Yah, trying to piece relations together was fun. Every time I added one person to my background I found I was creating two more. :)

It was fun though.

For a bit of a laugh, instead of giving you my descriptions of the various people in Jerran's life. . . I shall be giving you Jerran's descriptions :) If Jerran offends anyone, tough, he's pretty darn offensive. Nah, just kidding. If he offends, let me know and I'll tone him down.


Dad: Ah, dear old dad. . . I wonder sometimes how he ever landed such a saucy little wench as my mother. I suppose he's handsome enough, but a bit dour. Maybe it's his old age getting the better of him. Still, when I can be bothered to talk to him, he's usually a good source of information. He's been more places than most of us here, and unlike those nutty Peddlefeet. . foots. . . whatever, he spent his traveling days visiting cities and castles instead of wandering around in some muck filled swamp somewhere.

Mom: Mom is where I get my devastatingly good looks. She may be past her prime, but she still turns the heads of all the old farts sitting around the village. She's got a good mind on her shoulders too, which worries me sometimes. I think she knows more than she lets on. . .

Milo: My younger (and only, thank goodness) brother. He's a shy, serious and above all BORING little twit. Still, I suppose I shouldn't complain too much. I mean, if it wasn't for him I'd still be dragged along on all those dull trading trips. I keep hoping that he'll change for the better and loosen up a bit. If you're quiet about it, I'll let you in on a little secret. I actually love my little brother, but keep it quiet. It broke my heart to see those sappy puppy dog eyes following Molle around all the time, so I let myself get "caught" walking out with Sif. I had set Milo up to be around to comfort the heart broken Slipfiddle, but he totally spaced on oportunity. Still, I maintain my hope for him yet.

Molle Slipfiddle: It was fun while it lasted, and she is definately my "type". (Here Jerran pauses to make the curvy woman silhouette with his hands) She had a huge crush on me, and I did my best to give her a taste of "Jerran style loving", but it was never going to last. If she ever looked up from the boys flirting with her at the Silver Horn, she might just catch a glimpse of Milo watching her, and I think that would be the best thing all round.

Sif Peddlefoot: Well, they always say the Peddlefoots are an "adventurous" family. *nudge, nudge, wink, wink* Very nice too look at, but not too bright. Still, she'll be fun for a while.

Bubbles Greenbottle: My dear, sweet Bubbles. Y'know that girl just can't get enough of me. The tankards are just an act you see. Once, when he had managed to tear his eyes away from Molle, Milo asked me why I kept pushing her so hard when it always ended up with broken crockery and painful bruises. That's when, in an inspired moment of brotherly affection, I let him in to my secret to women. 'Women', I said, 'are like flowers.' I managed to avoid any dirty comments about spreading petals, for which I was very proud of myself, but he probably wouldn't have gotten it anyways. Now where was I? . . . Bubbles. . . tankards. . . women. . . flowers. . . right. 'Women are like flowers. Each one is different and beautiful in her own way. You can't assume what works for one woman will work with another. Now, early on, I mistook Bubbles' customary affability for something a bit more, and I made a perhaps slightly off color suggestion. That was the first time I was at the receiving end of her wrath. But she is lovely when she's angry. Nowadays I know her well enough to know when I'm getting dangerously close to being hit, but I don't stop myself. I personally think she enjoys breaking tankards over my head. And the secret is to give women what they want.' She'll come around eventually. . .

Kwinn Baublebuck: A good friend, and a good companion. I always enjoy having him around for a laugh. And besides, he makes me look good.

Alton Highlea: Ugh, what a little pest. I always get the feeling that he's watching me. Why does he feel that my personal. . . indiscretions are any of his business. I suppose he's likeable enough when you get down to it, but his moral highground is vastly irritating. He's younger than any of us, but acts like a crotchety old man sometimes.

Ringly Softpetal: I never really saw much of this guy. I suppose he's always been around, but he never really seemed to like any of the rest of us. Still, smart as a whip if you spend the time to talk to him. I just never seem to find the time. . . I mean, it's not like he's female or anything, so I can always find someone a little more interesting.

