"Therian, you could take over the rôle?"

Pitchwife · 03-14-2011, 05:26 PM

Highly amusing posts, everybody (especially Boro and Mnemo)! What a sorry lot we are!

Also, Nerwen and phantom, I love how Brinn's sprained ankle leads to the Houses of Healing. (Wasn't Esty going to do a Ioreth cameo, by the way?)

If somebody else would like to look for a healer, feel free - I just felt it was time for Coldan to do something useful for a change instead of just moping about Asta and feeling sorry for himself.

(Afterthought: just realized that if we're going to bring in Ioreth here one way or the other, we should take Brinn to the HoH after all - the old woman won't be so mobile any more. What do you think? I can change the end of my post, if we decide to do that.)

Just a guilty notice that I am reading along regularly, but have mostly avoided posting because Amdír would have but a small part during rehearsal, and I'm conserving my energies. However, if we're still rehearsing this time tomorrow (March 15th), I could probably add something--but don't delay the action on my account.

EDIT: Actually, if you want Amdír to be the one who leads the way to the Houses of Healing, that would be quite appropriate--feel free to have him do that, and anything related.

Sorry about the posting delay--the site was down when I wanted to post last night.

This is a friendly reminder that those who said they could post every day for two weeks should be doing so.

The ultimate goal, after all, is to finish this RPG successfully, and at the rate it's going, it's going to run over the original deadline. I don't want this to run on so long that everyone's schedules change and no one can post.

Once Brinn is safely treated at the Houses we should be ready to bring the day to a close, and I hope that the more free-form "for the next few days, everyone gather as much accurate information as possible" will help speed up in-game time.

the phantom · 03-15-2011, 01:26 PM

All-righty- new post up! Read it and decide if we're sending Amdir.

Also, I've made some slight alterations to the role list here (the top list "ROLES IN THE WAR OF THE RING DRAMA"). It should be more complete and realistic now (many characters listed in multiple minor roles).

Mnemosyne · 03-15-2011, 02:59 PM

Fine by me, but we'll have to wait till Formendacil stops by and see what he does.

Yes! I'm back home from my trip and have just caught up with reading the game and discussion threads. Needless to say, I was delighted to see the above development. I am tremendously enjoying reading the excellent posts by all!

Now, who's going to go back to the healer's house and talk to Ioreth? I'll start thinking of how *helpful* and *accurate* her memories can be...

Mnemosyne · 03-20-2011, 04:59 PM

pio, didn't even realize it was edited out! And I'm sure as Shiretalk I've seen a few 'Downers slip a Big Big D which made it past.

I'll try to get up a response to Anguirel's post later this evening; unfortunately, I have a lot of other writing on my plate tonight, and this time it's for RL.

Nerwen · 03-20-2011, 05:24 PM

Just to make this clear about the censoring business: I wasn't saying, "bad Mnemo!", I was letting you know the word had been edited out automatically. The program evidently just has a list of words it checks for, regardless of context.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-20-2011, 05:52 PM

As a matter of some interest, I just made a list of the first fifteen or so 'bad' words off the top of my head, and only two were censored.

piosenniel · 03-20-2011, 06:27 PM

Anyone who can find a Tolkien canon use of a swear word should please PM me the reference.

See HERE for a ss

And, I wouldn't try using this word outside the RPG's in this forum. The other mods will not look kindly on it, I'm sure.
