I've taken mine back, Groin.

Oh, err...I mean Crabannan has taken his horse back.

I think I'm having identity issues. RL has never been one of my strong points.

Gwathagor · 09-12-2008, 02:28 PM

Well, thanks, Nogrod. I like him, too.

Wow, I can't even put a sentence together.

Folwren · 09-21-2008, 08:35 PM

I have no problem with doing the three legged race next, but after such a long run, won't half of our contestants be worn out? I suggest we do archery next, as it does not take speed.

But...if the archery range is somewhere far away from where they are now, and this is the running ground, then it would be most logical if they just let people get their breath back and then ran the three legged race.

Folwren · 09-26-2008, 12:12 PM

Hey, all...I was kind of hoping to post today or tomorrow or Sunday or sometime soon, but we had an unexpected arrival last night. I have a new baby nephew, 7 weeks earlier than expected, and although I won't be seeing him for a while (he's in the hospital two hours away), I will be having to help my Mom and possibly my sister-in-law as we watch my older nephew and we try to juggle things. When I'm not cleaning or running after the munchkin or doing something like that, I'll probably have to study. So...I'm sorry...but that's the scoop.

Putting family first again.

Ridiculous.

What...has this been a pattern for me? Or are you refering to people in general?

Gwathagor · 09-27-2008, 09:02 AM

Just society in general.

littlemanpoet · 10-01-2008, 09:35 AM

I need to know the pairings for the three legged race.

Degas/Leodhern
Eodwine/Rowenna

Who else?

Kath · 10-01-2008, 09:36 AM

Kara/Erbrand

Folwren · 10-01-2008, 02:36 PM

Can Saeryn and Ginna run together, and then Javan and Wilcred be partners?

Groin Redbeard · 10-01-2008, 02:37 PM

Thanks Kath!

I'm going to see if I can get a post in for Erbrand later tonight, sorry for not being so active lately. I hope I haven't killed the RPG with my last post!

Kath · 10-01-2008, 02:57 PM

Actually I was just thinking that Kara never replied to Erbrand did she? She is definitely still willing to run with him and is looking forward to it. If you want to put that in your post then please go ahead.

Garstan/Stigend
Garmund/Cnebba

I had some preliminary thoughts on them in my post #874

Cnebba and Garmund will be an interesting pair. They are agile and if they get it right they might be the ones to beat! But there should be something like a roll for their succeeding to co-operate. I'm not talking so much a mental thing as that I think they could do at the moment of competition but a physical one - like if they get the rhythm and understand it, that they are able to pull it off together.

Also the fact of fathers running against their sons might open nice possibilities: like daddies letting the kids win them at the last meters if there was such a situation; the kids trying to take advantage of their fathers' possible fumble

It's up to you lmp as those are just few possibilities among many.

littlemanpoet · 10-02-2008, 09:42 AM

Okay, so far that's:

Degas/Léoðern
Eodwine/Rowenna
Kara/Erbrand
Garstan/Stigend
Garmund/Cnebba
Saeryn/Ginna
Javan/Wilcred

This is shaping up into an interesting race (fun and funny too).

Noggie, is Garmund the leader between he and Cnebba, being older?

Definitely.

Does one have leaders in three-legged races?

Well if there is to be a leader then Garmund it is. Also Stigend would insist Garstan is the leader in their pair as he is both older and lived longer in the MH. Garstan would naturally argue back that Stigend should be the leader as he has been left with the responsibility of all the buildingwork while Eodwine is away... But finally S has two points and G only one...

Groin Redbeard · 09-12-2008, 04:44 PM

Yay, you got a post up, Gwathagor, and I agree with Nogrod it was masterfully done.

I'll get mine up soon!

Groin Redbeard · 09-14-2008, 04:29 PM

Is Javan participating in the boys run? I didn't see him on the list, but I just wanted to make sure that Folwren hadn't changed her mind.

Folwren · 09-14-2008, 06:24 PM

Oh...yeah...I guess I never really officially said that, but you all convinced me and a few posts ago I gave Elempi a description of him.

littlemanpoet · 09-16-2008, 06:00 PM

When I was a kid I raced against a compactly built but somewhat short boy. That means muscles. He was fastest in our class and could outrun kids older than him as well as taller. However, compactly built kids aren't as good at longer distances. You'll see.

There needs to be refreshments between the races. So anybody who wants to post next, have Eodwine, Wilcred, or Lithor call for a break for refreshments for all.

I already have the next race set, but I have to write it up. Let's see some other posts before I do that. Nice posts, Foley & Groin!

Groin Redbeard · 09-19-2008, 10:23 AM

Great post you did there LMP!

I was so excited, I never knew Erband had it in him.

Since we are almost done with the races, what do you think should come next? Should we do some fun sports, like the task path or dagger throwing, or should we start the weapon fighting? Personally I think that there should be a small break after the racing if we start with the staff fight, sword dueling, ext.
