[EVENT] Green Dragon Friday

[Linawillow]

It is Friday, so the Green Dragon in Bywater opens its doors to hobbits and visiting dwarves as usual, 8PM UK/BST (3PM servertime). Come to relax over a quart of ale, share yer news and gossip, and listen to songs, stories, and poetry. Perhaps we'll have some riddles too? We'll see!

Note 1:
Player music is still bugged, but everything should work and you'll hear both yerself and entertainers if you relog while inside the Dragon. Don't leave after yer have done so, though, that may trigger the bug again!

Note 2:
Longshanks are, as always, encouraged to avoid the inn during the event. If you have a quest in there you should of course come inside and do it, but if yer plan to attend the event, yer should roll up a hobbit! This is not because we are mean and hate the players behind elves and men, but because for two hours each week, we'd love to keep a hobbit-themed event in a hobbity atmosphere. And in the books, men were a rare sight in hobbit inns, while elves were never there.

[Linawillow]

Yay! Hooray! Green Dragon Friday!

And with the recent squashing of music bugs, you likely won't need to take short naps to hear the lutes either!

8PM UK (3PM servertime) in Bywater as usual. Be welcome, hobbits and visiting dwarves! Bring a song, story, poem, riddle or something similar, and the latest in news and gossip!

[Linawillow]

Friday! Green Dragon! Good hobbit times! 8PM UK (3PM servertime)!

As usual, the inn is open for hobbits and travelling dwarves, eager to share news, entertain each other, or have a grand and social time over an ale or five. See yer in Bywater!

[Linawillow]

Summer is here, but the Green Dragon is open as usual today! Welcome hobbits + travelling dwarves, them doors open 8PM UK (3PM servertime), fer music, dancing, stories, poems, riddles, news, gossip and drinking!

Remember that GDF is a hobbit event, and that tall folks are strongly encouraged to avoid the inn during the event. This is not because we are mean and hate the players behind elves and men, but because for two hours each week, we'd love to keep a hobbit-themed event in a hobbity atmosphere. And in the books, men were a rare sight in hobbit inns, while elves were never there. If you have a quest in there you should of course come inside and do it, but if yer plan to attend the event, yer should roll up a hobbit!

[Linawillow]

Yay fer Friday! The Dragon is open as usual, 8PM UK (3PM servertime), fer hobbits and visiting dwarves. Welcome!

[Linawillow]

Friday, and that can only mean that the Green Dragon opens its doors to hobbits and visiting dwarves again! New songs and poems have been promised, and the latest Shire news will be shared! 8PM UK (3PM servertime) as usual, welcome!

[Linawillow]

Summer days make fer lazy days, but hobbits still need a visit to the inn! And the Green Dragon is eager ter accommodate them.

8PM UK (3PM servertime) as usual! Welcome hobbits and travelling dwarves!

[Linawillow]

Sure looks like it is Friday again! Which means that, yes, the Green Dragon in Bywater opens its doors for hobbits and travelling dwarves as usual. The inn opens 8PM UK (3PM servertime).

Should yer have some entertainment fer them crowds, be it a song, a story, a poem, a riddle or the latest in news, don't be shy! Just have a chat (or send a /tell) to the hobbit trying to keep things running smoothly, and yer will get a slot. Else, just come to socialize, drink, chat and dance, that's lovely too!

Welcome hobbits and dwarves!

[Linawillow]

The summer is hot indeed, which means that yer should surely drink much and often. Luckily, ale is plentiful at the Green Dragon, which opens its doors for hobbits and travelling dwarves as usual today, 8PM UK (3PM servertime). Welcome!

A brand-new poem has been promised, and there is sure ter be the usual in news, entertainment, dancing and gossiping. If yer have news or entertainment, just have a chat (send a /tell) to the hobbit trying ter keep things moving along smoothly. First-time performers are always especially welcome!

Let's just hope that ol' Barmy won't take advantage of the warm weather by increasing the prices again!

[Linawillow]

Friday! Green Dragon Friday for hobbits and travelling dwarves! 8PM UK (3PM servertime) as usual at the Green Dragon inn in Bywater, welcome!

The hills are alive with the echoes of the bagpipes that have apparently been played the last two weeks. In addition, the milk in Barmy's kitchen went sour after the playing, so it seems he has raised the ale prices again to cover his losses. Anyways, as usual: The night should bring songs, dancing, poetry, stories riddles and/or news, as well as merry chatting with yer hobbit neighbours. The schedule is as loose as always.

Remember: GDF is an attempt to have a regular Tolkien-ish hobbit inn night, which means

1. The event is totally in-character, so please avoid OOC chatting, forced emotes, spamming emotes (for instance, entering /dance 15 times in a row) etc.
2. Suitable topics are anything that would interest a hobbit, which typically could mean food, local news, the harvest, gossiping about the neighbours and similar things. Most hobbits wouldn't ever be concerned with things happening outside of The Shire, much less travel outside of the bounds themselves.
3. This is primarily a night for hobbits, although travelling dwarves that have a good reason to pass through The Shire are certainly welcome inside for a tankard of ale and some news from the road. We ask that men and elves do not come to participate at the event (other than coming in to do any quests they may have inside, of course). This is not because we hate the players behind tall characters, it is simply an immersion thing to keep this event a hobbit-themed one. Yer should certainly roll up a hobbit yerself to participate, though, it is grand fun!
4. The inn is rather large, but the area around the "entertainment fireplace" soon gets crowded. If you want to run a long drawn-out discussion with just one or two other persons present, we suggest moving a bit away from the crowd. This way, the chat box will be more manageable for all present, and the event more enjoyable for everyone!
5. Don't be afraid to offer up entertainment yourself, we love first-time performers (as well as the second-, third- and xxx-time ones too!). Just send a /tell to the hobbit trying to keep things going smoothly, and he or she will find room for you during the night.

