OOC: the war for middle-earth

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

Hi i'm not going to start it yet, but it was an rpg that I started on another forum I know that lots of people enjoyed it but the nasty admin shut it down, so i am just asking if its possible for me to re-start it here, i see that your all good guys and i think you'll enjoy it too.

[doleniel]

I hope we can restart it here. . .

[thehobbitelf]

I realllllly reallllly hope we can! it was just getting good when stupid admin shut it down... please let us re-start it!

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

I'll wait for the moderator of this section to give us the go ahead i hope they do they'll like it.

[thehobbitelf]

maybe you should PM one of the moderators, I think maybe Fatty or Illuvatar.. I dont know if they ever look here

[Tirithel]

No need! I'm one of the moderators in this forum. If you didn't know, all the members with the little tree (mine is named Frankie lol)underneath their avatar are mods, and the mods in charge of each forum are listed at the top of the page. The other in charge of this forum is Dawnamira Nerwen, but she's been having computer problems and can't be around for a bit, so y'all are stuck with me. ;)

As far as permission goes, there's never really been any formal need to ask for it to start an RP, but since you brought it up, I need to know why this RP was shut down at the other site.

I'm thinking that as long as the content and the players stick to WotR's forum rules here within the story, there should be no problems. You can find a copy of them written out here:

http://www.warofthering.net/forums/vbulletin225/upload/announcement.php?s=&forumid=32

Otherwise, RP away! And as Dawn would say, don't forget to start an Out Of Character thread (OOC) for discussions, well, out of character. :p Any other questions feel free to ask! :)

PS: Welcome to War of the Ring!

[doleniel]

We were not shut down for any actual rule violation. The admin was setting up a more D&D type RPG system, where you have life points and strength points and that type of thing. You could not have any kind of storyline or character development with that system, only battles in two or three different settings. The admin decided that if we had the sophisticated battle system, then we did did not the story type that we were using, so he shut our RP down.

[thehobbitelf]

yeah and it was quite stupid that he shut it down because even if he was starting up that system, our RP was in the SPAM section, where the posts dont even count

[Tirithel]

Interesting...:huh:...never had a "spam" section here before, unless you count the games forum...no life points rules or anything here, unless you should wish to include them in your RP, which you've already established without., blah blah blah goodness I am good at talking myself in circles...

Alrighty then, since that's been cleared up, what's "The War for Middle Earth" about, like, details please! :)

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

I will tell you.

Its basically about a war in middle earth its separate to lotr, wether its happened or not is irrelevant, but basically middle-earth is about to fall to the powers of mordor and its allies. I basically wanted an rpg where evryone is in it together, so all the evil things have joined together and all the good races have joined together in a hope that that we can save Middle-earth, I 'll show you where we got to so far.

heres a little intro.
*The fires of Isengard are growing stronger, already saruman has taken Rohan forcing its people to flee into mirkwood, Lothlorien is on the edge of falling, men and elves have joined forces to fight back the enemy and many other races are starting to pull together for the same reason, the people of Gondor are desperately trying to regain their territiory in Minas Tirith and Osgiliath, the people have been forced to flee to lothlorian, The army of Mirkwood is marching to Lothlorian to assist Galadriels people in their fight for survival whilst Rivendell has opened up as a refuge base for the many suffering free peoples of middle-earth*

I think its best if we start again, instead of carrying on seeing as we weill have new players now.

*Legolas is in Mirkwood, in his fathers hall, also there is gandalf, aragorn and gimli, Thranduil has a grave look on his face*

[Tirithel]

Sounds cool, sounds cool, but you need a seperate thread in which to post Character profiles (who's playing whom and what that character is like, if clarification is necessary, ie for a character not already part of LotR) and discussions regarding the story as opposed to those actually in it. Might I be so bold as to suggest that this be the OOC thread (with the profiles and the like) and that you start a new one in which to begin the story?

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

yeah sure. thats a good idea., i'll start a character creation thread and then an rpg thread

[doleniel]

"Sorry," He whispers softly. "My hands, I know, they are rough." Rawien shakes her head. "No, well, yes...." She looks in his eyes and he suddenly looks so innocent. "But don't stop," Rawien whispers and Legolas raises his one eyebrow.

Do I need to start calling you Will Turner again? Really Leggy

[thehobbitelf]

LOLOL that's exactly what I was thinking when I read that :p

[doleniel]

And of course the three of us are the only ones who have read that conversation. . .

It was something on our other forum. Leggy has a bit of a Keira Knightley (sp?) obsession, so I started threatening to call him Will Turner.

