Well, I'm interested if anyone else still is, but I've never played an RP before, so bear with me. Here I go...
Placed my land to the northwest of Lothlorien, on the other side of the Misty Mountains.
South Farthing
Location and Notable Places:
Located on the west side of the Misty Mountains, the South Farthing is a rich, fertile land populated by halflings, who, though small in stature, bear an incredible inner strength when it comes to it. While short of strength, halfings have incredible aim, and thus make very good archers. To the north is the East-West Road. The South Downs and a small mountain range create a barrier between the South Farthing and Desert Nation, with only one safe path from the barrow-wights. To the east is the plain at the foot of the Misty Mountains. To the west lies the ocean and beyond, accessed by the harbor at the Grey Havens. While there are minimal outer fortifications to the South Farthing, its defense is stoutly maintained by the hardy bounders, though they are rarely are needed as the SOuth Farthing is generally known as a land of peace.
Population
Approximately 10,000 halflings, consisting of:
250 calvary (on ponies, not full horses as only one halfling has ever been able to ride a full grown horse)
300 city guards
450 swords-halflings
1,000 bounders
3,000 archers
5,000 common halflings, who live normal lives, and throw a mean stone.
Currency
Gold is sometimes used, but within the South Farthing usually trade is prefered to currency.
Random
The halflings have long been isolated from the rest of the world and are largely unexposed to war and treachery, but as the years go on tension has grown on the borders. The bounders grow restless as they sense oncoming conflict, but they know not whence the feeling came or who to fear. Wierd happenings have begun acroos the land, along with the appearance of wolves and many strange folk. The halflings fear their isolation is ending, and they will soon be thrown into the rest of the world...

Whenever I'm reading a thread where mole posts I'm always looking over my shoulder to make sure my parents aren't coming...
I find it rather disturbing...

The Great Alliance / The Great City / What's your rank?
|
on: December 21, 2003, 05:04:16 AM
|
When I joined the alliance I had just started playing the game and was ranked just about as low as you could possibly be. A couple months later I'm ranked in the 400's so a little protection, a little clicking, and a little confidence goes a long way. And I'm still stuck in the dang 500s... |

Yay! I just saw it again! It's even better the second time...
Saruman is only in the extended edition, not the theatrical edition.

i haven't seen it but did they leave out the Scouring of the Shire like they said they would?
i think so. i read somewhere that the actor who plays saramon was cut out of the movie as well. Both are correct, but they had to just to squeeze everything else in. They barely fit it in the 3 hours and 20 minutes as it is. But I do know Saruman and some other material will be in the extended edition, but I think the scouring is gone permanently. Film is a different genre than books. Moviegoers tend to not stand for anything anticlimatic. Oh well. We still know it's there. |

Actually, I can't talk today. I'm just checking really quickly before school, and I have to leave for a final in a few minutes. Then I'm going to see ROTK (Yay!), so I won't be back till late. Maybe tomorrow?

Most likely. We just were wondering if there was a way to make it easier to edit without having to count rows and columns for an ArrayList.

Did u guys see the clip of the monkey at the end of the credits? My friends and I always stay through the credits (lame, I know) but then this clip came on afterwards, and we were the only ones left in the theatre. No one stays that long, so it's cool to talk about it as no one even knows it is there.

I relate, my friend can't go because he has wrestling, but he told me to go anyway, so I'm going with my Dad, who's been reading LOTR since the 70s.
Wow, expensive there. only $4.50 for a matinee here.

Does anybody else in here use JAVA? Me and 3 friends are creating our own RPG, and we are trying to decide how to create a map interface that is easily editable. Any ideas?
