What did you expect, Gil, after all the Legolas-droolers that have taken over the BD chat? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

You realize, Gil, that you have destroyed my character with your latest post. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I was hoping to maintain my ruse for a bit, but now Micanar is cracking for real. It is going to take a bit longer to post again as I reconsider the next moves...

Anarya doesn't have a tragic history or an attitude! She's just an innocent adolescent elf girl who makes arrows [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Ummm, I was wondering where I could join. I was looking at a few of the RPGs, and seems that you've closed it to new members. I'd love to try things out, and actually have some RP experiance, just not Tolkien. Thanks for putting up with me. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Mayla Took 04-03-2002 05:46 PM

QuickSlash, your always welcome to intercept me on the road to Dale or anytime you like! But if you feel more at ease in Mirkwood, than just jump in there! Have fun!

Genandra of Mirkwood 04-04-2002 08:20 AM

Re Legolas-droolers...well, I was enamored with elves when Orlando Bloom was in grade school. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] We do have a very female cast it seems- just means the guys will have to write a bit more. Just curious, is it kosher to have one person writing two characters??

Please! No more new players after this post! Anyone who has posted so far can join, just jump in on the MIRKWOOD RPG post and start writing.
Does this mean I can join, since I posted before you posted this post.
If I can, does somebody want to find my character talking to himself in the woods (the orcs torture left him a little unhinged).

Thalionyulma 04-05-2002 05:02 AM

Ohh shucks Gil,
isn't there a saying "the more the merrier", right? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Of course its just going to be next to impossible trying to control all the "going-ons". Not to mention editing all this stuff - but hey! Don't you just love a challenge? (bwahahahah!) [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Just a suggestion: how about if the new characters side with Micanar? I was thinking of making an additional character - a nemesis of sorts (an orc, most probably) to my character Rûdhchamion. I don't seem to see any around... would that be permissable?

I'll post more info on this char. next time - I got to research more on orcs. Er, that is if its alright with you.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

LúthienTinúviel 04-06-2002 04:16 PM

Ok, Smeagol. I'll (Tinuiel) find you. I need to do some walking and thinking after overhearing that conference.

Thalionyulma 04-07-2002 04:55 AM

cheeto,
i know your character Novannon is Anarya's friend, but how does she look like?

Genandra,
aawwww, i thought you felt sorry for the "Wild One"...
sorry Sauche thought she would be helping... hehehehe *chuckles mischievously* [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

i'd always thought hobbits were free from tragedies, most of the time... i'm now both troubled and intrigued

What happened to Rinurion and Lhunaglar????

Genandra of Mirkwood 04-07-2002 11:34 AM

Wanted to give a bit more time in case a daring rescue was afoot.

Anarya SilverBranch 04-07-2002 11:59 AM

Thalionyulma,
Whose supposed to be in the woods anyway? I played along with it but I'm still clueless.

Nuranar 04-07-2002 02:55 PM

Gilthalion,

I am grieved that I only lately have discovered the RPGs. I have no experience in RPG, but I do have writing experience, and I think I'd enjoy this. Is there any possiblity I can join? If not on the Mirkwood one, what should I do?

I see what you mean about having too many elven women/girls. It is rather unrealistic, is it not? Hmm...Although I'd rather be an elf, I can be...a hobbit? Mayla's character perhaps could use some companionship. I don't really know, that was just off the top of my head...I would say I'd like to help in any way I can, I'm not sure if I can handle writing a male character...at least not yet. However if that's what you need (and it appears it is) give me the go-ahead and I'll take my best shot at it.

Either way, it's been a pleasure and I really enjoyed reading what's up so far. Keep up the good work, everyone!

Mayla Took 04-07-2002 04:19 PM

Nuranar, welcome! I don't mind having another character in the RPG (but of course it is not my call)! I am supposed to link of with Dwarin Thunderhammer and his Dwarf wife in Dale and work it out from there. By the way, Dwarin, are you still alive? Anyway, I would be happy to have you along if you don't want to be in Mirkwood. I left an opening for an Elf encouter on the way to Dale if you want to step in there. What ever you want, I just want to let you know that your welcome with me as I am sure you are with everyone else here! I will posting again soon. Good luck!

Thalionyulma 04-08-2002 01:49 AM

Anarya,
actually, i was trying to make an opening for the other elf-lads (perhaps a patrol-with Lhunaglar or even Rinurion, might join in, seems they might be busy elsewhere) to join us. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
but Novannon mentioned "mortal" - so i guess we aren't as close to the "city" as i thought, that threw me off, that's for sure, hahahaha [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] . wonder how would they (men) have gotten through all those patrols?

let's just continue and go with the flow, ladies - as Gilthalion would say...

