Lucillia chuckles.
You say, 'Not that there'd be any reason to hide here anyway =P'
Sigald says, 'It's cool, just was looking around for you and didnt see you until I looked at my flank.'
Aellwen says, 'lol'

Aellwen says, 'so we all form a circle and get a big group hug going or something?'
Finleigh says, 'No upstairs!'
You say, 'ICly Randirim Hall is open to anyone and everyone, providing they're not making trouble. There's also the website at library.randirim.org that's there to store all of Landroval's RP and lore'
Lucillia says, 'lol,'
Sigald says, 'Hi, My name is Sigald, and I'm not an alcoholic, because that's for quitters.'
Finleigh says, ':D'
Aellwen says, 'haha'
Lucillia says, 'xD'
Lucillia waves to Lokath.
Aellwen says, 'AA is for quitters!'
You say, 'and he enjoys long walks on the beach'
Lucillia faints dead away.
Lokath says, 'Hey, I enjoy lang walks on the beach, too! Morning, all.'
You say, 'howdy'
Sigald says, 'Yo Lokath.'
Lucillia says, 'oh pie!'
Lokath says, 'Long walks. Long. I can't spell.'
Finleigh says, 'long walks are overrated =P'
Aellwen grins
You say, 's'all good'
Wickit hails Lokath .
Lucillia drools a little.
Lokath says, 'I just ate pie IRL!'
Lokath says, 'Apple pie!'
Finleigh drools a little.
Lokath says, 'Okay, I feel so odd saying 'IRL' without (())s.'
Finleigh says, 'heh'
Sigald says, 'Speaking of Lang. Where is the fearless leader? ::looks in corners::'
You say, 'I know the feeling'
Lucillia says, 'haha idk, she said she'd be here :s'
Lokath says, '~_~'
Aellwen I won the festival run!

Sigald cheers at Aellwen.
Lucillia says, 'xD'
Sigald is eating Subway, and it are tasty.
You sit.
You say, 'not so!'
Aellwen says, 'couldn't do that in Bree, I always lag'
Lucillia says, 'lol'
Aellwen says, 'lol'
Olmandis says, 'wowbonics...'
Floaty names are now OFF.
Lucillia gasps
Aellwen says, '*sends everyone to the oxhorn wow video called roflmao!'
Lokath points at Temima.
Lucillia says, 'O.o haha'
Temima says, 'what'
Lucillia says, 'other room probably this place is BIG'
You say, '=P'
Lucillia ponders
Aellwen says, 'hmm odd scouti didnt show up'
Aellwen says, 'I would of expected her here :P'
You say, 'shall we get down to business then?'
Lucillia says, 'ya, it was -her- idea :| lol'
Lucillia says, 'yeah, why don't we =)'
Aellwen says, 'yeah'
Aellwen says, 'hey no Rasksha either!'
Aellwen says, 'haha'
Lucillia says, 'we're logging this anyway so...its okay if they don't show right away/at all. =P'
Esslar chants the ancient binding circle ritual of collaboration
Lucillia says, '=P would be a good idea..hehe'
You say, 'Yeah. I'll post the log up on the forums and LoR just to be on the thorough side'
Lucillia drops Lokath's muffin on the floor...
Aellwen says, 'that's better than his last plan. Which was get muffins, and attempt to deliver them to the girls locker room'
You say, 'or at least I'll post my log on LoR, not sure if you wanted to post your own on the forums =)'
Sigald sits down.
Wickit sits with Temima.
Lucillia says, 'well, if you do the lotr forums, I'll just do the redwolds and whoever doesn't get it from you =P'
Olmandis says, 'ah good, i was gonna try to figure out how to tsave the majority of the posts for random curious parties, but better someone else do it. As that someone else is invaraibly not me, and crap, im lazy.'
You say, 'fair enough =)'
Lucillia says, 'hehe olman'
You say, 'So what's the plan?'
You say, 'We all just go around the room, introduce ourselves, tell a bit about our (IC) situations, and then jumble in random commentary from everyone else?'
Olmandis says, 'I just kinda realized anyone who was gonna lead this manner band in discussions is uh...not here.'
Lucillia says, 'Hm, well, I figured we could try to see where our stories could connect. Like how the Redwolds need people to rob on the highways and what not >:)'
Olmandis says, 'Hoooorray, planning. Oh well. What? No hobbit keg? Prioritize, man!'
Lucillia starts crying.
Lucillia says, ':P'
You think about what's next.
Alphlin says, 'I'm new to this whole rp thing >_>;'
Alphlin says, 'excepting chat rooms and forums'
Olmandis says, 'No worries there, not much to it.'
Lucillia stares at wicket
You say, 'We could always devise imaginary NPCs for the purposes of highway robbery, and then x-protagonist could show up and (possibly?) foil/interfere in the dastardly plot'
Aellwen says, 'Well right now, my kin is taking it easy. We just had back to back drama RP stories (paper, Rasksha getting elected and one of the char's having a tragedy happen)'
Lucillia says, 'haha, we could do that ..wouldn't mind real folks too now and then. Like if anyone does carvaans or something.'
Aellwen says, 'so not sure where the kin's story will pick up at. My own story though, I am planning to have Aellwen get a nice knock on the head by the redwolds to lose her memory'
Aellwen says, 'oops'
Lucillia says, '=x'
You say, 'darn that pesky amnesia'
Wickit sits down.
You say, 'we might be able to hook that in to Tootlab after a fashion. Maybe Redwolds try and snag their shipment of beans from the south?'
Lokath shushes Esslar.
Lucillia says, 'haha sure!'
Lucillia says, '=x'
Lucillia gives Sigald a hard stare down.
Lokath gives Sigald a hard stare down.
You say, 'So who'd step in and get our java back?'
Olmandis says, 'that was kinda eerie with whole...emote thing..k..continue'
Lucillia says, 'Well, those ranger types maybe...'
Olmandis says, 'it might behoooove us to maybe kinda take an inventory on the affiliations we all might have..ranger...bandits...ruggedly goodlooking dwarf...ect.'
Lucillia says, 'Yeah'
Sigald bows deeply.
Sigald sits down.
You say, 'sure thing, have at =)'
Lucillia raises hand. "Is a rascally brigand."
You say, 'don't all talk at once now'
Lokath cheers at Finleigh.
Finleigh beams
Lucillia says, ':) welcome welcome'
Aellwen says, 'ya welcome!'
Temima says, 'Are we going to start?'
Lucillia says, 'xD'
Aellwen says, 'we already have Tem'
Aellwen says, 'hehe'
Olmandis says, 'Sigald Freud, everyone.'
Lucillia says, '=P should we get him on that one chair?'
You say, 'I think We're waiting on people to tell us the nature of their kins so we're all on the same page'
Olmandis says, 'Well, we can go in circles, as well, individual first, kin second...ect.'
Sigald says "Tem, can you hear says over there?"
Temima says, 'I guess not.'
Olmandis says, 'if applicable, i have no idea what my kin is doing at...any moment, truth be told, so, hey.'
Temima says, 'or I can cause you just said something'
Temima says, 'Have I missed something?'
Olmandis says, 'actually theyre prolly asking where the hell theyre tank is...but...eek...moot point.'
Aellwen says, 'lol Olman'
Temima says, 'well crap I haven't seen one thing'
You say, 'I've got Esslar, Garaf, and Pellinor. The first two are in the Randirim, which I introduced earlier. Pell's in Tootlab and lives over at the Tavern'
Esslar hands the intro stick to the left
You say, 'Tootlab = The Order of the Leaf & Bean, the coffeecrew kin'
Sigald claps for Lokath.
Aellwen says, 'hehe'
Sigald sits with Lokath.
Lokath sits with Finleigh.
Morelle has won the Festival Run, three cheers for Morelle!
Aellwen says, 'I think he's afk?'
Sigald requests everyone take several steps to the center.
Alphlin says, 'o_o okay. I'm a raft-elf from Mirkwood, I do trading. was in the battle of 5 armies (shocking! I know) and that's pretty much all I've determined. =3 ooc I'm here to get over my fear of rping'
Aellwen says, 'oh there we go'
Alphlin says, 'nooo I just can't type. TT_TT'
Sigald sits down.
Wickit sits down.
Lucillia says, 'hehe'
Aellwen says, 'hehe'
Alphlin says, 'also next person'
Finleigh sits down.