[thehobbitelf]

Lol
which other forum? if it was TFF i probably know about it

[doleniel]

Yeah, it was TFF. I think it was in the obsessions thread. Or possibly the Tragic Flaw Anonymous one.

[thehobbitelf]

yeah one of those :p
well we all have our obsessions
mine- Johnny Depp and LoTR hehe

No one is interracting with me in this RP! bleh

[doleniel]

Well, nonne else is in Rivendell! I could start another character to play there, if you like.

[thehobbitelf]

Well i guess I could just go to where everyone else is at... where is everyone? I got lost with all the posts

[doleniel]

I'm fairly sure we've all started moving on towards Lorien.

[thehobbitelf]

oh alright... better start thinking then.. Thanks!

[Tirithel]

I personally see a lot of potential in keeping lots of locations moving. Granted, I've never been in an RP that has done so, but I think it may be cool to try. Cuz then perhaps at the end, we could all converge for one last stand and a grand end to our story. :idea: :huh: :)

And hey if you're looking for more characters, maybe you could contact some of the people that posted in the "Who wants to start a new RP" thread and invite them to get in on the action, ya know? Or just makeup another character for yourself, whichever floats your boat! :grin: Just don't spread yourself too thin...

[thehobbitelf]

I have one character, 2 at the most... i get confused easily :)

[Rawien Startraveler]

Who is playing Thranduil?

[thehobbitelf]

I don't know, I thought Leggy was

[Rawien Startraveler]

perhaps he is..

[thehobbitelf]

*dun dun dun*.. sorry the ".." after your statement just made me want to do that :p

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

well I figured that we can all fill in for characters that don't have a player.

Right now though rawien and Legolas need help or they are dead, and then all will be lost.

[thehobbitelf]

Well Telfëa just got the **** scared out of her she can bump into you guys and help you out, but she's only one elf.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

yes, we're going to need alot of help, lets just hope somone who plays a rivendell elf will come and help.

[thehobbitelf]

well I had started a character that was a Rivendell Elf, but I had Telfëa leave him behind... I could restart him up if that would help?

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

well i'm hoping that somone has remembered what Legolas said awhile ago, that Elrond had returned to Rivendell and had aroused his troops and was on his way to Lorien. Not many elves left.

[thehobbitelf]

hmm well I will just go with that since it doesn't seem anyone else is online at the moment.. Telfëa and Mithrandir are also coming with some Eagles

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

thats good because Legolas is about to die.

[thehobbitelf]

yeah I saw that, I'll make sure someone saves him or something prevents his death

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

that would be helpful.

[thehobbitelf]

its taking me forever to think this stuff up.. *stupid insomnia* im dead tired.. maybe I think better when I am tired though *hmm*

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

ok, that doesn't really make any sense, but then you are very small, lol sorry couldn't resist quoting from treebeard.

[thehobbitelf]

Lol.. i've watched that movie so many times this week... I can never get enough of it.. my mom has even caught my craziness because we watched the commentary to TTT and then the real movie and now she wants to watch the FoTR and then the commentary too it! hehe

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

your house is lotr crazy at the moment then.

[thehobbitelf]

only my mom and i... my two step brothers and my step that think its stupid

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

banish them!!!

ok we can stop playing for abit now, allow rawien and the others post, and then the battle can end in one way or another later on today.

this a good time for new players to come in, so if you know anyone whjo wants in let em in.

[thehobbitelf]

I think Glorfy from TFFis going to join but I'm not sure

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

that would be neat, there loads of people there that would probably really want to join but we can't advertise this site there., so we will have to rely on e-mails and the like.

[thehobbitelf]

yeah I PMed Glorfy and asked him, but I didn't tell him who I really was ill wait till he joins here.

hmm

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

I pmed him too.

[thehobbitelf]

Lol that's funny

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

so the elves pretty much look like they are going to put up a fair fight, then Rawien is going to get hurt by an orc and will be found by Lorien elves, whilst we go to the city, any more thoughts.

[thehobbitelf]

No im all out of thoughts for the day.. but your ideas sound good

[Tirithel]

Hey all, just want to remind you to keep the posts in this thread on the topic of the RP, and take the chit chat to the Pony. ;)

Thanks! :)

Dol, I'm waiting for you to answer. I think the current series of events is playing out something like you're talking to Culnaur, I walk up, Culnaur looks at me [Anorwen], Anorwen takes off, you finish talking to Culnaur and head over to me. At least that's what I got out of all of this. :huh: :)

Awaiting your reply! ;)

[Saruman]

If anyone's interested, I need someone to play Treebeard, who has rallied the Huorns against me. Are there any offers?

[doleniel]

Gotcha, Tirithiel, I'm in the process of thinking of something.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

I see we have a new player.

