:love: Woooooo hoooooo!!! :love: I soooo loved the post Mae!! You ROCK!!! :hug:

I'm thinking that Nóruion let his tongue off its leash..... YET AGAIN! He's lucky Mír doesn't slug him! I know that Brêg ((BRAGALOT... HAHAHHA!! )) would definitely go to the meeting.... and I think that, after defending Mír from Nóruion's scolding, Lhoss would head over to the meeting too. She knows that she is good at keeping situations from getting out of hand. Nóruion would probably want to 'keep an eye on the strangers' But I don't think it would be only 'men' going to the meeting.... Elves didn't think like that (I don't think! )

I think that Will would be out to find out as much about the Elves customs and history as he can in a short time.... I'll take care of it in my post sometime tomorrow night, PM me if you want to give me any specifics (or OE translations! ). After all, there is MUCH that Will will find to be odd even if we don't yet get into the fact that the Elves are immortal. (Should I go into that yet?) I mean, the Elves don't even sleep... at least not in the same way!

So, by the time the boats return in the morning (and I'm assuming that they'll be more personel sent this time), I think that Will will be quite intrigued and wanting to stay and learn more(?).... I'm not sure if the Captain would allow that...

About the Germans and Americans..... I'm not sure when they'll come in contact. Kale still has to let all the others know about the sighting of the other people.... and I'm not sure what conclusion they'd come to yet. :feedback:

Rudh's character (a half Maiar/half Elf) may come into play... I think he's the kind that would try to play all the factions against one another in a twisted attempt to gain some power. She's been a bit sick this past week... but she says she'll try to post soon!


Anyhow, since the wounds of the War are still fresh, wouldn't it be feasible that the Elves are on 'speaking' terms? That is to say that they tolerate each other, but by no means are overly 'friendly'. This could cause different factions (which I believe were listed previously) and these factions would tend to isolate themselves from each other. Perhaps those that found the 'shelob followers' would not tell those who found the Americans, and vise versa, due a lack of trust or respect or whatnot, at least until they have decided what is to be done with them?

Anyhow, that's my general understanding for things. If I am wrong, I would be grateful for being told thusly . If I am correct, perhaps some of you others could elaborate? (hint hint Faen)


Couldn't have explained it better myself, Mae !! Keep in mind it's not just the Quendi and others.... It's the Quendi, the Noldor, AND the Sindar all in the 'tolerance' mode. BTW... I'm assuming that Kale and his family are Noldor judging from the 'sending' (disscussion over distance through telepathy).... or am I completely off? I think that they would alert the far-off Quendi only after they realize that there are two different groups of Edain decending upon the island... which would probably make them a bit worried.

I'm thinking that maybe Mír will confront Will and ask him what the others are up to if he and his 'friends' are so friendly... I think that would be a good way for the Americans to find out about the Germans.... but since my characters are not the ones dealing with the Germans, I'm not sure how they would find out about the Americans!

Dear Faen, I am always there for you, you know that! If you need Edain warriors, you have them, if you need a couple of Quendi - there you go!

Look, I'm sorry for my previous comments, I was just playing with ideas... I never intended to really change your story!


Awwwwwwwwwww!! I wasn't thinking that at all!! I didn't mind your suggestions.... they had just been previously addressed, I think. And I soooooo appreciate your willingness to provide the Quendi! :hug: Henaid veneg!!

I'm already so excited about this thread that I created a 'soundtrack' playlist for it! Woooo hoooo! I LOVE THIS THREAD!! :heart:

I just read Kaazebrabeads recent post. Um, I don't mean to be rude or overbearing or whatnot, but I thought we weren't going to let the others know that there were two different groups arrived at the island...


Anyhow, since the wounds of the War are still fresh, wouldn't it be feasible that the Elves are on 'speaking' terms?

