A Prancing Pony Primer -- Please Read Before Participating

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hail, members of "The Prancing Pony"!!

We shall be your hostesses, Exabyte, Tassie, and yours truly...I'm dead...but soon to be known again as shadowy_blue.

Borrowed and Re-edited from Tassie's recent post:

This is in no way related to an RPG. It is an Inter-House Challenge, where each inn -- "The White Horse Inn", "The Green Dragon", and "The Prancing Pony", will each take turns in proposing new LotR-related challenges, which will be posted in the Official Inter-House Challenge Thread.
The winner of the last challenge will be in charge of proposing the next challenge.

The "inn" threads, like this one, are only for the members of the respective inns to post in to discuss and plan the challenges. The Inter- House Challenge Thread is strictly for challenge posting, points' status, and scoring schemes. Full rules for the I-H thread will be included in the thread itself.

ONLY the "prefects" of each house are allowed to post in the other "House" threads. Otherwise, points will be deducted.

Members will be sorted randomly, unlike on the Harry Potter forum where new members are required to answer some sorting questions. If you want to be sorted into the LotR I-H game, you can PM either Exa, Tassie, or me.

Each inn elects a prefect. Tassie, Exa, and I are the "Heads" of the I-H on this forum. ONLY prefects are permitted to post in EVERY House thread. Points will be deducted for unnecessary posting in other House Threads.

For each challenge, one prefect from each house is in charge of the judging-- however, you judge all the houses except yours. So be fair!!

The Tig Party is the ONLY thread, concerning this game, where ALL members of EACH house can discuss the I-H.


I hope I covered up pretty much everything. If you have any questions, just PM Exa, Tassie, or yours truly. Don't worry, we won't eat 'ya!


Enjoy!

Here's a list of ppl who should be here:

Exabyte- The Prancing Pony
Nienna/ Ying- The Prancing Pony
Discos- The Prancing Pony
Agent Elrond- The Prancing Pony

Do you already want to start voting for a prefect? Or wait until there are more members?

Does anyone have an idea for the crest?

I say wait until we get some more memebers. We're still a fledgling inn.

Ok, good

The first challenge -

sig? I'm no good w/ sigs. where's TOH when you need him, lol

well, I say we find a cool pic of a horse and build up from there

The PP in the film:
http://www.tuckborough.net/images/prancingponysign.jpg


I dont have any prancing ponies here on my PC... Il look for some... so far, I have only horses (searched them for my arroch sig ) -- like this one
but they cant really be used for a crest il try to find some better ones

looks cool. wish it was a little brighter. maybe photoshop?

Whoa I never knew how difficult it was to find a picture of a prancing horse *still searching*

Dun Dun Duuuuun


well...its original at least

Its original, its creative and the clarity is also brilliant

thumbsup


btw --- has nothing to do with the challenge, but does somebody have photoshop and could mirror the pic with the red background for me so that the horse looks in the other direction?

it was a joke



and yes- i can

But it's still brilliant I love it we should make something like that its damn hard to find a good pic of a prancing pony


thx

Hi guys,

so I am in the Prancing Pony......nice

Aiya, Discos

all the other troublemakers are in green dragon

but i figured me and you could out-do all of them for trouble

ah then its settled,

so the general jist of this stuff is once task per week?

its like big brother
last year
where they werent allowed to talk to the other half

awesome!

Discos - we're the good ones

Not necessarily, some challenges may take longer, some shorter; in HP for example we have several weeks for this one.

Also depends on the the punctuality of the houses

yep, we're good

angel_not

...whoopsies

so we have to appoint a prefect ya say, I thought it was Exa

I say we give Discos the Team fund and he will go and buy cheap alchahol,

Discos - you guys can watch me drink it though

Fools.....

Palpatine? that you?

Your over-confidence is your weakness!

I say you give discos the team fund,

which he will then spend on burglar equipment.
we then break into the other two inns and steal all their alcohol
and all their money
we then all get drunk, and i spend the money on a small padded fighting arena and large padded sticks
and we do battle

so which house are you in monty?