Alphlin says, 'aww, thanks. X3 that might help'
Sigald says, 'We don't bite, much.'
Wickit says, 'Temima next, since she got skipped.?'
Lucillia says, 'x] haha'
Alphlin sits down.
Lucillia says, 'okay'
You sit.
Lokath sits down.
Lokath gestures Temima forward. 'Don't worry. We don't bite. Unless you ask nicely.'
Wickit says, '::nods::'
Sigald claps for Temima.
Sigald sits with Temima.
Aellwen says, 'I didnt hear a thing'
You say, 'neither did I'
You say, 'try again?'
Aellwen says, 'yep'
Aellwen says, 'heard ya that time'
Temima says, ''Oh. Well my character's info is in her bio too. But, she's in her kin for protection after being enslaved in a storyline for 100 years and has a broken spirit that is torn between her heritage and jaded heart from being beat for so long.'
You say, 'there we go ^^'
Temima sits down.
You sit.
Temima says, 'Now akward.'
Temima says, 'How*'
Lucillia says, 'Okay..guess I'll go... ::starts to type:: =P'
Sigald says, 'Too bad we don't have addons, I'd work up a range/los addon for rp ranges XD.'
Lucillia says, 'Luci hails from the Dale. She only really lived there as a young child though before moving to a coastal village near Gondor with her father who was something of a traveling armorsmith. When she was about 10 her village was attacked by umbar corsairs...and'
Lucillia says, 'not to spill much more but her village was masscured and she was raised by the corsairs ...=P'
Lucillia sits down.
Sigald says, 'Arrr?'
Lucillia says, 'indeed =P'
Sigald grins.
You say, 'yo ho, a pirates life for... her =P'
Lucillia says, '=P aye, I was goin' for unique ::cheesy grin::'
Temima says, 'next slip and she be dancin with the likes o' jack letch'
Aellwen says, 'lol who's next?'
Temima says, 'ketch*'
Wickit says, 'you'
Aellwen says, 'ok'
Sigald points at Aellwen.
Sigald sits with Aellwen.
Aellwen says, 'not sure as I said, where my kin's story will be going, since we are taking a laid back approach'
Lucillia says, 'Oh, and I joined the Redwolds for reason you'll have to find out on your own..nah nah ..okay next'
Aellwen says, 'however my character is from Bree-land, lost her parents to brigands/bounty hunters'
Aellwen says, 'my storyline I am planning to get her a nice knock on the head curtesy of the redwolds to get amnesia'
Aellwen sits down.
Arion I am Arion, paragon of virture and all around nice guy. The Elentiri have based most of what we are doing in Tinnudir and now, perhaps, Esteldin. If anyone/any kin are interested in doing some rp in those areas, look us up. Arion is probably the only+
Wickit says, 'wow...all ready and waiting!'
Aellwen says, 'whoa! Arion had his pre-typed! well done!'
Lucillia claps her hands.
Lucillia sits down.
Olmandis says, 'Wow, fancy, pressures on...who next, aw crap...'
Lucillia says, 'hehe'
Wickit says, 'one sec..he's got mroe'
Wickit says, 'more, too'
Aellwen says, 'yeah, he types like he is singing the song of the world, so get comfortable folks :)'
Temima says, 'all of our typoes will be applied for all to see too'
Lokath says, 'typoes?'
Sigald says, 'That's one thing we should discuss, especially for the newcomers, some of the rp formatting traditions and symbols that are common?'
Lucillia says, '=P if its not to long, I'll correct em xD'
Temima says, 'oh good'
You say, 'Well aside from OOC/IC what would you want documented?'
Arion +Elentiri who is concerned with what hapens in and around Bree.
Sigald says, 'I'll bring it up again in a bit once intros are done.'
You say, 'We could toss out the whole pipe thing, like if I wanted Garaf to be here I could type:'
Esslar | Garaf glowers the table into submission.
Wickit says, 'One more intro....Olmandis, you have the floor.'
Aellwen says, 'well done Arion!'
Sigald salutes Arion.
Esslar nods
Sigald sits with Arion.
Olmandis says, 'Righto. Yah, well, kinda in fitting with the fellowship aspect, I consider this character a befuddled, by once prominant ambassador. It takes a gentle hand for one to talk to elves, prefably one that isn;t incline to strangle them.'
Wickit says, '::grins::'
Sigald says, 'That's cool. Not enough folks keep up with the animosity there.'
Lucillia says, ':) yeah'
Aellwen says, 'definitely'
Esslar does =)
Lokath says, 'Grrr. Elves.'
Aellwen says, 'he probably feels like strangling tem then :P'
Temima says, 'Try it.'
Aellwen says, 'lol'
Temima says, '-smile-'
You say, 'who wouldn't?'
Lucillia says, 'Wagers anyone? xD'
Olmandis says, 'Same with the aspects of combat, glory faded, but mind sharper than appears, heh. I am certainly not a student of Tolkien, shall we say, but there alot of elements here to work with, combat, and not so combative, and I think were seeing alot o that here.'
Sigald chuckles.
Alphlin says, 'o_o wait, strangle...'
Sigald cheers at Olmandis.
Lucillia says, 'hehe xD'
Sigald sits with Olmandis.
Aellwen says, ':)'
Sigald says, 'Someone oil Arion's armor so he can sit?'
Aellwen says, 'well done Olman'
Wickit says, '::grins::'
Lokath says, 'Someone get Arion some CLOTHES.'
Olmandis says, 'I was kinda curious, was talking to Tem earlier today, and we were kinda unsure what folks wanted outta rp, but i think we definatly have some like-minded folks here.'
Aellwen says, 'I saw a rare sight last night, Arion was in regular clothes!'
Alphlin says, 'yay Dwarven rivalry though. XD; *blames it all on the Dwarves, though, of course*'
Lokath says, 'Whoo! I convinced him!'
Lokath cheers.
Wickit says, 'He looks funny in clothes...I mean....normal...cloth clothes....oh, hush, you know what I mean...'
Lokath sits down.
Aellwen says, 'lol'
Lucillia says, 'hehe'
Lokath says, 'I think he's the most serious on ehere.'
Olmandis says, 'Try the dwarven clothing...its like something the monkey of a hurdy gurdy player would wear...tre chiq.'
Wickit says, '::whispers:: probably relaying secret information to his kin....sneaky devil'
Lucillia blinks, "Where's that token non-rper??" winks at Sigald.
Lucillia says, '>.> but yes he's a rep for his kin'
Sigald types a really long emote blah blah blah and some extra stuff and then starts to run out of space but how do you indicate that you plan to continue in the next emote? Why, you insert a symbol when you run out of space, usually a + or ~ or -
Sigald then picks up where he left off in the next one.
Wickit says, '::nods::'
Lucillia says, 'lol, exactly'
Esslar points out the ellipses is great for that.
Sigald nods.
Sigald is talking, but wants to say something after the actions, so he say. "Something." in quotes.
Wickit says, 'Also, some folks use /e that contains dialog, while others separate the two.'
Lucillia says, 'And of course we have the various forms of OOC indicators (()), [[ ]], { }'
Sigald says, 'Basically anything in brackets works for OOC'
Lucillia says, 'yup'
You say, 'and you can enunciate something by putting -- marks around it, such as -this!-'
Wickit says, 'or /this/'
You say, 'but seldom THIS'
Wickit says, 'or I've seen *this*'
Olmandis says, 'aaah, yes, the mid post action. * *'
Aellwen says, 'so what's next?'
Sigald says, 'Sometimes you want to say something in another language, but indicating that in emotes can be irritating for long conversations.'
Lucillia says, 'welll only THIS if your shouting really loud'
You say, 'yeah, but the hazard there is encasing something in * usually denotes an emote/action'
Olmandis says, 'Well, was thinking about the whole...rp downtime vs rp in the feild, or adventuring.'
Sigald says, '~S~I think that perhaps this works for indicating Sindarin?~S~'
Wickit says, '::nods::'
Lucillia says, 'Thereis also [Sindarin] blah blah'
You say, '~Q~ for Quenya, ~K~ for dwarvish?'
Alphlin says, 'what about if you speak the unnamed Wood-elf/Avari dialects?'
Aellwen says, 'hmm thing with Dwarvish, no dwarf ever speaks it out in public of other races'
You say, 'not that dwarves would ever speak their language in public, but still'
Wickit says, 'And, if you want to tell someone something in a whisper, you typically do this:'
Wickit leans over and whispers to Sigald.
