***Earniel*** · 06-09-2005, 05:52 PM

So? Is anyone else coming out to play?

***Tessar*** · 06-09-2005, 05:59 PM

I don't think so

.

***Earniel*** · 06-09-2005, 06:18 PM

Wha-?

Not one of them?

That's... hard...

And it's such good fun to be had..

Should we take over some of the then-abandonned characters? Or is there still a chance that their players will return at some point?

***Tessar*** · 06-09-2005, 06:51 PM

I'm really not sure. I told them a battle was coming up, and most gave the 'okay, good to know', but one even said that they were too involved in another RPG :-/.

Butterbeer · 06-09-2005, 07:40 PM

well you can tell how tired i am - i tried to log in as 'shame on them'

well here i am still at the office (1235 am .... a million things to do and only 6.5 hrs to do them in ...

jazz and bottle of wine (o'll be here all night unfortuntaly and have to work all through tommorow ...yawn) so i'm going to take a short break and hee i am ... on the night of the long knoves - should i just leave the spelling mistakes in???

quick ones: Tessar: wasn't having a go at harn, just wanted to check on who knew who etc ....

Earniel: hey Ravenlocks can rest assured - if she survives this nights work, Fletch is true - .... women, these days eh? They always think the worst of us!

Too tired to plough true and change all refs of supersonic just now ... gonna call me horse 'Strawberry' - sometime soon(ish)

Glad to see you are ok Harn: must have been indigestion that gut feeling...

Regarding the orcs taking ravenlocks ... well all i can say is

TSSK tssk - Orcs these days.

well is suppose i better go read the thread and hope dear Locks' is not totally disfigured by this point ... mmm lets see if fletch the assassin can take care of himself (actually i just realised it's odd that fletch is an philosopher assasin and here we have a an assasin sent to kill the deadly duo?)

well sod suspense it aint me...

see you guys ion the melee.

Ps how does this work exactly?

ps i thought it a bit out of character for fletch to be so edgy or to "demand" where Locks was: hey! he's a gentle fun loving deadly assasin philosopher kinda guy.... just a touch concerned about his love captured by foul evil .... orcs

btw how old is harn approxoimately?

best

Oh, apparently not. In fact...I think this is the perfect place for a post of our fearless leader. *pokes Tessar back*

hears a distant thud and a squeal from what sounded like earthbound trans-threading herself into this serious temple of discussion ...

"watch yourself on the teacup cafe earthbound! " he shouted with a wink.

Butterbeer · 06-13-2005, 02:32 PM

"yeah!"

* agrees with Earniel *

(goes off to plunder the lyders's fridge

)

EDIT: hey guys i got a bottle of bolinger Champers (in fair trade - gangsta style

) - its ok i don't think anyone suspected it was me: i was wearing my under-cover-elephant TM disguise.

ps what happens next do we agree a mutual time to conduct the battle scene or is it already to some degree pre-destined??

*raises glass of the bubbles to Earniel and Tessar and telcontar*

***Tessar*** · 06-13-2005, 10:25 PM

This was gonna be my one big chance to call the... like... something... down on you Earniel!

FINE! I'll, like, totally write something, yah? I was gonna let you be all, like, creative, but, like, I'm totally going to cramp your muse now.

Lief Erikson · 06-14-2005, 12:56 AM

Get busy, buster

Oh don't use those puppy-eyes on me, you know I can't say no to them. I'll write, I'll write!

Just didn't have much inspiration yesterday and my creativeness was fully engaged in solving some cumputer problems.

I'm at work now, where I technically don't moot, so give me till tonight and I'll post.

***Tessar*** · 06-14-2005, 01:32 PM

You don't have to write something if you don't want to, but I would (being totally serious here) appreciate it since I can't write anything myself today and might be swamped tomorrow as well.

I'm taking an english college course over a five week period, and I have at least 100 pages of text to read, then five short storie/essay things, plus I need to find an article defining beauty and study five pages of notes as well as memorizing almost verbatum one of the handouts we got today for a test that's tomorrow. I have to do all that before I hit the sack tonight since I was busy yesterday as well and didn't get a chance to study.

If I ever say I'm taking a summer course again, someone PLEASE shoot me.

On the plus side, I'm sitting next to a cute chick, so it's all good...

I promise I will do my utter best to get something done tomorrow morning if I can get up on time, or at the least get something done by Friday.

Butterbeer · 06-14-2005, 03:52 PM

that's nothing! (seriously) if you knew my work-load just now you would not beleive me!

I'm taking a break: i'm digitising on one system and laying off on another luckily for the next hr and a bit ... and trying to find an editor at very short notice to fill in a night shift next week for a 5 x 60' network daytime slot - working late -shift in the middle of nowhere that's behind big time already ....

I'll spare you the other 212 things etc .... partly because i'm worridely trying to remember about 89 of them! (an approx figure)

anyway where we at: what can we do or not do?

all best all
BB

***Earniel*** · 06-14-2005, 03:55 PM

Okay then. Writing coming up... erm.. before midnight...Honest!

Good luck on the summer course. It may be tough (read: very tough and loads of work) but yay for education! says the one who really should consider stopping with it after her third college degree...

And good company is always appreciated. (Tell the cute girl you like shopping!

)

About getting something up by friday... you know: no rush. Education comes first! There's only me and Butterbeer (and occasionally TD) left and we're not a hurry. We go go for the slower but high-quality RPG's! Right, guys? (Pssst, TD, BB, this is where you say 'aye' and sound like you mean it

)

Shutting up now, and moving over to game thread.

Butterbeer · 06-14-2005, 04:09 PM

"Aye" thundered Butterbeer rolling his RRR's and looking entirely beleivable.

Ps our gates of mirkwood advice column sub-debate: DON'T tell her you like shopping! Not at least until you've got to know her a bit : it might put some serious initial doubts in there first off - play it the other way: you'd even be prepared go shopping if it was with and for her alone ...

Telcontar_Dunedain · 06-14-2005, 04:37 PM

Yeah, good luck Tessar.
Just one question. Will the archers remain on the hill during the battle, or come in for close contact aswell? Or will we wait and watch another plot twist from out GM.
