SUMMER

Angkar: Wet season. Precipitation is common during the late afternoon and evening hours. Vegetation grows significantly during the summer, but flooding is a danger due to the monsoons that ravage the country. The rainforest sees evenly distributed rainfall throughout the season.

Ashoka: Desert: Extremely hot and dry. Violent, heavy downpours following long dryspells. Jungle: Hot and humid with frequent, violent rainstorms.

Morrim: Relatively hot and dry, but with a chance of thunderstorms from time to time. The heat may cause forest fires.

Soto: Hot and humid, tree cover is dense while ground growth is restricted. Thunderstorms see the most amount of rainfall during the season, and it can be very windy. On occasion, there are flash floods that can destroy homes and farms built on flood plains.

WHAT IS ELENLOND?

Elenlond is an original free-form medieval fantasy RPG set on the continent of Soare and the Scattered Isles, which are located to the south in the Sea of Diverging Waters. The four chief nations of the western side of the world—Ashoka in northern Soare, Soto in western Soare, Morrim in eastern Soare, and Angkar, the largest of the Scattered Isles—continue to experience growth and prosperity since the fall of the Mianorite gods, although power struggles within the countries—or outside of them—continue to ensue.

  • CURRENT EVENTS

    Angkar: To honour the reinvigoration of the ancient city of Mondrágon, the majestic Queen Eulalia has permitted the opening of a Coliseum where people from around the world and all walks of life can test their combat skills against one another. Many have already done battle in search of honour, glory, prizes and money.

    Ashoka: In an otherwise peaceful times, Ashokans are beset with the relatively minor inconveniences of wandering undead and occasionally-aggressive giant rock worms. There has also been some controversy over the recent re-legalisation of human sacrifice.

    Morrim: Rumour has it that Emperor Leofric de Hollemark is mustering forces for a war. Though the threat from Soto’s forests has passed, the forces previously employed in watching the forest now linger at the border. Rumours also circulate of a small group that has been dispatched to make contact with the tribes of the Do’suul Mountains.

    Soto: The Sotoans have defeated the fey and liberated themselves from Méadaigh’s oppression! Preliminary efforts have been made at rebuilding the city of Madrid, which had been captured at the beginning of the war. However, the Sotoans are hindered from recovery famine. Méadaigh’s magic caused summer to persist in the Erth’netora Forest through the winter. Her power has been withdrawn and the plants die as if preparing for winter – even though it is now summer. The Sotoans must sustain off what food they can get, what creatures they can kill and what can be imported into the city from Morrim and Angkar.

    Ok so on Terrawin, a site a bunch of us once populated, every winter there were "Awards" issued. These were based on a few different categories, like "Best Overall Female/Male Character", "Best Bar Scene", "Best Spell caster", "Most fun plot" ya know, so on and so forth. Anyway, I think Elly should have awards like this. True, we are a bit smaller then TW, but all that means is we'll have fewer categories. In my opinion this also urged people to write their very best in attempts to earn these titles and the bragging rights they came with. It also added to site unity, and I think so long as we're all mature enough that no one will throw a fit because they didn't win, this would be a good idea.

    Basically it starts with nominees for the categories, and then those most nominated are put in a pole that all the site gets to vote in (for each category). After this, winners are announced- and all without cheesy world peace speeches!

    Anyone else interested or should I shut up?

    Sounds great! Tho I might suggest we do it twice a year, once during summer and once in winter, as the game seems to change dramatically between those times.

    Tho this could also be a bad idea, I dunno? >.>

    And then she was gone, her hips swinging as the knives jostled her thighs, passing by guards with her head held high, a haughty smile upon her lips.

    Mmhmm, we could definitely do it. If we do, though, someone will need to volunteer their time for small banner making, as, after September, I doubt I'll have a whole lot of time to post, let alone do graphics and the like.

    I've thought about doing this before, but I find that there's a distinct lack of OOC discussion from people, which is why I never decided to do it. I don't want to do something and have 4 people vote, when there are 20 active people, you know?

    A completely anonymous Yori is willing to volunteer. =D Though maybe we can do little icons instead of banners, or just simple little banners because... y'know... the banners on TW were a bit of chaos in the signatures.

    Yeah I'm not thinking anything fancy. On one forum I'm on, where they do this sort of thing, they just have a little design and then over it what the award was (ie. Senz's was "Most likely to fall down the stairs" lol. That kind of thing. Nothing elaborate. But still, come September, I won't have time to do it. I'll be lucky if I have time to do anything. =_=

    XD Most likely to fall down the stairs? That's an awesome award!

    =D Yeah. I'm not a complete fail, so I could take that up.

    Mmm, I'm here if you need me for anything. September shouldn't be too busy of a time....midterms usually don't hit that early.

    Haha, falling down the stairs....I do that often.

    You can all talk amongst yourselves then for who wants to do what when it comes. XD Maybe we'll do them in August and then in January... Just so that I don't have to rush this month.

    Speaking of "most likely to fall down the stairs", I think the biggest thing to discuss now would be the award categories, yes? Any suggestions?

    Most Huggable

    *nods* :P

    Longest Post probably shouldnt be an option, it promotes people to post unnecessarily long posts just to try for that award *nods*

    We should probably have a different thread for this? Just so people don't have to scroll. And so someone could make and edit a starting post with all the categories?

    But since I'm too lazy to do that....I'll continue posting here. xP

    I agree, Longest Post.....is not really a relevant category. They're not necessarily a good, and I know that many of my 1000-2000 word posts are filled with fluff and could be just as good if they were a third of the size. Not to mention that some people just can't post that long...

    That was an unnecessary ramble. See? Even when I'm not posting, I'm filled with fluff.

    ANYWAY. MOVING ON. *cough*

    Oh, question. Are we doing IC awards, OOC awards (player vs. character) or both?

    Okay, now moving on. And these can be for both player and character

    Most Humorous? (player and/or character)
    Most Likely to Get Stabbed? (for whatever reason....love, hate, etc)
    Nicest? (in general)
    Best Character? (I don't know if we want to promote that or not...)

    Yeah, my suggestions = lame. Shoot me.

    Most Waffleheart! =D (totally not stealing one of TW's last year's last minute categories... no way.)

    Best male and best female seems a common enough one. We can run with that one.

    XD How about "most likely to get naked"? Or most dysfunctional... ooor... I 'unno.

    How did this work before? Nominations? So people'll send one of us their nominations and then we hold a poll or whatever.
