ATM II Planning/Discussion Thread

[the guy who be short]

*Poke*

Language, Fea?

May I also ask about this ban on obscenity. We can still do romance, can't we?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Ah yes, thanks for reminding me. Language issues: remember that Gondorians speak Westron. No non-Middle Earth language used by them or there will be Consequences.

There were more details to it, but in my preoccupation, I've forgotten. TGWBS, could you please clarify the language issue for the good people, since I suspect that my first paragraph doesn't make sense?

Obscenity: I'm not fully aware of the extent to which this ban implies, but the rule I want everyone to go by is "If you wouldn't want your ten-year-old sister reading it, don't post it."

Romance is very much allowed, but keep it tasteful and "in the spirit of Tolkien."

Well, if I unwittingly have one of the Gondorians slipping up in one of my posts, I hope you'll just ask me to edit and not assign them to Mordor.

What if, hypothetically speaking, I'd happily corrupt the mind of my hypothetical ten-year-old-sister with all manner of hypothetical obsceneties? *innocent, sweet smile*

I won't post anything I wouldn't dare to post anywhere else in the forum.

What, no chance of putting the Travest-O-Metre to work? (For those not familiar, the T-O-M was created by Squatter of Amon Rudh for use in measuring the the level of outrageousness in REB posts.) Well it's a good thing Skittles is too insane to fall in love. Unless Nilp agrees to cameo, of course.

Absolute cheese in romance is still allowed, though, I hope. Or else LMP's and my plans will be disarranged for one cameo subplot...

It's entirely tasteful, so long as one is fond of cheddar.

[Diamond18]

I do believe that cheesey romance is more in the spirit of Tolkien than any other variety.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Because the King's Law and the Dweomer are currently so unpredictable, not all mistakes will have immediate consequences. Also, no characters will be faced with Consequences due to somebody else's posting (though they may if they respond in a manner unfitting a Gondorian).

Basically it translates to: this is so up to my whim that it's not even funny.



And I very much look forward to watching Anakron's cheesy romance, ergo everyone should have fun with looooove stories. As long as they fit with your characters.

And Diamond, should the Travest-O-Metre be used (yes, I'm familiar with it) or should my humble little game ever be otherwise placed upon the level of REB, I am quite sure that I will sort of... well, die of shock and happiness.

I added more history to Mardil's bio. I typed it fast, so just let me know if some things don't make sense.

I'm hoping I'll have the time tomorrow or the day after to do a write-up on why Mardil sent the particular ambassadors that he did, so I would ask my ambassadors not to talk about their Mardil related dynamics until after that post is made.