Wickit says, 'then I send him a tell'
Olmandis says, 'Thats the thing, me either, heh. I've seen a few kins interested, Elentiri the front runner.'
Sigald leans over and listens, nodding.
Wickit says, 'or sign language.. ::grins::'
You say, 'Wood-elves (Silvan) are part of the Sindar and therefore speak Sindarin'
Alphlin says, 'they had their own dialects among themselves, though, so I was wondering if it ever came up'
You say, 'Avari are so rare at this point that you'd probably never meet one, but they'd likely speak some variant of the original tongue, neither quenya or sindarin but something close to both'
Sigald says, 'You can indicate dialects/accents in the spelling, or state it in an emote, but it's probably not worth typing each time?'
You say, 'Less of a dialect and more like an accent =)'
Sigald says, 'One sec, someone dropped dishes.'
Lucillia says, 'yeah, which you could add in the describiton of how your char talks'
You say, 'it would be if you're in a public space, probably'
Wickit says, '::grins::'
Aellwen says, 'heh well Aell has an accent of her own, which I refer to as combe accent'
You say, 'if someone walks up to you in the middle of the Pony it'd probably be good to make it easy for them to recognize what you're speaking'
Aellwen says, 'those who spoke to me IC before know the accent :)'
You say, 'Oy, ol' Pell's got 'mself a right good ol' thick accent, whot? =)'
Lucillia says, 'oh theres langley! (just signed on) xD'
Lucillia says, 'yeah but still understandable'
Alphlin says, 'naw, it's not important. D= I was just wondering. I was pretty sure I read that the wood-elves spoke a non-Sindarin tongue amongst themselves so I was just curious. that's all ^_^;'
You say, 'but Pell's ancient and a Broadbeam, so I figure it's allowed =P'
Lucillia says, 'hehe'
Lokath laughs.
Lucillia says, 'Well Luci just does things like saying an' instead of and , and dropin' the g's on ings ;)'
Sigald says, 'Bach'
Lokath says, 'Luke tends to keep his sentences entire, and use big words. He just does that.'
Wickit says, 'Bethoven'
Lokath says, 'Beet-oven!'
Wickit says, 'sorry...'
Lucillia throws a cake [lie] at Lokath.
Sigald says, 'Back too. Sigald changes it up depending on the situation. He's acquainted with formal court speech, and soldierly speech, but Wickit's been corrupting him.'
Esslar is still alive.
Wickit says, '::grins::'
Aellwen says, 'haha'
Lucillia says, 'hehe'
Sigald casts summon Langley rank 4!
Lucillia says, 'xD'
You say, 'So what other standards have we got? We've covered OOC/IC, emoting a different char (alt), specifying a language/dialect...'
Olmandis says, 'Lang's on her way, i believe. so, language aside, heh, segway, segway'
Aellwen says, 'you mean like:'
Aellwen | Kailia says howdy
You say, 'yep'
You say, 'just like'
Temima sits down.
Olmandis says, 'I was kinda wondering how folks view the game aspect of lvling with their character.'
Aellwen says, 'yeah I use that style for when I do emotes on Aellwen's child'
Lokath says, 'Okay, put your birds away! AWAY.'
Lucillia says, 'that can also be used if you don't want your char's name at the beginning'
Wickit says, '::nods::'
You say, 'depends on the person, but generally speaking the "heavier" RPers tend to ignore level entirely'
Lokath says, 'No pets in the Pony or other indoors areas, please. I don't want bears sniffing in my ale.'
Aellwen says, 'no kidding'
You say, 'or just recognize it in a very broad, generic sense'
Olmandis says, 'I've noticed. Tha somtimes even relate to class and quests...'
Aellwen says, 'to me, that just doesn't make sense, letting wild animals come pounching through the pony'
Lucillia says, 'Yeah, personally, I tend to ignore it to a certain extent.'
Arion Has anyone mentioned yet that Arion has been on the Trib's Most Eligable Bachelor in Bree the longest out of anyone?
Sigald says, 'I generally only rp semi-appropriate to my level, just to make it easier for gear and such.'
Wickit says, '::grins at Arion::'
Olmandis says, 'Do folks...choose a class for their character cause it mathces..their story? Like, would you, if given the op, rp out quests?'
Aellwen says, 'well what about the griefers that like lining their bears butts up with our heads while we are IC talking to another person'
Sigald nods.
Temima says, 'I rp quests.'
You say, 'some people take the gear-based-approach, most (in my experience) just skirt the whole issue'
Arion No? *winks at all the ladies*
Temima says, 'When I sign on to this game I am IC.'
Olmandis says, 'well yes, mail box dancing aside.'
Olmandis says, 'I agree...my character is a guardian, and I rp a guardian...'
Lokath says, 'Hey, that's my job, Arion. Well, mine and Gaelyns.'
Sigald says, 'I rp most quests, including when I have to go out of Bree, I'm off doing important work elsewhere. But that works for my character.'
Aellwen says, 'well I used to RP my char as a captain, but now she was just a soldier who is now a healer'
You say, 'generally speaking, and this all changes on the circumstances, but in-game mechanics are rarely or only vaguely incorporated into "heavy" RP'
Lokath says, 'I RP as an assassin, which is why I'm a burg xD'
Olmandis says, 'The stories, essentially, provide a reason for every to adventure...in some capacity..even if your "evil" you want folks around who are good helping ya, yes? Dance puppets, dance!'
You say, 'you could view a class as representing in a fairly informal fashion your character's skillset or occupation, but it doesn't have to define them'
Lucillia says, 'Uhuh, same, burglar because I'm a brigand/corsair'
Sigald says, 'On that note...rp combat formats: Duel, Roll-based, Full-rp'
Olmandis says, 'I think that might depend on yer outlook, Ess...'
Temima says, 'A wicked character would be smart to use any resource they could.'
Lokath says, 'Full-RP Roll based.'
Olmandis says, 'Granted, it takes alotta work in some cases, heh.'
You say, 'It all depends on outlook, Ol'
Lokath says, 'duels are unfair.'
Sigald nods.
Lokath says, 'A minstrel will win every single time in a duel.'
Sigald has had good and bad experience with full rp.
Wickit says, 'I'd not heard of roll based before a few days ago, but it makes sense when the lvls are so different.'
You say, 'Everyone like's to RP a little differently, and there's no wrong way to RP as long as everyone's having fun. It does help to have mutual standards/understandings though to prevent gaffes'
Lucillia says, 'I tend to prefer open emote fights. But since joining the Redwolds, I'll do roll based ones.'
Aellwen says, 'roll battles are better. They add a randomization element to RP.'
Lucillia says, 'true'
Lucillia says, 'but sometimes the luck is really unfair xD'
You say, 'I tend to decide based on the individual situation'
Aellwen says, 'but if the person prefers trying just emote battle, should be established through tells first'
Wickit says, 'true'
Warriorerick has won the Festival Run, three cheers for Warriorerick!
Sigald nods. "But roll based is a little tougher to negotiate in the beginning."
Aellwen says, 'so folks know what's acceptable and what's not'
Sigald says, 'For instance, if I were to roll-fight Wickit, I'd assume that you would start the top-end of the rolls in different places?'
Olmandis says, 'good question. I think that might be a case-by-case depending on the folks involved'
Wickit says, '::narrows her eyes at Sigald::'
Olmandis says, 'face the facts Wicket.'
Sigald cowers in fear before Wickit!
Wickit says, 'I'll stick my little dagger in ya...'
Sigald sits with Wickit.
Lucillia says, 'lol'
Temima says, 'I free form when I fight.'
Sigald says, 'Careful, I've already referenced Freud once.'
Olmandis says, 'Paper dont beat rock this time.'
Wickit says, 'hush'
Sigald ahems. "New folks, questions?"
Wickit says, '::grins::'
Lucillia says, 'Yeah, I tend to like the feel of free form. Though I see the benefits of roll for both randomness and to make sure no modding i guess'
Lucillia stares at the new people x]
Temima says, 'I'm feeling a little disheartened by some things. Hopefully this meeting will keep me rping.'
Wickit says, 'Modding is a problem, though I"ve only seen it a few times'
Sigald says, 'What's wrong, Tem?'
Wickit says, 'What things.?'
