It's definately not going to be as wonderful as the amazing Mr. Lee's, I admire him too much to try and emulate, but I promise I'll put good effort into it. Quote:
Ugh, I know. I'd love to, but I have a big application I have to finish as soon as humanly possible. Hmmm, well, I could join and finish it up since both require reading and writing. The only thing is, I don't really want to hinder the game by just posting and not going too indepth. It's the playing style I've come to recognize over the years. I read a bunch, think over it, watch and post. I tried being more hasty last time and well, most of you saw how that went. Complete nonesense. *puts bag over head* Plus I have work, and my hours are going to have people wanting to stick me on a pike or push me off a cliff to a small but terrifying white rabbit. Oh what the heck, I'll join. I don't have role yet, so don't even ask. Possibly WereEnt? I miss being an ent, but I guess for everyone's sake I'll try something else. Radagast comes to mind, but I doubt that after having to take him along to ME before, that Saruman could stand to have him in his fellowship. The idea of it is certainly entertaining... ~ Ka

And concerning your style, well, just try to do your best Radagast does not seem to have been much of a talkative patron, and rather a silly tramp. So, no problem... I will add you to the list, okay?

And here I was hoping that compulsory role-playing would restrain Sally from her customary lunatic posts. This could be even more disastrous than usual.

Sally: is Theodred going to be carrying a duck along in this game as well?
Okay eleven players in... this looks really promising. Just a few more and we'll get a game we will all remember a long time. Btw. we had a discussion here at my place earlier this evening and LG started to think that she might play Eomer. So Eomer and Theodred / Elladan & Elrohir... Nice indeed! What a fellowship! Had Tolkien just thought of this one (with Lobelia... ) himself.

Hee hee, that made me laugh. Well, I guess after spending all fo your work day with animals, (and talking to them), you are a bit silly. It's required. Thanks for adding me! Lommy, sorry if it is taking longer than expected for your avvie, I just got off of work and am working on it as I speak. I should have it up and ready for your approval tomorrow. I won't make it too big so it doesn't take up anymore loading space for the thread. ~ Ka

Sorry for double posting...
*puts down pencil in a huff* Here you are Lommy. It's really not its best this small, so if you want to edit it yourself, or if someone else would like to, here is a direct link: Gildor Hrmm, on second thought I think you should keep the Alan Lee Gildor. Mine looks like a Mona Lisa for some odd reason. ~ Ka

Anyway - Lommy & I are going to be away from next Thursday to Sunday. I don't know if anyone else would need a break over Easter, but if the game is already running by then, we would miss one whole day and probably half of another.

Looking at her grim expression in your avvie... well nothing. She's really scary!

Gríma was a lovely idea, thanks Nerwen I still have to decide between him, Éomer and Ghân-Buri-Ghân
Leaning towards Éomer at the moment... But not at all decided yet. When do I have to know? Btw, lovely avvies people

Fine, I've made my decision.

How about we make it easy, and both agree that Gildor is Italian. It reminds me of a long, long time ago, when I had art class and the assignment was to make a clay bust of ourselves or a random classmate. Mine went through this weird phase of looking like an old french man, then he turned into 'jesus'. Needless to say my art teacher was okay with it, but mostly confused. I really wonder what Radagast is going to look like though. Any bets? Quote:
Thanks for reviewing the horrible drawing everyone, I posted it so late at night I probably wouldn't notice much. ~ Ka

The only pictures I can find of Halbarad online look retarded.

http://www.bracegirdle.it/Arda/images/halbarad.jpg Well, maybe the standards of a 'horrible' drawing have changed, but that doesn't look retarded. He's quite putting Aragorn to shame. Though, it's Anke-Katrin Eissemann. She makes all of us feel inferior. Hope this works, if not well, you can always draw your own. For example, the pictures I found of Radagast made him look like Santa Claus crossed with Sasquatch. Needless to say, the matter of making my own became top priority. ~ Ka

And very good it is, too.
Meanwhile Agan's new avatar looks pretty much the way I've always pictured Lobelia. Hmmn. Théodred and Éomer. I foresee that we're going to be hearing a lot about horses...

