I've been pretty upset this weekend, especially yesterday, so I needed to blow off some steam and vent through cute little Rondo @Nessa Saelind . I'm most likely to abuse "fleeging" as an adjective expletive as well as "fleeg" as a disparaging noun and vulgar verb in honor of @The King in Yellow often in the days to come. Mostly used by Rondo, Beren, Aigronding, Hatholdir, Ann, Elmarya, and even Galdor of the Tree. I'm glad it made you laugh, makes me feel a little better.

I (and Fleeg) will happily oblige this, in return though, you must cast your vote for MotM forthwith and get everyone else in Imladris to vote as well :lol:

I sent in my nomination for Member of the Month just a few moments ago! Not sure how to get everyone else in Imladris aboard since there's only a few of us RP'ing here in the forum who bear the kingdom flower and most of them I don't talk to much unfortunately.

Hello everyone, I hope you are fine. I'm sorry for my absence the past months, I just went through a super extreme exam phase :brickwall:
However, I'm definitely back now, but I've got two questions:

1. Are the rules about rp as a canon character still the same (meaning, am I able to post as Legolas or other LotR characters if the specific rp thread doesn't forbid it)?

2. Why is the Lindon Masquerade closed, now I didn't get the chance to let Legolas talk to Arwen :cry: :confused:

1. Yes the rules are still the same.

2. Because threads do have an end date and Annu ended it. Don't worry there are more Masquerades planned so you'll get to talk to Arwen again eventually at a ball!

Yes, what Fuin said, @Legolas ! I'll update all the OPs of my activities/threads currently so it's known which canons I'm playing. I'll see you in the Last Homely House! I'm returning to Imladris updates this week; I've been getting some of my Mortal NPCs grounded in the Gondor Forum recently.

Thanks for the new day cue at Osdolen, @Moriel ! I have thought of what to do with that for months, slowly coming to grips with our few Ranger numbers on New Plaza. Now I'll begin a new Osdolen arc there I've had in planning. Cassie and I will see you in Paths soon! 😘

@Fuin Elda and @Tharmáras thanks for your replies :smile:

@Tharmáras I posted in the last homely house thread a while ago and just edited it again (I kind of misunderstood something ^^). Basically Legolas is in need of a room, so would you want me to make another post and have him approach Erestor or do you want to make Erestor approach Legolas?

Hey, @Annúnfalas Firstly, yeah, I would definitely like to post in the Rivendell Masquerade RP as Legolas and sure! Let's have Arwen and Legolas conversate and perhaps even feast with Elrond in his hall :smile: . We could then perhaps also integrate the topic of Isildur's heir into the conversation at the table, before we have Arwen and Legolas take off and talk on in private.

Secondly, a real conversation 'never happened' at the ball but we can definitely act like it did and have them visit the local seafront shops and speak with the locals as an after-interaction. That's actually a really nice idea too :smile: .

Furthermore, I came accross this comment on https://www.quora.com/What-was-the-rela ... nd-Legolas, which I thought is a quite interesting point concerning the relationship between Arwen and Legolas:
As others point out, there is probably no relationship (between Legolas and Arwen) at all until after the fall of Sauron and the restoration of the kingship in Gondor. Arwen probably got to know Legolas as her husband’s friend and as the leader of the Elven colony in Ithilien. As Mary Tower points out, it is possible that they are distantly related, but it’s nowhere stated.

It seems to me unlikely that they were acquainted prior to the events of LotR. Legolas is clearly not a great traveler. He has never visited Lothlorien, at least not since the mallorns were planted, so he couldn’t have met Arwen during one of her visits there. There’s no indication that he has spent much time visiting Rivendell either. Dialogue in RotK, “The Passing of the Grey Company” suggests that he had never met Elladan and Elrohir (despite the popular fan-fiction notion that Legolas and the twins are buddies.) The fan-fiction notion that Legolas and Arwen had a “thing” is entirely unsupported.
Since the Plaza-RP is basically fan fiction, I actually thought about the possibility to have them meet in Lothlorien or Mirkwood in the furture. Basically I'm just wondering about how canon orriented I can stay concerning the RP with Legolas - for example in relation to him not being a great traveler in canon.

I've given @Annúnfalas permission to play Arwen in all my Imladris threads because she's amazing with her and for continuity's sake :smooch: . I'm borrowing Arwen for Gondor forum because my NPC Airien is her handmaiden (or lady-in-waiting there) but I'll have Airien interact with Annúnfalas's take on Arwen for continuity between both forums :grin: .

I cannot afford to miss the opportunitiy of having Aragorn present because Arwen is in LHH now and @Legolas as well. Aragorn travels frequently we know. How about he already knows Legolas but he's an aquaitance by this point?

Before I go back to burying my head in my current reading material I suppose the right and honourable thing would be to keep my word :nod:

@Annúnfalas if the position for Lord Círdan's court physician (or apprentice to said physician, we're humble humans here :winkkiss: ) is still open I'd like to formally apply for that position with my NPC Aléxandros al-Samarkandi. (who is currently trying very hard to reach the stone quay in Forlond but his author got stuck in Pelargir because things happened...). I don't know if he/I/we make it in time for the cruise, I don't want to promise things I don't know if I can fulfil or hold the thing up, but he'll reach Lindon eventually. Apparently, after many detours :lol:

Oh and if I may, a side question: is it possible to use location banners created for the Ages of Arda outside Ages of Arda?

