YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED...

[Mithadan]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BARROW-DOWNS!

On May 1, 2003, the forums at the Barrow-Downs will reach the ripe old age of THREE! While the site itself is a bit older, the third anniversary of the opening of the forums is a cause to CELEBRATE!!!!! Therefore, we will have a PARTY in celebration of the third birthday (uh, death day?) of the Barrow-Downs forums and all members are invited!!!!!

This year’s party will include the presentation of the first Barrow-Downs Awards, known far and wide as the Downies. The celebration will begin with a red carpet entrance before guests enter the Grand Hall where the ceremonies will take place. Come in costume and in character assuming the proper flourishes and airs of the Barrow-Downs elite and don’t forget to strike a pose before the paparazzi; this may be your 15 minutes of fame. But remember, there may never again be so many Administrators, Moderators and Assistants assembled in one place at the same time again, so while the party will be fun and funny, don’t forget to maintain some slight sense of decorum.

PLACE: The Grand Hall of Minas Anor (the Gondor RPG forum in a thread to be opened there).

TIME: Thursday, May 1, 2003 beginning at 9:00am EDT until????

DRESS: Formal Middle Earth Wear.

There will be an open bar, and meals will served by our polite wait staff.

COME CELEBRATE THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE BARROW-WIGHT AND THE BARROW-DOWNS!

RSVP

[Gorwingel]

I would of course never miss a grand event such as this, so I will definitely be there smilies/biggrin.gif

Note: It kind of shocked me when I came on to the B-D's and I saw the same topic posted in every forum, I did not really know what do do or what was happening, but this is really cool smilies/cool.gif

[Eressië Ailin]

Yes, when I first saw the same topic in every forum I thought something was wrong. But this is a good attention-grabber!

* I've already RSVPed. Wouldn't miss it for the world!

My Mama always told me I'd be a star.

I will be there in an Elven gown and a star upon my brow. What a wonderful time!

[Beruthiel]

Oh dear, I'd love to come but the time difference won't work smilies/frown.gif smilies/frown.gif smilies/frown.gif
and I had the perfect dress and everything...
smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Lush]

I will be on hand.

I will also try valiantly to remain as on hand as possible throughout playing world traveller this summer.

If anyone wants to send me money for internet cafes, they are welcome to do so at their earliest convenience.

Otherwise, I can hardly wait.

[Durelin]

Am I allowed to come? I just got in trouble with the 'law' and...????

[mark12_30]

"Thank you, I shall most certainly come."

(Mayday!Mayday!)

[Ransom]

I'll certainly be there. Of course that means I might actually have to finish my homework ahead of time, but worse things could happen. smilies/smile.gif


Btw, what's EDT?

[ April 22, 2003: Message edited by: Ransom ]

[Mithadan]

Eastern Daylight Time. And for those concerned about time differences, last year's party lasted "several" weeks.

[Ithaeliel]

I will certainly be there! I remember the last one... oh, the nightmares I still have about it. This time I'll be a good girl; I promise! smilies/biggrin.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Many thanks for the invitation. I will most certainly be there. I will even polish my saucepans and kettles for the occasion. smilies/smile.gif

Oh, and can I bring my mirror-ball for the disco? smilies/cool.gif

Hm. I suppose I can make room in my schedule for the event. A little less singing with goldberry that evening. Will she be invited too? smilies/wink.gif

[Alatáriël Lossëhelin]

"Thank you, I shall certainly come!"

Wow, my first B-D party. I'll have to go shopping for a new outfit first thing tomorrow. smilies/cool.gif smilies/cool.gif

[Nuranar]

Aw, nuts! Whose bright idea was it to open the forum early in May? The anniversary would be during finals every year! I ask you!

But finals or no, I will be there! After watching what happened last year, I wouldn't miss it for the world - or, at least, for calculus. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Mhoram]

Dear, dear, the Barrow-Downs post-office will surely be snowed under. Voluntary assistant postmen will be needed, what with this constant stream of polite variations on
Thank you, I shall certainly come.

[MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie]

I will even polish my saucepans and kettles for the occasion.