My avatar is a bit messy, or so I heard (it took Noggie, Lommy and Agan around a minute to realise where the Éomer in the picture was ) so here is a bigger pic.

And I just love that Radagast, Ka - it made me laugh, and still does. Is there any possibility to see a bigger version of it? Quote:
Ah, nostalgia; I have no idea why, but that picture amused me very much when I was smaller. It caused me and a friend to make jokes of Halbarad. Quote:

I just have one thing to beg of you Aganzir: please don't have Lobelia stealing any of the fellowship's spoon's!! It will be hard enough, killing Were Wolves and all, without having someone stealing our spoons!

Gwath please take the picture sent by The Ka and not the card-game version by Legate. I mean the first one is just awesome and the other one is just.. well, let's not swear on this family friendly site...
Here is a 63x63 version of it. Darn it seems not to work... http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/c...lbaradtry6.jpg Well at least you can find it from here... Sorry to be such a beginner with these...

Let me tell you, Mr. Nogrod, that your feelings of art seem very, very bad to me Not that I believe the other picture to be bad, but I like Hoover's picture quite a lot (even though, like I said, he looks like he's greeting the white colonists of America).

But whatever. Everyone chooses with her/his preferences. Maybe it's just that I have got to know that Hoover's pic from a lousily drawn card-game or something but it really is pretty bad to my taste... unlike the other one posted by The Ka. De gustibus non est disputandum - but what should we argue about then, the facts ("oh no the boiling point of water is not 100 degrees but 92!")?

Okay, I'll try to recover and concentrate on the "tralla-lally" of Tom after this. Happily you're just only the omnipotent mod in the game so I'm pretty safe as you can't do anything... Yes, an added smilie to go with the former ones...

Now you have to choose an avatar– ensuring that either Nogrod or Legate will never speak to you ever again– ditch Beowulf for a quote by or about Halbarad, and fix up your location.
Somehow I doubt Halbarad's a fan of the Pogues.

Btw. should someone ask Durelin to join as she's both a great WW-player and a fine RPG-writer? And it's always fun to play with her.
Or Valier? Wouldn't this be just a game for her? Okay, I'll send them a PM if you Legate haven't done it already...

Yay, I'm glad you accepted the invitation Gil-Galad! I also sent a PM The Might, so hopefully we should have enough players before too long.

As much as I might fancy the challenge , no. Don't worry. No ducks this game, except the one who might occasionally whisper in my ear, "WHAT? Théodred would NEVER do that?" So I'll be foul-free, but deaf. As for Easter, I don't think I'll have a problem with it, but I'm definitely not against delaying/pausing the game for those who do have a problem with it. Whatever's best for y'all.

You both shame me. It's just a drawing! I'm sure Gwath will pick one he thinks is best in his own opinion. Just as long as it's not Rococo or some other 'inspired by' Ruben movement, I see no reason for an arguement. Quote:
Well, still, I think it is a good choice of character. I've also wondered about what Lobelia could have thought, given the liberty from Frodo or Bilbo's interpretation (as is the same with Radagast quoted by Gandalf at CoE). Here you are: I was originally going to have Radagast saying something, but that seemed more 'Gandalfish', so instead I thought it would suit him better to be listening. Though really, I think the raven's telling him an 'uncloaking' joke about Gandalf he heard on the Crazy Captions thread and Rada is simply promising to keep it a secret. ~ Ka

OR I could choose a completely different picture for my avatar, thereby insulting and estranging BOTH Nogrod and Legate. We are very democratic in the offense we give. Anybody got any good Halbarad quotes?

Rubens. Yuck. I can imagine Halbarad as a pantalooned courtier romancing billowy women in the Garden of Love, and it's not a pleasant picture.
