Sorrrrrrrrrry!!!!

[Eledhwen]

Sorrrrrrrrrry!!!!It's a sad day when you can't stick your bottom lip out every now and then when things don't go your way.

I just got back from a week in sunny Mallorca (I know, you never noticed I was gone!). It was like Blackpool, only with more sunburn. I booked a last minute deal; I was tempted by a very good deal to Bulgaria, but the flight out was from Gatwick (nr London) and the return flight would land at Glasgow in Scotland. I am still wondering if they found any takers. :rolleyes:

I posted in the Birthday thread before I went, but I would still like to wish Lhun very belated birthday greetings and a happy and prosperous year ahead.

[Aulë]

I'm sorry that I'm being so useless around here (although I don't appear to be the only one slacking off ;) ), but I'm being slaughtered by exams. They'll last for a couple more weeks, then I'll be going on holidays (to the Gold Coast in Queensland) for three weeks.
Hopefully after all that, I'll be able to contribute around here. :)

[Eledhwen]

I'm being slaughtered by examsEveryone has to deal with life outside the forum - especially when it's something as important as exams (and holidays in sunny Queensland!) Oh for a real rabbit room to retire to and meet face to face over a cold drink.

[Gil-Galad]

Eledhwen,BG???You wanted to go to BG?oo you missed a great vacation thre,trust me.

47 more days and I will be back in BG,and my favourite place-Sunny Beach is waiting for me,with the big beaches and the hot sands,drinking my favourite Mai-Thai :) together with my girlfriend ..............


*Gil-galad realizes that he is dreaming again:(.....47 days more..... :(*

[Eledhwen]

Eledhwen,BG???You wanted to go to BG?oo you missed a great vacation thre,trust me.Iknow, I know! If only they would have flown us back to Gatwick instead of Glasgow we would have gone. Maybe next time I get the urge to fly off at a few days notice, Bulgaria will come up again. It's not straightforward with a family of five.

[Finduilas]

Lol, Eledhwen, I hope I see you one day in Bg...:)

And now...

HHAPY BIRTHDAY, DRJEKIL_BG!

Get the best out of your holiday...:)

[Gil-Galad]

Happy Birthday Drjekil. :)


Hope to se you more often around here ;)

[Manveru]

gee, i come once in a looong while and what do i see... nothing... hmm, at least i didn't miss anything...

btw, belated happy b-day, doctor :) (is he still around, tho?;))

-------------
PS. waiting for a possitive tide's turn... got a mix of ancient history, mythology and literature in my head, but... maybe in a week's time i'll be able to show up more frequently (need to relax before exams starting June 28 and i don't know better place to do so - well, maybe i do know, but THAT needs to wait... a little more than a week :( ). anxious to be a part of the gang again. take care, bye bye :D

[Gil-Galad]

Yes he is around here but at the moments ,just like Findi,he has to finish his school year ;).

Hey Manv,did you check the Economy of ME????Or The Never Asked question?Pretty interesting things ;)

[Gil-Galad]

Hey,where are you guys?????


Some time ago I posted something really interesting in The Noldorin Forge-Economy of Middle-earth,some of you(those who are not members of GOT are most welcome :))may find it interesting and decide to take part in it.

[Scatha]

One dragon has returned from hiatus, namely this one. The apartment is not completely finished yet, but I'll be present nontheless.

Where do we stand at the moment in regards to this guild? Have we made definite plans yet whether we are moving to the books section, or are we still at a mexican stand-off?

[Lhunithiliel]

"...There was the dragon, lying half across a broken hedge with his
horrible head in the middle of the road ...wide awake looking at all.

`Good morning!' said the dragon. `You seem surprised!

'Good morning!' said Lhun. `I am that. But to tell you the truth, glad I am , too!'

`Excuse me,' said the dragon. He had cocked a very suspicious
ear when he caught the sound of rings jingling, as the lady
moved. `Excuse my asking, but were you looking for me, by any
chance?'

`No, indeed!' said the farmer. `Who'd a' thought of seeing you
here? I was just going for a ride.'

`Then we meet by good luck,' said the dragon. `The pleasure is
mine.'

'And mine!' said Lhun. 'All mine, Master Dragon! And to begin with, I'd say that nothing much you'll find in these lands. Life, you know, has been going on without much hustle and bustle lately. And how about you? Far lands you seem to have wandered to. It happens that I have plenty of time today, Master. I would be delighted to hear your story. What say you?.... "

:D :D :D

/paraphrising Farmer Giles of Ham/

[Manveru]

"... What say you?.... "
wakie wakie, grumpies... where's the spirit? (more important: where's everybody?)

