Tol-in-Gaurhoth L: Battle of the Fandoms - Admin Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I will be an obsessive Star Wars fan, and hence Fea's mortal enemy. I have a vast collection of memorabilia, speak largely in quotations from the films (meaning all I have to do is copy my brother) and list "Jedi" as my religion in the national census.

~Jedi Master N'Rwen.

(Oh, and Gwath's idea is hilarious.)

Wow! Mr. McCobbler is attending the show!

...hey, I can tell you, I've been so long without WW that I really start to feel some of these "abstinence syndroms" on me

Brinniel · 09-04-2008, 03:06 AM

Count me in.

Though can I request that we start earlier than later once we have enough people? I've just feel like the transition from game to game has been a bit slow lately (3 games in 4 months) and I don't know about everyone else, but I tend to lose momentum if I wait too long. Plus, I'm more likely to have less homework earlier which means more time for me to play.

I have too many ideas for a fandom right now. It's so hard to choose....so I'll have to get back to you on that one..

Oh c'mon, we all know that in a showdown between Starfleet and Palpatine's ineffective little drones, Starfleet has at least three aces in the hole: 1) Kirk could always just seduce Palpatine, and 2) Should that fail, the Picard Maneuver can solve most of the world's problems, and 3) When in doubt, slingshot around the sun and bring back a humpback whale.

Edit: And...

Rikae · 09-04-2008, 07:23 AM

5pm is much better for me, since I won't be at work at the DL.

Durelin · 09-04-2008, 08:08 AM

Awesome, welcome aboard Shasta and Brinn!

Up to 11 (13 if we wait, but then we might lose people, and really if we get started we might be done and the next game might be starting when Aganzir and Legate are able to play, so hey)... I'd like to get about 15 at least, but...

We'll probably start in just a few days - maybe Monday?

And it looks like the deadline will be 5 pm EST unless there are many complaints.

Mithalwen · 09-04-2008, 09:44 AM

If it starts quickly I would like to play - I am probably starting evening classes (serious ones for a professional qualification, not something fun alas) in about 3 weeks time so ....

5pm GMT is 6 BST? which woudl be great. However if you go for the other one it might make Mr Nogrod get over his megalomania and vote in good time

The same goes for me.
This looks really interesting, but I won't die if I can't play... Maybe it's time to learn to give school the priority...

Mithalwen · 09-04-2008, 10:13 AM

I think I better be a hard core Tolkienista since really know enough about anything else

Nogrod · 09-05-2008, 10:24 AM

Lalwendë, Izzy, Mith... well, well. This is looking good indeed!

Thanks! That was just what I needed to introduce (once again) my message of me trying to do some work (RL) also while playing eg. not posting in a flood-kind-of-a-way all the time...

Durelin · 09-05-2008, 10:40 AM

So good to see you, Izzy!

And come play, Lal! Pleeeaaase?

I'll make up my mind about the deadline tomorrow. If everyone who hasn't given me a silly role could do so soon that would be awesome.
