Barrow-Downs Birthday Party - Discussion Thread - Page 7 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Okay, Mithadan (the EmCee) has just keeled over ONSTAGE from having bitten into a poisoned apple handed to him by three disgruntled mods. Murther most foul, most unnatural! (How he can be killed when he is already dead, nobody has yet addressed, but hey, it was their poisoned apple, not mine.)

So...what's next? Do we resuscitate him? Avenge his death? String up Piosenniel, Bethberry, and Cami? Set the wolves on them? Go to war?

Call in the Barrow-Wight to adjudicate?

We can't just not-notice.

mark12_30 · 05-06-2003, 10:52 AM

Way-to-go, Aman!

GaladrieloftheOlden · 05-06-2003, 10:52 AM

Yes... what exactly is supposed to happen? Or has Mithadan suddenly been called away and used the apple as an excuse? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

GaladrieloftheOlden · 05-06-2003, 10:55 AM

Another question- is this going to be a re-rendition of Sleeping Beauty? I mean... Snow White. Curse these fairy tales! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I have no idea! I'm just as much in the dark as you. But I love these surprises. They make RPG'ing interesting and fun.

Arafangwen · 05-06-2003, 11:34 AM

You guys are crazy [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ! I was thinking that the apple was just an exuse for having to leave, but you never know..... Mithadan, should I wait for her to show up? I PMed her the day you asked me, but I haven't recieved an answer yet..... Wondering..... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The Daughter of Gollum and Shelob · 05-06-2003, 12:21 PM

Oddwen · 05-06-2003, 01:27 PM

Well, it seems to be resolved...oh nuts. I was going to say something, but I forgot. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Nurumaiel · 05-06-2003, 09:46 PM

For anyone who may care, my post presenting Orual's award has been edited and now has her acceptance speech, and something very important I forgot..... her song!

Enjoy!

EDIT: mark12_30, I know exactly what we should do. Not tell Chief Inspector Slack or Chief Inspector Craddock that we're doing it, but quickly call in Miss Marple!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

LAST CALL

We have a number of AWOL presenters and some unclaimed awards. We will wind up the Awards show by around 5:00pm EDT tomorrow, so get your posts up.

Hirilaelin · 05-07-2003, 04:02 PM

Question: Exactly what awards are being given? I was never quite sure on that...

Award idea: Fad award! For Boromir the Disco King, Balrog Wings, Alecake and the like.

Eruanna · 05-07-2003, 04:32 PM

The awards were kept secret...I like the element of surprise! Most of the speeches have been really funny. I laughed out loud at Helkahothion's "Yeah Whatever" song. Great stuff. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

What has happened to the Birthday Party thread.....has it gone for good?

Salix · 05-07-2003, 04:51 PM

It's probably too late, but I'll volunteer for presenting an award.

the phantom · 05-07-2003, 10:56 PM

I volunteered to present before the awards started but I never got a PM about it (telling me what I was presenting and to whom).

arelendil · 05-08-2003, 02:47 AM

opps have i missed it then?? oh well, i'll pay more attention next time! unless we have an after show party?? that could be fun judging by the awards themselves.

anyway just asking??

***Mithadan*** · 05-08-2003, 07:07 AM

The Party thread is closed and has been moved to Elvenhome.

On the first day of the Awards Show we PMed a number of members asking them to present awards. About half have failed to respond, so we put further awards on hold, hoping that the AWOL members would catch up.

If you have been asked to present an award, please do so today. If you volunteered but were not contacted, we apologize. We may send out some final requests today.

Oddwen · 05-08-2003, 03:54 PM

Hunka-hunka?

VanimaEdhel · 05-08-2003, 05:42 PM

Blah...I missed the party.

Not to sound rather stupid but oh my goodness! Thank you so much for the Downie! I had resigned myself, as I said, to sitting with Ransom, maybe cheering if he got an award, and just giving good old-fashioned cheers for everyone else.

I promise I'll be here for next year's party though: I'm not playing softball next year.

The thread will be open for one more day for the final Awards.

Durelin · 05-11-2003, 11:45 AM

Okay...I'm a bit confused. People are 'leaving' the awards show, does that mean it is really over? Just tell me, as of today, are there any awards left? I am confused.

Maikadilwen · 05-12-2003, 08:59 AM

Yeah well, real life matters have kept some of us pretty busy...

kittiewhirl1677 · 05-12-2003, 01:38 PM

Well, it was fun guys! Really was. Now at least, we can concentrate on other threads and RPGs normally once again.

GaladrieloftheOlden · 05-12-2003, 02:10 PM

Yes, that was very funny [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Arafangwen · 05-12-2003, 02:16 PM

Yes. It was cute [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ! I thought it was over a few days ago, so I had stopped coming until I suddenly had a funny urge to look it over(?) and see how many awards had been given out, then I relized I could've been there for a few more days or so [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] , oh well, it was fun!