[Finduilas]

wakie wakie, grumpies... where's the spirit? (more important: where's everybody?)

To tell you the truth...

...*whispers*...

I don't know... :p

[Manveru]

BTW, what are these "so many books" that you have been reading lately, Angel? And when are you going to let out and share with us all those tons of info in mythology and history that you've been talking about? I've been waiting with interest to read sth. about it !!! Would you share? (not here, in this thread of course ;) )
hmm...

sorry, for a double-posting thingie... but... pheewie, finally i'm back (don't know for how long, but i'm back;)) after being admitted to study classical philology (latin, greek, etc. :p) *jumps from joy* (*wildly* - good you don't see me now;))

soooooooooooooooooooooo... what's happening, folks?

:D

--------------
EDIT: seems it's not as "double" as i thought... thx, little one :)

[Finduilas]

Latin, Greek...hehe...an educated Angel...:p:D

Kidding.:) It's very interesting indeed and...am...remember when everybody around here was speaking (writing :rolleyes: ) in Latin?....Well, guess Greek's coming now...hah:D
Have to sit down and learn this and that...:p

Now seriosly...;)....how was it? Enjoyed it? (little and stupid :rolleyes: ....you said you are happy...heh)

[Manveru]

ah, silly... c'mon :)
it was like usually is... nervous, but survived... and yes, kinda enjoyed it, Krakow is a beautiful city.

nice to see you around, little... okay, it's time to end this, right, Fin? anyhow... glad to see you again

Happy to see you too..., Man...;)
No more little ones ok...:p...after all, turned 16 last month..:D

[Gil-Galad]

NO WAY!!!

I finished my academic year,but I have never been busier than now.I do NOT have time to sleep(if I manage to sleep for 6 hours I consider it a real vacation).

That's the curse to be a great King-no time for personal life and vacations,as well as for TTF :( (adctually I am working really hard these days-16 hours a day and I hope to be back soon :( )

[Scatha]

Findi, Lhun, what has happened with the plans for the survival of the guild?
Has anything been accomplished yet, is there any progress?

[Lhunithiliel]

Findi, Lhun, what has happened with the plans for the survival of the guild?

Oh, mighty Dragon, the wraith has been away for some time, pursuing some wraithish dreams...
It's over now and she has flown back here. :)

[Manveru]

i can see that... (and you got fatter, too :p are you still able to fly, wraith?;))

i wasn't aroud much... but it was due to my exams (as been said above, somewhere... whatever). now, since my dream is accomplished (another one... now setting my mind on the next one and so on...), i can put my wings to something useful, if needed... you know where to find me (heavenly avenue, happiest corner of heaven :D)

----------
btw, about that "getting fatso", are you a mod again, Lhun?

[Gil-Galad]

hmhm I think it will survive,don't ask why but some things are being discussed "in private" and probably next week there will be some really interesting news :).

[Lhunithiliel]

First off, I'd like to say

CONGRATULATIONS, ANGEL !!!!!!!

What you have achieved is of extreme importance ... and it is!! For this is one of those first steps we take in our lives fully aware of the power of free will that we have been blessed with.

. . .

Aaaah! Except for me, I know a certain Maya who must be bursting with pride now!!!

Enough! Too much good is not too good (for a wraith of course! :D )

Angel, "fat" I am only temporarily. Someone has to do the "dirty" job of "cleaning", right? ;)
As for flying ... Hey! Watch out! That dark cloud in the skies ... don't you think it's somehow strange? ;)

[Morgoth]

Hello everyone!
Finally, my exams are over (well, they were last week, but i've had alot on, end of year balls, parties and whatnot), so i will be spending alot more time here. This is the first post i've made, I'm off to find some topics in the GoT!

[Gil-Galad]

I am glad to see that we are gathering again.Actually you are gathering again because of my status of "working-16hours-a-day-freak).:(

This is my first free day for a long time and I've spent most of it sleeping :o

[Scatha]

Ahh, I see Lhun, but you seem to have taken charge again too. ;)
(Don't forget to fly onto the other board too, dear wraith) :p

GG, that is life. Nobody can blame you for having one, even though it is work that fills it. :)

[Lhunithiliel]

Ahh, I see Lhun, but you seem to have taken charge again too. ;)
Ah! You know ... the old "itch" never leaves me in peace! ;) :D

(Don't forget to fly onto the other board too, dear wraith) :p
I am there, brother Vinata! I am! It's time to for some action, too... ;)

[Finduilas]

Just wanna say that within a few hours, I'm setting off to the seaside. :D
So for a week I won't be around...
Well, bye for now. :) See you later...

