"The NEW big list of Landroval Role Play Kinships"

Fionnuala has recently posted an updated collection of Landroval roleplay kinships. Upon opening this aforesaid list I was surprised to find that Leaves of Laurelin was not at all on this list.

I don't know what other people's attitudes to publicity are, but I was wondering if anybody would be interested in getting us onto the list, either as a Heavy or Medium roleplay kin. Being one of our newer members, I do not think I can accurately summarize us but I am curious (if at all) what other individuals think.

On the topic of recruitment, I was curious in general what people's attitudes are. From what I've noticed is that Leaves of Laurelin is a small, close group of people who migrated from Elendilmir who are not at all actively seeking to expand. I may be very wrong, but if we are at all interested in new members we definitely aren't very actively recruiting.

Goodness, quite accurate I'd say, on most accounts. The original Gathering of Laurelin on Eledil was forum (written) RP heavy since it formed even before LOTRO Beta, but added a huge in-game RP presence and made a name for itself, at least till every other RPer had seemingly left for Landroval.

Makalaure speaks for this kin for RP matters in general, but nobody does this kind of thing alone for very long without burnout.

I'd say we're medium RP. Sometimes deliciously heavy to the exclusion of everything else, sometimes light and lighthearted fun romps. We're not...recruiting with the intention of being a big kin. 20 different folks is about right for my tastes, but I don't speak for the kinship anymore than anyone else does. Suffice to say we're always looking for new good natured roleplayers who fit to join us.
Nothing better than seeing lively kin chat spamming away when you log in to feel connected. Nothing worse than logging into 5 immediate tells about some social drama and "problem" kin business before you even catch your breath to make you not play either.

If Makalure wants to himself, or permits me to volunteer, or asks anyone else to send a message, I'd say we should probably be on the medium list with a nice little blurb.

now excuse me, going to go check out this Rohirrim Stable Boys kinship....

As a kinship we are on Landroval for roleplay but it seems to have taken a backseat with some and other roleplayers are not too active (Maitimo). I would rather roleplay than quest, or roleplay as we quest but I refuse to be a leader for everyone in making things happen. We are all leaders. We are a kinship of Officers who can invite likely recruits into the kinship. Cotumo is the named leader because we need a designated leader to have the kinship even exist. I would love to have more people who intend to roleplay in the kinship but have never actively taken that any further than to speak to individuals in game to see if they wanted to join when they approached me. I kind of soured being a leader on Elendilmir and was more of a diplomat who had a few tough duties to take into consideration. I would love to see our kinship grow, we can never have enough friends to do things with so if anyone wishes to work up a "poster" and a speech we can put in the kinship list I would be grateful.

One thing I do is create events occasionally, like the one coming up in November. That helps us gather new members.

I see a need for a few proactive people. Anyone want to volunteer?

Publicity
Keeper of the Timepiece - maybe have a membership meeting occasionally in the Kinhouse where we can all speak in real time to offer our ideas and indoctrinate recruits into the Officer status of the kinship.

uhmm keeper of the Pantry...is this an option? *looks hopeful and shuffles his feet shyly*

As on of the few ahem foreigners ahem It has been tricky to attend RP hgatherings on Landroval as everything is set on US eastern time, one of the reason i love The Leaves (even on Eley) West Coast and Central is a bit more friendly and i can actually get to attend things (even if Kio and Turwyn have to suffer from insomnia)

That said Id only be to happy to plot plan fiddle and scheme Id love to do much more RP even when we go on our quests, would love more talking in game as much as the banter on the headsets. Oldtusk is a good example of the sort of thing i enjoy with his inquest banter and actions, not to mention walking around that Barrow instead of running.
Id also like us as kin to do some other fun things. Fishing comps, hunter gathering evenings, relaxing farming and music picnic just little things we could do as a kin, not always rushing off into danger, though good fun as it is!
Also maybe introduce some sort of system like the bounders and their buttons, or something, Leaves *shrugs* just kicking around the idea football...hey im a hobbit i dont have to make sense!!

Anyways im rambling
oh and like it or not... *bows low* ALL HAIL MR MAKALOLLY BIG CHIEF LEAF....without you Maka we would blow away in the wind
