The Halls of Durin’s Folk (OOC)
Yes, we were all silly poets back then, but it was fun. I often think of Doc. Have you ever heard from him? I too find it hard to use the phone. Enjoy the lore and the Plaza. Maybe we shall see you around the Mountain too, eh?
The world was fair in Durin's Day
It was indeed fun. When I went to uni I lost contact with everyone so unfortunately haven't heard from him. I will certainly try to pop in from time to time.
All done! :D
And @Blue silk sword catching up is just as good <3

Hi there !

Howdy
In the deeps of Time, amidst the Innumerable Stars
I thought it was adorable that you let my little dove and her mate live even though I was happy to sacrifice them, Fuin. My favorite line from your post was this one --
Maecheneb might not mind so much..
Glad you liked that line I was chortling when I wrote it, and I figured I'd pull a David Attenborough and have have her eat a different 'less fortunate member of the flock' Thanks for the fun little RP! I will likely have my falcon fly off and out into the well noon day I suppose since we just had sunrise lol
I loved everything about it, Fuin! It was perfect!
Just a quick note of warning to all of you, if you go after Urgi in the character elimination game, I will find you and eat you all
Strange Fruit got holes in the flesh but it ain't gonn' spoil cause it never was fresh
Did you kill Mushu?
No, but I'll kill WD if I have to

If you didnt kill Mushu then you are all good <3
Hi @Lailyn ! I would love to play your game. May I use Khazad-dûm as a location or does it strictly have to be in Erebor/Dale ? I kind of fancy my birds having a nest on the side of Zirakzigil.
The world was fair in Durin's Day
@Afird Splitax oh yes, absolutely go for it! I'm excited to see your Zirakzigil nest.
I'm just peaking in to say that I love everyone's birbs and other characters, of course, in Lail's Build a nest game! Everyone's posts are so creative and fun I just wanted to let everyone know you're very talented and amazing!
She/her.

I am loving them, too, of course! <3
@Afird Splitax So how do we want to do the Scrimmage elimination game? I remember which ones were eliminated and I remember most of the points that they were at (The only one I'm not sure on was Velm? I think that's who you were playing with in terms of elimnating other critters?
@Revered Grandmother - I believe Velm was at 18 points. I say let's keep going if you know the stats.
The world was fair in Durin's Day
@Afird Splitax Okay give me a bit I'll get them up officially if you want to update the rules so that the 24 hrs rule before double posting is back in
Thanks!

Good evening all, New Soul here. I am pleased to see the Plaza back in a new incarnation - much success to it and many thanks to its new Admin Team.
It is my hope that Tolkien's legend will adopt a new generation of online fans once the Silmarillion mini-series airs and the Plaza will be THE place for all lovers of Middle-Earth and its histories to congregate again and share their thoughts and writings. It's exciting to be writing again.
Well, let's see where this goes.

Hi @Rollo the Red, welcome!! Glad you found us! We're in Halloween mode for October so things look a little different for now. Hop in and have fun!
Greetings @Rollo the Red ! Cold Drake aka Drifa, Alfird Spitax, Bikki, at your service! Welcome!

Many thanks for your welcoming words! *Bows low* At your service, and your family's also!
Belated welcome @Rollo the Red! And welcome @Balin, Lord of Moria! Always good to get new fodder members!
I have never heard this before. So excited!

@Fuin Elda - Hahaha, I spent the whole day yesterday trying to decide if the dwarves should make a truce and a temporary alliance with the crebian and kill the orc instead. How do you want to proceed? Cause this back and forth can go on for some time, eh?
Also, I believe Velm and Bolrag should be up 1 point. Velm was at 19 at the end of the archive pages, Bolrag 25. Velm started with only 18 and Bolrag 24 after the crash. I checked it several times (instead of posting and getting my point back ). Pretty sure there were no negative - posts before we resumed. I just thought I would note this if we continue.

Considering was doing the points from memory I didn't do bad lol. We didn't have the archived thread when we restarted. Those two points would have to be taken from somewhere probably another dwarf to keep the totals right. That said...
I gotta admit not really willing to truce the dwarves we're just gonna end up in the same place but with about 10 points more each and then right back to where we are your welcome to go after the orc though on your own.