Thanks in advance for everything :smooch: now I'm going to go bury my head in the book and hopefully finish it tonight. That would be really lovely. ^_^

@Annúnfalas - Thank you! *hugs* I'm really looking forward to RP-ing here with all you amazing folks and seeing what stories can we weave together *hug*

@Moriel - regarding the banners I was just interested in borrowing one (ok maybe more than one, depending on how things fall :lol: ) of them from the post that I linked. I know others made more banners and, of course, I would ask if I wanted to use them. :nod: Just a bit of clarification from my side if I was erm not clear :confused: :lol: It was late, I'm sorry. :embarrassed:

Attention to all: I'll take a look around Imladris and Gondor starting tonight and see what posts I need to put back in from March onward. I'm putting my Ost-Halatir update this evening after work @Fuin Elda , it's one of the posts I saved on WordPad on my laptop. I'll put back in my Valley post at Linyamaril as well, @Fane Mordagnir , tonight. I'll begin looking at what's on the Google Drive, too.

Honestly I can admit I have almost no posts from Imladris saved so post when and whatever you can Tharmaras

I remember 90% of the ones lost? I do have 1 post from Tingdain saved (a response to @Ercassie ) where I'm switching you from doing bracers to the scabbard but otherwise everything else is gone from Tingdain for me.

This is what I get for writing fast enough I don't need to do it in another program OTHER than plaza lol

@Fuin Elda, I have the first half of my total posts for Tingdain saved, by pure luck. So I have as far as up to where Erfaron responded to being accused of murdering his new mentor ! I appreciate that is only two posts more than were restored anyway for me, and as things currently sit in the thread Fuin hasn't even gotten to the point where she passes out from her hard labours yet. So if you want to recreate that, I can bring back my posts of coming to find you after. If you'd rather I have the Mole return before the little swooning incident/all outcry ensued, then we can take it up fresh from where it currently is ? I don't mind either way. :winkkiss:

@Ercassie you can begin posting as you like, I am not sure how many of his posts @Tharmáras has saved... I can tell you that I do NOT have any of mine saved, so I will be recreating mine from scratch for the Tingdain. So if you ware wanting it to be done tonight start wise I'm afraid we will have to pretend I've made that post already and I'll flash back it in the response to you.

If it can wait (since really Aig's post is also needed) I'll try to have it up in a day or so.

@Ercassie and @Fuin Elda , I have quite a number of posts saved since March because around that time I got into the habit of saving content on Wordpad. It seems that I have a document called 'Tingdain1' and I've opened that on my laptop; it's the post where Aig finds Fuin fainted and Thar accuses Erfaron of murder. That one I could post for y'all after Fuin writes Fuin forging Aewruca's sword and collapsing? I have a feeling that I had a post before this though but I can't find it yet. I'm working on looking over the Halatir update that ends with Caselda speaking to Afarfin about the lamp currently.

@Fuin Elda and @Tharmáras, I shall wait all polite-like then. After how long it took me to post back in Tingdain before, I can hardly tell you to rush, now can I ? Honestly, I am fine with you taking what time you need. I have at least my next two posts ready. Then I'll have to re-do the ones from there anew, just like you. :winkkiss:

@Rillewen, your new shiny Lond Daer thread is a wonderful idea. I have moved my first post for our little adventure over there accordingly. :clap: :grin:

@Rillewen and @Ercassie I like the idea of Lond Daer! If you ever want it to be at odds with Bar- en Raveara which I've written in as having it's own dock and ship yard in Gondors Arnor thread (which is populated by pirates) I'm happy to play an antagonist for anyone that wants in there.

Secondly, the adventure at Lond Daer currently has a mix of pirates (well, Corsairs) and rangers and elves so your little family would have to pick a side if you get involved. :tongue:

@Ercassie and @Tharmáras I've gotten my post back up for the Tingdain as I said it's a rewrite, so it won't be perfectly the same but I think I got it close enough that it will work if you have your own posts saved. The end result is the same the sword is done and pristine and Fuin is unconcious by the work bench.

I have just put my first of two saved posts up for Tingdain. I realise that although it reads as though @Tharmáras's characters are already there, this was in fact what was agreed between us offsite, because he had told me what Erfaron would find there on his return; ie Aig and Tharmaras already standing aghast at having found the Mastersmith on the floor. :wink:

@Ercassie that's fine! Now we just need to wait for @Tharmáras to post what he has so we can continue. @Fane Mordagnir do you know if you have the posts you did make in the Tingdain? If you've got them then @Nessa Saelind can worry about other things other than the Tingdain as the biggest hump for me was getting that sword reposted as it will only be my own posts missing if everyone else has theirs.

I'll be there either Monday or Tuesday on my days off, @Ercassie @Revered Grandmother . I'm finishing editing the Hath repost in Halatir then I'll repost edited Tingdain before completing the edited Halatir Calselda update. Hopefully I can finish all the reposts needed soon before returning to AoA for y'all and the others.⚘

Thank you, @Nessa Saelind 🤗 ! It's nice to have the old Constabulary emblems returned. The ones I found had all Photobucket watermarks. I'll insert these in the Archives post and will post its been updated inside that thread when I'm ready to repost the Hill Watch, I have the OP and IC saved.

@Tharmáras we can expect a Tingdain post either Monday or Tuesday so we can work on getting back to where we were at? Because that would be fantastic since you've got it and Halatir written at least so it's just the editing you need to do.