*starts packing...*:D

[Manveru]

have a nice trip, little one :)

[Eledhwen]

At last, I am waiting in today for someone to come round and rebuild my computer. It has taken to shutting down messily while I am online (hence not much time spent online!), so I am taking advantage of the visit to have a DVD drive built in too :)

[Gil-Galad]

I cannot believe that it is happening. ;)
Tomorrow is my last day at work and if everything is as I want it to be on Thursday night I will be in BG,met by my girlfriend.

A whole month of doing nothing,but having a nice time.And I promise to be more active ;) here ,because TTF and GOT are part of my understanding for having a nice time ;)

[Manveru]

i cannot believe that!!! ;)

i've never been jealous in my life... or if i ever had, the feeling was nothing compared with the thoughts that invaded my mind the moment i read your words, Kingy... gosh, are we all living on the same planet?! at least some are lucky... agh, don't listen to me. it's nothing new, that nonesense stream of conscience flowing thru my mouth (fingers, in this case). have a great time, use it well...

---------
oh, and about your plans to hang out in here... i'd give all the time i spend here just to see... agh, whatever...

[Beleg]

stream of concious is always intresting

[Manveru]

Beleg, my old friend, what winds brought you in here? (don't get me wrong; totally surprised and glad to see you again:))

[Lhunithiliel]

Hey, guys!
It's nice to hear from you all!

Of course, summer ... time to relax and have fun...
So, GG will come to the very right place where this can be done! ;) :D

And you Blue Angel .... C'mon! Don't be so blue !!!
(BTW, where is that Maya Queen of ours ??? :rolleyes: )

And Findi is somewhere on the coast (though, poor her!, the weather is being so nasty!) .. And El - having her computer fixed ... People seem to have scattered ...
But I guess this is quite normal for this time of the year.

Yet, I, whenever have the time, don't miss to chance to read a line or two.
Meanwhile, the "Library" was cleaned and soon I will transfer there those threads from the "Noldorin Forge", that fit better in the "Library".

GG, for the NF I have a great (...or so it seems ... :p ) idea for an activity!
And Manv, I have another one for the "Caves".
And if you only knew how much I miss the "What if?" - stories!!!!
And ... a couple of other things .... ;)

But, 'tis summer!!!

Guys, and have you thought of the fact that just when the active season starts we'll have our dear friend gate7ole back? I know he's been impatient to come back after all that time in the army, away from Tolkien!

Meanwhile, I'd like to tell you as well, that the Webmaster has not answered to my letter yet.
But ... whatever his final decision might be, the community, I very much hope, is and will be here.

Wraithfully yours

[Gil-Galad]

Gate7ole back????Finally!!!

I remember the old times with him and "The What "If" Game".It has passed a long time since I saw him here for last time.I hope his is done with his military service.

It is getting quite interesting here,with the returning of some old members.I see also Beleg around-nice to see you here ;).

Lhun just send me a pm about your NF's idea :) I am eager to read it.What is more I would like to start Economy of Middle-earth.Volunteers?I think that in the following two weeks I will publish the beginning of my work concerning The Numenoreans.

But let me first take my flight back -9 hours more !!!!!!! and 12 till I kiss again my girlfriend!!!

[Manveru]

And you Blue Angel .... C'mon! Don't be so blue !!!
(BTW, where is that Maya Queen of ours ??? :rolleyes: )
don't you know i'm blue to the bone, wraith?

and Maia... *sighs* she's very busy (professionally), so... but i'm sure she's happy :D

oh, and i could try that "idea-treatment" of yours with pleasure... maybe a cure for my blues :p

[Lhunithiliel]

Guys, to start those activities I'm speaking about, just as well as to continue the existing ones, people are needed. Right? :)

And people have scattered because of the summer vacation.

However, ... how do you want me to let you know my thoughts about the new ideas - in PM-s or openly in a thread?

But .... both of you, if my wraithish mind is still clear, are in charge of two large sections of these halls.
So... Don't you have what to occupy your mind with ?!!! :p

Oh, and GG, I'll probably need your help for moving some threads around.
**********

P.S. Manv, is M. on archeological excavations somewhere in the country? I wouldn't be surprised! So many new ancient sites have been recently discovered!
Anyway, when you "meet" her in the ether, pass to her a "Hello!" from me! :)
**********

All right......
"Talk" to you tomorrow :)

[Manveru]

i'm open...

guess you know with what our minds are occupied, right? :p
P.S. Manv, is M. on archeological excavations somewhere in the country? I wouldn't be surprised! So many new ancient sites have been recently discovered!
where would you look for an arch if not there?
Anyway, when you "meet" her in the ether, pass to her a "Hello!" from me! :)

will do... (tho hope to meet her soon not only in inverted commas...)

