Randel waves to the Wise-yet-non-Noldo Elf o OOC Spam, Cuardin.
Gumbart wants to see more OOC logs.
Randel too!
Cuardin says, "Hard to edit..."
Gumbart solemnly says, "In Cuardin we trust."
Cuardin says, "For I am he who has been, he who is, and
he who allways will be"
Khazamr is in the +oldbies! "Oh, heck... I guess I'll
have to go buy myself a cane..."
Randel waits for Cuardin to finish the sentence.
"always be what? Pointy-eared?" ;)
Cuardin begins to sing "I will allways be, hoping, hoping...."
Randel says, "Think long term and get a wheelchair instead, Khazamr."
Khazamr cackles and his false teeth fall out. "Ow, wef, Iww wo waw."

Cuardin recomends the new mithril-2000 teeth, they
never fall out, and you are never robbed, they have to kill you to get to the
teeth..
Gumbart guesses that Cuardin will always be old, since
he's in +oldbies, too!
Cuardin says, "I don't see that as a problem, since I
am more newbie thatn oldbie..."
Gumbart does some math in his head, "That would only
work if there were max. 28 bies all in all. For certain definitions of `work'."
Cuardin decides to womp Gumarts sense of math to Mordor and beyond...
Randel stirs to life. "Did I hear 'Whomp'?"
Cuardin says, "You shure did.."
Randel fingers her brand-new bronze halibut, smiling happily.
Gumbart is hit, hard. "Uh. Oh. And I and I have fun."
Cuardin eyes the bronze halibut suspiciously...
Gumbart is fascinated by the shining object in Randel's hands.
Randel quotes Gandelf... ""The treacherous are ever distrustful.""
Randel says, "uh, Gandalf"
Cuardin doubts Gandalf ever said that
Gumbart says, "Nono, Randman, it's OK."
Randel says, "yeah? go check it up."
Gumbart says, "He said to Gimli?"
Cuardin says, "When and about what does he say it?"
Cuardin says, "BTW, I am combat registered now.."
Gumbart says, "We don't hit weak old elves!"
Randel can't recall offhand. "but sure as eggses are
eggses, he said it!"
Gumbart says, "Maybe to Saruman?"
Gumbart says, "He didn't say it in Fangorn, I just checked."
Cuardin says, "Well, If the lady insists. ANd I am not
week-old, I have only been registered for 4 days..."
Randel puts her beautiful Shining One Fish away, "You
can't have my precioussss, Gummie."
Randel laffs, Cuardin.
Cuardin says, "Why hasn't anyone put op the books on
Internet with a searchengine so you can find these things..."
Gumbart says, "I HAVE IT!"
Cuardin says, "Too bad my practice on the Imladris
archery range does not count in battle. There I can put 3 bullseyes in 5 shots
without problem"
Cuardin says, "Where Gumbart?"
Randel hrmms. "it's included in the quotations list of Rolozo Tolkien"
Gumbart quotes, "The treacherous are ever distrustful,"
answered Gandalf wearily.
Gaskin says, "When does the copyright run out on LoTR?
Doesn't it become public domain after fifty years?"
Randel yays. "Truly I am vindicated."
Gumbart says, "p. 606, chapter X, The Voice of Saruman."
Gumbart says, "For books its 75 years, I think."
Cuardin starts to count on his fingers...
Gaskin ohs.
Cuardin says, "We still don't know why and to who he says it..."
Gumbart says, "He says it to Saruman when Saruman
doesn't want to come out of Orthanc!"
Gumbart says, "What's this quotations list of Rolozo Tolkien,
Randman?"
Cuardin says, "OK, but it sounds sort of lame.."
Randel says, ""no living man am I, Gummie."
Gumbart says, "That's because Gandelf didn't have a halibutt!"
Gumbart laughs.
Cuardin says, "How do you know he did not have a halibut?"
Gumbart says, "Because he has a staff in his hands, and
since he only has two hands..."
Gumbart says, "Maybe Gandalf is an arachnidae?"
