The Halls of Durin’s Folk (OOC)

[Afird Splitax]

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?

[Blue silk sword]

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.

[Winddancer]

All done! :D

And @Blue silk sword catching up is just as good <3

[Nerwen Nuke-queen]

Heyo kids

[Afird Splitax]

Hi there !

[Androthelm]

Howdy

[Lailyn]

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 --

Her elf would be displeased if she took the woodsmans eyes and so instead she flew steadily waiting to find a safer roost to eat her prize.

Maecheneb might not mind so much..

[Raisins]

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

[Lailyn]

I loved everything about it, Fuin! It was perfect!

[Baphởmet]

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

[Winddancer]

Did you kill Mushu?

[Baphởmet]

No, but I'll kill WD if I have to

[Winddancer]

If you didnt kill Mushu then you are all good <3

[Afird Splitax]

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.

[Lailyn]

@Afird Splitax oh yes, absolutely go for it! I'm excited to see your Zirakzigil nest.

[Nessa Saelind]

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!

[Lailyn]

I am loving them, too, of course! <3

NPF edit: Dropping some shinies into those nests <3

[Menolly]

I found an egg in this thread and I am on a scavenger hunt roll!

[Raisins]

@Afird Splitax I saw your post if you're wanting to partake in shire racing but want to have some competition I could actually roll for my own character as well as doing the GMing... Might as well have some fun racing myself if you are interested in another race.

[Afird Splitax]

Sounds good, @Fuin Elda! I have been thinking of using two other characters as well (rat and coney). Time keeps slipping by so fast. I will post this evening. Should be fun!!

[Raisins]

@Afird Splitax In the same race unfortunately no, but you are welcome to race a rat or coney or any other kingdoms creature you should like. I look forward to your post!

[Afird Splitax]

Notorious for not reading the OP and rules, am I. Darn, I had my rat and coney named and their owners ready to race. Oh well, it shall have to be some other dwarf.

[Afird Splitax]

Hi @Fuin Elda I assume that you want to end the race seeing as how you took all your rolls, so I took my last 7 rolls too.

[Raisins]

@Afird Splitax It is April 30th! So it is the last day of the month before the new race starts! This one actually didn't have any delays on answers so it is ending on time woot LOL

[Afird Splitax]

@Fuin Elda oh okay, that makes sense. It's April! Time seems to have no meaning these days , it just goes by, very quickly .

[Raisins]

@Afird Splitax Ohhh I totally understand time is FLYING right now and I'm screeching like a banshee about it almost being my birthday how dare it haha. Next race is in Mordor (since I made a mistake and was looking at my initial schedule which had Mordor later instead of second oops) so that'll be fun then we'll have a break for June and hopefully more people will want to play in July.

[Raisins]

@Afird Splitax so was thinking since the elimination game is sort of going really slow, what about a rule change to you're allowed to post once every 24 hours unless someone else has posted? That way things could possibly keep moving and it would keep multi posts from people like me from happening ever day but still allow RPing and battling to go on since we are actually doing RP battle for each post now?

[Afird Splitax]

@Fuin Elda you read my mind this morning. As I listened to the furnace kicking-in, 15 minutes before the alarm was about to ring as usual (why? why? why must I lose that 15 minutes of precious sleep?), I pondered over the rules of the elimination game and wondering if I had changed the rule to allow less time between post.

Good idea! I will not be able to update the rule until this evening but, you are more than welcome to do so if you have the time!

[Afird Splitax]

Bah, I forgot to change the rule last night. I have a sticky stuck on top of another sticky reminder to remind myself to do so.. ....

[Hlaevang]

I'm baaaaaaack!!!!
Finally made the migration to this new site and I am eager to reconnect with wall my old friends. I was first active in the early days of KD. I took over the Kagams after Thor Star ran for Looking of the dwarves and then migrated to Lothlorien. I was let in getting the first inter-kingdom still team competitions going and was quite active with the KD guard (under Blue Silk Sword) and the dwarven debate team. I left around 2004 (approx.) after a bad falling out with then King, Annolori. I resurfaced in 2016 eventually serving twoish terms as mayor of Erebor and one term as mayor of Dale until the old site was lost to the evil internet gremlins.

[Winddancer]

Welcome back! :D Your name definitely rings a bell! :D

[Afird Splitax]

Hi Hlaevang! I remember your name quite well! I was a young (in the sense that I was new to the plaza) dwarf just arriving in KD in 2003. I do remember all that controversy with the rulers (what an unfortunate event). Tis a much calmer NuPlaza we have these days. I like it a lot!

Silk was here a while back. I have not seen much of him lately.

It is good to see you and I hope to see you around!

[Marceline]

Welcome back, @Hlaevang!

[Baphởmet]

@Afird Splitax In the character elimination game, I believe Sog should actually be at 9, I took a point from him my last post

[Afird Splitax]

Fixed! Thanks, man!

[Afird Splitax]

Hi @Fuin Elda ! Can you word that rule change for me cause I lost my marbles yesterday and do not understand the rule change. Thanks!

@Afird Splitax so was thinking since the elimination game is sort of going really slow, what about a rule change to you're allowed to post once every 24 hours unless someone else has posted? That way things could possibly keep moving and it would keep multi posts from people like me from happening ever day but still allow RPing and battling to go on since we are actually doing RP battle for each post now?

[Raisins]

1 or 2 posts between or 24 hours (so double posting is allowed every 24 hours). The one or 2 post rule is up to you if you want to change it right now it's 2

@Afird Splitax

[Lailyn]

@Afird Splitax, you picked B2 in Build the Nest game but it has already been searched. feel free to edit in a different one!

[Afird Splitax]

@Lailyn , thanks love! I read that wrong.

[Lailyn]

As someone who frequently reads things wrong, no worries!

[The Elf Imperishable]

Hey @Afird Splitax, I kinda jumped ahead a bit there but can I write memorial posts for those eliminated in your character elimination thread? As in a narrator giving a short eulogy to the eliminated character? If not, I can always delete my post there I already created.

[Afird Splitax]

Sounds wonderful, in a solemn way under the circumstances, to me, @The Elf Imperishable ! Have fun!

[Raisins]

@The Elf Imperishable I know I said it in voice chat last night but your memorial post for Hurz was absolutely hilarious and I love it can't wait to read more of them!

[Lailyn]

@Afird Splitax, in the Bird game you've chosen both F5 and laying eggs but you can only choose one or the other, sorry! Let me know here or edit your post to choose. & no rush, it'll be at least a few days if not more until I update.

@Prometherion, is it safe to assume when you said "let's build a nest" you'd like the Thrush to lay eggs?

[Afird Splitax]

@Lailyn hahaha, greedy dwarves! I will lay eggs! Thanks again!

[Baphởmet]

@Lailyn I was clearly being too clever for my own good, yes let's lay some eggs (preferably a lot if you don't mind)

[Lailyn]

Perfect & thanks, both! I'll pass on your request, Frost, but its all up to the dice gods!

[Afird Splitax]

@The Elf Imperishable I really like the memorial posts.

[The Elf Imperishable]

Thanks @Afird Splitax! I like writing them

[Afird Splitax]

@Fuin Elda - That would be great if you could update the points in the game. I can't seem to find the right time these days. Thanks!
