Well I've got a few moments before I'm supposed to leave to go downtown and set up in the hotel room so I'll say a few things.

Earendil, there were a total of 7 posts that were added during your absence. I can't believe that that is too much for you to read. However, my responsibility remains and I will summarize it for you if necessary. However, I do suggest that you go back and read everything such as second character bios, and watch assignments from the discussion thread.

Do you realize that in the time it took you to type that, that you could have gotten a good start on reading the posts on the RPG thread you've missed? It's not that offering a summary would impinge upon my time, it's that as a player who has not posted on the RPG thread since February 8th probably has missed more than just the 7 posts written during his absence. Hmm.... Unless you have been studiously following along, then, my apologies.

Nuranar, Durelin and I spoke via PM and I think that we discussed something along the lines of coastal villages sending out defensive ships to Doran's Rapscallion. It wasn't very clear in the post but I'm almost sure that this is what she meant, just to help a little with the clarity.

Thanks Maika

Happy St Patricks day, everyone!

Nuranar · 03-17-2004, 11:39 PM

Ah, Maika, now I remember something on the discussion thread some time ago about Doran attacking coastal villages while waiting for Devon & Co. I suppose I've just been fixated on our own battle to the point of exclusion.

Anyway, Calnan's 'tween-battles post is up. I won't presume to comment on the quality of it, after what happened last time I did.

Well, I'll be back Sunday! I'm off to spend the next four days in the 1860s.

Carry on!

I've got a track meet, so I'm going to be lazy and put up a Save for my in-between post. Should be up in full in the morning.

Really? Most awesome. What battle's have you been in? I've only done little things like the Battle of Port Hudson, was amazingly fun though. If only I lived in Virginia...

Earendil Halfelven · 03-18-2004, 02:40 PM

Port Hudson? You are talking about the one in Louisiana? I was there last year at the 2003 reenactment. I was in the zouave regiment-the 105th NY.

maikafanawen · 03-18-2004, 07:33 PM

Earendil, obviously you have some new ideas about what you want to happen in the RPG that contrast with the original outline. It was mentioned that The Might of Realge would pick Graring up and we have the individual battles laid out all ready. Why don't you send me a PM and we'll work this out. For the time being, though, we'll have to pass by your most recent post and continue with the original plan. It was a nice post though.

Have fun on your trip Nuranar and good post!

And the save is fine Arvedui.

I'm going to move this along faster as soon as I can think clearly enough to write a good post leading us into the next battle. Sound good? Right

Ta!

Earendil Halfelven · 03-18-2004, 10:40 PM

Well, I'm sorry that I couldn't remember every single, little detail. I guess since it was "mentioned," I especially should've remembered that the Might of Realge was going to pick up Graring. Woops. Let me correct my mistake and discard my "new ideas" about what I want to happen. Silly me.

Himaran · 03-19-2004, 06:16 PM

Graring was picked up by the Realge. All is good in the world.

Arvedui III · 03-19-2004, 07:50 PM

I filled in the save as well. Though if all his truly right in the world now, I cannot guess.

Dude! Awesome! I didn't go last year, but I was there a couple of years ago. But given the fact that I can't acutally own any of the equipment I use, I was just taking pictures. Mostly, I get to actually do stuff at the Battle of New Orleans and for school and stuff. *sighs*

Himaran · 04-30-2004, 02:48 PM

Maika: Thanks for clearing up the plot. I've been waiting to find out what happens!

Ok, Jurex is standing by. I'll try to get a post in for Graring, too. Perhaps he will die in the ensuing battle.

maikafanawen · 05-04-2004, 05:21 PM

All right, I am NOT going to write this RPG myself. If someone doesn't post on the thread soon by Friday at the latest and people don't start showing some interest in it we'll just close it prematurely. My last post was a while ago--we really should have ended this last month but I thought that the end might be exciting enough to get everyone fired back up about it. I do not intend to keep this in the Shire forever.

Nuranar · 05-05-2004, 07:25 AM

As soon as I get a couple of meetings over with this morning, I'll write a post to move us along. I'll take us as far as I can without making a ridiculously long post. So hang on - I'll be on there as soon as I can. And I'm sorry.

Earendil Halfelven · 05-05-2004, 02:20 PM

Sorry that I haven't posted. I'm at school posting because my internet is down AGAIN and has been for the past few days! I thought the server was just down but it turns out that I got hit by that Sasser worm. Everytime I try to start up the internet, this little box pops up and says that I have one minute until the computer restarts. It even comes equipped with a complimentary timer counting down from one minute! I have downloaded the program to get rid of it today so I should be able to either post today or tomorrow if it works out. Sorry

Durelin · 05-05-2004, 05:59 PM

I also ask for your forgiveness.

I have posted, and am hoping that it is alright. I got an idea (with a bit of inspiration from one of my favorite sea-faring movies). Finally, I am trying to bring about some subplot on the Rapscallion. A bit late, and without any former consent from yourself, so, of course, I am ready to rework the post if it is not to your liking. The good thing about this sort of subplot is that it is something that can be worked with and expanded, or it can be left as is. I do believe, though, that the restlessness of the crew is inevitable, and will at the least be a factor in the final battle.

Sorry again, Maika!