[Tirithel]

Who? Saruman? He's in the character thread already..hes' playing himself, ha ha ha...and I'm Eowyn as well as Anorwen...maybe that's why Rawien was confuzzled. Hmmm...

Saruman, if you'd like, I can play Treebeard. Ny only reservation is that if he becomes a major character in the story, I may not be able to do him justice, ya know? I'm beginning to feel like butter scraped over too much bread, if you take my meaning. ;)

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

no our new player just posted.

[heru-in-dûrnár]

ok i have introduced 3 nazgul into the story line and 2 orc commanders

correction: he has joined :p

ok, I posted my first post, saving Legolas of a certain death ;)
I thought, maybe I've met some of those eagles, and I have send my warriors to the city while I went to find Legolas... good/bad idea?.....

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

YES!! you here, well done, you guys are gonna love this guy, when you have a minute or so post glorfys profile the the character creation thread, thanks.

[Glorfindel]

okay... I'll look if I have my old profile somewhere, but it has to be on another computer, so maybe I takes a while :p

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

thats ok, I forgot to tell everyone that the rpg is completely separate to lord of the rings story so you can play characters that have died of you want.

[thehobbitelf]

well that's good because I was thinking about playing Boromir, but I wasn't really sure... I don't think I will but yeah.. i don't know what I am talking about :p

hey glorfy!

[Balrog X]

ok i don't get this at all can u help me plz legolas

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

right, well balrog, what you should do first is read what has happened so far, then, tell me what character you want to be, or if you are making a new one ask where you should come into it.

[Balrog X]

ok by way i want to be the balrog and which story do i read here or rpg

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

the rpg.

[Balrog X]

yes

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

it shouldn't take you long to read it, then you can post your characters profile in the creation thread, then join when it seems fit.

[Balrog X]

k but no-ones writin and i don't know when to drop in

[Glorfindel]

it's difficult to drop in know, while we are in Lórien. Drop in when the Big Battle starts, not sooner!

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

you will be with the armies of mordor, you haven't attacked yet, so you will post about your journey to lorien, the ring wraith will probably post later too,

[Balrog X]

k thank

which army 5000 or 400,000

[Glorfindel]

the biggest one: 700,000, if I'm not wrong

[Balrog X]

k i be one of the captins

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

yeah its 700, 000

[Balrog X]

is that the right sort of thing

[Glorfindel]

I suppose you mean: "okay, I'll be one of the captains"? remember not everyone is a native english speaker, and some may have problems to understand it.

And is what the right sort of thing?

[Balrog X]

sorry

[Glorfindel]

nevermind, but just keep it in mind not everyone speaks english very well (I'm the living example of it ;))

[Balrog X]

lol

is anyone else going to do anythin

[Glorfindel]

I've posted a flashback... now lets see the reaction of others.

[Balrog X]

nice

how do you take that then?

[Glorfindel]

what do you mean?

[Saruman]

If you're willing, I don't mind if you're Treebeard.

[Balrog X]

sorry dude

Got to go be back in about 15 mins

is anyone going to do anything

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

you have to give it time for others to post we can't rush into things.

[Glorfindel]

yes, like Legolas said, be patient! This is a RPG, with people participating from all over the world. You can't expect everyone posts at the same moment.

[Kenzie]

i was wondring if the character arwen was needed?
i've been reading the RPG, and last time i checked she was in Rivendale because her father set her in charge. I could develop this more maybe, and have her join in the battle, or somthing like that.

Whatever fits! i'm open to it!

[thehobbitelf]

can someone PLEASE tell me what has happened in the RPG? I'm sorry but my mom has been on the comp. playing bills all day and I haven't been able to get on. And I am way too tired to try and read this all *ugh* Im sorry

[Rawien Startraveler]

eh, a huge army is on its way to Lorien. 700.000 strong. How we're going to get out of this one I don't know... Rawien has been reunited with Legolas; the Vanyar has arrived in Lorien..

[Tirithel]

Kenz I have no clue who needs to play what...I'm pretty sure that this is open to anyone who wants to play...

Hey someone refresh my memory-- there's an army marching somewhere from Rivendell, yes? Who's leading it? Perhaps, Kenzie, you could work Arwen in there.

What sayeth the rest of the RP?

[Rawien Startraveler]

yes cool.. I'm still trying to figure out who's who... :) But I don't think the seat of Arwen has been filled.. Rawien could use Arwen to talk to...

[Glorfindel]

There's an marching from Forlindon too, I thought it could arrive to stop the 5,000 Orc-army. Is this allright?

[Balrog X]

am I still actually in the game or not and if so shall i wait for the battle to do anything or not?