Sigald cheers at Langley.
Olmandis says, 'I'd like to see a few more duels, personally, heh.Usually, though, people have been...really quite mature here, in what I've scene, and pretty openminded.'
Arion waves to Langley.
Sigald sits with Langley.
Olmandis says, 'Heres whitey.'
Aellwen says, 'well I must say one thing though. I think the community should concider cutting back some on the drama RP'
Wickit nods to Langley.
Lucillia shouts, 'HI'
Lokath says, 'Rasksha is resigning from the office of Justice due to people OOCly harrassing her, apparently.'
Lucillia grins
Wickit says, '::shakes head::'
Olmandis says, 'thats a shame...'
Lucillia says, ':( yeah'
You say, '=/'
Olmandis says, 'but, I guess we can kinda draw off that..what went wrong?'
Wickit says, 'That's ridiculous...if they don't want to be involved in this, nobody's forcing them to.'
Sigald says, 'The non-rp'ers that were being butts on the forums? Or the lorenazis?'
Olmandis says, 'Tem and I were talking about this...pretty in depth a few hours ago'
Lucillia says, 'people should assume the worse before it even begins ..sheesh xD'
Lucillia says, 'shouldnt'
Temima says, 'I agree. I'm not feeling real well because I know alot and so if I'm off and not my usual friendly self people are like cultures.'
Temima says, 'vultures*'
Temima says, 'anyway, arion is the new justice so any plots with that?'
Olmandis says, 'It seems like...people aren't willing to participate in giving a topic, but they are ready...to fault a topic if it doesn quite suit them...'
Lucillia says, 'And Sigald, it was the lore nazis'
Sigald sighs.
Lucillia says, '=P yeap..'
Lokath says, 'Arion, if you're justice, what're you planning to do with the Watch?'
Alphlin says, 'o_o is being interested in the lore a bad thing? that' the only reason I'm playing. D='
Sigald says, 'I say we take a suggestion from a non-rper in that thread. Everyone go roll a half-elf with wings and laser eyes.'
Sigald sits down.
Wickit says, '::looks over to Arion::'
Temima says, 'that might be best kept ic though, so I don't blame him if he doesn't answer'
Olmandis says, 'Sucks to, i mean, ya try not to be cliquish, but then, folks line up to throw fruit at ya'
Lokath says, 'Who can wear heavy armor!'
You say, 'it better not be =P'
Olmandis says, 'Yoooooo.'
Arion I think part of the problem is why we are having this meeting. Maybe, a little more coordination before hand would have been benificial. And as someone who is only here for the lore and rp, lets not use the term 'nazi' please
Olmandis knocks on Arion's breastplate
Olmandis says, 'Like a rock'
Alisel sits down.
Wickit says, '::nods:: Agreed, on all counts.'
Olmandis says, 'I agree with Arion...it seemed...kinda open and quick.'
Aellwen says, 'hi Allie!'
Sigald says, 'Lore....sticklers?'
Temima says, 'It was a joke.'
You say, 'there's nothing wrong with a keen interest in the lore, but those of us who do choose to divulge heavily in it have to realize that not everyone chooses to, so butting our noses in with a lore-stick isn't likely to go over well'
Sigald shrugs.
You say, 'Lore-beasts works for me =P'
Arion I agree/
Lokath waves to Nathon.
Arion Monkey is good too :)
Nathon says, 'Whoa...... you all didn't appear until I walked through half of you.'
Sigald says, 'At the same time, there's lore-slackers who are good rp.'
Lucillia says, '^^ 'lo new arrivals'
Temima says, 'I will be the first to admit I was brought here for rp and am learning. I don't know hardly anything about the lore but I am a good rper.'
Nathon sits down.
Olmandis says, 'This is true, some folks seem to think cause every single drink wasnt mentioned by Tolkin, the fellowship got by on osmosis...like, if it wasnt in text, it just wasnt.'
Lokath says, 'Lore-Monkey it is.'
You say, 'exactly, you don't -have- to dig into the lore to be a good RPer. It helps but it's not a requisite'
Arion grins
Lucillia says, '^^ exactly!'
Sigald suggests that we encourage "Take what you want, leave the rest." When it comes to lore rp?
Olmandis says, 'Honestly...rp'ing is...sponteneous acting...its..your character acting to whatever is before him...in a way, you would see them acting, heh...ya cant be wrong...'
Nathon requests that people speak in /emotes just so its easier to hear everyone... but it is only a request.
Temima says, 'I enjoy the setting. But when someone asks me a very specific question I have to Tell them.'
Annuiel steps in quietly and sheepishly, rubbing the sleep from her eyes
Nathon sits down.
Lokath says, 'Yeah, the game provides enough of the lore to allow perfectly fine RP.'
Lokath says, 'RP is improv.'
Aellwen says, 'Tem, you and I both. I came from world of warcraft's RP server, so I am having to adjust my more aggressive RP style to this game'
Annuiel sits down.
Alphlin says, 'hokay, I wasn't plannin' on beatin' people with the lore stick. D='
Sigald says, 'The circle is /say range. XD'
Temima says, 'I came from rp chatrooms. I have never gamed before.'
Temima says, 'You should have seen how many walls I walked into.'
Sigald says, 'Interesting.'
Arion *puts away lore stick and looks around guiltily*
You say, 'I spend an obscene amount of time digging through books and webpages to get lore, but that's my choice and it's what I find fun. Wouldn't justify me to go over to Random Person A and say their char concept sucked because it wasn't lore-appropriate'
Lokath says, 'I walk into real life walls.'
Aellwen says, 'lol, used to chat RP on battle.net in my diablo days'
Lokath says, 'I came from MUDs and RP boards! Whoo!'
Alphlin says, 'this is my first and only mmo precisely because it's tolkien, though, so knowing what the rp communty's thoughts on lore are would be nice?'
Annuiel sits down.
Olmandis says, 'Yah, and there way of being lore oriented, but being contrsuctve taking a pedagouge type mentality.'
Sigald | For the benefit of the newer folks, if the latecomers could give a quick char bio/storyline interest?
You say, 'Conversely, it might behoove people to do some basic research before launching a concept. Just skimming Tolkien Gateway or such probably isn't too much to ask'
Sigald | Lets start with Langley
Lokath says, 'Fin, you do a good job.'
You say, 'or even just asking a resident lore-monkey. We don't seem to be hard to find =)'
Lucillia gives Langley a hard stare down.
Wickit says, 'Langley has the floor..'
Nathon looks to Langley
Olmandis says, 'I think...true rp'ers would do just that...I mean, part of rp'ing is making something that fits into society. I'd rather see a humble town guard roleplayed than the only male who can throw down with a black rider and upend the notion no man can kill them,'
Sigald careful folks, she's liable to write a novel. ;)
Lokath says, 'I think everyone has trouble RPing with Istari.'
Alisel bonks Nathon on the head. "You are not Langley"
Wickit says, '::grins::'
Lucillia chuckles
Aellwen says, 'haha'
Langley | My character is Langley, and she is the current captain of the resident band of brigands. That's pretty much anyone really knows about her, so I'll leave it at that. As for a storyline interest, I personally would like to stray from the path I have -
Temima says, 'so, maybe we should have people that will help with lore resources for their characters.'
Lokath says, 'You can learn a hell of a lot of lore simply by taking the time to browse through Wikipedia.'
You say, 'well that's also part of the purpose for LoR, making lore easier to get at'
Wickit says, 'Shhhh....'
Olmandis says, 'dang right, wiki that stuff, heh.'
Annuiel [[just putting it out there that I can't stay long, and as the only available member of my kinship here, if I could just have a quick word in the next 20 minutes or so, that would be great :)]]
Sigald says, '| Fair enough. Annuiel will be up next |'
Lucillia nods
Sigald | Fair enough. Annuiel will be up next |
Aellwen sits down.
Langley - carved since I got into the roleplaying scene in late december. I propose introducing an altogether knew kinship into the community by drawing upon the alt slots of any interested to form a band of cultured merchants who will help establish a -
Lokath glances over at Fin. 'And I'll dump a tankard of ice water on anyone who talks while someone else is.'
Lucillia gives Lokath a hard stare down.
Finleigh covers her mouth, trying not to laugh
Langley - stronger economic and commercial foothold here in Bree-land in the name of southron enterprises from gondor, rohan, and even umbar. As for the Redwolds, in all likelihood, I will leave their direction in the hands of my colleagues.
