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...

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...

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.

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.

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 |

Um, Fial, Can the Olvi hold a party for the Gnomes, they been getting a bit skittish and they need to be fattened up some. Me getting hungy,and they not worth the effort with all the skin and bones. I heard the Olvi could fatten them up with all their awesome cooked <gags> food, then they may be able to start getting their population up when they reach that healthy plump state. If they don't, they may fade away, and may have to go to my next favorite :-) But, got to say, Halflings are good too.. they got spunk.

First, thanks Cadaya for the History of Elanthia timeline, and any others who worked on that project as well. It's possible this information already exists, and I either haven't found it or have forgotten it, but does anyone know the origin of the halfling race in Elanthia?

One day Olvi will rule the lands and have the largest city. Whats out pitfalls? Strength. Wisdom Disipline Well Strength it's one of the fisrt stats I stopped trainning and I waited till 35. Most stop by 20 or 30. Wisdom and Disipline or not much use after 40 or so really now. SO we are nutral in charisma and Intel. Nothing wrong there. We get a perk in Stamina and Reflex, gotta love that. And a Double perk in Agality.

<<I have some serious questions. 1) Who is Squirt? 2) Is their a government of Arthe Dale already set up? 3) If so whose in charge? 4) Where can I find out more? 5) How do I take my place in the ranks? Sincerely, Caltrop >> Hello Caltrop, I caught the tail end of your thread in the Citizenship folder. No, we can't be citizens of Arthe Dale at this time, only Zoluren. This probably won't change, but you never know. First off, there's not all that many posts in this folder, probably the fewest of any Race folder. If you have the time, could be good reading for you if you want to get involved. Get to know some of what's gone on in the past, see some names, that kind of thing. Now, to try to answer your questions specifically: 1) Squirt = first Thain of Arthe Dale. Actually, I figure there were Thains before him, but he would be the first player-Thain of Arthe Dale, and he *did* originate the term, including purposefully twisting the spelling of Thane to be Thain, thus creating a sort of Elanthian term. Because he was the first, and beloved by all the old-time players, he is still the most famous Olvi and Thain there is, and will be. Legend status if you will. The second Thain was Rascalt, who passed the mantle onto my character, Mykk a year and a half ago or so. 2) Government. Depends on your definition. Of all the races, I feel Olvi (halflings) are the most independent and anti-government/anti-structure group of them all. It works for us. Doesn't work so well for getting us together at events, but that's just the way it goes. 3) Who is in charge. You might say me (Mykk), as the current Thain. There is also Phangor, the current Mayor of Arthe Dale. Again, read past posts for detailed explanations, there is a handful of them, easy to pick out by the post headings, too. "Olvi Politics" comes to mind. The caveat here is that these are arbitrary, player-created positions, and only hold what weight people who rp them will have. And personally, the one serious, underlying OOC/IC agenda I play with Mykk as Thain, is keeping Olvi a free and independent race. Sort of an anti-government government. I know that's contradictory, but like I said, it kind of works for us. 4) Finding out more. Read the folder. Start highlighting names on your list so you see them in game easier. Say Hi to a couple of them. One thing about halflings and their players, we have a good reputation for roleplaying. There are some stat-thieves who might not, but that's a given with any race. And actually, a lot of the so-called stat-thieves are good rp'ers too, I've found. Mykk tries to make himself very available to any Olvi anytime, though having spent the good portion of a real-life year in Arthe, I must say Mykk and I are both thoroughly enjoying our vacation on Aesry. 5) Taking your place. Well, up until not too long ago, there was another Olvi paladin named Eadain, who may very well still be around, not sure and haven't seen him lately. He also felt like he was the only one. He chose as his paladin-honor-duty thing to be a paladin of Glythtide and Arthe Dale. That was a fine path to take I thought for a halfling paladin. But it's up to you. You can be as active or as inactive as you want, and you'll still be "family". There are Olvi like Soim and Gabela, who rarely get involved in specific activities, but are awesome resources. There are others like myself who rarely miss a halfling-related event, I've even run a couple. But the cool thing is we all kind of look out for each other. --aka Mykk, not very good at short posts Reply |

::pokes and harasses Mykk, which is what she's good at:: Yeah, what he said, and this: According to in-game sources: We're for us, first, last, an always. The others wanna squabble over who owns the land, fine. When they finish killin each other over it, they'll find that they have Olvi tenants who settled there a while ago. We'd be able to take over the world, pretty much, but that's too much like work. By the way, work is bad, creating smoke shapes, drinking and finding new food recipies is good. We're spread out, Theren to Shard to Aesry. Oh yeah, and we appreciate nicely trimmed foothair. ::winks:: Melindrha ((Throw yourself into it, wherever you feel most comfy.

