Guild Anniversary Number Nine plans:
Help hold the Valar Guild chat room
open for the entire Oct 4, trying to include your time zone. Orodreth
will try to hold it open the whole week!
Meet in here on that day and move to
the game of your choice, and maybe find more people to drag into the
gaming
Battle.net:
WarCraft 3 (not TFT,
as quite a few didn't get the expansion) gaming. Time uncertain, but
the regular meeting time is one possibility.
Show up in Valar
channel in East Realm, the place where it all began, in any Blizzard
game that allows it: StarCraft/Broodwar, Diablo series (except, sadly
the one we originated in, Diablo 1), WarCraft 2, and/or WarCraft 3.
World of WarCraft: fireworks and
gaming. If your character (including alt) doesn't have a tabard,
WoWmail the guildmaster for your anniversary tabard. For Lothar,
WoWmail (or email) Auros (Eonwe-Valar). For Uldaman, same to Gilbrennil
(Varda-Valar). Gilbrennil is not terribly rich, so several of us are
working the AH and gaming to raise tabard money. You might also help us
with this clothing project. Let no one be without a tabard!
Well of Souls: Orodreth plans to be
there for you.
Eve Online: snowball throwing
According to Scatha-(V): game until we
run out of caffienated beverages!
Gaming page: Send in your gaming
review, and tag it that you did it for the 9th anniversary.
Tolkien site: Send in anything for the
Tolkien site, tagging it that it's for the 9th anniversary. You can
also type up your own anniversary comment and ask that it be included.
Members pages: Send in your memoir or
update it, telling how you joined and what happened and why you're
still here.
News page: Send in an email to be
included on the Anniversary date. If there are a lot of them, they will
be on an auxiliary page linked to the News.

Tolkien:
Language in Middle-Earth. Tolkien created the
languages then built the

languages?

Eonwe Valar: So how do we want to celebrate?
ArPharazonV: in this guild
FinduilasV: L)
FinduilasV: :-D
Eonwe Valar: The most popular in recent years methinks is holding this

hours of our Anniversary.
STEvilaim: game until we run
out of caffienated beverages!
Eonwe Valar: Trading off, of course :} You can come by anytime during
the day and should find someone here :}
Eonwe Valar: Gaming would be a good one too, aye :}
Eonwe Valar: The question is who, when, and where :}
ArPharazonV: I'll be here as soon as I'm online, but not sure when that
will be
Haleth V: I probably won't be, thanks to high school and homework.
Eonwe Valar: Hopefully most of us still have BW/SC, WC2/3, maybe D2.
ArPharazonV: sure, warcraft 3'd be nice, I'm a bit vacant in WoW
anyway, no raids on wednesday
Eonwe Valar: There's always Guild members getting together in games
like WoW and doing some stuff
there too.
Eonwe Valar: *To better phrase, there's that option.
Eonwe Valar: So we have Phar for WC3. Anyone Else?
Haleth V: I'll try. Reign of Chaos or Frozen Throne?
Eonwe Valar: Phar?
FladrifV: I have it aswell
FinduilasV: question is warcraft 3 pure online and would we be together
on one sercver>
Haleth V: I'm usually on RoC, US West.
Eonwe Valar: USEast (Azeroth in WC3) is our standard server.
Haleth V: Could create a new name for US East, though.
Eonwe Valar: Or realm, gateway, whatever they're calling it.
ArPharazonV: oh, ehrr... either's fine, I think
Eonwe Valar: Use guild names for recognition :}
ArPharazonV: though I'm more used to Frozen Throne
Haleth V: lol
Haleth V: I can switch over, I suppose.
Haleth V: Haven't played TFT for a while, though - been on custom games.
Eonwe Valar: I'm sure channel Valar wouldn't mind a visit :}
Eonwe Valar: So we've got a group for WC3? Great :}
Haleth V: Can't make any guarantees, though =/
Haleth V: It really depends on how much homework they decide to load us
with. -.-
ArPharazonV: indeed, and I'm not sure what time I'll be available
ArPharazonV: but we'll see
Haleth V: Right, different time zones and all.
Orodreth V: I'll reinstall wc3 someday..
Eonwe Valar: I might stop by in bnet channel Valar (our Guild channel
for many years), but may not be able to game if my homework doesn't
permit.
Haleth V: I can only come online during the night =/
Orodreth V: I do have sc installed though.
ArPharazonV: you were French, Haleth?
Haleth V: lol. American.
Haleth V: Living out in Arizona. GMT-8 currently.
ArPharazonV: then why am I thinking you were French..
ArPharazonV: meh
Haleth V: lol
Haleth V: If you've ever been to AZ, you'd never confused the two. =P
Haleth V: it's STILL hot out here.
ArPharazonV: haha
Eonwe Valar: I will be in here for a few hours to hold the channel
awake at the very least :}
ArPharazonV: ok, I'm gone from WoW
ArPharazonV: so, US East, TFT, valar channel?
ArPharazonV: problem is, night for Haleth... is the next morning for me
Eonwe Valar: If my schedule is really nice, I might do a little bnet
and drop into WoW to see how we're celebrating there :}
Haleth V: drat.
Haleth V: And I can'
Haleth V: t come online earlier*
Haleth V: School and stuff.