********
PS. and prefer mountain side/sunny beach than ether ;)

[Gil-Galad]

Hello from Bulgaria.

I thought I was going to have a nice time in my country,a vacation that I deserved.But I learned about my grandfather's death one month ago.Nobody told me while I was in Belgium because they were afraid of my reaction and what I would have done if they had told me.
That is why I needed some time and I went to the mountains for a week.I just do not know what is happenning with me-since some time I've had nothing but bad luck.

Tonight I am going to the seaside for a couple of days,because I do not want to stay at home and when I am back I suppose I will be online.

Lhun,just pm-me with the things you want me to do.Actually I am in SOZOPOL,do you want to visit me these days?
or if you want call my mobile,we can arrange something.

By the way I am almost done with the first part of my work concerning The Economy of Numenor.

[Manveru]

my sympathies, kingy... (btw, it's not "bad luck" that haunts you, it's life...)

anyway, try to relax (you have perfect opportunity, try to use it well - i know death in the family doesn't make your spirit high, but trust me, to live is to die... grieve, but live, fully. your grandfather would told you the same...)

and... always welcome online, my friend :)

[Finduilas]

And now....I reckon you know what follows...;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BELEG!

I wish you all the luck you can bear! The rest depends on you. ;)

Enjoy!

[Hirila]

Posted by Lhun in the Events Game:BTW, why don't you drop by the "Happenings" -thread and tell us where you've been, what new experience you've gained, what adventured you've passed through ... You have been away so long, dear Lady!
Well, if you really want to know where I've been... Here's the short version: I was on a bike tour through India, lived with Aboriginees for some weeks befor going to Guatemala as a nanny for a family of friends for two months.

:-D
Just kidding, since April I've been hanging around at school at my beloved Lake Constance, trying to stay awake during lectures and getting good grades for my diploma. If it wasn't for the lake to swim in and the tourists to laugh at it would be soo boring in Constance. But these two make up for everything.
And before that, I think I told you I was in San Francisco, CA to do an internship there for the winter. But of course you remember, I was quite active during those months, not having much else to do.

It's just that during semester I don't really feel like thinking much outside lectures... I don't know how you feel, but I always feel a bit tired and burned out after class. And when you have to read about 200 pages of "scientific" articles per week you don't really feel like reading anything more demanding than "Gone with the Wind". And to admit, I don't even feel like going online and ruining my eyes staring at my computer.
And what new experiences I've made... well, the most life-changing experience was my boyfriend who broke up with me while I was still in the US. And on coming back I, still madly in love, had a hard time learning he really didn't love me any more. So for the first time I had to cope with not only a broken heart, but with a whole life broken to pieces. (Luckily it is mended now and treated well by another wonderful young man.)

To all lovesick girls around here: Never, NEVER, listen to people who tell you that everyone has to go through this at least once and that it will be okay someday. This is not just the flu! Go out and treat your broken heart. Cry, fight, make your mistakes. This is about YOU and not about everyone. And if you want to make a fuss about it, do so and do it loud. It will help. Only keep in mind to calm down when you start feeling silly. That's the point where you're not in love with that guy any more.

That's why I've been away for such a long time.

[Manveru]

hey, why not "to all lovesick boys around here" as well?! do only girls are the ones that are being "dumped"? don't think so...

so great there are those "lucky moments", eh, Hirila? sometimes good guys just fall from the sky (previously not being noticed by anyone)

Do men know what love is at all ?!!! :rolleyes:

[Manveru]

Do men know what love is at all ?!!! :rolleyes:
well... i'm not considering myself a phd in that matter, tho... ;)

btw, i know at least "that many" *shows his fingers* girls/women who don't :p

[Hirila]

Do men know what love is at all ?!!! Oh yes, men do know what love is, I am sure. The problem might be in the definition of it. ;)

As my favorite singer sings:
"Two sides to every story,
We're standing worlds apart..."

[Manveru]

Oh yes, men do know what love is, I am sure. The problem might be in the definition of it. ;)
i.e. ...? :rolleyes:

[Finduilas]

Go out and treat your broken heart. Cry, fight, make your mistakes. This is about YOU and not about everyone. And if you want to make a fuss about it, do so and do it loud.

Good tactics. ;)
But you know, we shouldn't break our nerves for those who don't love us, right? As the same person;) sings:

I'm ready with my lies.

