Posted! Finally!

Gwathagor, your elf now has the locket.

Groin, your dwarf has now arrived at the inn...sorry if that's too much of a liberty for me to take.

And the rain has begun to fall.

Also...please remember to take the signature off of all the posts you post on the game thread.

[Gwathagor]

Great.

Sorry about that.

[Folwren]

Not a problem, so long as you fixed it.

[Eönwë]

How do I join into the Golden Perch Inn?

[Folwren]

Hi, Eönwë! Welcome! I'm glad you've asked. We need something or someone new to stir things up around here....

Joining is pretty simple. If you are not already acquainted with the rules, then it may be good to read this. After learning the rules on that thread, read the first few posts by Pio at the beginning of this thread, here. Once you've figured out what kind of character you can make, create a character description/bio, using the form I will copy and paste below.

After you submit that to this thread, I will read it and more than likely give you the thumbs up and then you can proceed to introduce your character to the game thread.

And if you have any further questions, do not hesitate to send a PM to me, or to Piosenniel.

Character Description Form for the Inn

Each player in the Golden Perch will need to submit a brief Character Description form to the Inn’s Discussion Thread. It can be submitted at the same time as you make your first post to the Inn Thread.

Posts for characters who do not have a Character Description put on the Golden Perch Discussion Thread will be sent back to their writers. You may of course repost once your character’s description is on board.

Please use the following form.

~*~

NAME:

AGE:

RACE: (Only those character types listed by the Innkeeper will be acceptable: Hobbits, Men, Elves, or Dwarves. NO Orcs; Easterlings, Southrons, and any other men of an evil race; NO Animals - as main characters; or Any other creature or persons not mentioned in 'Types of characters allowed' No half-Elven characters. No mixed-type characters. No super-heroes. No assassins. No one all powerful, martial arts proficient, or having any magical traits. Just regular characters with normal abilities for their races only)

[Eönwë]

NAME: Songo "Hairfoot" Doggans

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: None except that Steak knife he used to use. And his walking staick for travelling (though he has never travelled)

APPEARANCE: Short, Curly brown hair, quite muscly for a hobbit, but holding back a bulge in the stomack with a tight fitting belt

Eonwe, that looks great. I didn't have time to read your post to the inn.

I'm leaving, everyone, in about half an hour and I won't be back to a place with a computer until next Monday. I hope everyone survives. Don't burn down the inn or anything wild like that.

NAME: Haves Gavomer

AGE: 24

RACE: Men


GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Two common throwing knives, one attached to each side, as well as a longsword with simple green-coloured carvings attached to a belt.

APPEARANCE: Fair-skinned, light wavy brown hair of medium length, averagely built, and tall. Wears dark, shabby clothes

PERSONAL STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Haves refrains from attracting extensive attention to himself, but is in no way confined, and is quite happy to share details about himself whilst still concealing motives or details he does not characterize as being on a need-to-know basis. Is very selective of who he befriends, and is often untrustworthy of anybody who he believes to be too needy or persistent. Haves hates to be ignorant about almost anything, and as a result he can be overly curious.

HISTORY: Haves' business in Stock translates to a need to feel more connected with the inter-relations of the wider world. He has lived on his family's isolated farm for his whole life and his willingness to be informed of the world he lives in consumes him.

Nice profile. Welcome to the downs


Ok Folwren, I think I'll stick with Songo after all (reason being I want to be better at RPGing so I can do justice to the other character)

[shaggydog]

I hope that works, sorry to knock the little guy down but he was right there! lol Anyway can change it if needed.

[Folwren]

Yes, you may certainly post.

Shaggydog, lol...I was kinda thinking, "That kid's going to be run over by either shaggydog's character or RunItsANazgul's character..." Seriously.

[shaggydog]

Eonwe, I sent you a PM but it might not get to you because for some reason just clicking on your name didnt give me a PM option and when I typed it in by hand I didn't have the umlauts or whatever they are called over the vowels. So anyway, if you did get it, you can PM me back, and if you didn't, let me know here, please and thanks.

Folwren, is there any way to send a PM just by clicking on a name or is there an icon or what???

[Eönwë]

Its ok people, I don't want you to change your posts or anything.

And shaggydog, I didn't get you PM. I think it was sent to this Eonwe instead.

Shaggydog, in order to send someone a PM, you have to have the exact name, accents, umlauts (spelling!), and all. There should be a way to send a PM by just clicking on a name and it giving you an option, but since the site has been upgraded, that feature has not been working as well. I often click on the name with my right button on my mouse, select 'Open in new window' and it will open the user's profile. There, somewhere on the left and scrolling down a little, you'll see the option for sending a PM. Otherwise, just copy and paste Eönwë's name into your PM and send it that way.

Sorry. We need to contact the real mods of the forum and ask them to see if it can't be fixed.

[shaggydog]

I saved mine but now it would make no sense So I guess someone will just have to pick up with that last one of mine. It seems like we lost several posts about the leak and then some of the roof coming down, so Folwren will probably be happy that Dick doesn't have to deal with that mess

[Eönwë]

Nooo! I was going to save it, when my computer crashed on me, and I never bothered to sort it out
