Night 13

As execution ended, everyone started to head towards bed, when suddenly, one person stood up on top of a rock and called their attention. The person was quite short and relatively old.
"Please, everyone, wait. I have something to say," the speaker announced. Everyone stopped and turned around to listen.
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve," he began, looking around the small group. "However, I feel like I should share this time with you, evil or innocent. The world is changing quite drastically, and so few of you left understand the culture of my people. Hobbits are simple, happy people. We seek peace and, for the most part, a carefree, happy people. Our homes are cozy and snug, and usually filled with relatives, although if I ever see the Sackville-Bagginses in my home...anyways. There isn't much more that we spend time with than food. Days are spent growing food and eating food - after all, there is not much better, excepting of course a good party. I held one not so long ago for myself, as is the tradition of my peoples. Gave out a fair number of pretty gifts, too! There was nothing like it! My dear friend Gandalf even brought along some fireworks for show! Now that was something! Gandalf's fireworks are by far more magnificent than anything else we have seen! Of course, he is known as a disturber of the peace because of the adventure he took me on, but the young ones still look forward to his comings.
Now, where was I? Oh, yes. Most hobbits think of little more than food. After all, with 6 meals a day, where can you go wrong? First there's breakfast, then elevenses, luncheon, tea, dinner then supper. And what of supper without some ale? What a jolly time meals are!
I personally would prefer to spend my days writing about my adventures and composing songs than sitting here in the midst of danger. Although, does anyone have some Longbottom Leaf? I could use a good smoke right now. Longbottom Leaf is a Shire specialty, you know. It was first grown in the Shire, and as far as I've ever heard tell, ONLY grows in the Shire. You don't find anything better to smoke, either! It's shipped out of the Shire, even, for others to enjoy! Now...where did my pipe go? Aha. Here it is!
Alas, there is so much to tell and so little time. We hobbits generally have few conflicts - we are an easy-going bunch, like I said before, much more interested in food than fighting. There's nothing like some good taters or some bread, joined with some ale and then a good smoke afterward...
I have met Elves, Dwarfs, Men, Trolls, and even a dragon. Nasty things, trolls. The only time they're worth being around is when they are rock solid. Hah! Did I ever tell you the story about the three trolls I came across during my adventure! Surely I have...no? Well. It all started..."
One by one, the listeners sat down as their feet grew tired. Eventually, they propped themselves against rocks, or laid down on the ground. Slowly but surely, they dozed off, lured into a sleeping state by the sound of the speaker's voice. By the time the first bits of dawn crept over the horizon, everyone seemed almost frozen in place, as if they too had turned to stone.
"...and by that point, I was just glad to be home. Dear me, is it morning already? I'm afraid I quite lost track of the time..."
The speaker quickly stepped down from the rock, grabbed a blanket, and curled up for a quick nap.

There were no attacks, as all the attackers were lulled to sleep by a rather long babbling speech.

Day 14 begins.

HAHAHAHA. Bilbo Baggins...! <3 I love that quote. "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." Favorite part in the whole series. XD

So who's next? Who do we think is evil?

Re: WW36: Battle for Middle-Earth Game Thread

Thu Nov 13, 2008 7:23 am

The only thing I can think of is Rachel, for a missing attack the night she was disabled way back when.

Haha. Bilbo Baggins. What fun.

i'm not evil, and happy to role trade with you if you wish, you just need to ask.

is there anyone whose role isn't known? that logic worked on DM, it might continue to work...

The oranges haven't been defeated yet? Woe betides me. :(

Well, DM was second in command to the witch king - so I'm guessing whoever is in charge of their lists isn't too reliable.

Vote: Ange
Vote: Chipper


Nobody seems to know anything of them, and they're pretty inactive. :)

Ok, I'm going to bed now, and in the morning I'm going to get my wisdom teeth out (under general anaesthetic, eek!), so I dont know when I'll be online again, but chances are very high that it won't be before execution tomorrow.

I have no idea who to vote for, I'm SO confused right now!!!

I have said that I will tell anyone my role that asks for it, but obviously I won't be around to do that for at least the next day, but should you wish to know my role I have shared it with Nikita and Wind. Anyway, it would be really mean to vote off someone that's in surgery and under anaesthetic and in pain and what not.

move: the shire

Re: WW36: Battle for Middle-Earth Game Thread

Thu Nov 13, 2008 4:22 pm

Er, inactive? :P I make a post a day, thankyouverymuch. I've also PMed a few people regarding my role. I'll PM you too.

Also...the orange team isn't defeated yet?! Is there another of the evil-wizard type we could be missing? I haven't read enough of the books to know of another possible character for that team. Ideas?

Location: Bree

Votes later before I have to leave for a crazy long shift at work. Darn retail holiday hours.

I was hoping the oranges would have been defeated by now, too.
But Ammer! My heart. It is broken :(

Vote: Rachel
Vote: Miyu
Move to: Lorien


The dreamer sends his regards and says that both Rachel and Miyu have been dreamed of as evil.

Re: WW36: Battle for Middle-Earth Game Thread

Thu Nov 13, 2008 4:59 pm

Most excellent:

Vote: Rachel
Vote: Miyu
Movement: stay the same


I might not be on till much later, so if things change and my vote doesn't, that's why. I'll try to check again before execution.