[Saruman]

Tirithel, you need to see how Eowyn is getting on, Grima just pushed some food under her door.

[thehobbitelf]

Well that took me a good long 15 minutes to read all that had been posted since I posted last! Ish! Hopefully the going back to school and work will slow this down a bit!

hey Rawien- you and me get to hang out now in Lorien :p

[Kenzie]

okay sounds good to me! i'll head over to character creation right now.

[Rawien Startraveler]

looking forward to Arwen in Lorien.. and to hang out with Telfea.. :)

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

before the big battle in lorien, we can have all the characters meeting discussing what to do, that way we can see who is there or not, most people should already be in lorien by now, if not make sure your there quickly otherwise the baddies will get you.

[thehobbitelf]

im in Lorien.. and I finally am caught up with everyone! I was confused for a while

[doleniel]

I'm in Lorien, but I may be delayed shortly (see post in RP)

[Rawien Startraveler]

I'm stuck in a meeting in Lothlorien..

[Rawien Startraveler]

come on people, post!

[Silvorn]

Now, now, don't be hasty, Rawien; there are such things as school and work. I'm not going to compensate for lack of time by writing a half-hearted post. But don't worry, I'm positive others, along with myself will post soon when they find the time.

:thumbs: It is quality, not quantity, which I admire, fair lady.

[Rawien Startraveler]

lol... I know I know..

[Kenzie]

alright when do you guys want arwen to come.
while legolas is fighting, and you guys are holding council?
After the council?

[Rawien Startraveler]

I think she should appear at the council.. nice dramatic appearance..

[Kenzie]

sounds good to me! (thats what i was planning on doing, just wanted check with you all)
she'll be there soon!

[Rawien Startraveler]

you wrote that Elrond forbode her to go anywhere and if he sees her in Lorien.. boy hell will be loose...

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

well that can be when Arwen has a heated debate with her old man etc etc.

[Rawien Startraveler]

glad it's not me... feew.. elrond can seem a bit stiffy...

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

we're going to have to find out when everyone is going to be online so we can start the really big battle.

[Rawien Startraveler]

yeah.. let's make those in the us stay up late... hehe..

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

well not to that extreme but I mean when will everyone feel ready to start it.

[Saruman]

I can wait. I'll just send another 1000 orcs every day until the battle starts.

[Kenzie]

There isn't by any chance someone who would also like to play elrond as a little side character for this, is there? It would make it more interesting to have someone else's ideas thrown in there.

[doleniel]

BTW, I've been forgetting to ask, would someone mind playing a snotty relative of mine? I would do it myself, but it would be more interesting if someone else would, because then it throws some more variety in. The relative is the person who appeared at the end of my last post in the RP.

[Lady Melody]

Wel you guys had been busy while I was gone... Sorry, had work to do. I guess all the waiting for you guys to finally pick me up at Lothlorien..now I can post ^_^

Urmm... will be meeting you guys in Lothlorien. Morfae's quirky and kinda grumpy, so she doesn't really do much.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

keep on sending as many orcs and uruk hai(Strongest ones) as you can, we want to make it so it seems doubtfull that we are going to win the battle.

[Saruman]

With pleasure. :)

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

oh yeah do you guys know any people who'd be willing to play characters such as gandalf, theoden etc, there people will be needed in the battle, if we don't find anyone then we will all have to fill in.

[doleniel]

Hmm, dunno. Kenzie is picking up the relative, I think, so thats taken care of.

[thehobbitelf]

question! is Boromir dead or alive?

[Kenzie]

i think he's alive, cause it's not like this is going by the book or anything

so is there anyone who would want to play elrond temporarily for the whole fighty thing.

[Lady Melody]

Leave Boromir as dead. I don't think it's appropriate to resurrect him.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

What we should do if we don'y get anymone to play gandalf etc etc. is to post what our own characters is doing then underneath, what the other charcters are up to thet don't have any players, anyhow try to include other people in posts for example i could carry on with my convo with rawien and then underneath but meanwhile Theoden and Eomer walk through the city thinking about eowyn, because they are bound to of noticed that she is not there.

[Kenzie]

sounds good to me, will try! So basically all the main character people are here, right?

[doleniel]

Yeah, almost everyone is in Lorien.

[thehobbitelf]

im kind of confused as to where everyone else is... like where are Theoden and everyone else? Boromir? Faramir? I don't want to mess up and bring a character in who is actually no where to be found

[Kenzie]

i'm pretty sure everyone is roaming around in lothlorien. Eccept faramir i think is with the sick or survivors of gondor(he was with tirithrel's character last time i checked), and aragorn is smoking a pipe other than that i don't think the other characters have a set place.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

everyone is in the lothlorian area accept for those who play the evil ones and eowyn, rohan people and gondor people have fled to rivendell and are ready to fight, so this is why we need to get theres all involved, basically every good character is in lothlorian.

