Yes your post is just wonderful Glirdan!!!

Sleepy please use caution when using things ie: birds in your surrounding. Your character does need to work out these problems by your lonesome, so no more major help from the wildlife!

Bah! I'm a ranger, public relations with animals is a job necessity.

But alright, I'll cut down on the animals from now on.

Valier · 08-09-2006, 12:02 PM

Thanks Sleepy!! And it is ok to use animals around you, just no getting them to fetch you things....just remember Eoln is always near and he as well can chat with the wildlife and he may in the future tell the birds to pretend they don't understand you.

Everyone's posts are just Fantastic!! We still have a few left to come in....but of course there is still time and I am sure they will be fantastic too.

Naria · 08-09-2006, 11:44 PM

I'm done! Hope it is what the three Mods thrice are looking for

Valier · 08-10-2006, 11:46 AM

Quick note....Sorry everyone that, that map sucks!!! The finish line is in the wrong place!!! Duh! *slaps forehead* I will edit it and post the new one on Day 2. Also if it is hard to see your name or colour please let me know and I will see what I can do....

Nogrod · 08-10-2006, 01:03 PM

Questions about the game dynamics to the revered mods.

As the contestants are now in something like "parties" eg. near each other, will they still face the next day's challenges alone?

It would feel a bit odd, that they make friends during the night and then one at the time perform the same challenges the next day. And wouldn't any reasonable contestant try to use others to help oneself with at least the more challenging problems they face and just try to get rid of any competition later on?

So is something like teamwork allowed?

Another question.

If I know that I'll probably be sleeping and then busy (RL) when the new day begins (GT), can I send my choice of direction beforehand so that when I wake up (RL) I can immediately see the description and think for my questions?

Valier · 08-10-2006, 01:13 PM

I know it's a little weird to not talk to other players during the day, but remember there can only be one winner. And Eoln is always watching, he would not allow such frivolous chatter during your challenges. You may look at one another during the day and have your own thoughts about other player, but you may not help someone else with their challenge. You can "help" other players by your actions, but you may not talk!!

If you know you will be away at the start of the new day you may pm me your direction choice, but ONLY if you know you will be away, no sending them early for your convenience.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-10-2006, 01:18 PM

It wouldn't really matter though, because we'd still get the answers back at the same time as the others players.

Sleepy Ranger · 08-10-2006, 01:19 PM

Shouldn't Day 2 have started by now? When does it begin?

Valier · 08-10-2006, 01:21 PM

Eomer.....Huh? LOL

Sleepy..... Nights are 24hrs Day 2 begins at 1am CST

Ok players may pm their direction choice to me early, but I will not send you your scenario until the Day starts. I don't want some players having more time to think up something than the players who sent theirs at Day start.

That was just what I was after: that I could have the answer in time (when the day starts) even if I'm not awake or otherwise able to send mine in that hour. The worst scenario would be that I get to make my PM to you just as you go to sleep and then get the first answer only after my day (RL) has already gone...

That's ok. for me.
(This problem will occur with me every even day of the game as the hour of the new day starting is then during the morning hours and I'll either sleep or get to work)

Sleepy Ranger · 08-10-2006, 01:36 PM

Nogrod and I are in the same time zone so I'll have the same problem. Just so you know why I'll also probably be sending mine in early.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-10-2006, 01:37 PM

Yes. That's what I was getting at too.

Valier, I just noticed your birthday on your profile. I always imagined you as younger than me! Now I don't know what to believe...

Why thank you for noticing.....I know I'm old..... And so all you know I will not be around for most of the 19 and 20, as it is my 25th birthday and I plan on being thoroughly inebriated for these 2 days...I may be around, but don't be surprised if I send you some nonsense instead of an informative pm.

just to tell everyone, especially the mods, that i am currently away from home till saturday, but i do have internet connection but i might not be on more then once or twice a day

Valier · 08-11-2006, 01:00 AM

I understand that people have lives outside the Downs......But you did forget to vote Gil-Galad, this time it's OK, but next time.......*evil smirk*

Valier · 08-11-2006, 12:16 PM

Again....players When You Pm Me Your Directions Only Use left, Right Or Straight, Not North, Upwards Or Anything Else Like This. I Don't Want To Get It Wrong, So Just Do It This Way!!!!!

