Can I make a request? When we refer to past games, can we just do it plainly? I'm all for fun with roleplay, but the whole "my lorebooks say..." and "her ancestors have done..." etc. I find all rather tedious. I mean, we all know what we're talking about anyway so I'd rather just be able to say it out than obfuscate it with analogy. So... pretty please?

Thumbs up

I completely agree with Diamond on this one!! I found it hard to keep remembering to put in the lorebook, I think we have enough stuff to worry about.

Ty Nogrod, so I think I'll be The Mouth of Fingon (or Fingon's Ambassador) whatever you prefer.

I would like to see the Cobbler back, and I think roles should be revealed upon death.

The other two, I'm indifferent on, I'm for either one.

Relationship/role- Elenwe's personal guard

Can I do that?

I agree with Diamond and Valier- we usually just end up slipping out of the role play anyways.

Hmmmm.....I'll be the family's goat herder!

Question, does either Lommy or Noggy know exactly what day the game will be starting on? I'm gettin' kinda antsy for another game

No, we don't. It's the 5th or the 6th, as Noggie said before.

Yes, you can, though you might be accused of being a bit careless...

About refering to the past games... For us it's all the same, so you can say "in the previous games" or "my lorebooks say" or whatever you wish.

No, I don't like them. Besides they give a huge advantage for those living in the kind of timezone that they're not sleeping/working at the deadline. But I think the one-time retraction'd be fine, if you players prefer it to no retractions.

Naria, I hope you got the idea of the logical hunter...

Boromir
, you maybe should think why the ambassador of Fingon was marching with Turgon's host. Or is he Fingon's ambassador to Turgon?

Lommy, or how about I just be an Ambassador of Turgon himself?
