Lord of the Rings WW Game

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
If I am quiet during the IRL day this week, it's because I am in the clinic playing with ponies and vets, but I will try to check in when possible (Don't have the phone app).

I totally started watching the first one last night in between colic checks to get in the mood...😀
 
Well poo... Galadriel isn't from Rivendell.

Are there any other women elves from Rivendell other than Arwin?

Any dark haired elf pic should do ya. Or, be like me and role switch. 😉 Legolas is one of my favorite characters (weak spot for archers). Although not technically from Lothlorien, it is where he is happiest.

I always like the archers, too. 😍 I used to do archery for a little bit and hope I can start again when I get my own house. Backyard shooting. 😎

I have Shadowfax as my picture now. Any other ideas for it though? I have no clue what else to put that would make sense with my group.

So I got a message, and sadly rescuepuppy doesn't have ask much time as he thought to be able to play. Also, he had some of the messaging and inbox restrictions that I was all too familiar with in the HG WW 😛 but this works out really nice, Peperoncini can take his place and everything is set and ready.

I'm going to try to send out roles tonight and give everyone a nice little present for the morning 🙂

then tomorrow morning we'll get started with Packens great intro and have a nice and long mayor election 😀

Thanks AKD! 😀

Minas Tirith is the capital of Gondor.. So, you could go with any warrior/inhabitant or a picture of the city. It's depicted as a towering city on a hill with several gates. Some artist renditions are beautiful! Or you could be uber ballsy and put up a pic of Gandalf - he is the savior of City of Kings.
 
Speaking of avatars....The Shire teammates...be careful if you google hobbits or Samwise or Frodo or anything like that. Let's just say that there are a few inappropriate images of Frodo and Sam being a bit "friendly." :laugh:
 
I am seriously a WW addict. This is getting out of control. Helps keep my mind off real life 🙂
 
Volunteering at my local S/N clinic for the next 4-5 hours (local as in I walk across the street and BOOM! I'm there...). Hopefully the mayoral vote is still going on!

Yeah. since these things started up my post count has gone way up. From about 3.5/day to 5.0/day. And that's not so easy with 2+ years of data!.

I haven't had that high a post count since before vet school started.

Some of you noobs must have unbelievably high counts!
 
Just a heads up depending on when we start, but I won't be around 1-5 (maybe 6:30 if I go to orgo) EST, so no crankiness if I'm quiet. I'll be out in the woods radiotelemetrying (not a real word) classmates. Doesn't that sound like fun?!
 
Since it seems like everyone is posting about when/why they'll be offline, I just started my new job and I can only check during lunch. I'll be quieter during this game.
 
Thousands of years ago, the Dark Lord Sauron forged a ring that had the power to control all the other Rings of Power. This ring, The Ring, was the Dark Lord's weapon to bring darkness and despair to the lands of Middle Earth. A great battle of good versus evil pursued, and ultimately good triumphed by cutting off Sauron's finger that held The Ring. But The Ring does not acknowledge good. It corrupts, distorts and cracks the will of all who possess it, be it man, dwarf, elf, or even (SDN?) hobbits. Although it was lost for thousands of years, The Ring found its way back to Middle Earth, bringing with it the potential for an eternal rule of darkness…

"Hey guys, come here and check out that I found when I was going through Bilbo's old things! Look, now you see me, now you don't!" kaydubs shouted from inside Bilbo's house.
"kaydubs, how'd you do that??"
"Simple, I just put this ring on my finger and-"
"You shouldn't play around with that! It could be dangerous," grunted TigerWillow
"What do you know, you never want to let me do anything fun."

With a pout kaydubs stomped out the front door and into the bright sunshine of the SDN shire. From behind him/her, there was suddenly a commotion. The sounds of horrified screams and yells from the people of the shire were coming closer. Only one word was leaving their lips, "RUN!!!!"
kaydubs turned back to the house, "Hurry TigerWillow!! We have to go, something horrible is coming!!" The two joined the rest of the crowd as they headed for the dense forest. Screams still filled the air, but the sound of hoof beats started to become more and more distinct. The residents of the SDN shire scattered trying to avoid the wrath of the mounted black riders. The hid anywhere they could, under brush, in trees, some barely missing the pounding hooves of the black beasts.

When the sounds of the horsemen finally disappeared into the distance, the SDN shire folk began to slowly emerge from hiding. As they assessed the damage, the question on everyone's mind was the same: Why were those nine mounted horsemen in black after them?

"I think I know," said kaydubs quietly. "I think they want this magic ring I found in Bilbo's house."
"Great, give it to them and let's go home," said zanydogz shortly.
"I would, but I can't, I lost it."
"Well great, now what do we do??"
"We can't go back to our shire," SOV added sadly. "They will just keep coming back until they find that ring."
"Well I guess our only option now is to venture outside of the SDN shire and see if we can find some help out there," squirrelsrule said solemnly.
"We can't leave the SDN shire! What will we do, where will we go?" cried LMMS
"We have no choice, we must leave, and soon!"
"Who put you in charge squirrelsrule?" accused Sheepdogpsu
"Good point, if we want to get anywhere, we should elect someone to lead this fellowship of SDN shire residents."

Once you die you can't strategize but can talk with ***'s above and below. If you edit, death will come swiftly. Send any PM's to Packen and alaskandream. Please ask questions if you have any. Try to make your avatar fantasy related, and if you can LotR (I know some are doing another WW game so I understand). I think that's everything 😀

this is going to be so entertaining! Really cool intro! :corny:

Fabulous intro, guys! Just what I needed during my much needed data entry break. 😀

Getting down to business, as he appears to be strong and in command of the mission, regardless of the fact that he lives in the Dead City 😉...

Elect SOV
 
SOV, what will you give us if we vote for you? Sheep gave everyone ponies last game...
I'm sticking by my statement.... it is not what you get for voting for me, it is what you get if you don't (ridicule😱)....

This is LOTR, no sweet ponies and unicorns, it is the battle for middle earth. :scared:

War-time leaders need to be calculating, hard, and cruel: I'm your man. :meanie:
 
Current tally:

8 SOV- (SOV, wldlfstdnt, dyachei, DVMD, Karuku, wildcat, LMMS, Lissarae)
 
Elect SOV

Current mayor vote tally:

9 SOV- (SOV, wldlfstdnt, dyachei, DVMD, Karuku, wildcat, LMMS, Lissarae, sheepdogspu)

will the innocents invest all their hopes in one, or will there be a challenger, to lead them to victory?
 
I love how I'm the grumpy one who doesn't have any fun. That's reserved for LIS!!!

Yeah, SOV can be quite annoying with his Shakespeare quotes if things don't go his way.

SOV FOR MAYOR
 
Elect SOV Not sure about that cruel bit but you did an awesome job in HG!
 
I wanna be different. *****elect pp*****

😛
 
My avatar is a unicorn. I bet she can talk. :laugh:

Elect SOV
 
And hey! I did get LIS, who everyone seemed to trust so much. 😉
 
Ah, LIS is in my group. The thought of having a cruel leader is tempting though.

Elect LIS
