__________________________

Orco del Oro, along with his helper, Mordor Troll, has decided to direct a reenactment of The Quest for Erebor... Unfortunately the only copy of the script got lost somewhere in the Withered Heath within the belly of some suspiciously golden dragon-like thing. Mordor Troll created the prompts and character lists for Orco del Oro, but the dialogue was left abandoned. Undeterred, Orco del Oro used his connections to send a Call-Out for casting to all corners of Middle-Earth for the Battle of Azanulbizar. Depending on success, he may continue to issue further Call-Outs for onward sections of the reenactment.

Orco del Oro trusts that the casted members, based on the prompt, can make up their script as they go per the 'contract' they signed. However, del Oro has also 'brought along' a few 'agreeable' audience members, and opened the Gorgoroth Coliseum Theatre open to anyone in the public who could pay the toll. To compensate for their time, they are given food from Mordor Troll, including roasted Orc popcorn, refreshments (alcoholic and poisonous), and "Fruit". Boxes of "Fruit" are next to all audience members' seats. This is not a racketeering scheme by Orco del Oro, and he does not appreciate any insinuation on his honor and integrity regarding this project.

_________________________

MORDOR ROTTEN TOMATO MINI-GAME


All actors are 'voluntary' participants of the Mordor Rotten Tomato Mini-Game. The game will occur immediately following the end deadline for a prompt (a prompt lasts for 48-72 hours, depending on said prompt). In this game, del Oro and any interested audience members can throw 1 item of whatever they wish at any actor they wish to target. Idle actors make great targets after all :). It will be recorded each time somebody is hit by fruit on the "Board of Rotten Tomatoes". This board shall be edited in the OP of the OOC thread and updated accordingly


MINI-GAME RULES

1. All actors automatically enter the mini-game.
2. The mini-game will occur immediately after the end of a prompt and before the beginning of a new prompt
3. Audience members have 48 hours to choose 1 item to throw at one actor
4. Following the 48 hours, Actors have 24 hours to respond.
5a. A 6-sided die roll shall be cast. If actor does not respond, a result of 1 will result in a dodge, 2-6 will result in a hit.
5b. If an actor responds with a post I like (funny, serious, seriously funny, etc.), I will increase the dodge rate accordingly up to a die roll of 5 (1-5) resulting in a dodge.
6. Each time a person is hit, it shall be recorded on "The Board of Rotten Tomatoes"
7. If you get hit, 1 point will be deducted from your score on the board (e.g 0 becomes -1). Dodging will earn you one point, however (e.g 0 becomes 1)
8. There are hidden achievements in this game, and if you meet these arbitrary achievements, you will earn points in this RPG
9. Those who end with a score of at least a 0 or higher may automatically reprise their role for the next section of the RPG (the next casting call). Those in the negatives will have to manually sign-up again.

[Silky Gooseness]

oooh I’m a disposable goblin!

[Rivvy Elf]

Welcome to the disposable goblin crew, Sil!

[Moriel]

I love an arbitrary game. Disposable goblin please!!

[Rivvy Elf]

Welcome to the disposable goblin crew, Moriel!

[Fairy Nuff]

I'm going to bite the bullet, can I be Thorin please?

[Aerlinn]

I think I can manage Short Angry Dude with an Axe -- disposable dwarf, please? (I don`t think I`ve ever played a dwarf before :shock:)

[Silky Gooseness]

if there’s capacity for me to be more than one person I’d also like to be Azog

[Rivvy Elf]

Fairy Nuff- Thorin is yours! I still remember your rendition as Smaug. Rawr

Aerlinn- Welcome to the disposable dwarf crew, Aerlinn! And technically your character doesn't even have to be a dwarf, you just have to act as one. We have fake beards for non-dwarves

Sil- Absolutely! Azog is yours

All- I have clarified that you can multiple roles in this play in the "other rules" section.

[Silky Gooseness]

I seem to remember playing as Sil, in my dwarf disguise, spending the entirety of the act with shoes glued to my knees and an enormous fake beard

Edit: thank youuu! I have no idea about how to play Azog, so all the better. Hope the Make Up Team is up to the job.

[Oro]

I’m signing up to play the broken branch that Thorin uses as a shield.

[Rivvy Elf]

Sil- Aah yes, that was the case. I remember that and it was very hilarious. You're welcome! I'm sure the director will make sure the make up team will do their job.

Oro- the role of Thorin's Oaken Shield is now yours! Congratulations, you found and unlocked the hidden character that I was actually going to introduce later on in the RPG. +10 tomato points to you :)

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Ok, I might as well join this upcoming insanity. Considering I've blocked the Hobbit movies from my memory, this should be very entertaining.

Is one of Radagast's rabbits available as a role? That or Balin would be fun. Might as well have a nearly 6 foot elf playing a dwarf.

[Rivvy Elf]

Dimcarien- Balin is yours! Unfortunately, one of Radagast's rabbits does not appear in this Battle nor when Balin is narrating to BIlbo in regards to the battle in the movie. I don't recall mention of this in HOME, BOLT, UT, the Letters of JRR Tolkien, Father Christmas Letters, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, that detective novel JRR Tolkien's grandson did, nor in The Hobbit. In the future as we progress through this movie parody, we will for sure encounter the very significant rabbits of Radaghast, however.

As a consolation prize, I have given you the role of Balin! Because of budget limitations, you're going to be both narrating and participating in this battle in the play. I have a copy of the movie script, in case you love the script and choose not to make alterations during your narration.

