Well, as it happens, I'm not leaving after all- not until July, at least. My trip was postponed due to bad weather

But the good news is, I'm not missing anything from this game. Sorry for the trouble.

piosenniel · 06-19-2006, 12:49 PM

The Sixth Wizard

It is now 6/19 - your SAVE of 6/15 needs to be filled in or deleted.

~*~ Pio, game moderator

Mithalwen · 06-19-2006, 01:32 PM

I had hoped for the saves to be filled first but I will post the Hama planning post tomorrow regardless - lost timeonight with powercut. And yesterday what was intended as a short linking post as a short post became a long one but at least Hama has now arrived... I have posted a save outlining what he will say so I hope that I am not holding anyone up. Hama (player) said that his delayed arrival was due to having to petition the king for permission to join the quest. This makes good sense since Hama's leave was up in his first post. Also I have assumend that there would have been a more formal system of bringing people to justice in Eomer's realm but the unusual circumstances - since currently this is a "family matter" mean that normal channels have been bypassed.

I have also assumed that there would be some record at Edoras of who holds lands where and have let clever Hama find out about Samuel's holdings to give a bit more certainty to the direction of the expedition. Hope this will be ok ..if not let me know.

Cordelia Harrison · 06-19-2006, 02:33 PM

Sixth - UPDATE PLEASE! lol. It would help me in my post.

The Sixth Wizard · 06-19-2006, 03:59 PM

Oops! Sorry, I was away for longer than I expected, will post now.

Sorry Cordelia! And sorry Pio! Heck, SORRY EVERYONE!!

<EDIT>

I should have posted longer, will do next time...

Cordelia Harrison · 06-19-2006, 06:27 PM

Oh I didn't mean to make it out like I was hounding you are something. I was just teasing you. Don't worry about it Sixth. I hope you like my post. I really liked yours. It made me giggle.

Crystal Heart · 06-19-2006, 06:47 PM

That's okay Sixth. At least you filled it in. And if quite cute too.

Has anyone seen Adu? And Leoflic? *crickets sound*

First person to come out of hiding gets a cookie and a trophy for being the fastest to come out of the wood work.

Sixth - you get the AWWWWness Trophy.

Once Mith's save is filled then I will be moving us on to the dawn. That is when we will embark upon the journey into the wood. Everyone got that?

Glirdan · 06-19-2006, 07:24 PM

OOO! I'm here!! Where's my cookie!?

I'm sorry I haven't been on lately. Exams have been taking over my life. But there is good news!! I'm done on Monday!! YAY!!

And I shall make a public apology to everyone for not fixing up my last post. As I said, exams are taking over. I will try and get back on track so please bear with me.

Cordelia Harrison · 06-19-2006, 07:36 PM

Yay! Leo is back!

Good luck with those exams.

Sounds good to me Crystal. Let's get this journey going! YEEHAWW!

Mithalwen · 06-20-2006, 02:43 PM

OK a bit short but it should get us on our way. I may tidy it a little tomorrow but no major changes. I think I have left scope for anyone else ot comment if they wish....

I may be out tomorrow evening (weather dependent) but you can all assume you were comfortably housed and fed and that Elfide was probably able to find any gear you needed in what ever the Rohan equivalent of the cupboard under the stairs is

. Only thing maybe I should mention in case you get going before I can post again is that Elfride will follow the other girls practical style of dress so her appearance will be a bit more relaxed.... and hopefully also her mood....

Oh this is exciting.... .

Crystal Heart · 06-20-2006, 09:59 PM

My save has been filled. Please post accordingly.

Has anyone seen Adu? (AKA Witch_Queen)

Cordelia Harrison · 06-21-2006, 08:59 PM

WOOT! We are off on our journey!

The Sixth Wizard · 06-26-2006, 02:29 AM

Hey everyone! Been away for a while, I don't think I can post tonight either, can you wait another day Cordelia? Hope you can keep my seat warm everyone!

Seeya

P.S Didn't the signature campaign start like a week ago??

Cordelia Harrison · 06-26-2006, 10:23 AM

Yeah I can wait.

Where are the rest of our group?

Glirdan · 06-26-2006, 08:06 PM

I'm finally done exams!! Yay!! So, starting tomorrow, I will be able to post more often! So, where is the rest of group?

The Sixth Wizard · 06-27-2006, 05:26 AM

Next post I think I'll stop making Garnae so gloomy. I mean, c'mon, he's just done the lovey-dovey thing and all!

Mithalwen · 06-27-2006, 02:02 PM

Probably won't be able ot fill my save til Thursday sorry ....lots of stuff going on...

Crystal Heart · 06-27-2006, 05:20 PM

Don't worry about it Mith!

