Discussion thread for Truly LOST In Middle Earth

[Grey_Wolf]

I thought it a good thing to have a discussion thread for suggestions, ideas and comments for this new and excellent RPG.

Go ahead.

[Grey_Wolf]

OOC: We are not originally from M.E., right? We just are suddenly "Found" here? If I'm wrong, I'll edit this properly.

OCC: Correct. We were suddenly FOUND here in ME. So continue along the lines you've just posted. :)

[brownjenkins]

what's it all about? :)

[Grey_Wolf]

If you'll read the intro-post in the RPG you'll found out.

here it is:

On an island in a middle of a lake somewhere in Middle Earth a gathering of people has survived after a severe storm shipwrecked their ship onto the terribly sharp cliffs surrounding the Island.

thanks, but i meant rpg's in general... is there a grand theme, or is it just freeform?

inquiring minds want to know :D

[Grey_Wolf]

Well, the theme is a parody of LOST with the usual CAST in the RPG posted list. Check it out. You've got a role. :D

[Rían]

I just started in my first one a month ago - dive in! This one would be fun with you! It looks like this one is pretty much freeform.

[Rían]

Hey GW - could you change mine to Experienced Mature (but sometimes slightly psychotic) Motherly Woman? I need a little more leeway for my character ... :evil:

[Grey_Wolf]

Change done. :)

[Willow Oran]

I feel I shoul join in, since I have a character, but frankly I have no clue what said character is like. What on earth is meant by 'Highly Pregnant'?
Does this woman have a husband? Who? What else do I need to know about her?

This is a parody of 'Lost' yes? I've never seen the show beyond the first episode so I have absolutely nothing to go on here. Enlighten me and I will join.

She isn't married! She was left high and dry by and no good bum of a man. Highly pregnant means almost ready to give birth. And since that the case she doesn't do all that much until the child is born but wallow around in the company of The Young Adventurous Man

[The last sane person]

Oh my...I havent seen the show either, but I will post in a minute or so, I am glad we started this...

[Rían]

I haven't ever seen the show, so I hope that doesn't matter .... :eek:

thanks for the change, GW!

[The last sane person]

Wait up, I think our characters actually have names, yes? Step-Brother To Head-Strong Young Woman is quite a whopper to type out each time... If so, next to the cast list, can we post the names we make for our characters?

If so, I'm calling him Todd.

[brownjenkins]

i'm not sure i can manage the paradox of being a Former Iraqi Republican Guard and Reliable :p

how about a troll named Glug who is the sole native inhabitant of said island and isn't particularly happy with his new guests?

[Pytt]

The Physics Teachers name is Gregor, if it works that way.

And I didn't really join this, but I've thought about joining a RPG for some time, so why not? :)

[Grey_Wolf]

I haven't ever seen the show, so I hope that doesn't matter .... :eek:

thanks for the change, GW!

You're welcome.

Name insertion in the Cast has begun.

[Grey_Wolf]

i'm not sure i can manage the paradox of being a Former Iraqi Republican Guard and Reliable :p

how about a troll named Glug who is the sole native inhabitant of said island and isn't particularly happy with his new guests?

Ok, you can be Native Troll Named Glug Who Dislikes the New Arrivals. :D

[Grey_Wolf]

The Korean Couple I decided was a bit tough for BB so he's gonna be the Former Republican Guard/All-around Good Guy instead.

So who wants be the Couple?

[Butterbeer]

well, i'd love to be (and thats a much better character thanks ... but i fear - though i would love to - i fear to play lest it inadvertantly spoils my enjoyment of it ... ain't seen nearly a third of it yet ....)

good move to open a discussion thread though Sir grey wolf ...

this could be a really good rpg!

best BB

edit: p.s. and i love your recruitment techniques! :D truly inspiring!

EDIT 2: if someone who has another character wants to shadow-play him for me till i seen the whole series that'd be cool ... i'd love to be able to join at that point! :)

[Willow Oran]

I'll play, but it's likely that I'll lurk for a bit before actually writing anything. I want to get a feel for what's going on first and I don't think my character has anything to say at the moment.