Oh thank God The Saucepan Man! I thought I'd be the only one not in Middle-earth attire! Now first I was thinking of wearing my kilt, but now I might just some in my regular overalls with my rake. And if The Saucepan Man gets to bring a disco ball, I get to bring my rake smilies/wink.gif ! And Iarwain, you will be bringing your yellow boots, right? smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Gorwingel]

Is this how we RSVP is by posting under one of these topics? (I just want to make sure I RSVP correctly because I really want to come to this event, even though I never would think anyone would keep me out smilies/wink.gif)

[Amanaduial the archer]

Hurray! The Birthday Party at The Fields of Cormallen was great, but this is three years- even better!!! smilies/biggrin.gif

Yes, how do we RSVP?

[Mithadan]

how do we RSVP?


You just did. LOL.

Actually, no formal RSVP is needed.

[Ainaserkewen]

My first anniversity party, sigh...
But like I said in my personnals colume, what will I where?

[Helkahothion]

I just noticed it today, is it not too late I hope?

Thank you, I shall most certainly attend!

I will spend every spare minute at the Party! This will be wonderful! smilies/biggrin.gif

But, to repeat Ainaserkewen's question, what will I wear?

[ April 23, 2003: Message edited by: Sapphire_Flame ]

[Mattius]

Also, how long is it set to last??

[Mithadan]

Until it is done. We'll set a date for it to end, once we see how many people are interested in posting.

[Maikadilwen]

No need to RSVP?

Yay, party-crashing! What I do best. smilies/evil.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

I will try not to dance on the tables this time......

[ April 23, 2003: Message edited by: Maikadilwen ]

[Diamond18]

I comtemplated writing an impolite variation on "Thank you, I most certainly shall attend", but then my better judgement thwocked me over the head with a flambé trout, and I decided on a more orthodox répondez s'il vous plaît.

I'll wear the family jewels, and you can count the carats as the multifaceted sparkle blinds you. In short, look for me on the morning of the 3rd anniversary, I'll be wearing diamonds to this party!

[Helkahothion]

Oh goody, my first aneversary, I can't wait for the party. What do you think? Shall I wear a wizard cloack, just so I can make fun of Harry Potter? Or maybe, a dragon hide. That would be fun. Decisions, decisions.

Darn. Two things are happening on May the 1st for me. One is that I have school, two is, my grandfather is visiting, and I will probably only be able to hit the computers at lunch at school. Oh well. I shall do my best to attend.

[kittiewhirl1677]

Yeah, if this is to last several days, I'll be sure to attend cuz I'm litterally always on the computer.

Thanks for the invite! Maikadilwen and I are certain to make a statement in our matching black leathers...hers will be far more revealing of course! smilies/wink.gif And I understand you owe her a dance, Mithadan? Just don't get too cozy, ya here? smilies/evil.gif

[Gandalf_theGrey]

As it chances, the Barrow Downs Birthday Party is scheduled for precisely the right time! The Castle Maladil RPG that I was in charge of in Gondor being freshly ended, that tale will soon take its place in the fabled archives of Elvenhome. Meanwhile, I see the Party as a great place to meet new adventurers who might be interested in participating in any RPGs that I create in the future.

So of course I'll be there ... fireworks and all. smilies/smile.gif

Looking forward to the Barrow Downs festivities ...
while fondly looking backward to a certain virtual July picnic in Hobbiton ...
along with even more nostalgic memories of real in-person "ME2" get-togethers of the members of the Middle Earth computer bbs in days of old (also known as the late 1980's),

Gandalf the Grey

[Galadrie1]

Ohhh boy, another birthday party here on the 'Downs... I can't believe it's been a year already since that last one! I'll probably attend, though RPing isn't my strong point (*cough cough* the last birthday party *cough cough*).

[Ithaeliel]

Are we permitted to possibly reminisce?

Galadrie1: Remember the constant spinning and sleeping? And the spiked Dr. Pepper? Oh, me... smilies/biggrin.gif

Last year's birthday party was my first ever RPG. Now I look at my posts in there and think, "Who was this fool? She couldn't write worth a hill of beans!" It's amazing what this place has done for my writing.

[Eressië Ailin]

Well, I wasn't at the BD B-day party last year, but I was looking over the thread last night. I think everyone has improved their writing skills (not exactly sure how to word that)! I was reading one of Piosenniel's posts and I remember thinking, 'Pio? Was that you? Did you really type that?! Naw... it couldn't be...'

[*Varda*]

Ah, yes, even the Valar will show up for the party this year. I will be well behaved, of course *ahem*

I was skimming over the party thread from last year too, and yes, there is hope for us all smilies/smile.gif

[Carrûn]

Awyrgan will be there, probably slightly intoxicated and grumpy as ever.

