Some of you know me... and some of you don't... anywho... while up in Theren chatting with others in Olvi (gotta love it) stumbled on a great idea... It has been 359 years, 214 days since the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer... and we haven't celebrated!! (well... not as a whole) So... how about we all get together as brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, nephews, etc etc and have a blast of a good time with tarts, ale, tea, water, chocolate, food, grub, and anything else we can get our hands on? It's about time that Glythtide visit the Dale again... and this might help him get over there! Rascalt, all the others of the Dale council... what do you think? We just have to do it!! Pick a date, time, all that, and Arane and I'll be there for sure! Rempick Snarfblat, smith

For the most fun loving Race in the lands and most obviously the BEST race, we are somehow awfully quiet on the boards. Ok, the reason for this post. I was wanting to see how many of you would like to try and start up an ORDER for Halflings of all shapes and shortness. Something that every halfing regardless of Gender or Guild could get together and show the rest of them How great we can be in large short groups ;). Also a place that young halflings could come to learn what it is to be Olvi. A place to gather tell stories and help others and meet new friends. Like a mentor place but also a place to gather. well if any actually reads this leave you comments, if we get enough people wanting this to happen, we can ask the board gremlins.....I mean monitors for a folder in the unofficial organazations and see if we can put something together. Sorry for the rant and miss spelling (late and I am tired)

Category  Eleven Races (28) Topic     Halfling Happenings (5) Message   Thain Introduction (IC) (21) By        NORTHWIND@PLAY.NET (Mykk) On        Feb 4, 2000 at 19:30 Greetings fellow Olvi! Let me begin by saying what a great honor it is to be selected Thain! I will do everything in my power to keep Arthe Dale the peaceful and joyous village and countryside we all know and love. I go by the name Mykk Dalys. Some of you may not know me, but anyone who lives in Arthe Dale knows the Dalystovski family. (Yes, I go by an abbreviated last name--awfully long last name, I thought!) My family is known in Arthe Dale and surrounding countryside primarily for two things: the vineyards we keep in the hills East of Arthe, where some of the finest wines anywhere are produced, and the underhill estate we maintain in Berry Knolls. As far as the wine goes, any connoisseur knows our reputation, but even most non-oenophiles are aware of our number-one export, Dalasian White, which we deliver all over Elanthia, from Langenfirth to Aesry. Our home in Berry Knolls is one of the oldest, and is located in the prestigious center of Olallieberry Circle. For those of you not up on the elder families of Arthe Dale, it is the ivy-covered octagonal knoll. You history buffs will appreciate my family's estate is next door to Squirt's former manor, may he be happy wherever he is... The Dalystovski family typically avoids holding political offices... which is not to say we're without influence... but for my great love of Arthe Dale, I felt a social obligation to maintain a strong line of Thains, and gladly accept the opportunity to give back to the Olvi community. This community extends well past our Village Gate, to our families in Haven and Ratha, and anywhere and everywhere else our furry feet take us. I'm sorry now I don't know more of you. There is some social pressure being a Dalystovski, which I sought to avoid by maintaining a low profile. While on the mainland, I do spend a great deal of my time in Arthe Dale, but three key influences keep me moving about the lands the way I do. First, my family's business sends me away at times. Second, I'm still a youthful Olvi (just turned 30 this week--what a way to celebrate a 30th birthday!), and as such am filled with wanderlust. What a glorious land we live in! Third, I list my hobbies as eating, drinking, music, and most importantly in this case, hunting. Not just random slaying, mind you, but thought-out hunting trips, living off the land (and sometimes a fine Inn <g>), sharpening equally my blades and my mind. My current hunting trip finds me on the fantastic island of Aesry, where I've been since the beginning of winter. Although Aesry could never replace the green hills of Arthe Dale, I must say it is a wonderful place with a lot of very nice people of all sizes. If you are ever out that way, you should say Hi to Grayrn, an Olvi Empath of repute. Like most of you, I prefer Olvi empaths to all others, so if there are others of you, I'd sure like to know. As soon as this hunting trip wraps up, I will make my way back to Arthe Dale for a more formal inauguration. At this time, I'm not going to set any agendas. I have some ideas for this and that, but lets see what time brings. Thanks for listening, I can be long-winded. To all my current and future Olvi friends and family, hello! Mykk Dalys, Thain of Arthe Dale

Category  Eleven Races (28) Topic     Halfling Happenings (5) Message   Thain Introduction (OOC) (22) By        NORTHWIND@PLAY.NET (Mykk) On        Feb 4, 2000 at 22:35 (OOC statement from the player of Mykk) Greetings fellow players! Rascalt's resignation came as a surprise to me, so I'm not very prepared personally to effect any "grand changes" to the Arthe Dale community. Not that it needs any. Here's what I'd like to see to start. Any player, Olvi or otherwise, who has an opinion, an idea, who lives in Arthe, etc etc or just wants me to know they are available for role-playing opportunities when they arise, please send me an email. No, I'm not desperate for email, I get enough, thank you. But I will view the quantity of responses as indicative of the amount of time I feel like investing into the position. Make the emails IC or OOC, long or short, it doesn't matter. I will be trying to catalog as many Olvi in the game as I can, so if you care to send a name and profile, that would be appreciated. I will be trying to collect any Elanthian history regarding Olvi-- any help in this regard would be appreciated. At least one of you has an Olvi-related website, I think it might have even been Rascalt. I'm not in a position to create or run a website right now, so if you have one, great, if I can help, great. I used to be an active member of onelist.com's OlviList, but I believe it died. There is another list called, I think, OlviTalk. If anyone is aware of active Olvi mailing lists, please let me know. We should try to consolidate them (players willing of course). Then again, it was confusing to have information come across sometimes on the List, sometimes on the message boards, so I'm looking for opinions on the best way to get announcements and/or news across. I'm curious if there was a Thain or Thains before Squirt. To my knowledge it has been just Squirt and Rascalt. I guess that's it. I personally have 3 characters on my account... all Olvi. Except Mykk gets played 99% of the time, the other two just bum off Mykk and his knoll LOL. I've thought about creating other characters, but since I can not play 24/7 (real life, you know), I spend my time in DR roleplaying the race I enjoy the most: Olvi. I play 4-5 nights a week usually (eastern time), for anywhere from 1-7 hours a whack, plus here and there on the weekends during the day. I'm much more interested in the roleplaying aspects, so if you've got a question regarding stats or such for Olvi, ask Soim, I haven't got a clue. But if you're into roleplaying, drop me a line in-game or out, anytime. email: arthedale@email.com   AIM: mykkdalys Thanks again, --the player of Mykk Dalys, Thain of Arthe Dale (yeah, I know it's pretentious, but hey...)

