Okay, claification time.
While some of you seemed excited to journey into the lands beyond that easternmost Sea on Tolkien's Middle-Earth map (go look in your copies of LotR; it's called the Sea of Rhun), many more of you sent PMs to the mod account saying that you think the idea stinks, you were disappointed, you wanted to see the Ring destroyed, or that you wanted to explore the MIddle-Earth you READ about.
So the natural conclusion from this was to divide the RPG up so that everyone could have what he/she liked best. One RPG for the slow-paced RPGers.
A second RPG for those who want to do the quest we came up with, and go exploring beyond the edges of the maps Tolkien drew.
A third RPG (this one), remaining open for those of you who thought the other RPG idea (traveling East) is/was awful.

***You may join one, two, OR three of these RPGs

***This RPG, the third one, could either be about the RIng getting destroyed or whatever you make of it. That's why as those traveling East left to prepare for their journey Elrond turned to everyone else and re-opened council
***To find what you want to do, go ahead and debate back and forth what you must do on here. Remember, post limit is removed.

Okay, hope y'all understand better. If y'all are still confused, just say so!

Wait wait, we can join all three? Won't that be kind of confusing? Because then we are technically in three places at once...

_________________

But it's three seperate RPGs so technically your not in three places at once.

(But this story splits two ways, so no, it isn't seperate in my opinion.... )

Thank you for five-plus wonderful years of obsession, friendship and fun

You have a point, Silmarwen.

Riniel, the only instruction is for everyone to decide what they want to do with the RPG that is given to them! (i.e. what's the next movie, or do we just open up the gates and see where the road takes everyone? )

[Ahh, ok that clears things up for me. Many thanks mods. Seeing as it is ok if I join more than one of the RPG's, that's what I'll do. Assuming no one else has any objections]

[Not I....in fact, I'll likely do the same thing.]

After listening to FaZ, she knew both of the guys wanted to stay. "Very well, I will remain here, as long as Gwenneth wishes to join us."

[So, what are we doing guys?Do you want to go with the ring, or do our own journey? I'm good with either.]

Thanks Haldir and Gil!
"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

[Ok, time to get the chance to meet some of you guys]

Darrell arrived at the council in time to hear Elrond's dismissal of what looked to be a number of people similar to himself, although many were, like him, wearing the garb of various races from Middle-earth.

He stood quietly nearby a group of them who seemed to know each other quite well, listening their conversation, but not saying anything himself, being a naturally quiet person who is shy with strangers.

I guess these are the 'others' the eagle spoke of. I wonder why they are all here. I wonder why we are all in Middle-earth at all, never mind gathered together like this...

[I agree with Ellie and Luth. I'd really like to ake our own journey, but I do want to be a part of some of the events. That'd be pretty cool... ]

Larael waited patiently alongside her companions, wondering what path they would choose. Where ever they went, she would most likely follow close behind.

Melda listened to all of them talking from a shaded spot behind one of the graceful pillars that framed the doorway of the Council room. She watched the words she'd read so many times over spoken by a real Elrond and wondered...what would it be like to go on the Ring Quest...how would it feel to meet all the people that she'd only met in books? Mel smiled to herself. I hope I have a chance to find out...

Lhunardaien stood in silence in front of her seat. She didn't know any of these people, and Nocturne had left the room, so she also didn't have someone to speak with. But when she was staying there, she listened in silence to the other people who seemed to be from her own world...

[Okay, if we are allowed to be in more than one RP, I'll just continue from where I left off]

Elenriel sat where she was a bit torn. Part of her wanted to explore the uncharted lands with the others, but the other wanted to remain to meet the those she thought only to be legends. In the end, she decided to remain at the council and could see others had the same idea. She cast glances around the room a bit shyly, assuming these were also members of A-U, though she had met none in person before.

Lhunardaien saw a girl, the one who had been with Legolas, looking around the Council a bit shy, and she decided to talk to her.
' Hey, I am Lhunardaien, from the A-U forum. Am I right when I think you are from the forum as well?' Lhun asked the girl.

Elenriel gave Lhun a warm smile. "So you're Lhun." she exclaimed excitingly. "I'm Elenriel, from the forum as well. It's so nice to meet you in person!" she replied.