wednesday. :(
FinduilasV: where do i get the software?
Eonwe Valar: Software?
FinduilasV: for warcraft three?
Eonwe Valar: Ah, store is the quickest place.
Eonwe Valar: Ordering from an online store like Amazon might be another
good way to go barring local stores, but don't know how fast it'll get
to you.
Orodreth V: I'll also be on WoS if people want to party there. Got a
100 and a 70.
Haleth V: Finduilas, where do you live again?
Menelvagor Valar: Britain
Haleth V: ah.
FinduilasV: yeah isle of skye
Haleth V: Have a local gamestore near you?
Eonwe Valar: At the very least in WoW, we can buy some fireworks and
shoot them off :}
FinduilasV: there is a small shop that selles games actually in portree
but amazon might be faster
FinduilasV: they are not bad if ye pay first class
Haleth V: huh
FinduilasV: i have ordered five books :L) and theyh will be dispatched
tomorrow
FinduilasV: so i think i have them wed or thursday
FinduilasV: but first class is faster
Orodreth V: I can break out my snowballs
in Eve!
Orodreth V: The most expensive projectiles in the game. :-)
Eonwe Valar: :}
FladrifV: in this time of the year
Orodreth V: (Up to 5,000isk/shot..not much in the grand scheme of
things but it sure adds up fast. :p
FladrifV: that was the end of.....
Eonwe Valar: Here's a little incentive for Guild members to go jump on
Lothar in WoW: Any Guild Member on Lothar who doesn't yet have a Guild Tabard for one reason or
another can e-mail me until Midnight on Thursday and to receive one :}
Eonwe Valar: That is, the midnight that transitions from Guild
ANniversary day to the day after :}
Haleth V: Thursday 00:00?
ArPharazonV: I wish people would do that on AD.. I still have 5 alts
without a tabard ;-)
Eonwe Valar: :}
Eonwe Valar: Buy a US copy and come join us, Phar :}
ArPharazonV: heh
ArPharazonV: will you send me the gamecards?

Eonwe Valar: Ah yes, you don't want to get an international credit card
:}
FladrifV: ((not after the news of today....:S))
Eonwe Valar: I think that's how Elatan did it for a while.
Eonwe Valar: Unfortunately not enough of us were on during his best
times.
Orodreth V: /me hugs Eve

Eonwe Valar: hehe

meaning to get to, or a fresh one) to Varda, and label it that it's
part of the 9th Anniversary celebration..
Eonwe Valar: These might be humor, art, poetry, fiction, articles, book
review (cc Lungorthin), or a memoir telling how you got into the guild
and what happened to you there, and what plans or hopes you have for
your guild.
Haleth V: if it's fiction... I'd better get back to work =)

