Welcome to The Golden Hall of Edoras: Meduseld! This is a general OOC thread - the place to bring all OOC comments, questions, collaborations, concerns, comings and goings, etc. The usual Plaza rules apply; especially that one you were just thinking about.

Fields and Forests - Wandering and whimsy
Se Riddermarket - Market Day!
Edoras Infirmary--Mettarë - Like vets, but for people
LeóÞ swá Worð (Hall of Rohirric Histories) - What is your name? What is your quest?
Meduseld Memoirs - Diary entries, and the voyeurs who read them

Regular Rohan OOC Threads:-

Need to get some activity in the Meduseld Memoirs first before it is worthy of being pinned, a link in the OP is probably enough for now.
Do you mean pinned?

Also, I was thinking with Meduseld Memoirs, it might be more likely to get more activity if it is pinned, since it's probably going to be a slower moving thread altogether, and likely to get lost to the second page.

@Wamba_the_Fool I only did half the work for you; I currently lack the inspiration to write the brief explanation of what each thread is beyond 'horsey place' and 'drinking place'. I just wanted to be helpful is all :smooch:

@Allacan ob Burzum @Nia - I'm up for a redemption-attempt in the future if you want. Not in a rush either, have classes starting at the end of the month so will also be losing some Plaza time.

@Queen Nerwen - I understand. I think its fair to say I'm a horse hiding behind a tree...

Crossing my fingers for you @Eldrith!

@Lirimaer Honestly, take as long as you need - a slow pace would be preferable for me personally; I just wanted to make sure I had at least set-up the RP properly and made you feel welcome :hobbyhorse:

Same to @Nia and @Lailorn; a gentle sedate pace whenever you are ready works for me :smooch:

(Adding this here so it doesn't get missed in all the excitement of a new thread):-

In summary, I will most likely be a lot less active in the next two/three weeks while I learn how to work/life balance again, but I fully intend to still be a regular enough plaza-ite that I can keep up with the role-playing stories I am currently involved in, even if I won't be around every day. If any of you who have already achieved some success in fitting plaza around work have any advice, I am open to any and all suggestions because I do NOT want to miss out on the fun here!

I actually like that we *don’t* have pinned threads. I don’t care enough that I’ll be upset if we do, but just throwing it out there. All our threads are equally important! If they’re a slow thread, folks can just go to page 2, and maybe get reminded of other cool threads!

I will counter that by saying sometimes I am deliberately looking for a slower thread and *cannot find it* even when I'm staring right at it. So having some pinned would help save my sanity a little, at least. :embarrassed:

Concur. Or just pin this one, since it's got links to the others now. But pinning, e.g., the mail thread seems unnecessary to me.

@Aodh Hammerhelm is it ok if Taeth leaves her order at the shop? Shiva's planning a time skip when the next Riddermarket opens on Sunday and at least one of the things she needs commissioned needs to be done before that. The keys can wait, if they're even possible. The other thing can't.

@Wamba_the_Fool - New link for Life in the Mark - now titled Life in the Mark II.

@Aodh Hammerhelm and @Elarith - if Elarith is able to post sometime in the next 12-18 hours, can Amethyst take Taeth's order down in the Riddermarket? Or can I have permission to godmod Amethyst a bit, Elarith, if Aodh isn't able to get to me before this Riddermarket thread closes?

@Taethowen Sure! Going to post later tonight so that should tie up

Sorry to other folks I’ve been RPing with, Wednesdays - whilst nominally my ‘day off’ during the week - always end up being slammed, and yesterday just ended up being a bit of a nightmare (teething screaming banshee baby plus toddler who can use the potty but now refuses to in favour of wetting herself - sigh.) Catching up tonight!

I agree, I think maintaining this one and having a single pinned thread is probably best.

Thanks, bit better today and I have £15 worth of slabs of chocolate in my fridge so improving! Caught up on Riddermarket at least

Agree with the only one pinned thread. I'm not keen on having too many pinned ones especially when we have the Plaza-wide pinned ones at the top as well.

Also laughed a lot at @Wamba_the_Fool's thread descriptions!

