Rumors abound of a familiar red tricycle being sighted pedaling around Arthe Dale. Could this be true? Has he returned? And How will Gabela explain, the one tart a day period which she was subjected to? Let us all rejoice in the return of the Dale's first Thane and one of the greatest halflings to ever grace the realms. Squirt is back!

Don't miss the first Olvi gathering with Olvi Fial in the Common room at the Arthe Hollow Inn. Everyone is invited, but only topics relating to Olvi issues will be discussed. The gathering will start at 5pm ET on Sunday, April 15th. Refreshments will be served. No transportation will be provided to the gathering, that's what you have those 2 big hairy feet for.

<<The gathering will start at 5pm ET on Sunday, April 15th.>> As in, Easter??? Ai ai ai. I'd be there if I could, but it would take, umm... a miracle? I'd say save me a tart but look what group I'm talking to! Olvi topics huh. Hmm, how about Glythtide Gala, Sunday April 22nd (plug plug plug!). A little bird told me Arthe Dale should try to put a bid on the Seerah for our own personal Olvi use, I thought that was pretty funny. Rascalt's not the only one who has seen a little squirt around, that should be good for some gossip. Anyone who shows up should see if Fial has a new smoke image to teach you? Here's something--any thoughts on what we could do as Olvi for those Olvi who's worlds DON'T revolve around picnics and concerts? I'm looking for an Olvi Bard and Cleric to help us kick off the Glythtide Gala next week. I've talked with Gabela, she doesn't think she can make it. I haven't talked to the Elothean Cleric of Glythtide Starsha yet, but I swear she's Olvi at heart. And anyway, all races are invited. That's it off the top of my head. Ilityn and Noah, who I met at Melindrha's wedding to Tirsten last weekend (awesome Meli!), sorry I haven't been in game much this week, I've got family from out of town staying with me through Monday.

I want to extend a big thank you to Sister Taffei Snarfn'tart for offering to speak a few words at the opening ceremonies of Glythtide's Gala! Now, if there is an Olvi bard out there who would like to share a song or short story as well, I'm thinking it would make a nice addition to the proceedings. Thanks Taffei! --Mykk Dalys, Thain of Arthe Dale Reply |

<<So Squirt may make a come back.... Ponders Thane voted in by a landslide --SOIM>> Since I know Soim reads the halfling folder, I thought I would reply here and not in the Thieves Den: Gee, thanks Soim, I knew I could count on your vote! ::poke:: A few other points of interest, since I knew the topic was bound to come up sometime from somewhere: 1. If Squirt told me he wanted to be Thain/Thane again, I'd step down in a heartbeat. 2. The position has always been appointed, albeit sometimes self-appointed. 3. Since accepting Rascalt's appointment in November 1999, I've invested a lot of time in promoting Olvi interests. If you look at the return on investment in terms of # of players my actions made a difference to vs. time spent, it would be laughable if DR weren't such a fun and addictive game. However, in terms of the rp opportunities that were opened up for Mykk, the investment is priceless. 4. I spent a fair chunk of time at Fial's meeting yesterday making sure GM Fial, GM Morzy (new Olvi champion), and the other players present realize there is a large Olvi contingent out there who are not into picnics, concerts, or foothair beads, who are just as dedicated to their roleplay as the aforementioned group is, and that their opinions and efforts should be given just as much consideration. I try to look out for ALL Olvi interests, including as I see it, stat-halflings, combat-halflings (and other non-picnic goers), and fluff-halflings (not meant as an insult to the picnic goers). 5. The fluff-Olvi I know don't wear pink tights, as you suggested in a post several months ago ::grin:: A post I didn't reply to because even as you picked on "us", I sensed a mutual respect from you. Hopefully we still have that mutual respect, Soim, I know I'd be crazy not to appreciate the fact you chose the halfling race. --aka Mykk Reply |

Yea I read it everyday but rarely post or go to functions... No I am not a grouch but just twice bitten once shy now... Like Gabela who I am sure had 2 husbands she never would have dreamed would walk away from realms... I had 2 wives and lightning struck twice because they both left me for Asherions call. No hard feelings they even offer me to play AC... but they walked from DR and left me kell hauled... high and dry... Well Them single Olvi women can be auwfull sweet and I am to scared to melt so I keep my distance... Hmmm. I seem to be on a babble run... Back to the point... Yes I read here and yes you are a Excellent Thain but Squirt is a legand and always will be. as one I am sure he would not even ask you to step down... My comment on that board was more of one in jest and said in humor and not said as a insult to you... So you keep up the good work and I will keep avoiding the bedazzeling Olvi women for as long as I can! Soim Reply |