Cuardin says, "Maybe he had one in his closet"
Gumbart says, "Maybe his horse was not from Rohan but a
Halibut from Bree?"
Randel frowns. You can't ride a Halibut on land.
Cuardin agrees
Randel says, "Rolozo Tolk's a nifty site at
http://godzilla.eecs.berkeley.edu/rolozo/, Gummie."
Randel says, "Ah, yes. I see you're right Gumbart.
Halibuts can be muddy & flat, mud flats are dark, shadows are dark. Halibuts
are fish, fish have scales, scales have order, orders can be faxed. So
Gandalf's mount _was_ a halibut names Shadowfax."
Gumbart cheers Randel!
Gumbart defends Randel, "Cuardin, thou old fart, beware
before thou artst challenged by thine honour in arena #1!"
Randel lols.
Randel tries to quote Galadhriel, but her memory kinda
fails her, "let it not be said that dwarfs are ... are..." d'you have the books
with you, Gum?
Gumbart says, "I brought to my office in order to
impress bearded beauties. You don't qualify, but I'll help you anyway."
Gumbart says, "brought /them/ to my office"
Randel is glad she doesn't qualify, anyway. "it's after
Gim's hirsute request."
Gumbart quotes, "Let none say again that Dwarves are
grasping and ungracious!" -- was that what you were looking for?
Randel says, "shaving one's legs are bad enough."
Randel says, "yes, that's it. thanks Gumbart!"
Randel proclaims, "Let none say again that Dwarves are
grasping and ungracious!"
Gumbart says, "lol!"
Randel peers at Cuardin, who has dozed off.
Gumbart quotes some more, "'It is said that the skill
of the Dwarves is in their hands rather than in their tongues,' she said. Let
that be a measure of my manual skills."
Randel says, "wow, how d'you use your tongue to fashion metal?"
Gumbart breaks down and cries, "Why is everybody smarter than I am??"
Randel says, "The wise speak only of what they know,
Gumbart son of Gumboot."
Cuardin decides that maybe it is gumbart who has had
too much sun... then dozes off again...
Randel does not continue to quote the part "A witless
worm have you become, etc." out of the kindness of her heart.
Smoke pours from Mt. Doom as the Dark One's evil sorcery lags the game.
The smoke clears as good triumphs and the database saves.
Randel says, "It is time to get up. It is half past
four and very foggy."
Gumbart, son of Gomin, son of Oibart, says, "I guess
you are just full of envy because I am a beautiful dwarf while you are a poor
beardless-one with hairy feet."
Randel says, "haw haw, no furry-foot am I, either."
Gumbart quotes, "Dawn is not far off, ... but dawn will
not help us, I fear."

Gumbart apologizes profusely, "I always thought you
were a hobbitsen, dear Randel."
Randel says, "that's Ok, Gummie dear. It's no great
insult. after all Tolk himself was "in fact a Hobbit, in all but size""
Randel jabs Cuardin with a shish kebab. "hey, wake up!
you're supposed to be logging this!"
Gumbart quotes, "And now at last it comes. You will
give me the Ring freely!"
Cuardin says, "Chill, my client is logging this, not I..."
The sun flashes brightly on the horizon. Night gives way to morning.
Randel says, "Truly, you shall have it."
Randel gives Gumbart the Ringworm.
Cuardin eyes the ringworm suspiciously
Gumbart takes out his scalpel and starts dissecting the
worm. After a few seconds he picks out a little metal thingy. He examines it
under his looking glass. He puts it on his projector and projects the image on
the walls of the public channel. It reads, "Ringworm #17, Made by Randel."
Randel nods to Cuardin. "oh, ok. in fact a Hobbit, in
all but size"Sleep again and do not be afraid!"
Randel says, "oops"
Randel nods to Cuardin. "Oh, OK. "Sleep again and do not be afraid!"
Randel says, "Nay, Ringworm was wrought by Morgoth. I
was merely the Sole Importer."
Randel says, "Anyway it's yours now."
