Don't expect me to change my avy

Allright I have not read all the details yet, but from what Legate told me and what I have glanced upon this game look fairly enjoyable and as such a good one to chose for a comeback.

However I do reserve the right to back out if the start of the game ends up coliding whith a big paper. . .University is what have kept me away from WW for all these months and how long and lonely they have been in my cold barrow.

Anyways I shall be Galadriel!

Oh yeah and here is my prediction of how I am going to play:

I am going to end up in a figh with Noggy, trust Lommy way too much, agree with everything Ka says, get slightly annoyed with Gil-Galad and use all my might to get Menel lynched. . . and of course be very confused about the rest of you.

Great! Welcome, Rune! I added you on the list. Oh, and, changing avvies of course is just players' initiative and it's optional: and actually in your case, as we know Galadriel was adored by Gimli, now, if she had a beard, who knows, maybe he'd have liked her even more...

I agree with Lommy that you Legate should wait untilt the Passover is over...

But not longer.

Maybe you should start the game on Monday or even Sunday evening if it's the Night phase we start with.

I might try to persuade some people still if I'd know whom you have already teased with this.

*~*

Nice to see you in WW again Rune! And I can see where your predictions come from! But c'mon, who can disagree or suspect the old Tom?

That's fine with me, but we could have one more option. Legate spoke about choosing us choosing the ring beerer, and this would be a perfect time to start debating which one of us it should be. Just a little something to fill in the time. What do you think?

Besides, everytime I see yours I think of Alan Lee, which cheers up my day.

Rune's playing?! Awesome! I've only played with him once, and sadly it wasn't for long because of a family emergency.

Oh but come now, everyone ends up trying to lynch Menel for some wholly subconscious but apparently reasonable factor. I have yet to figure this out, for now, I think its just style. I'm probably missing something amazingly obvious, but my brain is fried from finals.

I thought you knew me enough to know everything that comes out of my mouth is complete and utter nonesense.

Thankfully the avatar shouts out Gil. If anyone could instill the feeling of an overconfident, satirical and wholly consumed-in-himself Gandalf, its probably him.

I dunno how well I'm going to pull Raddie off, but hopefully the lack of actual in-character material available will give some creative license.

That is fine with me, I have the next week off for spring break and some history studying. Yay! I'll finally be able to say something worthwhile.

Well, I guess it depends on how in-character we are willing to be. Considering a few of us in our assumed roles would more likely toss the ring into a ditch, feed it to birds by accident, or forget about it somewhere whilst in mid-chorus.

I do. . .that is why I am most likely to agree with you.

True, true. Though, it is fortunate enough being a wolf sometimes because no one then sees any warning in nonesense.
I might be killed off anyways, but eh, I'm only about having fun.

You though, you are going to be quite tricky. It's been awhile, and I have no clue what new scheme you're going to pull. Hmmm...

Well, I (of course) considered being Galadriel– I shouldn't even have needed to change my avatar– but then I thought, nah, Saruman would never let her in the Fellowship.

So, how do you suppose you'll handle proximity to the Ring over such a long period?

I think this needs considering. I'll give you my thoughts in a moment.

Well, that was more than a moment (stupid RL, always getting in the way).

The people I have highlighted must on no account be permitted to carry the Ring:

Gildor Inglorion
Uglúk –Do I have to explain this one?
Tom Bombadil"And if he were given the Ring, he would soon forget it, or most likely throw it away."
Elrohir
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins –With her fondness for pilfering small, shiny objects? I think not.
Elladan
Dáin II. Ironfoot
Théodred
Éomer
Halbarad
Radagast
Gandalf –In his own words: "With that power I should have power too great and terrible. And over me the Ring would gain a power still more great and more deadly (...) The wish to wield it would be too great for my strength."
Galadriel –In her own words: "In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen (...) All shall love me and despair!"
