I think you're right, Thinlomien. I wouldn't like an abrupt, let's-get-this-over-with-as-soon-as-possible type of end to this game. I would find it a bit disappointing after all this time we've struggled with it. I think we could try to find a way to move things towards the type of end that you were suggesting and turn it into an interseting and good story as well-something that an abrupt ending would not do, and maybe that is why I'm oposed to it. So, I'm here, and still ready to see it through if the others are as well.

Well so far we've only found one warg. We could find out that there are a few more and begin to track them down either collectively or by smaller parties. I'm willing to finish this if we get a decent commitment from enough people.

Well, there's you, me, Groin and Dimturiel this far. I'm quite sure Finduilas and Dunwen too will be aboard as soon as they come back to this thread.

I'm not an autocrat by any means , but I think an active game owner would do good to this game. I think it would help if there was someone whose responsibility was to see this RPG being finished.
Pio, would it possible to name a new game owner to "co-own" the game with Firefoot and Durelin, who have disappeared?

Dunwen has just left Hobbiton.
Sorry to have been gone so long, spring is always busy for me in RL.

After thinking about the choices of just ending this RPG or properly finishing it, I would prefer the latter.

Here's my suggestion: As long as we're outside, I think we should examine the ground around Grimbeorn's body and find the warg tracks. At that point, it might be more logical to track them during the day, starting the next morning.

I'm not married to this idea, just thought it might start some discussion as to how this game can finish.

Thoughts?

Alright then, we'll go on with our characters and not rush this story to an ending, but we have to be a little more active.

I'll see if I can get a post in tomorrow.

It is, at least if you ask me. And it's so funny that it's after my post, it brings nice contrast to the reactions. Great.
