Well, Firefoot, this rpg is entertainment and RL is RL, so I understand. Don't worry about it. We'll just carry on here.

There seems to be a lack of interest in this rpg. Should it just stop?

I would like someone else to post before I do again, but if nobody does before the weekend is out, I will.

There is a great deal of interest but a distinct lack of time! Once this weekend is over I should be able to get a post up ... if you can wait that long.

Wrong assumption. As Kath said, not lack of interest by a long shot - but lack of time. Tomorrow is my day off, and I intend to write some posts for the RPGs I'm in.

Just testing the waters. A solid week of NOTHING tempts me to do that.

Well if you need another player I'll be happy to join. I've had my eye on this RPG for awhile and I've just about made up my mind to join it, if that's alright with the moderater.

For my part, it's both relative lack of time and uncertainity of the future of the Hall. It feels odd to post normally when we have no idea what's going to be or change...

I'm sure you'll be very welcome to the game, Groin! I'm not the moderator, but it's certainly allowed, and we do need new players. Littlemanpoet or Nogrod should get on eventually and say something.

Good to hear that Groin!

One thing that has kept me away from this of late is the fact that the RPG is kind of changing hands soon - and in the discussion for that change no one has answered my last questions in a long time... *ermcougherm*.

So a few things are up in the air right at the moment.

But why not start the boosting here even if all the details are not quite worked out yet? The main things will remain anyhow like the main characters and the setting - and the last posts.

So what would you want to be Groin? Someone lord Eodwine has hired from Edoras to join him (with certain needed skills to establish a new Mead Hall) or someone just wandering around and seeing people making a settlement and wishing to join out of curiosity (or whatever reasons you come up with) or being just a passer-by who might then consider joining in the end? There's a host of possibilities...

But you're truly wellcome! And I hope and think we'll be having a few more new faces turning in soon as well to boost this story up once again.

That suggestion isn't far from what I had in mind. I was thinking that I could be someone brought to Mead Hall to help with the building a new one, but wether my character has a talent in building or is just a hired hand is something I'll have to think about.

Thanks again for you warm welcomes and I'll be ready to post whenever you need me.

All Players in the Mead Hall: (you, too, Groin Redbeard!)

I've opened up this thread (In Transition: Innkeeper) for your help/comments/suggestions about starting up the new version of the Rohan Mead Hall.

Please check into the thread and give the team your thoughts.

Thanks!

Everyone

Let's switch the discussion now of the ongoing game to the new thread for the Scarburg Meadhall.

Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread - HERE

Scarburg Meadhall game thread - HERE

I've transferred the last posts from 962 onward (dealing with the move to Scarburg) from the Eorling Mead Hall game thread to the new Scarburg game thread.

Thanks!
