Hmph. *off to edit* (Although, thanks for pointing it out. I was confusing those two words all the time, which was pretty annoying.)

PS. Thanks to whoever it was that repped me forty minutes ago for my latest post for Cnebba and didn't sign it.

Lommy!! That Cnebba post was great. I might post something little about Ædre getting mad and then Javon can pop in if that works for you Foley.

Oh and her trunk is perfect.

Sorry! I always forget that. *facepalms*

[Folwren]

Whooops. I did go through the motions of attaching it, but I guess the computer didn't recognize it.

Let's try again....but I think I see what you mean about the guardroom's situation. I'll attach the latest map and then work on the map some more and attach another one...

[Nienna]

I think we are ready for Javan now Foley. If there is anything that you want me to add that might make his entrance easier let me know.

Lommy if I misrepresented Cnebba please let me know and I can edit.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Foley: I'll get on that once I catch up. Also, tiny nitpick: you forgot the 'r' in armory on the map.

[Nienna]

*Gasp* Foley! That post was brilliant. I can't wait to write a response. It is a bit late now though so it will probably be tomorrow.

[Folwren]

Thanks, Fea. Paint doesn't have spell checker, that I know of.

Nogrod, let me know what you think of this new plan.

As it turns out, we have an extra room that is very large. It's way up in the back, right hand corner of hall. I was considering putting in a room where Modtryth, Stigend and Cnebba could be together as a family, but there was no convenient place to put them. Let me know ideas on that...

Guard room and Armory at the front of the building. Guardroom a little too small for my liking...unless we decide to put all the men who aren't strictly guards back in that back room.

I put the kitchen ladies across the hall from the kitchen. I may have made a mistake to make two rooms for the women. I'm really not sure how many of us there are.

Nienna, I almost cross posted with you, but not quite. I'm glad you like the post. I am looking forward with GREAT anticipation to your response. Unfortunately, I will be away most of tomorrow and may not get a chance to post until Sunday. If I don't post by noon tomorrow (which is about twelve hours from when I will be posting this post) then assume I won't be on again until Sunday afternoon. And in which case, why don't you, Nienna, go ahead and heat the argument all the way up to whatever point you wish. Have Javan say or do whatever strikes your fancy. Then when I get on, if it's not fiery enough, I'll fix it.

K....I think that's it. Once again, let me know your thoughts, everyone.

EDIT: The map says that the outer side wall is only 60 feet long. That is a lie...I added twelve feet to it when I put in the guardroom and armoury and moved the kitchen up. So, the dimensions for the building are now 90 by 72. Plus twelve more where the kitchen sticks out a little.

[Nogrod]

I'm in a hurry right now and will comment on things later today. But here's a draft of Mid Emnet.

Opening the can of worms again.

I need to get this settled probably now. So, which one of the maps are we going to use? Because if it is the last one (presented in the post I am quoting) and the guardroom is in the main building, it is preeeeeetty small! I mean, in that case, it would be just guardroom for, like, some eight people sleeping there at most, or something like that. And I was just writing my post for Hilderinc and I accidentally used one of the former maps, where the room was much bigger and next to the kitchens... thus Hilderinc's thoughts about it were good... then I saw this and figured that in that case, I would need to reconsider. In that case, his reactions would be preeetty negative (Which is maybe in our intention? ) So, anyway, I do not have time to finish my post now, but when I will be back home in the evening, some six hours from now or a bit more, then I would like to post (well, of course I can still edit it later if we decide otherwise... but since the looks of the barracks are probably going to influence Hilderinc's mood, I think it's time to settle it now).

So, meanwhile, if there is anything yet to add or alter about the Mead Hall's appearance, or mainly, about the soldiers' "housing place", let's talk about it... also, where are the men of the Mead Hall living now (i.e. the locals)? Are some soldiers now in the barracks, and some of them are going to move out, or will some of them stay and squeeze in with a few of the new soldiers, while others will be... where? Where do the men sleep? And where will the rest of Athanar's soldiers sleep? It is obvious that not all soldiers, let alone all men in the Mead Hall can sleep in the same small room. (Personally, I had nothing against the original placing of the barracks against the kitchen, as it would be at least partially heated from the kitchen, if there is a fireplace built in the neighbouring wall.)
