Okay then.

I'm posting this after some chats around and my other post where I went a bit insane on people.

Here's the deal. We all know that everyone else here can RP. We all know everyone else here wants to RP. Why are there no RP's?

'Cause we're all waiting around for someone else to tell us they want to RP. Well that's just silly. This isn't a high school dance, folks! No one is going to come to you and ask you for a dance. If you want to dance, you better get your ass on the dance floor. If you don't, you've got no one to blame but yourself!

This applies to me, too. If I want RP's, I can't just sit around and think RP's are gonna drop in my lap. None of you know what I'm up to over here, how are you supposed to know I want RP's? You can't know that, and I can't keep expecting you to.

Here's a few things I propose:

1. If you want an RP with someone's character, but you're having a hard time finding the balls to approach them on it, post a note here. Be like "Hey look, Frodo wants to talk to Arwen" or "Lothi really wants a chat with her dad" or "Aragorn's looking for his errand rider" or whatever. Then at least the ball is in someone else's court, yar?

2. Too many of us are scared to mess up someone else's rp plots by poking them for random RP's. To get around this, I suggest we all post some idea of where we're going with our characters. That way it's all out on the table and there'll be less conflicts and less reason to skip out on RPing with eachother.

We all want to RP. That's why we're here. I'll be the first to admit that I feel insecure and left out when no one pokes me for them. But I think I realised today that if I'm not poking anyone, they're feeling the same way I do.

And that just sucks.

Let's try and get over our fears and have some fun!

Essam is going to be the subject of some interesting rumors pretty soon that might call into question his ability to be knight commander, and that will recall his past as a prostitute before he joined the knights.

Erchirion...God only knows what the hell that man thinks he's doing. Somehow I've managed to turn out a knight again, though this one is definitely more um...more. :P I'm pretty sure at some point he's going to talk himself in trouble but I have no idea when that's going to be or what its going to be about and its more of a vague feeling at this point.

Frodo is hanging around Tirith, doing the writer thing. Incidentally, given the new plot circumstance, what happened in reguards to the scouring of the shire? If we ever get enough hobbits in game, I'd love to take that as something we could talk about or work with. I'm also interested in local shire politics though I have no idea how to work THAT in as of now.

Hirgon will be coming back to Tirith, walking back into his old life and resuming his duties. As this is a different starting point and he'll just be coming back, he's liable to be in various states of trauma and trying to work to ignore it which isn't healthy.

Theoden and Snowmane are dead dead dead also. They're coming back very shortly. I'd sort of hoped to have Theoden return to an empty Meduseld, walk in, attempt to take charge and get lots of weird reactions from whoever isn't in Tirith if that is okay with you and Eomer, Steph.

My NPCS...

Aráto has been promoted to a Captaincy in the Knighthood and is dealing with the issues presented therin. He's also going to have some interesting rumor plots to deal with soon. I've also pondered exploring his backstory a little, as outlined in some of the pre-reset chats with Essam where they spoke about his family, etc. I get the feeling he's still reeling from the deaths of several friends during the war, because he wasn't able to help them with the first aid skills he knows a little of. I don't know if this is going to come out or not, or rather if its going to come out with anyone but Essam whom he trusts for some strange twisted reason but its in the background anyway. I love this guy, can we tell? I'm about so close to making him an OC, I have a few other npcs I like a lot too though and want to give them all a chance to see who I like best. :P

Alagos, I imagine is in Tirith to help rebuild it. He's a bit of a renessaince man that way, and while he's more of an inventor and scientest than anything else, I get the impression he'd be a decent sort to have to order around in building projects. He still hasn't been free for very long and is prone to be jumpy with people in authority, though he's also known to be another of my guys with a mouth that has a mind of its own. He can pretty much be set to doing anything where he's needed, etc, whatever works best at any given time.

A few other NPCS are coming too and I can be talked into lots of them if anyone wants!
