Petyr 485 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Some important points to note: If you really enjoy PvPing, a halfling is probably not for you. If you are rage or have a temper, being a halfling is not for you. If you want to be a Mary Sue or be a super duper badass, halflings are not for you. If you get really bored really quickly, halflings might not be for you. If you want to mine, halfling might not be for you. If you are too serious, halfling is not for you. HOWEVER: If you enjoy farming, drinking, fishing, and laughing, be a halfling. If you are tired of powergamers, poor RPers, or just tired of conflict, be a halfling. If you want some peace and some good friends, be a halfling. If you are drawn to short and weak races like hobbits and gnomes, be a halfling. If you like the sound of an Irish accent, be a halfling. If you want a community that is more focused on fun over items, be a halfling. And, if you've always wanted to live in a hobbit burrow, be a halfling. UNLEASHING YOUR INNER HALFLING - Step 1 - Read "A History of Halflings". It's on the wiki. I wrote it. While you're at it, read the halfling page, as well. Step 2 - Get a skin. No shoes, typically clothes that could be used for farming. Perhaps a strand of grass in your hair. Step 3 - Talk the talk. Use "yer", "me" for "my", and all of that other stereotypical halfling speak. Step 4 - Get a good name. Perhaps join an already prominent family (Brandybuck, Sturdyfoot, Took). Typically first names are two syllables with a rhythm of "strong-weak" while last names are either "strong" or "strong-weak-strong". Step 5 - Know some more info. Halflings are adults at thirty three. They can live longer than most humans, sometimes up to 175 or 200. They don't wear shoes. Their ale is potent, yet with strong emphasis on flavors. They like being comfortable. They are very hungry. Their eyes can be different colors. Halflings don't necessarily look down on thievery. Do your research. Step 6 - ??? Step 7 - Let's do this thang. I will probably add more later. Hopefully this was helpful to future and existing halflings. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sykogenic 1333 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks Petyr. I was actually going to make my next character a halfling should I decide to kill off this one or something happens in RP that I cant control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auldhin Talonwick 2 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I kinda miss being a peaceful farmer halfling... it was the life. But a lot of times halflings are quiet and shy, making for less RP. Sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petyr 485 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 I kinda miss being a peaceful farmer halfling... it was the life. But a lot of times halflings are quiet and shy, making for less RP. Sometimes. Less RP, no. Different RP, certainly. That's why I made the list of what type of people will enjoy our RP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petyr 485 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ah, yes, a key point. The average halfling avoids swords in favor of a shovel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
♦ Kal ♦ 242 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I thought the average life expectancy is 100 years, well unless they own the one ring. I also heard people say they would speak in a West Country accent, rather then an Irish one, but who am I to question the lore master. :mrgreen: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