ALL- Thror, Dwalin, and Thrain are left for those who want to act in this scene. Feel free to join in as disposable goblins, dwarves. Or the audience as well to cheer/jeer/harm-through-projectile our beloved victims actors

[Fairy Nuff]

Haha Rivvy, I can't believe you remember that! I barely remember that!

Just to get my bearings, using the linked script as a guide, we're starting around page 29?

[Rivvy Elf]

Fairy Nuff- I have a good memory :p. Yes we are starting around page 29

[Aerlinn]

Can I be a dwarf who requires a fake beard? Backstory pending.

[Lita.]

*reads for the part of thror*

[Rivvy Elf]

Aerlinn- hmm, are you volunteering for a part other than a disposable 'dwarf' soldier I have you signed up as? Or do you want to be more than one disposable soldier (which you can certainly do)?

Aelita- That was a perfect impression of Thror. Congratulations, you are now Thror!

[DEATH]

I would like to be one of the cardboard cutouts. I don't care which one. I think I could manage to be competent at that level.

[Rivvy Elf]

Loke- As you wish! You are to be the cardboard cutout of Dain

EDIT: I guess I meant Durin's Bane :P

[DEATH]

Loke- As you wish! You are to be the cardboard cutout of Dain

*Is cardboard*

That's a template you can use anytime I'm needed, in case I'm not around at the time.

[Oro]

A random janitor strolls through whistling, picks up @Loke Clogwearer and carries him over to a random storage closet, placing him inside. “Wonder how this got out here. Welp cleaned up now.” Closing and locking the door, he whistles as he leaves.

[DEATH]

*Is cardboard.

In the dark.*

[Rivvy Elf]

@Loke Clogwearer I actually love this and find this hilarious :D

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

I am so looking forward to where this craziness is going to go.

Also, @Rivvy Elf when is this going to start? That way I can sure it's in my RL schedule?

[Rivvy Elf]

I’m going to create the main rpg thread tomorrow. Let all of you do an introductory post of your “arrival” (you will know why I put this in air quotes), dress-up, preparation, etc. Then the fun begins

[DEATH]

@Loke Clogwearer I actually love this and find this hilarious :D

I'm glad you do
Try to remember to have someone get me out of this storage closet when you start proper. I'm not well equipped to do that myself.

[Laintaen]

I honestly have no idea what is going on, but can I sign up for any remaining character?

[Rivvy Elf]

@Laintaen You have signed up to be Dwalin, congratulations! This is an rp to stage a parody of the Quest of Erebor, using the movies' script as a story guide. Hopefully this'll give you some idea of what went on before: http://web.archive.org/web/201604271958 ... cted-Quest

@Loke Clogwearer Yeah, the director will delegate that duty to someone maybe. Hopefully we don't forget to bring you out the storage closet.

[Landy]

Make me whatever you want to, just not a dwarf!

[Rivvy Elf]

Disposable Moria Goblin it is! Welcome to the crew, Landy!

[Rivvy Elf]

Main thread has been posted!

Fire away if you have any questions!

Main thread: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=145

[Lirimaer]

I'll be Thrain if you can't find anyone more suited. Otherwise I'll audience! :)

[Rivvy Elf]

@Lirimaer : Thrain is yours! Feel free to audience as well if you feel the itch :P

[Lirimaer]

No worries ;)

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Heads up, Dimcairien may or may not be slightly inebriated while acting as Balin. (considering we're all adults here, I hope this is ok?)

[Rivvy Elf]

@Dimcairien Luiniel It would be more out of character for your character to be sober, from how I interpret your character :P. It's more than fine :)

@Lirimaer alternatively, you could just take the stairs to get dressed if you are able to understand what Mordor Troll is trying to say.

[Moriel]

@Laintaen I don't think anybody knows what's going on

My goblins have arrived and they're here to cause trouble. Possibly drunken, melodramatic, self important, random-Welsh-sounds trouble.

[Rivvy Elf]

Mmm, methinks the director's gonna have an aneurysm when he sees all this chaos. I love it.

[Lirimaer]

Eh, I've made up some Easterling swearing - if its not appropriate, tell me!

[Moriel]

As a person who has no authority whatsoever in the matter, I approve.

[Rivvy Elf]

@Lirimaer its a body part that most everyone has, we see a lot of it in the WWE, a PG show, and in my headcanon Sauron has those. T'is fine ;)

[Aerlinn]

*skids in, burning rubber smell* I made it! Y'all are too quick for me, but the absurdity is amazing.

[Lirimaer]

:smiley8: Okay!

[Rivvy Elf]

If you think about it in terms of the script, according to the hobbit movies, the dwarves just randomly showed up one day and unjustifiably attacked Moria. Just think about awful that is from a certain point of view.

FIRST PROMPT IS UP. If you haven't arrived and dressed up, otherwise Imma have to pull a rabbit out of the hat and use replacements :P

@Dimcairien Luiniel: Balin's line in the script is this- "[Balin:] “Don’t mind him, laddie. Thorin has more cause than most to hate orcs. After the dragon took the Lonely Mountain, King Thror tried to reclaim the ancient dwarf kingdom of Moria. But our enemy had got there first.”

[DEATH]

@Rivvy Elf I did an OOC intentionally in the other thread. I figured since it references something from your prompt post, which the audience can quite clearly see, a 'breaking-the-fourth-wall kind of response was appropriate. I'll keep real OOC stuff in here.

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

@Rivvy Elf thanks. I’ll post later today after work.

[KingODuckingham]

In the title post it says Loke is playing Durin's Bane, but in the thread it says Loke is playing Dain, so I sign up to be whichever one Loke is not (I believe it's Durin's Bane) but I'm good for whichever.

[Rivvy Elf]

err woops, lemme correct that