I will be haunting my favorite town for a while, so feel free to look me up! In my travels I get the pleasure of meeting some of you, and if you don't mind, would share who some of these great people are. That way, if you should meet them, I hope you would say Hi as well, and help spread the joy and solidarity that belongs to us Olvi. On Aesry, as I've mentioned before, is the Empath Extroidinaire, Grayrn Redcross. I will miss him (and his healing touch!) very much here on the mainland. New friends I met include Schimmelpeninck, Tiffins, and Griffina. Back on the mainland, I was able to attend the Trader's Ball, which was an excellent time for everyone. I went with Fizzia, one of the nicest Olvi I know, and also my best friend. Special thanks to non-Olvi Firannion, one of my favorite Humans in Elanthia, and without a doubt one of the most beautiful. She noticed me off in the corner, and dragged me out onto the dance floor. (She didn't have to try very hard!) She managed to dance with wee little me and keep a straight face, and for her grace, I thank her again. I noticed Shayleena and Harmonystar in attendance. I didn't get a chance to talk with them.... I was distracted! (See above <g>). But it looked like they were having a good time. I was hoping to make the Jeraya Games (Crossing Amphitheatre, 2/26/00, 5pm est), but family business is interfering... Bah. It's autumn, and my father needs me to help with one of the wine presses. ::grumble:: Anyway, for you Olvi looking for a good time, that should be more fun than anything else going on, and a relief from wondering when Lord Sorrow and company are going to cause more grief in our lands. Take care, Mykk Dalys, your friendly Thain

So if you are a Gnome who shakes a 'Tog, or a 'Tog who shakes a Gnome, or someone who witnesses something along  those lines, the messaging should now reflect differences in size more accurately.  The GLANCE verb has been modified as to give you race & gender information with every glance. So GLANCE TALISKER before would have given you:      You glance at Talisker.   Now it will give you:      You glance at Talisker, a male S'Kra Mur.  (though it actually doesn't work on GMs ;)  This was suggested several times by players over the years as a quick way to check race & sex without resorting to LOOK and also as a helpful indication  of who you might happen to be RPing with. From now on, every glance will remind you :)  Nothing major here, but both things were requested by players and I figured I'd give you all a head's up that they were there. As always, please point  out any problems with functionality or messaging that you come across. I'd be most grateful.  Cheers,  GM Talisker, DragonRealms Staff

Category  Eleven Races (28) Topic     Halfling Happenings (5) Message   Comet shards (26) By        NORTHWIND@PLAY.NET (Mykk) On        Mar 4, 2000 at 01:01 Greetings fellow Olvi, As most of you know, fallout from a passing comet struck points all over Elanthia tonight. Many of us found crystal shards in piles. The shards have the magical property to teleport you to various points in Elanthia. First, you rub the shard until it is the color you want (see below), then you focus on the shard to teleport there. According to Kssarh, the Moon Mage guild leader, the shards will work as long as the comet is around. The shards are *plentiful*. Do *not* pay for them. They are in piles all around Elanthia. They are in a crate in front of the Crossing bank. If all else fails, I grabbed extra, and would gladly give any Olvi one who asked. The color/teleport combinations are: Black Theren, Red Crossing, Green Riverhaven, Violet Aesry, Blue Leth, Yellow Shard, Grey Ratha, Purple Mer'Kesh, Pink Tiger Clan. If you need to contact me, you know the channels..... --Mykk email: arthedale@email.com IM: mykkdalys

I'm just up to my usual Olvi-spotting. Some might call it spying <g>. I like to think I'm just trying to help all my fellow Olvi get to know each other. Seriously, if anyone has a problem with it, let me know! Anyway, the major social event of the weekend, and, depending on who you ask, the week, month, year... was the wedding between two of Elanthia's beloved, Rock (Human) and Eyoni (Elf)! The wedding was in Leth, and went off superbly. Well, there was this goat, but that's another story. The wedding itself was well organized, and pretty straightforward. Just not straight-faced! Rock had us all roaring with laughter as you might expect, "Ex-Bachelor" that he is. Olvi I saw in attendance were Fizzia, Grayrn, Mossyoak, Dseth, Gabela, Aslath, Mylthazz, and Tyrathia. I hung out with my friend Fizzia as usual, and the two of us tried to compete in the trivia contest that Aslath was leading. Spent some time with Tyrathia at the trivia contest, and she's quite nice too. None of us did very well though! There was also a tourney held, and I understand Dseth won in the "anything goes" catagory (as opposed to ranged and melee). Wow. Don't mess with Dseth. Soim was supposed to running the tourney, but he was absent for some reason. Busy gathering the troops is my guess. That's all for now, --Mykk

When people ask me what guild I am, I laugh and tell them I belong to the guild o' Mykk! (Membership one, we need eating, drinking, and music to circle). Then if pushed, I get a real serious look on my face, and tell them I belong to the Olvi guild. I've managed to find another cleric or two besides Gabela, though she's right, they seem rare. I've found a few empaths, though, that's been a relief. Bards are a little easier to find, I've popped my head into the Arthe Dale Inn and bumped into some great Olvi bards there. Back when Dreamheart was holding weekly concerts at Baearholt's, there were Olvi aplenty, and at least 1 or 2 Olvi bard regulars. The Bards seem to like taverns (big surprise there) and events that involve food (ditto). I can usually count on finding an Olvi or two lying down, relaxing and enjoying the view, while they spend some quality time with one of the beggers in town. They may be bards, but I wouldn't say for sure. Let's see, I know a few rangers, a trader, and a barbarian. I know of an Olvi moon mage. Oh oh oh, and a very nice War Mage, almost forgot. Can't think of an Olvi Paladin at the moment. What gets me is wandering around Arthe (as frequently as possible), and I'm the only Olvi adventurer anywhere to be found. Ah well. Hey, anyone else got some news or good gossip to share? --Mykk "Olvis Rule!" Dalys

(37) By        JBEATLE@PLAY.NET On        Apr 1, 2000 at 16:57 Greetings fellow Olvi, Ye are nae alone, but perhaps ye not overwhelmed by the number of us either. Even this Olvi section of the Gwethnet appears to be one of the least used. We Olvi are not great in number, it appears. My adventures have taken me away from the Dale and Crossing to learn new skills (like the getting wounded quickly skill and my skill in waterbreathing [a.k.a nearly drowning]) near Shard. Ye may come across me in those parts if ye head down that way, although I usually spend little time in town and more time learnin' those news skills I mentioned afore <giggle>. When last in crossing area I came across only one Olvi (that I could see) and he was a friendly Bard. I also have come across an Olvi hunting in crocs not too long ago and he was a Paladin. The last Olvi I saw was on ferry from crossing to Leth Deriel, and I believe that he belonged to a guild strong in survival skills <grin>. I do look forward to meeting more of us right-sized as opposed to all o' 'em twicelings and tricelings I've seen stomping around. Hopes ta bump inta yas all sometime soon. <bounce> Zaulwen the Barbarian (barbarism in a more concentrated form)

Myself, Grayrn, and a couple others, one just passing through. We were all talking in Olvi, and Ruppi came through and jumped in a bit. Gotta tell you, it was fun. The biggest kick I got out of it was when a human said, "There must be a halfling village around here." The latest census was just published (3rd one I've got since December), and Olvi were at 4% in the realms all three times. Not a whopping percentage, but what the hey. We make up for it in different ways <g>. Good to see ya, Phangor, maybe catch you around Arthe sometime. --Mykk Dalys, Thain

I think it could be a "Halfling Happenings":**************** --Mykk Category Events and Happenings (29) Topic Community/Player Group Events (9) Message Topic Purpose (1) By DR-MERIEL@PLAY.NET On Apr 8, 2000 at 16:43 After reading over the responses to the informal survey about events, and talking to folks ingame, I've decided that we need a GM who can act as coordinator between player groups to help players create and run events for themselves. No, I'm not talking about "I find a Solomon-zapping Sword of Ultimate Death and get to keep it" event. Nor is this intended to provide free weddings -- you've still got to go to the Monastery to arrange that. I'm talking about events that you do which may just need a little GM nudge for help. Nothing that involves intense GM participation or creating any sort of item that gives an "advantage". Nothing that promotes any specific GM-player relationship. And, the event must not spark off an Elanthia-wide tribulation, or significantly influence history (for that, we need to start involving a whole slew of other GM departments, and the chances of approval drop dramatically). The Events team will do things like provide small prizes if you're holding a barding... or perhaps auction mechanics if you have a group with a good cause (the Rissans want to collect money to help rebuild the bridge and bank destroyed by pirates, for instance). I have an admitted prejudice against PvP tournaments, so those'd be a hard sell. If you want to do one of those, and expect GM assistance, you have to come up with a really, really interesting way to integrate it into your event as a whole. Or something like a premium community that wants to hold a neighborhood gathering, you could expect that we'd provide some refreshments -- however this is not a premium-only thing. Orders are welcome to participate, too... really, any group of folks who have a good idea that benefits and enhances the gaming environement is welcome to submit an idea. Gemstone has "house" organizations that are known for running events for their fellows. The annual Aspis House Barding is one of the most famous. What I'm trying to promote is a similar sense that customers can create and enjoy events they have organized and brought off themselves. Soooooo... please be thinking of what you'd like to do. An event proposal needs to list the players who are participating in the actual mechanics of running it (ie, the auctioneer and the item collector, or the judges and moderator for a barding), who the ONE contact person is for the event, a description of the event, and what GM involvement you need (3 prize medallions for our bardfest, and announcement in the news). Oh, and WHEN it is would be nice, too :> I'll be announcing a contact email as soon as one is set up, so don't send the proposals yet... just be thinking and preparing them. Please feel free to ask questions here. This is something new for us in DR, and Verac and I will be fielding questions about it here. Meriel