Jacinda has won the Festival Run, three cheers for Jacinda!
Lucillia raises her hand. "May we rob you?" wink.
Lokath says, 'Does anyone mind any music?'
Lucillia says, '=3 yay'
Lokath says, 'Also, Luke'd love to be hired out as a caravan guard. You'd just have to pay.'
Olmandis says, 'Definatly have and interesing assortment here...bandits..rangers...law abiding...not so..law abiding, heh'
Sigald cheers at Langley.
Wickit | Okay, Annuiel, you're up.
Sigald sits with Langley.
Esslar fills the absent-minded, wealthy, benevolent scholar slot
Temima says, 'All Ihave to say is I will rp with just about anyone so just IM me. Even if its an offer to make a character for something someone needs. I can rp just about anything.'
Olmandis says, 'we have the makings or, pretty intrepid stories here, heh. i think its good we make a ooc connection, before the whole ic thing.'
Lucillia says, '=] agreed.'
Sigald diverts his attention to Annuiel.
Nathon agrees with Olmandis.
Nathon sits with Olmandis.
Aellwen says, 'agreed'
You agree with Olmandis.
Annuiel |Thanks very much. Firstly, I like the idea of a merchant kinship, I think it would fill a gap greatly needed. On behalf of my kinship, we're an Elven-only kinship, and quite strictly lore-abiding. Our 'mission' is to protect the Elves travelling to-
Annuiel -the shores in order to sail. Therefore, a lot of the time we don't spend much rp time in Bree. However, there are those of us, Melawil and myself included, who are heavy rpers and would like to see more rp time. So I'm basically putting Tirn en Taur-
Annuiel -in thre as an available resource to draw upon. We're also interested in setting up more rp outside the usual places. I think that's all ;)
Aellwen says, 'yeah that's something we should concider'
Temima says, 'I've been looking for elves to rp with.'
Wickit says, '::nods:: sounds good.'
Aellwen says, 'some of us like myself, have a hard time in bree cuz of lag'
Temima says, 'I'll stay in my kin but would love to rp with you.'
Aellwen says, 'we should come up with some nice alternatives'
Lucillia says, 'Yeah, I'd like to see RP in other parts of Eriador too.'
You say, 'Seems like we've got a handful of kins like that, looking to start intermingling with other kins'
Annuiel Oh, and I am also Evarose..but I'm farily sure everyone knows that. So I do sit with the Redwolds a bit as well, though I've not been as involved lately. I think the Bree scene has become a little stagnant and needs something to shaek it up and make it-
Sigald was originally organizing his Kin as a road-security for travellers sort of thing. So there's stuff to work with there.
Annuiel -fresh again.
Lokath raises his hand. How does he do that while still playing the lute?
Temima says, 'its pretty much the only way I would rp as we're seperate entities in my kin and sort of...don't hold hands so to say.'
You say, 'lore-wise Bree is a slightly inappropriate place for elves to be frequenting, or at least some are going to see it that way. An alternative locale (Rivendell? Celondim?) might work well for the elves then'
Lucillia says, 'Yeah, which is something that this meeting can be for. Seeing as how its hard to find each other out there ::grin::'
Wickit says, 'Agreed, about Bree becoming 'stagnant'...but has a lot to do with all the festivals and new content back to back...I /hope/'
Lokath says, 'I'd like the soapbox for a few moments?'
Aellwen says, 'a nice place to try, is the green dragon inn'
Aellwen says, 'of the shire'
Arion Part of my interest in this meeting has to do with the Morchant and Redwolds. As the only 'bad guy' kins, if that is even true any more, what they are up to drives a lot of the rp scene. I am curious as to what they are doing and how we can contribute+
Olmandis says, 'i agree, its hard to find a reason to go to bree, sometimes, heh, why i thought an ambassador concept might..cirumvent that, i think theres a means to get alotta new mediums going here.'
Esslar pulls a soapbox out from under the floor and slides it on over.
Lokath says, 'Aellwen, a kin my main (Caetor) was in used the Green Dragon for a lot of RP purposes. Order of the Silver Eye! Luci was in it for a while, too.'
You say, 'Well there's no shortage of locales, we'd just want to avoid limiting ourselves via location'
Nathon wonders if he can play a song after Luke.
Aellwen awww nate I was gonna ask next :P
Lokath says, 'O' course, Nathon. This one's a bit long, though.'
Lucillia throws a large trout at Lokath and gestures for Nathon to play.
Temima says, 'Am I lagging the music is skipping.'
Annuiel [[Can we all focus please?}}
Aellwen says, 'lol luci'
Lokath gets hit in the face by the trout.
Wickit says, '::looks over to Arion to see what he was saying::'
Sigald | Nathon's up next for introductions, so he can play too. |
Lucillia waves to Scouti.
Scouti bows deeply.
Lucillia sits with Scouti.
Olmandis flashes gang signs to Scouti...west side
Sigald waves to Scouti.
Sigald sits with Scouti.
Scouti ((south side!))
Nathon actually, I"ll save the music for later then. I play on my midikeyboard.
Wickit nods to Scouti.
Scouti sits down.
Nathon okay... here goes for an intro....
Lokath says, 'Beats my ABC file.'
You sit.
Olmandis doesnt even wanna know how to make an sign language s...west side out of ease, dangnammit.
Nathon Oh, irght... after Arion of course.
Lucillia gives Arion a hard stare down.
Aellwen says, 'he takes a while to type'
Wickit says, 'No worries'
Lokath says, 'It's always meaningful :)'
Your friend, Delaney, has come online.
Wickit says, 'Agreed.'
Aellwen says, 'yep'
Arion Part of my interest in this meeting has to do with the Morchant and Redwolds. As the only 'bad guy' kins, if that is even true any more, what they are up to drives a lot of the rp scene. I am curious as to what they are doing and how we can contribute+
Sigald blinks.
Arion +to it.
Sigald facepalms.
Lucillia lol
Aellwen cheers at Arion.
Lokath cheers at Arion.
Lucillia Well we're [the redwolds] are still baddies.
Sigald grins and nods. "Good point. I contribute by shooting Radcliffe."
Lucillia and argh..going afk for dinner >.< bbs *stares at Scouti* tag your it lol
Wickit says, 'But, most of your activities are now outside Bree...yes.?'
Lucillia says, 'both'
Lokath says, 'They run around telling stupid rhymes with pumpkins on their heads in Bree.'
Scouti grin," We are always looking for people or activities to crash, rob or the such.."
Heorswith has won the Festival Run, three cheers for Heorswith!
Aellwen says, 'I believe Nate is up for introductions?'
Wickit says, 'I thought there was some type of.....'agreement'...that had been made..'
Nathon stops playing.
Sigald | On that note, Scouti, since we're discussing baddies, and Nathon's still playing, give your intro for the folk that don't know you/Redwolds?
Wickit says, '::hushes for the other intros:: Sorry..'
Scouti looks around at all the people.
Temima sits down.
Sigald waits expectantly for Scouti.
Your friend, Rillas, has come online.
Temima says, 'I am the only one that could speak for the morchants and I really can't offer anything ooc to your request Arion. Um, because nothing is happening and I don't think Rask likes ooc. So I am not ignoring you.'
Arion nods
Scouti nods,"Ok well I am Scouti, worked for the Bree Watch before it fell apart. Now feeding off the darkness in most people so to say. Im hoping to bring all of our Rp actions and stories together. That way one action can have many different outcomes:D.
Olmandis says, 'Duely noted.'
Annuiel [[alright everyone, I have to go, but thanks for organising this, and I'll read the log when all is done]]
Temima says, 'Bye. Tell me if you want some time.'
Arion waves to Annuiel.
Olmandis says, 'Yah, take it easy An.'
Sigald (( Bye Annuiel ))
You say, '(thanks for coming Annuiel =) I may have some IMs/PMs/tells for you later =P))'
Sigald egh brackets.
Wickit waves by to Eva..
Aellwen who's next?
Scouti sits down.
Sigald | Intro to Nathon |
Aellwen says, 'yep'
Lokath says, 'Aye, it's you.'
Arion Nathon I believe?
Lokath says, 'I'd like to say a bit after.'
Sigald nods at Lokath.