Eonwe Valar: Ok, on to Web News then :}

Finwë from new Tolkien-Only member Fingolfin, as mentioned
above.
Eonwe Valar: New Story by Jay of
Lasgalen, "Setting Forth"
Eonwe Valar: Varda's been redesigning the Stories stuff, starting with
Elwing and Finduilas', and says it should be in good shape now :}
Eonwe Valar: Any other web news?
Menelvagor Valar: depends on authorisation 8-)
FinduilasV: a tiny wee bit from me too eonwe, not much
Eonwe Valar: Go ahead, Finduilas.
FinduilasV: i have added the link to
the valar guild side on the bridge to middlearth with a short
explanation wahat it is about
FinduilasV: and with ways to contact me if people are interested in
joining the guild , especially the european branch
FinduilasV: so if ye could check if its correct what i wrote, i would
be grateful
Eonwe Valar: Sure thing.
FinduilasV: thats it
Eonwe Valar: Thanks Finduilas.
Haleth V has left the room.
Eonwe Valar: A quick bit of news, not web or Guild related, but I'm
going to slide it here real quick. Menel's working on something for a
class he'd like other to take a look at. Whisper him all comments.
Eonwe Valar: The link is http://www.geocities.com/turgon_nhl/files/school_system.ppt
Eonwe Valar: The opinions expressed therein do not necessarily reflect
the views or opinions of the Valar Guild (hehe, I haven't looked at it
either :})
STEvilaim: Sorry, the page you requested was not found.
ArPharazonV: Sorry, the page you requested was not found.
ArPharazonV: heh
Eonwe Valar: Turgon, you want to post a better link real quick?
FinduilasV: the link does not work for me\
Eonwe Valar: er, Menel?
Haleth V has entered the room.
Eonwe Valar: WB Haleth :}
Haleth V: thanks =)
Haleth V: My internet's misbehaving for some reason.
FinduilasV: hope ye stay now :-)
Eonwe Valar: *Hands Haleth a giant anchor*
Haleth V: =) Thanks =P
Haleth V: Funny thing is that dial-up was more reliable than DSL, lol.
Haleth V: It was slow... but it worked.
Eonwe Valar: Whisper Menel for a better link :}
Eonwe Valar: He doesn't seem to be responding, so he might be fixing
the problem :}
Eonwe Valar: In the meantime, we'll move on with the meeting.
FinduilasV: ah could well be
Haleth V: I'm confused... Which link and which problem?
Eonwe Valar: Menel asked everyone to take a look at something for a
class, and the link isn't working.
Haleth V: ah.