By the way, anyone Olvi who wasn't there, Phangor produced and enacted quite a performance. With his permission, I'm going to transcribe the... what would you call it? I'm stuck on "performance" ...transcribe the performance and post it here, seeing as it was well done, veeerrry funny, and involved three wonderful Olvi. I'll work on that tomorrow.   Far as the party goes, I got to chat with Fizzia and Phangor a bit after the wedding, and we tossed around some ideas. Still looking for more! One thing to think about is, not that we need an excuse for a party, but a theme could be nice. Does anybody know if Glythetide has an annual holiday, and if it's celebrated in the Realms already somehow? Or we could welcome in the Spring Season, but if it becomes an annual party, understand those annual parties could seem a lot quicker than annually if you catch my drift. Although maybe that's not a problem. Ideas folks? --Mykk

Category  Eleven Races (28) Topic     Halfling Happenings (5) Message   Olvi Politics (50) By        NORTHWIND@PLAY.NET (Mykk) On        Apr 12, 2000 at 12:35 Zaulwen, Olvi politics, huh <g>. Let's see... First Thain was Squirt, second Thain was Rascalt, third Thain is humbly myself, Mykk. Back in Squirt's tenure, there was a time when anyone and everyone jumped in and grabbed a title for themselves. No way I can remember them all, but it was all in good fun. For instance, Fizzia I believe was the Gardener of Arthe Dale or something like that. Phangor was Mayor during Squirt's tenure, and I believe the division went something like this. Phangor, as Mayor, was actually responsible for running Arthe Dale, doing the day-to-day operations and such. "Thain" was more of a "titular figurehead" (is titular figurehead a real phrase, or is my mind making things up?). I kind of see Thain as being a figurehead for all Olvi; as such, I spend my time trying to spread Olvi goodwill, and basically trying not to embarrass myself in front of non-Olvi. (I'd like to think I can embarrass myself completely around my Olvi friends, and they would laugh and forgive me!) So where does all that leave us? I like my title of Thain if nobody has a problem with that; Rascalt took applications from volunteers and chose me, lucky me. I honor this title more than anything else Elanthia can offer me. Rascalt remains a respected figure as a former Thain. Phangor recently threatened all Olvi by saying we should see a lot more of him now ::poke::. I'd be happy to re-appoint him as Mayor, especially if that means he would do all the work and I would get all the glory, ha-ha! The only other appointment I'm really concerned about at all was a long-standing position of Sheriff. The previous appointment was Danner, who I see still pops in and out, and still maintains a knoll in Berry Knolls. I believe in longevity, so would give him first shot at still being Sheriff if he would like. I'd love to hear from him on this, if anyone knows who could ask him. I'd be more concerned with a Sheriff, except I believe in peace and non-interference. In time, though, I'd like to see that position filled. Also, thanks to a non-Olvi of all people, I'm feeling like I should be more in touch with the Gods of Elanthia that pertain to Olvi, so perhaps would like to see a spiritual leader of sorts, and would personally look to Gabela for guidance in this. In summary (yes, I always seem to be long-winded, and drinking only makes me worse!), I'd like to think we're all for anything that pulls us together as a race. If someone would feel more a contributor to Olvi by filling in a position they'd like to see, I'm all for it. Titles, parties, speaking Olvi to each other when about the lands, it's all supposed to be for bringing us closer together, and that's what it's all about, right?! As for your question regarding "Thainish etiquette", umm, I think it's a law somewhere that when you see me, you're supposed to give me a drink and food if you have them! Yeah, that's it! Other than that, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say. I enjoy my hunting trips, but am not a great hunter, and never really fit into the guild sructure of Elanthia. My guild is Olvi, and my enjoyment comes from seeing Olvi get together and have a good time. In your service, Mykk Dalys, Thain

Yeah, the "poof! you're mayor" thing was supposed to be funny. I might've thought of something more ceremonious, but a) Phangor was already Mayor before, and b) well.... it's Phangor! <g> You don't have to worry about ol' Mykk and authority. I'm all about individual freedoms! Not even sure how I landed this job, I think my Papa and Uncle thought I should become more "responsible", and pushed for my nomination. My Uncle might think it will lead to increased sales of the Dalystovski Dalasian wines, who knows. My foreign and domestic policies hinge on peace and non-interference. There was a time, for example, not too many years ago, that various political leaders thought to formally acquire Arthe Dale under Crossing/Zoluren leadership, and even wanted to base a military headquarters in Arthe. I was on the record at that time vehemently against the movement, which thankfully, died and/or didn't include the Dale. I never got around to a formal Inauguration ceremony, but my "acceptance speeches" such as they are, are still stuck to the wall around the community house somewhere... [#21 & #22]. Keep your ears open, though, there are rumours of some kind of gathering in the works. We keep missing each other in the community house! Tell you what, Zaulwen, after the Ice Fest what say you and me (and any other Olvi friends!) get together for a beer. Until then, At your service, --Mykk Dalys, Thain

Ai, I hope I'm not in the doghouse for not checking up on you, see if you were going to Rascalt's party or not. I brought your name up as someone I thought would be there if you could, but also said you were probably still on Aesry. Anyway, I'm glad you found our little spot in Arthe where Olvi messages are sent and received from all corners of Elanthia. Ever wonder where all the Olvi moon mages are? They're gating our mail for us <g>. Party summary.... awesome, awesome, awesome. A big Huzzah to Rascalt for single-handedly organizing it. Gods know I enjoyed myself, although it gets fuzzy towards the end. I remember my shirt getting so soaked by egg yolk that it was just saturated, yet my partner Fizzia and I won the egg toss competition? At some point we went to Rascalt's knoll, but then, and here's where it gets a little fuzzy for me, I was at Phangor's knoll. Next I looked out a window, it was daylight. I thought I'd like some fresh air, went for a walk, ended up at the Shrine of Saemaus, where I believe I finally passed out in some fine summer shade! Okay, that was more of a personal summary, but you get the idea. Special mention goes out to Teminesca for sharing with us all a great story. I was still pretty sober at that point, and I still don't know if it was a story she knew, or one she improvised on the spot. I mean that complimentarily, of course, it was really very good. Also found out that I was wrong in thinking I knew a lot of Olvi. There were more Olvi there I hadn't met before than those I had. ::goes down Griffina's list:: Actually, I've been gathering some tidbitty info on Olvi lately, when and where I can. But honestly I'm trying to put it together for a, oh, I don't know, trivia-thingy or something. As for good Olvi stories, well, off the top of my head I can't think past Rascalt's party and Teminesca's story! ::laughs:: Next party? I have *no* idea. Frankly, between the Ice Fest and Rascalt's party, I'm ready to go out and make Elanthia a safer place for all adventurers (read: hunting trip!). But next Olvi party someone organizes, I assume we'll hear about it here. At your service, --Mykk Dalys

