Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

[Groin Redbeard]

Well, I have spent some time in the real world (actually read Tolkien books again) and I decide that I like it too much to return to the land of the dead. I hope that you will forgive me if I write one last post to sum up my characters. I could not resist giving them happy endings. All but Lithor and Erbrand—that story is up in the air if they are caught or not—however, that is up to ya’ll. Although the soldier’s are going to drill, I could not resist having Erbrand have one more brawl before he leaves. Sorry if I beat him up too much, but that can be ignored if you wish. I won’t be here to criticize it.

This tale has been fun to weave and I am sure that it will continue to be fun, despite my absence. I’ll be praying for every one of ya’ll, pray for me.

Goodbye,
~Groin Redbeard

Okay. I feel both blame and being insulted at the same time. I'll send Groin a PM tomorrow (it's late today and I need to go to sleep).


But what I want to say publicly here is this.


We needed to remake the Mead Hall. There was no way we should have entered a lord similar to lord Eodwine into his place as lmp got out. To write a story one needs tensions and challenges. Who wishes to write about a normal life going fine as it has used to go? And don't get me wrong; the main feat of the Mead Hall has been the relations between people rather than achieving a goal or putting up a fight. And that's what's made me a fan of this. But this thread really needed some poking; to get the different characters to react to new conditions...

So I came up with lord Athanar who is different from lord Eodwine but still a good man, a staunch defender of Rohan, a true eorling war-hero, a part of the nobility of Rohan... And I wished to see how the characters of you old writers would learn to appreciate him - and surely how "the original Mead-Hallers" would change him and those who came with him!


Well, it seemingly crashed with Groin at least. And so early!

I'm very sad to see that - it was to be seen for some time though - but I never thought it was that serious. And as I say I do blame myself for it for being the introducer of that character he seemingly never got used to and decided to take it that way. But then again... my complaints I will leave for his eyes only, for now on. We'll see if we need to come back on them. Hopefully not.

Which doesn't mean I'd not love him back. On the contrary.

He has been a great writer of this Hall and I'll do whatever I can to get him back here - but to be dishonest with him.

Nogrod, don't blame yourself. If Groin never writes back to you, at least allow me to tell you that it wasn't due to you that he left. I already sent him a PM, and from what he replied, it didn't sound like he was upset with you at all. I think he's above that sort of behavior.

I suggest we carry on...with his last post he left a lot of fuel to add to our fire. Scyrr is pretty badly beat up, but it doesn't look like he's dead. Lithor has run as well, and Athanar is not bound to be happy. Looks like fun.

Alright, I worked on a post yesterday and I think today I'll be able to get it up. I have writer's block, apparently, which is why I'm having so much difficulty getting a post up. But today I mean to add something to the thread.

Please, everyone else, don't let Groin's sudden departure stop you from writing! I know a lot of our players are gone at the Bostonmoot, but those of you who are still here - Loslote, Mnymosyne - PLEASE write something.

Seriously, what on earth just happened?

Oh my...

There's really not much more to say...
