Hello all!
You will have to forgive the addition of yet ANOTHER announcement. I simply felt the need to comment on our new 'affiliate' - Tol Eressea. Yes, that's right, THE Tol Eressea. I have received many.... erm.... unseemly comments about it, and thus figured I would let you know why they are on our affiliate list. Here at GotE, we have no desire to hang on to resentment or hate. Old memories between us and TE seem to be bad memories, so we are 'erasing' the old ones - if you will - by publicly stating (the only way we know how) our remorse over having, well, tried to murder one another. (Or everything short of, anyways). Now, this is the only comment I could find about GotE on TE:
It seems to me that it is a rather unseemly comment in and of itself. We hope that no such comments should be what defines our 'relationship' with TE, so we have removed, on GotE, anything concerning that site and it's staff/members that we felt to be negative or vulgar.
(That is only in reference to what we have been able to find so far – we are still searching).
We are hoping to start anew, and, in setting a good example, possibly lead others to follow us.
(And we also wish to apologize if the 'attitude of the administration' has ever frustrated anyone around here
).

-----Notice-----
The Hall of Fire was the title of a roleplay at Gathering of the Elves, where we all started. It was started by Elrond. The site owner shut the site down several times for days for "maintenance" while we were deep into roleplay and actively posting. This board is the result of being unable to post at that site. This board was created by disgusted roleplayers who vowed to never shut down for any reason in order to allow roleplayers to post when their creative energies were high.
It has been said on that site that I "stole" this roleplay and others from the other site. Actually what happened is the ACTIVE members of the Hall of Fire came here to continue it. The roleplay story is still on the other site. I did not "steal" it, anyone can post there and continue the roleplay. The active members merely moved to continue posting because they wanted to write roleplay and were frustrated with the attitude of the administration over there. They talked me into starting this board, I did not want to do it initially. Thirteen memberships created this site on October 20th. The charter members are: Arawen, Eldirn, Elrond, Eomana, Celebrían, Glorfindel, Herwen, Hobbitness, Lugdush, Nimplhaw, Rainiel, Thanatos and Wiley Dawg. Pip joined the next day. Uruviel on October22, Dinedhel and Bargash on October 23rd. Unurith on October 26th. The next memberships started in November.
To keep confusion to a minumim after I was verbally attacked by members of the other site, I decided to change the title of the roleplay. This is a very different roleplay now than the one Elrond created over at the other site and it is because the members of THIS board gave it direction.
Please forgive me for the verbose explanation. I feel like I need to speak up for myself because of the mis-information spread by some of the individuals of the other site. I have never spoken badly of the other site or any person there in any way. I encouraged them to continue the roleplay there. I have never said this site was good and that one was bad, nor have I bragged about our roleplay here being great. I AM proud of this site because of the people involved here and if that shows through in what I say, then so be it!