Nathon |Well.... as it is, Nathon is the patriarch of the Locksley Family. He was born in Archet, the second eldest of four sons to a man by the name of Rodger Locksley. Jackram Locksley being the only close member of his family to him, him and Jack left -
Your friend, Rillas, has gone offline.
Nathon - Breeland as mercenaries/sellswords. Through those times, while their other brothers sought other venues and such, Jack and Nathon campaigned in many places across M-E... mainly Gondor being their farthest and more important campaign... in which they -
Nathon - fought alongside the Gondorians against Easterlings and Corsairs.... but... enough about Nathon and more about the kin... -
Nathon - Nathon would be known by most Breelanders, though probably not at all by outsiders such as hobbits, elves, or dunedain... In the burning of Archet he lost his home, and sought new venues of work to help provide for his family. This is what was the -
Nathon - start of a now very large Trade Enterprise, and a Private Military Company... or as more people would use in a lesser term... Mercenaries.
Nathon - As for what I wish to seek out of the community...-
Nathon - As Langley had proposed, a more economic based kinship, perhaps more interaction in that aspect of RP. Trade... business... something to RP, other than the war.-
Aellwen says, 'here here!'
Wickit says, 'So, the Locksley's aren't all 'kin/family', obviously, but an organization of mercenaries?'
Aellwen says, 'yep'
Nathon - I will RP with any, and The Locksley's are known as a neutral kin. Not Evil, though not a law upholder of any sort. And we are very communal and family based.
Wickit says, '::grins::'
Sigald invites you to join a raid. Will you join?
You accept the offer to join a Fellowship.
You have joined the chat room for your raid, raid chat is now available.
You have joined the chat room for your Fellowship, Fellowship chat is now available.
You have joined a Raid.
Alphlin has joined your Raid.
Sigald | Raid invites are for a demo in a bit
Nathon And yes Wickit... not just family, but we welcome other people into our kin, as mercenaries, merchants, farm hands, and etc.
Lokath has joined your Raid.
Nathon with all that being said... I'll pass the mic to someone else.
Nathon has joined your Raid.
Scouti claps for Nathon.
Wickit says, '::nods:: just wanted to clarify, since there are so many of you running around Bree now.. lol'
Wickit sits down.
Scouti sits with Nathon.
Wickit says, 'bah..hate that'
Finleigh has joined your Raid.
Lokath says, 'There's a load of Locksleys.'
Reluwena has won the Festival Run, three cheers for Reluwena!
You say, 'I could try to get the Randirim more involved in world trade and such... I'll have to think on it, but it's a husk of a kin membership wise so while the IC-availablity is there, there wouldn't be kin-members for much interaction in-game'
Lokath says, 'So, Nathon, do you have any sons named Robin?'
Aellwen says, 'lol'

Arion As an adjunct to this 'merchant' kin, I have a proposal. It could be part of it or something seperate. I suggest a kin that would be used as 'opponents for any kin that might want such.
Wickit rolled (80): 33
Aellwen sits down.
Langley Are you suggesting a villain conglamerate?
Lucillia is back. =P
Wickit says, 'welcome back'
Lucillia says, '=)'
Lucillia sits down.
Arion *nods* Something like that. A tool to be used by kins in furthering their own stories.
Lokath So, I'd like to say something.
Lokath It's yet another kin idea xD
Langley Go Lokaaaa
You say, 'We could establish some imaginary foes'
Olmandis says, 'Hmmm...i can kinda see that, but at the same time...part of villainy is feeding on other villains, heh...but..we can also use all sorts of static things that pop up in the world to such an effect.'
You say, 'if there's a shortage on evil kins we could come up with our own group populated by NPCs to suit whatever purpose we might need'
Lucillia has joined your Raid.
Wickit says, 'Shhhh...'
Wickit says, 'Lokath has the floor'
Aellwen says, 'heck, we could even utilize the moors'
Lokath has left your Raid.
Your Raid has been disbanded.
Nathon Seeing as the purpose of the meeting is the exact same purpose that I constructed the site, perhaps you would all like to introduce the Floating Log Inn site to your kin members. Its an RP Community Site for the Landroval server. www.floatingloginn.com
Olmandis says, 'this is true, but...part of the insidiousnes of the eye...is subverting things...like Sharkey spurring the bandits.'
Wickit says, 'the ones north of Adso's? or all of them.?'
Lokath says, 'So, what I was going to say was, a lot of people seem... annoyed with the Watch. Luke's quite annoyed, especially. What I was thinking of was a vigilante kin, composed entirely of Bree-landers devoted to keeping their town clean.'
Wickit says, '::looks over to Arion knowingly::'
Aellwen says, 'nice idea luke!'
Lokath says, 'And doing whatever it might take to keep Bree clean. Including beating the living daylights out of brigands.'
Sigald blinks. "Just Bree-landers?"
Scouti nods,"I agree the Wacth is broken, but the fact that good guys have rules is part of being good.."
Olmandis says, 'Heh, well, that could tie into the rangers...um...some of my character might have a moral conundrum, cause, you go too heavy handedl...what seperates you from any other gang, heh.'
Aellwen says, 'I have a few char slots available, if someone needs an extra villain'
Lokath says, 'The thing about a vigilante group is that it can go bad a lot easier than the Watch, leading to some interesting RPs.'
Wickit says, 'Could not vigilantes, arguably, be seen as just as bad as 'Brigands', though? as was said in another meeting...it's a fine line to walk'
Olmandis says, 'exactly, heh.'
Sigald shrugs. "Sigald walks that line, usually."
Lucillia says, 'true, at the same time we need a pure group that -wouldn't- go bad.'
Lokath says, 'But a couple things that would work out really well with the whole group is brawls against the brigands of the area - going out and fighting NPCs or doing roll battles with full fellowships against each other.'
Sigald says, 'I nominate Arion for the honorable paladin types.'
Aellwen nods
Lucillia grins.
Olmandis says, 'heh, well, no one is really...pure...but that notion of law i need, i think.. i mean...why play a bandit if theres no laws, heh'
Lucillia says, 'ya exactly :]'
Lokath says, 'We HAVE people who are honorable paladins, but Luke's main idea is that those paladins can't always do what is necessary.'
Sigald nods, and agrees, a lot.
Sigald winks at Langley.
Lokath says, 'So, anyone that's interested, or would make an alt who would do that sort of thing, come up to Luke ICly and ask about the 'Dragon's Scales''
Lokath says, 'I'll be spreading the word to... people I trust.'
Sigald grins.
Lucillia says, 'hehe'
Arion The idea of something replacing the Watch is only good if there are people willing to break the law and accept the consequnces. A vigilante kin would be good for that. Still. they need to be vigilante against someone too. So, another group would have+
Sigald is perfectly willing to be Batman.
Lucillia lol
Lokath thinks that there's already a brigand kin - the Redwolds.
Olmandis says word to being batman
Nathon well... i hope I don't offend anyone by saying this... but I think part of the problem with the prior watches... was more the leadership than anything. Not that it was bad leadership, but maybe not very well organized. I think Arion is just the man to
Arion +to be the people the vigilantes are after.
Nathon remedy that... *toots a horn for Arion*
Wickit says, '::looks over and studies Sigald then shakes her head::'
Scouti (( I have Hesadryt on his way guys))
Sigald says, 'I'm Batman.'
Aellwen says, '(nuuuuuu)'
Aellwen says, 'lol'
Lokath says, 'Hesa being the first generation Watch?'
Olmandis says, 'well...i think...it things might collide...were all playing a character. whether were telling a story or not.'
Scouti says, 'And thank you Langlwy, I thought we did well.'
Wickit says, 'I think it started out really well'
Scouti says, 'Yes me Hes and a few others.'
Sigald says, 'I wish I was here for that.'
Wickit says, 'just got infiltrated and corrupted really fast, it seemed'
Alphlin says, 'err what is this watch, if nobody minds my asking?'
Sigald explains.
Lokath says, 'Aye, I had an incident with Hesa letting a murder go in broad daylight, though, so I don't trusy him much.'
Olmandis says, 'and, we want that story to be as we saw it...but good collides with evil...and...we gotta be willing to see it through in a way that doesnt annihlate the other, even thought that may be what our character are going for'
Nathon also can I say another thing?
Lokath waves Nate forward.
Wickit says, 'Oh, I'm not saying it was fun to see it corrupted.. ::grins:: just that it didn't stay 'all good guys' for long..if that was teh intent.'