[Butterbeer]

Willow; well how about the republican guard shadow-play ... and i guess it will be pretty frre-form as rian said ... plus itrust you to take the character on

best BB

[rohirrim TR]

so it actually has been created, interesting, i'll post something on wensday BTW what am i supposed to do, i've never seen the show, all i know is that i have a guitar :D :D

[Butterbeer]

the guitar should help ... just play! ... make music, as they say! :)

[rohirrim TR]

Ok , interesting, this is a very interesting situation

[The last sane person]

and its gonna get more interesting, cue amazinian elf chicks....! *hey, every opening episode needs a nice hook*

[Andúril]

I'll play, but it's likely that I'll lurk for a bit before actually writing anything. I want to get a feel for what's going on first and I don't think my character has anything to say at the moment.As the dude who says "BROTHER!" a lot, I'll be making my appearance in a few weeks time, probably.

[Grey_Wolf]

We need to cast the Korean couple.

Suggestion: Linaewen as the Wife With Knowledge of A Certain Language Unbeknownst To Husband.

Suggestions as to the casting of husband, have ye any? :)

[Butterbeer]

course' there's UDU ..he knows the east too, so maybe UDU and Lin could get moot rpg married? :D

[Grey_Wolf]

Shall we put the question to him then? :D

[Butterbeer]

shouldn't it be him putting popping the question to Lin? :p :D

[Finrod Felagund]

May I be a character?
Maybe the Charlie? (drug addicted musician)

EDIT: Oh...Adventurous young man is Charlie...dang...could I be an extra character?

Drug addicted Rockstar/actor?

[Grey_Wolf]

May I be a character?
Maybe the Charlie? (drug addicted musician)

EDIT: Oh...Adventurous young man is Charlie...dang...could I be an extra character?

Drug addicted Rockstar/actor?

Of course, you may, this isn't verbatim LOST, so you may be that character. I'll add you do the cast in the Main thread. :)

Ok. You're in as one of the Remaining Twenty-Five Characters. :D

[Butterbeer]

Finrod ... you could be the republican guard /all round good dude

( who is also a rockstar and drug addict?)

[Grey_Wolf]

May I be a character?
Maybe the Charlie? (drug addicted musician)

EDIT: Oh...Adventurous young man is Charlie...dang...could I be an extra character?

Drug addicted Rockstar/actor?

You could also stand-in for BB until he can do his role by himself and then hop over to your role:

the Other Drug Addicted Rockstar/Actor of the Remaining Unidentified Twenty-Five Characters

[Butterbeer]

Sir GW: you truly sound like a hollywood studio Exec! :D :D

vert best BB :)

[Grey_Wolf]

Sir GW: you truly sound like a hollywood studio Exec! :D :D

vert best BB :)

Thanks for the compliment. :)

[trolls' bane]

Aww...no one told me about this! :( :evil:

[Grey_Wolf]

Aww...no one told me about this! :( :evil:

Told u about what? The Remaining Twenty-Five?

[Grey_Wolf]

I've forgotten the Son's dog which will now be added to the cast.

Jesper, the Chinese Nude Dog as The Unspeakably Horribly Goldarn Uggliest Dog On the Face of Middle Earth. :D

[The last sane person]

I saw a picture of that thing....I nearly barfed. Not sure, since we already had the troll encounter, should i post with the amazonian elves? I'll save it for later, i think.

[Pytt]

Do that Shah. Can't do all the good stuff at the same time.

[CrazySquirrel]

GW, I LOVED your "shape-shifting Man grabbing" definition of me.. :D
May I use it as a custom title?
CS

[Udukhaturz]

It appears I have been volunteered to be "Korean Man." Do I have any other name except that? I don't know much about Korea. I have not watched TV since 1991, and know nothing of any current TV shows. Where is my "honorable wife?"

I must salvage my camera from the sunken ship and many other supplies and some books. Perhaps even a distillery operation apparatus, and definitely a generator. A tent, perhaps, yes, I must go to the ship and rummage. Where is my honorable wife? I need a beast of burden. :)

[rohirrim TR]

a distillery, a still? moonshine?? *redneck ears perk up* my characer is probably part redneck so maybe he can help you with the moonshine :D :D after all you know what they say "don't drink the water" :D

[Udukhaturz]

a distillery, a still? moonshine?? *redneck ears perk up* my characer is probably part redneck so maybe he can help you with the moonshine :D :D after all you know what they say "don't drink the water" :D

Rohirrim, a distillery can serve several purposes, one to make pleasant things to drink, and the other as a source of fuel for a generator if there is no gasoline present to fuel it. With no electricity, there are problems, but the ingenious make do. :)

