Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

JennyHallu · 06-07-2006, 10:02 AM

Lovely. I'd like to think this is finally behind us. Onward and upward!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-07-2006, 10:33 AM

Very good.

On a different note, I don't see myself posting on the game thread in the next week or two. Apart from entertaining guests and several other things, I'm starting a new job and dealing with the looming death of my great grandmother. I hope Saeryn and Degas (or Farahil) aren't needed.

Jen, feel free to write Farahil, if you're comfortable with the idea of it. He was going to ask her to return for safety reasons and big brotherly ones, but you beat me to it.

Ye Impish One, feel free to write Saeryn. You know her well at this point. Degas... well... he's just Degas. We can save that Talk until I'm better able to participate in it.

JennyHallu · 06-07-2006, 10:36 AM

I think delaying the Talk between Degas and Lin until her return will make it all the hairier...especially if lmp and I are able to get some of my ideas for said return hammered out.

Something else for the back burner: At some point Eodwine is going to need to go an adventure to the Gap of Rohan and into Dunland, in search of his wife who he thinks may be alive. I'm thinking that this trip may involve Saeryn, and maybe Degas, and other characters that may or may not wish to go with. While Eodwine is gone, the Steward will be in charge of the Eorling Mead Hall. I will still be writing Falco, Garreth, and Harreld, but with Eodwine gone, that means Marenil is in charage. So, you see how important it is to me that you and I, Jenny, be able to work together. This won't happen for a little while yet, but when it does, I foresee Eodwine being gone for what could be months.

JennyHallu · 06-07-2006, 06:39 PM

But that's not going to happen for a little while now, so let's not count chickens. I'm sure things will be perfectly fine long before then. I am serious: I have no problems with you, or trust issues. It's something you've got to figure out for yourself. We'll just take our time and see where things take us.

Relax. Just explaining why it was important to me. Now who's lecturing whom?

Seriously, it's all good. We're fine. On with the show!

Oh! And I've decided upon a new by-law. You all need to have fun. I demand it.

HARRAH!! Hand shakes all around with a huge grin on my face. Don't ask why, I like shaking people's hands when I'm happy.

Cheers to Jenny and Elempi!!

We'll have fun, don't worry! So long as things don't get tight in real life and in the discussion threads.

Yes, sir.

Proceeding to have fun coming up with Garstan the stoneshaper's reply.

It will be up tomorrow. Too late for me to write anything good now.

Glad to see the problems are resolved. I'll join in the hand shakes.

And quick notice - I'm going to half of the festivities for my little sister's high school graduation after all, so I'll be gone all day and night Friday. 10 hours of driving are involved.

So I'll definitely get my reply up before I go. Don't want to hold up the action here.

littlemanpoet · 06-14-2006, 02:17 PM

I will be on vacation from June 15 through June 20. I'll have computer access now and then.

Anguirel, do you want to have Manawyth respond to Eodwine, or should we just move on, figuring that Manawyth 'gets it'?

littlemanpoet · 06-14-2006, 09:16 PM

I've edited my last post to open things up for anyone. It is lunch time and the Hall has been reorganized for food and drink. Be merry! Feel free to move the time along toward late afternoon; just remember, we need to give Noggy and Lommy a chance to introduce themselves before the court day is done; perhaps their patience can be tried and they are the last ones to be welcomed as the sun is about to set...? Just an idea.....

That is just fine. We've had busy time modding our WWJ-game, but have already thought of a couple of things happening on the yard, so we can wait for you to finish the proceedings and have fun at the yard. And if you are serving food and drink, you might see one small hungry kid around there too...

Folwren · 06-20-2006, 09:01 PM

I'm very sorry. That last post was way out of place. I neglected to read Elempi's post right before it.

I've taken it down and now understand that Thornden is not wandering around with nothing to do but sitting in court again.

Folwren · 06-21-2006, 02:38 PM

I really dislike double posting, but I've done it here and in the Golden Perch now. . .

I have two things to say about what I just posted in the Mead Hall:

1. I've no idea which grains are planted in early spring. I stuck in oats because I like oats, but I don't know if that's quite right. If someone else knows better about what is planted in the spring, then let me know and I'll go back and change it.

2. Elempi, I used Eodwine and made up that case to make it interesting. If you don't like what Eodwine said or did, then I can change it, of course. If you're completely appalled with it, I can take it out. If you have a decision that you want him to make immediately, I can edit it, or you can go ahead and write it yourself, or let me write it for later in the day, or whatever.

That's all, folks.

Wheat or spelt would sound more right, but I'm not a farmer myself either, so I'm not sure if you should trust me here...

And just to make an announcement. I'll be away until Sunday at least - and Lommy will be having scarce net-time on the following two-three weeks. I hope she can post our characters conversing before she goes (she has that post somewhat ready)...

And just to avoid any confusion: Cnebba, who seems to be the fastest of us is our common character - so we both will write for him.