Be well and be welcome, hobbits!

[Linawillow]

Friday again, which means that the Green Dragon opens its doors again fer hobbits and the odd visiting dwarf!

The order of the night is as loose as always, but expect something along the lines of songs, dancing, poetry, stories, riddles and the very latest in hobbity news!

8PM London time (3PM servertime) in Bywater, everyone. Welcome!

PS: Remember, GDF is (and have for more than five years been) a hobbit-themed event, with dwarves welcome. Elves and men are encouraged to stay away from the inn during the event, although yer should of course come in to advance any quests yer may have inside. This is not because we hate yer, but simply because we for two hours each week would love a hobbit-flavoured inn night somewhat close to the spirit of the books. Roll up a hobbit if yer want to attend, yer will find more roleplaying opportunities that way!

[Linawillow]

Since Bywater is currently looking more like a battleground than a lovely hobbit village due to the Farmer's Faire, we won't be at the Green Dragon tonight. Rather, our weekly hobbit inn gathering moves to the Bird and Baby in Michel Delving instead! Master Carlo Blagrove has promised us ales of the highest quality and softer dancing rugs than the Green Dragon, so I am sure we will have a good time there too.

So: The Bird and Baby in Michel Delving, 8PM UK (3PM servertime).

Welcome hobbits! Welcome visiting dwarves! Bring news and entertainment with yer!

[Linawillow]

The mayor and his helpers are still running rampant in Bywater! So tonight, we'll visit the Floating Log in Frogmorton instead. Hopefully, the fact that this is Friday the 13th won't make it problematic for our patrons ter come. Although, be sure ter look out fer them black kittens...

8PM UK/BST (3PM servertime) as usual! Hobbits and visiting dwarves welcome! See yer there!

[Linawillow]

Back to the Dragon, hobbits! The mayor has packed up his stuff and brought his noisy helpers with him! Yay!

So we're back in the Green Dragon tonight for the usual. Hobbits and travelling dwarves very welcome, 8PM UK/BST (3PM servertime). Welcome for dancing, music, poetry, riddles and news!

[Linawillow]

Another busy weekend in the hobbithood, and as usual we'll kick things off at the Green Dragon. 8PM UK/BST (3PM servertime), hobbits and friendly dwarves welcome!

[Linawillow]

Friday again, Green Dragon Friday again! As usual, hobbits and merry dwarves are welcome to the inn in Bywater. Doors open at 8PM UK/BST (3PM servertime), and the event should last about two hours.

Music and dancing, news, poetry, riddles, stories and/or whatever else we can think of. And as usual, we'll end with fireworks outside!

If yer have entertainment or news items, please send a /tell to the hobbit trying to keep things moving along! First-time entertainers are especially welcome!

Oh, and here is a video one of our guests have made from the event!

[scousejack]

You folk are adorable ;p
I remember walking in and wondering why all these hobbits weren't racing round getting bounders' tokens. Now i appreciate that there's
more to life than a high score. Salute.

[Linawillow]

The Dragon is open again tonight, usual time! 8PM UK/London time (3PM Servertime). Welcome hobbits and visiting dwarves!

Friday sure equals Green Dragon time! At least for hobbits and visiting dwarves!

So the inn will be open as usual today, at 8PM UK/London time. However, given that the US is still on Daylight Savings Time, this equals to 4PM servertime. Next Friday we're back at the usual servertime (3PM)-

Welcome to a night of Shire music, dancing, poetry, news (!). And perhaps a small tribute to a fine bard that recently travelled west...

[Linawillow]

Up and at it, hobbits! It is Friday, and the Green Dragon opens its doors as usual! 8PM UK/London time (3PM servertime). Well-mannered, friendly dwarves are welcome as usual!

[Linawillow]

Friday again! A Green Dragon Friday too! Hobbits and friendly dwarves welcome to the weekly inn night in Bywater!

The agenda is as loose as ever, but expect dancing and music, drinking, poetry, news, and possibly even a story about a right ruffian! 8PM UK (3PM servertime) and two hours forward - welcome!

[Linawillow]

It is another Green Dragon Friday, now also with the poster above made by master Speckles!

[Lothilia]

Love to all hobbits this Christmas. Love to all hobbits who have a RL hobbit heart. Love to all hobbits with your furry feet, and warm hearths. Love to all hobbits who love to smoke a pipe and enjoy the comfortable elements of life. Love to all hobbits who attend Green Dragon Friday, an event created by hobbits, for hobbits. Special love to those who dare to play a mundane character, a character that could have been written by J.R himself. Special love again to those who dare to roleplay, and who live their character. Love to all.

My sincere love, to you all.


Mae/Lothilia.