Houses and knolls are no more expensive in the Dale than anyplace else, 5 plat I think. Halflings consistently come in at 3% of the active population. There is SOME history available, but not a single history if I understand you correct. Goodnight, --aka Mykk (email: mykk@arthedale.com // aim: mykkdalys) Reply |

Thanks, and I've got a couple more about house. I guess you have to be a premium customer to get a house right? Now if you are, can you own more than one house. Say for instance could I have my true home in Arthe Dale and then my summer place on the islands?

You can only own one. Some people work around that a couple different ways. One, you can always get a second premium account, Simu will love you ;-) Otherwise, every house owner gets one key to give out to someone, which gives them access to your home. So you may have a knoll in Arthe Dale, and your wife might have a summer home on Aesry which you have a key to. But ultimately, one home per premium account. <<Oh ya, and where is the best place to get some tarts in the Crossing/Arthe region?>> Not sure, could probably get some more help on that one. I know of at least one food website now. My two favorite standards (chocolate and apple) are for free in the Arthe Hollow Inn in Arthe Dale. On Ratha I believe is an amazing selection. They are all over really. I tend to get mine at special events like weddings and such, then tuck a half dozen in my backpack for when I need a snack while I'm hunting. <<And Mykk is a good representative of the bunch. Even though he's starting to schmooze and scheme more and more like a Politician.>> Wow, I tried to cheer up the wonderful, beautiful (and single, guys ::nudge nudge::) Griffina last night, and THAT'S what I get??? I'll save my "schmoozing and scheming" for the Olvi lasses who will appreciate it then! I think Razzleberrie is still on Aesry.

Hey, I've been bugging everyone asking them questions and now I've got some more stuff to post about. I've got a friend whose a dwarf (at least he's not too tall) and hes part of the Stone Clan. They seem to get a lot more benefits cause they are in an organized group. I thought a halfling group of some sort would be equally beneficial. Not sure what it would be called or anything, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Also, I was wondering where everyone lives. I've got all the high level halflings highlighted but the only one I've ever seen is Soim. If you all live in one particular region I'll happily move to be with the crowd. Also, when are we gonna have another party in Arthe?? I wanna go to one pretty bad!! :::rubs plate covered tummy::: -Caltrop, Pally of the Tart Reply |

<<Also, I was wondering where everyone lives.

I run into the ones I know everywere. Still we are only like 3% of population and around 30% of us are thieves with a decent amount of empaths. So think like a thief or empath and you have a better chance of seeing more of us. Soim Reply |

There are 3 major towns you'll find halflings in. Crossing <check the thief guild, empath guild, and ranger guilds> Aesry <older halflings go there for vacations> and Arthe Dale. Arthe is swarming with them <g> Most of us have homes in either Arthe or Riverhaven as well. Check the empath guild, Dunshade manor, and deer trail in Riverhaven... In Aesry, the bank, the playhouse, Blood wolves, and Uyns, most are found in Uyns cause that's where we get our kicks <g> But like Soim said, most of us can't stand to be in the same place for a long period of time. Just ask my wife, I driver her up the wall <g> One day I'll be in shard, the next I'm in M'riss, and the following I'm up in Theren. She has decided she'll follow me around the mainland as long as its not Theren and she refuse to goto the islands unless I promise I'm staying there for at least 2 weeks <g> As for becoming an organized group... Not gonna happen... Unless you manage to bring plenty of tarts, and booze to keep us coming, halflings are much to free spirited to organize and meet on a regular basis, we prefer to have spur of the moment parties and just roam about. It was tried once, <snickers> failed miserably. Rascalt, Black Fox Locksmith Reply |

