Nice post, Gróin. I was hoping you didn't mind me putting words in Lithor's mouth.

So now I have to come up with a speech for Eodwine? Yeah, I was expecting that... - I'll have it done soon....

Gróin, is Rowenna the only female on the entire list?!? I would have thought that other women would want to be in the three legged race, at least, not to mention the task path...

Assume Leodhern will talk Degas into doing the three-legged race with her.

No. There are several of the women somewhere on the list - and almost all of thim on the three-legged race.

Folwren is right. Lithor just disapproved of Rowenna competing in such a "manly" sport, which women don't usually do. I personally have no problem's with it.

Kara definitely wants to be in the three-legged race, probably won't worry about any of the others.

Thanks. I deflect all praise to Folwren: she initiated it, and she wrote all the best parts.

Have you any ideas how we should write the games? I mean if everyone writes their personal viewpoint to every game - possibly a few posts even - we will still be writing these games on 2009...

But if it's fun then why not?

And if it feels at some point they take too much room we can always skip a few or write them in a more streamlined way then.

So maybe we just start writing them all the participants just going for it and possibly having some discussion about the general outcome or possible events within the race either here or by PM?


PS. Just agreeing with all the others: great post Foley & Fea!

Good point, Nogrod. We could set a deadline for everyone to post for the games, and then decide who won in this thread. PM'ing everyone about the games is also a good idea.