**Young Anarya, notice how Tinuiel seems to hold your arrows in high esteem?** [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]


Gil, you're going to have a dandy time editing all this! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

[ April 08, 2002: Message edited by: Thalionyulma ]

Serenide 04-08-2002 06:59 AM

i would also like to be in this too...
im Serenide and im a silvan elf, im quite young (295 years old), my parents were from mirkwood but they left when i was born, ive never set foot in mirkwood since i was 5 years old...i have redish-black hair, i am on the short side and im more of a tomboy than an elven-maiden...my weapons are a bow and arrows, and 2 silver daggers on my boots.
i would really appreciate it if you tell me when to start posting.

Gilthalion 04-08-2002 12:39 PM

Serenide Sorry! Full up on elf-girls at the moment.

Nuranar I hate to make exceptions, but we might edit you in as a middle-aged hobbit woman, a nurse-maid who looks after Mayla Took.

This RPG is moving along with a lot of subplots. I have no idea who these mysterious hooded mortals are. I'm going to allow it, because it looks good. But please, try not to introduce new subplots without some communication with me.

As for editing, most of that will take place when we convert the RPG to a Fan Fic.

"Time! Time!" cried Bilbo. That's exactly what I need more of, too! I'll try to make more for this RPG. I confess that I am surprised (and a little pleased) at all of the folk who want to take part. But there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

Please! Now this time I really mean it! NO MORE NEW CHARACTERS!

Anarya SilverBranch 04-08-2002 01:53 PM

So this is going to be like one of those other fan fics on the site from rpgs? Cool! I didn't know that [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

(I know, just call me a ditz and get it over with [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])

QuickSlash 04-09-2002 05:53 PM

That's what I was asking, if this is full, are any of the other RPGs still open? I saw that you didn't want new chars here, but I'd love to RP. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Sorry, don't mean to be a burden.

Mayla Took 04-09-2002 07:53 PM

I would love to share a writing pad with Nuranar. I am in the middle of my next post, sould I make some changes and just add her in or should we meet in Dale? What would you like Nuranar? And what is acceptable to you Gilthalion?

Nuranar 04-09-2002 08:23 PM

Mayla, I'm okay with whatever you want to do. I'm just going to be a companion on your journey, not a guiding character. How do you want to collaborate?

Gilthalion 04-09-2002 08:45 PM

Lets make changes and edit her in. Then let things work from there. I have no guidance on how you two should interact. Try to play it like hobbits from the Shire in over your heads. If you're not yet in too deep, you will be!

Thalionyulma 04-10-2002 01:57 AM

Gil,
sorry about the "mortals" lurking about, i kind of started it, but it wasn't meant to be a subplot... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] i said "a small group of elves, come out from the other side of the path..."- along the way they musta morphed into hooded mortals somehow! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] heheheh!

Hey gang! (namely, all the lovely elf maidens I've met so far in the woods),
I'm kind of getting bored so I've inserted a tiny scuffle with some "bad creatures", it shouldn't last long. Let's test our fighting skills... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

QuickSlash,
wish you'd have gotten in earlier [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Leighlei 04-10-2002 11:08 AM

Could someone hurry up and save me please? I feel like an idiot...I have no reason to post.

Anarya SilverBranch 04-10-2002 01:55 PM

I'm sorry Leighlei [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ! We are trying to get to the prison, but the bat things just came and stuff, but I promise we are going to get to that prison! We'll get you out just hang in there!!!
In the mean time it would be cool if you could start up a conversation with a fellow inmate or something so you don't feel so very idle.

Genandra of Mirkwood 04-11-2002 09:57 AM

Gilthalion- feel free to edit me out, if that would make room for new characters or men. And I'm editable at this point. I'll watch the action with bated breath but from the sidelines. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Mayla Took 04-11-2002 07:46 PM

Okaie dokie! Nuranar, just let me know what character name you want and I will edit you in ASAP. I have a couple of middterms and research papers I am working on, so I'm sorry if I am alittle slower than usual.

Nuranar 04-12-2002 12:48 PM

Mayla, no problem. You're not the only one with midterms and research papers! Poor us! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
As for my name...I was thinking Daffililly Bunce (I was playing with the name generator.) I am a minor character; should I offer comic relief, or should I be a genuine friend to you? I can do either. As a matter of fact, I'll just take my cue from the line you take when you edit me in. Thanks so much! Good luck!

Thalionyulma 04-13-2002 01:55 AM

That was fun! Let's do that again (er, later on in the story that is...)