Okay, for the record, I talked with Squirt's player the other night and tried to get him to take the Thain position, and even proposed a good way it would work, and he wouldn't do it. Not that Mykk is looking to give up the position, just... it was Squirt, and I had what I thought would be a fun alternative. So, Squirt, we've been on the edge of our seats since a witness said you went overboard? I don't know exactly where the tricycle is now, but I remember it was found. Do we get a story? --aka Mykk Reply |

I just got this contract: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trading Contract Issued by: Dirge The guild office at Leth Deriel requires 19 barrels of pickled Halfling feet, to be delivered within about 8 anlasaen. The bearer of the goods and this contract will receive, upon safe and timely delivery of the merchandise, a payment in the form of the local currency. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You estimate these goods are currently worth 5548 Kronars on delivery. I don't know about you guys, but those Elves in Leth owe us a BIG explanation! I'll probably be cross posting this in the trader folder, but I think our champion should maul Godrich and Kaikyu first.

Shaunn, It is spelled as: Thain Thane, I believe, is a Norse word, and while we may like to envision ourselves at times as large, lumbering, viking-types (is that a clear visual?), we're probably better off with a word that sounds nice, but is different. Thus, Thain. As far as a story goes ... I'm trying to keep a low profile for the time being. When I feel myself worked back into society, I'll share what I've been through.

Hello everyone. Coming from the "better late than never" department, I offer you this summation of Fial's first Gathering from April 15, 2001. It's more heavily edited than my usual work, ie, I've smooshed Fial quotes from here and there into one place, left out a couple things I thought were repetitive, re-arranged the order, etc. Also, usual message board policy dictates not putting up conversations from GMs, but since it was a public forum, I hope I'm not stepping on any toes. If the post gets yanked, I won't cry at my keyboard (unless it gets me an RPA, heh), I'll just re-do a summary sans quotes. --aka Mykk *************************** FEET, FEET, FEET: TOE RINGS: Fial says, "not right now, but maybe in the future, for toes wearing stuff. Setting up a slot like that is very difficult." Fial says, "but we'll see." TOE WIGGLING: Fial nods. FOOTHAIR STYLIST "MERCHANT": Fial says, "maybe." WILL FOOTBRUSHES BE AVAILABLE AGAIN: Fial says, "yep." FOOTWEAR: Fial nods. Fial says, "sort of like an ankle adornment or legwraps." Fial says, "no one is saying you can't wear shoes or boots. even I have when it has gotten extremely cold to protect my feet. But generally I prefer my feet bare." Fial says, "but that's me." Fial says, "its an idea, will explore the possibility." POUCH WORN ON FOOT: Fial says, "noted, We'll look into it. Its a good idea." TANNING AND FOOTWEAR: Fial says, "could happen." Fial says, "we'll have to bring that up with the ranger folk." OLVI WHO WANT TO SHAVE FOOTHAIR: Fial says, "if we get a foot hair thing going on, that can happen. and Olvi who decide to wear some sort of shoe or boot, may have bald spots." Fial says, "where the footwear rubs off the hair." HUMAN GUARD AT ARTHE DALE VILLAGE GATE: Fial says, "well there's this problem." Fial says, "its hard to keep an Olvi guard there." Fial says, "everyone we have had keeps wandering off." SMOKING IMAGES: Fial says, "well I have this huge project I have been working on." Fial says, "its called alchemy/substances." Fial says, "Lots of pressure for me to get it done from all sides." CITIZENSHIP: To summarize, Citizenship is not Fial's domain, but I gather Citizenship is a work-in-progress, so as it stands, Halflings and/or Arthe Dale MIGHT get something someday. MORE SIZE-RELATED VERBS: Fial says, "good idea." Fial says, "I agree." Fial says, "unfortuantly most of the verbs are not my domain, so I have to get permission to fiddle with them, or ask to have them changed." Fial says, "and somethings seeming so simple are sometime not." FRECKLES: Fial says, "there are a couple new verbs in the works, which you should see shortly, that I think you will approve of." Fial says, "its possible" Fial says, "but the cream would be like the anti-beard cream." Fial says, "if you depart, it needs to be reapplied." WEAPON SIZE BEING RACE SPECIFIC: Rascalt says, "And for my last comment of the day, I've been plugging this with all the race champions and they LOVE the idea thus far... Weapons should feel different for different races, An ME should be HE for halflings, LE, ME, and we could have our own LE we share with gnomes, and our LE to togs and kaldar would be toothpicks, and 2HE would be like a 3 Olvi weapon." Fial snorts, loudly. Fial says, "can't argue with you there." Rascalt says, "Solomon said it was possible if there was enough interest." Rascalt grins. Rascalt says, "So I'm trying to spread interest amongst the race champions." Fial says, "but until something drastic happens with combat, I don't see it happening." Fial says, "but as soon as we can do it, I'll push very hard for it." Fial says, "The weapon thing may happen, but most likely not. Should of been that way from the start, and it would be very very difficult to change it. But I can't rule out the possibilty." Fial says, "its not likely to happen anytime soon, but if it does, we'll figure something out to make it fair." HALFLING QUARTERS IN EVERY CITY: Shaunn says, "Are there special quarters for Olvi in every major city? I know we're supposed to be everywhere" Shaunn says, "I haven't thought to look for it specifically" Fial says, "almost every city." Fial says, "you look around you will find some Olvi living there." Fial says, "may not be defined as like Riverhaven." RACE-RELATIONS WITH GOR'TOGS: Shaunn says, "I was wondering, the histories say we are supposed to be pretty close to the Gor'tog race, right? Like friendly and such" Fial says, "yep" Fial says, "but there's exeptions to every rule." Fial says, "hopefully there will be some more books on that in the libraries." Shaunn asks, "Is it possible for us to get some sort of special verbs in regards to them then?" Shaunn asks, "Maybe like wax their heads if they're sitting?" Fial says, "we will discuss it with the race team and Tog gurus." Fial says, "but good idea." OLVI SHOP: Fial nods. LANGUAGE AND HISTORIES: Rascalt asks, "Language and Histories... The dwarves just got their books, is anything in the works for us?" Fial says, "in the early planning stages." Fial says, "dwarves got that for a very good reason, which I can't dicuss here." REGULAR MEETINGS: Fial says, "Ok. we're going to try to have some sort of meeting or event every six to eight weeks, but don't hold it to me." NEW OLVI CHAMPION MORZY: Fial says, "Morzy is more on the events side, while I'm more on the coding side of things. Though we both cross the line some." FIAL'S PRIORITIES: Fial says, "about 80 percent of my current effort is on alchemy and substances. Until thats working, thats my priority." Fial says, "once that is done, then I can do more Olvi related things." MENU: On the tart cart you see an iced pitcher of cool taffelberry-flavored milk, a mushroom and bacon tart, a chocolate tart filled with cherry sauce, a creamy caramel pecan tart, a tutti frutti goblin warrior lollipop, a hogshead of chilled iceberry grog, a crispy taffleberry tart, a cherry tart dripping with gooey white frosting, a savory lobster tart, a sweet apple tart sprinkled with cinnamon, a candy troll-foot, a large ceramic tuilp-shaped bowl filled with frothy Tulip Julip punch, a sticky rum raisin tart, a savory venison tart with a spicy leek sauce in a flaky pastry crust and a savory sage and onion tart. LOOKS: GameMaster Fial Fadail, a Halfling. He has violet eyes, wavy dark brown hair with a white streak running through it that is loose, and dark brown skin. Fial has transcended time. He is in good shape. He is wearing a leather aventail, a leather helm, some gloves, some leather greaves, a chain shirt, a plain portable hole, a narrow braided leather belt with small flasks hanging from it, a journey pack and a gold badge. GameMaster Morzy Chudwuj, a Halfling. He has black eyes, thinning white hair, and fair skin. Morzy has transcended time. He is clean shaven. He is in good shape. He is wearing a pair of berry-stained knickers with bright red suspenders, a lime green linen shirt with purple pockets, a dark brown leather shoulder satchel with a gold buckle and a solid gold toe-ring set with a sparkling tart-shaped ruby.