Also, where did the man come from that was chasing Spirit? According to Naval code (And I am assuming the germans would be similar to the americans.) The sailors would not be allowed to just wander away from the sub unless a party was dispatched by the captain, which I thought the only group dispatched was going to follow PB's character to the forge. This could also affect the blacksmithing activities negatively... And how in the Valar's name could Spirit understand what the Germans were saying at all? (It would be highly unlikely Spirit would be able to speak German.) War, Death???? I'm just majorly confused, this could seriously change the plans for the entire story. I hate to say this, but should Kaazazebrabeads edit the post? or should we go along with the entirely new plotline?

To answer a few questions (and GRRR I keep getting an error when I try to make my POST! I'll keep trying!)

Saer is Noldor, yes... but (correct me kaaz) he's with the Sindar in all this. Most of the rest of our family have both Noldor and Teleri blood - most specifically Thiadvain - but again, their 'allegiances' (if you want to call them that) are Sindar. The blood-related in this family (outside of the children ) goes like this, lol:

Saer - daughter Keli

Saer, Thiadvain, and Maedon are all 2nd cousins

Thiadvain and Maedon are 1st cousins

Thiadvain, Maedon and Keli are 3rd cousins

Thiadvain and Krys are related on their mother's side somewhere...

Clear as mud, right?

As for the German chasing Spirit... I'm suspecting that will come out of Faervara's post to have the Germans 'escorting' the smith to his forge - a 'chance' meeting.

Spirit has the same 'ability' as Saer - once a language is 'heard', he instantly understands it.

I can't remember anything about the ELVES not telling/notifying each about the different groups... for certain (at THIS) point, the Americans & Germans don't know about each other.

*sigh* confused now!

Very confused... Also, I'm sorry, but the ability to 'instantly understand' a language sounds like god-modding to me. *sigh* I guess if everyone else is fine with it though...

Anyhow, I loved your post btw Faer :love: Your character is cold and calculating, *rubs hands together evilly* Should be interesting to see what happens with the smithy. Hm, a quick question for PB, is your character on any particular relation with either of the groups of Elves? Seems like the smith would not take sides? Or would he? I guess it all depends on how you want you character to be. Just a thought

And Faen :heart: I can't wait to see how Mir will react to Will's behavior. LOL or more like, I can't wait to see how Nóruion will react ..... Anyhow, this is great fun :disco:

Hmmm.... I do know that the Noldor had a great talent for 'learning languages'.... But, I'm afraid that I'd have to agree with Mae on this one. I'm not sure if I like the idea of the 'instant understanding of the language'. The heightened stress of language barriers is something that (and I realize that this is NOT the real world) makes the meetings of cultures so difficult.

I don't have too much of a problem with a German U-boater disobeying orders and wandering off... He just better make sure that his CO doesn't find out!

Also.... I did realize that Kale and his family must have some connection to the Sindar.... hence I made he and Breg 'old friends'. Actually... My 'Faen' character--Breg's deceased wife--was half Noldor....maybe that was part of the common thread between the 2 families?

FAER!!! I absolutely LOOOOOOOVE the German Commander! He's just the kind of bloodthirsty, ambitious man who would have gone far in the Riech! Great work!

Hahaha Yeah, Mae! I can't wait to see how it turns out when Noruion is a jerk!

Thanks! I'm glad you all like my evil commander *snicker*

As for the guy chasing Spirit, I have edited my post to integrate that - now Müller sees the boy and has someone run after him... I hope that solves that part of the problem...

First..... I"M SORRY!

I goofed here and totally made a boo-boo with Saer.... I Rp with him in another thread where he uses that ability......... and I wrote him that way.........

He's been edited back to like everyone else....... having to LEARN the languages he hears........... he's empathic not super brilliant!

I loved the idea of the language barrier when we started it and am sorry that I almost nixed it...... no more super elf.....

Just Pm me if I goof again please.....

*huggles kaaz* You're a sweetie!

Now... I have a teeny question, lol!!

In kaaz's post she specifically mentions one of the Germans being bitten by the orc-hound. And yet... in a following post... it gets 'stopped' beforehand... I think I'm just a little confused on this. (maybe it's just me... it's been a LONG day, lol!!)

Yes, Gwen. I noticed that. I'm sure it was just a minor oversite. The next time Pb reads through it, he'll probably edit.