First I would like to thank an honored guest for coming to visit us, Hegemonic Blessedbe, Marshal of the Stone Clan Militia. Welcome, and enjoy the pleasures Arthe Dale may provide you. Hegemonic, while chatting with some of us Olvi, asked: <<Why don't you guys regularly meet and stuff. Halflings seem very proud to me of what they are. Would be nice if all the smaller races showed up the taller ones by having all of them holding regular meetings. You even got a great place to do it in Arthe. Just curious>> This question got me to thinking, so I'd like to offer my opinions only. Opinions. I think we Olvi are a proud race. And Glythtide knows we've got a great place to live in Arthe Dale. But I think we're also a confident race--I don't need to "show up the taller ones" because that suggests, to me, an inferiority complex that I don't have. I love being Olvi because I love being Olvi. If other races can appreciate our idea of living well, I would be flattered I suppose, but wouldn't get any more or less gratification. Whew, hope I'm making sense there. My next point, Rascalt made for me: <<Meetings are boring>> I see meetings as something done more out of necessity. Otherwise, why split time between "party nights" and "meeting nights"? Might as well throw a party, and if there's stuff to be discussed great, but either way--you got the party! ::laughs:: I also see Olvi really appreciating personal freedoms, and the idea of weekly meeting seems... well... soo.... ORGANIZED! ::grin:: Strict order seems more the providence of our Dwarven friends, perhaps? Hegemonic, thanks again, feel free to visit us or drop us a message anytime. It's great to share our "little corner" of Elanthia with such fine neighbors as those of Stone Clan. --Mykk Dalys, Thain, and a big fan of Ironhill for his craftsmanship

Category  Eleven Races (28) Topic     Halfling Happenings (5) Message   FYI: Olvi/Dwarf/Gnome heights (repost) (77) By        NORTHWIND@PLAY.NET (Mykk) On        May 10, 2000 at 23:57 [I'm reposting this from the Gnome boards, actually. Was from a while ago, just happened to find it tonight. --player of Mykk ps: this counts as my "Olvi tidbit", Griffina, and btw, who is GM-Talisker?] **************************** The average adult Halfling is shorter than your average adult Dwarf, but there are short Dwarves and tall Halflings and there is a fair amount of overlap. My own impression from the information that I have access to (take that as a disclaimer, obviously) is that there is much less overlap between Halflings and Gnomes, with the shortest of the former being roughly in the same range as the tallest of the latter. Notice that I didn't say "no overlap." There are some Gnomes as tall as Halflings and some Halflings as short as Gnomes, it's just that there are not a statistically large number of adults of either race who fit those categories. Take some Gnomes, Halflings and Dwarves, throw sheets over them and you'd be able to separate the Gnomes out pretty easily based on height alone. Halflings and Dwarves would be a little trickier (again, based on height alone) to distinguish from each other, but you'd get it right a large percentage of the time. Add in the rest of the shape & you'd get it right almost all the time ;) GM Talisker, DragonRealms Staff

For those of you who do not read the Talk to Simultronics folder, and to help organize Olvi-specific information in one place, I'm reposting race-applicable information from DR-Talisker's GM Announcement in the Talk to Simultronics folder. For information regarding all the new ASSESS changes in place, see post #36 in said folder and also in-game ASSESS HELP. --player of Mykk, who will appreciate not having to quickly look at every character in every room looking for people who can talk Olvi! Side note: pretty cool messaging even when you are not looking for a specific race. ************************** ASSESS RACE [silently] - race of people in room. ASSESS MY RACE [silently] - others of your race. ASSESS OTHER RACE [silently] - people not your race. ASSESS RACE <race> [silently] - first person of that race. --These options can all be followed by SILENTLY to suppress messaging the room. The first three have limits (of 10 people, I think...maybe some have a 5 person limit) and when you hit them, you'll get the message: You lose track of those in the crowd have already looked at. This was a measure put in place to limit the resource-intensiveness of the options (like the RT). Read that carefully. It's an absolute limit, put in place at the request of the tech folks, and it's not likely to change anytime soon. Deal with it :) The last only finds _the first person and only the first person_ of the chosen race, and if you look at too many people searching for that first person, you'll also lose track of who you've already looked at and stop. The messaging to others for the race options is: Talisker studies the faces around him. But following it with SILENTLY will mean that no messaging at all is given to others. As a tip, typing ASSESS RACE S will not do it silently, it'll interpret it as ASSESS RACE S'KRA. So might want to get in the habit of typing SI if you don't like people knowing you're doing it.

I have a friend named Rhylis who seems to have a halfling's soul in a Gor'Tog's Body..."Good drink good smoke, Rhylis happy." If he can find the place, anyway.

Category  Eleven Races (28) Topic     Halfling Happenings (5) Message   Mayor's Office Report! (97) By        PHANGOR@PLAY.NET (The One & Only) On        Jun 3, 2000 at 19:52 Hello dere folkses! Arthe Dale continues to flourish. We've had a recent population boom, what with the lovely silversmith and glassblower Kymme and Derque, visiting our lovely inn! A few weeks ago I brought them to our village and they performed their services for a few lucky folkses! I even gave them free room and board at the inn. If you should happen to see them walking about, tell them I said hi! They are nice peoples. This month we will be starting a new campaign! We are going to try and get more Olvi to move into our neighborhood. I have taken a survey of the knolls still available in our town, and here is the status report: Loganberry Place - We have one knoll available here, and just east of here a little ways is an abandoned hillock that is available fer rent. Strawberry Way - There is an abandoned knoll by the strawberry pots that is available fer rent. Olallieberry Circle - This is the upper class section of town! We have an abandoned knoll just east and southeast of my own knoll! Hurry and get this one if ya can, it's a doozy of a space! Boysenberry Crest - There is a lovely grassy knoll available on this road. Blueberry Lane - What has happened here!? This is a wonderful lane to live on, and there are 2 grassy knolls and an abandoned mound available. Also, south of these homes there is one open knoll, for a total of 4 on Blueberry Lane. Gooseberry Loop - I know, I know. This is the most unpopular place to live. It's all a bunch of dried out knolls. But you know what? They are still homes, and there are plenty available! When you come upon the first path, go down it. In that section there are 2 dried knolls available. East of there are 2 dried knolls and an abandoned mound. And finally east of the abandoned mound are 2 more dried knolls, and one abandoned knoll. Don't ferget! What makes the Berry Hills Estates (Heehee, my own clever name!) such a special place to live is because of alllll the yummy berries available. Why, whatever lane you live on, you can pick those berries! Live on Strawberry Way? Well just mosey on over to the strawberry pots and get some deeeeelicious berries. Maybe you live in Blueberry Lane? Well then, there are plenty of berries just growing around you, pick some! As always, I stand ready to help the people of our village. If any of you Olvi have had yer Estate Papers for 90 andu, and would like to move in but don't have the money. Give me a holler. I am more than welcome to try and help fund yer lovely knoll. (Just the moving in fee, I can't buy you furniture, silly!) That's it fer now. May yer bellies always be full of tarts and juice! - Mayor Phangor -

Category  Eleven Races (28) Topic     Halfling Happenings (5) Message   Quick hello (98) By        NORTHWIND@PLAY.NET (Mykk) On        Jun 14, 2000 at 17:14 Hello all! It's been quiet in here lately, thought I'd throw a post out there. I am not going to Simucon, so figure I'll just play with the couple hundred people who are left on-line this weekend <g>. (And it better be lag free...) I have heard a viscious rumour for those of you headed that way, that Phangor will be performing his "Phangor and the Tartlets" live... and maybe even taping it... Whew, that should be... hilarious! As if I needed another reason to mourn not going this year. When you all get back, I am going to try to have a meeting of residents of Arthe Dale. This would include any Olvi who considers Arthe Dale their home, whether or not they are knoll owners. Also want to say thanks to Zaulwen, who took me up on my offer to have a drink together. I recommend him to any Olvi looking for fun and adventure. Anyone else want to get together for a drink? Leave a message, or find me in-game, I'm (still) haunting Arthe. --- aka Mykk, Thain of Arthe Dale

I'm not an expert yet... but given another month or two, I intend to have a comprehensive and hopefully fun collection of Olvi-related info. Then ideally a website. In the meantime, for in-game questions, please look Mykk up! He's reachable around Arthe and Crossing by gweth, and makes himself pretty easy to find in general. OOG, drop me an email at: arthedale@email.com I'll answer any questions I can, or will help with any research. Hope to see you soon! At your service, Mykk Dalys, Thain of Arthe Dale PS. To anyone out there who would send me Olvi-related info, please do! When I finally get a sizable chunk of information, I will see that it gets posted to the web one way or another, and announce it here. Also, any webmasters out there who could recommend a good hosting service? My needs are small--willing to pay up to $20/mo, 10MB would probably be plenty as I'm going for text info, not the fanciest website. Allowing 2 small websites/domain names on 1 account would be a plus. Personal cgi bin preferred. Thanks everyone!