Randel declares Gumbart Lord of the Ringworm!
Brican has connected.
Gumbart, Lord of Ringworms, Master of Dissection,
Hygiene Hero of Eriador, proclaims Randel to be the Vice-Lord of Ringworms,
Keeper of Maggots and Effendi of Fruitflies!
Cuardin is impressed
Randel says, ""O great glory and splendour! And all my
wishes have come true!"... NOT!"
Gumbart says, "You refuse the gift??"
Randel says, "errrmm, no... just that I am not worthy,
O gracious Gumbart."
Gumbart says, "Do not worry, oh primitive native of
Bree, thou shalt learn in time how to pass as a decent warder of maggots."
Gumbart says, "pass /for/ a"
Randel says, "There is already a decent Farmer Maggot,
in the shire. I cannot usurp his place."
Gumbart raises a banners saying "Vote Randel!"
Randel says, "'And far away, as Randel took up the
Ringworm vice-Lordship and claimed it for her own, even in sammath Naur and the
very heart of his realm, the Power in Barad-dur was shaken, and the Tower
trembled from its foundations to its proud and bitter crown.'"
Gumbart says, "Hahaha!"
Cuardin goes to Valinor and back, so that "Both worlds
have only half power over him, but he may have doubble power over both."
Khazamr chuckles and wonders if he should have written
some parts of the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings or Silmarillion differently...
Randel grumples at Cuardin. "wassat? i thought you were
still asleep in Cuivienen"
Khazamr says, "What's this! The salmiakki topping of my
ice cream has a hole in it! A catastrophe!"
Gumbart admires Cuardins drive for power, "Thou shalt
earn yourself a kingdom, yet, oh Cuardin of them long legs and hairless face.
Yours shall be a part in the big circle of Ringworms and Earworms, and
mightiest of all, Earringworms!"
Randel says, "shouldn't it be "long face and hairless legs"?"
Gumbart says, "He didn't go to valinor using his face,
did he? Unless his nose was VERY long and he hops on it like Super-Rabbit!"
Khazamr wonders if Gumbart is mocking him.
Randel says, "Only in Cuardin's case. anyway, '"It's
wisdom to recognize necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though
as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope."'"
Gumbart takes out his dwarven super-tool set and starts
measuring everybodies nose.
From afar, Khazamr has no nose ICly ;p
Cuardin fotfl
Gumbart finds that Khazamr has the shortest nose of
all! And Randel has the longest nose! In fact, Randel was called "the stick"
back when she lived in Archet!
Randel shakes Cuardin. "get up, you. you're supposed to
be singing to us in the Elven tongue until our hearts overflow, wounded with
sweet words, and our joy is like swords, and we pass in thought out to the
regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of
blessedness.
Khazamr would be called 'The Void', then.
Randel says, "that's not mynose you mesured, Gummie.
That's my nosering."
Gumbart wonders wether Khazamr ate all those who dared
to insult him. And considering Randel's love for outrageous jewelry, he wonders
whether Khazamr wore a nosering and ripped his nose off, or wether he never had
a nosering, and then of course, what did Khazamr do to the Ringworms??

==============================================================================
Khazamr says, "Actually, I tried fitting a scimitar
blade there instead of my nose, but I liked it there only for about 1/100 of a
second."
Randel would never rip _her_ nose off, 'cos 'she who
breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom."
Khazamr says, "So, now I have a mask. Masks are cool."
Gumbart can't bear the quotes any longer. "AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHH"
Randel nods to Khazamr. "yeah, I use those also, once a
week. improves the complexion. My favourite's Clay & Cumcumber."
Cuardin checks what kind of magic he is authorized to
do, and then begins. A devine being wanders down the path, glowing softly with
a subtle yet heavenly grace. As he walks, the path appears to smoothen bfore
his feet, and the trees sem to just happen to sway away from him where he
walks. in his hand he holds a flute from wich are produced such supreme music
that all not of western oriin fall to their knees in adoration. As time passes,
their hearts are filled with ease, strength and happiness.