[Durelin]

Well, okay then, I'm coming!

So, when you say 'come in character', I'm thinking you mean a roleplaying character, but I have been known to be wrong...once or twice... smilies/confused.gif

[Eressië Ailin]

Well, last year, most everyone came as themselves. Or at least their username. Here. (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=22&t=000015) Take a look at last year's party, or just wait for some one to come who was there.


To quote Marileangorifunimalium:
Having been transformed (in another thread) by Lush into an inch-high biting fairy,

Maril or Lush: Could either of you please find that thread?!?! I would very much like to see it!

Never mind. I found it using the nifty search engine. How do you know that Lush isn't a purple teletubbie? smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

I could vehemently deny the purple teletubbie associations, but why? If Mr. Fallwell is right, that one gets all the boys. smilies/wink.gif

That's not to say I will arrive wearing purple (not my colour!).

[Amanaduial the archer]

Awww! This is quite sweet- it would appear that several BDers have invited others as escorts/dates. Awww...

[Faenaduial]

A Happy Birthday B-D party! I can't wait. What to wear? Will there be dancing? smilies/wink.gif

[Galadrie1]

Oh NO, not a link to the last party! How embarassing.... smilies/rolleyes.gif Last year's birthday party was my first ever RPG. Now I look at my posts in there and think, "Who was this fool? She couldn't write worth a hill of beans!" It's amazing what this place has done for my writing. I know, same here.... Wow, that was bad. I didn't know what on earth I was doing. Aah! I wish I could go back in time and edit all my posts!

[Carlas]

Awww! This is quite sweet- it would appear that several BDers have invited others as escorts/dates. Awww...

Awwww, that is sweet! To bad I don't have one! smilies/rolleyes.gif

smilies/tongue.gif

[Amanaduial the archer]

Hey dont worry, lil hasty baby, Im sure theres plently o' folks out there whod say yes if you asked them. smilies/biggrin.gif

[VanimaEdhel]

I think I'll even create a new character to show up...Elf, of course...easiest to play. I think laying Menelduliniel and Estelarion to rest for a change would be nice. I can't promise that I'll be "there" all that much, but I can create a date for the new character. I'll be a nice Elf maiden...maybe of higher class for a change, I think. But I will create a character and wander in there at some point!

[Iarwain]

I should hope to find the time to polish my boots, Willie. And perhaps I'll bring along a bright blue jacket to match... This gives me an idea... Hehehe. smilies/smile.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/smile.gif

Running off to prepare,
Iarwain

[XPhial]

Count me in...I shall wear a dress of green to match the trees, the grass, and the X Files logo.

[Orald]

I haven't been out in a while, so I think I will try and attend. Currently, I am looking for a date to the award ceremony. So keep your options open ladies.

*Durelen(Orald) points to all the lovely females out there and winks* smilies/wink.gif

[Cuthalion]

smilies/eek.gif What an eye-opener last year's party was! Seems I have one of the most....uh, multi-talented? dates on the forum! Woohoo!

[Carlas]

:::smiles:::

smilies/tongue.gif

[Durelin]

Maybe I'll come as Raken and stab people and stuff. Or, I could just come as this new character I made up that isn't real screwed up in the head. Anyways...I think I'll wear this dress thing. It consists of a robe-like thing made of dark blue velvet with a 'v' neck and underneath is a white, sorta sparkly dress. And my hair'll just be really long and dirty-blonde. As it acutally is! But, I will not be me, so, anything my character does at the party should not be held against me...right? Oh, by the way, she will be wearing her dagger under her robe, so be polite... smilies/evil.gif

Oh, yeah, her name will be Rytien.

Like anyone cares.

[Merendis]

*Merendis notices Orald pointing to her and blushes*

Sorry ladies, he's mine for the night.

[The Saucepan Man]

In honour of this forthcoming great event Sergeant Saucepan's Barrow Downs Club Band has composed (read plagiarised smilies/wink.gif ) the following little ditty.

*Ahem*

(To the tune of Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite)

For the benefit of Mr Wight
There will be a party, right
On the Downs.

The Haunted Spirits will be there.
In formal Middle Earthy wear;
Elven gowns!

With Mods and Admins, food and drink,
Awards for the worthy few - a real treat;
In this way for its birthday we honour the Downs.

The worthy Mr Mithadan
Has called us all to come on down
To celebrate.

