Er?

We HAVE a subplot?

It seemed to me like we were just making things up as we go...

Mind you, I was starting to develop some plans for talking to the locals... but they can wait for another time. (*Gets plans for that as well*) Maybe TGWBS or Boromir have a subplot in mind right now... but I'm just drifting.

Never mind sub-plot: We have a plot? We're just making things up as we go.

As shown quite perfectly in my latest post.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-22-2006, 05:20 PM

There is indeed a plot.

Basic plot being: ambassadors negotiating peace between the countries.

By sub-plots I merely mean any agendas that you guys have that don't directly relate to your characters (meaning the diplomats themselves) behaving in such a way as to... oh, I don't know... stem off a huge war wherein everybody dies.

Thanks for the refresher. I was just kidding about "no plot".

I know that, too.

Hookbill, I think you left your siggie in one of your later posts...

Note: Hyarmenwe does not speak English. The couple will have to be Sindarin-speakers, which seems unlikely in Mordor.

Anguirel · 06-26-2006, 09:58 AM

Not that unlikely-I thought the couple were Gondorian ex-pats.

My save is filled in...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-26-2006, 09:58 AM

I have no issue at all with the young couple being multi-lingual. That was probably the only thing about them uncanonical enough to get them assigned.

He does, however, speak Westron- which presumably remains the Lingua Franca of Western Middle-Earth- albeit with a heavy "English" vocabulary in Mordor...

Been gone all day, and I'll be gone again soon enough... may not post too soon.

Guy: Tgwbs? Hee hee! Clever. Tugwubs.

Diamond18 · 06-28-2006, 08:42 PM

Only, it's not Tugwubs, it's T'Gwibs or Tigwibs. Or at least, to me.

By the way, I'm accepting suggestions on why Skittles should try to talk Roggie into restarting the negotiations. Because blimey if I know. If anything it seems she should be arguing for a war so that she can continue to be the Chief War Advisor.

I guess we (meaning Anakron and Panakeia's keepers) are sort of improvisational just now. But we do have a basic sketch. We just don't know the details of how we're getting there.

Anyway, save filled. It'll be interesting to improv out of this one, considering our ultimate plan.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-23-2006, 05:50 AM

Save filled. Smilog goes crazy and stuff. A mysterious figure seems to have taken control of Mount Zoom. I haven’t expanded upon this in case Fea has a plan in place. My plan is that they enter the Crack of DOOM again and fall down a trap door and end up in some random part of the casino.

Kath · 06-23-2006, 08:24 AM

I'm fine with having things wrapped up. Monday will be my last exam and so after that I am absolutely free to participate in this properly.
