Righto...

So.

If I understand this aright, I am now able to post Denethor's "Hello Dwarves! Look at my matchbox!" post on the Game Thread?

Excellent... I shall commence to do so.

Formendacil, that was BRILLIANT! I'd rep you, but I can't at the moment.
Look at that folks, a hard act to follow!

Hookbill, do you want people to PM me the bets, or should they post the bets here?

Here is fine.

Glad you enjoyed it. The idea of Denethor waving a lighter- for whatever reason, was stuck in my head, and demanded an outlet.

I was also really pleased, as I wrote, to discover the appropriateness of "Húrin of the Keys".

I eagerly await other people's posts.

Very eagerly.

Are we allowed to bring other characters into the game? I mean, Theoden would never go down to the engine room to deal with the horses (yes, Mendel-zoom works by a strange mechanism that resembles a hamster running on one of those running wheels... but with horses. Many horses). So I was thinking I'd get Hama to join in as well. Just as a secondary character. Is it allowed?

Caranlondien · 04-09-2006, 02:52 PM

Just testing it out.

SPM, should I start out "driving" (i.e., posting narrative) and then turn the wheel over to Bilbo when you get back? Or would you like to start out with the first post? (I haven't started on anything yet, so it's fine if you'd like to.)

Fine by me. As long as you keep the two main people at the forefront.

Oh, and I need all the drivers to specify which direction they are going to go in.

Well, if SPM has no objections, (and I assume he doesn't since he's driving, feel free to correct me Saucie) I'm going ahead with the booking.

Alright, here are the odds:

Mount Zoom 4-1
Bag-Endless-Feul 5-1
Orth-Tank 6-1
Barad-Dash 7-1
Medel-zoom 11-1
Minas-Mor-Go 10-1
Minas Taxi 8-1

NOTE: These are mostly farsical, since we can't really pay out odds in rep points.

Hookbill, do you want people to PM me the bets, or should they post the bets here?

It looks like we'll probably get enough players soon, but if not, might I prevail upon my brother to play? What say ye, Aiwendil?

I say it's a good thing there were already enough players by the time I noticed this thread, or else I might be tempted to give it a try - which would undoubtedly mean even less time spent doing what I should be doing.
