Well, we had a nice little storyline merrily playing itself along here, involving, well, most of the cast actually; however, the next person to post logically needs to be Novnarwen, Tarkan and Pelin's writer. As there has been no movement on this front, I will make a post tomorrow, if I have time, moving it along a little (am in revision panic mode, but I'll probably have time, je pense) - I intended to do so on Friday, but have been at a wedding in Stratford and then working today. Novnarwen, if you wish to make a post which is chronologically before mine, I will paste it into mine at the beginning

Alaklondewen has written to Fordim, Kransha and myself that she will be withdrawing from the game and from all gaming at BD because of several factors in RL. I assume that Fordim and Kransha will be coordinating the loss of her character but if any of you wish to contact her with questions or to wish her well, she said she will be checking PMs until this Friday, when she will be moving and losing computer access.

I'm sure I speak for us all when I say we wish her well and hope she can return as soon as possible.

I'm really sorry for not having posted. I truly am. I have been so busy, with everything from visitors, concerts and exams. In all of this, I simply haven't found time for posting. Unfortunately, this week, as well, will be busy. However, I will try to make a post. Whether I make it in time before Aman posts or not, I am not sure.

I hope this is all right.

Alak- I'm very sorry to see you go. Hope you'll be able to get back soon.

Thanks for you patience,
Nova

Don't worry Novnarwen - good luck in your exams! What level?

I have posted: hope this is alright for everyone, and I apologise for it being slightly belated. Hopefully this can move us on to the actual contents of the meeting before Khamul, the Emissary et al turn up and crash the party.

Greetings all!!

Aman: you are the truest most faithful Downer of them all! In the last two weeks, you are the only gamer (myself included) to post! Praise her with great Praise!!

It has become apparent that the game is officially, well, maybe not dead, but certainly quiescent. That is OK, we had a good go and it went on a LOOOOONG time.

But our revels now are ended; too many of our actors have melted into the air, and the great globe itself is dissolving. It is time for our insubstantial pageant to fade...

In keeping with forum rules, then, those gamers who have not posted in two weeks (which is everyone but Aman and, soon, myself) will have their characters summarily taken over by me. I will thus begin to close out the game with a series of posts that I hope to get up between now and Sunday night.

Any gamer who wishes to put up a post in these last days should feel utterly free to do so. I do not mean to wrest control of your characters from you -- only that if you are no longer able or interested in posting I will do so on your behalf.

I will have up a post tonight; before Aman had posted there would have been nothing for me to respond to...

Amanaduial the archer · 05-25-2005, 02:48 PM

A fair point indeed, sir, a fair point indeed...

And Fordim, erm...thank you? Calm down sir, it can't be good for your blood pressure

And be not morose, Captain: this game has been, and still is fantastic. There's no need to give it a quick shufty ending - it deserves a playing out, and we can give it that, good sir, if you're willing; even if half the gamers have 'melted away' and we haven't seen hide nor hair of some for weeks. I'll have another post up as soon as I can - I'm revising Philosophy tomorrow and god, but it's tiresome...

And yes, yes I am in a slightly odd mood this evening, due to variou events of the day including an English Literature exam: believe me, the word 'morose' doesn't generally feature in my every day vocabulary...

EDIT: Hrm. Due to a certain revelation that Novnarwen wanted to make regarding her character and Khamul, I'm not sure I can really press on that much. I'll just have to...hang on for a while then. Foils. But hey, press on Firefoot

Novnarwen, don't worry about RL and everything, I hope it's all cool - if you could try to get the next post in the series up, that would be great, but if you don't have time could you possibly PM me about what you would like to happen. Hoping you can post as soon as, but don't worry.

Imladris, check you PMs please.