So what about these alleged Bard's Guild and Story Guild and Raedboda Planning Thread? Are they listed out of nostalgia or are they going to become Real Threads again someday? If so, that'd be pretty sweet.

If there's actual interest in a Story Guild, I would be game for setting it up again. I know I ran it for a while on Old Plaza. Not sure if the kingdom is quite active enough as a whole for a devoted newsletter (the Rædboda), though, unless people get creative.

@Wamba_the_Fool or @Bereth would probably be the best bets right now for running a Bard's Guild. My actual singing voice is decent, but not my skill at crafting song.

Nostalgia / joking from whoever posted them in the Golden Hall II thread. I always intended to only have them up for a little bit so folk could have a larf; just took them down when I edited the Life in the Mark II thread. Oh yeah, @Taethowen, I updated that link!

Hey Everyone! Good news: no Covid. I am still on heavy antibiotics (they started them as we waited for the result because I have a history of infections). There may need to be a follow up dr. Visit regarding the elephant in my chest but expect me back sometime in the next few days.

A note to all the Shopkeepers in the Riddermarket: @Rowena Ellenweorc @Aethelu @Thalionwen Hunigfolm @Taethowen @Elarith @Eléowyn @Gwai @Aodh Hammerhelm @Veowyn and @Winddancer

There is a new rule for Riddermarket shopkeepers. All Shopkeepers must post at least once per thread (one thread will be 4-6 weeks, depending on posting numbers). If a shopkeeper does not post for a full thread, I will place the shop on the "closed" list and contact them to find out if they wish to keep their shop. If I don't get a reply by the end of the next thread and they don't post, the shop(s) they own will be put for sale.

This is in order to keep the marketplace varied and active, and to give people more opportunities to RP. Obviously if you need a break/wont' be on plaza for a bit and can't post, that's fine. Just let me know so I can place your shop on the closed list, and it can be re-opened if needed. Please note though that if this is the case and your shop is on the closed list for 2 or more threads (2-3 months), It will be put up for sale. That way shops aren't being kept for people who are not active and others who want to run them can have the chance.

I think for IC purposes I need to hang a closed sign on Leoht Min Fyre temporarily. Beda will need a few days to sort things out before she returns to the shop.

@Shivased I know I disappeared in August, but I have seen your new rule for the Market, and will be in the new one. If I am really needed aside from that, and plain mentioning me is not getting me fast enough, any one, please, reach out to me in the discord or facebook, email, wherever. I have littles, and do not always have time to give notice before I disappear, but I am not really that hard to get a hold of.

@Shivased so if you have no customers, the shop keeper just needs to rp with themselves and that will count? Cause I have only had one customer, IN ALL MY SHOPS! (loves on Lail) Sometimes being a dragon is hard.. *does dragon pouty lips*

@Winddancer Yep, that's it. Historically people have just posted tending their shops. Tidying, crafting wares, stuff like that. For myself I'll typically do a post at the beginning of a thread opening my shops for the day and then go from there. If nobody comes into my shops, I may not post again for the thread, but at least people can look and see I'm there and ready.

@Veowyn that's fine! Like I said, If someone isn't active in the marketplace for a full thread, I'll contact them. It won't just be a tag - It will definitely be an attempt on discord or email too.

@Eléowyn No problem. You want me to put it on the closed list for you for now? It can be taken off any time.

@Winddancer Taeth is planning to drop by! Not for quite the same reasons as she would have in the last thread anymore, but she's studiously avoiding discussing a, ah, certain situation (involving a certain man) with the only hælend she actually knows out of sheer embarrassment/fear of lectures.

@Aodh Hammerhelm & @Elarith For IC purposes, I need to assume that Taeth has already acquired the key copies she requested. However, I plan to have her stop and pick up the other commission during this Riddermarket thread.

@Taethowen Taeth will be more than welcome! And Sigrid is not old enough to give lectures, at least not in her mind. She will provide advice, but accepts that it is up to people to follow them or not and she doesn't care if someone is a bit "naughty" and is definitely not a gossip either! :)

Never fear. By the time Rusty makes it back to Edoras, the shop will likely be open again, or near. Beda just needs a bit of time to pull herself together. I would suggest that when he does visit, he might take a look at some of the soaps also for sale. :tongue:
