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.

    XD Haha. I'm an example.

    =D Best Pet?
    Ooh, and "Most Likely to Stab". I know that'd be a huge category.

    >.> Maybe we should have some alignment-type ones...

    Most Good
    Most Evil
    Most Lawful (omg, do we HAVE lawful people?!)
    Most Chaotic
    ...Most Neutral? XD (maybe not this one...)

    Best Death! (nononono- Yori self-insertion. Has anyone else even died? >.>)

    If this were my DnD campaign, I'd suggest "Most Likely to Get Hit by a Falling Centaur."

    Most likely to get themselves killed for hugging the wrong person >.> :P

    XD that isnt specific at all

    Ugliest character
    Prettiest character

    I would have made gender sub-categories for the above two; but then some who fall in the neither category would be excluded, and kit would get to go twice XD

    Most likely to die old and lonely
    Most likely to have far too many children
    Most likely to die of a stroke

    Best skin of your teeth escape.

    ummm...FACE!

    I think we're going to have to weed out the best categories eventually. o.o That's just... way too many.

    Actually, I was thinking that we'd just randomize certain ones - basically, ones that we shouldn't/wouldn't do every year (best female character vs. most likely to fall down the stairs). So, have a maximum number of categories, have a few yearly ones, and the rest just get plucked at random.

    I second that notion.

    Though I do still think a few could be weeded out...

    Oh totally lol. Some can definitely be dropped, but we don't have to you know... bring it down to 20 and do those 20 every single time. It's ok to have 30 or 40 and to only do 15 of them.

    I don't think the kidnapped by fans one is necessary either. I mean, we've got a few too many categories for best girl/guy.

    And I have no idea how we'd judge most likely to die of a stroke.

    The stroke one is prolly a funny way of saying 'who's more stressed out'.

    Biggest Twist
    Best Use of an NPC
    Best Dialogue
    Best Fight Scene (Thread Award)
    Most Original Character
    Sexiest Male Character
    Sexiest Female Character
    Best Plot
    Best Overall Male Character
    Best Overall Female Character




    Smaller Awards:

    Most likely to die old and lonely
    Best "skin of your teeth" escape
    Most likely to kill self on accident
    Most insane character
    Most assertive personality
    Most Realistic
    Most likely to run down on a rainbow
    Most Badass
    Biggest Heart
    Best use of scenery
    Creepiest Overall
    Biggest Backstabber
    Cutest Overall Character
    Most Likely to Fall Down the Stairs
    Most Good
    Most Evil
    Best Pet
    Most Dysfunctional Relationship
    Miss Congeniality (Friendliest Player)
    Most Humorous (Character or Player)
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Also, for when we do actually vote, instead of making a million different poles, I might be able to find a program that just allows for one huge one like a ballot.

    Do we want this to be the sort where we give awards for every time? Like 'Best Character '09', or would we like to steal them instead like no two people can have the same award at once regardless of the year/time in which it was given, Ms. America-style?

    I think we should just award them every time. o.0 If someone wins and vanishes we can't really steal it back.