We're on our way Leighlei/Sauche...

Leighlei 04-15-2002 01:59 PM

YAY!
~does a happy dance!!!~

Anarya SilverBranch 04-15-2002 05:46 PM

Nice-Smeagol, I just wanted to point this out to you but you keep spelling my name Anyara instead of Anarya. Just wanted to say something because you had done it twice and it was just sort of bugging me [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Mayla Took 04-15-2002 07:32 PM

Nuranar,if you are eager to get started on the RPG editing and story, please feel free to e-mail me with what you would like. You can even write up somthing for me to edit in! Just feel free to let me know!

Thalionyulma 04-16-2002 04:44 AM

alright! Rûdhchamion finally entering the halls... hope its not into a prison cell Sauche [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Leighlei 04-17-2002 06:07 AM

~squeals happily and leaps onto her rescuer, riding him like a pony.~ FINALLY! FREEDOM!

Anarya SilverBranch 04-17-2002 09:17 AM

Told you you'd get out soon! Sorry I wasn't there to see it [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
Tinuiel sent me with old Lets-go-kill-the-king
J.K Nice-Smeagol J.K [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

LúthienTinúviel 04-18-2002 04:55 PM

Hey, Leighli--I was thinking that maybe you'd drop your weapon and come with me. I was thinking I'd take both you and Thalionyulma before Thranduil together. I don't know if you want to fight the guards, but I think it'll be a little unconvincing if Thranduil decides not to kill you after that. Let me know what you want to do.

Thalionyulma--Do you mind the turn of events? I won't let Thranduil kill you or anything. I just figured that if you ever wanted to get inside the castle, you'd have to go through Thranduil.

Anarya, Novannon--Sorry I just sent you away. I figured we needed to split up. Feel free to join us again when you feel it's appropriate. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Maybe we should kill (I don't mean that literally [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) 3 birds with one stone and bring Mornovarion before Thranduil with Sauche and Rûdhchamion.

Oh sheesh. This is getting complicated. What do you guys want to do? Oh, and if you don't like anything I've posted about your characters, just let me know and I'll edit the post. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

~Lúthien

Thalionyulma 04-20-2002 06:17 AM

Tinuiel, its okay with me... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
how about you Leighlei? but a short scuffle i think is in order (please don't stay mad long at Rûdhchamion, Sauche!) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

i think its a good idea... we'll be on time for Thranduil's "marching orders".... should Gil remember that he said they'd be out soon. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm kind of wondering where the other guy-elves are though.... sheez what happened to Lhunaglar & Rinurion?

Leighlei 04-20-2002 07:08 AM

It's all good! Say you'll help me, thn attack me and knock me out or something...OU! You can do that and pretend to otake me to justice and crap just to help me escape. Or not. Wuteva! Tankies 4 asking!

Leighlei 04-20-2002 07:21 AM

Okay FYI I fixed my post just so theres no confusion...I dropped my weapon...Yo T you hit me or sumpin cuz Im doing a poor job of holding you hostage [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ... OKAY THEN!

[ April 20, 2002: Message edited by: Leighlei ]

[ April 20, 2002: Message edited by: Leighlei ]

LúthienTinúviel 04-20-2002 01:05 PM

Hit you? Ok...you asked for it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (I hope the T stood for Tinuiel and not Thalionyulma, but I guess the result would be the same anyway.

Hey Leighlei~ I left it open for you to wake. I need you to give me something to work with because as it is, I don't think Tinuiel would just disobey the laws of her country and let you escape. But if you can convince her that you're not evil, like Rûdhchamion did, then I know she'd be more than willing to put in a good word with you with Thranduil...speaking of whom..

Hmm...Hey Gil..you gonna step in as Thranduil, or do we have to write him in ourselves?

Oh, and I've had another brilliant idea. So, maybe not brilliant, but it's an idea. What if Tinuiel brings Sauche and Rûdhchamion before Thranduil (and Anarya, Novannon and Mornovarion conveniently show up at the same time [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]), then... Thranduil is angry at Tinuiel for breaking the law multiple times in favor of the three stranger. Oh, of course he'll be angry with Anarya and Novannon as well. But in Thranduil's wisdom (perhaps influenced by a good word put in for them by Tinuiel's friend, Legolas?) he decided that as punishment for all of them...and that's where Gil's orders come in. I don't know. I just thought that maybe the King would set us on the mission to prove our faith. What do you guys think?

[ April 20, 2002: Message edited by: LúthienTinúviel ]

Gilthalion 04-20-2002 09:12 PM

Bring the elf girl before the King, and you will see the justice of Thranduil!
