Treachery of Men Discussion/Planning Thread

[Anguirel]

Oh yeah, was so relieved didn't read Folwren's post properly. You can have Lachy, m'dear, with my best wishes. I'd like to maintain my Ulfings for the present, though. I will say if I'm sinking still further into inactivity.

You're all wonderful. Kiss kiss.

Excellent! But mind yourself, fellow! I've no desire to be kissed by anyone but my husband.

Oh blimey I wasn't expecting Tathren to actually negotiate himself - they would make mincemeat of the hapless youngling - more give observers account of what his master was up to... and for me generally to devote more time to this.

Of course far more satisfactory if Lachrandir can be played properly . If Elempi can't or won't maybe Aman might be approached - she may have more time post A-Levels or Envinyatar or Formendacil?

Ang .... We will miss your writing but you are dealing with things out of your control why should we condemn.... must be horrible to have so much upheaval at once. Just do what you have to do and get back to us when you can.

And I'll have Folwren's kiss Well as Galadriel briefly to Ang's Celeborn, it is my right ..if one is taking it so seriously ( what kind of kiss are you imagining, Foley?!!) a kiss is just a kiss....

*mwa mwa mwa* (bisoux)

Any sort of kiss, from a gentleman, would not be acceptable to me. Save maybe one on the hand. However, I doubt that's what you or Ang had in mind.

But what would you care for my kiss? Unless I am sadly mistaken (and unless I have remained sadly mistaken for a very long time), you are a girl, aren't you?

Ahem...back on track. Yes. Uldor would most certainly make very small mincemeat of your young, inexperienced Tathren if he had to carry on with Lachrandir.

Has Aman been around very much lately? I have not seen her. I think any of those that you mentioned would be fine. My only fears would be their lack of posting, for I don't know if any of them are around often. I could be mistaken, though. Let's wait to see if Elempi can do it.

Really Folwren, shame on you. For someone who generally seems to try to see the best in people you have managed to put the most unpleasant spin on something quite sweet and innocent. I also strongly advise you never to visit France where bisous

http://french.about.com/library/weekly/aa051801f.htm

is a part of social interraction. Having lived there for two years I have kissed both genders regardless of their marital status or indeed sexual orientation and do not regard it as a stain on my character. I have not yet met the handsome prince but I have certainly kissed a lot of Frogs!!

Once I got over the "In England we shake hands froideur" and the anxiety over which side to start and when to stop (the proper number depends on region) I found this warmer gesture rather delightful. And in my book it is the mark of a gentleman that he removes his spectacles first. A hand kiss can be enchanting if done properly with a bow a click of the heels and the merest suggestion of contact... http://sprezzatura.editthispage.com/kiss , although strictly speaking this like tiaras are the preserve of married woman. The film style hand kiss that is more of an arm lick is deeply sleazy.

Even in my reserved homeland a kiss is a usual greeting among some of my friends and family, often a single kiss combined with a half hug - not the mwah mwah air kiss of more pretentious circles. And with others a kiss is a common expression of hard to express emotions ..... kisses will be exchanged at weddings, births, deaths, sickbeds, on receiving presents, even with those with whom it is not a routine greeting. A world without these signs of affection, appreciation, comfort, condolence or congratulation would be colder and bleaker.

Of such a genre I took Ang's kisses to be and the kiss I claimed was the one of his you rejected... I did not wish for one from you personally and given that I am just about old enough to be his mother it would be inapropriate and rather sordid to claim anything other than a social kiss from him. I have the greatest affection for Anguirel.. but really.. the Galadriel / Celeborn thing was a jest , not a statement of cradle-snatching intent.

As for my suggestions for alternatives should LMP be unavailable, they may well be busy with other things but the fact that both are primarily RPG posters but not currently involved with RPGs gave the possibility that non-posting generally didn't automatically mean they were too busy..if that at least makes sense...

[Folwren]

I am most apologetic, then. I did not mean to imply any such thing as what you think I meant to imply.

Thank you. I have no intention of visiting France.

You're pardoned, of course, for what you said (as is Anguirel). I took no offense by anything, you do understand I hope. I was just...extracting myself from being included in the formatilites.

I'm all confused when I shoudln't be. Oh well.

Yes, your final paragraph made sense, about players being busy or not.

My suggestion would be to wait for a response from Imp and cross our fingers. I'd love to see Aman or one of the others involved. However, Aman hasn't participated in an RPG for a year and a half and was unable to continue as the Green Dragon Innkeeper because of constraints of time. Envinyatar's last involvement was nine months ago when he posted in the Golden Perch. So, although there's always a possibility, I don't think we can count on these two at least.

There is another complication to throw into the pot. I've hesitated to say this publicly, since it was intended to be a mysterious plot twist. However, with the problems with posters we're now encountering, I thought others should be aware. According to our original planning for this game (plans made with Ang, Durelin, and Lalaith), my character is not long for this world () and is shortly expected to hit the dust. I was then supposed to pull out of the game. This early demise was connectd with the whole theme of "spying" that's been introduced at the Borim banquet. While there's been no specific time set for this event, I was thinking in terms of the hunt, which should come up shortly.

I would not want to scrap this idea since everything Khandr's done in this story has been leading up to this. But it does give us one less character and one less poster (namely me!) unless I scramble over to handle someone/something else. Are there other people needed beyond the head Elf?

Well I have to say I found what you actually said rather offensive even if that was not your intent.

But then I do not see anything that needs pardoning in my own words.

I am really not sure I want to be here anymore.