Actually, to give credit where credit is due, there is a decent website for Olvi out there already: Snarfy's Halfling Hole: http://www.cornhusker.net/~deboert/index2.html Nice graphic of a smokering-blowing Olvi, great picture of a knoll (though I'm curious where the roots of the tree go)... oh, and some practical stuff too! <g> Some of it is Snarfy's opinions, but he says as much. In particular, though, I would recommend going to his "Halfling Lore" section, and reading through the four links there. If there are other sites out there, I'd be interested in seeing them. I know of 2 others that seem halfling related, but when I get there, it's more like the character is a halfling, but the websites' focus in not on the Olvi race. --aka Mykk (and if I forget to sign "player of Mykk" or "aka Mykk", and the post is OOC, my apologies, but so it goes, right? We Olvi are a smart bunch, we'll figure it out LOL)

The haven olvi tend to be thinner than the Arthe Dale type, I believe.

Boy oh boy was I nervous. I'm sure most people noticed that as well. I apologize to anyone who couldn't hear what I was saying, I think I muffled almost all the words. I had a friend who taped it and I hope to see it soon. For those who didn't attend, what I did was dress up as Phangor, and had two "girls" with me to sing a song. Well, one girl was a real girl (a player from GS) and the other was the Bard Issus dressed up as a girl. Heh! Ask someone who saw the skit to describe Issus to you, it would be appropriate for the boards. <grin> Also, we used spirit gum to put hair on our feet, which turned out REALLY well. When the skit started, I had a the actual girl on my arm and went around the tables very elegantly. I was throwing gold coins at people (actually foil-covered chocolate coins) and the girl had a plate of tarts. When I went to grab a tart, I accidently flung one on Larisah, which got a bunch of laughs. I then shoved a tart in my mouth and could barely eat it all by the time I had to sing. LOL For those who couldn't understand what I was saying, here's the lyrics: Who's the halfling guy who's never seen a thing he could buy? (Phangor!) You're damn right. Who's the man that can eat 10 tarts with just one hand? (Phangor!) Right on. Who's the little halfling brat who's got tons of cold hard plats? (Phangor!) Can you dig it? They say this cat Phangor is a bald motha- (shut yo mouth!) I'm only talkin' about Phangor! (Eat a tart now!) He's a fiesty trader-man and no one understands him but his money! (Gold coins!) And there you go. The evening in a nutshell. I hope those who saw it enjoyed it and laughed. Maybe next year I will have lost my nerves. <grin> - Ben/Phangor -

As you may know, I'm not a big one for meetings, but I have an issue that concerns Arthe Dale and the Olvi community, and I need some input. Now, rather than pick a time for this meeting, what I am going to do is make myself available for a 2-3 hour time period in Arthe, and any Olvi who can make it during that time, well, I'd sure appreciate getting some opinions. No, I don't wish to post my concern here at this time, for reasons I think you would understand if we could talk about it in person. Should I not get significant input during my "office hours", I will reconsider posting the issue here. It's important we handle this expeditiously, so Mayor Phangor, please make the arrangments as soon as feasible. Hopefully I will see some of you soon! Anyone who knows they will not be able to make it, (ie. our island-dwelling brethren), feel free to contact me through the normal channels. --Mykk Dalys, Thain of Arthe Dale

We will be holding the meeting this Thursday, June 22nd from 9PM eastern until 11 or 12AM eastern. Mykk and I will be in the inn in Arthe Dale to discuss current events, and how us Olvi can help be a part. This is not a normal "meeting" per se, but rather we are making ourselves available as Mykk said. We will be just hanging out in the inn, and if you'd like to come discuss just about anything with either of us, we will be there for you guys. :) I hope to see you all there!! - Mayor Phangor -

I'd say you, Griffina, Grayrn, Tiffins... and probably some Olvi hunters that have long since stopped hunting the places I go, LOL! Usually I try to head out to Surleanis for the winter, but with all the events going on here on the mainland, I've been hesitant to leave Arthe... For the meeting tomorrow (Thursday) night I'd like to stress that it is an "office hours" style meeting. That means if you show up for 10 minutes at 10:35pm, that's as good as showing up at 9:20pm (9pm-11pm eastern time). Since Phangor and I are just looking for some Olvi input, some of you can spit out an opinion in 2 minutes, the more long-winded of you (like me) could take all night--totally up to you. An Olvi-style meeting, I say, with an open buffet sponsored by the Arthe Hollow Inn! --Mykk

Category  Eleven Races (28) Topic     Halfling Happenings (5) Message   Road Trip/Olvi Party! (112) By        NORTHWIND@PLAY.NET (Mykk) On        Jul 7, 2000 at 21:20 (Out of necessity, the following is OOC and IC... you can sort out which is which <g>) Greetings fellow Olvi! Well, well, well, where to start. A lot of us residents of Arthe Dale consider Stone Clan to be somewhat of a sister-city. And we all know (or you should know) that they have been under a lot of duress lately. And it's winter, and it's cold, and there they are, besieged in their own homes in the mountain, doing their part to save Elanthia. So what better way to help them out than a little ale in the belly, eh? So after discussing their situation a while back at my first "office hours", we decided it's time for a.... ROAD TRIP! That's right, we'll be gathering up the wagons and supplies this upcoming month (1 week real time), then will head out! We've dispatched a messanger to Stone Clan, and initial response is favorable. We will be gathering in Arthe Dale around 8:00pm eastern time on Sunday July 16th (next Sunday). Then we will make the trek northward to party with some dwarves! They have a meeting at 8pm, so we should hit Stone Clan around 8:30ish. If you're late, better late than never, but I think it would be fun to travel north as a group. Some things to consider. One, is that I've heard tell that the dwarves aren't really the great drinkers they make themselves out to be. Sure, they'll throw a 40-keg party, but the way I hear it, they spill 20 kegs worth. So be easy on them. Do you know what I think would be interesting? To see who the last partier standing is, Dwarf or Olvi <g>. Tell your Olvi friends and neighbors, I would like nothing better than to bring more people to their "house" than they can get to show up. We've got roughly 6 confirmed partying Olvi, with another 6 maybes, and who knows how many more. More the better, but we'll have fun no matter who shows up! That's it for now. I'll keep everyone as up to date as possible on the boards, but am also resurrecting an old Olvi mailing list. If you prefer your news by email, drop me an email at my play.net address above, and I'll get you on. At your service, Mykk Dalys, Thain of Arthe Dale PS--I'll be out of town this weekend, will respond to messages Sunday night.

I've been doing a great deal of reading in the local libraries (not much else to do in Shard at night...), and I've found books on Human History, S'kra History, even Gor'Tog! There seems to be a lack of Olvi history though. Yes, there's the Arthe Dale story, but that doesn't really trace back very far with our people. Yes, there is the story of the Western bands, but I, for one, am of the the Eastern heritage. Just curious if anyone here had some insight on literature relating. Also, can't wait for tonight!

