Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza

@Amalric We even had Beebs on here for a day. Welcome back lol

ALSO QUESTIOn since Narv is Canadian does that make NuPlaza a Canadian Institute? lol

Welcome back, @Amalric! I still find it funny that I went over a year reading your name was Almaric.

@Amalric we were never actually married, you were just my kept elf your actual wife, our beloved Roh, has not yet found her way back.

Also, welcome back and get on our Discord!

Hey @Narya! What’s the SWG server? Also, I love Scottish accountants.

Welcome back, @Amalric!

Welcome @Narya! Let us know if you have any questions as you explore. I'm so glad you found us!

Welcome back @Amalric - good to see you again! This place was dead and buried last time I tried to look, too, pretty excited its been reborn!

Hi Amalric! Good to see you!

Welcome to the Plaza, Narya!

Yes, first things first. Two surefire signs of the coming Apocalypse:-

1. The Plaza is back;
2. Narv is in charge.

NARV?!???!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!? YE GODS.What is he now, 20? Seemed like he was just a little misbegotten embryo back then. Maybe he still is.

Dim, Moriel - thanks! I remember you both.
Fuin - Dark hair, pale skin I recall from photos aeons ago. Its good to see you again, and damn I wish I'd seen Beebs, always wondered how her and Hoth were doing (and Brandy, and about a thousand others).
Aig! The elf of a thousand tales (and characters)! How is the writing going?
Dwim - You were far from alone. To paraphrase Paul Simon, "You CAN'T call me Al!"
Wench - I thought I was meant to be the senile one? I was indeed your Kept Elf (I might have that sig somewhere still), but...Tulkas & Nessa? Do those times mean NOTHING TO YOU?!? *sniff*

Anyway, Roh was 'only' minion wife #3 (after Nyx and Akilah), and I married an elf (AN ELF! OF ALL THINGS!) after that (Lorry). And three of my friends are Scottish accountants, I'd find another fascination.

Zorz, Eldy (the Dunami clan is still going, joy ), Lailers - thanks!

Drifa! I think the first Dwarf I ever met way back in times of yore, good to see you again.

Kinda weird being a New Soul again, never really cared for it (unlike some). Where do I go to get my gazillion points back? I don't even remember how many it was, oh well.

You dont need points to chose a rank, just chose one ;) To your left, up :P

correct

we have knowledge halls, sort of, those ought to get you in the ballpark surely. How many points did you have, like 80?

Oh, I know I don't need points to choose, and I (really) wasn't looking to get anything for free. Way back in the day I think the top three points hogs scorers were Windy, Torni and myself, so it was at least 30k when I left, and probably higher. We collected points like Smaug collected coins.

Nope, not me :) I only got to like 17k. I "hogged" posts, had about 47k! :P

Oh yes, that's right. You need to pick up the pace!

Too old for that shire now :P

@Amalric OH YEAH we had like a whole wedding ceremony and everything didn’t we? Soz, I’m not really the anniversary-remembering kind

@Amalric haha yes I maintain my pasty skin by not being able to tan. Hair isn't dark atm. It's real and light blue... Next will probably be red or orange or some sort.

Last heard from Beebs was the were doing good they got missed by the fires in about a 20 mile strip but haven't heard from them since the major rainfall. But now that the cheeto and chief is out post corona I do have an invite to visit so may take them up on that. Hoth shave his beard.its discombobulating.

I was on this forum a long time ago, probably back when I was in middle school, around the time The Two Towers movie came out. I'm really glad everything is still up and running. I have a question, though. How does roleplaying work here? If I pick a kingdom am I restricted to playing a character that fits in that kingdom? I love play by post roleplaying, but I don't want to dive right in and look like a doofus.

Not necessarily. We allow a fair bit of creativity but there are threads with specific character rules but kingdoms don't tend to have hard fast rules.

Welcome Xenophon! Was that your name back then too?

Here is a RP guideline: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=511
Hard to say how to RP, but always read the top posts. Generally people usually rp a character that would fit in the thread you are wanting to post in. Say you go to Gondor and post in the Marketplace, well then it's most likely you are a human of some kind or maybe even an elf.

Also worth seeing what age the Kingdom is in, like Mordor is before the destruction of the ring, but Gondor is about 5 or so years after the War of the ring.

