The site does have a resident parody RPG (and an excellent one at that!) but perhaps we paupers, villeins, serfs, proletariat, commoners, peasants, waifs, vagabonds, impecunious, desititute, and impoverished Downers require a mock game of our own, to some degree...unless the almighty mods say or think otherwise. As always, we remain in the thrall of their benevolence.

There is hardly a thrall of the mods, Kransha. Rather a dearth of game proposals from gamers who have not yet run the gauntlet into Gondor.

Are you hedging any bets, Helen? I would think the more likely place for such an Inn would be Gondor, rather than Mirth, where the inimitable Rimbaud could employ his wit and judgement to ensure that the barbs fly true to wit.

I mean, there already are two Inns in Rohan ...

*Starts up a chant* Fight, fight, fight, fight...

Er, yeah.

Great idea, Mark.

Now, who to pick a fight with? *glances around shiftily*

Firefoot's eyes blazed, and the Barrowdowners murmured angrily, and closed in, advancing their spears.

I will admit that Gondor shimmers as a possibility... Rimbaud permitting.

In the Quiz Room a pair of quizzers frequently have bouts firing trivia back and forth trying to outwit the other, espcially when they happen to be online at the same time and it starts going really fast. I can see these dueling duos deciding to "take it outside" or to this potential Inn, rather.

Perhaps it would be better to have our 'field of honor' actually outside thus avoiding unnecessary injury to innocent and not so innocent bystanders. Unless of course, your ‘seconds’ are to run along the lines of roast fowl and strong wine!

Oh, I'd be keen on finding out the result of the Aragorn vs. Faramir exchange, though I would not place any bets. I do have my principles!