[Tirithel]

Right now Anorwen is among a bunch of Gondorian and Rohirrim refugees in Lothlorien. I posted that Faramir was among them as well-- sorry! I thought that was where everyone had fled...

I think it wouldbe more logical to have the people of Gondor/Rohan in Lorien anyways...it's a lot closer than Rivendell and at any rate, serves our purpose better. :rolleyes: lol

[Kenzie]

alright guys when is this council going to take place?
Maybe the next day in RP time?

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

yeah, the day after that the baddies are going to start their first attack.

[doleniel]

Ack, Kenzie, I thought you were playing my relative!

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

those of you that want to be in the council that aren't there, should get there soon, or it will start without you.

[thehobbitelf]

i'll be there soon... but I am trying to wait for Lady Melody to reply to my last post.. where is she?!

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

maybe you should send her a pm.

[Glorfindel]

Hey,
It's just an idea, but wouldn't it be the best if we would only post short posts during the Council? Because there has to be more interaction.........

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

yeah off course everyones going to need to have a say, but again evryone is going to have to play other characters aswellm such as theoden, faramir, gimli, denethor, eomer, etc etc etc frodo and company should be there aswell. and who has the ring? one of the man purposes of the council is to basically explain why what is happening is happening.

[Rawien Startraveler]

hope it's okay that Rawien's on a little off-road adventure.. I trust that Leggy and Glorfindel will speak for Rawien?

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

yeah, if you tell us what you want to be said.

[Rawien Startraveler]

Rawien's in on whatever has to do with keeping the ring safe and kicking some orc ***.. pardon my language..

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

we need to decide where the ring is.

[Rawien Startraveler]

okay.. then so be it. Well I would like Glorfindel to include Rawien in some catapult discussion if that's okay?

[Glorfindel]

Yes I'll mention it when I start about it.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

and remember people post for other characters aswell.

[Rawien Startraveler]

I've got this plot, with Legolas, to have Alvarel stab Rawien after the battle, as he tries to kill Legolas. But Rawien gets in the way.. she won't die though..

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

great plot, that can happen after the battle of lothlorian, before that, i want him to beat legolas up and nearly kill him, then just as we think he has ran away he comes back later and does what you've said.

[Rawien Startraveler]

Telfëa, don't kill Alvarel just yet! Legolas and I have other plans for him...

[Glorfindel]

Is my solution good? :) It was just a try.... :p

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

good good, well done people!!! :D

[Kenzie]

wow the council is finaly over! lol
as for the battle, i was thinking that Aragorn could be mistaken for dead on the plain(or in the trees i guess) or somthing along those lines. so perhaps during the battle someone could just mention in one of their posts that they witnessed him fall.

[Saruman]

Kenzie, I was toying with the idea of my soldiers taking you as a hostage, infuriating Aragorn.

[Kenzie]

okay sounds even better! lol
good ideas saruman!
so scratch my last post guys

[Tirithel]

Dol, what exactly are the healers up to? Anorwen's coming looking for ya!

Saruman: In my last post, I'm really playing off the fact that Grima loves Eowyn, so work with me here...;) This is gonna be awesome...he he he...

[doleniel]

Um, we are preparing for the battle, meanwhile Dol and Erulian are trying to avoid a minor fued (if Kenzie will oblige).

[Kenzie]

you start and i'll follow along, dol!!

[doleniel]

I've got a plan for him, later on in the battle. I'll PM you, everyone else will see later.

[Tirithel]

Are the healers actually going into battle? So sorry! I'm confused...that's what your posts sounded like. :huh:

[doleniel]

Well, people get injured out in the field, don't they? Some won't be able to get back to the hospital tents on their own and the others will need to fight, so there will need to be healers in the field to bring them in. Obviously, they will need to be able to fight so they can defend themselves. Sorry for any confusion!

[Rawien Startraveler]

to glorfindel: oh sorry.. my mistake! I totally screwed up with Glorfindel not being at the council.. so sorry.. ;)

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

ok people better get to battle stations all hell is about to break loose.

[Glorfindel]

Already took my position :p What if everyone has his own sector to defend? Is that a good idea?

[Rawien Startraveler]

Rawien's here! Hope my move is okay? She'll try to take care of some of the oliphaunts...

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

the ents will be turning up soon

any volunteers????