That probably would help too. ;)

[Manveru]

niiiiiiiiiice, but i'd prefer you follow the rule from your deep thoughts, little one :)

[Lhunithiliel]

WOW!!!
What a topic I have opened! :eek:
But... Angel, you know that old rule - "the present are an exception" ;) :D

No, friends, men...women... we are all human beings and it seems all depends on what a person one is, not what gender. Right? :)

[Finduilas]

WOW!!!
What a topic I have opened! :eek:
But... Angel, you know that old rule - "the present are an exception" ;) :D

No, friends, men...women... we are all human beings and it seems all depends on what a person one is, not what gender. Right? :)

Hehe...Mum, we all know you can't resist that love thing...it's in the venes. ;):D
But you're right. Correct. One point to your team. :D

niiiiiiiiiice, but i'd prefer you follow the rule from your deep thoughts, little one :)

Yes, but when they treat you like....'an animal' :rolleyes:, well, should you allow them to manipulate you....Nay. :p

[Manveru]

yay, we've been moved! did you feel those quakes? welcome to halls of tolkienology everyone!

:D

[Lhunithiliel]

W O W !!! :d

What a lovely surprise !!!

CONGRATULATIONS !!!

*********

After the fireworks, however, you do realize that we have a lot of work to do! ;)
So ... I would appreciate highly and deeply :D the active support of you all - both the Managing staff AND all the rest!

[Gil-Galad]

OMG,I am back guys.I missed you so much.Now I am back in Belgium and although one of my most important exams in my life is in 20 days I will try to be online and to be part of the GOT,if you already forgot me.This year will be very difficult for me and I will have to study really much in Dutch and French(they are not the strongest parts if my language cognition,especially the French language.),but I will be around because I missed you guys.

Manv,congratulations for the university you are accepted in,you did a great job.See you around guys.

[Manveru]

It is seems that a real BG colony is being estalished here :)
A new Bulgarian?
WHAT ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHERE ?!!! :eek:

Hey, Bulgarian, report! ...... Or.... do you want the wraith to hunt you out? ! :p :D

[Manveru]

i'd prefer the latest (nothing compares to a few good exercises, eh, wraith?:p), but... i'm not BG, so...

...just came to say: good luck, kingy. hope you'll make it... flying colours...

[soltan gris]

The new bulgarian reporting......(with the faint hope that he will be safe from the wraith's anger:)))))))
I'm willing to incorporate here all the bulgarian colonies I'm part of, but this will be difficult (since almost none of my friends doesn't like Tolkien as much as I do:). So, you'll have to be satisfied with a single new bulgarian member for now.......
I'm working on the character of Turin Turambar (for The Gallery of Characters), and what's more - I'm willing to open a sort of discussion for him. How do you perceive him? As a tragic hero, beaten by the fate, or as an overprided fool, destroying everything he touches? Of course, the answers have to be based on Tolkien's works...
I'm waiting your opinions, and I'll try to incorporate them in my article about Turin. Hope I'll have enough time for it with all my duties going on...

[Manveru]

greetings, noob ;)

gosh, "a single new bulgarian member for now"! gee, yea, that's really tragic... c'mon!! i can't remember the time when "a single new PL member" have joined... but still, don't feel very lonely with this :D

concerning Turin, well, i guess i've opened a thread (some time ago) about sth connected to him... it must have been very long ago, cos... i'm not very much into deep "scientific" discussions anymore (too "short" :( ) and i think it wouldn't be useful anyway... but you may search the fora; it's somewhere over there...

welcome aboard (btw, i'm not wraith yet; but watch out if you have in mind hanging out with her; it's contagious :p)

[Gil-Galad]

Welcome aboard Miro :)!

I am glad to see you around.First of all take a look around,there are many interesting things which I am sure you will like.

Concerning your work on Turin Turambar-just go for it :) We are expecting your work in the Gallery with great interest.There are many things that can be said for Turin and his life:) .

If you need any help just ask me or search for me online in mirc- #middleearth is one of the places where you can find me.I am krembo^ when I am online.
See you.


As you can see guys I am back.Today I set my most important exam and I would like to ask you to pray for me.I am supposed to receive my result on Wednesday.

The King is back ;) and after long time of being not active I am really hungry for Tolkien. :) :cool:

Now I am going to have some sleep cause for the last few days I haven't slept enough,I really had to study hard. :rolleyes:

[Manveru]

god, what a BG spirit floating around; have anybody missed that guy? guess he's back :D

since my (un)holy body's late transformation, i don't know of how much power are my prayers, but count on that one... kingy

[Lhunithiliel]

Hello, hello!!! :D

I am so glad to see new faces around!