(135) By        NORTHWIND@PLAY.NET (Mykk) On        Jul 19, 2000 at 23:20 It has been 362 years, 56 days since the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer. It is the 2nd month of Ka'len the Sea Drake in the year of the Emerald Dolphin. A non-descript young halfling man runs into the Arthe Dale Community House and tacks a parchment to the message board: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Every day around Elanthia, there are great Halflings, Olvi to make us proud. On the 44th day, 362 years since the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer, the following Olvi gathered together. They braved a blizzard on a cold winter's day to guide to safety a caravan laden with furs, timber, food and drink for the Dwarves of Stone Clan. Their generosity of time and talents will never be forgotten. That night, they were rewarded by a fine, fine party of Dwarves and Olvi exchanging traditions and goodwill... *lots* of traditions... and good will... I know the Olvi brought some warmth into the mountains that day and night. I know this because I look outside my knoll 12 days later this second month of Ka'len the Sea Drake, and it is springtime in Elanthia. I've never been so proud to be an Olvi as I was on that night. The Great Olvi Roadtrip: Auriol, Blosim, Eadain, Fizzia, Gabela, Griffina, Hipcrey, Mossyoak, Kesstrell, Mykk, Phangor, Rascalt, Ravishing, Venillya, Zaulwen, and Zincir. OOC: If I've missed a halfling who was there, someone please tell me. I'd rather feel stupid for a little while and have everyone who was there accounted for than not. Thanks!

Priestess Kristabelle was kind enough to seek me out to share one of her recent visions, and it goes as follows:     "You see a peaceful village filled with halflings, each seemingly dedicated to the profession of the Empath. From nowhere, a rising tide of molten lava sweeps down over the village, completely obliterating its denizens. The final, terrified wail of the villagers is all but drowned out by the sound of insane laughter." A powerfully evil vision at that. I have only one theory so far. I believe this is a vision of the past, based on the history of Sicle Grove. I asked Kristabelle where she had this vision, and she confirmed she was north of Kaerna, which would put her in vague proximity to Sicle Grove. If this is a vision of the past, sad as it is, it is better to mourn than... the alternative. If anyone else has any insight, please let us know. Thanks again to Priestess Kristabelle for her concern for our well-being, and thanks to Marshal Hegemonic for helping arrange the meeting. --Mykk Dalys, Thain

Category  Eleven Races (28) Topic     Halfling Happenings (5) Message   Meetings? (157) By        NORTHWIND@PLAY.NET (Mykk) On        Sep 23, 2000 at 15:07 This post is going to be a lot easier OOC, so there you have it. If you follow various news and gossip around the realms, you probably already know GM Cadaya was "promoted" to the Race GM. (Don't know if it's a "promotion", but we're still very thankful to have you!) We are all looking forward to any attention to the races we can get. One advantage, and the issue I wish to address here, is help with announcing times for meetings. Through the grapevine, I know this idea for Halflings comes up. My position on meetings is partly IC, partly OOC. IC, I've always thought Halflings weren't as disciplined as some races when it comes to holding meetings. (I take this from our penalty to learning discipline.) I like to think of our race as "footloose and fancy free." Why try to make weekly meetings when there are lands to explore, and parties to eat and drink at? Someone (even me) might suggest that instead of calling them meetings, we could call them parties, and I agree! But when the "parties" become a weekly event every Wednesday at 9pm... well, then it starts getting a little too organized for my tastes. It's my nature to play Devil's Advocate, although in this case, my "pro-meetings" stance becomes a little more OOC. With a Race GM actively working for us, we have an opportunity to gather more effectively. And I know from my friends and travels that the Halfling community is a strong one. We are not to be overlooked! (Heh.) So what I'd like to suggest/offer is this. If there are players who feel there should be weekly (or whatever) meetings, then we as a community should work towards that goal. It's funny--OOC I don't feel up to yet another DR obligation, but since I let Mykk pretty much do what he wants, he would certainly work towards holding them. Begrudgingly maybe, but as Thain, he would do whatever it takes. So if the players want meetings, what I'd like to see happen is someone else to pick up the torch and run with it. Know that Mykk and I will assist as much as we can. Phangor is very good at organizing things, I'm sure he'd help too. Or maybe run them, heck, he's Mayor ;-) My largest gathering to date has been to organize our first Olvi Road Trip Party, when we went to visit the Dwarves in Stone Clan. I was able to get a lot of Olvi to show up, and for that I'm eternally grateful to all of you. But I think part of it was that it was set up to be a "big deal." If I had to gather that same crowd every week, I wonder if some of the fun would be sacrificed, and people would start to think, Oh whatever, another meeting... I'm in Shard, forget it. I guess that's it. Short post as always, eh? --player of Mykk Dalys, Thain of Arthe Dale

(158) By        NORTHWIND@PLAY.NET (Mykk) On        Sep 23, 2000 at 15:44 Except for a couple posts, these Olvi boards have been pretty empty recently. And we don't have an active OneList/Egroups list for me to use as an excuse either! (We do have one, "OlviList", we just don't use it; I will try to copy this to the list, and if anyone responds on the list, I will copy it here for them.) Posts don't make or break the game for me, but here's a suggestion. If your Olvi character has a story to share, consider sharing it here! Doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just something to let us know what you're up to once in a while! Meli, how are things up in Theren working out for you? Phangor threw a tart party recently at the Crossing's Town Green. I could run through the usual list of Olvi in the realms I know of, but you get the idea. I'll try to start things off with one of my favorite stories recently involving Griffina and Mykk (I can see Griffina grimacing now, but really, she was a hero and just doesn't want to admit it!). Like I said, no big deal either way. Frankly, I think there are people who spend more time on the boards than in-game, which I find quite humorous, really <g>. I'm not trying to trade in-game experiences for a more active board. I guess what I'm saying is that unless you want the next 20 posts over the next three months to all be from the NORTHWIND account, you can't blame anyone but yourselves, LOL! --player of Mykk

I accepted, of course; I always like to explore new areas, never know what you might find. On our way there, we were joined by the Elf Besoro, so we decided to explore as a threesome. Lost Crossing involves a couple of things that I should mention up front: swimming and death spirits. I was told we would run through the haunted areas to relative safety. I didn't know how far we would have to run, though. Swim, actually, and Besoro's swimming skill left a little to be desired. With Griffina leading the way, we made it, although I was scared at how many spirits we passed on the way, and they all seemed hungry for our souls. In one room, there was a desk, and they told me I should examine it. It was sooo interesting, I was stunned for a full minute. Ha ha, very funny Griffina and Besoro! A couple rooms later, it was Besoro's turn to study an object and become stunned. Only we weren't as safe as we thought we were, and a death spirit came into the room! As fast as Griffina and I could charge, it didn't help Besoro in time. The spirit saw easy pickings, and too quickly, Besoro was struck down! I'm very pleased to say I successfully killed the dreaded spirit, although afterwards, I was shocked to find out death spirits are NOT the same as dark spirits. A lesson learned! ::Mykk sighs:: This was not a good situation for us, my friends. Deep in Lost Crossing is not a good place to die, not that any place is good, but getting help down there is wishful thinking. So after some debate, we decided Griffina would attempt to drag Besoro all the way out with myself following as best I could. Every room it seemed, one or two death spirits would advance on us, and Griffina would drag Besoro just in time. I would follow. A couple of times, we were engaged at melee, and had to retreat. However, in the thick of one "battle", I became separated from the group, and promptly found myself lost, and at a dead end with a grate. I could not open, unlock, or otherwise travel through this grate, and that's when the spirits started coming in. I hid, and watched as a third came in, then a fourth... Out of alternatives and hope, I moved north from where I was, and lo and behold, saw a ladder I missed the first time. I climbed it, and who would be there, but Griffina! That wonderful little Olvi lass, she not only dragged Besoro to safety, she actually had the courage to re-enter Lost Crossing to find me! She led me out successfully, and then still managed to drag Besoro all the way to the Cleric's Guild by herself. I'm still amazed. Griffina doesn't like this story. She feels guilty for taking me somewhere that really should've meant my death. Me, on the other hand, consider it yet another grand adventure in Elanthia. Besoro died, but we really thought the room we were in would be free of spirits. Griffina single-handedly dragged a dead Elf to safety, and actually came back to rescue me. That makes her a heroine in my book, and is the end of this story. Thanks for listening! ::Mykk smiles warmly:: --Mykk Dalys