OK! I'm feeling completely worn out!! Although I LOVE the challenge of translations, I for one understand that there isn't always time or desire to translate all the dialogue!! I think we need to come up with some sort of way to tell when the other languages have had English substituted for them. In my latest post it is as follows:

Sindarin
English
Old English

If anyone has trouble seeing any of these colors, let me know and I'll change it! Also... these colors work well if someone wants to use them for Quenya, etc.

Purple

Red

Using the colors is a great idea... ummm... :blush: I hate to admit this... but haven't a CLUE as to how to add colored text in here... Would someone be so kind as to tell/show me how? :angel:

And... just as an FYI... I use the Legolas Theme, and the dark blue choice for Old English is nearly unreadable. :dizzy:

Aaaaand you add the colors by typing:

*gasps* First blood!!! :evil:

Nice posts everyone! :love:

I have started to write my next post several times, but each time I get stuck. First of all, would Will and Mir be able to hear the gunshot? I know we have established that the island is large, but is it large enough that the sound of the gunshot would not reach Will's ears? If he can hear it, then I'm all set for my next post. If not, then I shall have more questions to ask

I edited so that the dog did attack the sailor, but grabbed him by the back of his collar, doing no injury to him. I hope that wil suffice. Müller wouldn't listen to his explanations so did not know that the attack even took place.
Now i guess we need for Müller to take possession of Bel's hut for himself. Bel we sleep in the forge.

Bel will soon also show off his blades by slicing at either a gun or a knife from one of the Germans , with the blade mounted on the wall of his forge.

Ok!.... First, we haven't really established exactly how far the German U-boat made landfall from the harbor. Aaaand, you'd be surprised how far a gunshot can be heard especially on a clear night and in an environment where there isn't a lot of extra noises (i.e. a city)... The old German Lugers (what I learned to shoot on when I was around 6)--though not the loudest of side-arms--were pretty noisy. I'd say that the humans would be able to hear them at least over a mile or so... and the Elves would hear it over an even longer distance.

In MY opinion, I'd say go for it, Mae! I mean, especially with the tense situation, the Navy boys would be very atuned to such a sound.

BTW, Faer! That post was AMAZING!! And I can't wait to see what Pb's character does when he realizes his new 'friends' have just severly wounded one of the Elf-kind! This thread ROCKS!!!

Well, I think that Faervara, kaazebrabeads and I have sort of 'assumed' that the U-boat is on the southern end of Valinor, while the US ships are quite a bit farther north. It does not have to be that way, of course - they can be closer.

And yes... our elves will definately be hearing that pistol-shot!

Sedha's profile is now in the database!

Thanks, Faen, I'm glad you liked my post - But Sedha is not severy wounded, it's only a flesh wound, and elves heal fast... I don't want her to be hurt seriously - and it would be too horrible for her empathic husband... Saer's worried enough as it is...

Just one remark: PBHF, when Bel hands the Germans the fruits he seems to suddenly understand their language.... when one of them exclaims to Müller how delicious the fruit is. Could you perhaps change that? I'd think it would be more fitting if they can not communicate verbally....

Oh, and I am sorry about the back to back post - it's just that I have so many characters at the moment....

OK fixed.
Bel has now demonstrated just how good his mail and blades are made. He has also given the sailor's some lembas, which Müller is considering confiscating, as supplies for the ship.
I should advise you all that I'm not really used to making posts that long so I'll welcome any constructive criticism.

Um... I'd like to post for Capt. Andrews, but I've been sort of waiting for a post by/for Garrison (when you have time Faen - not meaning to rush you at all!! ), before starting/holding his conference meeting.

I've been back through the posts and haven't seen anything 'specific' about the number of US ships that sailed into the Harbor. Whether that's important or not, I don't know, but a 'general' mention of commanders gathering works, I think.

One thing I think that Andrews would want to do is get an idea of it's size. I'm proposing to have him order one ship to sail around it - heehee going NORTH so they won't know the location of the U-boat right away. They'd also be under orders NOT to land anywhere - at least yet.