[Rawien Startraveler]

thanks, Telfëa for joining me in my noble crusade to destroy the oliphaunts.. ;)

[Rawien Startraveler]

Telfëa: I think that Legolas would control Alvarel for some scenes.. He's more brilliant at making him creepy than I am..

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

ok I will, you can be the one that smacks telfea on her head and knocks her out and then I'll have alverel semi kill Legolas in one of my posts, then alvarel and you can meet.

[Saruman]

Would it be possible for Saruman somehow to con Alvarel into his service, in a similar manner to that which he used for Wormtongue?

[Rawien Startraveler]

yeah, possibly.. that could also be a reason for Alvarel to attack Legolas in the end. So you're talking about something like Saruman promisses Alvarel that he can take Rawien as his prize?

[Saruman]

Exactly.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

that sounds good, maybe you could implicate after he attackes rawien, then that could explain his absense, then he can come back later on as a servant of saruman, well done people!! :D

[Glorfindel]

Okay, I talked to Legolas and we think it's time to end this battle. We still need some warriors to fight again, so we can't get everyone killed :p So... Maybe you remember (although I don't expect it ;)), but in one of my posts I said Alcareru, the twin of Aisteru, was gathering another army, west of the misty mountains. Now he arrived from the north, and to end this battle, we will charge from the woods, and crush the orcs between us the the riders from the north. Okay? :)

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

and remember peopl to includ in your posts the stories of thoeden etc otherwise I'm going to kill them off.

[Kenzie]

well don't kill everyone off... like maybe theoden, we should keep eomer though, we're going to need somone to lead the rohhirm.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

then we're going to have to fill in for them all.

[Glorfindel]

I have them in the lead of the final charge. Those who aren't neede anymore, can be finished off there.

[Rawien Startraveler]

oh I'd better go post a reply with Rawien.. lol

[Kenzie]

theoden's dead

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

LOM: Not everyone needs to post their reaction to Theoden's death, seeing as how not everyone would have been close enough to see it.

And threatening them with 'death' is not your choice...Only they should choose whether the character dies or not.

[Eomund]

I play Eomund and two chieftains of rohirrim and gondor: Osí⺠and Vorondil.

[Glorfindel]

Eomund, when you post in the RPG, make good posts. Not one sentence replies, they are really annoying!

[Glorfindel]

Agh... stupid 15 minutes-edit :p

By the way Eomund, you can't come from Gondor and/or Rohan; both have been taken by the enemy.

[Eomund]

i know, i know, point is that the scattered last men there and leader is me, and i know that i make such pointless posts !!!

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

you need to go and post your charcters profile in the creation thread.

[Glorfindel]

Eomund and emissaries climbed on the highest tree of Caras Galadhon and there they met Galadriel. "What do you wish?"she said. "We wish to help you in your war! We shall help you!" said Eomund. Vorondil and Osí⺠nodded. "We will need to see Saruman and his servants!" Osí⺠said now. "I will show you for it is seen even to here. Before the night we will be attacked!" replied Galadriel. Osí⺠said now : " And we will be ready to challenge him even if we die!"

Eomund, that's better already ;):p But erm.. I don't know you noticed, but we have just ended the Battle, and defeated our enemies (for the moment). It is not likely there will be a new fight on this moment.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

yeah the enemie would be running away to re-group, we have to leave lothlorian soon and go to edoras, but thats not for a while yet.

[Nibinaraniel]

um, no one seems to care about my character! She is poisoned, ya know!!!!!! Legolas should vaguely remember her, I mean, she is his sister......... Poor Nibinaraniel!

[Kenzie]

Aragorns gone to her rescue... sry.. he was kinda proccupied before :blush:

my character is actually arwen, i'm just playing the part for aragorn because we need more people to play these characters. So anyone can feel free to control him... i just needed him to portray arwen giving hope, and to point out that she's missing. but now it seems i'm kinda stuck with him doesn't it lol

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

advertise the rpg, force..I mean persuade others to join and then we'll get lodsa players.

[Kenzie]

i've added somthing to my signiture... could barley fit it though lol
that may help at least a little.... it's a start!

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

lol well done, remember the rpg needs you!

[Glorfindel]

Not too much. Because how more players there are, themore complicated it is. With too much players it isn't fun anymore. To my opinion we have more then enough players now.

[Glorfindel]

pff... again the 15 minutes - thing...

After a look into the sky she was frightened and said again: " Eomund, you said that on the night Uruk's attack. Then until then it is two hours!"

NO battle yet. Okay? This really isn't the moment. The last battle has just ended!

[Eomund]

aaargh cant uruks attack all the time???????