My King, I can't even imagine that you'd fail on that exam! You're such a fighter!
I am so glad you're back! :)

Soltan, I'm looking forward to your Turin-profile. I hope my "instructions" helped you in finding the right place for it.
As for the discussion - please! It's going to be nice to have one on this subject! :cool:
And Angel, can you find thatthread? I, too, remember there was sth. on the same subject. You can provide a link to it, when Soltan opens his discussion-thread. :)

[Finduilas]

Hehe...:p
*Jumps in the welcoming* ;)
Soo...welcome!:D We're waiting for your contributions and works, fellow-citizen. ;)
That would be 'see you around' then...:)

* * *

:eek: What do I see?!!!
The wraith without her beautiful avatr(s)?!!!!!! That should be recorded?!!!! :D
Oooooh, a Loremaster.... :rolleyes: :D

[soltan gris]

wow, that was a WAAAAARM welcome.... I feel at home now:D
thank you all for this, and I'll try not to dissapoint you;)
I'll open the discussion thread for Turin shortly and I'll let you all know 'bout it.
Wait for meeeeeeeeeeeeee...............................:coo l:

[Manveru]

And Angel, can you find thatthread? I, too, remember there was sth. on the same subject. You can provide a link to it, when Soltan opens his discussion-thread. :)
link, link... they always want a link... how about a little search, eh? no, don't look at me like that, faceless one... okay, here you go (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?t=12877) :p
in fact, it doesn't cover that much of Turin's adventures in Arda, but still...

and Soltan... get used to that :D

[Lhunithiliel]

faceless ... eh????
Nah! Just .... passing through a metamorphosis! :D

The wraith is gone ...

Meet a Feanorean!
(though with a well known avatar.... but I like this one very much! :) )

Now.... Soltan, it very much depends on what "twist" your idea about Turin has in order to decide where to start your discussion thread about him.

Perhaps, however, the best place for the moment shall be the The Silmarillion (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6) section of TTF.
GOOD LUCK !! :cool:

Angel ... or... whatever creature you are now :D .... that link ... we needed it IN Soltan's thread which is not opened yet! Don't you read me? Where is your mind wandering?!!! :p :D

[Manveru]

faceless ... eh????
Nah! Just .... passing through a metamorphosis! :D

(though with a well known avatar.... but I like this one very much! :) )
bleee! :eek: well... that's sad news, really sad... and you almost succeeded in fetching my blue soul for the dark side... (don't even think of "making" me join your side now, F-thing:p)
Angel ... or... whatever creature you are now :D .... that link ... we needed it IN Soltan's thread which is not opened yet! Don't you read me? Where is your mind wandering?!!! :p :D
i would like to know it myself...

[Lhunithiliel]

bleee! :eek: well... that's sad news, really sad... and you almost succeeded in fetching my blue soul for the dark side...
But I'm still there! ;) :)

(don't even think of "making" me join your side now, F-thing:p)

thank you Manveru, I promise to look at it (when I have time:))))
And Lhun, I like this Avatar better than the previous one;)

[Manveru]

if it can be of any help... anyway, you're welcome :)

[Gil-Galad]

hehe
Lhun,cool pic,I like it,it is not so scary.:)

I am going to open a project about BOLT and I would like to ask you where to open the thread.Since the last cleaning many things have changed.I will post the project thread in the Noldorin Forge,but where to post the original thread?

[Astaldo]

Sorry but by BOLT you mean?

[Gil-Galad]

Book of Lost Tales (Part 1 and Part 2)

[Lhunithiliel]

A BoLT - project? !
Hmmm.... Interesting! Interesting!! :rolleyes:
Besides, I absolutely love the BoLT-s!!!

Where? ... Well, it depends on what this project will be like, King!
Post it in the NF and when I read what it is about, it will be only my pleasure to enter in the role of an "usher" for the main thread. :D

******

Does anyone know where our Fair Finduilas is? :confused: I miss her!
Findiiiiiiiiiiiii!

[Gil-Galad]

Ok I think i will post the beginning of my idea today or tomorrow. :)

The last time I saw Findi,she was studying hard Physics,Is suppose she is pretty busy these days,because there are always lots of the tests in the beginning of every school year.She will be back very soon ,I think.I will try to meet her today or tomorrow in IRC and I will have some more info.

[soltan gris]

I have posted the Turin discussion thread in the Silmarillion section. All are invited to express their opinion:D

[Ithrynluin]

Did you mean to post it in the Gallery of Characters thread in the Library of the Istari forum? If so, I will move it for you.