The Party-fiends will dance and sing
And snack on sautéed Balrog’s wing.
Don't be late!

Messrs B and M assure us all
That this party will be second to none
And, of course, Pan of Sauce dances the waltz.


*Hobbit jug-band instrumental*

The fun begins at dead on nine
When Mr M will give a sign
To start the rave.

And Boromir the Disco King;
Will strut and groove his funky thing
Do the wave!

It being some days in preparation.
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
On the night Mr Wight is topping the bill.

I'm assuming the, uh, mess from this party is the reason we're not having it at the BW's house again? *ahem* (The melting clocks were a real problem.) smilies/wink.gif

- Maril

[Amanaduial the archer]

That was a truly classy party! The event that got me into roleplaying! Possibly this time there will be less melting clocks, talking flying trouts and orlie-hating-dagger-wielding wights...

Saucepan man- *clapclapclapclapclap* Nicely done!

Hmmm....one thing I am a little confused about; awards?

Yes Maika. A nice ribbon or Scarfe arround your neck is always nice. What is that you say Mithadan? We have to be dressed and any naked person will be removed. Shucks.

*mutters something that reminds of the word Party Pooper.*

[Amanaduial the archer]

Hey, guessing weapons will be removed at the door, so youre gonna have to wear something. Helka, thats an order!

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Am I right in thinking it won't be as formal as "proper" RPG? I mean could I maybe take a character out of a current RPG without explaining how she got there? And will it have to be Tolkien-perfect on detail?

[Durelin]

YAY! My rating has gone up! Thankyou whoever rated me! smilies/biggrin.gif

Wait. So, people are taking dates. PLEASE! I thought I was getting away from that here in this world of dead things! smilies/eek.gif Why? Why do you do this to me?

Oh, gosh, Helka! PLEASE! SPARE US!

Anyone want to go with me? That way you can take over my character if you choose to do so whilst I am having nervous breakdowns in real life. Clothing? Eh, okay. If you insist (which you do), I will wear clothing.

So: any takers on being my date?

[the real findorfin]

WOW!

Fin, the elf-flirt will be there in his finest, hopefully with several females on each arm (plz PM me ladies {isnt Fin such a damn annoying flirt, and so confident, i hates him})

Anyway, I will try and get in early, and be seen on the red carpet.

Maika...for the sake of my sanity....skin-tight leather would be excellent...remember, love...I don't share the view! smilies/wink.gif Especially with Helka around....

[The Saucepan Man]

Are you going to sing it at the party? I can play on paper and comb to accompany you!!

Thank you, Eruanna. smilies/smile.gif I think that a reprise may be in order. Or possibly, Sergeant Saucy's Barrow Downs Club Band will come up with something new for the occasion.

I hope that it's OK, but the Saucepan Man will be attending as himself, pans 'n kettles 'n all. He has made special arrangements for the Land of Middle Earth to be at the top of the Faraway Tree that day. smilies/cool.gif

Unfortunately, mundane matters such as work may prevent his arrival until the evening. smilies/frown.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Oooh, Lovely tune, Sergeant Saucy! Waiting to hear more smilies/smile.gif

More pressing than the matter of what Sophia shall wear, is who shall Sophia be? (I've never felt this schizo in my life!) Perhaps Sophia's debut as Sophia...?

And aaaw dang, I've got a final at 10 (eastern). Blast *snaps fingers and modifies imagined party* Sophia arrives fashionably late. smilies/tongue.gif

Ai! such fun... *vanishes into a corner, dizzy from spinning*

I could always come as my hobbit alter-ego, Poppy..I kinda miss her now Castle Maladil's over smilies/frown.gif

Nakedness isn't allowed? *pouts* And yes, I don't think Lousewart Chastitybelt would approve of the goings on at a BD party...

All the more reason to drag her along. smilies/evil.gif

[Durelin]

Heck, I'm forgeting the dress, she'll just wear 'men's clothing'. Then she'll be like me! *mutters*I hate dresses...

Anyway...will there actually be fireworks? I heard a rumor...of course it was from Helka, so...

Fin, the elf-flirt will be there in his finest, hopefully with several females on each arm

I'll be one of those females, if it is alright with you, Fin?

And skin-tight leather, Cuthalion? Have you ever read "The Sword of Truth" series? Well, if not, search online for the words "Mord-Sith"...well, technically one hyphenated word.

And I've decided to come up with a new character for this: Lanthiriel will be her name, and you'll here more about her later on.