Greetings everyone, I'm going to stick with OOC, just easier. First, it's good to see and feel some Olvi enthusiasm coming around again. Just seems to be how it is (the ups and downs), but actually once you get used to the idea, it's pretty cool to not have to be "on" all the time. I still say we're a pretty free-spirited race, puppeteered by some pretty free-spirited players. As Rascalt mentioned, the idea of weekly meetings, while nice to think about when you see what Hegemonic did with Stone Clan, just don't work well for us. Dwarves=organization/groups, Olvi=wanderlust/individuality (in my opinion). I'm recently coming off of about a month-long break myself, due to a distinct increase in my social life, so no complaints there. Seems to have given me some new enthusiasm for the game and Mykk too, so it's all a good thing. When DR gets you down, take a break. You'll either come back refreshed or not come back, a signal that it was just your time to leave. Heh, going to be another long post, isn't it. I have two ideas I've been developing for us Halflings to get together and enjoy a little community spirit. The most recent one has to do with Griffina on Aesry. She's become an enemy, maybe even player-enemy #1 of some (GMNPC) necromancer Althiras working some bad-guy stuff (trying to kill Councilor Urdain) on the islands. He's killed her once, and threatened her life again. I happen to be good friends with the following Olvi all on Aesry right now (last I knew): Griffina, Fizzia, Hipcrey, Razzleberrie, Rascalt... and I think there are a couple others I've seen like Ascot that I don't know as well but are out there. I'm thinking it could be fun to come to Griffina's aid, and spearhead a Halfling Resistance movement on Aesry <g>. Naturally there will be other resources we can work with, our non-Olvi friends and the Iron Circle come to mind. Griffina doesn't know this idea yet, and she hasn't been online yet today for me to ask, but I'm sure she'd laugh and think it was great. The second idea kind of fell in my lap courtesy Bubbinster and the Official Order The Tavern Troupe. They recently held a raffle, where for a 2-plat ticket, you bought a chance to win a Tavern Troupe deluxe package worth at least 20 plat. Guess who won?!!! It comes with several songs, a play, even a custom song (or maybe play). While it's veeeery tempting to make them all come to my knoll to perform for just Fizzia and myself <g>, I pretty much have to share this, right??? I'm a patient person, so have been just kind of biding my time with this one, but the idea in first place so far is this. Basically, another Short-People's party with the Dwarves and Gnomes. Mykk has partied in Arthe with this group, and had a great time. Mykk's also partied in Stone Clan. What I'd love to see happen is for the Gnomish Village to get completed and released in-game, and use my free Tavern Troupe performance to celebrate this. If any Gnomes have any feedback on this, I haven't gotten around to posting in your folder, so I'm not sure if this event is around the corner or another year or two away. Those are my ideas, I'm always open for other ideas, especially when someone else like Teminesca takes charge and I don't have to do any of the work! Caltrop, you seem pretty into all this, I hope you stick around. As far as your question about the oldest and most powerful Olvi, tough call. Oldest in terms of how long the same player has played the same character, of active players, might be Squirt, but since he may have retired (again), maybe Gabela? Most powerful of course depends on your definition. Mykk respects Gabela maybe the most, and she's like the 3rd highest cleric in the lands. In terms of strength, it's gotta be Soim. In terms of combat, probably our hero Soim again. I was at Rock and Eyoni's wedding, and the Olvi Dseth won the no-rules combat tournament. Wonn is pretty high level I think, wouldn't surprise me if he didn't kick some butt. Tough for me to say, since I don't hang with the higher circle folk. Sorry for the long post everyone, --aka Mykk, aka Thain of Arthe Dale ps, just talked to Griffina, she's into us getting together, even though with GM-run events the coordination can be hit or miss depending on who is online, and also informed me Hipcrey walked on accident the other night :-( Reply |

Have to agree with mykk. The players who choose to play dwarves seem more suited for what we do, and the players who choose to play Olvi tend to be scattered all over. However, I've always thought about how the races would prefere to meet, and in my mind the wanderlust must give way to nostalgia time to time, and end up being a huge party were everyone decides to get together. Best thing I think in my outsiders opinion is to pick a day to get together every IC year, a day of celebration for whatever reason you all feel is Olvish enough to warrent it. That way ya'll can get together every 3 RL months and just pah-tay. Hegemonic Reply |

