ATM II Planning/Discussion Thread - Page 17 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

littlemanpoet · 02-20-2007, 02:42 PM

I hope that my 41 day absence, which begins tomorrow, does not throw too many wrinkles into the plans everyone has for this rpg. Celuien or Fea, or Kath, for that matter, I would be most grateful if one or more of you could carry my character, probably in the 3rd person. As you wish. My apologies if this messes things up.

Celuien · 02-20-2007, 04:01 PM

Since our characters are rather connected, I guess I can help keep Elempi of Umbar out of too much trouble for the time.

littlemanpoet · 02-20-2007, 06:50 PM

Thanks!

Aren't you one of those who insist on British spellings?

the guy who be short · 02-22-2007, 11:16 AM

Yes, usually. However, Americans have a point when it comes to standardizing endings, like -ize and -ise. There is no logical reason to have two different endings.

It annoys me when logical, latin/greek roots are changed, though. And the pointless changes for "ease".

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 02-23-2007, 06:12 AM

The ATM was invented by a Scot – but I can't think of a way to use this in the story.

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-23-2007, 07:30 AM

I've filled my save. If my characters complicate things, LMP, you can have them leave politely muttering something about someone having already taken this hiding spot.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-27-2007, 11:47 AM

I have no idea how much that makes sense (the post I just put up) but I'll edit later. I just wanted the gist of it up.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-01-2007, 10:48 AM

If you guys want to start having up close and personal were-experiences, now would be the ideal time.

Anguirel: Tom/Alli meeting- co-write via PM? Do you have an instant message handle of any variety? I have AIM, MSN, and Yahoo if that would be more or less convenient. Or do you just want to volley it on the thread?

Anguirel · 03-01-2007, 11:10 AM

I am planning to bang on one short post - I won't put up a SAVE, have done too much of that recently, but e-kick me if it's not up by tomorrow evening. After that we can co-write by PM - I'm afraid I lack all the marvellous thingamabobs you describe!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-01-2007, 11:39 AM

PM it is.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-03-2007, 10:31 AM

E-kick.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-15-2007, 05:31 AM

I've made a post.

It occurred to me that, while this massive army of the Blue Istari's is nice and all, Mordor doesn’t have anyone defending it. Neither is there anyone for this army to fight just yet. I have, however, made this army small enough to be replaced by a bigger one if that is what you have planned, Fea.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-15-2007, 07:29 AM

Armies are fun, great initiative, I only ask that Roggie not be there. He's the only one I have a plan for. Everything else is subject to mass whim.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-15-2007, 10:49 AM

I'll change it then.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-19-2007, 07:17 PM

First edit placed into the SAVE.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-20-2007, 05:34 PM

Updated with the fate of Tom Felton.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-29-2007, 08:26 AM

Hooky, feel free to have them argue about salad. Just one request: can you have them do it in an intimidating manner?

I hope to have the last part of my 'long post' up soon (blasted term's ending and I'm swamped more than usual).

Provided Eomer acquiesces, I'd like to end our post by getting the duo next to the wizards. I think. Blah.

Aime? Are you alive?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 03-29-2007, 02:31 PM

Is that a trick question?

If I understand aright, you can edit any post I put on the thread? What power! But it does mean that I can blame any bad storytelling on you changing my words.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-29-2007, 05:25 PM

You understand partially right.

I can edit my posts.

Which means I can copy and paste your words into my own mouth. Mwahahaha.

Since I'm currently more concerned with continuity than bad storytelling (that and I trust your ability), no worries about me changing anything.

I'm editing your words into my post. You'll want to delete.

And I'm adding my own words before Grey's Anatomy. Why, oh why is that show so darned addictive? I have homework I should be doing!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-29-2007, 05:47 PM

Okay. Long post finished. Mario's dead. Fenrir's dead. Tom/Dracomir's dead.

Alli and Aime are now with Smilog/Blue Wizards.

Hookbill the Goomba · 03-30-2007, 02:13 AM

Edit done. I hope it is to your liking, Fea.

I've been wanting to do that for ages.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 03-31-2007, 02:59 PM

Possibly won't be able to post on days other than Friday and Saturday for a while. The very thought of going without the Downs for 5 days at a time chills my bones.

I'm a little strained right now (last week of classes; finals; professor hates me; work; travel; homework; shoot me) so I'm not sure how often I'll be around to post either.

Hookbill, how would you like to determine what comes next for the Wizards and those in close proximity?

I was thinking that The Barrow Wight isn't 'dead' and returns. This distracts Alatar and he tries to catch him but Palando tells him to concentrate on the army. Or something along those lines.

I'll get right on it as soon as I get back from my grandparent's golden anniversary party todays.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-05-2007, 01:46 PM

I have a personal emergency that's going to take up my time for an uncertain period. Definately the next week, probably for longer.

Anything you guys want to write, feel free.

Don't wait for my approval.

Muhahaha! *plots nefarious schemes*

Anyone has free range to do what they will with the Farsegul. It was a spur of the moment invention so... whatever you want them to be, I won't mind if any characters want to meet / eat them or whatever.

Try 40 days sometime. Not to be recommended lightly. By the way, I'm back.

And have read up to the most recent post. Where's Panaciea's writer? Celoooooooooiiiiennnn! Where are yoooooo?

*pops in after a day at work*

Overwhelmed at present. Spending almost every day at work (yesterday was my first full day off in awhile). 45 mile commute, each way. Getting ready for a concert. Writing up the programs for the concert. There's more too.

That has been the story of my life for the past month or so, which has kept me away from here. Sorry. I'm hopelessly behind, but am hoping to catch up fairly soon.

littlemanpoet · 04-09-2007, 08:56 AM

No rush, oh capped froggy. Do what you need to and then we can make some plans or just wing it, whichever you prefer.

Celuien · 04-09-2007, 07:02 PM

Thanks.

The current round of craziness (I seem to be having those more frequently as time goes on) will be over in two weeks.

I'm all for winging it at the moment.

littlemanpoet · 04-10-2007, 10:02 AM

Okay, I'll go write something suitably nutzoid soon as I can figure out where Elempi and Panacea are in relation to anyone...everyone.... else.

Celuien · 04-21-2007, 05:11 AM

The bad news is my save is still unfilled.

The good news is that it will definitely be filled in the next 36 hours.

Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for understanding.

The save is filled. I suspect Lugnut will need a handkerchief.