[trolls' bane]

No, GW. I meant about this thread! :p

[Grey_Wolf]

No, GW. I meant about this thread! :p

Sorry not having informed u. I just thought we would need a Discussion thread for the RPG. :)

Yes, you are Jin. So it'll be Jin and Lin :D

[Grey_Wolf]

GW, I LOVED your "shape-shifting Man grabbing" definition of me.. :D

CS

It's part of the reason I wrote them like that so if you mooters wanted to use as custum titles you could. :D

[Grey_Wolf]

Does anyone want to be the dog thinking indesipherable dog thoughts. :D

[Udukhaturz]

Yes, you are Jin. So it'll be Jin and Lin :D

So I am Jin. Who is potraying Lin, or is she a public character portrayed by no one?

[Grey_Wolf]

So I am Jin. Who is potraying Lin, or is she a public character portrayed by no one?

I emailed Linaewen so I hope she'll come along post soon. :)

[Udukhaturz]

I emailed Linaewen so I hope she'll come along post soon. :)

Jin hopes she will come along soon to clean and cook the fish. And then there is the rice to be steamed. After the evening meal, he will need her to bring more things from the ship. :)

[CrazySquirrel]

Well, GW, many thanks for my new custom title.

I have almost refused to participate, but I see it is an easy game, not a HUGE project as Nazgul etc. So if you still want me, I will give it a try. :)

[Grey_Wolf]

Of course, CS, you're most welcome. And nice post u posted just now. :)

[The last sane person]

Udu, that's great, you kinda DO remind me of a Korean freind of mine, they actually do think like that. Sort of, but that just cracks me up! Good job Udu! :D I am certainly gonna use my Character def in my sig, I like my title too much.

[rohirrim TR]

Rohirrim, a distillery can serve several purposes, one to make pleasant things to drink, and the other as a source of fuel for a generator if there is no gasoline present to fuel it. With no electricity, there are problems, but the ingenious make do. :)
well, yeah i thought of that afterwards, at anyrates whatever you guys in korea drink, we'll make some of that
:D :D

[The last sane person]

A party! Huzzah! I think what they drink is a derivative of Sake, Jin-Leegave me some once. Packed a punch, and went well with the food, I remember.

[Udukhaturz]

Shah, thanks a lot! Jin is resourceful and might even open a shop where the other survivors can trade things they find for the products of his distillery. :)

Shah, Sake is a good choice. There are many Korean alcoholic beverages. Cheongju is one that does not take long to ferment. There are many others that are used for various purposes that have complicated methods of brewing.

[Finrod Felagund]

Ok...I'll be the Former Iraqui Republican Guard/all around nice guy/drug addicted rockstar/actor.

[Finrod Felagund]

We should nail down our posting style.

It looks like its scripted Present-tense

(*Finrod Walks up to Charlie*

Finrod: You Smell

Charlie: Do not! *slaps Finrod*)

It just works better if its all uniform.

[trolls' bane]

All one style, then? Yes, it sounds much better.

[Grey_Wolf]

Welcome, ofthewind, to this RPG.

Gang, otw is now officially Cannibalistic Cave Girl.

[ofthewind]

thank you Grey Wolf. i really wasn't looking for the cannibalistic part.. but i guess it's cool, provided that i get to scare the living lights out of troll's bane and rohirrim tr!!!!! :D

[trolls' bane]

Go ahead! As long as we get one cave guarenteed safe before the storm hits. :D

[ofthewind]

don't worry tb.. i'll clear the cave of all skulls and bones in case you ever decide to drop in for a visit.. can't have a filthy cave, you know.. a cave girl's gotta maintain her reputation!!

[rohirrim TR]

wow so much has happened, cave girls, posting uniformity, all kinds of developments, this is a very interesting situation

[Acalewia]

LSP, how the heck did you come up with amazonian elf chicks?! sounds cool though. :p

[The last sane person]

I...Dont quite know...Actually I do, but I wont tell for a while! And Finrod, one style does work best...Its been a while since I've seen that particular style used.

[Grey_Wolf]

It appears that since Linaewen is not about, somebody will have to do the Part of the Korean Wife. So, please, until she shows up, would someone take on that role? :)

[Finrod Felagund]

I realized I'm not the Iraqi guy...but just he OTHER Drug addicted rockstar/actor. I got myself a little confused...still waiting for inspiration to drop into the actual thread.