Does that sound like a reasonable idea?

Well.... In the convoy at the beginning of the thread, we started out with the Destroyer (the Nichols), a Battleship, and two FFG's (fast frigates).

I'll try to find some time in the next two days or so to write a post.... but, if you want to Gwen, feel free to write Garrison into your post. I trust you!

I think that having one of the FFG's sail around to the north is a PERFECT idea! "Glad I thought of it!"

Aaaaaand.... I know that, invariably, this is where someone is going to ask me how big the island is. I have NO idea! Hahaha ... BUT, thankfully, we DO have the Middle-earth geography expert on our thread. *Faen looks to Pb for the answer to THIS one!*

LOL! Faen! Always glad to share ideas with you! I'll work something up.

I may not be the 'expert', but I do have a copy of the 'Atlas of Middle Earth' (by Karen Wynn Fonstad). What IT says about Valinor does not help one little jot. It says that 'distances were not only not mentioned - they were meaningless'. Which is a real pain - since we pretty much NEED them!

However... we're in the Atlantic Ocean, so we don't have as much 'room' to work with as in the Pacific. Perhaps we could 'assume' that Valinor is approximately the size of Cuba?

This could be a little problematic as Valinor ws likely continent-sized
I do have suggestion. If you altered the first post so that when the truce is reached, we're sent to Eressea and Tol Erresea is returned to earth. This would give us a smaller sized island, and Erresea was known to have moved in the distant past, ferrying elves to Valinor.
This is, of course ,only a sugestion, but it wuld give us an island of a size that we could hide in the Atlantic

ok! I edited the first post to make this Tôl Eressëa... not sure if the changes make sense or screw up the flow. :feedback: I figure it makes sense that the Elves would be driven into exile, but any suggestions on other changes to make the first post better are VERY welcome!

:hug: Hennaid veneg for keeping my 'facts' straight, Pb!

I'm going to try to work up a post tonight! As I'm still brain-dead from yet another hell-night at work, wish me luck! Aaaaaaaand, I was kinda hoping that Mae would be able to post for Will again first. So, if you have a post in the works, Mae, feel free to go ahead and I'll post after you!

_______________________________

BTW.... I tried to send this to you as a PM, Mae, but your inbox was full

Hey, Mae!
I just wanted to throw an idea your way! IF you feel up to another character, I thought you could intro a cousin of Brêg's kids. It could be either male or female, but I think it would be SOOOO much more interesting if it were a 'she'. SHE would be the child of Loktar and Hîredû!

I thought that she could have the best features of both parents. 'Re's beauty along with Loktar's muscles and strength. 'Re's intelligence and cunning along with Loktar's desire to always do what is right as well as her gentle nature. Whatcha think?!?!?

I would even be up to having us both work the character into our posts if you don't feel up to handling a whole other character by yourself! Lemme know!!

*Gasps* Loki has a daughter???? :disco: I absolutely love the idea!!!! And I would be more than willing to write the part... *pictures a really tall, muscular woman with straight blonde hair and Loktar's dark eyes* hm, I think she will come out later though, since she has Loktar's better qualities, she would be a pacifist, and probably a hermit due to her hatred of the kin-Wars. Anyhow...

Loved all of the posts! Hm, so Breg now feels as though these strangers are dangerous eh? Poor Will, I hope Breg takes it easy on him, he only means well. Also, Wolfy, I stopped where they were racing back, feel free to add any twists or whatnot you wish

I LOVE the images of the Muller. Ambitious Daydreamer huh?

Anyhow, the post is finally up *wipes sweat off brow* Sorry it's a bit short, but at least I finally managed to write one

My dearest co-writers.

I am facing a problem I think we can easily solve together. I am thinking about the profiles of my Quendi, but here I need your assistance.

You see, I think we all will agree that they are different from the ones that arrived from Middle-Earth later. They have never seen any other race, they have lived in a relative isolation, "in their own poridge", as we say here in Latvia. Did you get my idea? Moreover, Sardaore (a pure-blooded Vanya) was married to a Maia, so their kids (Culda and Sili) are half-maiar...

