Hi! If you meant heir, I suppose you could join, as long as everyone else is alright with it. I know you'd be fine in 'Mordor' but I would have to check with the others for 'Mordor 2', as that may interfere with the pre-existing plot.

can i join as an OC? and im not too much of a lotr fanatic but i know some stuff

go go malcom ninja: you're welcome to, but I will warn you that the majority of the current RP'rs are fluently versed in Tolkien :D

Maggot4Life09: No problem

Which characters are taken?

It depends on what thread you'd like to enter - and some characters seem to be forgotten by their previous owners as well.

Wait-

Is Legolas forgotten? Is Aragorn forgotten? I really like those two characters.

It depends. Theres a whole bunch of roleplays going on right now.

X.X

It might be easier to know if there was just ONE RP topic.

Oh Well.

Which RP do you recommend?

Well different ones are different places. So it really depends on what kind of a person or creature you want to play.

By the way, Star, my post about forgotten characters had a reference to you too. Are you going to continue playing Faramir & the Witch-King?

Yeah, I am. Sorry for disappearing on you. Got grounded until last night.

Ah, it happens. Glad that you don't give up!

Frankly speaking I don't know as the game has partially stopped for the summer...

Who's available in Mirkwood?

Any OC - just be sure that he/she fits... (but it was not me who began that thread - and those who began are far away now...)

I'm back.. shouldn't have used this thread, but I can answer questions now too, especially ones related to the beginnings of the 'early' RP's.

Can I jump in as an oc?

You certainly may! Though, I ask that we avoid any mary-sues or completely out of context characters..okay?

OH, OH, OH!!!!

THAT WHAT I WANNA DOOO!!!!!

*is confused* You want to join, or play as a mary sue/completely ooc?

For MarySues... you may want to check this out... http://www.fanfiction.net/topic/53912/14615676/1/ it's a sub catergory thingy here...

I WANNA JOIN UP AS AN ANTI-SUE!!!

Er, is it just me, or were RPGs once against FFNet forum guidelines?

Strange... did we do anything bad?

We should have a place for fanghorn it's one of my favorite places in the book.

So, we'd all play ents? Hehe... I'll make a topic... un-AU Arda I should think.

I have a vague idea of what mary-sues are but could you define them?

Oh.. probably not... :D Ah.. here's this from wikipedia ('cause I'm tired and don't have the mental energy to come up with my own def....

The term is also associated with cliché such as exotic hair and eye colors, mystical or superhuman powers, exotic pets, possessions or origins or an unusually tragic past, especially when these things are glaringly out of step with the consistency of the canon. These features are commonplace in "Mary Sues", though even a character who lacks them may be labeled a "Sue" by some critics. The term is more broadly associated with characters who are exceptionally and improbably lucky. The good luck may involve romance ("Mary Sue" always gets her man); adventure ("Mary Sue" always wins a fight or knows how to solve the puzzle) and popularity (the "right people" seem to gravitate towards the character). These characters have few problems while attempting to achieve their goals. "Everything goes her way" is a common criticism regarding "Mary Sues", the implication being that the character is not sufficiently humanized or challenged to be interesting or sympathetic.

Two words: BELLA SWAN.

Her title: BIGGEST MARY-SUE IN THE UNIVERSE!

ImagativeRainbowPenguin, this thread is for questions about the forum only - please, let's stay on topic. Thanks! :)

Oops! Sorry...

Fangorn is up, for those who are interested!

Oo, nice so there are still Tolkien fans interested in Rping out there. That is good to know. :) I will join if I have time, but for now I would like to mention something since it appears many here might take interest in it: Anyone heard of Elendor MUSH? It is a text-based rp game used by a MUclient where one creates characters and rps what they do, talk, ect. The place has been around for over 18 yrs, and we are looking for more recruits since games such as Elendor have declined in activity in the past years. I've got a few links in my profile, and feel free to PM me if anyone would like to know how to connect to the world. I will warn you though: Elendor is not a MUD, and it is not a place to go where people want to worry about stat building and things like that. It is a place that strives to bring Tolkien's world to live, and where players work to BE their characters, not simply hacking and slashing things.

PurpleArmadillo,

Thanks for pointing this out, I'll have a look at the site, but I'm not going to promise anything as I have my hands quite full with school as is. Thanks again though~

I've heard about this game and read the intro and the sample... quite interesting. But! Here there's no game engine that will make a plot and provide adventures for you, so please before starting to play tell us what characters, what time and what is the beginning point of the plot is.

Well, the players determine those things, only the game tells what time of day it is. Okay, I'll see what I can do.

But if 2 [layers invent different plots for one and the same place and time, who decides whose plot will go and whose will be neglected?

Hey guys...

Not to be a meany, and as lovely as this conversation is, I'm gonna have to ask you to take it somewhere else... Sorry!

Sure, I hadn't expected it to keep going like this...Lirulin, I'll answer you in a PM instead. :)
