HAHA! Elmer....er, "elimirphudh" that would be priceless! And do post the game, I am interested in how things will work out...And Lotesse- can you write her response and veiwing of the game in past tense? I think this would be a great time to show off on the sneaky-mischief-fun-factor.

Hi, Shah - I love what you started with, except one small thing, Viv introduced herself and was chummy with Ray when Marty & Ray came to Orrodel for dinner the previous night, remember? So he already knows her name, and he knows she's into checking out the town, she'll be thrilled to spend a few hours more with him after breakfast, doing stuff...
 Not feeling super right now; will re-read the last few story posts and help post in a few hours. Thanx 4 introducing Viv to the King!! She's MUCH obliged!!GREAT 2 see U, Valandil! We have missed you so much!

Udu, I am glad you joined. Have you decided what to post? Perhaps you want someone here leave you an opening?
And your Udukhaturz, is he a Numenorean or an Easterling? Cs, Val and Shah, I loved your posts. Val seemed too distracted to notice Viv at once, but well... CS, will you go watch the game? Five and Khamul? |

Do you like it so far, Shah? I'm trying, I hope it isn't too lame of writing - I haven't been myself much lately, but at least I'm trying! Viv & Ray are gonna do a classic frog-trick on someone, haven't decided who yet. Maybe even the King himself! Shah, you DO know you can post Viv saying stuff, too. I trust you with her! I think you have a good grasp on what she would or would not say. Am I doing O.K. with Ray so far?
 Butterbeer, you around today? Wouldn't it be fun if the Constable or Barliman runs into these two this morning? He'd be wondering what they were up to, what with being a Constable and everything ! But the walk will be a short one, and I don't know how to steer towards the Game, or if I can put Viv there, or WHAT's going on; I'm afraid of messing up other people's story ideas at this point so I'll just sit back for a few posts and watch what others do. I wonder if Lilly will be curious about Viv's new buddy-up with someone so close to the King! Plus I feel Lilly will be happy for Viv that Viv's found herself a friend, to keep her from being so intense and moody all the time. Oh - you guys, I wanted to say, Lomi's character is like Eeyore, you know Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh but I don't know how to write it into the RPG like that today. I'm low on creative wordiness today, but I thought I'd let you-all know about Lomi being a little owl-Eeyore.

R*an - Thanks for the welcome.
The Last Sane Person - I had envisioned being another faculty member. Crazy Squirrel - "I say, start posting and we shall see!" - I am working on something right now. Lotesse - I am familiarizing myself with the plot outlines and and older posts. I think all of you are doing a great job. Butterbeer - "odd characterisics turned up at orrodel" - He will be trying to appear as "normal" as possible. "maybe Udu could lodge at the University in the Professor's plush appointments (and, UDU note you: a wine cellar to rival and indeed better Orrodel) maybe in the very large well apointed and well served rooms opposite the professor of Commerce (coming soon!)" - Butterbeer Nothing like showing up at an old acquaintance's office and moving in to sponge off him. Udu is planning to do that very thing if possible."i thought Professor of siege tactics the best..." -Butterbeer I agree. "Udu, I am glad you joined. Have you decided what to post? Perhaps you want someone here leave you an opening?" - Gordis I have PMed you my first public posting for your advice and suggestions. "And your Udukhaturz, is he a Numenorean or an Easterling?" Numenorean. |

heh very interesting reading, esp Shah (the Guv ... where is he btw
) and Lotesse ... your last post was, Lotesse, the best you have written i think ... descriptive, flowing, tight, and aware of the nuances around the other characters...i especially warmed to lomi with a mix of owlishness and intelliegnce... you two have bonded very quickly and i think it helps flesh out both characters really well.what more can i say? Rian: glad you have some help now and will be major-domo or head of household ... a half elf of your age, from Gondolin and experience and lineage should not be doing menial jobs (as i am sure you agree) now that you are nicely settled in to the rpg, and doing a stirling job .. maybe it is time to develop a stronger story-line ... perhaps nothing direct ... so that you can still be reactive ... but a strong sub-plot to give you somewhere to go and develop? ... and add to the rich mileau we weave... Valandil: (car 51) ... thanks for the reply! CS: glad you came down stairs all bright eyed and bushy tailed considering the night GW posted you guys had! so you now have a maid ... better keep your eyes on penny  UDU: welcome to the seats of learning 7 ... Professor of Seige tactics ... hope you are more adept at your post than the Proffesor of Commerce (coming soon!) ... though i'd lay a wager he might drink you under the table ... SHAH: wheres thr GUV' the captain of the watch ... still taking it even easier than constable BB? Lotesse: aye' well maybe constable BB will pass by, but do not see him as a cop, he's the watch y'know ... would probably just give you good advice on where to eat and drink and think no more of it! best all, BB |

“UDU: welcome to the seats of learning 7 ... Professor of Seige tactics ... hope you are more adept at your post than the Proffesor of Commerce (coming soon!) ... though i'd lay a wager he might drink you under the table ...
” - ButterbeerButterbeer or anyone, a question - Is it foreseen that there will be anyone portraying students in these classes? Or will the professors referring to their experiences in classroom lectures speak of only non-player characters? “Well well, we await your post with abated breaths, Udu!” - Gordis Wish me luck. “*breath abated* where IS UDU? (reminds me of the fellowship)” - Butterbeer Almost here. |

Butterbeer and Gordis, thanx SO MUCH for such positive response to my post from this morning!! I had no idea it was any good; in fact I thought it was one of the WORST I'd done so far; well that just goes to show how important it is to be able to get feedback from others when one is trying to "be a writer," as I am. I guess this means I need to use more dialogue in my posts, more character-interaction. I get shy about doing it, I don't know why if I think I'm gonna be a playwright.  Again, thanks SO much 4 your comments!

Lotesse,
"A real quick answer to this question can be found if you've read the RPG itself, wherein the students signed up for classes and each student that is being played here had to go through the process of being approved by the Arch-Chancellor." I thought I read everything but I must have missed that somewhere. Udu really wouldn't know about the students yet anyway and is really hoping the Chancellor will not put him the next day but give him a week to get accustomed to everything. Otherwise, he will be like the typical new professor and be flustered through the first three weeks of class, and not even have a syllabus prepared for it. "Have you had a chance to read the RPG yet? Please do when you can; it'll help you tremendously as to finding where your own character will fit best; plus it's just good to know what's going on! Really, it's just a must. Glad to have you joining us, welcome!" I have read through the summary and have begun reading the original posts, but I am not quite caught up yet. Just bear with me. |

Well, I loved your introductory story-post, udu! I was under the impression, though, that you were gonna be a Nazgul - am I wrong, are you a Nazgul or am I just not reading it right? It's an extremely interesting character, whether Nazgul or no - he seems a bit like a renegade blue-blood assasin-for-hire to me, like a Dunedain ranger gone wrong. I love all the detail you put into it; his affinity for horses, his clothing & gear, etcetera. Can you give us a character bio for him, you could post it in the Calling All Nazgul formal info thread.
I admire your writing skills; great stuff indeed!

CS - I just realized that in an earlier post of mine, rpg-Rian had told Galaddanun that all the positions were filled, and in your post, she says all but the lady's maid. I like what you did with that, so I'll go back and edit my post.
