Tears of Mirrormere Discussion Thread

[Thinlómien]

It's been very quiet for a month and I'm not going to be around much during the holidays. So let's say I will be back in mid-January to kick some action into this RPG. Until then, Merry Christmas everybody and feel free to either have a pause from this RPG or surprise me with a flood of action.

Hi people!

My busy period ended up being longer than I expected. Anyway, I'm back to life now, and I DEFINITELY want this RPG to continue.

So, over the next week or so, I will go through info from LotR and me and Groin's old plans and constitute a sort of storyline for this game, and I shall keep it short. I can post it (excluding possible surprise elements ) so you'll get a clearer idea of what will happen soon. Anyway, I'd love to get this RPG beautifully finished by summer, but as that seems utopistic, my realistic schedule is at the latest by winter. But I will this time make sure we are proceeding at a regular speed and that we can really finish this (I will finish this alone if needs be).

Then I will write a post to get us moving, and by moving I mean really moving.

We need to make some arrangements though, since Groin seems to have left the 'downs without telling me anything personally or making any wishes about the future of this RPG and his characters. I will take over Trór, and do my best to write him in Groin's spirit. Legate, would you like to take Náli and take care of him as either a proper character or a carry-along one? If someone's interest in writing Nîsa, be my guest.

**GROIN IF YOU SEE THIS AND ARE COMING BACK AFTER ALL OR HAVE AN OPINION ON SOMETHING, PLEASE PM ME**

Of course, if Groin comes back, I'm willing to give up my sovereignity on this RPG and share leadership with him once again and give him his characters back (provided they're still alive).

I will also PM the inactive writers with the faint hope someone might come back.

Those whom I count on to come back and write are Legate, Foley, Kitanna, Durelin, Dimturiel and possibly Gwathagor.

Anyone out there for giving me a pleasant surprise by reappearing or an unpleasant one by saying my assumption of their continued participation is wrong?

Anyone posting some signs of life on this thread now or at least when I post again is very welcome to do so. Also all kind of suggestions/wishes are very welcome. I'm not planning to run this RPG as a dictator...

Lastly, if you know people who would be interested to write in an RPG or especially in this one, please invite them to join our diminished party. I can always make a short summary of what's happened this far and in this kind of RPG, it is absolutely no problem to introduce new characters in the middle of everything, because there are definitely far more Dwarves around than the characters we've written for this far. (This goes for old writers too - if you feel like taking new characters, feel free to do so.)

And this invitation also goes for all you stalkers out there. Don't hesitate. We need life here.

*stalks*

[Kitanna]

I'll just confirm and say I'm ready to add and post once we get moving again.

[Durelin]

I am around, but fluctuating in busy-ness and all that. I have glanced at this RP occasionally for months, but obviously never taken even a step further. Fail.

I will be happy to get this going again, even though I dread killing my characters. Ah well, I can always bring them back in some other form...

Yay Lommy! Let me know what kind of help you need, and I will do my best to provide it (obviously posting is in order, but let me know what I can do planning-wise and whatever else).

The RP forums in general are pretty quiet, but I'll see if I can prod anyone into joining us for the remainder.

[Thinlómien]

Nice to see some activity. I'll try to get this moving soon (within a week) and I'll tell you guys if I need help.

Mnemo, if you've ever wanted to create (or adopt) a cute little Dwarf and DESTROY him/her, here's your chance.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Good to see this brought back to life I have already told Lommy that it's no problem for me to take Náli, after all, he's Lóni's brother and I have even sort-of posted for his actions partially at some point.

So definitely looking forward to future plans... and I will also re-read the thread a bit to refresh my memory about my characters' whereabouts and situation.

Truth be told, that's been one of my long fantasies with hobbits (writing the destruction of the Shire = so sad but so much evil authorial fun!) but I'll take Dwarves in a pinch. I'll need to look over everything, obviously... I've had some Dwarf OCs before but they're always a touch harder for me to come up with (especially suitable names!). I may be willing to adopt.
