I do. Ciradhel hasn't gotten nearly enough action yet

[ThElderGod]

Yeah, I thought you guys might have lost interest. I'll get her up and running.

[Kamikaze_X]

Nope. I've just been waiting... >_> Anyway, good that you're gonna get it running again!

[Kamikaze_X]

Sorry for the double post, but I was thinking that in the thread "Gout of Osgiliath", this might be the perfect time to bring in my Nazgûl character...

[canterbury]

I think the cure for slow activity is to keep on playing and others will follow instead of being intimidated by when the last post was made.

On an unrelated note, I built this baby during one of my military history classes.

You can't be serious... that's amazing. How long do you think it took?!

[canterbury]

Maybe 4 classes of on and off note taking.

The hardest part was finding a moutain that would accomodate it. I could have just easily built a moutain but I like it being naturally formed.

It's probably not the best Helm's Deep (search google for some amazing ones) but I'm happy that mine is anatomically correct to the PJ film's Helm's Deep as far as stairs, doorways, and connectivity goes.

Also being the enviromentalist, I decided to just leave that huge lake there and not have a stream go through the culvert.

Ha, that's awesome

[Kamikaze_X]

Can we expect another post sooner or later, TEG? ;D

[ThElderGod]

Yessir

[ThElderGod]

har har sorry for the delays guys.

OT: One of my favorite resources for Tolkien's work is here.

All Character Bios

The best part about this site is that instead of describing the characters or events based on sources, it mostly just pulls text out of the books directs you straight to the sources.

And the Timeline is just that if you play with the search engine. Here is the timeline for all things military during the War of the Ring for example:

TEG: You should get this RP moving; it's starting to become inactive and is starting to push it.

[Kamikaze_X]

I concur Red, I concur.

[Armos]

I'm not even in this RP and I concur

[Just Joe]

I have to say that if anyone should be concurring here also, it's me.

So I concur.

[ThElderGod]

I sincerely apologize guys, I'll get a post in after I get home today. Perhaps a full update is in grabs?

[canterbury]

I failed to have concured in time.