Eonwe Valar: Gaming
News:
Eonwe Valar: Anyone play anything besides WoW this week?
Menelvagor Valar: Sorry, still fiddling with it, figured it missed
something :)
ArPharazonV: went for a bit of war3
during queue today, the game crashed 3 minutes after entry
ArPharazonV: so I went back to browsing until queue was up
ArPharazonV: and I think that's all I did this week ;-)
Eonwe Valar: Hehe
FinduilasV: hihi were some server problems on wow europe
FinduilasV: got the most monumental lags ever so far
Eonwe Valar: I'm afraid real life interfered with my gaming this week
as well, so I didn't make it for any questing on Lothar.
ArPharazonV: aye, 2 days ago I had big lags and was disconnected
several times
FladrifV: epic lags
ArPharazonV: same as another person in our raid, so I knew it wasn't
me... but it was still annoying
Eonwe Valar: However, it seems enough for a group showed up while I was
gone, though whether they showed up together or not I do not know :}
FinduilasV: indeed
Menelvagor Valar: http://www.geocities.com/turgon_nhl/files/school_system.ppt
Eonwe Valar: Still not found Menel.
ArPharazonV: yup
Eonwe Valar: Might check your permissions if you haven't?
Haleth V has left the room.
Menelvagor Valar: http://www.geocities.com/turgon_nhl/files
Eonwe Valar: In other WoW
news, Harvest Festival is
coming.
Menelvagor Valar: the 9th file from the top is the one you want.
Eonwe Valar: School_system.ppt
Eonwe Valar: got it.
ArPharazonV: http://www.geocities.com/turgon_nhl/files/School_system.ppt
seems to work then
Glorfindel VG has entered the room.
Menelvagor Valar: och, doh :P
Menelvagor Valar: anyways
Menelvagor Valar: the presentation has no opinions, simply observations
from the Article it is based on.
ArPharazonV: hmm... what's the difference? capital S?
Menelvagor Valar: web addresses are case sensitive.
Eonwe Valar: Harvest Festival is coming, from the second of October to
the ninth.
Menelvagor Valar: Mind that the Powerpoint presentation is also a
barebone version of the actual presentation, so that some of the things
in there are proved or disproved in the article itself.
ArPharazonV: oh, fun, I kinda missed the festivities last year
Eonwe Valar: Here's your chance to have celebration drinks and food on
our Anniversary day too :}
Glorfindel VG has left the room.
Haleth V has entered the room.
ArPharazonV: Calaron found 2 stockade pauldrons, epic world drops,
while farming in Tyr's Hand this week, a mere 4 days apart
Eonwe Valar: Congrats
ArPharazonV: which was enough to pay off his debt and still have money
left for quite a few raid-repairs, and there's no major purchases he
wants to make right now
ArPharazonV: so with no worrying about farming money for a while...
I'll have plenty of time for the festivities!
Eonwe Valar: Congrats :}
ArPharazonV: so also my epic mount is now paid off, and I'm finally
living on my own money again :-)
Eonwe Valar: Druid spells and Talents for the Burning Crusade has also
been released.
Eonwe Valar: hehe, good job :}
Eonwe Valar: Speaking of which, the recent WoW patch changed how that
works now :}
FinduilasV: wow ... , nice nice nice :-) , Failivrin made a good run
with Valandile, a warrior she met on the way in Wetlands and Gondoline
joined Valandile and Failivrin in deadmines
ArPharazonV: yeah, they increased the epic riding skill to about 800g
FinduilasV: for Van clef
Eonwe Valar: You're paying the big money for the riding skill, which
works for all mounts you can get, and less momeny for the mount itself.
ArPharazonV: and decreased the epic mounts to 80
Eonwe Valar: *money
ArPharazonV: yup, riding skill works for all mounts now
ArPharazonV: though I hear the mounts are now bind on pickup, and you
still need to get exalted with a faction to get those mounts
Haleth V has left the room.
Eonwe Valar: Anything further for WoW before I move to LotRO? :}
ArPharazonV: aye, we killed Faerlina this week!
ArPharazonV: second of the 3 bosses in the Naxxramas Spider Wing
ArPharazonV: and made good progress on the third, Maexxna, got her down
to 9%
ArPharazonV: we'll try to kill her this Tuesday
Haleth V has entered the room.
Menelvagor Valar: Ok, minor change, since the article the presentation
linked to requires you to login at the New York Times site (free), now
I relinked it to a word doc: http://www.geocities.com/turgon_nhl/files/school_system.doc
(yes, this is right
Eonwe Valar: Good luck.
ArPharazonV: thanks
Haleth V: bleah... I think I might give up for this meeting - I have no
idea what's wrong with the internet. I think I'll spend a couple
minutes poking around
Eonwe Valar: Good luck Haleth
Haleth V: Thanks =)
Haleth V: Namarie, all!
Eonwe Valar: Have you updated to the latest AIM?
Haleth V: Nope, I'm using Gaim.
Eonwe Valar: Ah
ArPharazonV: Namarie then, Haleth
Haleth V: And it's not just AIM - MSN Messenger keeps crashing as well.
Haleth V: Namarie =)
Eonwe Valar: AIM's been updated, so not sure how that might affect you.
ArPharazonV: and I could've sworn you were French.. who am I confused
with then?
Haleth V: lol
Haleth V: Japanese =)
Haleth V: anwyay, I'll try to make it to the anniversary meeting. =)
Eonwe Valar: OK :}
Eonwe Valar: Take care :}
Haleth V has left the room.

