Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza

1. If you could live in any fantasy world OTHER than Middle Earth, which would it be and why? Old Star Trek's, because it's our future where (mostly) everything has worked out and there's a positive upbeatness about the state of the world and the future. I know grimdark and gritty "realism" are not fantasies I would want to live in.

2. Favorite fruit or vegetable?Fruit? Apples, honeycrisp. Vegetable? Broccoli, steamed.

3. If you had to switch kingdoms and RP in *only* your new kingdom for the rest of time, which would you choose? I'd come here to Mordor, if for no other reason than I'd be mad about having my kingdom switched and my freedom restricted. And this seems like a good place to be angry all the time.

1. If you could live in any fantasy world OTHER than Middle Earth, which would it be and why? The Mistborn Universe! Only if I can do the magic there though :D
2. Favorite fruit or vegetable? Tomatoes!
3. If you had to switch kingdoms and RP in *only* your new kingdom for the rest of time, which would you choose? Probably Gondor, I am already posting there :P

1. If you could live in any fantasy world OTHER than Middle Earth, which would it be and why? The wizard world of Harry Potter, because using magic to make life easier sounds very pleasant. And there are so many interesting jobs to specialise in.
2. Favorite fruit or vegetable? Green grapes or watermelon
3. If you had to switch kingdoms and RP in *only* your new kingdom for the rest of time, which would you choose? Mordor. I've called it home before, and have always been comfortable amongst the mayhem here.

1. If you could live in any fantasy world OTHER than Middle Earth, which would it be and why? Hmmm. Narnia?.... Sounds like a very enjoyable world.
2. Favourite fruit or vegetable? Bananas.
3. If you had to switch kingdoms and RP in *only* your new kingdom for the rest of time, which would you choose? Seriously? Gondor and only Gondor, nowhere else, if it has to be *only*.

1. If you could live in any fantasy world OTHER than Middle Earth, which would it be and why? Well @Moriel and I were talking about Redwall the other day so it would be either that or the world of Malazan, Book of the Fallen
2. Favorite fruit or vegetable? Fruit: Dragonfruit, vegetable: Brussels Sprouts
3. If you had to switch kingdoms and RP in *only* your new kingdom for the rest of time, which would you choose? But... but... I don't wanna change kingdoms! If I were forced though, I supposed I'd have to pick Imladris because there's a good mix of RP and games and potential craziness.

1. If you could live in any fantasy world OTHER than Middle Earth, which would it be and why? ZOMG Redwall. I have to hop on this train. I want to go to one of those feasts. I'd probably be an otter.

2. Favorite fruit or vegetable? Mm, I think I'll go with kiwi.

3. If you had to switch kingdoms and RP in *only* your new kingdom for the rest of time, which would you choose? Ahh, if I had to switch... Probably Mordor. And then I'd break the rules anyway and post wherever- cuz minion.

1. If you could live in any fantasy world OTHER than Middle Earth, which would it be and why? Either Tamora Pierce's world, specifically Tortall, or anywhere other than Carthak tbh, because I would love to have the Gift and use magic and speak to the gods, but really, I think my heart lies with Star Trek - either Next Gen or Voyager era, because I really want to believe that humans can achieve all that and work together with alien races and create all this wonderful technology.

2. Favorite fruit or vegetable? Fruit would be watermelon, especially at room temperature when it is perfectly ripe. For vegetable, hm, that's more tricky as there are loads I like...maybe parsnips? Oh, no, sweet potato, it's so versatile. I use it to make brownies all the time!

3. If you had to switch kingdoms and RP in *only* your new kingdom for the rest of time, which would you choose? That's a tough one. Back in the day it would have been easy, but on this Nu Plaza I think I feel more at ease joining in RP in more places, like Mordor, which I never would have even entered before. Ok, ok, pick one...The Shire...it's just really comfortable to be a hobbit.

1. If you could live in any fantasy world OTHER than Middle Earth, which would it be and why? So many through the ages have captured my fancy - HP, Star Wars, Star Trek, Narnia, MCU, Earthsea, Wheel of Time, ASOIAF, The Dark is Rising (Susan Cooper), Pern, Vampire Chronicles, Stargate, to name a few - I think, now I'd choose ... Labyrinth. no no no ... Stargate Atlantis forever!

2. Favorite fruit or vegetable? Peas; if you had nothing else, you could live on them. Petis pois, though, not garden peas. Definitely not mushy peas. Mange tout is fine, or sugar snap peas ... they go with everything.

3. If you had to switch kingdoms and RP in *only* your new kingdom for the rest of time, which would you choose? To not RP, probably. But Mordor offers the most scope for all kinds of characters, so you can get away with most things.