I should've avoided the question about who is the oldest and who is the most powerful Olvi, because lists are invariably incomplete. Just thought of Phangor and Danner as two very long-time players, I bet they are both "Trailblazers". Also thought of Snare in the "powerful" catagory, as a high level ranger. --aka Mykk Reply |

Well since we went OOC I'm gonna talk for a little while :) First of all I was wondering about what circle you are Soim?? Second, the parties sound great and the sooner the better. Third, what is the absolute smallest critter you can hunt on the Aesry? and last if the dwarven leader is reading this, you need to give Mahkrin a promotion or something. He is awesome, very kind to newbies. Now this last part is incredible long, so read at your own risk and don't operate heavy machinery afterwards. :) I think I've got a pretty good percpective on the game itself. I started playing 5 years ago when AOL had it for free. I played for about 8 months then. At that time all of my friends played and it was a blast. I played a halfling ranger named Pontas who was first level and had 70 ranks in longbow (back when you were a novice forever until you got 2nd level) I was around when Shard opened. :) That was fun. I think I take the award for first person to have their head squished by a gargoyle. Anyways when my friends quit I got bored and also quit. I came back somewhere in between then and now when I heard through a friend they opened a new continent. I played for about a month after the free trial, had a 10th level barbarian made to see the islands, never made it cause I got so bored. Coming back now I realized what made the first time so much more fun. My friends. So when I came back this time I decided to try something new, and to get involved in the game, not just level pushing. I'm having a blast. A lot has changed, and I'm looking forward to getting a horse. <grin> -Caltrop, Halfing Paladin Extraordinare Reply |

<<First of all I was wondering about what circle you are Soim??>> Not sure what bearing that has on anything but if you read all over boards then you know all about me, my skills and my stats. I am one of the most unsecretive players in game. I play and compete with myself. I don't fear who is ahead of me or better than me. I am not in a race or out to compete except with my own goals. Overall I am a happy player and I have fun and could care less whos is higher or badder. Why because I know I give 100%. See howe easy it is to play a game and have fun. Just stop worrying about everyone else. Except when thy try to steal your thunder or abalities beause they want to get something for nothing. Examples being able to see you hide whenever they want or protect thee pockets just because they want to. Sure there or skills to do that but some folks don't want to train they just want the silver plater pollished there way and placed in there lap... Well I am sure in a babbling mood today....

I'm not sure who has been a halfling longer, Martee, Myself or Phangor... All 3 of us were in beta I believe... but I didn't start Rascalt until about a week into beta, I had my Human Ranger to play the first week. My guess for oldest in terms of when we started would be Martee, Phangor, then myself. Rascalt, Black Fox Beast Reply |

Hunting on Aesry...hmmm. I wandered over to that island a while back and found my way into bloodwolf territory. There were a few bobcats mixed in with em. The cats were easy and I could handle a wolf... notice I said *A* wolf? swarm... bite... hurt... pain... death... back to the mainland. That was about 10th circle I think.

Bobcats/Bloodwolves are in the same area. Bobcats are about like cougars so no big worry there, but from what I've been able to find out ya need about 80ish evasion or so fer bloodwolves. I won't swear to that though since I don't hunt much myself. ~Zelaide, Gnomic Invader Reply |

The Gnomes of Shard would like to cordially invite our Olvi friends to a small concert and drinking song contest we will be holding on Sunday, August 26th at 6 p.m. EST at the Feasterie in Marachek's Oak in Shard. The contest information has been posted in several folders (including the Gnome's Gnook, Commuity Events, and Bard-related Events folders) and is available at http://www.geocities.com/elsbettek/ We hope to see you there.