But remember, there may never again be so many Administrators, Moderators and Assistants assembled in one place at the same time again, so while the party will be fun and funny, don’t forget to maintain some slight sense of decorum.

Quick reminder ^^^^

And I promise to practice what I'm preaching as well.

[Mithadan]

In response to Findorfin's query, the Downies will be awarded by presenters based upon general instructions from the Admins/Mods, etc. Only admins/mods can authorize awards. No "informal" awards can be given. This is so that no one is insulted or has hard feelings.

BTW, all or nearly all of the Downies will be tongue in cheek.

Arriving in cars, eh? No way that beats riding up on a well tacked-out horse with Maika in my arms! smilies/cool.gif

[Lyra Greenleaf]

What about my question? Sniff- no partner and everyone's ignoring me. Fine, I'm going to PM Mithadan, even though I'm sure he's insanely busy.

[gilraën]

That's great news, a BD party. I wouldn't miss it smilies/biggrin.gif

[Helkahothion]

No way that beats riding up on a well tacked-out horse with Maika in my arms!

Well, riding on a horse witht he beautifull Amanaduial the Archer shure as hell beats that. And ill put up a fistfight with anyone who disagrees. What is that you say Aman? No fighting allowed on the party?*pouts*

Hey just asking, is their going to be an award for "BDer who keeps messing up treads with off-topic posts"? I can shure give that one a go. Or maybe ehm *couch cough Durelin couch couch*

Was that too obvious? Anyway, are the catogories of the awards already out in the public or will they be kept secret untill the end of the party. And how long is that party going to last anyway? Not one day I hope, that will be far to short. I'd say a week till a month. Why spend so short time on such a happy even right?

[Mithadan]

The party will not take place at any specific time or age in Middle Earth. It will mix Middle Earth and modern technology. You may come in character, any character, or as yourself. "Dates" are definitely not rquired.

[Eressië Ailin]

I still don't know what I'm going to wear!!! That super-dress was a little strange for me... smilies/wink.gif

[Maikadilwen]

If you don't know what to wear, just remember the golden rule that works everywhere... "Less is more!" smilies/wink.gif smilies/tongue.gif smilies/evil.gif

[Cuthalion]

Amen to THAT! smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Amanaduial the archer]

Hey, Helka, this elf rides a horse of her own, thankyou!!!

Gilraen, that is an incredible smiley!

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Yay! Ellie the hyperactive Hobbit will be there then! I'd take Mara, but too many people might end up dead...

[Mithadan]

As an example of the style and tone which should be used, as well as the setting for the solemn occaision which is the Barrow-Downs' Third Birthday Party and Downie Awards, please see the post which has been made under the same name in the Gondor Forum.

[the phantom]

I think I'll come in my rock star outfit. Form fitting boot cut, low rise jeans, a tight white t-shirt, a black leather jacket, and messed up, spiky hair.

And does anyone have a menu I could look at? I'm hoping for malt beer, roaring fires, and meat off the bone. (there's a dwarf in all of us) smilies/smile.gif

"Dates" are definitely not rquired.
Well, I should hope not. The only way to go to a social event is stag. If you have a date, then you're not really free to flirt with, dance with, and make out with all the other beautiful women at the party, which is the second biggest reason for going (the food is first).

So, any ladies out there want to agree to not go with me, but just have a dance or two (and maybe a quick make out session if the dance goes well)? smilies/wink.gif

By the way, how does the seating work? Is it one long table, several smaller tables, or what?

Either way, I just hope I end up seated next to someone interesting.

[Helkahothion]

Now, now Maika and Cuthalion. Please remember that this is a family site. (yeah right. I should say). Keep the talks within MSN screens. Don't worry Aman. I will personlay bring you home. 12 'o clock ofcourse, or your father will skin me alive. If I wanna come in for a cup of coffee? Well this IS a family site Aman. smilies/wink.gif

[Amanaduial the archer]

If you have a date, then you're not really free to flirt Oh, you wanna bet on that one? smilies/evil.gif

[*Varda*]

Out of interest, anyone else going as a hobbit? So far I feel like the odd one out. Ah well, nothing wrong with different, but I suspect Poppy would feel a little small in a roomful of elves.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Why create a character when I can come as my own crazy self? Unless everyone was hoping Lousewart Chastitybelt would show up...

