Hookbill, I plan to move my Alli SAVE so that it comes after B88's post. Can you delete yours and repost it after I have my post up?

*Salutes* Yes, my lord!

Ahem.

That's my lady, young hooligan.

PS: thanks.

On the grounds that I set this thing up in the first place, I hope you can all put up with me trying to keep some of the original stuff (that does not disagree with nor antanoize our beloved Feanor of the Peredhil) that is supposed to be in place:

1. U-haul ought to be italicized, Fea.

2. Hookbill, there is no such place in Mordor as Los Angeles. The place is called Lost Angles.... which should be italicized too. This is a most crucial difference.

3. Mount Zoom should be italicized too.

Oh, and is Mount Zoom going to skidaddle out of Lost Angles?

Well, LMP's niggles have emboldened me.

I wanted to note that it seems extremely odd for folks like Hyarmenwe to be saying "ok" and seems like grounds for immediate assignment.

Oh, and, who exactly is all in the council room, now?

Anguirel · 07-10-2006, 02:07 AM

Bang on, Diamond. That's exactly what I want to know. Fea said "eight delegates", but Beauregard has food poisoning and Smilog and co. still seem to be running around in ever more incomprehensible circles...

If anyone's making Hyarmenwë say "Okay", I want THEM assigned to Mordor.

Can I just say 'LA' instead, then? I'm awfully confused.

Oh dear. Don't be confused.

Lost Angles is indeed Mordor's own spoofy version of Los Angeles. But its name is Lost Angles, not Los Angeles. Just like it's Mal-in-Bu, not Malibu, Rode-o Drive, and not Rodeo Drive, Fallen Arches Mall instead of the Fallbrook Mall, etc.

Better?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-10-2006, 09:04 AM

My official position on just about everything ATM related is that if LMP has a qualm, we're going to listen to him. He is the original mind behind this vision of Mordor and therefore knows it best. While I am, when rushed or impatient, willing to employ the use of the anakronism incontinuity, or even better, deau ex machina, I'd prefer to do things right the first time than to explain them away later.

Therefore, among other things, my slacking with italics will change; I've been setting a rather bad example.

Since Bearugard has food poisoning and Smilog just returned to Zoom, I will edit my post to accomodate.

Diamond and Anguirel: as of now, there are six delegates there, in whatever condition the past few days have left them.

Hookbill: if LA makes it easier, go ahead.

Celuien: thank you for the clarification.

LMP: yes. Where shall it go? Taking votes.

Not really. But I'll take your word for it. I'm not familiar with american landmarks and such. What's next? Small Jim instead of Big Ben?

That's okay... neither are we.

And you know... Small Jim...

I like it.

Sorry. I used to live in LA, so I know the stuff there.

I like Small Jim too.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-12-2006, 02:39 AM

Small Jim may be making an appearance soon.

I have a few plans developing.

Just need some clarity before I go ahead...

Where are the Blue Wizards at the moment? Do we know what they are up to?

littlemanpoet · 07-23-2006, 12:51 PM

I gotta say, Hookbill, anakronisms are one thing; rolling mountains and flying cities? If everybody else is cool with them, so be it; but they're not really anakronisms so much as pure fantasy, ya know?