Greetings fellow Olvi! Some of you asked, "When's the next party?" While I don't know of any Olvi-specific parties, there are a couple good opportunities on the horizen. I'd like to tell you about these now, I know I'm not the only one who appreciates a little advance notice. First, as you may have heard, Elsbette and the Gnomes are putting together a party in Shard. It's going to be August 26th, which is a Sunday evening, 6pm eastern time. I should be there, and have offered to help if I can. It will be held at Fayrin's Rest, and will be featuring a Drinking Songs contest for bards under 16th circle. There will be other performers too, but the contest itself is just for the younger bards. For more details, you can contact me, or wander over to the Gnome folder, I'm sure Elsbette would be happy to help you. Even if you're not performing, should be a good party! Second, and this is 7 weeks off, but promises to be big... I've hooked up with the Tavern Troupe to help bring to Elanthia "Woodstick", a 2-day music festival! It will be held September 21st and 22nd (Friday night and Saturday), location to be announced. I'll bring you more details as they come, but mark your calendars now, and don't say I didn't give you notice! In fact, Daerlynn has this little advertisement to pass along: ****************************************** We are seeking performers to audition for a large event coming up on September 21 and 22. Do you have an act you think audiences would enjoy? Have you a duet you sing? or a juggling routine? A dueling display? or perhaps a ritual you pray? Do you have a story to tell? or a play you do well? A dance or a stomp? or a limerick romp? Then make it a mission to come and audition posthaste without fail send an email! Seriously, if you have any type of act listed above.. or anything else (a magic show, a comedy routine, etc.), please contact daeriynn@aol.com to set up an audition time.

>First, as you may have heard, Elsbette and the Gnomes are putting together a party in Shard. It's going to be August 26th, which is a Sunday evening, 6pm eastern time. I should be there, and have offered to help if I can. It will be held at Fayrin's Rest, and will be featuring a Drinking Songs contest for bards under 16th circle. There will be other performers too, but the contest itself is just for the younger bards. For more details, you can contact me, or wander over to the Gnome folder, I'm sure Elsbette would be happy to help you. Even if you're not performing, should be a good party! ::Elsbette rummages around in her brightly painted wooden Gnomic message box, pausing for a moment before resuming her search:: I've had absolutely no one sign up for the contest portion of our event (did I mention there would be cash prizes?). So if there are any bards (or creative non-bards) who would like to perform a song in the concert or contest that evening please send me an e-mail. It looks suspiciously like we are going to have a concert and no contest. We have Xaphira (Elothean) who is scheduled to perform a song she wrote about the Gnomes, and Anliis (Gnome) who is working on a drinking song as concert performers. We're hoping for a nice mix of bards and people of other races at our party. Yes, we will be providing drinks and tarts. Elsbette Reply |

If, it wasn't hosted by the Shard gnomes, I'd be there, but I refuse to have anything to do with that group as a player, so Rascalt won't be making an appearance. And its nothing against you Elsbette, it has to do with comments other members made towards close friends of mine.

Yes, we have our first brave performer for the drinking song contest and she's a Dwarf. Syrath Bahlahnck, Dwarf of the Stone Clan is now signed up for the contest. Now are you Olvi going to let the Dwarves walk away with the contest prizes unchallenged? ::Elsbette leaves a trail of tarts and taffelberry aperitifs from Arthe Dale to Marachek's Oak:: Elsbette Reply |

We don't need prizes to know we are the best. We just know it. The dwarves can have their trophies, but they will never mean much cause they will know the only reason they won, is cause an Olvi didn't feel like wandering in.

No she isn't, but she looked the other way when the comments were made. I'm sure she knows exactly what I'm talking about. Kick Halfstaff out of the group and I still wouldn't want to be involved because of their lack of reaction.

I'm not sure what comments those were and I don't make a habit of getting involved in other peoples personal quarrels; especially when both parties involved so obviously lack the maturity to resolve their differences themselves. I will continue to invite Halflings to events we organize since I'm sure that most of the others who read this board have no desire to involve themselves in your personal quarrels either.

Don't think anyone will really know the difference but after 9 levels as the only halfling paladin, I've decided its not worth it. Its too hard to get my stats up. Halflings are ill suited for being Paladins. I have decided to switch over to a ranger. I think they have more to offer as a guild, and it makes more sense as a halfling. Besides Caltrop always had a thing for raccoons (not just in tarts). I'll see you all around, and I hope to make all those parties. :) (This is just so I feel like someone knows whats going on) :) -Caltrop Reply |

I'm sad you made this choice Caltrop, btw, you weren't the only halfling paladin, I know a few and have a 30+ one myself. Its a challenge, but once you hit 20th with a halfling paladin, man is hunting sweet... zero hinderance in heavy plate, PLUS halfling reflexes makes for an untouchable tank <g>

