[EDIT 2]
One can say there is such a moment of 'too much of a good thing'. *sigh* I'm heading out of the house, once again, to go on a quick one-week vacation with my family to the northern part of our state. One week's just not long enough to stay home an create a new deer! D:<
At any rate, I will be gone, and probably won't have computer access during that time.
Leavin' on the 17th and all that jazz.
In the meantime, farewell! And thanks everyone for updating me the last time I left. I really appreciated it. <3

Hi there! I have returned from camp, what fun it was indeed. Is it possible that someone could fill me in on some big events that have happened / community things that I missed?
Thank you so much!
*goes off to sleep*

Hey there ya'll. At any rate, I'm heading off to a horse camp for two weeks or so, and won't have access to a computer nor any technology. But that's what's fun about it, y'know?
At any rate, sorry for spamming, I just wanted to make sure peepz didn't think I was abandoning TEF and whatnot.
I will return in July!
Take care everyone! <3

It was a day of those in which there is nothing that to count. A doe and her fawn grazed to the edges of the Pond.
The small fawn, innocent and curious decides for a moment to abandon the proteccion divine of his mother, after be going to harass a butterfly that caressed it since toward few minutes.
The Greats Twin Gods, in a sudden attack of boredom, decide to sink to the Endless Forest in a thick fog.
When the fawn fell in the account, he was defenseless and alone in the middle of the Forest, shouted aid, but nobody listened it. With the light of his picto as only sign, the fawn illuminated timidly each movement that he listened.
The fear was only his company, to be been quiet him caused panic, with the to ululate of the owls and the howls of the wolves, the small fawn did not have possibility of peace. While more wolves howls, the mind of the fawn only was able to expect the worse thing. of their friends, the fawns, listened to relate zombie deer's stories that awaited in the fog. The timid mind of the fawn, not able to breathe of the fear and the anguish.
-Where it is mom?.- was asked to himself.
After some bushes to be moved, the fawn rotated on himself agile.
-Will be a wolf? -His mind roared without hope to return to the maternal heat. - -will be a zombie deer?-
Upon illuminating the moving bush, a colony of bats was thrown on the small fawn. -MOOOOOOMIIII!!!!- the small one roared. Running what its legs yielded him. themselves internal even more in the Great Forest. The bats without ceasing hounded it. A white sudden Light illuminated to the annoying creatures. the fawn hill the eyes before the magnitude of the Light.
As soon as the Light ceased. the fawn sought distrustful the reason of the sparkle. He saw weakly the silhouette of a Sylphide.
-Who you are you?- asked timidly.
- ... - The Sylphide did not answer.

Really odd error. ;o;

To recap -

Last night, I was playing TEF, and I decided to go do something else for a while, so I x'd out
using the action strip's x, and then came back a bit later.
To find that it won't open properly.

When I double-click on my desktop icon, I get a popup window that appears and dissipates
SUPER fast, and then of course, the tab on the bottom opens. I run in windowed mode, so I wait
for a few, and since I generally have no problems with TEF loading { My computer is a beast
and can handle uh... I think 27 TEF's is its limit. } and so I wait longer. I have Vista, so I hove
rover the tab in the bottom - and see it loading!
But no window ever pops up.
The tab / window tab in the quick launch bar for Vista is there, and like I go into depth below, I
can play in it - connecting and seeing other deer.
But no window pops up, and I play in windowed mode.

I can interact and play in the bottom hover-window, which is quite odd, actually. I can tell you
it's raining in the forest right now, just from that.

I did nothing in-between that would have caused this, so I'm really at a loss.

I tried many things to remedy the problem.

Downloaded AVG's free trial with maximum security, and scanned for viruses. I'm scanning
again as I type to see if it's a virus.
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled, that didn't work.
Rebooted my computer as well, still not working.
This morning I tried running as administrator, and that gives me a full-screen version, and it
flashes constantly the quick launch buttons beneath it and certain parts of the browser or
whatever I have behind it. Very annoying, really, so I -could- play as that, but I don't think I'd
want to.
I also tried running the settings window - and discovered as I put up prior that it is the exact

Do you usually create new accounts for them, or do you use the same account and just change your appearance to that of the other character? I'm just a fawn right now, but I'm wondering what the best approach to multiple characters is.