1. If you could live in any fantasy world OTHER than Middle Earth, which would it be and why? Pern, of course! Ideally not during Thread, though.
2. Favorite fruit or vegetable? Honestly I like all fruits and veggies except beets, so that's hard. Probably cherries or blackberries (or raspberries or blueberries or strawberries or peaches or or or) for fruit, and tomatoes from my garden for vegetables. Or asparagus, or snap peas, or roasted brussels sprouts.
3. If you had to switch kingdoms and RP in *only* your new kingdom for the rest of time, which would you choose? Uh I would clearly pick whatever and then make a sneaky new account and join the Shire again. I do like RPing in other kingdoms more than I used to, though!

Handing the reins over to @Moriel for being the first person to bring up Redwall, the book series that built me.

@Thalionwen They were similarly formative for me :smiley8: REDWAAAAAAAALLL!!!

This is Mordor, so:
1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie?
2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why?
3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not?

I also love Redwall @Moriel and @Thalionwen EUALALIAAAAAA

1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie? POWER! I like power. And the outfits.
2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why? I've only played human baddies...but maybe a bad elf!
3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not? My beard twitches....

1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie? You get to use all the gruesome, negative imagery you don't really otherwise get a chance to use.
2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why? I think some kind of orc would be fun. But I guess some kinda horrific human being would be pretty easy, given there's enough of them in the real world to model on.
3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not? I've answered all the above hypothetically, as the last time I did any role-playing was probably around 2010ish, and I only ever role-played being an Ent or being a pretty boringly goodie-two-shoes human. But take this as a promise that I will play a baddie as my first role-playing post here, when that time finally comes.

LOGALOGALOGALOGALOGALOG!

@Lailyn Enchanted Forest! <3

1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie? Yelling insults at people.
2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why? Erm, I don't feel qualified to answer this question. I do like thieving, con artist types?
3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not? Honestly, I'm just here for the Redwall battle cries.

1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie? Saying mean, nasty things with no repercussions. Working in retail creates the need for this to come out in some form - and RP'ing as a baddie is one way to achieve that. That would be one of the reasons why I've spent so much time in Mordor over the years.
2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why? Orcsies, because it's fun being gross and unruly and aggressive. And writing dialogue and imagining it in the orcish accent used in the movies is extremely satisfying.
3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not? Yeah why not!

1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie? I only enjoy playing villains so over the top that I can't help but laugh.
2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why? Wizard, I don't really ever swap away from playing wizards.
3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not? Once upon a time, you practically had to be a minion to participate in Mordor...

1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie? Tapping into the twisted side of my imagination and see how much I can shock people
2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why? Well Winddancer was an elf, I guess I like corrupting what is generally seen to be good, into evil :D
3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not? Guess I can skip this one :P

1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie? I don't know yet but I will update you in two weeks once Thalionwen's RAPID moral decline has inevitably bottomed out

2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why? I don't know about species, but hypothetically the type of baddie I'd like to play is the sort who is blithely ignorant or uncaring regarding their own badness, and can find 8 million excuses with which to justify their actions and make it seem as if they are still walking in the light. And maybe they are still on the side of light sometimes, because their badness and goodness are incidental to just being an absolute chaos entity (Yes my alignment is always Chaotic Something)

3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not? I'm working on it, it's a process

I'll join @Aerlinn with the LOGALOGALOG!

1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie? with a lack of a moral compass, a character is able to explore themselves and their environs more fully, they unleashed for the dogmatic structure of moralism and therefore have a more honest choice in what they do or don't do
2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why? Uruks, they don't have just be a slave race, they can develop a culture all their own that separates them from merely large and intimidating orcs. Humans are a close second because there's no telling what sort of thing they'll do given any circumstance
3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not? Ahem... I'm the bad guy

1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie? Being strange and goofy.
2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why? Mmm I dunno. Odd unspecified slithery creeturs.
3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not? ...now kiss.

1. What's your favorite thing about playing a baddie? I don't play a baddie. My baddest character is a moody rider
2. What is your favorite species of baddie to play? Why? Don't have a favourite.
3. If you're hanging out here and haven't played a baddie yet, why not? I tried an NPC orc for a game once, it felt really uncomfortable, like clothes that don't suit you. IRL I'm the least baddie person ever, I guess it is just too alien to me. I can do sweet, silly, loud, sociable, maybe even sneak in some jealous and moody, but there isn't enough in there to make a full on baddie

I'm gonna go with @Rior Laegiel having the audacity

1. If your main character had to pack up and move to another region tomorrow, where would they go? Rivendell, as it is safe and pleasant for a hobbit, and Bree is along the way which is somewhere Dwim Took does a bit of business.
2. Which character would you want to trade lives with if you could go to Middle-Earth? Bilbo perhaps, because he went on a great adventure and saw fascinating parts of the world, but for the most part lived a simple and relaxing life. That's all I could ask for really.
3. If there was a zombie apocalype in Middle-Earth, who would start it and why? The orcs because they're the ones always eating man-flesh.

