Greetings and Salutations!

Wow, is it ever good to see some posting on this thread. I have missed this story so much. If this starts back up, I am totally here. Schools over, work doesn't come home with me, and I've been itching to write for quite some time.

Helen, lmp, it's great to see you both. I hope to see a few others come around.

~Alak

What do you think?
In general, I have confidence in your choice of writers, trusting that you choose sticklers for canon, those of high moral persuasion, comfortable with the herioc, etc. The whole "high, purged of the gross" bit.

My only reservation would be that Liornung belongs uniquely to Nuru. If she can't play him, I'd send Liornung back to Rohan before I gave him to someone other than Nuru. Regarding Leafa, I'd still prefer that Nuru have right of first refusal; but being that Leafa is Ædegard's flame, we can't exactly send her back to Rohan unless Ædegard goes himself. Hey! I still do Ædegard's code automatically. Alt-0198. Æ. Kewl!!!

Regarding some of your writers-- The other issue/ possibility is that the folk you have listed may not be the least bit interested in that character. Perhaps rather than insist on continuing every single character, we should allow for some Southern Gondorians, or some Dol Amroth Denizens, or renegade elves or ... something. Maybe we meet up with some southbound traders from Dol Amroth and friendly old Raefindan invites them along for company despite the rumblings from the other introverts. Anyway, a few fresh characters might be a (really) good thing. Worth allowing for.

Now for the honesty regarding schedules bit-- I will be lucky to post one or two times a week, on my lunch hour. So the game will either drizzle very slowly, or, flow despite me. Either way I guess that's okay. "Revenge of the Entish Bow" finally finished, and it moved slowly. Precedent set, as if we needed one.

So.... if this takes a long time to wind up and get going, that's okay.


EDIT:

ALAK!!!!! ALAK!!!!! WOW!!!!! She's BACK!!!!!! Okay, Alak gets Erebemlin and Taitheneb. GLEE!!!! WOW! ALAK, you don't know how glad I am to see your post. Obviously, I missed it -- assumed that lmp and I were the only ones posting. HI, ALAK!!!!

Hmmmmm..... canon? That might be a little more stickling.

*LMP rushes back to drawing board*

I'm sure of Celuien, Undomé, and Feanor, and I think Formendacil might work out well too.

Celuien and Formendacil I'm most sure are of similar moral sense to us, though Feanor could get along well enough with it if it's understood at the outset. Undomé I don't know very well except that she's an incredible writer.

Check out

this and this too for example.

Oooh! Ooh! Ooooh!

I'm still here!

I've just been busy with little league baseball these past couple of days and haven't been able to get on the computer.

I definitely want to continue playing the game, and keep both my characters as well.

So glad to see we're starting up again!

Updating the list

Character - - former writer - - keep or drop - - new writer?

Mellonin - - mark - - keep - - mark
Mellondu / Amroth - - mark - - keep - - mark
Raefindan / Imrazor - - LMP - - keep - - lmp
Mithrellas - - LMP - - keep - - lmp
Nimrodel - - mark - - keep - - lmp
Ædegard - - LMP - - keep - - lmp
Nethwador - - mark - - keep - - mark
Taitheneb - - Alaklondewen - - keep - - Alaklondewen
Erebemlin - - Alaklondewen - - keep - - Alaklondewen
Ravion - - Orual - - keep - - Orual
Leafa - - Nuru - - keep - - Celuien
Tharonwe - - LMP - - keep - - LMP
Jorge - - many & various - - keep - - Formendacil?
Aeron - - Imladris - - drop
sister of Aeron - - drop
Bella - - Aylwen - - drop
Liornung - - Nuru - - drop

So Undómé and Feanor are the two other writers I think could really do this justice, bringing in new characters. There may be others of whom I'm not thinking. Kath? Firefoot?

Cool! Welcome back, Nuru!

Okay, my list updated then.....

Character - - former writer - - keep or drop - - new writer?

Mellonin - - mark - - keep - - mark
Mellondu / Amroth - - mark - - keep - - mark
Raefindan / Imrazor - - LMP - - keep - - lmp
Mithrellas - - LMP - - keep - - lmp
Nimrodel - - mark - - keep - - lmp
Ædegard - - LMP - - keep - - lmp
Nethwador - - mark - - keep - - mark
Taitheneb - - Alaklondewen - - keep - - Alaklondewen
Erebemlin - - Alaklondewen - - keep - - Alaklondewen
Ravion - - Orual - - keep - - Orual
Liornung - - Nuru - - keep -- Nurumaiel
Leafa - - Nuru - - keep - - Nurumaiel
Tharonwe - - LMP - - keep - - LMP
Jorge - - many & various - - keep - - Formendacil?
Aeron - - Imladris - - drop
sister of Aeron - - drop
Bella - - Aylwen - - drop

Possible writers:

Celuien
Undómé
Feanor
Firefoot
Kath


Of these, Feanor is probably the busiest, although that hasn't necessarily stopped her in the past. Undómé is currently at the Shire rpg level, but her ability is far beyond that, and an invitation is quite reasonable. Celuien is a deep writer, morallly and characterization-wise. Can't say enough good about her. Firefoot & Kath both have ability, but I don't know how much this might be their cup of tea.

Helen, as far as Bella is concerned, would we want to keep her in the game on account of Nethwador? She was one of the only people he really trusted and responded to. You'd know better than I!

lmp, I'm familiar with all of the writers you've mentioned, some more so than others, and I believe they'd be good choices, if they're interested.

Alak, hallo!

Nuru! It's great to see you. Helen, thanks for your welcome. I must admit you sent me into a fit of giggles. My little one was quite curious as to why Mama was chuckling to herself like that.

I'm only aquainted with a couple of the writers you've mentioned, lmp. However, when I have some time, I hope to check out the others.

I completely support the idea of having some new characters brought it. It might freshen the storyline a bit and keep the "oldies, but goodies" on their toes.

That's a strong argument for keeping her. However, dramatically it would also be a strong reason for letting her go. Nethwador would have to choose between the two. He'd stick with Amroth, but the parting would tear him in half; and it would also force him to relate to the menfolk again. Liornung's easygoing nature might keep him sane until Amroth resurfaces.

But I guess I could play it either way. If someone picks Bella up, I'm OK with that too.
