Ok...SO i've been droped into middle earth...I'm assuming the 3rd age because you said dropped in 'LOTR'.
well...I know what I would do because I have been there😉
yes, a long time ago. when I was younger. Someone visited me and took me with him, we flew across the earth, untill the surface changed, and the glassy sea shone, and the stars whent out...then shone brighter...and I was there...
and I was alone.
when the sun first rose, I was awestruck by the beauty of it all...
I naturally walked the paths of mirkwood, saw the lonely mountain, and whent to see if tom was still in the forest...he was...and I had a long conversation with him, we talked about...about...I can't seem to remember, but we talked for so long...and the last thing I remember, was him saying:"dig deep- eat earth..." or something...I must have fallen asleep with his singing...and now I can't recall anything of all the questions I asked him...
I have never felt so distant from my home, but in a way it did seem like my home...just so much older, and more sad...but also full of joy and happiness in its own way...I didn't think about the things I think of now...and if I wasn't carefull, it was easy to forget about my world...but I never forgot...
Taken in by a kind family, I tried to explain my strange clothing, and speaking with them was difficult...the speech they knew was like nothing I never heard...sort of like anglo=saxon, but I found the accents stronger, and more direct...I managed to pick out a few words...:
istari...something about the sky...and me...
I can only wonder what they thought of me, and if they were as fasinated about me, as I was with them...
The war.
as far as I could tell, I had arived when the ring was still in possesion of frodo, and he was probably still in the fellowship...I tried to track them down, but they were to clever. Covering up there tracks and such.
I found myself not wanting to leave. Not at all, and when the 'visitor' arived he said:
"it is time"
I couldn't leave not yet, I ran, I ran over fields, and streams, and the stars began to dim, and it grew very dark, so dark I was running so wild, and I couldn't tell if my eyes were open or not...the air pushing the perspiration away from my face, and the breeze growing stronger with each stride, so dark now...I collapsed on the grown clutching the grass...in my hands..I didn't want to let go, but I had to...I had to let go of what I had...and return back to my world, at least for a time, and confront my fears...I had to risk everything and go back, I had to leave all this behind...perhaps for a beter life, on the other side...I would learn from my experiences and move on with my life...and take every risk head on, and with determination, always having my eyes set on the higher things...the things that mater so much, and the things that drive me to do all that I ...do. So I got up...and left...and returned home...and did exactly that...the journey helped me. And I'm not afraid anymore, of what might happen to me...i'm not going to fall, but if I do, it will soon pass...and I'll get up again and keep going...untill I reach my goal...'cause here I'm not alone.

if I was in M:E I would probably visit arwen...and tell her not to die...
and on top of my firsting, i third that!!!
such progress...
i had converted like 80% of middle earth into wraiths!!!
Ush, is such a bully! we were having fun...
and for the record:
*stab, stab, stab* followed by a few jokes does not constitute as real roll playing therefore negating the need to move it...
but i'll leave it at that for now...
it would just be cheap to try and resurect it now... it is lost forever, as a part to would have lost too much momentum to truly work...

He closed almost everythread I started or enjoyed...
they were all LOTR related, and we had this "role playing" thread that had no, stats, or quests, it was just a comedy thread were we all picked a character and just declared what we were doing...
Ush read the title and moved it, and everytimed I explained it to him he was like: "not interested, read the rules, closing thread!!!"
such a geek!

GRRR>> thats what he said to me!
I wrote a long polite pm to him, explaining myself, but he wouldn't listen...❌ and now countless innocents are paying the price for his own insanity🙁
and your right about reserecting it! it wouldn't have any momentum...maybee I'll try again in the nearby future...or not..

Sorry folks, but the rules are clearly posted and based on experience. And they still apply now. The place for that sort of creative discourse is not in the movie/book discussion area.And it was not just me- every mod who looked at that thread agreed.
Nor is this the place for these kind of comments. Please read "Storm's" rules and you will see that any off topics must be limited to the Tig Party.
Too many threads have been closed due to people posting off topic comments.
Please don't be part of the problem !!!
If I were dropped in LOTR, my first task would be to hook up with Aragorn and have him teach me all the learnings of becoming a Ranger. I would ask him to invite me to Rivendell so that I could meet Elrond and learn his methods of healing.
After that I would travel the countryside, coming to a rest in Rohan where I would build a house and raise a family.
Quit bad-mouthing Ush you guys. That's uncalled for and in poor taste. He was just doing his job. Roleplaying threads, no matter how silly or funny they were meant to be, go in the Roleplaying forum. The LOTR's forum is for movie/book talk only.
I suggest everyone move on and get over it. Don't make me close this thread because of a few bitter, sour apples in it.