Mrs Lousewart Chastitybelt has in fact been invited. We have not yet seen the RSVP as yet however. Given the grand gold ink, she may just accept.

Dr Marileangorifurnimaluim will be in attendance, taking notes and *ahem* studying the social customs of Middle Earth. It is rare to find such an interspecies event, to observe hobbits, elves, dwarves and men (not mention various dragon, et cetera, et cetera) interacting, I am certain it shall prove a most illuminating evening.

I must admit, I do hope Mrs Chastitybelt does make an appearance. I'm writing a new paper, and her input would be most appreciated.

[Trippo The Hippo]

does anyone know if hippos are allowed perhaps sauron had a hidden army of hippos if his orcs had failed if not i suppose i just have to go as some hobbit the size and intelligence of a hippo well keep me possted i cant wait

[ April 28, 2003: Message edited by: Trippo The Hippo ]

[Diamond18]

I think she just may be persuaded to accompany me. smilies/wink.gif

I will also probably be bringing my RPG character Pimpiowyn, a half-hobbit who is *cough* involved with an Elf (who happens to be currently employed by Mith for his dance ensemble, it would seem). That should give the good Doctor something to write about, eh? Unfortunately, Poppy may still be a little intimidated by Pimpi, as the latter is half-human, and due to an incident with magic beans, is 6 feet tall. But perhaps they'll find someting in common regardless...?

Lousewart, on the other hand, is a full-blooded hobbit and unassumingly short, but unfortunately has an austere nature not given to revelry or fraternization. Great fun shall be had by all on her account, I am sure.

Hmmm. It says something when instead of a date, I'm bringing the Secretary of the Garden Club to a party with me.

[the phantom]

If you have a date, then you're not really free to flirt
Oh, you wanna bet on that one? smilies/evil.gif
Well, of course you CAN, but it's not particularly a nice thing to do (and it can get you in big trouble, and sometimes it can even get you a hand shaped welt on your face). smilies/biggrin.gif

Phantom, that sounds like you speak from personal experience... smilies/biggrin.gif
Not exactly. I saw it happen to my older cousin though, and he told me how to avoid it. Either 1. don't have a date, or 2. be charming enough that you can get away with anything. I'd like to think it's possible that I could pull off option 2, but since I'm a fairly nice guy, I wouldn't try it.
*Mithadan prepares a large bullseye and tapes it to The Phantom's back, then passes out bows and quivers full of arrows to the Mods.
So, I can assume you guys will have your mouse on the "kill member" icon in case we get out of hand at the party, eh? smilies/biggrin.gif (don't worry about me though, I'm not known as a trouble maker- I'm just all talk and no bite)

Helka...I do believe I know how to comport myself with dignity so as not emabarrass and/or discourage the lovely one at my side. While she knows she is free to enjoy herself with whomsoever she chooses...(she does intend to track Mith down and dance with him).... smilies/wink.gif She will be riding home with me! And furthermore she wanted to ride with me! Yay me! smilies/biggrin.gif

[the real findorfin]

Talking of table arrangements, I think it would be great if there were loads of small tables (say 10 people on each), then we could sit in groups like really parties do sometimes. However, thats just my opinion.

What does everyone think?

[Cuthalion]

Great idea! I know every few of the people here even though my first "death-day" approaches. I've been told by a certain person I need to mingle more.

[the real findorfin]

Exactly, we can all mingle, its not like Fin has many escorts, LOL.

Cuthalion, you must mingle, get drunk and flirt, Fin will help you (god hes so annoyingly good at it, i hate him)

[Diamond18]

Mingling, eh? Why do I think your idea of mingling looks something like...

Fin: Dump ur girlfriend!

Fin: Your girl friend doesn't like you, no one does!

Me: not listening

Fin: joker, FLIRTER

Oh dear, it looks like Fin has been hurt. but don't worry ladies, with expensive surgery he should be OK.

Hello Carchmoroth,

*draws his sword and knife*

You just tell your little rats that if they come within a radious of 2 feet of me or Amanaduial, that I will personaly cut of their reproductive Organs feed it to the fish and then cut them open and hang them as decoration from their intestants. And if you attack one of the guests, I will stick my arm in your mouth, place my fingres in your lungs and slowly pull you inside out.

You have a nice party too, you savage Warg. Dirty slime eating low bellied... what is that Aman? No bad language. Okay sorry.

Helka, dude...digging that grave a little deep, arent you?

