Hey, Kuruharan, what luck that it roused your curiosity and you looked! I will be certain to PM you when this game finally starts moving forward again. As a matter of fact, as it was not lifting off the ground at a very fast rate, Sally suggested that she go ahead and run her game, and that is what has happened. I have not checked up on her game, so I don't know how close it is to being finished yet, but I'll let you know. Maybe you will be able to play.

Sally's game is finished, with a wicked victory for the evil side.

Oh, indeed? Well tell everyone to flock on over here, then.

Okay, I have really, really bad news. The fact that this game never got off the ground is probably a good thing, because it is turning out that I couldn't keep up with it. I'm going to have to step back from modding for at least a month and a half. Camp and school is overwhelming at this point and internet is spotty where I am, at best. I will be available at the beginning of August. If people are not too mad at me, will I maybe be able to open this thread again for players towards the end of July?

I am really, really sorry. I could've pulled it off a while back when I first hoped to mod, but not now.

Sadness.

I'm sorry, Foley. A bad set of circumstances seems to have stalked this game from the first.

I plan to be here for its revival later.

The Doom of the Noldor seems to have spread over this game...

What can we do? Unexpected things happen unexpectedly... Unlike what Eomer said, the unbidden does not always prove the best company...

But, looking on the bright side, I have nothing scheduled for August except for a music exam, so I should be in when this game happens.

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-14-2011, 10:08 PM

I'm sorry to hear that, Foley.

In an effort to get the ball rolling again, then, who's next on the "list"? Was it you, Inzil?

I'm willing to host at any time as sort of a "filler" host, if there isn't anyone else, just for future reference. Anyone who signed up to host already should definitely go ahead and do it, though.

Folwren · 08-05-2011, 09:19 AM

Third time pays for all, right? I'm willing to give this a go IF we can get it started by EARLY next week. School starts in something like two and a half weeks, I think. There is no possible way that I will be able to mod the beginning of a game after school starts. If this game is still in the works by that time, I think it'll be okay, as it will be tapering off towards its ending.

I will send PMs now to the people on the list.

Sad to hear that Foley. This has really born under some bad sign in the very beginning.

But yay Inzil! Werewolfing to be done!

McCaber · 07-08-2011, 10:49 PM

The beginning of August, you say? I might have to put myself on the list for this. It sounds like a fun game.

But, being bored today, I decided to read it for the chuckle value of seeing how the above scenario fitted into Tolkien and lo and behold it is about dwarves...which makes it awesome!

Actually, I think the first scenario would be awesome, too.

Sally's game is finished, Foley.

I must warn you, though, that there was a high drop-out rate– a lot of people still seem to be very busy right now.

EDIT:X'd with Zil and Folwren.

It's finished, as far as I know. Kuruharan chose a very good time to poke this thread.

Kuruharan · 05-16-2011, 09:22 PM

Not such a good time if I wanted to play as the next three weeks are pretty much no go for me.

Maybe after that, I'm not sure.

Not that it is saying much, it is *extremely* difficult for me to commit to any sort of time intensive activity at all and I don't see that changing any time...ever.
