An Adventure of Hobbit Proportions Discussion Thread

My vote is going to be an extremely unhelpful

++do whatever seems best

Because I really don't know. I will be around 'til Christmas (even though I'm afraid I will be very busy so I can't write anything long) but then I will be more or less away 'til early January.

I can help in putting together something that moves this forward, that way those who haven't had the chance to post much can get something in.

I'm pretty free this week and next week and well into January I will be doing nothing with my time until classes start again. So, for a few weeks I can help push things forward if need be.

Ok I've got Boro's post.I will have it done by tomorrow. I am going to pull Peony and Tansy aside and chat a bit with them about the trip, then I will end it with Bunny and Tansy heading back to Tansy's to get ready (Bunny wants to leave early the next morning) I think then I can just post the post with just Boro and My posts. Unless Lommy you want me to send it to you while we are chatting and you can have us head back to your house. Whichever is fine by me.

Finduilas if you could start a pm post with Kitanna having you approach her after Tansy and Bunny leave about the trip, you can even send it to Boro and/or LMP and they can add the bits to bring you all into an agreement of leaving together the next morning.Then someone can post that. once we get all that done we can get Gwathagor into it as Bunny and Tansy get to Tansy's, and I/ we can bring us to the next day and have us all meet somewhere.

Can everyone do this?

I can do that. I will, of course, need to see your post first.

[littlemanpoet]

Happy to receive a PM post if it is deemed appropriate.

[Valier]

I have posted. Let me know if this works. If anything needs to be changed or added just let me know.
Finduilas does that work at the end for you? That should leave it open for Kitanna and you and LMP and/or Boro to get what is needed posted to get you all involved. Once you have that up we can get us to Tansy's via Gwathagor posting us arriving or Lommy or Myself getting us there.

[Gwathagor]

I'll post next, so Brown can be at the house before Tansy and Bunny get back. I would post right now, but I am doing some studying.

I hope it hasn't been a problem that I haven't posted very recently. I've been working on a large research paper that has been sucking up most of my creativity points.

[Valier]

It would work better Gwathagor if you waited till We have Funduilas and others post before you post having you meet Tansy and Bunny. Just wait till they get that up then go ahead.

[Gwathagor]

Will do.

[Finduilas]

Making a quick check, you girls just went outside, right?

Okay, I just wrote a full sized post about Mira hearing it and getting interested, so I'll post that, and sometime today will send another post to Kitanna by PM.

[Valier]

great post Finduilas!! Have you sent that pm post yet? We are so close I can almost taste it. LOL

[Finduilas]

Yes, we have started it. We are working on a conversation between Peony and Mira, so we are sending it back and forth a lot. Sadly, we are rarely on at the same time, but it is still coming on well.

[Finduilas]

Okay, Mira and Peony haved talked, and Peony has grudgingly decided to let Mira come, so what now? This conversation happened outside, so no one else heard it.

I was thinking that maybe when Peony and Mira go back in, we are heading that way, Rudy notices that Mira is excited, and maybe corners her and starts asking questions. (of course, not too violently )

So, should we (Kitanna and I) post our post, or should we send it to Boromir and Elempi?

[Valier]

discuss it between the 4 of you. whatever you choose is fine.

[littlemanpoet]

If your PM post is already long enough, and it feels finished enough, please do post it.

[Finduilas]

It's long enough, and works. So who should post it, Kitanna or me? (or is that 'I'?)

I just posted, and I don't know what your... rules? that's not the right word, for posting is. Does it mean anything to anyone? Should I delete my post, and have Kitanna post? Is it a trivial distiction?

[Valier]

I think the way you posted it is just fine. That was a very good post!!! So now we can get Elempi and Boro in on it, however you all want to finish up your dialoge shall be fine. How did you want to handle our arrival back at Tansy's Lommy and Gwathagor? Should me and Lommy post us there or Gwathagor did you want to bring us into your arrival post?

[Thinlómien]

I will leave to see some family/relatives on the 27th and will be back around New Year (or a bit later) and during that time I won't be able to get online. There's also lots of Christmas stuff before that so I really can't guarantee I can post before the first days of January. But if it's necessary, I can always try to find time on Christmas day or Boxing Day...

[littlemanpoet]

Looks to me like either Gwathagor or Kitanna could post next. Peony will need to tell Bunny and Tansy about Mira. Having Gwathagor come would complicate things aplenty, eh?