Sigald | Bree-town doesn't have a military, or large police force as such. So the mayor and town leaders have the basic "Watch" who try, but fail, to keep things peaceful and law abiding.
Wickit says, 'wasn't, even'
Nathon it takes a lot to offend me, as I am rarely offended... but I found the thing in the Bree Tribune with the locksleys' and incest to be a bit too much sugar in my cup of tea...... so I've been working on a new newspaper myself. I'm not trying to drown -
Lucillia | Yup that was the basic concept. Though I wasn't around for when it was mostly good guys.
Sigald | As the 'watch' in Bree are npcs, there's not much interaction there, so several versions of player-run Watches have developed.|
Nathon - the other one out... not at all even, I see it as I see real newspaper companies... in that everyone has a competitor it would seem.
Finleigh agrees with Nathon.
Finleigh sits down.
You have been marked as being AFK due to inactivity.
Sigald nods at Nathon.
Aellwen says, 'yeah incest was a bit much'
You are no longer AFK.
Wickit says, 'Yes, you should! ::grins::'
Sigald waves to Rasksha.
Rasksha begins dancing the Jig!
Nathon waves to Rasksha
Scouti waves to Rasksha.
Wickit waves to Rasksha.
Sigald waves to Wulfhen.
Lokath cheers at Rasksha.
Scouti sits with Rasksha.
Lucillia waves to everyone.
Arion waves to Rasksha.
You sit.
Aellwen says, 'hey Rask showed up!'
Olmandis says, 'Ummm...I definatly, and thankfully, missed the incest part...please...do not...fillme in'
Alphlin says, 'ahh thanks for the explanation. =D'
Wickit says, 'and to Wulfhen, even if I don't really know him.. ::grins;:'
Arion waves to Wulfhen.
Lucillia sits down.
Lucillia waves to Wulfhen.
Lucillia sits with Wulfhen.
Temima sits down.
Nathon oh, no worries Olmandis... it was just a big lie... just one I foudn a little inappropriate. IC RP or not.
Sigald | Rask, Wulf, if you would, Introduce yourselves for those who don't know you. Basic info and where you'd like to go with stories? |
Sigald sits with Wulfhen.
Lokath says, 'Just don't bring the whole 'Tribune' thing up with me IC, I'll start complaining about how it's total lies and drivel.'
Wickit says, 'Rasksha has the floor...'
Nathon shines a big battery powered spotlight on Rasksha.
Lucillia lol
Lokath says, 'THAT'S NOT IN THE LORE! *Wacks with lore monkey stick*'
Rasksha shouts, 'So I'm like Rasksha and I like men who carry big swords and and.. okay. So Um. Rasksha is basically a villian type char, only not. More of a, bitter woman who was like, stick to the kings. And, she leads the Morchant and has been about.. in bree -'
Rasksha shouts, 'for a long time, and... yea.'
Nathon decides he'll god mod while he's at it and draws his double bladed light saber and decapitates Lokath.... okay... I'm done now.
Sigald cheers at Rasksha.
Arion claps for Rasksha.
Sigald sits down.
Lucillia claps ^^
Aellwen says, 'hahaha'
Lucillia says, 'haha'
Esslar points out that Nathon has to wait for MoM to do that
Olmandis of the jedi order...accepts this challenge, though he really wishes he were an rk...force lightning, ha ha
Lokath says, '...'
Nathon could pay Wulfhen better than Rask.
Langley could pay Wulfen better then Nathon.
Lucillia | Dun dun dun
Lokath could spell better than Langley.
Nathon "Teehee.."
Sigald says, 'For the latecomers, we've covered the basics of rp formatting and some villain/law/vigilante issues.'
Rasksha says, 'Don't all line up to fight over him now.'
Wickit could pay better then both of them...
You say, 'Well before we get off into any other nitty-gritties of the modern kins, were there any other general topics we wanted to cover?'
Rasksha says, 'Issues, there are issues?'
Sigald demonstrated basic /roll system for folks.
Lokath says, 'Issues as in I'm forming a vigilante kin to hunt you and the Redwolds down :D'
Sigald is Batman.
Rasksha says, 'If that is what we are on can I add my two cents to that?'
Lucillia is the Joker...well no really.
Olmandis says, 'there is that notion good vs evil, ina very...simplistic way, heh'
Sigald points at Arion/Superman.
Esslar pictures Wickit as Robin
Lokath looks at Luci. 'Why so serious?'
Lucillia lol >;)
Wickit says, '::shudders at the thought of wearing tights::'
Aellwen if I might make a suggestion?
Sigald nods to Rask.
Rasksha says, 'Basically. The morchant haven't done.. anything evil (other than free Valahn as part of a mercy thing) in Bree in.. weeks or even months. How come they are still centered as 'evil''
Nathon looks to Lokath rather oddly. "Ya' know how I got these scars?"
Olmandis says, 'the reputation, I think proceeds itself.'
You say, 'wanna see a magic trick?'
Nathon raises a hand to answer Rasksha's question.
You say, 'go ahead Aellwen =)'
Lokath says, 'Luke just doesn't like the whole 'free Valahn' thing.'
Olmandis says, 'i havent had a character meet you..and I seem to already "know" you'
Lucillia says, 'Yeah that was my guess. My suggestion is do some rather obvious acts to prove other wise i guess haha'
Sigald If I can speak to that, Rask. I think my experience, where the reputation and the stories were the first introduction.
Lokath points at Langley.
Aellwen well a few of my friends mentioned Drama RP. Basically too much drama happening at once. So maybe before diving right into drama RP, talk it over with people first. We don't want to burn people out you know?
Rasksha says, 'To be honest Awellwen, if you don't want to be involved. Don't, get, involved, simple as.'
Lokath says, 'Aye, I've been in a kin that died due to drama RP. Does anyone here know the kin Guthwine?'
Olmandis says, 'theres no one, heh, who can convince my characters, after archet and shakrey and...trestlebirdge going and...that...bandits are enything but bad news, heh. and your have that reputation, fa sure.'
Sigald | Suggestion to that notion, if I may. |
Nathon looks to Aellwen... "That didn't have much to do with her question... at all really. but I'll answer..."
Nathon after Sigald.
Arion - To recap somewhat. Langley suggested formation of a merchant type kin to foster economic type rp. I suggested as part of that or something seperate, making an 'npc' kin for other kins to use further their stories. They could be good, bad, whatever+
Lucillia says, 'ugh, Guthwine'
Aellwen says, 'didn't say I didn't want involved. Just expressing a few friends concerns'
Lokath says, 'Yeah, I know you know them, Luci.'
Lucillia goes into the feedal positon (and can't spell)
Arion Sorry about that, I meant to copy it and messed up :(
Sigald wonders if in addition to the more serious 'drama' storylines, if we shouldn't organize 'intro' rp lines. Like IC quests with newer rp'ers out to fight some bandits in Chetwood, or some such, something lighter.
Rasksha says, 'That's alot of freaken work'
Rasksha says, 'And for what? To babysit people?'
Aellwen says, 'now that's a good idea Sig!'
Sigald points at Scouti and Luci, "Or dancing singing pumpkins."
Lokath says, 'Dragon's Scale would love to organize raids into the Chetwood.'
You say, 'collect x amount of broken scabards for instance'
Olmandis says, 'm very much down with that, and Ess seemed to have the same idea...I mean..say, dol dinan isnt yer cup of tea...its still a bunch o pre generated mobs in an forotied area....you can use that for all kinda reasons'
Sigald nods. |Quick comment, Fin? |
Lucillia SURE - Fin
Sigald waves to Eodor.
Wickit looks back over her shoulder and smiles at Eodor.
Nathon thats something I'd like to help with Fin. I know people who are newcomers to the Locksley kins are often overwhelmed with all the family history, and finding a place to fit in at first, but for the most part, we do well with that, and thats something -
Lucillia says, 'Yeah, some RPers have a tendancy to do that. To get wrapped into a story and get cranky if someone wants to join...which is not really good because well impromptu is much better. But most of us (or I should at least speak for myself) will RP with anyone -'
Nathon - want to work on server wide.
Eodor smiles to Wickit and nods to Sigald, quietly sliding into a place next to Arion.
Sigald nods. "Actually...a very good intro rp point....?"
Sigald points at Wickit.