Yay Glirdan! *hugs* You are finally done with your exams!

Has anyone seen Witch_Queen?

piosenniel · 06-27-2006, 11:06 PM

Please remember not to use smileys on your RPG posts or SAVES.

Thanks!

~*~ Pio

Mithalwen · 06-28-2006, 06:31 AM

Sorry.... serves me right for feeling smug about remembering to delete my sig...

BTW ... since it seems likely to turn into a "repetitive fault" and it won't be picked up by a spell check, could I mention that the things you steer horses with are reins and reigns is what the Queen does. Sorry, I misspent a lot of my youth around horses..

The Sixth Wizard · 06-29-2006, 10:09 PM

Aww nice post Cordelia I felt like I wanted to cry! (There goes the last trace of my masculinity.) I'll wait another day so the others can post a bit, don't want it to seem like a back and forth 'tween us two... AND I don't have much time...

Bye people!

Cordelia Harrison · 06-30-2006, 01:07 PM

Aww! Thanks Sixth! I'm glad you like it. I almost made myself cry when I wrote it.

I look forward to your post.

And where in the world is everyone else?

Glirdan · 06-30-2006, 01:22 PM

Trying to come up with a post...well, that's my excuse. I'll try and think up a post now and go post it...

Crystal Heart · 06-30-2006, 02:59 PM

You know I was about to ask that same question, but Cordelia beat me to it. lol

That's okay Glirdan. Take your time. But I would like to get us moving please.

List of people still MOA:

Witch_Queen- where in the world is she?
Mith - need to put in her save!
Hama - we know why though so it's all cool
Dim AKA Ehener- but then again he's already posted. just wanting to see if he's still alive.

Dimturiel · 07-01-2006, 03:49 AM

Who's he? Edhener? Yes, he's alive. As for Dimturiel, she's also alive, and she is just waiting for the others.

Sorry, but I couldn't help it.

Mithalwen · 07-01-2006, 04:05 AM

Sory will do to day .. haven't been able to get online as much..

The Sixth Wizard · 07-01-2006, 07:40 PM

Mith, how do you write such huge posts? I try so hard

its a real talent!

Erm, probably no time today sorry people...

Mithalwen · 07-03-2006, 06:14 AM

Nah it's verbal diarrhoea.. never have before ..I think RPG a non "historical" event has freed me somewhat....

Glirdan · 07-04-2006, 12:06 PM

Okay, got a post up. Hope you guys like it.

Mithalwen · 07-04-2006, 12:21 PM

I do like it but it would be easier for me if you slightly altered the last bit so he asks her the same question while they are riding along. I don't think i can do another flash back post since the group has moved off. I will slightly alter the end of my post to make that clear and I will push her hood back so her miserable face can be seen!!

Is that OK... ?

Glirdan · 07-04-2006, 01:19 PM

That sounds fine. I shall go alter mine as well.

Mithalwen · 07-04-2006, 02:10 PM

OK she is about ready for some friendly company now....

Glirdan · 07-04-2006, 03:04 PM

Okay, I'll go change it...as soon as I can that is...

Cordelia Harrison · 07-05-2006, 10:57 AM

*looks around*

Has anyone seen Sixth? I'm kind of sitting in limbo with my postie.

Glirdan · 07-05-2006, 11:01 AM

Nope, haven't seen him for awhile. But it's not just him who seems to be missing. Where's Crystal? And Dimutriel as well. Hmmm.... I'll give someone a cookie if they come out of hiding!

Crystal Heart · 07-05-2006, 12:15 PM

FINALLY!

I had to get my computer's hard drive rewired. It took FOREVER! And I had no way to get online to tell you all.

But I'm back now.

lol. Hey Glirdan can I have that cookie?

Alright people we really need to get this on the move now.

Glirdan · 07-05-2006, 01:20 PM

Okay, here's your cookie!!

Yay!!!

By the way, you took the words right out of my mouth, we really do need to get this moving along.

Mithalwen · 07-05-2006, 02:07 PM

And Hama should be back soon....

It shouldn't take too long in "Game time" to reach the edge of the woods even if they take it steadily a hours not days i think ...

Cordelia Harrison · 07-05-2006, 02:08 PM

True Mith.

*throws confetti*

IT'S ALIVE IN HERE!

So I'm thinking. . . someone should get hurt. Like physically. What do you all think?

Crystal Heart · 07-05-2006, 02:14 PM

Yeah it won't take very long, but we should get it going back up though since it's kind of been just sitting there for a while.

Thanks for the cookie! *eats it* YUMMY!!

Hurt? As in someone gets wounded? COOL! *ahem* I mean, that would be interesting.
