There is indeed a plot.

Basic plot being: ambassadors negotiating peace between the countries.

By sub-plots I merely mean any agendas that you guys have that don't directly relate to your characters (meaning the diplomats themselves) behaving in such a way as to... oh, I don't know... stem off a huge war wherein everybody dies.

Thanks for the refresher. I was just kidding about "no plot".

I know that, too.

Hookbill, I think you left your siggie in one of your later posts...

Ah! Well spotted. You win... erm... some goods.

Celuien · 06-24-2006, 05:10 AM

Okay.

Panakeia will be remaining in Lost Angles when Mount Zdoom leaves. She and Anakron need their time apart.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-24-2006, 09:06 AM

Understood. So now the only folks not at Doom are the Gondorians. No worries there. Shall the Mordorians actually start trying to convince Roggie to try negotiating again?

the guy who be short · 06-26-2006, 09:55 AM

Note: Hyarmenwe does not speak English. The couple will have to be Sindarin-speakers, which seems unlikely in Mordor.

Anguirel · 06-26-2006, 09:58 AM

Not that unlikely-I thought the couple were Gondorian ex-pats.

My save is filled in...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-26-2006, 09:58 AM

I have no issue at all with the young couple being multi-lingual. That was probably the only thing about them uncanonical enough to get them assigned.

He does, however, speak Westron- which presumably remains the Lingua Franca of Western Middle-Earth- albeit with a heavy "English" vocabulary in Mordor...

Been gone all day, and I'll be gone again soon enough... may not post too soon.

Diamond18 · 06-26-2006, 11:30 PM

My save is up. Yay.

Kath · 06-27-2006, 04:09 AM

Alright Igör is in Roggie's chamber along with Dracomir but can't be seen. Sorry for the long absence and the rubbish return but I just wanted to get him in the right place since I've missed the two weeks of madness.

Anguirel · 06-27-2006, 04:09 AM

Hookbill, Tom entered through the window on a broomstick, not through the door...

Diamond18 · 06-27-2006, 03:11 PM

Uh... perhaps I need to try this again.

Last night I filled in my save, which entailed Skittles entering Roggie's chamber directly after Dracomir, before Smilog/Tollin/B-W and Igör. It's there, trust me.

BLAST! I can change this.

littlemanpoet · 06-28-2006, 08:36 PM

Guy: Tgwbs? Hee hee! Clever. Tugwubs.

Diamond18 · 06-28-2006, 08:42 PM

Only, it's not Tugwubs, it's T'Gwibs or Tigwibs. Or at least, to me.

By the way, I'm accepting suggestions on why Skittles should try to talk Roggie into restarting the negotiations. Because blimey if I know. If anything it seems she should be arguing for a war so that she can continue to be the Chief War Advisor.

Because... erm.... I dunno.....

Maybe because RoboSkitt would have wanted war?

Sorry.... 'tis the best I can think of...

Oh, and TGWBS is pronounced "Teegee Doubleyou Bee-Ess", but in sort of a rolling manner. If that makes sense.

Maybe she has moments of even deeper insanity than usual during which she uses a semblance of wisdom that belies an unconscious need for the order she needs to have in place .... in order to be able to create chaos!

JennyHallu · 06-29-2006, 05:55 AM

ah! Elempi, thou cruel...cruel...whatever thou be-est. Jackalope?

My brain is spinning in circles.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-29-2006, 08:29 AM

Perhaps because she knows that it will only cause paranoia if she starts acting sane?