[Kitanna]

I could post next and have Peony rush after Bunny and Tansy to alert them about Mira joining the adventure. Then maybe Rudy can have a talk with Mira, thus bringing him into the adventure as well. Or something to that degree.

I probably won't be able to get on again until a few days after Christmas, but I'll see about having a post together in a few days.

[Gwathagor]

I would love to post whenever I am needed; just let me know. Or, alternatively, I could just post and then take it down if people yell at me.

Merry Christmas, one and all.

[littlemanpoet]

I'd say go for it, Gwathagor. Last thing we want to do is discourage folks from posting to the rpg.

Is Sephiroth still with us? We haven't heard from him in a bit.

[Gwathagor]

Righto.

[Valier]

Yes go ahead Gwathagor!! Post and have you arriving at Tansy's and what not, then if you like you can end it off with you seeing Tansy and Bunny arriving. I am sure we can put the conversations at Peony's after your post.

[littlemanpoet]

Great post, Gwathagor! It was fun reading over Brown's shoulder from Meriadoc's tome. Nice touch!

Might want to check this:

Ents are to trees what shepherds are to trees

[Valier]

Kitanna if when you have time, could have Peony stop Tansy and Bunny then proceed with what is need from your end to get more family members involved (Boro,Elempi,Fin) Then Me and Lommy can have us meet Brown.

[Gwathagor]

Many thanks for catching the mistake, LMP. I found some more errors as I went over the post again. I rather dash my posts off on the spur of the moment, and the result ends up being rather choppy now and then. Particularly if I've been listening to The Pogues...

To whoever: Will any one particular person be writing for Fred, or do we consider him public property for any writers whose characters interact with him?

[littlemanpoet]

I would suggest treating Fred as a non-player character, ready to hand for any writer who wishes to make use of him.

[Thinlómien]

I'm back. I should be able to write if I'm needed now.

Agreed.

[Valier]

Hi Lommy! nice to see you back. Happy New Year everyone!!! Now that the new year has started I would like to get this on the move. I would like everyone to check in here so I know whose available. I know a bunch of you are online frequently, but could you still post something here anyways.

Still need to hear from:

Boromir88
Elempi
Finduilas
Kitanna
Legate
Sephiroth
Gwathagor

[Finduilas]

Here.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Here, still here, always here, as soon as I am allowed/needed to post, I am available.

[littlemanpoet]

I'm here at least every other day, and ready to post as needed.

[Kitanna]

Here.

[Valier]

Ok so still missing is Bormir88, Sephiroth and Gwathagor.
I have talked with Boro in the last ww game, so I know he's around and Gwathagor has posted not long ago...so just Sephiroth....haven't seen him in awhile. Hope he's OK

So I think I need to read through the last few posts to figure out who needs to do what and when. I think though that Kitanna you can post having you run after Tansy and Bunny, then have us continue on our way. We can then post with Gwathagor, while the rest of you- Legate (sorry Legate I'm tryin to get us to you) post what you need to to get you all ready, then I will end the day and post a morning post having us leave for Peony's.

Yay!!! let's get started, I'm wanting to get into the RPG groove.

[Gwathagor]

Je suis ici. Let us proceed.

[Kitanna]

Ok, I can have a post of Peony chases after Bunny and Tansy by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. But more likely I can have it done in the morning, though it'll probably be pretty short.

[Thinlómien]

Valier, what do you think if I wrote a short post of Tansy and Bunny next? If I write it, would you like me to make the story proceed (if yes, what should I do? should I take us back to Tansy's place?) or would you prefer me writing just a short post about what Tansy thinks at the moment?

[Valier]

Go ahead Lommy and bring us forward. Have us arrive at Tansy's and hey even add a bit about meeting Brown, since I guess Tansy would know him.

[Thinlómien]

I wrote a post but I was faced by two difficult questions.
1) How mature is a 20-year-old Hobbit? I left it pretty vague but I'm interested if I've totally misestimated the thing. (Of course Tansy can have her subjective opinions but I think I, as her writer, should know which way they seem to be biased... )
2) Can a male Hobbit be referred to as "a man"? It didn't sound right, but what other word could I use?

Now you, Valier or Gwathagor can procedd, or if you think I left it to a stupid place I can write a few more lines, whatever you prefer, just let me know.

I think I'll say this once so I need not repeat it after every single post (which seems to be my bad habit in RPG discussion threads). You all can (and you have to) complain to me if I make your characters act uncharacteristically or write something about them that does not match at all. (Like if I make Tansy describe someone as a cheerful person but he actually smiles about once a year and never laughs or something like that.)