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Dr Marileangorifurnimaluim scribbles notes wildly, cursing that she only thought to bring one scroll of parchment, and that half-gone, too. Confound it! I'll have to bring a backpack to the party.

Observations: Mating behaviour is already underway, prior to party. There appears to be greater inter-species concourse than originally suspected - subjects appear to know each other -

Possible refutation of Earensebrimbor's theory of inter-species incompatibility? First Age theory may not apply to Fourth Age politics, possible descrease in Elven population bringing about greater --

Wargs?

There are Wargs coming to this party?

Possible indicators of stress-induced interspecies interaction, may negate value of study -

Note to self - bring parchment. Ask Mr Ironlegs for loan of magical artefact. Stop by bank, withdraw funds for 'loan' of magical artefact. Research past studies on stress-induced relationships (re. 'Beren and Luthien: the Elvish View') to account for 'Warg factor.' Ask Mithadan if any dragons are likely to attend.

A discussion thread has been opened in Gondor which includes a very slim outline of events, a request for volunteers, and the Party Rules. YES THERE ARE RULES.

[Annunfuiniel]

p.s. looking forward to discussing with you, Annunfuiniel!
Oh yes, I think we'll have a lot of things to discuss, Schmendrick. smilies/smile.gif At what time were you planning to make your entry at the party scene?
Btw. I would second Maika's suggestion: a charming lady-wizard sounds interesting! She would most certainly be a character which Annunfuiniel, Mistress of Annúminas, would be interested to meet. This Lady of Dark Sunset is planning to wear a ruby-red evening gown and decorate her almost black hair with red gems.
Ok, now you'll recognise me when I enter in (I believe I'll be one of the first to arrive). smilies/smile.gif
Oh Helkaaaa...? If I remember correctly you talked something about owing me and that you'd do anything for me? Well, I'm afraid the "pay-back time" has come. smilies/wink.gif Annunfuiniel is an untiring dancer so hope you're wearing good dance shoes...

[Schmendrick]

Well, it's decided then - a lady-wizard it'll be! smilies/smile.gif Now I'll just have to start thinking about my/her dress...maybe the color of the sea (everchanging)?
And Annunfuiniel - I believe I'll be among the first guests, too.
p.s. Hippo - love your nick! smilies/smile.gif

Dr. Maril,

What with all this i-s concourse going on, there has to be some form of population control . . . so, yes, the Wargs will be there . . .

*Aman pales as she sees the warg leader. Contemplates patting Carchmoroth, just for the hell of it, then decides she is rather attached to her friend* 'Scuse me, I have some urgent business...over...here....

[Child of the 7th Age]

Let's see. There are folk bringing wargs and hippos bringing folk. That means I can bring something/someone too. My husband Maura is regretably detained in Mirkwood fighting the nasty Orcs. So Cami indeed needs an escort.

I've decided to bring a very old and very large friend. Very large indeed! It's been some time since we've shared each other's company.

Just let those wargs come over to bother me! They'll get a little surprise.

Cami

Large, Cami? . . . or small?! and will there be riddles?

Helka dear, you haven't answered my invitation to dance (check previous page)... Well, actually that doesn't matter 'cause you really can't say no to me. smilies/evil.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Child of the 7th Age]

Regarding my escort.....

Helka,

The hippo indeed sounds very nice, but he's not my "type" as a steady escort. Then again,I might enjoy a dance with hippo.

Pio,

Ah, nostalgia time....If you recall, this is actually a birthday celebration for this particular creature.

She came crawling out of Mith's backpack last year. Then, again, this creature is several thousand years old. Perhaps, she's reborn every so often, just like the phoenix? Or pehaps she's a contradiction, just like lots of other things in LotR?

Me: I am going.
You: Ok.

ARGH! I completely forgot to RSVP before! But still, better late than never, I suppose. If it's not too late, I would like to come!

[Mithadan]

Just come on by

Excuse me, but I never got to finish catching up on the last of the posts in the Awards thread, or even the Discussion thread, which would probably cast some light onto the basics of what has just happened (apart from the obvious closing of the thread). Could you tell me where they are currently situated, please?

Cheers,

They have been closed and sent to Elvenhome! smilies/biggrin.gif

I don't suppose you could either disillusion me by telling me that Elvenhome is nowhere in the BDs, or else direct me towards Elvenhome?

Please?

Bekah,

It's in the Roleplaying section just below Gondor.

Thanks Nuru.

God bless you.
