+1 I love you

Fantastic idea consolidating these all down into one thread! Great job 

I do this in passing whenever I come to the wilds to chop trees so this sounds like a great idea! #earfday2012

Not sure how long you've been gone but we've moved to a magical new land called Anthos, the white rose exploded, humans got owned by orcs, dwarves built another wall in two days and the new antagonist is ravaging the world over making it look all netheracky and scary!

P.s. Stay away from the conclave 

Could you tell me about the 

Wendish Empire?

Because I know nothing about it.

This looks amazing! You (guys) did a great job coding this.

((Just wanted to say I read this as Erection Time In The Shire... that is all.)) 

how do you lock the stuff

    You would need a V.I.P. status (Edit: Iron or above) to have access to the command for locking chests. Or you could get a friend to do it for you. Otherwise I recommend hiding your valuables under a block or in a secret chest.

(Fredegar will need a burrow. What are the directions to the new area?)

((Was wondering the same thing. Also I'd be happy to help with any building being done.))

Aris pipes up when he see's the halflings hard at work "Oi'd be content with a 'ole in te ground if ye lads could!"

((Are we going to have any new regulations on locks? It's just going to get tiresome having everything you own disappear every few days. Mabey we could just lock our front doors, and keep a passcode that all the trusted halflings get? Also if somebody could tell me the new location that could be nice...))

    Yes, now that we're moving to a more active place locks will be encouraged.

Aris Snowbird waves his shovel in the air "I'm 'ere, doin' alrigh' but oi could use n' Applespice ale if ye'd please!"

((Probably wont have time for eldering in the near future so if you need to elect someone to take Aris' place feel free!))

The annual grand Halfling harvest has finally finished. Halflings all over lenfarthing shed their overalls and farming tools to lazily drink the day away. Halfling celebrations are in full swing with burrow-warmings and ale drinking contests but everyone saves some room in their little round bellies for the finest feast of all. Notes are posted on the notice board and outside inviting other races -except orcs- to come join in the festivities.

Come one, Come ye all!

The annual halfling feast of Knoxgivin' is finally upon us!

Come forth and stuff yer face on the finest home baked halfling treats, sweets and meats.

O'course there'll be parteh games, dancin' and a great Tourney O' the finest game in all Anthos, Shogs

Te party'll be on the ((30th of November at 3pm Est)) and we're looking forward to all O' ye attendin'!

Another idea might be to shoot it from the view of a new halfling coming into Lenfarthing. You could walk around in a pre-set pattern and come across different halflings going about their daily activities or just generally buggering around (with possible yorkshire accent voice acting to enhance the video). it would be a good way to not only show off the town and all it's little nooks and crannies but also the Rp (If it existed that is :P).

Aris hobbles out of his burrow for the first time in years to be present in the funeral. After much sniffling, drinking and a hard talk with Posco he heads back to his cozy burrow. He takes his trusty golden spade off it's display hook and rests it next to his bed. Dousing the fire Aris hops into bed before the munchkins can grab at his exposed ankles, making sure to get good rest for tomorrow's return to eldering.

((Thanks for all you've done for the halflings Bolo! You've been a driving force in this little sleepy community, planning many an event or festival and making some hard decisions even if others disagreed with them. It's going to be tough loosing you man, but I wish you good luck with life. Hopefully you'll be back some day soon!))

((Is Birc still active? If not we might be able to give out his old tree to someone of another race provided we enjoy their rp. We normally have a very small handful of players from other races to spice up rp. It's just a matter if we think they'll cause any trouble or ruin rp.))

((Ocd Aris' worst nightmares have finally come true...))

3pm is probably the best time, it's a bit early for the Americas but at least that way the brits are online as well! 

Solid work man. I had something to ask you guys, but I can't quite think of it right now. Give me a bit, and I'll probably be back with an edit.

*Eagerly awaits the something*

 EDIT: Is there a way to make these bigger in the post? 

Yes just upload your pic to  http://tinypic.com/?t=postupload then copy and paste the [image] code on the forum. 

Gamle Irongut locks himself in the Brewery cellar and cries from all of this bullying and harassment. 

 

"Ah'm a manleh dorf! W-w-why can' dey jus' leave meh alone!" he sobs.

 

Poor Gamle here is a victim of bullying. Bullying is running rampid through many areas around Anthos, with kids ganging up on other kids, and abusing them, either verbally or physically. Using words like "edgy", "noob", and even kids calling to "1v1 irl". This is a serious issue in many Anthos communities, even Lenfarthing. If you are a victim of bullying, please attend the weekly "Grow a Pair" meeting, in the nearest town. If your town or city does not provide an annual "Grow a Pair" meeting, deal with it, or contact your local "Grow a Pair Foundation" representative. 

 

"Mah name is Gamleh Irongut, 'n ah approve dis message."

((You think that's bad bullying? You should see Milo on skype!)) 

it's funny cuz Aris made that

 

Anyways, I'm thinking we're gonna need a new layout for the new Halfling area. So I gave it a shot cause why not (it might be crap).

 

 

Green = Forest and Shizz

 

Yellow = Farms and whatnot

 

Orange = Lil' Halfling landmark maybe a statue or something

 

Light brown circle = Big inn (Some one come up with a name for it)

 

Red = Festival Area / Shops

 

Dark Brown Turds = Burrows

 

Grey = Docks

 

Blue dot near the wheat field = Mill/storage area

 

Purple dot near lake = Water Mill/ Place to rent lil boats and fishing rods

 

     I made a nice little in game render of Picasso, I mean uh... Posco's map in the actual current 4.0 cloud temple island. I used 2x2 pumpkings to give a little bit of scale.

From the (sort of) map view:

 

 

From the main gate just off the road.

 

 

From the mountain.

 

     It's a little bit smaller than len but... If we all band together and everyone is okay with living in 2x2 holes on the ground I think it should be perfect! :) 

   Alright I think the general consensus is yes. We're fine with being semi close to the temple but not on it. Perhaps a little bit off the main road leading out from the temple would be good? We'd still like the town to be back from the highway. 

((Nobody is involved with these decisions but the elders.))

((No no no, we always make sure to take in the community's thoughts and opinions on the matter! Always  ))

    So, since we're brainstorming about other things besides the map... what's the opinion on 4.0 burrows? We usually slightly change styles when we change maps so, here are some of my ideas. I'll just say, I'm not a very good builder Inb4 Dalek insults my ideas. 

     Instead of having the normal shire style where most of the exposed outside of the burrow is just dirt, my idea is that we have more prominent wood details on the outside with a grass roof. The grass and dirt would still come all the way to ground level every once and a while but there would be a lot more wood on the outside than there is in Anthos. Another idea would be to incorporate some colored clay on the outside to break up the monotony of just having wood and grass. It would probably used as more of a focus block for the burrow. Here's another concept image. 

   So, what ideas do you guys have? As I said before I'm a pretty bad builder so hopefully some others can run with these ideas and make some unique burrows for the 4.0 map! 

((Well, that was uh...interesting. Nice writing! :D))