I can break the back and forth.. who will pay me the most chocolate? Hehe..
Yeah, you did a pretty good job with the scores, Fuin. Thanks!. I adjusted Velm and Bolrag's scores. I was kidding about the truce. I meant with proceeding is, do you want to continue the back and forth?
Chocolate for Windy! Sweeten her up even more!

I mean I've got who my character is going after you're absolutely welcome to change who you are going after.
Also chocolate? I mean if that's what you want I'm always more partial to garlic bread for bribery. That might be the ukrainian in me though.

Whoever didn't kill the bear should be the victor, that's all the input I'm gonna give
Strange Fruit got holes in the flesh but it ain't gonn' spoil cause it never was fresh
It wasn't the dwarf or the bird that killed the bear. It was @I hate Eärendil, the scoundrel. Could you toss a coin?
@Fuin Elda @Romeran
So, having started this elimination game way back in March of last year, I never considered what would happen if there were only dwarves remaining. If it were all Orcs or Extras left, I would have no qualms about letting them choose to destroy each other. But I can not consciously allow dwarves to kill dwarves. Especially not now, seeing as how they are all huddled together in their barricade making toast over the fire and singing songs.
I do not want to change the rules but, I have decided that the game will be over if the remaining orc and bird become eliminated before the dwarves. Thanks for playing!

Yeah I was actually thinking about what happens if there are only dwarves left. Maybe I'll have to start playing that orc killing off dwarves
I wholeheartedly support more people playing orcs

@Drifa I sort of was wondering that when you started going after Rhafna with Fali instead of playing Bolrag before, I figured something would have to give there (though I did have fun sending Fali off the deep end for a few swings) I am glad to see we have more people playing Bolrag now lol See how long the orc and crow last now.
Sereg a Dîn
Well now that we have like four people fairly involved we might actually break the stalemate that appeared to be the case before. Although if the raven doesn't win I'll be amazed.
That's craban to you, young man
Strange Fruit got holes in the flesh but it ain't gonn' spoil cause it never was fresh
Indeed lol @Romeran at the very best it would be crow not a raven... I think the dwarves might even take offense to my nasty little Rhafna being called a raven
@Fuin Elda And @Romeran I thought some warrior dwarf or hero would show up to help me kill the orc and bird. But "warriors are busy fighting one another in distant lands, and in this neighborhood heroes are scarce, or simply not to be found."
I shall be back swinging my axes shortly.

@Frost and @Romeran - Hey guys! When did another character (Balrog) suddenly become part of the game? The last time I looked, there were only three characters left; Velm, Bolrag and Rhafna.
The world was fair in Durin's Day
As there are only three characters left in the game, and four players still playing, Rome and I decided it give Bolrag a split personality (Balrog) that I could use so as to not interfere with anything Rome was doing with Bolrag. Hope that's alright? We can drop it if it messes with the game.
Strange Fruit got holes in the flesh but it ain't gonn' spoil cause it never was fresh
Ignore me, please. It was early in the morning when I posted, and for some reason, I thought a new character had been introduced. Which one has, but it's just the name and, oh, never mind, carry on !
The world was fair in Durin's Day
Just causing a little chaos nbd
Yeah, I was confused, guys. My apologies.
It looks like the bird is dealing with covid. I hope all is going well with you, @Fuin Elda .

The world was fair in Durin's Day
Yeah was dealing (and still sorta am?) with covid I"ve been lucky I haven't gotten it but aside from my sister in law my entire family has now had it - my dad is finally feeling better but still testing positive a doctor told him he may test positive for up to a year because of how immuno compromised he is so that may throw some wrenches in our plans but we will see. So yeah a bit exhausted from being the grocery delivery girl for two extra households since where I live does not have curb side pick up nor does it have delivery. Otherwise things are going well at least.
Sereg a Dîn
So are we going to war between the crow and the orc or are we calling this battle? @Drifa @Romeran
It's gonna be a long haul either way if we keep going I think.
It's gonna be a long haul either way if we keep going I think.
Sereg a Dîn
I'll leave that up to the GM @Drifa to decide. I'm happy either way, possibly @Frost may continue to play Bolrag's second personality but I agree that it'll be a long haul.
I say we kill the orc,@Fuin Elda! I am willing to don feathers for the occasion and participate more. And, if, as @Romeran says, @Frost participates it will be somewhat even.
Also, we can take more points away so that it does not drag on for another year, eh?
But if you are all played out, I understand too.