He is in the White Horse

Maybe we should stop posting in the other inn threads now as most people seem to know now which house they are in

monty-python-python-snake-snake-anaconda-anaconda-film i watched last night- last night- dreamt i was being chased by a giant snake- went into my aunties-aunty-women who used to take me to clubs when i was 6-club-nighclub-discos-disco-discos-fool-radagast-saruman-gandalf-ian mckellen-x-men-magneto-prison-jabbas prison-luke was in it-luke is vaders son-vader-palpatine-monty!


Whooot what a link!

you suck....

mmm......av already got done in for thieving drink from places, good job it wasnt me

Good morning?

Btw,
should we elect an innkeeper now or wait for more members?

inn keeper

I say we appont person with most alchahol experience

Discos -

I say we wait for more members

good idea,

once there is a good few members should we perhaps put a poll up with people who have been nominatedby someone else?

Discos - sounds fair enough to be if you are searching dor democracy

I dont think it should be necessary to be nominated by others - selfnomination rulez ... theoretically nomination wouldnt even be necessary, you can just vote for the member you want as long as they agree... at least in HP it worked like that (well in most houses - all except for Ravenclaw to be exact ).

you don't have to worry about being nominated Archy, everyone loves ya tbh

I have been on the HP forum a total of twice

I cant be nominated anyways as Im the head of the inn

hi guys...i'm def in...

just tell me what to do...
so far I figured out that we go to inns and have lots of fun....while doing strange challenges IN the inn....right?

i'm wit s-b....

Hey i say we have an innkeeper whos name fits the role

I would also like to add that sometime tonight i am able to change my name

J/k

Your faith in your friends is yours!

*say 'You want this?..yes, strike me down, and then your transformaton to the dark side will be complete!'*


then i get to completely make a fool of you and say 'No!'

You want this? *looks at lightsaber*
...Yes, strike me down, and then your transformaton to the dark side will be complete!

No! *looks back out of the window*

Well screw you too!
Kill him Vader!!
*Luke is killed...the end*

I really dont want to interrupt you... but... isnt this the wrong inn, Montross?

Uh...no...
*runs away and hides from the nazgul*

*blocks door*

If you do not stay, you will met your destiny!

you don't have to go home pal. but ya cant stay here!

Yeah he can

its a saying I heard on a pub on a cartoon once....

Discos - Innkeeper sounds like a good titles for me

Prancing Pony rules all

First post in this thread Forgive the newbieness

That's OK

are there any specific requirements for the sig?

it relate to PP and follow KMC rules (500 by 200 pixels and 30K)

okie *works on sig*

Exabyte has one alread, but you can make your own

I know, I just love my photoshop

newbieness....wash your shame off

Mine is supposed to be a personal sig and has little to do with the PP

Welcome, Vingilot

is Ving - Ying

it said former username: Niennea, but wasnt she also called the "Ying"

Yesh Ving=Ying

~ her profile only says "Nienna" as she had her name changed from Ying to Nienna before we got the possibility to do so ourselves in the profile; and when Raz changes names, it isnt displayed

Prancing Pony none the less

also it was very funny how I simply got appointed to this house.....didnt I get a say where i was going

I got a say in where i went
i was a green dragon
but the shame of being in the same house as Spearhead overwhelmed me so i had to escape

quite silent in here

i hav to say i think the white horse in mite win..i like one of theirs....i'l shut up now....

Then we should QUICKLY choose our entries; we can only submit two.

i like yours

Could the creators please re-post their sigs here so that we can choose two of them??

Whens the challenge where we all go into the maze and have to fight weird creatures to get the cup
therefore diminishing any real point of the first two tasks because even if i have the most points i dont win because harry got to the cup first....?

perfect


Weren't there several more entries? By you and Discos?

I lost the other

I think we should use discos's one as one of them... lol it was great

the points for creativity will go to us anyway...

i think we should use mine as well

it does involve most members

heres mine

it was only a page back exa

aah yes i just saw exas aswell though

so...we have three and we must eliminate one.

Big Bro....The Innkeeper would like the Tenants to gather on the sofa and make their nominations!

*is still unhappy about the hand holding*