Great work, anyhow. :)

[Gil-Galad]

Just a short annoucement. :(

My laptop has some problems with the hard-drive and today I will give it to my university's pc service,but it may take some time to be repaired.That means that I might be off-line for a day or two,even a week ,I hope to have my pc back by the end of the week :(

Pray for my pc :( :(

[Manveru]

pray for a comp?! :eek: why not? (i was praying for a computer programmer in my room at the boarding house... i got two of them:p ;) ).

[soltan gris]

Thank you Ithrynluin, but I have another article for Turin to post in the Gallery of Characters. This one will contain all the history, derived from the Silmarillion and Narn I Hin Hurin. The discussion I've just posted is another stuff and I have posted it there on purpose:D

Thank you anyway and I expect your opinion;)

[Lhunithiliel]

Excellent work, Soltan! :)
I'm still thinking on the issues you put to discussion there! :rolleyes:

And...of course, I'm looking forward with great interest to the Turin profile! :)

[Astaldo]

Great work Soltan! :)

[Gil-Galad]

:( Today I was supposed to receive my laptop with its new hard-disc(that was the problem),but the Belgian way of doing the things is simple-they never do the things in time :( .That is why I will have it back on Monday,because nothing works here in the weekends.

One of the worst news is that everythinga that was saved on my old hard-disc is lost,including the 20pages work on the Numenorean,I guess I have to improvise on Monday :) (don't ask about my 16GB music collection :mad: :mad: )

I have a new idea which will be posted on Monday when I am back,at the moment I am using my neighbor's pc and I can not post it now :(

[soltan gris]

The Turin character thread is ready and posted in the Gallery!

Enjoy:D

[Gil-Galad]

WOW,Soltan,nice work :)

[soltan gris]

Hey folks,

since I'm a huge fan of computer games as well as Tolkien I'm willing to post and discuss with you an idea of mine:cool:
It's about an action-RPG (those who have something to do with games will know this type), taking place in........ MIDDLE EARTH (how unexpected:D :D ); just before and during the War of the Ring.
Anyone interested? If yes, name a place to post a thread with the details I have developed so far:)))))))

[Astaldo]

Yeah I'm interested on this. The best place I think is the RPG section. Waiting eagerly to begin your story Soltan. :D

[soltan gris]

hey guys,

just wanted to let you know I watched today for the first time the teaser of the RoTK Extended edition. I WAS SMASHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
Just like the other Extended Editions, this looks like the ACTUAL and COMPLETE work of Jackson, rather that the movie we saw in cinemas last Christmas, as compelling as it was! I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO ARRIVE:eek: :p :D :cool:


And, Astaldo, conserning my game idea, I took a look in the RPG section of the Forum and I found out that we are talking about different thinks here. The games started there are actually Online RPGs, with their stories and adventures developing in real time by real players, and by means of tekst messages. My idea is for an actual graphic game like Heretic and Hexen (if you know what I'm talking about:) and I'm gonna think of somewhere to put it in so you guys who are interested could express your opinion and maybe propose new development ideas;)

Now, anyone with a connection in the game developing industry?

[Astaldo]

It seems that I misunderstood. And frankly I don't know this Heretic what it is.

[soltan gris]

It's an old fantasy - action game. Fighters, swords, magics and stuff.....it was really cool at the time.
Now, of course, it's old-fashioned already. But if someone still remembers it , he'll have a general idea what I'm talking about:p

[soltan gris]

OK guys, I decided to put my game idea in the Noldorin Forge. I'll start a thread there soon. Everyone interested should tremble in anticipation:D ;) :D

[Gil-Galad]

That's cool :)

could you please let me know some more things about the game??

I mean it might no be the best decision to put it in The Noldorin Forge.

I would be glad if you send me a pm with some more details:)

[Astaldo]

I think I will participate too. It seems vey interesting.

[Manveru]

hey there. whoa, these green boards seem familiar to my eyes ;) i know lately i've been here less than usual, but since i'm still learning to swim in the endless oceans of antiquity, still holding my head above the surface, but with this pace... it might take me a looooong time to swim across to the other side :) thus... agh, whatever. since one of my assignments for the next few weeks will be drowning in myths of ancient greece and rome, i have a question: does anybody still pay attention to those "comparative mythologies" threads? inder's work on achilles was great and to me, even without deeper look-ups in the books, at least some parts of T.'s characters' adventures ring a bell...

i'm not stating that i'll be able to write ath meaningful out of those "bells" (concerning my time runs like crazy), but new "inventions" are always welcome around, right? (i mean, still welcome :confused: )

best of luck for all known (and dear) to me as well as new-commers :)

i'm outta here...

[Manveru]

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

...to whomever is still around :)

be it the best you've ever had...