Haven't RPG'd in a while.

[Udukhaturz]

It appears that since Linaewen is not about, somebody will have to do the Part of the Korean Wife. So, please, until she shows up, would someone take on that role? :)

Yes, it would be good if someone would take this part. Jin is having to do all the work of salvaging things from the ship. :)

[The last sane person]

Iraqi not Iraqui....Yes, the spelling defies all you know about English!

[trolls' bane]

don't worry tb.. i'll clear the cave of all skulls and bones in case you ever decide to drop in for a visit.. can't have a filthy cave, you know.. a cave girl's gotta maintain her reputation!!
And you won't try and eat me? I want a definite answer! :evil:
Hey, you're from Venus? Wow, a fellow non-Terran organism! Wow, so how's the heat wave? We still got the super cold wave. I take it swimming in pools of lead is not fun, but at least you can swim! ;)

[Rían]

I'm just not getting into this one - I've never seen the show, and I think I can only handle one rpg at a time ... you guys can kill my character off in a splendidly fantastic way, if you want to!

[Grey_Wolf]

Please don't leave. U can just take a short break can't u and then come back? :)

[The last sane person]

Pull a GW?

[Grey_Wolf]

Pull a GW?

Well, kind of. :D

[ofthewind]

if you'd care to look at my new post, you'll see i've got a new target now TB... and he's got such a healthy rue about him.. i just might spare you!! :rolleyes: sorry!! i come from the other side of Venus... the heavenly one so we don't really get any drastic temperature changes... plus, i am NOT and organism.. just a plain ol' advanced life form!! ;)
P.S: in case you ever feel like dropping by... we have heated pools all over the place.... too bad they're used for warming up our guests for the big *cookout*!!!!!!!!!!!

[trolls' bane]

There was something in my school paper on the series lost. It's only one sentence, but it says:
"What's up with the painfully slow unfolding plot of ABS's Lost?"

[Grey_Wolf]

Well, OUR LOST is a bit quÃ*cker, ain't it? :D

[trolls' bane]

I'll say. We "cut right to the chase." :D
(No pun intended.)

[rohirrim TR]

curub, the garth brooks thing was really funny, that post belongs in the hall of fame or something. :D :D :D

[Grey_Wolf]

On seeing LOST last evening I saw a new character which you might like.

Hotheaded Young Latin Woman, anyone?

[Butterbeer]

Pull a GW?

:D

classic ... heh shah, ever pop over to lyrds ...?

heh GW! bring back white patch and old grey to naz and kings!

i, too see lost on wednesdays .. but i missed it .. will see the repeat on sunday hopefully ....

I'll try to bring them back...:)

[Acalewia]

If seeing LOST is not a prerequestite (sp) I could be the hot headed Latino :D I'll call her Carmen.

[Grey_Wolf]

If seeing LOST is not a prerequestite (sp) I could be the hot headed Latino :D I'll call her Carmen.

Y'r welcome. This is the middle earth LOST so we wing it a bit. :D

Obnoxiously Cocky And Leader-Position-Grabbing Australian of the Remaining Twenty-Five, anyone? :D

[Grey_Wolf]

I think Leroy can be the above mentioned Australian. If that is hat you mean, TB?

[trolls' bane]

Oh, shoot! Is the Australian a bad guy? I didn't want to say anything like that. I jsut got Leroy off the top of my head.

[Grey_Wolf]

Oh, shoot! Is the Australian a bad guy? I didn't want to say anything like that. I jsut got Leroy off the top of my head.

It's quite ok. So perhaps we can give the Aussie another name. Could you think of something since OUR LEADER hasn't appeared yet SOMEBODY will have take charge and who better than - The Obnoxiously Cocky And Leader-Position-Grabbing Australian of the Remaining Twenty-Five

[trolls' bane]

Um...No ideas. I could just change the name of my Leroy, because I only mentioned it IC once.

[Acalewia]

I say, is this thread hibernating? :D :p

[Grey_Wolf]

I say, is this thread hibernating? :D :p

Indeed it is, as is Lyrd of the Ryngs. :)

[trolls' bane]

I ama wait'n. Me and the good Emperor seem to have been the most active RPGers up till we stopped.
