Valon (Yokey)

Taking away player lore could solve many problems, but it could also cause many. What if someone gets an incredible creature or magic idea. What do we do? I don't know if I'd like this at all. People should be allowed to tell their thoughts on additions to the server. If nothing new ever came through the server, what would there be to stay for? The same conflicts, the same enemies, the same dangers. What if you'd tried this sooner, and we never got ghosts? or alchemy lore? or dread knights? Think of all the things player lore has done, and please. Keep player lore.

Sometime soon. We need an event.

    "The halflin's 'ave they'a tea an' sweets. Them keep they'a cozy sweatahs. Them keep all they'a biz and bobblez. Them keep they'a cozy damn'd lifes. I needs none o' it. I got all I's need in me mischeif an' me hole. *grumble grumble*"

    Lenfarthing had their tea and sweets. They wore their cozy sweaters. They admired their bits and bobbles. They carried on through another day of their lives. And so, they all curled up into their cozy blankets and covers. They drifted off into their dream worlds, relishing the tea and bobbles in their heads. But nevertheless, doors creaked open and shut, floorboards creaked as if someone paced through the very hallways of the halflings' burrows. The flowers and grass were brushed past, and hedges were shook. But silence and tranquility fell back upon the scenic hills. People awoke, and stretched their arms and legs. They stood, ready to return to the tea and cake, the sweaters, the bits and bobbles of their everyday life. But it was not to be so. Screams echoed across the hills, and scenes of horror were amiss. Upside-down paintings in every home, unevenly-trimmed grass, chairs missing legs, cabinets without jars or bowls, and worst of all...from every house, from every box or chest or cupboard, not one silver spoon. Not one. It was a dark day.

   "Hehe...hehe." chuckled Gulmo Blagwam. This munchkin was just getting started.

Use actual halflings in it to make pretend that we are active.

    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! 

Great Idea, Aris. I love it!

Yokey celebrates for his friend.

House Fatroot

"Pipeweed is the root of all happiness. We are that root. A very fat one at that."

House Fatroot is a large conglomeration of halflings. They are pipeweed farmers many, and some perform other professions as well. Doctors, bakers, candlestick makers. Yes, being a fatroot is full of possiblities.

((If you want to be a halfling, this is a way for you to jump right in. Just show up with a aname and skin. No shoes, red hair, and have fun. Join the house!))

Yokey ruffles his hair and bellows with laughter,

"Silly boy."

Yokey grins upon seeing the note

"I'll do it!" He yells to no one in particular.

A note appears all over lenfarthing, with the Fatroot family crest and the words "Yokey for Elder."

 Well, one of the disadvantages of having less land is less burrows. Now, while I do advocate smaller burrows very much, we have been having problems with the number of burrows in 3.0. People don't want halflings that live in the inn. No one does. So what we need to do is find other forms of housing. Maybe a larger hill with two burrows built into it, or something. I'll get a map drawn up of my own design sooner or later, but I vurry vurry busy with region orchestra and marching state coming up. Afterwords, I should have a bunch more time. I'll be around at the times I can.

Also, bigger inn, and Aris, utilize what I circled for wheat fields

In general, my time has diminished with school and my recent making of Honor's Band (Woohoo!) so I'm definitely working on my activity and I'm rly trying guys. I hope my burrow is still there...

((It's empty again? Just a while ago I harvested the fields for the second time. Filled the chest up. Oh well, good choice then. I'll throw in some of my stuff, kay?))

Yokey stomps his feet "Ah durnit."

What if we all made event proposals centered around the Halflings? Of course anyone who wanted to could show up, but we could just make a bunch of event proposals that take place in Lenfarthing.

 

Also VALON, YOU ECCENTRIC GENIUS, GO GET THAT MAN-FROG LORE IMPLEMENTED!

Also, Yeah I'm trying don't yell at me pls I have sensitive ears and noses,

One, we've yet to implement the cantankerous chicken. 

 

Two, just wait for the college kids to get on winter term.

I agree with all this. We need Benny back.

I know Yokey needs some relatives who would be proud to call themselves Fatroot.

Anywho, on the subject of events, I've been planning to make a Halloween event :)

Be on the lookout for a haunted burrow.

((I love how this thread turned into a battle))

Yokey sits in a pumpkin patch waiting

Guerilla Warrior and Infiltration Specialist Admiral Fatroot "Yokey the Undefeated" packs a snowball as he rests in comfort in Castle Von Halflingstine

Guerilla Warrior and Infiltration Specialist Admiral Fatroot "Yokey the Undefeated" takes up arms in Catle Von Halflingston

Yokey gives him a blanket and some coal bits. He then lights his shoes on fire. Yokey felt good about himself.

"I'm doin' good taday."

You wanna hear some of my poetry?

Here's a haiku:

Oboe Oboe Oboe Oboe Oboe

Oboe Oboe Oboe Oboe Oboe Oboe Oboe

Oboe Oboe Oboe Oboe Good

(But srsly, that's awesome.)

It's nice to see so many player recommendations about the server!

((10/10 Would read again))

Goodbye. I don't really know you, but I admired your work as admin, goodbye and good luck to you in life.