Kiylea Tangleweb: Another one who's never around. I suppose if she'd been around the village much, I would have made my move and moved on by now. But as she's always out and about, I never bothered. Now I have more interesting prospects on my plate. Maybe some other time.

Jyn Peddlefoot: Meh, if you've had one Peddlefoot, you've had them all. I think I'll stick with Sif. Never really talked to her much, never really wanted to. She seems a bit uppity sometimes as well.

Eddie Mossback: Slightly creepy little kid, really. Always whispering to other people and then clamming up when I come into view. I remember his brother, a grumpy guy if I ever saw one. Now Eddie seems to be shaping up as his own little anti-socialite. Mom and I have to keep a close eye on him whenever he's in the store. Whenever his eyes catch mine, he seems to panic. I think he's a little afraid of me, but perhaps that's for the best.

Logeanisty A. Logfellar: Strange kid. I've caught him trying to nick stuff from the store on numerous occasions, but he always laughs it off and hands the item back to me along with a couple of other things that he'd managed to pocket without me noticing. I don't really know what's up with him. . . or his name. Freaky.




hmmm. . . a lot of typing, and a lot of reading. I enjoyed it though, hopefully the rest of you will too.

LOL! I love it. I did soemthing like this with Bubbles and was going to suggest whoever gets picked for the game do the same. Great job!
 

We have now created 50 citizens of Amblestock. :) There are 47 Halflings and 3 Pets. If I have missed anyone from the list let me know.

Notable Persons

Mero Brandworthy: The constable of the town, he trains the citizen militia and helps mediate any disputes. He is the son of Alton.

Clara Wanebur: A young woman who has come to be known as a prodigious healer and herbalist. She can often be found at her house off near the Silvergreen forest.

Evan Slipfiddle: The old man of the hour. Or so they say, Evan is a master storyteller and fiddler, and boy can he dance a jig. Often providing entertainment at the Silver Horn Tavern, which he owns, although few notice that fact.

Coyo Durgen: A hunter and leatherworker, Coyo travels with a massive wolf-hound named Clip. Coyo leads small hunting parties during the winter when the lake is frozen over, but is more often found with Clara up at her house.

Wellsly Ironspoke: When someone has an odd question need answering, a riddle need solving, or some question of antiquity, they go to Wellsly. He lives alone near the western edge of the village, studying his arcane lore quietly.

Veryl Tillbough: The only metalworker in town, Veryl is the only surviving member of the Tillbough family, her parents and brothers killed in a tragic fire which engulfed the smithy and their home. She is a tough one, sharp of mind and strong of body.

Alton Brandworthy: The resident priest of Yondalla, Alton is the head of the council of elders. Nearing his one-hundred-and-eightieth year, he is the eldest and wisest member in the community.

:p That's too funny..

Now why didn't Ringly think of that first? Well of course. He doesn't know anyone very well, and he's too busy reading Jane Fausten's Cents and Cent's Ability

On a more serious note, is the game suspended for 2 to 4 days (to to server reconfiguration) or have I misunderstood the message? If I am correct, will you be emailing us to tell us whether we made it or not?

System Notice said:
Some forums will be closed to posting during that time (including but not limited to all play by post games).
Now, does that just include the games or will it include discussions like this one? If these posts are included, no problems. If not, we really should suspend posting until the new system is in place.

The reason: All this stuff is just too good to run the risk of losing it!!!!!!

'Nock
 

I saved mine, just in case. But my impression is that all this stuff will stay, and the boards will shut down in a little under two hours. Then they will come back online, but for the next two to four days, all posts are only temporary.
 

If I've understood correctly, the data will be transferred to the new server at midnight. The process will take a lil while, and after that they will relaunch the OLD server, while they spend 2-4 days configuring the new. After they are done configuring, they will launch the NEW server, with threads that are 4 days old.

It doesn't matter whether they actually close this thread or not. The posts in the next 2-4 days will be lost anyway.

Of course, I may be totally off...

O MAN I CAN"T WAIT FOR THE NEW SERVER :\