>l lokta You see Magnate Lokta Dabou, a Halfling. He has green eyes, short thick golden hair that is loose, and fair skin. He is a daydreamer for a Halfling. The above is from a fellow Halfling looking at me. I had not ever heard the the term "daydreamer." I asked a couple non-Olvi, they both said I still looked young. ::sigh:: I was hoping to be in my prime before I left, but I suppose there is no prime for an Olvi. My INFO is as follows: Gender: Male Age: 35 Circle: -- You were born on the 37th day of the 6th month of Arhat the Fire Lion in the year of the Silver Unicorn, 329 years after the victory of Lanival the Redeemer. Maybe this isn't a surprise to other people, but it is to me. I started Lokta in October of 1996. He may have been a "daydreamer" for a while, since I've not really played for the last couple months. But I just thought I'd pass this along. Lokta Reply |

The variance in starting ages out of the character manager take a little of the fun out of it, but "Daydreamer" is definately my favorite "title" in the game! Interesting side note: someone explained to me, and it seems to be true, that you get the age-title Daydreamer on the YEAR of your 35th birthday. Mykk was born in the 5th month, and it still shows he's 34, but because we are in the Elanthian year of his 35th birthday, he got the title. Hope that makes sense, --aka Mykk Reply |

Thanks for the census as always, Fial. In light of our recent thread regarding age, can you pull a report on all (if not all, active then I guess) Olvi by age group? ie, 8% Daydreamer, 35% Kneebiter, 45% Whippersnapper, etc.? --aka Mykk Reply |