Olmandis says, 'i think that will come with the territory, unfortunatly, as said before, we are all..playing characters, heh..and this can lead to alot of very...emotional responses. but i think we can make mediums, start events, that can be more welcoming.'
Lucillia says, 'who comes up to us.'
Sigald | Eodor, Intro please for those not familiar with you. |
Aellwen says, 'yeah I try to RP with anyone, when I know they are interested. Usually a glance at me will get my attention'
Lucillia O.O waves
Rasksha says, 'Same.'
You say, 'After Eodor's intro I'd like to request we start to wrap it up for tonight. This log is going to be massive as it is and I've got homework waiting on me =)'
Lokath says, 'Just a minor announcement. I actually have a [Man Kinship Charter] on me (I've been planning this kin for a bit), so anyone who is interested in the Scales, send me a /tell?'
Scouti says, 'Scout will always try to get on ppls good sides :D'
Aellwen says, 'we should hold monthly meetings like this'
Aellwen says, 'just to find out where people stand'
Esslar seconds
Olmandis says, 'thats ounds good'
Lucillia says, 'Yeah I agree.'
Nathon agrees with Aellwen.
Lokath says, 'Yup.'
Lokath says, 'I love how the number of people has doubled.'
Lucillia And yes intro and wrap up for Essy ;)
Eodor says, 'Err, I'm Eodor, haha. I'm representing the Rohirrim for now and I'm second in command there. As for stories, ours has been a bit quiet lately as our kin leader has been absent, but we're willing to incorperate and work with any other stories out there. :)'
Aellwen says, 'this really helped me I know to get to know people oocly'
You say, 'As soon as we're done I'll be posting the unedited log up in the LoR and putting a link from the official boards, that'll give us a good record of the meetings'
Nathon is trying to find Eodor, but he's invisible..... ninja's.... bah.
Olmandis says, 'let this be a great lesson, though, in where we stand, and whos willing to really go froth from there and rp...i think we have some good connections now.'
Sigald So know you know that Wickit and I are control freaks...and Arion can't sit down.
Nathon found Eodor.
Eodor is jumping to be noticed.
Arion waves to Eodor.
Tanthilan has won the Festival Run, three cheers for Tanthilan!
Wickit says, '::laughs::'
Wickit says, 'Guilty as charged!!!'
Aellwen "I'd just like to give props to Lucilia and Scouti for putting this together. Well done!"
Sigald | Shift-F9 for targeting in RP
Eodor claps his hands.
Langley claps her hands.
Lokath says, 'I bet anyone trying to find an RP ATM is all like... 'Where is everyone?''
Scouti grins.
Lucillia says, '^^'
Nathon nods. "I agree... definately. I think for one, the Bree Justice thing will be a good place for new people to start, or be introduced to RP... and like I told Arion, if he needs help with organizing such, or an alt to participate, I don't mind doing so."
You say, 'Randirim Hall is where it's at!'
Lucillia says, '^^ thankies'
Lucillia says, 'And thanks for loaning the spot Essly'
Olmandis says, 'i mean, heck, we can even caught our certain middle man...maybe..act like youve met afore, heh, do a story around that, heh. Maybe older characters met on the feild inthe battle of the 5, or, heh, someone got incarcerated by someone else, heh...awkwaaard.'
Wickit waves to Hesadryt.
You say, 'anytime ^^ It's probably the best use for the place that I can think of'
Rasksha says, 'Yes, give help to ARION, when he's elected, not RASKSHA'
Sigald waves to Hesadryt.
Scouti grabs a dagger as she spots Hesadryt.
Lucillia waves to Hesa
Sigald | Hesa, step forward into the circle, basic intro for folks that don't know you.
Aellwen says, 'course we should work on getting Arion into a cloth suite more often! He looks good in regular clothes!'
Eodor says, 'Who doesnt know Hesa?'
Aellwen laughs.
Arion *hides from Rasksha's wrath* I'd hoped to help you when this meeting first came up.
Lucillia <- was going to help in her own brigandy way(c)
Hesadryt says, 'I'm hesadryt... I like to take moonlight walks on the beach, eat chili cheese fries from a local college eatery, and play MMO's'
Rasksha says, 'I've been in office for DAYS Naton, no knock on my ooc door.'
Aellwen says, 'lol'
Arion I still would like to. :)
Nathon OOC'ly knocks on Rasksha's door.
Hesadryt says, 'And I'm on the game tonight because my body hurts'
Olmandis says, 'wow...that lil bit of music totally brought out the irish in me...i seriously jigged for the 3 seconds it was going..that was good...real pick me up'
Sigald | Basic IC info?
Lucillia says, 'hehe'
Wickit says, 'Same here, Rasksha...though not sure what -Wickit- could do...'
Hesadryt wants to knock on Rasksha's door... oh great is he thinking outloud again
Aellwen says, 'well a lot of my songs are irish :)'
Lucillia sits down.
Finleigh cheers for Irish songs
Olmandis says, 'way to be, way to be'
You say, 'Is there any other immenant business to be handled tonight?'
Eodor says, 'When do we get refreshments?'
Lucillia says, '=P'
Arion - Did we vote on the hobbit banning yet?
Nathon actually.
Lokath says, 'They left right before you got here, sorry, Hesa.'
Lucillia says, 'Well, not sure what other buissnes, but I'll continue to log if there is.'
Hesadryt says, 'hobbit strippers or hobbits in general?'
Olmandis says, 'hobbit keg at my place...wanna turn it into a war room for the ...more combative rper, heh...also we have a hunting room and booze..all we need is a gun rack and hubcaps on the lawn'
Sigald says, 'Hear hear!'
Lokath says, 'Offer ourselves?'
Eodor says, 'Services Lokath, services.'
Lokath says, 'I'm assuming you mean for RP.'
Sigald shouts, 'Take me!'
Hesadryt says, 'Well Tem, offering ourselves is like elbows and assholes... some are better than others'
Wickit says, 'I was actually looking forward to what would come of Rasksha being in charge of Bree..'
Arion - As was I.
Lokath says, 'Rask, have you actually IC resigned yet?'
Nathon nods "Me too. Rasksha, Arion... whoever. I will help in what way I can."
Olmandis says, 'ya, me to, heh, as ambassador, it was a jumping off point to meet, and eventually throttle her...i mean...good...positive...relationships.'
Hesadryt says, 'Yep I'm claiming Sexism and I this is a sit in'
Langley wasn't. >o>
Hesadryt sits down.
You say, 'Well if that's that then I'd like to thank you all for coming out. The transcript should be up in just a few minutes'
Olmandis shakes his fist angrily at Rasksha!
Olmandis says, 'loooove yoooooou'
Aellwen begins dancing like a Hobbit!
Sigald nods. "Serious discussion on the Justice thing now? I've been out on a shoot all weekend. ))
Lokath says, 'Um, Ess? Get rid of the stupid stuff. All of it.'
You say, 'Nope, it goes up live and uneditted'
Sigald says, 'I sortof wish I hadn't posted on the forum now, but I was finding folks that didnt know about it in game.'
Lokath says, 'Oh, great.'
Nathon www.floatingloginn.com I'll make a forum for it if you all don't want to discuss it toniite.
Eodor says, 'Sweet, lots to read tonight.'
Lucillia says, '=P 'sides some of its really funny'
Hesadryt says, 'Serious!'
Olmandis says, 'Rask won. Take that as you will. But, there a whole lot od...concerns if you will, as to how it was conducted.'
You say, 'yarr =)'
Lokath says, 'Not Hesa asking about strippers.'
Lokath says, 'Oh, that's me with concerns about how it was conducted.'
Aellwen says, 'here Hesa, have some pie'
Olmandis says, 'We were in fact blamming you Sig, yes. but, truth be told, y character suggested you campained, so...'
Hesadryt says, 'We are roleplayers! there is no seriousness 'round here!'
You say, 'In either case, I'm afraid I've got to duck out. It was a fun two and a half hours though. I'm looking forward to the next one.'
You say, 'Ya'll feel free to make yourselves at home and I'll see ya later ^^'
Aellwen says, 'me too!'
You bow.
Lucillia says, '=D thanks for the kin hall sharing and coming! ^^'
Sigald | Later guys!
Lucillia later =)
Eodor flashes a peace sign. "But Not literally..."
Scouti says, 'Thank you all, I hope we can all gather again soon!'