[Gil-Galad]

I want also to wish


MERRY CHRISTMAS to all TTF members and those who are posting around,as well as to my friends here.

:) :cool:

See you around guys :) After the holidays -it is party time :eek: :cool: :rolleyes: :D :p

[Arvedui]

Merry Christmas, everyone! :)

[soltan gris]

na vsi4ki bulgari vuv foruma Vesela Koleda i 4estita Nova Godina:)))))))))))))))))))))))))
To all others : Merry Christmas and Happy new Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let the Lord (not of the rings:))))) bless all your deeds and give you a LOT of chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

[Gil-Galad]

WOW Thank you Arvedui,Soltan ;) I am so glad to see you still around here,and especially to read some Bulgarian language on these boards:)

Well I think it is time to open the Christams presents :cool: :rolleyes:

[Gil-Galad]

Hey Manveru,Happy Birthday bro!!
I will wish you only one thing,the most precious for you ;)....you know what;).... :p

[Manveru]

thank you...

so, what's up around here?

[soltan gris]

again something for all bulgarians (though it's a bit late for it already)

4estita baba Marta da ste beli i 4erveni i zdravi cjl jivot kato edin bataljon Enti:)))))

I 4estit 3 mart susto:)

sorry that I have been absent so long:((( I'll try to visit the site more often in the future:)

[Lhunithiliel]

Hehehe! :D

How about 8-mi mart, a? :p :D

Hi, guys - GG, Angel, Soltan....
I hope you're OK!

[Manveru]

again something for all bulgarians (though it's a bit late for it already)
maybe i'm not a bulgarian... maybe i don't get all that is written above... but... sth red-and-white around my wrist still reminds me i'm a (small) part of it all :D

sth also reminded me that i was (still am?) part of these green boards once... so i decided to drop a line for old friends, new... everyone.

i know that saying that i'll try to find time to be a "live" part around here is worthless against writing sth connected with master t. so... i prefer just to say hello (and hope for more - still got unfinished things here, waiting, haunting me;))

------------
i see our "wraith" doesn't have too much time as well, or is it a lack of (sometimes) annoying people around her to stimulate some action? (i have a strange feeling i should have said it in small fonts, am i right?)

[Gil-Galad]

...I am not ok.....definitely...the King is furious............. :mad: :mad: :mad:

The fact that I have been so busy lately with my exams,with the beginning of my second semester with its 6 courses and three projects explains everything.....

I do not have time for anything else but studying....(ok and some travelling around Luxembourg,Belgium,and Europe as a whole).
Besides everything has been so silent around that I just read and read some posts,but have not written anything....

I miss the Wraith and Finduilas.....without them this place is not the same..... :(

[Lhunithiliel]

Hey, Angel, errrr..... do angels actually speak in 'small fonts'? :p ...errrrr... try even smaller..... :p :D

And you, King, come and visit me ..... IF YOU DARE!

HAHAHAHAHA ............

[Gil-Galad]

I DO!!

but is seems you do not dare anymore to come to those Halls!!!

[Gil-Galad]

Hey guys,is there anyone alive?Lhun,Manveru,Melian,Eriol,Finduilas.....?

I have not seen you for ages....but I have not been online for ages too.Those exams,projects,and real life as a whole did not let me have some fun around for quite a long time.Now after the end of my relatively successful exams and almost in the end of my project I have some free time for TTF and the Halls of Tolkienology-at least till the middle of August :).....

What about you?Should I hunt you with my spear in order to come back?..... ;) :rolleyes:

[Manveru]

What about you?Should I hunt you with my spear in order to come back?..... ;) :rolleyes:
gee, i haven't done it for ages, so i guess i can toss a few lines from me, right? :p

i'm in the middle of... nowhere, but always sth bumps into it (like this visit on ttf). i've got a few decisions to make, tho i'm not into ath in particular.. flying over scotish land these days (visiting sis in edinburgh - lovely place :D ).

melian.. well, she's pretty busy with diggings; likes it once, hates it another time (it is said that one must be there to understand all this :confused: ). i have little contact with her nowadays.

with the rest of you even worse.. i was snooping around the boards a few times in the past months, but... silence. maybe the time has come... :(

take care (whatever you do). you all are always close to me (i've lived the best times of my life so far here with you guys).

:)

hey Manv....so glad to see you around....That makes me believe we could gather the old party.....Will you give me a hand with The Economy of Numenor....just for the beginning?......

[Manveru]

don't think i still can, kingy...

[Ingwë]

Well, Finduilas is not here. She was around more than a month ago. I asked her whether she would be back or not be she tell me that she's too busy till the end of June but I don't see her now.
Lhun is in LotR Plaza...