THE Ka · 08-11-2006, 04:03 PM

Oh bloody hobblestones, my post is so sappy... If there is anything wrong with it, please let me know as soon as you can.

Glirdan · 08-11-2006, 04:06 PM

My post is up as well.

Nogrod · 08-12-2006, 06:49 AM

My problem was quite an easy one (the only effective solution is a bit self-evident), but writing it proved to be a real challenge! I hope I have managed to describe the work in a way that can be understood...

If there is something totally weird or ununderstandable, please ask. The basket-thing itself is totally doable in RL, but describing it with broken English seemly isn't.

Sleepy Ranger · 08-12-2006, 10:38 AM

My post is up, I hope everything is in order.

Valier · 08-13-2006, 01:17 PM

Day 3 may have a few technical dificulties, so if I pm you..... please be patient with me.
Some players may receive their pms a little late....but no penalties will be had, if this happens and you didn't finish your post on time.

Gil-Galad · 08-13-2006, 02:08 PM

i'm really bringing the game down for everyone, maybe Valier, you should just take me out of the race, before the game started i had loads of time and now all this stuff is coming, i'm trying to come on but i'm always ending up missing something

Valier · 08-13-2006, 03:05 PM

That decision is up to you Gil-Galad....

Roa_Aoife · 08-13-2006, 04:58 PM

Gil, if you really want to leave, you can write yourself an out in the game. We understand in life is just keeping you away, but I personally don't feel you're bringing down the game. As Valier said, it's up to you, but we will certainly miss you in the game should you decide to leave.

Gil-Galad · 08-13-2006, 07:33 PM

Just that i've been getting somewhat frustrated lately, increasing pressure with school and work, and this game is really confusing me alot and that is not helping my frustration. usually i would take a couple days but it won't work for this game.

personally i think that i can't really handle this game, its at a certain complexity where i can easily make a mistake and i just get easily frustrated with this game.

i'll have to think about and try to figure things out.

Thinlómien · 08-14-2006, 11:57 AM

You can complain to me because of my complaints (

) but it's rather distracting to see the siggies in the game thread, when they obviously (by the rules) shouldn't be there...

So, dear fellow players, (for my sanity if for no other sake) please try to remember to remove them...

Valier · 08-14-2006, 12:00 PM

Agreed Thinlómien!!!!and Thank you.

Players please remove any sigs in the game thread

Thanks for yourself, Valier.

I was feeling myself rather peevish...

Thinlómien · 08-15-2006, 11:08 AM

Oh... I'm so ashamed!

I forgot. I did write post, but since I had problems with my net access, I saved it to word and decided to post it later and... forgot.

Will I have the same scenario for the next day or do I need to write a new post?

Now I should only write so good a scenario at some phase that I'll catch up with the others...

Valier · 08-15-2006, 11:23 AM

Thin all you need to do for the next day is post the post you wrote and then you will continue moving regularly the next game day.

Glirdan · 08-15-2006, 11:34 AM

I too must agree with Lommy and Valier: Please remove your sig from any game posts!! It is distracting. Mind you I'm being hypocritical as I forget to remove from actual RPG's quite often...

But I'm learning! So, if you don't want to listen to me, listen to the others.

And is it just me or does it seem like Eomer and Valesse are stalking each other??

Thinlómien · 08-15-2006, 11:40 AM

Valier, how come Thin-Gloomy and Ransley may converse if Thin-Gloomy hasn't moved?

Sleepy Ranger · 08-15-2006, 11:41 AM

Valier, how come you never remove your signature?
