafangwen · 05-02-2003, 02:53 PM

The White Screen Of Death is upon us! Not like we have anything to be worried about, after all, we've already died anyways....

Stryker Stormeye · 05-02-2003, 03:37 PM

Wait... who died?

Niluial · 05-02-2003, 04:03 PM

We died, silly!

Stryker Stormeye · 05-02-2003, 04:15 PM

Oh... now I get it. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

I'm a pile-o-bones already.

Nurumaiel · 05-02-2003, 05:00 PM

Lady Alasse

Is it possible for you to PM or post here and short little description of Alasse? Firramer is finding it a bit challenging to dance with an Elf when he doesn't know what she looks like. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Niluial · 05-02-2003, 05:30 PM

I still really want to know when the awards are happening! I am not expecting an award at all but I want to be there when the awards get handed out, because I want to see all my friends get their award!!

Quoting Mithaden:

I anticipate that the awards portion of the party will not begin before next Monday.

I wouldn't expect them in the next day or two. They may be waiting for the chaos to die down.

Niluial · 05-02-2003, 05:43 PM

Oh ok cool thank you!

Oddwen · 05-02-2003, 07:15 PM

There are soooo many elves! Single female elves sitting in corners waiting for a dance...it's confusing! What is it about elves that makes people want to be them? Is it immortality? Undescribable beauty? Or just Legolas? Hobbits could be fun. Men are easier to be...since you people really are men. Ha ha, yes! I know your secrets!

elven maiden Earwen · 05-02-2003, 07:22 PM

What are you talking about I'm an elf!!!

No jk I play an elf because to me they are easier charecters to start with. Why? Becuase they have very little flaws. Hobbits too short to me to come to a party with the big folk. Men to me. Hippos well thats not really my style [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ok Nuru, I'll try. I'm not sure if I'll be able to figure it out though so it may take a little while.

Oh, so that's why I got confused! I thought the actual party started on Monday, and so I didn't bother checking the forum till then, and got far behind..!
AHA!
(Keep away from me I'm dangerous at this stage of understanding)
(As you can see)-that was RAAANDOM....

kittiewhirl1677 · 05-02-2003, 09:06 PM

Eladoriel has just fainted from drinking too much, and has found herself in the place with the couches where everyone is sleeping. She is talking to a stranger. Any claims on him? I don't wanna make up any more characters, so if there's someone willing to be mysterious person who she can't see out of her blurred vision, then go ahead. Just tell me on this thread so that I can at least get some grasp on things.

Thanks! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer · 05-03-2003, 06:18 AM

Ack, you all post too fast...I now have no idea where my character is....

Yes, I lost my character as well. For a time... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Orual · 05-03-2003, 08:53 AM

I couldn't get on last night, and now I'm lost, too...lol, I just look for Nurumaiel's posts. Where Nuru is, there is Rie!

Oh, and Schmendrick, my Talômi is flirting with Isilmë, since she seemed unoccupied and was wearing sneakers. ^_^

~*~Orual~*~

Schmendrick · 05-03-2003, 09:09 AM

Orual:
Well, so it seems! (I don't know how I could have missed that before!) Isilmë has indeed been pretty unoccupied the whole time! She was already seriously thinking about leaving...so, thanks! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Stryker Stormeye · 05-03-2003, 09:26 AM

Easy way to find your character:

Say that they walk up to the buffet to get some Balrog wings!

Airerûthiel · 05-03-2003, 10:23 AM

This might be a daft question but are you allowed to play more than one role at the party, such as a character and yourself? Any answers, either through PM or posted here, would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-03-2003, 10:41 AM

Plenty of people seem to be doing just that... as far as I can tell Samwise brought four besides herself (Mimi, Prim, Stacey, Tennyson, and Cromthal) So I'd say it's fine [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Morai · 05-03-2003, 10:47 AM

Mithandan, if you need a humorous performance into between awards, Harlon(my date) would be happy to do so. (After all, he is Galadriel's jester!)

Schmendrick · 05-03-2003, 04:04 PM

ps.Orual: feel free to "wake up" Isilmë, if you like! (Problems with the time-zones - I come from Europe...) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Stryker Stormeye · 05-03-2003, 04:25 PM

When are the awards going to be handed out?

Diamond18 · 05-03-2003, 04:33 PM

Starting Monday, perhaps.

Eruanna · 05-03-2003, 04:44 PM

This is a great party. I've had so much fun reading the thread [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Saucepan Man thanks for "allowing" me to do my famous paper and comb solo [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I hope we can have a dance later!!

Unfortunately, real life (and work) mean I can't post much at the moment, but keep up the good work everyone. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 05-03-2003, 04:54 PM

Ah HA! After delving into the ancient archives in Valinor, I think I've finally ascertained the reason the 'Mudwaters have not packed quite the punch they usually do:

Quote:

From The Revenge of the Entish Bow

...the Double ‘Mudwater Gargleblaster Surprise hit him, and hit him hard. He slipped from the barstool and lay on the ground in a heap, kind of like when a curtain falls off the rod and piles itself on the ground in a mass of fabric that will surely need ironing later.

Watch out for mixed Mirkwoodian (aka Workmudian) drinks coming to a party near you.

Oddwen · 05-03-2003, 05:36 PM

If anyelf was offended by my last post here, I apologize. I didn't mean to offend, I was just making an observation.
Elves are good talkers I hear...I ought to go talk to one and stop making a bloody fool of myself...stupid Hair Mousse.

Stryker Stormeye · 05-03-2003, 07:30 PM

Lol, I was an elf because my sister was an elf (Lady Alasse) and it would have been kind of strange if I hadn't been (IE: She's an elf, I'm a dwarf, etc.)

My character has developed the ability to disappear and reappear at will! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