[Glorfindel]

No. That woud be a bit strange, no? We have just defeated them, with great losses. We almost couldn't manage their last army. And then suddenly another army would show up? "We" have suffered great losses and can't fight now. It's not logical for our enemies either.
And if you would have read the OOC a few posts back, and the RPG you would know.

[Eomund]

okay, and for your knowledge i brought over 200 soldiers to Lorien.

[Glorfindel]

*wonders where on earth those soldiers came from.... considering all lands being captured and destroyed*

:)

[Kenzie]

oh by the way.. i took that thingy out of my sig... i supose we have plently of people to make up for the other characters.

and eventually... after the war (or majority of battles) is over, i'm going to need a few volenteers to go with Aragorn to Harad to find Arwen.... post it here if your interested or pm me

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

lothlorian crew will be off to reclaim their lands in the not too far distant future, if you like, we could grab her back when we take isengard., unless saruman is keeping you with him.

and Eomund, the people that mandged to escape rohan and gondor are in lothlorian or rivendell, everyone else perished, why don't you post a flash back post explaining how you escaped, boromir was killed in the attack along with thousands of others.

[Eomund]

Understood and Kenzie i would like to be a part of that. Soon that flashback will come!!!

[Kenzie]

well she's not with with saruman any more... or in isengaurd. by the time you guys get back rohan and gondor she'll be in Harad.

I was figuring that after the lands were reclaimed Harad would be weakened. so aragorn, and whoever chooses to follow will go into Harad and destroy their leader. (thus rooting out the evil and corruption of Harad) and take back Arwen.
Or somthing along those lines.

[Eomund]

And maybe should The Varyags of Khand be somehow interrupted. Also what forces does Saruman have???

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

kenzie thats a good idea, i'd imagine that eveyone one on me would want to destroy him.

[Eomund]

Yes and then maybe if someone agrees to go further east and destroy all evil with also Pirates of Umbar!!!

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

they will all be there in the final battle on the slopes of mount doom, when the ring is detoyed most of the evil will be gone.

[Eomund]

again on mount doom? will harad be before it or after? Better if before because then all troops could fight; some with Mordor and some with Harad. two in one!!

[Saruman]

What I was thinking was that the next main battle wold be the siege of Isengard (unless you want me to make another attack first?). When Saruman loses hope, he can either flee, or be offered a chance to repent (which he refuses as happens in the book).
After this, the heroes destroy Mordor, but then I would like for there to be something similar to the Scouring of the Shire, in which Saruman industrialises a once rural area.

[Eomund]

look at my last post. Maybe we should make that Sauron is destoryed first and all forces have gone to destroy him and on return every realm is destroyed. None alive Orthanc rebuilt, Saruman taken all realms. Then last ones alive should go to the refuge of Helms Deep and there a siege against thousand uruks.

[Kenzie]

the seige of isengaurd sounds good...
would that include taking back rohan and gondor?

oo and the scouring of the shire will be good, i was mad that they took that out of the movies!

[Saruman]

Do you mean that Mordor should be confronted before Isengard?

[Eomund]

yes for on that time you could gain power! which kind scouring as i thought that it would be scouring of the Western Middle-Earth or as only Shire.

[Saruman]

I mean a scouring similar to the one that happened at the end of the last book.

[Eomund]

Oh but on what territory. only the Shire would be bad for there is the whole western ME fallen.

[Saruman]

I see what you mean. Could I make it seem that Saruman has already industialised much of the west of middle earth, and has it under his control then, or is that being a bit too powerful?

[Eomund]

bit too powerful, why are there challenges

[Kenzie]

yhea i'd say it's too powerful. plus saruman would need the inhabbitants of the place to really industrialize it. (like slaves and all) And all the survivors, are in lothlorien i belive.

[Eomund]

no, if you mean those ones im going to call. those are refuges of numenor that have lived on that island for years. noone on me knows them and they havernt got any news from it.

[Kenzie]

well yes, excluding them, i was talking about rohan and gondor. ;)

[Eomund]

Did you read my italic text??????? lol lol lol

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

remember, once sauron is destroyed so is all his power, Saruman will only have those faithful to him under him, which is why in the book he went to a tiny place like hobbitton

[Eomund]

yes, but Saruman is more powerfuller than Sauron and now he could command the hole Western Area. Hey Sauron has only his Orcs and few Haradians!!!!

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

yes but sauron is cunning, saruman maybe powerful at the moment, thats all I'm saying, we'll have to wait and see what happens.

[Eomund]

okay, agreed , also make that someone comes with me to the desperate journey!