What I would ask you for, is: what kind of differencies you would accept? Gwen already told me she didn't think they (Quendi) would be more graceful than the others, but that both youngsters could have a special glow in them. I also think they could have a lighter skin than the Sindar and the Noldor. What do you say? I would eagerly accept all the cmments and suggestions, as I have never before written a Quendi character...

Hmmm.... Well... The only thing I can think of, Nif, is that--for some reason--I am under the impression that the 'High Elves' of Valinor had slightly larger ears than their Sindar cousins. I'm not sure if this was truly attested by Tolkien, or if it is just something that people have come up with as a 'distinguishing feature'. Maybe someone else knows more?

Also, I think the 'High Elves' tended to be slightly taller.

Since your character is half-Maiar, they could have more 'foresight' than the 'normal' Elves. I'm not sure what else. Rudh's character is also half-Maiar, so perhaps she would have a better idea.

I don't mind if characters have the special abilities that are attested to the different races in Tolkien's works! So, as long as the Maiar of Tolkien had the traits, feel free. I just try to avoid any 'Super characters' that wouldn't fit in well to the story line.


GREAT post, Mae!! Now if only I can come up with one to follow! :banghead:

OK... for better or worse, my post's up! I am feeling very frustrated with my writing on this thread. It seems like all my posts are long-ish, but don't really move the story along very well. I never know when to stop writing in order to keep from writing too much of other peoples' characters. Has anyone else felt that I should be moving things along faster? :feedback:

Let me know if I need to edit anything!

I loved your post Faen! *patpats her wolfy* atpat: And I think the story is going by fast enough as it is. There are a lot of things going on, and there is no need to rush things any.

Oh and I was wondering, how will Garrison react to Will's newest information? I need to know before I post my next post. (if he will send out a party right away, make Will stay where he is, meet him on the beach, or seek safety with the natives) Or if you want to write it yourself, just know that even though Will is nervous and out of breath, he will still try to calm his speaking and act like a proper officer.... Anyhow...

So... we should be approaching morning here shouldn't we? And yes... (and hopefully I did Garrison ok!) 'Capt. Andrews' needs to know/see Garrison's reaction, too, I think... when there's time!

AI! I can't believe that I totally forgot to write in Garrison's reaction. Actually, I never really meant for him to 'become' one of my characters.... it just seems to have happened. If you guys want, we could see him as community property!

You wrote him perfectly, Gwen! And anyone should feel free to write him into their posts. He's basically easy to write. He's proud, pompous, aggressive and ambitious!

Mae, I think you write ALL of my characters so perfectly anyway, that Garrison should be no prob! Go for it.

Ok... since the Fletching on Thiadvain's arrows is so 'distinctive' (not that everyone else's isn't - by any means at all!! ), I thought, that just for the heck of it, I'd 'identify' it - if no one minds... So... here it is: they are brown feathers, with 2 1/4 inch 'strips' of green and red at the 'notch-end' of the arrows.

I'm LOVING this RP!!!!

okay guys, I cannot for the life of me write anything decent (writers block) so I thought I would come up with a 'map' of the island. I have labled key areas with numbers, if you guys like this map, then I can easily revamp it or change it or start over or whatnot. I used a map editor to create it, so it was pretty easy to do. I think I added enough 'key areas'. I also made a Northern peninsula, that way the Quendi would sort of be geographically isolated as well... Please feel free to give any changes or criticism, or suggestions. :bigpuppydogeyes:

1: Sindar
2. Island center? (where the meeting hall is, they would need some common ground?)
4.Bel's Forge (also a 'settlement' of one of the races, not sure which Bel is associated with)
7. Quendi
8. Island of the peacemakers (those who refused to take part in the kin-wars)
9. German landing site
10. American landing site

Anyhow, that's what I came up with so far. :feedback:

(*sniffles* I lost a lot of detail when I had to resize it. Also there are waterfalls and shiny fountains and flickering torches and all that good stuff, stupid still shots )