1. If your main character had to pack up and move to another region tomorrow, where would they go? Gondor. I am already rp'ing there, so it would be a smoothe enough transition and I have been in Gondor before :P
2. Which character would you want to trade lives with if you could go to Middle-Earth? Frodo, so many loyal friends <3
3. If there was a zombie apocalype in Middle-Earth, who would start it and why? Grima Wormtongue, cause he wants world domination.

1. If your main character had to pack up and move to another region tomorrow, where would they go? Gondor...or Mordor.
2. Which character would you want to trade lives with if you could go to Middle-Earth? Possibly Bilbo, he's loving life now.
3. If there was a zombie apocalypse in Middle-Earth, who would start it and why? Denethor, that dude is bitter!

1. If your main character had to pack up and move to another region tomorrow, where would they go? Imladris maybe? Gondor and Rohan are too serious for him and would see through his schemes too quickly for him to get anywhere and he'd end up on the swinging end of a gallows
2. Which character would you want to trade lives with if you could go to Middle-Earth? That's tough, on the one hand I think it'd be awesome to be in the middle of all the action but at the same time I'd like to just sit around and be out of the way of all that, that being said though, I might pick someone like Fatty Bolger who was part of the action for awhile then got to sit back (albeit in prison) and wait
3. If there was a zombie apocalypse in Middle-Earth, who would start it and why? Pippen, he'd knock whatever experimental substance/animal/plot device on accident because it was begging to be screwed around with.

1. If your main character had to pack up and move to another region tomorrow, where would they go? My main character is akin to Tom Bombadil, in that she is essentially a tree spirit, and similar to the maia in origins. Therefore, if she can't be in Fangy, she is probably most a home in the Old Forest near the Shire, and would end up there. She hasn't actually come out to play in NuPlaza yet as there isn't somewhere that feels comfortable for her. My main NPC is a Rider, and she would probably move to Gondor.
2. Which character would you want to trade lives with if you could go to Middle-Earth? Gandalf - his sense of righteousness and yet accepting never being strong enough to overcome the power of the Ring, plus being able to ride Shadowfax, and his ability to travel far and wide.
3. If there was a zombie apocalype in Middle-Earth, who would start it and why? Some fool of a Took would stumble into the Barrowdowns and raise a zombie army from the dead.

1. If your main character had to pack up and move to another region tomorrow, where would they go? Fangorn. It has the same small, not quite fitting in with the smaller/more populous races, feeling that I like.
2. Which character would you want to trade lives with if you could go to Middle-Earth? Gaffer. I ain't a hero, but I respect Bilbo and have a strong sense of righteousness. Plus, get to live a long, almost entirely peaceful life in the Shire.
3. If there was a zombie apocalypse in Middle-Earth, who would start it and why? I think Saruman's horrific cross-breeding experimentation and brash arrogance is most likely to produce a zombie apocalypse. Accidental carriers would unknowingly bring the virus via the trade routes to Bree and all of Eregion, as well as Rohan and through them, Gondor. what a nightmare!

1. If your main character had to pack up and move to another region tomorrow, where would they go? Given that Thali is basically splitting her time between Rohan and Mordor right now, because she loves drama and complicating her own life, maybe Gondor. She likes places that have a lot going on, so she can wreak unintentional havoc
2. Which character would you want to trade lives with if you could go to Middle-Earth? Rosie Cotton. Unlike Thali, I don't like drama, and would prefer to just stay quietly in the Shire while everyone else goes adventuring. Plus, I would have poisoned Saruman's ale.
3. If there was a zombie apocalypse in Middle-Earth, who would start it and why? Pre-kingship Aragorn, as he seems to spend most of his time being filthy in the wilderness

1. If your main character had to pack up and move to another region tomorrow, where would they go? - Well, I'm not in a region as yet. Debating betwtween Mordor and the White Council. And Fangorn, because Mojo. And Khazad Dum, because I was there for a little bit. But Oin isn't here, so maybe not.
2. Which character would you want to trade lives with if you could go to Middle-Earth? - I'd like to say Turin, for the obvious reasons, but while he had some great moments and incredible accomplishments, his life had a rather depressing bend to it. Let's go with Ulmo, because he rocks. Or waves. Or something like that.
3. If there was a zombie apocalypse in Middle-Earth, who would start it and why? - Trick question, it already did, and the Witch-king started it (remember those Barrow-wights? They're zombie enough for me).

@Aerlinn late but yay to see another Enchanted Forest fan!

1. If your main character had to pack up and move to another region tomorrow, where would they go? IC, I guess she would go to Gondor or maybe Fangorn since its close. But me personally would be the Shire.
2. Which character would you want to trade lives with if you could go to Middle-Earth? This is super hard, but I'm going to go with Elanor Gamgee/Gardner. Because 1. Sam is her dad which would be awesome 2. Rosie is her mom which in my imagination is also awesome 3. she gets to live happy-ever-after in the 4th age but still be close to all these legends!
3. If there was a zombie apocalypse in Middle-Earth, who would start it and why? Obviously the King of the Dead himself - he's already got a head start with an undead army!! Zombie apocalypse is just step Number 2!