Eonwe Valar: Your floor, Scatha.
STEvilaim: www.jenovachen.com
- the guy who runs this site is writing a thesis on flow in games..
might be intersting to a couple of you guys ;-)
STEvilaim: i've been reading and posting in the forums a bit.. getting
pretty deep;
STEvilaim: writing a post right now actually.. up to about 5,000 words..
Eonwe Valar: Apparently not our Forums :}
STEvilaim: no
Eonwe Valar: I haven't had to read a 5000 word post there yet :}
ArPharazonV: oh, I could try one, if you like! I could make a huge
background story for Calion's family that goes back 5 generations ;-)
ArPharazonV: in the rp, that is
Eonwe Valar: Er, let's keep those posts readable in under 30 years :}
Eonwe Valar: Anyway, on with Scatah's Tolkien topic :}
Eonwe Valar: *Scatha's
STEvilaim: i have a tolkien topic?
ArPharazonV: heh
Eonwe Valar: Er, You said you did :}
ArPharazonV: I think he meant his other topic just now :-)
Eonwe Valar: I said whisper me for Tolkien Topics, and you whispered :}
STEvilaim: oh, I thought I had a gaming news item..
STEvilaim: technically it branches into all forms of gaming I guess..
Eonwe Valar: Heh, everyone please be specific about what type of news
item you have when you whisper :}
STEvilaim: my bad :p
Eonwe Valar: NP :}
Eonwe Valar: Everyone gets stuck with my Tolkien Topic is all :}
top
Tolkien:
Eonwe Valar: Language in Middle-Earth. Tolkien created the languages
then built the world around them. So, what can we glean about the races
from their languages?
ArPharazonV: Dwarves, for example, are a tough and relatively secretive
race
ArPharazonV: as such, their language is known to few, and those words
that are known consist of harsh sounds, harsher than the Elven languages
FinduilasV: and not much of the language is known apart from the war
cry and the mountain names
FinduilasV: khazad ai menu, azanlnubishar, keled zaram
Eonwe Valar: Known to few non-Dwarves. However, all Dwarves know
Khuzdul.
ArPharazonV: yes, that's what I meant :-)
Eonwe Valar: Azanulbizar, btw :}
FinduilasV: *a nice tongue twister the dwarf language must be*, as sam
sais
ArPharazonV: I'd love to learn Khuzdul ;-)
Eonwe Valar: Might take a while :}
FinduilasV: mo chridhe, gaidhlig is enough heh and thats a nice
language :-)
ArPharazonV: Baruk Khazâd!
FinduilasV: :P
Eonwe Valar: Thus we know "Baruk" is "Axe" :}
ArPharazonV: btw, http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf/khuzdul.htm
has a limited wordlist of the Dwarven language
ArPharazonV: at the bottom
Eonwe Valar: Thanks
ArPharazonV: not sure about the sources, though
Eonwe Valar: They don't share their sources?
ArPharazonV: (originally based on a list compiled by Lisa Star that
appeared in Tyalië Tyelelliéva #4 p.22; she in turn thanked
Jim Gillogly, Alberto Monteiro and Anthony Appleyard for helpful
comments and suggestions).
ArPharazonV: it doesn't actually state any works by Tolkien
Eonwe Valar: Well that doesn't help much.
ArPharazonV: though some words do give sources themselves
ArPharazonV: or.. well... most do, it seems
ArPharazonV: so that's allright
FinduilasV: it seems that the explanation of the words name some of the
sources
ArPharazonV: indeed :-)
Eonwe Valar: That's at least something.
Eonwe Valar: So, Khuzdul reflects Dwarves well, hard to learn and
didn't see much change :}
ArPharazonV: indeed
Eonwe Valar: It did affect some Mannish languages though if memory
serves.
FinduilasV: will be able to check that soon, eonwe :-) some time next
week :-)
Eonwe Valar: ok :}
Eonwe Valar: So what about Elves?
ArPharazonV: graceful, subtle, and unaging :-)
ArPharazonV: both language and people
FinduilasV: Well theres the different peoples, and as i remember their
dialects sundered
ArPharazonV: true, as their peoples seperated, so did their tongues
ArPharazonV: so it was more changeful than the
ArPharazonV: Dwarven language, at least
FinduilasV: Vanyar who never left Valinor
FinduilasV: Noldor
ArPharazonV: Sindar
FinduilasV: lived their but then got exiled
FinduilasV: yes
Eonwe Valar: Actually, it seems that the languages did change in
Valinor.
FinduilasV: and Avari
Eonwe Valar: It says the Noldor were always changing their own
language, and it also says that Finarfin had to learn the tongue of the
Teleri.
FladrifV: namarie!
ArPharazonV: Namarie!
Eonwe Valar: Take care Fladrif :}
FinduilasV: the dictionary i have i Sindarin
FinduilasV: Namarie Flad!F
FinduilasV: ;!
ArPharazonV: interesting, it seems the page I linked is part of a
larger database with many languages included
ArPharazonV: http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf/
ArPharazonV: "The most comprehensive site about Tolkien's invented
languages that you are likely to find on the net."
Eonwe Valar: Beren's Lorebook does well for Quenya.
Eonwe Valar: afk for a quick sec.
ArPharazonV: I'm not saying it is the most comprehensive site, I'm just
saying that any site which would call itself that should at least be
worth to check out :-)
Eonwe Valar: back
Eonwe Valar: hehe, Phar. I probably will check it out at some point :}
FinduilasV: ah where is that priest when ye need him > Filivrin
FinduilasV: meaning Valandile
FladrifV has left the room.