Cuardin says, "If I met you, I could do that IC..."
Khazamr says, "Oh, Randel? Clay & Cucumber? Hmm. I
might try it. My favourite is black iron."
Gumbart falls to his knees in adoration. As time
passes, his heart is filled with ease, strength and happiness. He recalls that
he loves cucumber salad and molds little toys in clay. "Having a beard makes a
woman so much nicer!"
Cuardin turns his eyes up in despair at the foolish
mortals who worry so much about their complexion...
Cuardin says, "For you who are interested, read news
elves magic3, I live for that page..."
Khazamr says, "Gee, must be a boring life."
No entry for 'elves magic3'.
Gumbart says, "No entry for 'elves magic3'."
Cuardin says, "Sorry, news magic elves3"
Lonyorac says, "Good morning all."
MAGIC ELVES3
Elves also, according to Tolkien in the HoME books, have powers over
their physical bodies. Elves are creatures of Fea, or spirit, far more than of
body. Tolkien intimates, for instance, that Glorfindel and other very powerful
elves could reform their own bodies as needed. He also gives the impression
that older elves could hide themselves from the view of mortals -- become
invisible -- at will.
However, the RP of all but the most powerful of Elendor elves (namely
Noldo) should be limited to mainly the simple things elves do to make it clear
they're not human -- glowing a little, speaking in musical voices,
communicating through thought, singing unearthly songs, and committing
superhuman acts of grace. All of these are necessary parts of elven RP,
particularly when interacting with non-elves.
A final example: When Frodo and Sam happen upon Gildor and his
companions, the very fact of elves being in those woods transforms them into
an almost wooden castle, making even the ground like a comfortable bed. Elves
really seem to just affect the world around them, glowing and filling it with
hope while they're around.
Bombur says, "Heya"
Cuardin says, "Good morning/afternoon"
Randel says, ""What do you mean? Do you wish me a good
morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that
you feel good on this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?""
Gumbart takes his hammer and smashes Randels book of
quotes to pulp. PULP!
Randel says, "aww, you've made Tolkien pulp fiction."
Cuardin takes his elven bow and shoots the hammer
before it strikes the book...
Randel nods. "Ah, yes, that must be an example of
"superhuman acts of grace" that NEWS MAGIC ELVES3 speaks off."
Gumbart shakes his head in despair.
Cuardin says, "Nope, simple physics, If I am moving
towards Gumbart, all while firing an arrow fast enough, it will hit before it
was fired in Gumbarts POV, according to Einstein..."
Gumbart says, "Read NEWS MAGIC DWARVES if you want to
be bored to tears."
Cuardin says, "have fun..."
Randel says, "you're leaving, Cuardin?"
Gumbart says, "I beg you, he is mocking me."
Gumbart adds, "With superhuman grace, of course."
Cuardin says, "Allways, Gumbart, allways..."
Cuardin thinks things are looking paceful, but conjures
up "The Bubblegum of Truth"(c) just in case, of course, using superhuman
grace..
Randel watches Cuardin throw back his cloak. The
Elven-gum globbers as he chews it... "I am Cuardin son of Sardine... Here is
the Gum that was Blown and is chewed again! Will you aid me or thwart me?
Choose swiftly!" she hears him shout.
Gumbart cries, "Foul! Stop munching on my coat, you elven weirdo!!!"
Cuardin can only fall into helpless laughter...that
does not mean he stops chewing...
Gumbart cries, "The freak is eating my coat! Calls it
the `Gum of Truth'!? What should I do, Randel, help me quick!"
Randel says, "Hoom, hmmm. Don't be hasty, Gumbart."
Cuardin is incapitated...
Randel is disappointed that Cuardin's merely
incapitated, not decapitated.
Gumbart rips his coat out of Cuardins drooling foamy
mouth and looks at it in disgust. "Whoa, you are superhuman!"
Cuardin finally manages to gontroll himself, notices
what he is chewing on, spits out the pieces about as far as Harad, and mutters
"Argh, why do the spells never work..."
