your name is mentioned as the next target

The CTF anticipated this and we are prepared. All Middle-Earth officials have been injected with a radioactive isotope suspended in a saline solution. The injection effectively prevents the recipient from being cloned. The serum is available to our allies’ governments. Contact Terl (or Greldon) to determine quantities needed and arrange shipment.

I had no idea such techs had reached these faraway lands!

Things are never quite what they seem to be.

Our allies have provided us with many techs and we even have a research facility shared by scientists from each ally.

The clone problem appears to be escalating.

The problem with the clones seems to be predominantly with Shalom Shemesh. The first and all subsequent events have been centered on him. It is interesting that it is Shalom who claims Theoden to be cloned and it is also Shalom that claims you, Greldon, are next to be cloned. This leads me to believe that this alledged diplomat, is indeed working his own evils to achieve his own, undisclosed, goals.

When is our new equipment due to arrive

The new equipment has arrived and CTF personnel are in the process of setting it up now. I have also requested arrest warrants for Shalom and any being that may look like him for further questioning/interrogation. We have enlisted the aid of Shelob to assist with the questioning. She is quite excited to be able to help. We did promise that she be allowed to have at least one of the detainees for a *ahem* dinner engagement.

This sounds more like Star Trek than Middle earth

To quote the Jedi; "Indeed". That was my thought also. I have asked Manwe via his priests to provide a level of godly protection about Middle Earth. He has assured us and responded via many "fleece tests" that he will aid us. He has led us to believe that Melkor will also join him and will deal with these "Shalom menaces" as Melkor desires to be the only evil force dominating Middle Earth.

We also have information that the things Shalom is telling us are unreal and untrue. It seems Shalom may be living in a holodeck and living his life in a virtual reality, thus the tales he relates, thought true to him in his own version of reality, are in fact completely unfounded and untrue in any reality we know. It seems many think Shalom has been cloned beyond all hope and the original perhaps has been destroyed, perhaps even during his first raid upon Middle Earth.

Time and further investigation will determine the truths...

Indeed!!

Actually, the pirates are the only group that doesn't want our major export item. We Hobbits are a simple people, but we know if we don't keep up technologically speaking, we won't survive for long in today's Metaverse. Trade is good!

I see the investigation is coming along nicely!

#155 by Veteran Terl - 2/5/2004 12:02:31 PM

A suddenly explosion rattles the Prancing Ponny, a wall falls and a robot copy of Shalom but 3 times bigger

The robotic version of Shalom has been located and destroyed by members of FoTRCTF SWAT. The parts have been sold and the funds used to repair the Prancing Pony.

The Clone Detectors have been set up and the coverage extends to all of Middle Earth. Unfortunately the only way for the array to function correctly was to give it samples of Shalom's DNA. This will destroy all clones before they can safely enter FoTR space but is also a threat to Shalom himself. We have a method to ensure his safety but will only administer this once the FoTRCTF is completely sure it is the true Shalom Shemesh.

More later..... work calls

I see you made it back into the Top 25, Shalom. Congrats!

#158 by Citizen Greldon - 2/5/2004 12:06:50 PM

We also have information that the things Shalom is telling us are unreal and untrue.

I believe you're correct about Shalom.....in any case we'll know as soon as the equipment set-up and calibration is complete. If we're correct, we'll put an end to this attack of the clones

in short order.

#159 by Veteran Disciple777 - 2/5/2004 12:06:52 PM

Thanks, now I can get my ex-25 medal soon.

#160 by Veteran Disciple777 - 2/5/2004 12:08:26 PM

The clone deception has started, now you don't even believe in the good offers of your friends, I am here to be tested, so go ahead, stick the needle.
Shalom extend his arm and the needle take a sample of green????? blood, oh my I am a clone!!!!!!!!!

#161 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 2/5/2004 12:09:28 PM

sample of green????? blood

Either that or a Vulcan!

#162 by Veteran Disciple777 - 2/5/2004 12:09:30 PM

Shalom lower his head in unbelief, I am a clone, but then he remembers, my blood is green, duhhhhhhhhh!!!!

#163 by Veteran Disciple777 - 2/5/2004 12:10:04 PM

I forgot my father was Spock the Vulcan....

#164 by Veteran Terl - 2/5/2004 12:12:49 PM

Shalom is at the FOTR headquarters to be tested to prove his goodwill, but I wonder if the alleged Terl will do the same, very nice tactic to diverge the attention from himself?

In the interrogation room, Terl offers Shalom a cigar. Shalom lights it up and takes a few nice puffs. Terl asks Shalom if it is a good cigar. Shalom says, "Best I've ever had." Terl grabs his sword and holds it to Shalom's throat, "You lie clone!" Terl shouts. "I know you are a clone! Shalom would never have said a White Owl Demi-Tip was good."

"The true Shalom knows good cigars."

The newly discovered clone is led from the room, processed, put into shackles, and transported to the pits of Angband.

Glad to see that you caught him Terl our plan really worked, now we have the real Shalom in jail and we the clones are taking over the empire. Mwhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

#166 by Veteran Terl - 2/5/2004 12:21:06 PM

Glad to see that you caught him Terl our plan really worked, now we have the real Shalom in jail and we the clones are taking over the empire. Mwhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

So then, by your logic, the "real Shalom" now in jail, previously questioned by me would admit that White Owl cigars are "the best" after having sampled Cuban Cigars?

BTW, there would be no "our plan". I have had to rebuild the Prancing Pony twice now. With such a distaste for inns and taverns one wonders are you Shalom Shemesh or Carrie Nation?

#167 by Veteran Disciple777 - 2/5/2004 12:22:34 PM

Sorry if I almost uncovered our plans, I mean my plans.

#168 by Citizen Nastavnik - 2/5/2004 12:27:31 PM

green blooded vulcains, clones, holodecks, alternate universes, tv shows crossovers...

this place is getting more and more interesting.

(now about this universe: Terl, did you get my mail? -- just checking

)

edit: It's amazing the number of messages posted here just in the time it takes me to write "blink of an eye"

Yes. I was quite busy yesterday as you had been too. Real life always gets in the way.... I'll be responding soon...

Terl decided a blend of scotch, ale, valium, and prozac were in order after reading the plot wrenching, mind twisting finale of Attack of the Clones. Since, apparently, the Shalom in Angband was indeed fake Terl decided he could just rot there and headed off for the office. The finale is here:

It seems the threat, for the time being, is over. With his usual zeal and flair Terl shouts, "Drinks at the Pony!"

#171 by Veteran Disciple777 - 2/5/2004 1:51:30 PM

Good afternoon my old friend Terl, may I invite you for a round of Cuban Havana Club Golden label rum? What the heck, drinks for the whole house

And free Cuban cigars for everyone I just received two shipments of the best black Cuban cigar you have ever seen in your life, Montecristo cigars!!!!

#172 by Veteran Terl - 2/5/2004 1:53:58 PM

"Ah, so now it is truly you!" shouted Terl. "I knew the one was a fake when he claimed the White Owl Demi-tips were good, for what conniseur would enjoy a cigar with a plastic tip attached," Terl continued.

After the rum was passed about all lifted their glasses and toasted the end of this conflict with the clones.

#173 by Veteran Disciple777 - 2/5/2004 2:01:14 PM

It is time to upgrade the Prancing Ponny Mayito exclaimed after enjoying a good old drink, here this is my payment for all the damages caused by the clones, do you think Terl that 25 million BC's could help to improve this place?

I just collected some cash that was owed to me by The Draginols.

By the way anyone playing the AP has seen The Draginol? or was removed for this version?