Someone told me the other day that there are tons of Olvi Empaths all over the place, and that they were starting to become a sizable chunk of the population (of empaths). Yay for us, but anyway, I can't think of more than a handful, myself included. I always just thought there were a few of us to heal the members of our race who suffer from HoJ and other such detriments of the racial pastime. If anyone could tell me who the Olvi Empaths are, I'd like to know. Off the top of my head I can only think of myself, Razzleberrie, Melindrha, Mingold and Martee. Could someone enlighten me, either here or email, I'd like to know next time someone asks me. (Which is actually quite often). Shaunn Reply |

Ya I was kinda depressed that I gave up, but I didn't really look forward to getting anything in the Paladin's guild after halt. They got rid of the completely working off the hinderance thing (at least not until super high levels) and frankly, I need instant gratification. :) I'm pretty sure patience isn't a halfling trait. Besides I get more verbs, and I missed being able to hide. I suppose now that I'm not a paladin I won't make a good sheriff of Arthe Dale so I'll have to find another position. Bother way, I got in a pissing match (can I say that?) with some high level paladin the other day who said he was the right hand man of the prince. I told him he had no authority in Arthe Dale and if he ever tried his pompous attitude in my town we'd take him out at the knees. Anyone know anything about this silly prince? Reply |

<<I remember Grayrn....he was a hoot....although I ain't seen em in a long time. --Griffina>> Grayrn was a fine example of one way an empath could make a name for themselves. Basically, he became a fixture in front of the Aesry bank. So much so that I knew if Mykk went to Aesry, he knew there was an Olvi welcoming committee. He could always count on a heal, and if anyone was in trouble on the island, Grayrn would grab a cleric and come running. Grayrn fell victem to the "different soul-same body" disease. A few months later, a new empath arrived on the scene named something like Grayren, with a personality remarkably like the original Grayrn's... However, I have not seen either lately. I IMed Grayrn's original player 1-2 nights ago, but the person got offline shortly thereafter without answering---awwwww ::sniffle:: --aka Mykk Reply |

<pop> There are some non-olvi who still have footbrushes, they sell for like a plat, otherwise just have to wait and pray that the footbrush merchie returns, which I'm sure she will. As for Olvi around Arthe Dale... If I could convince Royce to make the village an in town area you would see me there ALOT. But for now, I can be found popping boxes and carving picks <when I have keyblanks> in the halfling quarter in Riverhaven with frequency...

Being a Ranger and all I'm always in and out of Arthe Dale. (And I'm always water logged.) I try to keep an eye out for halflings, but as is the trend. We're few and far between. That just makes us a rare item, worth a lot more. :) (Some Halflings could count as antiques...) -Caltrop Reply |

<<Are their any halfling instruments?>> The description on the Syrinx in the bard shop on Aesry states that it's "a traditional Halfling instrument"... it's a wind instrument on the second notch of difficulty (harder than whistles, but easier than flutes) <<If I could convince Royce to make the village an in town area . . .>> I really don't think that's an issue. Royce has indicated that the Clans will probably become in-town... if that's the case (which is as certain as Royce's typical answers), then Arthe Dale is a shoe-in for being in-town.

I don't usually lick my finger unless theirs left over food on it. And I'm not saying that most of the halflings are old, I'm just saying that spectacles and a cane are necessary at a certain time in a halflings life. :) I know I've asked before, but who is the prince? The other day I saw an "animated" guard throw like six people in jail for speaking out against the prince. They don't like the new, no sales bank idea. Anyways it was pretty mean, and I was personally ready to revolt. Is this the prince making these guards so mean, or should I aim my revolution elsewhere? -Caltrop Reply |

