Admin Thread for WWXLV: The Fellowship of Saruman

[satansaloser2005]

Shoot. I just remembered that I have a meeting for my acting class tomorrow right before deadline, which means that I'll have little to no time to stop by during the rest of the day. The other people in my class will understand if I run a bit late, so I'll be able to drop by (Lord willing) and vote, but I won't be a big talker for the greater part of the day. Alternatively, I'll slip out during class and stick my vote in to ensure that I'll be able to participate. In any case, I need to get to bed; I'm getting a little loopy(ier). Good night all!


Oh, and post good? Post bad? It took me a while to rustle it up, but I don't know if it's what you're looking for, oh mod god Legate. Whatever suits you. *toddles off sleepily*

A new line would be well though if the speech is a long one. And the overall description of someone's moods should be in plain text as well unless it's an inner monologue?

Well yes, I think using the quotation marks for direct speech and italics for inner thoughts is a generally used way to express these things. It will surely help to make one's posts easier to read. And, also bolding each other's names (character names, that is) should be done as well, like in normal WW games - for easier orientation.

Although this game is connected with in-character posting, you don't need to worry about it that much. The main purpose is to have fun. But your post is very good, I'd say, so you don't have to worry about anything. Except, one little thing, Saruman is no longer around, so not sure if Théodred can glare at him still

Also, I'd appreciate it if people would make their characters say their suspicions aloud... it's a bit difficult to refer to or to quote people's personal thoughts, unless you're Galadriel, of course...

[Nerwen]

Good point– I didn't think of that until after my first post. (Still, surely the body language helped make things clearer?)

Okay, I'm reading toDay's posts after work but I just couldn't help commenting about this as soon as it caught my eye and as it's soo OOC I thought I need to do it here not to break the flow of the story.

You've done it Rune!!! Changing the avvie for the game!!!

I thought this day would never come!

Even more OOC to follow... *sorry* but our students leaving the school made and performed songs about us teachers something like a month ago. My song was called "The Marx of Kallio" (Kallio being the name of the part of the city our school is). And I thought it cool indeed.

Yeah. . .I did not plan to do it and it did feel weird indeed, but it simply seemed wrong to look at my own posts as Galadriel and having good old Marx staring back at me.

Yeah, actually, I found it rather interesting to see you with another avvie. And it's good: as long as the game lasts, you may keep it and the more you may enjoy switching it back once again when the game is over
