Thanks Pio!

And nice to see you hanging around. Somehow you're just so invisible otherwise. We should probably make more of these enigmatic statements to get you more involved...


Anyway. If someone thinks the Q-staff fights are becoming a bit too violent, Wilcred will call for easier fighting anyway in the next match as he's worried as well. We'll just need to see how the two can hold themselves back.

I like it that Frodides was "inattentive". It plays well with the kind of 'wares' this old man trades in. So Frodides need not explain anymore than that she barely noticed the man.

You'll see what I mean with the next post, perhaps.

By the way, now that Rowenna is no longer the villainess of Scarburg, I give much credit to Groin for making Erbrand, shall we say, "difficult to get along with". Funny, I would have expected that role more for Crabannan, but Groin certainly is writing his character most consistently. Well done, Groin!

I'm flattered LMP! Perhaps Rowenna could give Erbrand some pointers on how to be a villain. I never imagined that my character would be the meany of the group, but to be honest it's quite fun!

Nice to see things moving...

I got totally blocked with the fight and then jammed in front of the TV as they showed Blade Runner there. Luckily I peeked in before going to sleep. I have now set the final match on and Stigend has answered the old man. I'll try to come up with the actual fight tomorrow.

True. But I think at this point Ginna wouldn't really care much.

Done at last!

I'll think twice before I promise to write two this kind of games in a row with many individual matches in both...

I hope you're satisfied with my decision that lord Eodwine offers Lithor a draw in the end lmp. At that point it just felt to me like something Eodwine would do, that would actually fit his character (at least my feel of him). I'll make them fight it to the end if you wish.

I just noticed post # 401 for the first time this morning! Be assured that if I had noticed it before now, I would have posted in response to it long ago! It's been ten days!

I'm wondering whether to ask Foley to add Rowenna's response to the end of that post, or to include it in a new one?

Edit Never mind, I've taken care of it.

Gwath, if I am not mistaken, Thornden should also be part of the sword fights, and you may have to change things. Perhaps I might make a suggestion, that you take Ginna's fight with Degas from the second round to the first, and also replace Degas' name with Thornden in Degas' first round fight?

I think you may be mistaken, actually. He's never been in any of the official game rosters.

Phew. That was epic. I hope I represented Eodwine and Degas well, LMP and Fea.

If you'd like Thornden to be included, LMP, I could try to go back and edit him into the earlier fights somehow. Just let me know.

Heck, why not? Go ahead and add him. I never did add his name to list - I thought that we had an even number of people for the game, so I didn't want to mess things up. But in your post it said it was odd, so to make it an even match, go ahead and add him! He should be in it anyway.

Wow-

That was fantastic. Great writing, Gwath!

I was gasping when the limp proved to be feigned - "He was faking it!"

I never once felt like Degas wasn't very much himself, and that's an impressive feat, to take somebody's character and render them so well that the writer and creator feels like it's totally natural.

Great job. Loved it.

That was quite handily done, Gwath! Thanks for taking time out from your busy drama producing schedule to do it. And you handled Eodwine's personality quite well, especially at the end. Now, flush from having his head removed from his neck --- at least so it would have been if it had been in earnest (pardon the pun) --- he is ready to have his widowerhood removed and let the nuptials begin!

As to that, I like all 6 points of Groin's wedding info post - they'll just have to be adapted to Eorling and Scarburg circumstances. I'll bet Harreld has a sword he can "sell" or offer to Degas and Saeryn that will serve as the gift sword. In fact, that might be a fun couple of posts to write, getting that all situated.

Consider this: Saeryn has not yet even thought of bride price and dowry concerns, and I'm expecting her to think of them at some point quite soon...

Hm. I guess I need to think of them first. lol. When I have a moment - today is surprisingly full of necessary responsibilities. I do want to post, though, so maybe this afternoon I'll write something.

Ok, good. I'm always concerned that I'll misrepresent someone's character.

And, honestly, that post was a HECK of a lot of fun to write. I wasn't sure at all how it would go - I just sat down and started writing out the fight, blow by blow, and, man, did it turn out to be exciting! I felt like I was one (or all?) of the characters, I felt all their adrenaline and surprise and everything. And since I was writing straight through from scratch (which took about two and a half hours), the excitement kept me from getting bored or having to get up and take a break.

It is so much fun when that happens! It was very enjoyable to read.

I'm glad that you liked it. If you would like, I have a couple of the soldiers getting ready right now to be the eorl's honor guard.

Okay! I put up a post that Nogrod and I wrote about the boys and the fathers (and older brother).

Nogrod, if you want anything changed, let me know. As you see, I kind of mixed things up in the beginning, putting stuff you had written intermixed with what I had first written. Tell me if I got anything wrong.

Nothing to complain! On the contrary, you did good job emerging those initial versions together and I liked the way you managed to leave the ending without any clear conclusion so there's lot to go for after that post!

Let's then continue, with the wedding I presume? Anyone feeling like writing the ceremonies? Maybe someone involved in the actual wedding?

I believe we're waiting to give Lhuna a chance to write something. She asked for until Monday. I am anxious to see if Randver returns.

Great! That was a wonderful post, Lhuna! This is exciting.

I thought you'd appreciate being told that you twice said 'her daughter' instead of 'his daughter' when talking about Ginna. In the first sentence of the second paragraph, and the last sentence in the third.

Does this mean that you'll be around more often a bit? *hopeful grin*

I won't be able to post for the next two days, but I doubt my characters will be called upon much, unless it were Saeryn.

Thanks, Foley!

*facedesk* I guess that shows how haggard I was while writing that post. I shall go edit.

Of course I want always to be around, but it's not easy to find time for that lately. Perhaps once things pick up, I'll find that when there's a will, there's a way.

I'm really sorry, I have 6 lab reports and 2 oral reports to work on for this week. I didn't think I could manage a post, but it was the all caps that did it. Thanks for the pressure, Elempi. And no, I'm not being sarcastic or biting or anything negative - I mean it. At least I know now that I really work well under pressure.

Anyway, I know my post veered away from what I told you before, but my original plan no longer fits the circumstances: Randvér would not talk to another person to point the smith out to him; it seems to me that there wouldn't be enough time anyway, as it didn't seem like a long match; and Ginna and Harreld's exchange would seem out of place if it followed a conversation between Harreld and Randvér. But don't worry, I still intend to have Randvér corner Harreld eventually before Ginna realises that he's around. How, I'm not yet quite sure.

Glad to have aided you, Lhuna.

You have a "her daughter" where you want a "his daughter".

I hope Lhuna posts soon for Randvér, because any altercations involving he and Ginna ought to occur before the wedding.

I didn't know if we agreed on him making an appearance today. This will be fun to watch, some more drama. Perhaps this will finally give Harreld the spunk he needs to ask Ginna to marry him!

Or not.... a lot of this depends on Rand... Before the 20th century, and in some parts of the world to this day, parents OWNED their children.

Then let's bump the old man off! I'm sure Gwath wouldn't mind having Crabannan doing that, would Gwath?

Why not actually have it come to blows and have Crabannan be justified in delivering a thrashing? That would be an interesting twist - the redemption of Crabannan's brawling nature. Well, I'll have to at least keep that in mind for the future.

We could make Modtryth the wedding organizer! Put her in charge! ... at least, of the women's side of it. This actually makes sense because Modtryth is probably the only woman in Scarburg who has been through a marriage. Rowenna is hopelessly uninformed as to what is involved on the women's side for marriage, so there you have it.
