I agree with LMP. Boromir or Finduilas are needed to get the PM post started, since both seem to be busy we can do as LMP says and go with either option.

I hate to have people waiting still to post, I feel bad as a game owner to let the story go stale when we have yet to begin. I can if it is wanted put a post together having us carry forward and if others want to help such as Kitanna, Lommy aor LMP,(whoever has time soon) I or we can continue in some fashion to get us progressing.

If everyone can please get a vote in for what we should do quickly, we can get this resolved with some speed.

I am terribly sorry, not busy per se, but to top off my not so good week I got hit with a winter blast, it knocked out the power and I've been trying to shovel my driveway out so I can get to work tomorrow. But I have sent the PM post to Valier...finally.

Edit:

Guess I should say that I was pretty sure Peony, Mira, and Rudy were all cousins...right? And the trio is not related to Bunny or Tansy, but I assumed Mira knew Tansy since she wanted to go see her. Sorry if I got confused with who's related to who, and how everyone's connected. If any bit of it's wrong you know what to do.

I vote for a "telling" post. I assume that the PM post can be inserted wherever appropriate. Next question would be, if there is agreement, "what happens next?"

Boro, you have it right that the three are cousins, all grandkids of Gaffer Hugo. And Tansy and Bunny are friends, not relation. At least not close relation. Although Hobbits being Hobbits, they may be fifth cousins twice or thrice removed, for all we know.

Finduilas · 12-17-2007, 09:46 AM

I would really suggest not doing a telling post for Mira, Rudy, and Hugo's entering the adventure. For now, this is their most important part of the story, and will be for probably our next five posts. If we could just do two PM posts, at most, which hopefully won't take more than this week, I think we could get pretty far.

Of course, it would work the other way, but I think that way would be best.

littlemanpoet · 12-17-2007, 10:41 AM

Actually, I agree. The telling part would be, it seems to me, advancing the story from everybody having met up to traveling north to the Stonebow Bridge (where the Great East Road crosses the Brandywine).

But maybe it would be best not to rush stuff, and ask for some patience. Arg.

Thinlómien · 12-17-2007, 11:15 AM

My vote is going to be an extremely unhelpful

++do whatever seems best

Because I really don't know.

I will be around 'til Christmas (even though I'm afraid I will be very busy so I can't write anything long) but then I will be more or less away 'til early January.

I can help in putting together something that moves this forward, that way those who haven't had the chance to post much can get something in.

I'm pretty free this week and next week and well into January I will be doing nothing with my time until classes start again. So, for a few weeks I can help push things forward if need be.

Valier · 12-17-2007, 10:12 PM

Ok I've got Boro's post.I will have it done by tomorrow. I am going to pull Peony and Tansy aside and chat a bit with them about the trip, then I will end it with Bunny and Tansy heading back to Tansy's to get ready (Bunny wants to leave early the next morning) I think then I can just post the post with just Boro and My posts. Unless Lommy you want me to send it to you while we are chatting and you can have us head back to your house. Whichever is fine by me.

Finduilas if you could start a pm post with Kitanna having you approach her after Tansy and Bunny leave about the trip, you can even send it to Boro and/or LMP and they can add the bits to bring you all into an agreement of leaving together the next morning.Then someone can post that. once we get all that done we can get Gwathagor into it as Bunny and Tansy get to Tansy's, and I/ we can bring us to the next day and have us all meet somewhere.

Can everyone do this?

I can do that. I will, of course, need to see your post first.

littlemanpoet · 12-18-2007, 11:03 AM

Happy to receive a PM post if it is deemed appropriate.

Valier · 12-18-2007, 09:11 PM

I have posted. Let me know if this works.

If anything needs to be changed or added just let me know.
Finduilas does that work at the end for you? That should leave it open for Kitanna and you and LMP and/or Boro to get what is needed posted to get you all involved. Once you have that up we can get us to Tansy's via Gwathagor posting us arriving or Lommy or Myself getting us there.

Gwathagor · 12-19-2007, 01:01 AM

I'll post next, so Brown can be at the house before Tansy and Bunny get back. I would post right now, but I am doing some studying.

I hope it hasn't been a problem that I haven't posted very recently. I've been working on a large research paper that has been sucking up most of my creativity points.