Eonwe Valar: So far, there's talk of WC3 for Anniversary day.
ArPharazonV: ;-)
VardaValar1: Cool
Eonwe Valar: And some guy named Eonwë said any member of the
Lothar branch can e-mail him until the end of Wednesday for a Tabard if
they don't already have one :}
VardaValar1: How about everyone emailing a Happy anniversary message to
spam the News page? : )
ArPharazonV: yeah, that Eonwe guy must be crazy, paying all that gold
on tabards
VardaValar1: ohh, great idea!
ArPharazonV: don't know why you let him in the guild in the first place!
Eonwe Valar: :}
VardaValar1: For Uldaman, same thing then, but email Gilbrennil who may
have to pass the hat but will get the tabard!
VardaValar1: Crazy, first qualification. ;-)
ArPharazonV: good point :0

are very expensive there) and me setting off fireworks if I can swing
some WoW time.
VardaValar1: Gilbrennil is kind of low level, but I'll find a way!
VardaValar1: hehe
Eonwe Valar: I'm going to at least try to show up in Valar channel on
bnet to give our old chatspot a little company.
VardaValar1: yay!
Eonwe Valar: And of course in here to help hold it open for the day, if
not a popin for the week.
Eonwe Valar: or rather, multiple popins during the week.
VardaValar1: I could try to pop into WoW both sides Oct 4, as well as
chat
VardaValar1: Any additions to the Tolkien site for the anniversary can
be labeled as such : )
Eonwe Valar: :}
Orodreth V: /me yarrs
Orodreth V: yes, snowballs are expensive...actually, I even wonder if I
have any left
Orodreth V: sure I can find some on market if all else fails.
VardaValar1: I have a very few left in my WoW Lothar account, saving
for a special occasion.
VardaValar1: This sounds special. ;-)
Orodreth V: Yea, but what will you do for the 10th anniverary, though?
VardaValar1: Something else. : )
Orodreth V: I know what I'll do in eve, buy my entire corp snowballs
and launchers and have a very isk-wasting fight.
Orodreth V: but it'sll be worth it
VardaValar1: Sounds fun : )
Orodreth V: snowballs are pretty in eve.
VardaValar1: We can knock each other down with them in WoW without
causing damage.
Orodreth V: yea, no damage or agression in eve

particle effects they normally had no need for. :p
