Friends of Nimrodel: Tapestry of Dreams - Discussion - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

littlemanpoet · 10-11-2004, 02:11 PM

I'd like to propose that we set up a time to get together on YIM, to do the confrontation post between Amroth and Tharonwe. My idea is that we could actually collaborate and build the post, giving as many characters as seem appropriate, some kind of action and thoughts, all in one post. The real reason I want to do this is because I think there's going to be a lot of back and forth dialogue between Tharonwe and Amroth, and I'd rather not take 12 posts to complete one confrontational conversation!

I'm thinking that anybody who wants to be involved, could join this, and that time and day discussion should be based on GMT, if we're interested in actually doing this. What do you think?

Imladris · 10-11-2004, 02:22 PM

Do you spose that I'd be needed?

And when are the women going to be meet their dooms? When should I do the post for Gwyll?

lmp-- i love the idea.

I think as many of us who can, should be there, and jump in as needed-- this is actually a chance to do one of the old-style "Chat-Role-Playing-Games--Dialog between charactesr becomes live and real-time. While In general, the BD frowns on it, this is an exception, will be edited prior to finally posting the results, will open a crucial plot-item up to everybody's participation, and I think can make the final product superb.

ANyone that doesn't have a yahoo ID, they are (a) free, (b) Easy to get, and (c) you don't **Have** to install Yahoo Chat; there is a web-version you can use that will allow you to join in (at least I'm pretty sure about that. We can look further into it.)

littlemanpoet · 10-11-2004, 03:21 PM

Yes, I/we want you to participate, Immy!

Immy can do it 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. GMT, but on Thursday.

I can do it 10 p.m. to 12 midnight GMT, any day this week.

mark12_30 · 10-11-2004, 04:09 PM

If I'm east coast, I add five hours to get GMT?

Nurumaiel · 10-11-2004, 05:21 PM

Helen, I do believe it would be -5 hours. But don't go on my word for authority! If it's +5 hours it would be awful to get on around 10 pm GMT, would it not? Those wee sma' hours.

Seeing as most are available around 10 p.m. GMT, I'll say I'm free then, too, from then to whenever it's over or I'm pressed to leave. Except Saturdays... I'm free at 10 p.m. GMT on Saturdays, but only for a little while.

But I don't have YIM. Where can I get it, or will I need to install it at all?

I don't know if I'd be absolutely necessary for the confrontation, but I want to spy on you anyway.

Thanks, Nuru!

If you are an owner or a member of a yahoo group, then you already have an ID.

One place for info is this:

http://messenger.yahoo.com/?i=1
and click on "New to Instant Messenger". That tells you all about the installed version.

I would use the Web Messenger instead of the installed version if I did not have a good firewall at home (I do, so I use the regular one.)

The web one is more limiting, but you can use it especially for a planned time & meeting, it should work. Go here http://messenger.yahoo.com/?i=1 , scroll down to the bottom of the page and choose "Launch Web Messenger".

You'll have to add our screen names to your buddy list. Mine is in my profile, as is immy's; I don't know about lmp.

Okay.

10PM to 2AM GMT
10 to 12 PM GMT

I went into options and set my own time to GMT. My Watch says almost eleven AM. The GMT clock says 2:52 PM, or almost 3 PM. So I add four hours to my own time to get GMT...

So I subtract four hours from GMT times to get my time...
So lmp's time is 6 to 8 Boston-time any evening
Immy is 6 to 10 Boston Thursday...
I think I can agree to that. Sounds like thursday so far?