I was so thrilled to learn this, and lotsa hunters are happy to let me have them as part of my tip. A'course, they usually also want to see the wonderful shapes that only we Olvi can create with the smoke. ::preens:: Marauders are terribly flirtatious. They're constantly comin after the girls, wanting kisses and such, and when we refuse, they try to kill us! They simply won't take "No!" for an answer. ::sighs:: I see a lot of Paladinish people up here, since ya'll know that it's a guild-based town. They have nice fluff here. If I could only wear the gorgeous cap I bought with my kitchen pot helm, we'd be in business. And do I have new pouches and places to stick things. Anyway, nearly everyone up here is wonderful, and very appreciative of the help I can provide. There are even a couple of people I don't even need to ask anymore if they need a touch, I simply spot them and touch. Saves my voice for screamin for help. Don't see too many people my height. Either it tires out our short legs to walk up here (which was the case with me, but then I cam up from Shard and commute every so often), or we're too free-wheelin to be here long. I adore Paladins, Courage is a wonderful spell) but some of them are so blinkin stuffy. Get this: I was actually bowed to. More than once. I didn't have the heart after that to tell them I'd rather have a drink in one hand and a tart in the other than a fancy ceremony like that. Oh well. I'll scribble up another note and send it on down to the Dale later. Meli da Meanie PS- Creepers and vines and marauders are quite nasty. Nearly everyone up here is past 25 or so trainings with their guild. if you're young, the free cigars aren't worth the deaths. There aren't always Clerics around.

Category  Eleven Races (28) Topic     Halfling Happenings (5) Message   Not a meeting in stone clan, it was a PARTY! (161) By        JBEATLE@PLAY.NET On        Sep 26, 2000 at 12:49 I nae a big fan of weekly meetings, mintues, action items, prompt start times, prompt dismal times, pomp and circumstance, and other such dreary nonesense. However, I LOVE the company of other Olvi, the exchange of stories, the inbibement of wonderous fluids, the taste of fine foods, the pleasures of sweet deserts, the feel of combs through the hair on my feet, and the smell of tobacco in the air. If any Olvi care to gather for that purpose on a more frequent basis, then I would be more than a little pleased to join in. Of course, I also LOVE the thrills and pleasures of going places never before gone (and surviving), see things never before seen (and surviving), hunting things never before hunted (and surviving), and learning things I never before knew (and surviving). So, fellow Olvi, I encourage all to experience the true love-of-life at an Olvi gathering or the true love of combat (on a right-sized scale) with on Olvi horde! Zaulwen, Barbarism in a more concentrated form and right-sized trouble in a right-sized package

I'm all for parties. But meetin's. I dunno...sumthing about that word makes me think of sittin in a hard chair fidgitin and squirmin when I'd rather be out explorin. Zaulwen gave me a good idea when he said: "Of course, I also LOVE the thrills and pleasures of going places never before gone (and surviving), see things never before seen (and surviving), hunting things never before hunted (and surviving), and learning things I never before knew (and surviving)." Zaulwen may be a barbarian in a wee olvi body, but he also has a ranger heart I see! If we olvi want ta gather and enjoy each other's company more, I say we do more stuff like tha Great Olvi Road Trip (heck maybe we can even invite some dwarves along sometime, as long as they promise ta keep their stompin to a minimum.) We could go on adventures and explorin parties, seek out new places (or old ones) take other olvi out huntin, and do interestin stuff like find them mysterious mushroom spoors or solve that annoyin maze in Tamsine's Rest. (Well, on second thought, ye might havta drag me kickin and screamin into that maze) Well, I think Lucky gave me some weird raccoon flu, so I'm gonna go hunker down in me bed again.

We came up with an idea to have a little block party in the knolls neighborhood. It would be a time to get together and have fun with your neighbors in the berry knolls! If anyone is interested in partyin' down, lemme know and we'll set something up. Sincerely, Mayor Phangor P.S. - If any Olvi are in need of a nice knoll, there are still plenty available. If you can't afford one, let me know and I'd be happy to pay for the deed to your new home!

Still planning on getting up to Theren with Mykk and friends soon for our "surprise" visit. Jeorgie, if you're listening, we'll try to pick you up on our way through Riverhaven. It's about as close to an "Olvi meeting" as we get. Any closer, and we'd have to call it a meeting! On the agenda for things we need to discuss is nothing--that's the point! We all just heard of a fun-loving sounding Olvi up in Theren, and thought she deserved a visit. So that's all we're doing, just traveling up for the sake of a few drinks, tarts, and cigars. You would be very welcome to join us, and Zaulwen is out your way, you should keep an eye out for him. --player of Mykk

Heck others gonna start thinking I'm good or something and wanna pinch my cheeks and pat me on the head. Ughh! I hate that. Anyways hope I ain't missed anything, and hope to see y'all real soon. On a side note I was visiting Taisgath with a Pally friend...gotta love them Pallies and those feelings...Anyways was there and exploring and studying. Seems that obelisk is spitting out some new clues and hints to something. I ain't of the Moonie mind so i didn't understand all of it. But it was something interesting to see. Even got to see a meditation done by a loonie with blood and everything. Frightened the beejeebers outta me, worse than them Spirits in the sewers. Tootles fer now!

(General Races meeting, Saturday 10/14 3pm eastern, Crossing Amphitheater, no portals etc.). Two things. One, is I expect to be there of course. Wouldn't mind an Olvi friend or two planning on going as well in case I can't make it, and would make a log. Two, do you players of Halflings have any racial-based concerns/suggestions I should try to bring up? (OOC Vision: The gypsy peers into her crystal ball and sees a bit of what the future might have in store for Mykk's player... She sees... yes, there are children present... The clock says 2:48pm, and Mykk's player is... putting a video tape into the VCR! He's booting up DR... wait, Mykk's player is getting ready to unleash a string of expletives! But he seems stymied by the children present! What's that he mutters? Something about being in Shard?

This will give people a chance to meet me and the Race Champions, and it'll give everyone a chance to hear some of the things we've got planned, as well as ask some questions. If you're interested in Racial Development, you should enjoy this meeting.  It'll be held in the Crossing Amphitheatre. Transportation will not be provided, period, so if you want to be there, make arrangements. We're giving plenty of notice.  This announcement will also be put in the Race News in the game, tomorrow.  Regards,   Gamemaster Cadaya

Prydaens get to choose markings on their fur, and rakash get to choose their mane stuff... Do you think its possible that we can just have foot hair added to our descriptions? Make it the same color as our normal hair, I think it would look really neat to have in a halfling's description: You see Rascalt Firetribe, A halfling He has brown hair that is loose, brown eyes, and brown foothair... maybe in the character manager you can give us the option of no foothair, different colored foothair, or you can make it long, short, curled, wavy, just like hair styles... and for us olvi who are already out adventuring.... You can set up a booth for us to go and get our foot hair styled for us. <g> Ok I'm done babbling and suggestiong for now... Fellow Olvi, Support me on this!!

