Warm thoughts to you, Ang, and I hope your summer turns out to be a happy as well as a hectic one.
Congratulations on your A levels - I don't think that is premature, somehow...and as you say yourself, let Treachery be the least of your concerns.

I apologise for my own crapness, and will post as Embla later today, liberating poor Durelin from the field where she has been standing all these weeks.

I feel so guilty for neglecting this .. but I will do what I can to help ..time for Tathren to step up I think. It won't be anything like up to Ang's standard but I can move things along even witha Page's eye view as necessary and now some of my personal issues have been resolved (alas a parent going "on the blink" is something I can identify and sympathise with), I should be able to concentrate more..

Ang,

I hope things work out with you and your mom. My own schedule has been crazy this summer for similar reasons. I am trying to help my mom find a new place to live because of advancing age and up and down health. She's in another state and I am trying to handle all her business long distance, which is a juggling act.

I don't want to see this game crater. Folwren - My schedule is a bit strange going in and out of town in July and August, but I will definitely do what I can to help.

Anguirel · 07-02-2007, 08:10 AM

Everyone,

I can't say how happy and thankful I am that you're rallying round so thoroughly, and that you don't seem to think I've let you down much.

I too would love to see this game somehow survive and will struggle to post a bit while I can. I'm willing to play Caranthir if and when he's needed at the end, to keep on with Gausen and Drenda a bit...but Lachrandir...that's a hard proposition for me. I just can't be around regularly.

Maybe we could kill him off, eg in a hunting accident, leaving negotiations in the hands of the inexperienced Tathren? Drastic and Mith would have to agree.

Thanks again so much - I was expecting a way more condemnatory and scary reaction.

Anguirel · 07-02-2007, 08:17 AM

Oh yeah, was so relieved didn't read Folwren's post properly. You can have Lachy, m'dear, with my best wishes. I'd like to maintain my Ulfings for the present, though. I will say if I'm sinking still further into inactivity.

You're all wonderful. Kiss kiss.

Excellent! But mind yourself, fellow! I've no desire to be kissed by anyone but my husband.

Mithalwen · 07-02-2007, 10:50 AM

Oh blimey I wasn't expecting Tathren to actually negotiate himself - they would make mincemeat of the hapless youngling - more give observers account of what his master was up to... and for me generally to devote more time to this.

Of course far more satisfactory if Lachrandir can be played properly . If Elempi can't or won't maybe Aman might be approached - she may have more time post A-Levels or Envinyatar or Formendacil?

Ang .... We will miss your writing but you are dealing with things out of your control why should we condemn.... must be horrible to have so much upheaval at once. Just do what you have to do and get back to us when you can.

And I'll have Folwren's kiss

Well as Galadriel briefly to Ang's Celeborn, it is my right ..if one is taking it so seriously ( what kind of kiss are you imagining, Foley?!!) a kiss is just a kiss....

*mwa mwa mwa* (bisoux)

Folwren · 07-02-2007, 08:20 AM

Were you honestly, trully expecting us to be that angry? Shame, Anguirel - we're your friends, not judges!

I sincerely hope that all goes very well for you, in school and with your mother.

I'd rather not see Lachrandir die. I've asked Elempi (hope you don't mind) if he would play the elf for you. Elempi said that he will look at the game and think about it. It will be a while until he gives me an answer, though, due to his busy scehdule.
