I'll be Dimwë the half-wit second cousin of Elenwë

Nogrod · 05-25-2006, 05:03 PM

Your point updated in the tally...

Nice to see my wife saying herself to be half-witted... In the earlier game she would have hit me with a battledore for trying to propose this myself!

Love you Di!

Ummm LomGrod could you perhaps make my title simply Elenwe's secret chamber maid....sounds more mysterious and exciting.

I took a look at my dictionaries. Would you like to be a "maid of honour"? What I was looking after was the word "courtier", but that seems to be a male-word. How does it sound to you native speakers? There surely is the "courtesan", but that seems to carry some pretty heavy associations with it...

Would just a "maid" do? A personal maid f.ex.? Is the following right with you (I'll change it as is needed)?

So an update (sorry Lommy...

)

Valier - Elenwe's personal chamber maid
Diamond18 - Dimwë the half-wit second cousin of Elenwë
Naria -
Macalaure - Turgon's nephew and part-time-repentant kinslayer
Lalaith - Aredhel's tutoress

tom bombarrific ?
Nilpaurion Felagund ?

Well you know, one can't play the same character every game.

(Well, one can, but one doesn't want to.)

Players
Valier - Elenwe's secret chamber maid
Diamond18 - Dimwë the half-wit second cousin of Elenwë.
Naria
Macalaure
Lalaith

If they die early enough in Kath's game:
tom bombarrific
Nilpaurion Felagund

And sorry for flooding the thread: The only problem with two mods is that we can't edit each other's posts and I can't wait Noggie to edit his...

And I could maybe add this as well:

Macalaure · 05-26-2006, 11:19 AM

I'd like to be

Turgon's nephew and part-time-repentant kinslayer

I see some kind of connection between playing Werewolf and kinslaying.

Besides:

Cobbler - yes
Retractable votes - no
End of day - 10 pm GMT (this is 11 pm in Central Europe, if I'm right)
