The way I see it is that there will be an initial challenge, "get away from the Lonely mountain" and the driver and assistant will discuss which way to go: North, South, East or West. This they can decide after each challenge they are set.

QUESTION: Will this Driver/Assistant discussion be on the thread? And, after the discussion is the Driver (or the Assistant) supposed to write it up rather RPesque?

Both can post if they wish. The Driver should be the 'leader', if thats the right word, and the assistant can... well... assist. This way they can have converse and have a much more amusing time... I would hope.
The driver and assistant should discuss the course of action in the thread itself. Here is an example.

*********

: There is a hole in the road!

assistant: Perhaps we could build a ramp?

: It'd need to be a bleeding big one. Perhaps we can send a message to Gwihir? He mau carry us.

assistant: I don't think they are strong enough.

********

And so on.

Oooh, I don't know. Not as much as a WW game. It's not THAT serious. I would like to see how long it takes people to get past the first obstacle and go from there. I'd hazard a guess at saying around 4 days for each challenge (considering time differences and all that jazz). No idea of how many challenges there will be. Nilp and I will discuss it. We shall see, is all.

The idea is to figure out a good way of going about the challenges. If you wish, you can plan your course of action via PM and make a more RP style post. Which would be preferable. The example above is a little short, but its just to give an idea. The discussions should be lengthy.

Caranlondien: you are now listed.

Thanks for the reply, Hookbill.

So, Spawn...

You like Minas Tirith, and you want to be an assistant. Want to be my Faramir?

(Provided, of course, that Nilp doesn't swear everlasting revenge on me... But he IS the moderator....)

[Glirdan]

Ooo!!! This sounds interesting!! I'm in! As for where I'd like to be...hmm...how about you choose for me...I can't decide....

[Valier]

I would like to be an assistant for someone. I have final exams soon so I will have somewhat limited time, but enough to converse and come up with some wacky plans.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Right, hopefully Nilp will be posting while I sleep. (Its getting dark round here)

But here is what I have so far:

Player

Caranlondien = ____ Passenger

Farael = Medel-zoom - Driver

Maeggaladiel = ________

Valier = Medel Zoom - passenger

Meneltarmacil = ________

Formendacil = Minas Taxi - Driver

Gurthang = ______ passenger

dancing spawn of ungoliant = Minas Taxi - passenger

[Valier]

So it looks like Farael you will be the driver and I am the passenger for Medel-zoom right? Do you care to be Eomer or a fair maiden?

[Glirdan]

I'll be a passenger in something if there's room.
