Well, if I unwittingly have one of the Gondorians slipping up in one of my posts, I hope you'll just ask me to edit and not assign them to Mordor.

Obscenity: I'm not fully aware of the extent to which this ban implies, but the rule I want everyone to go by is "If you wouldn't want your ten-year-old sister reading it, don't post it."

What if, hypothetically speaking, I'd happily corrupt the mind of my hypothetical ten-year-old-sister with all manner of hypothetical obsceneties? *innocent, sweet smile*

I won't post anything I wouldn't dare to post anywhere else in the forum.

Romance is very much allowed, but keep it tasteful and "in the spirit of Tolkien."

What, no chance of putting the Travest-O-Metre to work? (For those not familiar, the T-O-M was created by Squatter of Amon Rudh for use in measuring the the level of outrageousness in REB posts.) Well it's a good thing Skittles is too insane to fall in love. Unless Nilp agrees to cameo, of course.

Absolute cheese in romance is still allowed, though, I hope. Or else LMP's and my plans will be disarranged for one cameo subplot...

It's entirely tasteful, so long as one is fond of cheddar.

I do believe that cheesey romance is more in the spirit of Tolkien than any other variety.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Because the King's Law and the Dweomer are currently so unpredictable, not all mistakes will have immediate consequences. Also, no characters will be faced with Consequences due to somebody else's posting (though they may if they respond in a manner unfitting a Gondorian).

Basically it translates to: this is so up to my whim that it's not even funny.



And I very much look forward to watching Anakron's cheesy romance, ergo everyone should have fun with looooove stories. As long as they fit with your characters.

And Diamond, should the Travest-O-Metre be used (yes, I'm familiar with it) or should my humble little game ever be otherwise placed upon the level of REB, I am quite sure that I will sort of... well, die of shock and happiness.

I added more history to Mardil's bio. I typed it fast, so just let me know if some things don't make sense.

I'm hoping I'll have the time tomorrow or the day after to do a write-up on why Mardil sent the particular ambassadors that he did, so I would ask my ambassadors not to talk about their Mardil related dynamics until after that post is made.

[Diamond18]

he went walking in the palace garden and caught his daughter, Morwen, and Mardil making out in one of the fountains.

Tasteful. I like it.

Anyway, I have some ideas for Skittles' first post but I'm not sure I want to make hers the first one out the gate, so I'm holding off. Should we work out which Ambassadors approach each other for the questions-thing or is everyone going to make the rounds?

Tasteful. I like it.

How else could I have said it? "Making out" is not a very Middle-Earthian term and doesn't sound that, er, formal, but if I had said something like "romantically entangled", it might have caused people to think a lot more than what I intended.
