Fladrifv: all of them :-)
VardaValar1: Nice! Fladrif can join up with any of you : )
VardaValar1: Don't forget you can use AIM to call to each other for a
game, rather as we were using Battlenet : )
VardaValar1: LotRO
Report for Monday:
VardaValar1: Alatar, Ancalagon, Arminas, Beleg, Finduilas, Irmo,
Legolas, Melkor, Merry, Miriel, Orome, and Varda.
VardaValar1: Those were the ones I saw : )
VardaValar1: We had higher level grouping with those in their 30's and
lower level grouping for those in their upper teens.
VardaValar1: Leveling, questing, crafting, swapping, chatting.
VardaValar1: I do not know which quests were going on, but a lot of
people were grouped with each other
VardaValar1: Arien, WoW Argent Dawn report?
AriehnV: Yes indeed
AriehnV: a short one ;-)
VardaValar1: Go ahead, please : )
AriehnV: On thursday Pharazons Rogue, Caldros, and my Shaman
Draeneivrin got together to search for a certain gem
AriehnV: at Mog Rosh Stronghold
AriehnV: There we met two other fellow fighters interested in those
ogres, joined forces and after a little while we found the gem , after
which we helped the other two to bring down Chok Sul
AriehnV: Caldros promised Draeneivrin to make two water breathing
potions, so cooperation seems to work
AriehnV: She will start her water Quest
AriehnV: And report from the outlands is that Finduilasse reached the
fulness of age, meaning lvl 70 :-)
AriehnV: this endeth my report
AriehnV: anything to add, Phara?
VardaValar1: Thank ou, Arien, and congrats on topping out on the levels!
ArPharazonV: oh, yes
ArPharazonV: I couldn't remember the exact name of the shaman who
wanted the potions, so I sent them to Finduilaswen
ArPharazonV: you'll have to pass them along
AriehnV: oki dok , will do
ArPharazonV: allright, I don't think I have anything else to add
VardaValar1: Thanks, Phar
VardaValar1: Fladrif, go ahead.
Fladrifv: Thank you Varda
Fladrifv: I want to add that I will quit wow for some time
Fladrifv: the reason for this is that mmorpg games take too much time
and focus too much on one game, in change I will play more different
games now
Fladrifv: also will I move badk to warcraft3
VardaValar1: Will you be in East?
VardaValar1: Valar channel? : )
Fladrifv: so sorry you people on wow,
Fladrifv: thanks for the good time :-)
AriehnV: /me lets out a long drawn sigh
Fladrifv: *pats Arien and burns some branches*
VardaValar1: You folks also have WC3 and might catch him there
sometimes.
Fladrifv: and plan to battle with arphar and more on different games
Eonwe Valar: *Seizes this moment to remind everyone to keep their
gaming info up-to-date on the Games Page*
ArPharazonV: sounds good to me.. I'll still be playing WoW, but after
getting exalted with the n-th faction this week I'm running out of
things to do with my main, so I'm allright with playing other games
from time to time :-)
VardaValar1: Thanks, Fladrif and everyone
VardaValar1: The best way to keep the Games Page up to date is to email
Eonwe
VardaValar1: WoW
Lothar report, Eonwe?
Eonwe Valar: I'm afraid after long hours for finals week, I didn't
spend much time at all on WoW Friday.
VardaValar1: Sounds as if you have your priorities straight. : )
Eonwe Valar: I know Fangorn and Bilbo were playing together, and Elwing
came on before I left.
Eonwe Valar: That's all I have to tell.
VardaValar1: Thank you, Eonwe : )
VardaValar1: WoW
Uldaman. I was late and missed Elwing. So it was a similar story.
VardaValar1: We need those players in here to report. : )
VardaValar1: At least it keeps the gaming section short. ;-)

VardaValar1: Tolkien:
MrMonkey2002Blah has left the room.
VardaValar1: Fladrif was just
mentioning how difficult it is to make any story or art or game match
with every person's imagination
of it.
VardaValar1: Does this mean, however, that we should not do any story,
art, or game based on a book?
VardaValar1: It does mess with the individual's imagination of the
book, seeing another interpretation.
VardaValar1: The person may even feel angry, seeing his favorite parts
rendered in a way not fitting his thoughts.
Eonwe Valar: I think if adequate attempts are made to stick to the
established lore/spirit of said lore, there's nothing wrong with it. In
the case of games, involvement of the story's creator helps.
VardaValar1: We've seen this over and over in rants from a great many
people.
Fladrifv: Im interested in what trades are made due to all influences
from abroad like films fan art and movies
VardaValar1: JRRT is not alive to help PJ or LotRO. What do we do there?
Eonwe Valar: Christopher Tolkien is. I think he's dug through his
father's lore enough to qualify at least as a substitute.
VardaValar1: I have seen so many versions of any particular character,
that I am rather toughened to new ideas. Such as that one is cool, that
one is really off.
VardaValar1: But I enjoy seeing the various interpretations, or could
not run our Tolkien site. ; )
VardaValar1: I doubt if we can consult Christopher for every story or
image. But I wonder what he thinks of Balrog wings. ; )
VardaValar1: He might actually know!
VardaValar1: Do we have another topic?
VardaValar1: Who were mothers that we saw in Middle-earth? : )
Eonwe Valar: Rose Gamgee :}
ArPharazonV: Gilraen
VardaValar1: Celebrian
Eonwe Valar: Galadriel
VardaValar1: Elwing
Eonwe Valar: *nudges room* There's plenty to choose from :}
ArPharazonV: Aredhel
VardaValar1: Arwen
ArPharazonV: Idril
VardaValar1: (Irmo says hi)
VardaValar1: He's heading for bed
ArPharazonV: Miriel, Indis...
ArPharazonV: Luthien
ArPharazonV: Melian
ArPharazonV: so many indeed!
VardaValar1: Lobelia
VardaValar1: Ok, guess we're pretty much not here. : )
VardaValar1: *bangs gavel*
VardaValar1: Go party!
ArPharazonV: I'm here!
VardaValar1: (Beleg just suggested Lobelia)
VardaValar1: Hiya Phar : )
AriehnV has left the room.
VardaValar1: Merry is in LotRO now
VardaValar1: Beleg, Merry and I are getting into talking about the Fall
of Gondolin
VardaValar1: Irmo calls "Melian" as he logs off. : )
Eonwe Valar: Morwen
Eonwe Valar: Ungoliant.
VardaValar1: ohh
VardaValar1: I"m passing these to the LotRO crowd :-)
ArPharazonV: Ungoliant's a good one!
Eonwe Valar: \No one ever thinks about the evil ones :}
VardaValar1: Lobelia wasn't exactly evil...
VardaValar1: They got a kick out of Ungoliant : )
VardaValar1: Aredhel is getting a mention again, but people are also
giving who they are mother of. : )

After-meeting:
VardaValar1: Don't guess RingCast/Elrond is going to get to tell about
his LotRO site with the PodCast