You do not have to join the kingdom to post in it :)

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. I really don't remember what my name was back then. I just remember how cool this community was. :)

No worries! Feel free to ask away and if you have discord, then join us there! https://discord.gg/7CqhkKuA

Welcome, Xenophon! Basically, the way you roleplay is your character has to fit in with the kingdom your roleplaying in. For example, I wouldn't roleplay Naelia in Imladris, since she's a minion (and despises Elves, even though she's part Elven, but often shuns this part of her heritage. Luckily, the only part that looks Elven is the points of her ears, which she can hide under her shoulder length curly black hair). But if she were to participate in some type of raid on the kingdom (if it's set in the same time frame as Mordor, that is), then it's perfectly fine to play her in Imladris, otherwise I'd have to create a new character to play within that kingdom (my only lighter character is Talina, but I haven't developed her far enough to actually play within a kingdom). Hope that helps a bit. I first learned how to roleplay on the Old Plaza, so Naelia's come a long way since then.

Hi @Xenophon! Welcome back. I'm glad old members still feel the urge to see what's going on with the Plaza, enough to notice that we're back! I hope you enjoy your time here on the new version and get to take part in some fun RP.

yooooooo @Amalric good to see you, though I appear to be a bit late to hop on the welcome wagon.

I’m back and I cannot access any functionality to choose a kingdom.
Look up and left WHERE? Please help. (Is this a browser issue? I’m in safari at the moment.

I was formerly known as Ann Kalagon of Gondor on the Plaza, later moved to the Shire as Ankala Teaweed.

Yep - I triple checked my profile in the user control panel,
that menu item is not visible in iphone safari! — but thank you Moriel — I’ll get on the laptop on the weekend and check it out.

This I copied and pasted:

Edit profile
Edit signature
Edit account settings
Manage “Remember Me” login keys

now I know where it should appear.

now I know where it should appear. On my phone to the right of the Board Preference tab, there are 3 horizontal bars for that and the Privacy Data.
YAY

Welcome @Nenuphar!

I'm late to the party but WOW @Amalric and @Ankala Teaweed those are some familiar names! Aerlinn Mordagnir here under all the fur, if that rings a bell. Hope to see you around! *g*

Thank you!
and yeah interesting name change, Aerlinn Mordagnir - is this recent? The title as well!

@BrionyLoudoun Welcome back! :D Was that your plaza name on Old Plaza too??

Wow, random Google search for the win! I knew there was an effort some years ago to remake the plaza, but didn't think something would ever come of it. Nice job!

The recreation is amazing, and the nostalgia is hitting hard.

Joined the original Plaza in....2002? I think? Some time around there. Name on the original was Azador, then during a name change event that subsequently overlapped with when I stopped visting was "Almighty Panda".... because is was the early 00's and I was a cringey high schooler. Current name is one I've used for D&D, ARPGs, and MMOs for close to 20 years now.

Welcome back Tondalar! :D

An Ent an Ent! Yay!! *dances* (ignore the eagle, normally I am a tree!) welcome back @Tondalar! Not sure I remember "meeting" you on the OP as Azador or otherwise but very glad to see you here!

@BrionyLoudoun - I remember you from OP! This is Tarawen in disguise. Welcome back!

Welcome back @Tondalar!

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcomes. So glad to be back :)
My old Plaza name was Athelas and before then Stinker_8.

Hi guys! Wow, going through this thread was absolutely crazy. So many names I recognise!

I had no clue that this was back up. I only googled it just now and found a link on reddit. I joined back in October 2003. My name was originally Celebglîn, but I changed it after a while to Celeblin. Cele for short.

Welcome back @Celeblin! I'm glad you found your way back

Welcome back, @Celeblin!

Welcome back Celeblin! <3

Hey there @Celeblin. It’s great that you found your way back here.

Hello, my name is Troygan.

I actually used to be part of this forum sometime ago before it crashed. I've been waiting for it to return ever since, and after a while it's only now I find it back.

But it seems since I last been here I missed a lot already. I don't know where to start.

I already made up several characters, here's a couple of them:

. Mauren the Proclaimer, a young boy of Black Numenorean lineage who servers as a scout and a messenger for Mordor's missions. He resides specifically in Minas Morgul
. Uthurg, a Morgul orc who serves as Mauren's Godfather