Cadaya is the new Race GM, Fial and Rhook are our personal Race Gurus. If I missed anything after 3:30, then too bad for me I guess. I apologize for sounding negative on such a positive issue overall. I guess it's the fact that I assumed (correctly as far as I know) that if I didn't make it, we wouldn't have a single Olvi there. Then to have the meeting start late and be just an in-game reiteration of what I already knew on the boards, and not getting to at least say Hi to Fial and Rhook, was disappointing. --aka Mykk

Hope you don't mind if I respond to a few notes I've seen lately on one parchment <g>. Storyteller Teminesca-- THANK YOU for posting your adventure!!! ::cheers to Rascalt and Teminesca for being two great Olvi explorers:: And also, I just have to say, I love your voice. I could listen to you tell stories all day. Griffina-- Finished that little business I just had to take care of. Ready to do a little exploring with you again, and am still in Theren. Melindhra-- Get back from whatever business *you* are taking care of--I'm in Theren for gods' sakes! Karnian-- You go, Olvi! I love the Arthe Hollow Inn, and am a frequent customer. But unfortunately, like much of the Village itself, I don't come across many halflings who have a minute to talk. Actually, in the Inn I've only met *one* new Olvi I'd never met before. The good news is he was Maxstreet, an outstanding Halfling in my opinion. As for getting together, I can make the day you picked out, but not the time [Friday the 27th 7pm eastern]. A few hours later maybe. If I miss you this time, be it time, or the fact... I'm in Theren! (see above), I'd love to knock a few back with ya sometime. Watch out for Grandma's Tea too, it's got a bit of a bite to it. Okay, long missive, so I'll try to wrap up. Just wanted to also say thanks to fellow Olvi Fizzia and Zaulwen, had a great time at the fireworks! And before we went there, Zaulwen just couldn't grasp the concept of carving the jack-o-lanterns (hard to blame him), so Fizzia and I convinced him it was a sacrifice for Saemus. Zaulwen made said sacrifice at Seamus' shrine! On top of that, at the shrine we met Spartope the Dwarf, and yet another fine dwarf at that! He had the good sense to join us for our partying. Thanks for listening to me ramble, Mykk Dalys

I must 'ave just missed ya! I was in Theren for awhile terrifying the rams and wolves. <grin> I went further south to get some crocodile skins for a project of mine, and I am now heading back north to play with the rams and wolves some more. I hope to see ye and other Olvi friends about Theren sometime soon. During my recent adventures, I encountered an Olvi Bard in Riverhaven. I think her name is Kalpernia. She was a bit down as some of the twicelings were mocking her right size. She was irritated that they had the nerve to set their drink upon her head and joke that it was just right height. I cheered her up. I suggested that only a fool would trust an Olvi with their drink, let alone an Olvi bard. I told her, next time they set a drink upon ye head, snatch it up and guzzle it down! Then ask if they have more! That will teach them. With a smile on her face, she went on her way to take revenge upon the critters which last injured her. Woe be to them. Zaulwen

Halfling Ranger here.. is there anyway we could have a BIT more history done? Is that something our Champions are working on? :nudge: I started to write a character history ('bout time after almost four years. :cough:) and I could find NOTHING of interest in the books to use in my story line! I watched my RL hubby do a history for his S'Kra Ranger, and he has all sorts of neat stuff from clans to words in the S'Kra language. Will there be any history development for us short, hairy footed folks? Thanks for any responses. :) :nabs a tart: ~Tappuah Arah

Seeing as how every other race board seems to have a post or more from their Champion but this one and the S'Kra board, and I happen to know that the S'Kra Champ just can't post quite yet. Soo.. Fial, Rhook, where are ya!? ~Tappuah

I know we were all excited at first to get a couple gm's championing our cause, but you know what? If they never did one thing for us, halflings will still always be a great race full of great personalities and roleplayers. AND we'd be no worse off than before. So really we've got nothing to lose. What I'd recommend to anyone reading this folder is if you have any ideas of what they could work on, put them together and post them here. First thing they are going to do if they haven't done already is read the folder. Personally, I asked around for ideas from people, and pretty much the most I've got is "verbs for our feet." I assume you all mean foothair (?), since having feet isn't so race-specific <g>; in the meantime, get a footbrush ::wink:: As far as our racial history goes, of course it's on their plate, and probably near the top. Now, nobody is saying we can't contribute ideas towards that, too, so why not post any ideas? Personally, I've got 3-4 ideas (generic, not historical) for Halflings, and when I have time to put them down to my satisfaction, you'll read them here first! --player of Mykk PS Afterthought here--I'd rather see the gm's take a year putting out a quality history for us than throwing out a questionable, spotty history to pacify us.

I would feel worse off. :shrug: I personally really care about the history of *every* race, though particularly the ones that I am firmly attached to, such as the Halfling race. I would *love* to see DR end up with racial histories as rich, complex and fascinating as those of an old RPG called Earthdawn. <<PS Afterthought here--I'd rather see the gm's take a year putting out a quality history for us than throwing out a questionable, spotty history to pacify us.>> As would I.

I just don't want to see 20 posts (which would be 10% of our folder, heh) bashing the champions. (Of course, another way to prevent that would be for them to post, lol). I think Rascalt and I share a mutual respect, so I can "call him out" so to speak. That was like his fourth post about our champions in 3-4 days, each one getting more... poignant <g>. I'm worried that by post #7 or #8 he'd be organizing a Million Halfling March on St. Louis! <<"We're very passionate about our race and about the direction it takes, and would really appreciate it if someone could drop in and say "Hi, we're here, sorry we didn't make the meeting!

He does read the boards, though. Fial, I think, is also a pathie person- I'm pretty sure that I've seen the name bandied about on those boards. Since the Guild is feelin neglected ability and spell and attention wise, it may be a couple of weeks. I do strongly support the idea of us posting our ideas here. If all else fails, it might give them ideas to build off of. I know I would just get a heckova kick out of knowing that one of my ideas was incorp'rated into something this big.

All the champions are currently working on History for their race, and rather than release tidbits, we have all decided to wait till we have a finished product. This serves a two fold process. 1) It allows us to release it without the fear of having already contradicted ourselves in some tidbit we had already released. 2) It gives you a lot more information to sort through rather than trying to piece meal what will eventually be coming. It's frustrating I know - It's frustrating for us as we work on these to want to release things to you, seeing what we already have, and know the time just isn't right yet. As it's been said in the past, we chose the races we work on, so writing things like histories is a sense of pride for races we all call our own. We don't want to give you shabby work, anymore than you want it. Hang tight - I won't say "soon", or try to give you a rough date, all I can do is ask be patient - the wait WILL be worth it. Tribanin

I'd just like to see Rhook or Fial drop by and say, Hi I'm working on the history right now and would love to know what you think should be added in or something along that line. Rascalt, feeling the halflings are the only ones who have champions but no communication with them.

But as Rascalt said, Tribanin (thank you for posting btw) missed our concern, it's not about the history as we've all said we'll wait patiently for a quality history, it's about the communication. Tappuah worded this concern very nicely too, I'm not going to paste it again though. GM's aren't required to read or post on the boards, we know. However, if you're going to champion a race, wouldn't it make sense to read your race's folder? And if the two of them are so busy they can't post a hello, how much time will they have for Championing our race anyway? Just to reiterate my position, though, I'm still pretty non-chalant about the whole thing. My enjoyment playing halflings doesn't hinge on whether we even have champions or not. I truly think at this point it's just that the people who post here (and the lurkers who don't) feel a little slighted that we didn't even get a hello. --aka Mykk

Her knoll was the only knoll up for sale on Olallieberry Circle, and I don't see any of the other owners moving out any time soon. Active neighbors on her street include Phangor, Cloudcrest (a very honorable Dwarf and friend, living in Scryy's knoll), and myself. The potential for a neighborhood party just got better! On a personal note, Melindhra, I had a great time touring the available knolls in Arthe Dale with you, and I'm excited you chose to live where you are. Friends, Meli is a wonderful Olvi, and a Battle Empath of some reknown in places as far away as Shard and Therenborough. If you see her, please say Hi! --Mykk Dalys, Thain of Arthe Dale