History

It was a sunny warm day when Falamir and his sister Rhiannon came into the world. His elderly grandfather was the first thing he ever saw, followed by his mother and father. He knew how to walk within an hour of his birth (still tumbling some) and followed his parents everywhere they went. Then one day, when he was sleeping under the Big Oak, his guardians and Rhiannon decided to take a stroll out of the forest (they were not the wisest of deer), and were attacked by a famished wolf. The wolf had not eaten in a week due to a famine and was happy to see a meal on sixteen legs. It rounded up a pack of other starved wolves and killed Falamir's mum, da, and grandpa. Rhiannon ran away with scars running down her body and her whereabouts were unknown.

When Fal awoke, no one was there to say, "To be awake is to be alive." He knew his granddad wasn't there, so maybe his twin was beside him. No. Maybe his mum was there grazing outside the tree. No. His father often stood on top of the rocks on the Playground, but when he loped at full speed there, he could not find him. Choking back tears, Falamir spent a week trying to find his family, then realized he would never see them again.

I would like to apologize to various small animals, whose pictograms were too tiny to recognize, for baring my antlers at you. I understand your intentions were all in fun -- fun I was personally involved with and enjoying until my heart was pulled in an opposed direction -- and that you meant neither ill nor annoyance towards Walter... But he didn't want to be a part of the game, and was hurting, you see. I tried to tell you in every manner, through apology, gentle discouragement, and even gestures of fear, and you continued to ignore them. I understand the traces of amusement, and that I'm sure some of you may have even been, like me, only trying to watch over and guide Walter in his wounded state. But...well... You were pestering him, and as his friend, I felt I needed to try and help him not be pestered, even if it involved hollow threats and overblown displays of wrath. I apologize -- I meant no one ill will. I'm sorry.

((Me: Uhh...sweetie, I don't think anyone really cared.
I know...in my head.))

As a fawn I'm very happy to say thanks to all of you for a wonderful time in the forest and I hope to see more in the time to come! Ok to the screenshot above,*points up* i've been looking around and havent seen this pelt on any of the older deer. Is it just not popular or is it something else? I would really like this pelt as a stag, its kinda grown on me. Oh also I'm hoping that I'll see everyone today WHEN GATHERINGS OF SMALL ANIMALS ATTACK!
*waves*
See you there!

Wow, I've been gone for a LONG time! The truth is.. I sort of just drifted away. And yesterday, I was on YouTube and saw a TEF video and re-downloaded the game. Well, hi everyone! ^_^

I love the smell of fallen pine needles warmed by the sun and the sounds of birds singing happily overhead. Fills my little fawn heart with joy.

Today was a wonderful day. I ran, I danced, I changed Eli's pelt many times.

I think dancing was my favorite!

I'm still trying to learn how best to communicate with the other dear. I'm so young and new! I hope they don't find me too cheeky! I wonder if they mind us fawns practicing our forest magic on them?

Perhaps tomorrow I will run as far as I can as fast as I can! I just love to run.

[=white][i]...can be quite tiring. And a peaceful walk meant to observe one's surroundings can be interrupted by the calls of other deer. Calls not of joy or even a shouted conversation. No. Some feeling told me that these were calls of a different sort. I could not trust my "gut instinct" however. I had to see with my own eye what was going on.
And thus my peaceful walk to the pond was ended.
Rushing back to the ruined stone building, I could see a small herd had gathered closer together. But this was not a herd meant for protection. This was a herd divided. A quarrel had broken out, with three combatants, as neutral deer not choosing a side went about trying to halt it. I hesitated a moment, waiting to see if it might stop so I need not interfere.
It did not. And appeared capable of going on for some time.
I stepped in, assisting a brightly-colored doe in blocking the attacks of those fighting. Eventually it broke up, and I went on my way again. But not for long, for I seemed to catch the attention of a fawn that lacked a name. And what a rambunctious fawn they were! Causing fights with deer much bigger than it, be they stag, fawn, or doe. Even trying to convince me to lower my own antlers!
Though when I made it clear I would not partake in their play of fighting, they would simply nuzzle me instead.
What a strange young one this was.
It felt almost as if I were scolding a child of my own.
...
Such an odd thought.
I had even required the assistance of a dark-pelted doe of royal blue. Lady Kaoori if I am not mistaken.
The fawn had attempted to start a match with one of the combatants of earlier - one of pale white fur I believe I recognized - who wished to have no part of it. Even though being bothered by just a young one, they fled.

The violence ended not long after that moment, thankfully. I did not wish to have to step between more antlers.
And to think that first fight was mainly between two does.