Greetings fellow Olvi, I just returned to Arthe Dale from my hunting expedition on Aesry Surlaenis, and find myself with a few days to relax and be social before heading up to Riverhaven to explore some mysteries at Dunshade Manor. Bumped into Caltrop already. Introduced him to Baearholt's, home of a most excellent variety of food and drink, priced right, and close enough to stumble home! Hanala, are you out there? Surely Esuin would understand your desire to visit and make offerings at Glythtide's shrine (then take the long way back). If anyone would like to tip back a few, light one up, scarf a few tarts, and share some tall tales or songs, I'll be haunting Arthe Dale and the Arthe Hollow Inn. Or, Glythtide forbid, you actually have a serious Olvi issue or concern, I'll try to act all Thainly and do what I can. I don't have the time or energy right now to put together anything fancy, so don't expect games, contests, or whatever. Just a little halfling socializing! (pun intended) --Mykk Dalys, Thain OOC: Tonight (Wednesday) I'll just wander Mykk around Arthe, can't commit though if there's a new South Park <g>. Tomorrow night (Thursday), Mykk will be in the Arthe Hollow Inn at the bar or buffet table from 10pm to midnight eastern time. Any new or old friends are welcome to stop by and say hi. Reply |

Hello hello, I love seeing new Olvi faces around, and we have at least a couple good new ones in Caltrop and Hanala. Unfortunately there might be others, but if they don't post, it can be hard to find them. Basically, I'm not asking anyone to mentor them, and far as I can tell neither one needs it, I think they'll both do great. But if you see either one, or any new Olvi, and can include them in something you're doing that night or whatever, I'd love to see it. Get that community spirit thing going you know. Taffei, I know you like to stick your head in here about once a month <g>. As a cleric, I highly recommend you at least touch base with Hanala. The little time I spent with her was fun fun fun, and she takes her cleric duties seriously--in an Olvi kind of way! Caltrop, I'm trying to think of a good "mentor" for ya. Eadain I think would've been perfect, but other than the fact his knoll has new pinwheels in front of it, I'm having a hard time confirming if he still plays. He's a paladin who likes to hunt, reminds me of you a lot actually. --aka Mykk Reply |

Your place in Olvi history is assured as you were the second Thain of Arthe Dale! I saw your pinwheels, and if the shop re-opens, I may do some shopping as well. Eadain's knoll got some too (he's just west of us), but I haven't seen his screenname pop up in forever, and my email to him got returned undeliverable, so I'm not sure what's up with him. Caltrop has been putting in some serious playing time, not sure why you haven't seen him in the Village yet. I told him I'd take him to wood trolls or somewhere soon. Hanala was just an awesome rp experience. I'd like to see both of them stick around, so keep your eye out for them and show them a good time ;-) Caltrop and Hanala, if you need advice on circling, gaining ranks, or mechanics in general, Rascalt's player knows roughly a thousand times more than I do, and is also great to hang out with.

And just because I went three rooms the wrong way in the deader drag race the other day does NOT mean I don't know my directions. Taffei heads east. Taffei arrives. Taffei heads west. Reply |

>>Hanala was just an awesome rp experience.<< Thank you! I've tried my hand at quite a few faces in the realms and I must admit, the Halfling cleric has proved to be the most fun so far. >>Caltrop and Hanala, if you need advice on circling, gaining ranks, or mechanics in general<< I'd have to say on my list, Circling is far down there. I've gone that route with other bodies in the realms and it just seems to sap the fun. As for Hanala, she can't figure out how to have time to circle with all her studing on how to hide a hangover, and her pursuit of said hangovers. Player of Hanala Sarnia That being said, >>I would love ta meet ya Hanala! Bein a cleric of Glythtide meself an all, we gots loads in common. Soon as I get back northward (which should be in about a week) I'll be keepin an eye out fer ya.<< Ah! Another that has seen the light! His Favor is grand, and constantly in pursuit of it, I am. I would be honored to meet with you, and I'm quite sure Esuin won't make me sneak out for this one! I shall keep an eye out for you also, the eye that isn't on my ale!

Hehe, Mykk forgot to mention one thing Hanala... I can show you how to circle while still being RP intensive <g> Lately I haven't been RPing much, but then again I haven't been playing much either... But I like to consider myself one of the elitest when it comes to RPing in this game, especially when it comes to halflings. And seeing how Rascalt was a cleric for a time, he can teach ya how to hide that hangover too... He can also teach ya how to handle an unrully dead folk, but that's just the inherit evil in him <cackles> If your ever around Arthe Dale and I'm actually on and not playing Asheron's Call or Dark Ages of Camelot, just tap me on the shoulder and I'd be more then happy to help you with anything, especially rping.
