Bree: Meet the Mayor (or, Something Stinks)

The campaign between current Mayor Torebras Bywater and his rival Brenden Ferny is hotting up.

The other day, TOREBRAS was seen braving the drizzle to set up a little booth in the yard of the Pony where townsfolk could ‘Meet the Mayor in Person’. KELDEAN was quick to seize the opportunity to ask questions (and wave a bucket of manure in Torebras’ direction whenever possible). Did you know that Torebras’ young brother Brandebras helps illiterate voters to fill in their forms? On hearing this Mistress ADA Fiddlehead, sister of Brenden Ferny, selflessly volunteered to perform the same service. Torebras managed to stammer out his thanks before retreating into his booth, behind a sign that was now – alas!- sadly illegible.

Bree: The Campaign Gets Serious

Mayor Torebras Bywater was out for a stroll mid-morning when he encountered Brenden Ferny. (Played by Keldean) The man was hammering a sign to the gate of the large clearing off of Broad Way that announced an upcoming ale festival. The mayor began grilling Brenden on licenses, permission from the council, and even what he -named- the festival. Brenden answered the concerns rather flippantly and the mayor wandered off not long after.

BREE: Ghosties, ghoulies and … elections?

Ever since that queer trip out to the Barrow-Downs (treasure hunt or murder investigation, depending who you speak to), neither hide nor curly foot-hair has been seen of Mayor TOREBRAS Bywater. Today the nervous hobbit emerged from hiding just in time to hear BRENDEN Ferny (played by Keldean) holding forth about all the work around town needing done, and the Mayor’s disgraceful absence. Torebras seemed disinclined to answer questions about his trip, though CORDELIA helpfully let a few snippets of information fall, but one thing led to another and Brenden demanded an election. What’s more, Torebras agreed. There’s to be voting and all, right here in Bree! The current Mayor hasn’t exactly been effective – maybe it’s time we had a Big Person in charge. On the other hand, would /you/ vote for a Ferny?

So, what exactly did happen on that trip? Accounts differ depending who you speak to. Ghosts, wolves, skeletons … some folk claim the walking dead pushed the Mayor down the hill. I mean, really! Toothless old Gaffer Goosefoot has a different tale, though. Says it was one of those dirty rangers (THULION) knocked the Mayor down, then scared off a couple of youngsters. After the treasure, that fellow must have been. Never trust a Ranger, that’s what I say.

Hey folks,

Now that we’ve made the change, here’s a quick summary of our new bboard/com system.

Culture Bree Ered-Luin Mithlond Shire

Main board ——————-Best-bb—————–
RP board ——————-Best-rp—————–
Greeters board ——————-Nano-bb—————–
LAs board ——————-Minion-bb—————

Main local com <bree> <luin> <mithlond> <shirefolk>
Cross-culture com ——————-<best>——————-
Local LAs com <bad> <lula> <mithadmin> <sla>
Cross-culture LAs com——————<minion>—————–
Greeters com ——————-<nano>——————-

Clear as mud, eh?

With all the joint boards, it’s easy for specific culture stuff to get buried. So, to make things clearer, if you’re posting something for a specific culture please could you put the culture name in uppercase at the start of the post title? Or if it’s for all cultures, put ‘ALL: …’

Hey guys! I know I have lots of little plot things I started and haven’t finished. I’ve been around, but minimal RP. That’s because my work load got unexpectedly tripled the last couple of weeks. I’m almost over the hump and will be back to my normal obsessive RP ways next week. Here’s the stuff I have if anyone wants to RP:

Keldean is back in Bree. I don’t have much going on with him but would love to get him involved. Rumor has it he spent all winter with the elves!
Brenden Ferny is going to be running for mayor. I’d love to do RP with him sharing his opinions on Torebras.
Bandits! Hatman and Scarface are still around! Be a victim! Hunt them down! I’ll be game for anything.

Be sure to check my alts too (sometimes I’m not on multiple connections), Ranol and Cecilia. The odds are I’ll be willing to switch over.
