Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Geez. I'd rather not see this thing crash and half the writers leave because they're frustrated. I don't have anything to add to the current issue at the moment except to ask everyone not to get mad, and most of all, don't just throw up your hands in annoyance and leave. Not posting on the game thread is not going to solve any problems, and I propose that if people keep posting, everything will be worked out...if not for the good of the characters in the story, at least for our benefit.

Elempi, if you'd like to know, when you first left, there was a discussion about whether or not we should just remove Eodwine permanently (i.e. kill him off). But the hope that you may someday return could not be gotten rid of by all of us older players, and that is why we wrote him off as sick and shipped him off to Minas Tirith. He could return, if necessary...but after a while, if the game had progressed much longer in game time, he probably would have ended up dead.

It has only been six months since you returned. It took us nearly a year to draw to an end the day on which you announced you'd be leaving. It's not going to take us that long to finish this day. That is, not if everyone puts effort into it.

I'm certainly not *mad.* People have more reason to be mad at me I'm sure.

Durelin, quoting myself in post # 2659 from October 13,2010:

Quote:

Plans? It appears from my scanning of the thread since I went on my little adventure, is that there is a new eorl at Scarburg by the will of the king of the eorlingas. Eodwine will of course obey the king's will. He will also be willing to remain at Scarburg if the new eorl will have him.

I made my intentions clear about Eodwine from the get-go.

Never mind, Legate. You didn't mean anything hurtful. It just felt that way.

I had forgotten that I mentioned the idea of backdating already back in October, and the timing was discussed back then, thus the idea was dropped because it didn't seem feasible. I'll wait.

Good. I'm glad no one is cranky. I was really worried there for a minute.

We'll get this done. Really, we will, and it'll all be great.

Okay. I seem to have a "march-madness" of my own with the school every year. I'm very sorry I haven't have time to delve into this of late. But it should get better now. If no one is willing to move things forwards I can do it in a day or two.