[Saruman]

Actually, it's the other way round. Saruman is more cunning, Sauron is more powerful. At the moment, Saruman is trying to steal Mordor's allies, and he has succeeded with half of Harad. Sauron's still got the other half, the Easterlings and the Black Numenorians. Saruman also has Dunland and the Misty Mountains, though, which makes them almost equal.
Does anyone mind if I steal Umbar as well?

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

ok well in that case, then it might be possible that saruman wins over mordor, it would be good if if in the fianl battle there is also a civil war going on between saruman and sauron.

[Saruman]

So it would end up with the Free Peoples versus Sauron versus Saruman. I like that idea.

[Saruman]

But I also like Eomund's idea. Either is fine by me. I just don't want to end up like movie Saruman and disappear completely. lol

[Nibinaraniel]

Woudn't Saruman be a bit upest at the fact that Nib made it to Lothlorien? I mean, he told her all of his plans...... Or at least the important ones. And shouldn't there be a squad out looking for her? Just curious!

[Eomund]

Oh yes, Saruman make that on the tenth day there aare all orcs of moria in Nanduhirion. There troops of Lorien face them. Orcs should be about ten thousand. and all men of lorien and thren i shall destory them with my new troops.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

don't worry about that, we'll make sure you have an epic ending.

[Glorfindel]

Eomund, look. If you want to post something heraldic, fine. No problem. But erm... there is one small problem: you go south with twohundred riders. You pass Isengard, which is packed with Orcs and other enemies. You cross the lands, which are packed with Orcs. You reach the Grey Havens, which are under siege and surrounded by heaps of Orcs. And that without any losses, with only twohundred riders?!?! Think with a bit more LOGIC!
I've no problem with you going to get more warriors, but do it on a serious way, and not like you're doing now!! Sorry, but to my opinion, that's ruining the storyline. :angry:


No offence.
-Glorfindel


ps: How many warriors were you thinking to bring with you? May I remind you that Himring is a very, very tiny island!

[Eomund]

Sorry, Glorfy but i asked whayt realms are under siege!!! Noone replied tom me! How could i make it better????

[Glorfindel]

Maybe by looking in the thread! If you don't make the effort, it doesn't surprise me you don't know what's happening.
And positioning the soldiers on the eight day? Thne how fast do you reach the havens? Do you have a plane or what?

[Eomund]

A pan, read my posts with Saruman. I will come on the eighth day through Moria and all orcs shall come before me. Then in Nanduhirion will all elves supposingly wait! YOu must say that tthey are in it! Besides why arent you plain' a part in it???

[Glorfindel]

I've read them. What should they tell me? How it is possible for you to reach the Havens, sail to Himring, return to the continent and march to a battlefield in only eight days? May I remind you that just to go to the havens you need weeks?
And I'm not taking part yet because I haven't the time now to write (good) replies.

[Eomund]

I rode quickly, with a mearas!!! So did my soldiers!!! (Dont ask how did hundred men get mearas'). Then I came to the dwarves and those ships are with magnificent speed!!!

BTW!!! I went withj hundred men, and you should know it if you wouldwe read my posts.

[Glorfindel]

Actually, I will ask how your men get the horses. Because that' something you can't ignore. And even with a Meara it will cost you days to reach the shores.
And ships which sails a few thousand miles in only a few days? Nice. Very nice.

Okay, then make it hundred. A small mistake. It doesn't make the story going crazy, does it? Because I only wrote it in the OOC thread.
And again, write WOULD HAVE or WOULD'VE and not Wouldwe... it's getting disturbing.

[Eomund]

Few thousand?????? Winds of Mänwe!!!!!!! lol

Okay, agreed with the writing

[Glorfindel]

Windsof Manwë? Then I think your ships will break in the storm. And yes, it's a long distance on sea.

[Eomund]

Great ships of silvan gifted to cirdan and he gave those to us!!!! lol

[Glorfindel]

*sigh*
You don't get it, do you?! Just realise it's IM-POS-SI-BLE to do what you want to do. Every person with the smallest amount of knowledge will agree with me.

[Eomund]

I cant agree with you for that should mean that i need to correct my messages!!! OKAY WILL DO HOPEFULLY!!!


BTW: How can Gandalf do whatever he does????

[Glorfindel]

Because Gandalf is a wizard. And as far as I know, Gandalf hasn't done anything special yet in the RPG.

You can't agree because you don't want.... **whacks himself**

[Eomund]

Okay, how could i make my messages correct but still, saruman already also set his plans as i wanted. HALT, im checking map.

Could you agree 1,5 days to Grey Havens
there to sail 1,5 days with perfect wind to Himling

Say what you think???

[Saruman]

The moria orcs can take as long to prepare as you want. I deliberately said 'as soon as possible' rather than 'in ten days' for that reason.
