Well that counts me out then.

Which is a shame since, being experienced in the resolution of disputes in my professional capacity, I might have been able to offer a service here - for a reasonable fee, of course.

Fea shows off her strikingly beautiful Half-Elven self: a fiery spirited young maiden with a distinct love and respect for art and nature, but with Man's desire for scientific advancements. Even while she puts up with no foolery, Fea's sense of humor is legendary.

Cough, cough. It makes it easy when your screen name is ripped directly from Tolkien's world. But, Saucie, I suppose you could be a mimicry of Samwise Gamgee, if worse comes to worst.

Good place for anyone wishing to start gaming whenever you can fit it in

Fea looks down at her tidily organized schedule of the next week: busy, busy, busy... day off!... busy...

Perhaps Thursday I'll have time... It's the homework... they keep piling it on, even on top of everything else that takes up my time.

The Innkeeper sidles a step or two away from Fea and hides the knife in her skirts.

Just as the Innkeeper backs away, Fea feels her own ankle sheath (made of the finest Gondorian leather) come loose. She quickly turns to one side, allowing her skirts to billow outward, covering her feet just in time. The blade has fallen to the floor, but Fea has cunningly hidden the mistake... "The Innkeeper will never guess," she thinks, "until it is too late."

Saucie, no need to give up hope so soon. Possibilities abound. I like the Pseudo-Sam idea. He must have clattered.

This maybe brings up a question, Helen: would you come to The, however you name it, the 'Dueling Inn' in character or as yourself? Would the 'duels' be between the members themselves, or between devised characters?

Well, if a fights-allowed satire-inn were to open (which has yet to be determined) then the characters who arrive to duel must be Middle-Earthy. But that can be accomplished either by creating a new character, or doing what is neccessary to make your BD identity Middle-Earthy.

Fordim Hedgethistle as a character name stands by itself and would be fine (especially if he's a hobbit.) "Sauron The Abhorred", no problem either.

davem might stretch his name to Davemir, or Davem Iron-Fist, or Davemolas The Other Prince Of Mirkwood, or... well, you get the idea.

So-- either start new, or morph what you've got to be Middle-Earthy and Tolkienish. Your choice.

All this is still under negotiation, so we'll see what happens.

Mark, with a screen name like mine, - meaning merry or mirthful maiden - the only fights I could have which would be in any kind of character would be tickling contests, or maybe playing 'sausages' - where your opponent must only say 'sausages' in reply to whatever you ask, the object being to make them laugh. And I wouldn't fancy having a tickling match with someone's evil persona!

Well, I could be jumping to conclusions (it's been done before) but it is remotely possible that one of H-I's alter-egoes MIGHT be Roggie of Morgoth. Just a hunch.

If you haven't stopped by one of the Inns and checked out a few posts, why not do that soon? As far as I know, they don't shoot on sight, being rather pacifistic and business-oriented folk. Go have an ethereal ale.

One has to book beforehand, or all things would be taken.

But, if anyone is deadly thirsty after Roggie's screenname, I can pass it over for free. He was just a prank of mine, you know.

Provide me with your e-mail and password of your choice (by PM), and I will change settings. Than, after first log on, you are free to change password, and Roggie will leave my tutelage and be yours for good or for bad

I can fight as H-I, if anyone dares to toss their sock at me!

cheers

mark12_30 · 11-08-2004, 06:54 AM

Gee, lemme think about that.

Can I afford the time it takes to be fighting off screaming fangirls? Maybe if I just lose the eyeliner.

Gee, H-I, if you're fighting as five wizards, does that mean we get to meet them all??? **drum roll** The Blue Wizards are finally revealed...
