Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:05 PM

FladrifVToday at 4:07 PM
I will not be able to attend the whole meeting so I have time
ArienValarToday at 4:07 PM

since both Varda and Eonwe are absent
FladrifVToday at 4:09 PM
we can always speak a bit less hasty to make it last for a couple of
weeks
ArienValarToday at 4:12 PM
True enough :slight_smile:
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:16 PM

Elen sila Lumenn omentielvo! A star
shines upon the hour of our meeting
Membership news:
it is a pleasure to have a rare visitor and an Ent is showing roots
and leaves :slight_smile:
so yes we are here \o/
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:18 PM
Uprooted from his slumber. Hum hoom.
ArienValarToday at 4:19 PM
On that note . Eonwe and Varda are not here. Varda is with Fladrif
[Fangorn] at DeepgroverT s place to receive a model , the Aragorn
model that is on our site.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:19 PM
Yay art!
ArienValarToday at 4:19 PM
Eonwe is busy with work :/
FladrifVToday at 4:20 PM
mumbles that it was only half a step away from his hill and there
was no point not joining the moot
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:21 PM
And I'm back after not being here last meeting!
ArienValarToday at 4:22 PM
Very Good welcome back :slight_smile:
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:22 PM
You ready to hear the story of Pharazon and his hdd?
FladrifVToday at 4:22 PM
taps his ssd's and waits patiently for the story
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:23 PM
Well, speaking of ssd, I guess I could start the story about, oh, 7
months ago when some parts of my pc needed to be replaced and I
figured I'd get an ssd to speed up windows and WoW.
Turns out... it's very good I did that.
Fast forward to last sunday.
Couple of hours before the meeting, I'm just raiding along in
Warcraft, killing some naga. When I notice a repetitive sound coming
from my pc.
It's the sound it usually made when really busy or activating some
drive or partition, but never at this frequency.
I try to open the partitions on my old hdd, which is also still
attached. Two work fine, the third shows as empty when I open it.
When I click a shortcut to a folder on that partition, it also shows
as empty. Yeah, must be a display thing.
When I right click any of the partitions on the hdd, explorer shuts
down a for a bit, and nothing pops up.
So I say to my raider friends, this ain't good, I'll try to reboot,
see what happens.
And sure enough.. trying to reboot, the repetitive sound happens
again for a bit, while a screen shows with a message to press del or
f2 to enter bios menu. Neither button works.
ArienValarToday at 4:27 PM
always :slight_smile:
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:28 PM
The sound doesn't last long, but it's still frozen. So I force
another reboot, and the same thing happens. I continue to fear the
worst.
I log onto my dad's pc, leave a few messages here and there, and
open up my computer case. Indeed, sound's coming from my harddrive.
I have no idea what the SSD looks like so I figure maybe they put it
in the same shell or something? At this point I'm not quite sure
which drive is really the culprit, or even how to disconnect one
without losing the other.
Monday morning, I take the whole thing to the shop. They say, that's
the SSD, that little card right there, so okay, I know the HDD's the
problem for sure.
They take it in, check it, call me that afternoon. Sure enough, they
can't access the HDD in any way, ask if I have important stuff on
there, and if I do, they advise me to send it to a specialist for
like... 900 euros. Minimum. I say... maybe one day, but not yet.
I'll just store it for now.
But they do offer me a new HDD, bigger than the old one, 3k gb
rather than 2k. Or well, they offer to replace the 2k and I suggest
the bigger one. Not too expensive, really.
And on thursday the HDD comes in, and I get to pick it up, just in
time for the thursday raid.
So what do I have... my C partition on the SSD, complete with
documents, pictures, desktop contents, and, indeed, WoW with
everything attached.
My other documents folder is gone, together with a bunch of install
files, music tracks, art, the old AIM meeting transcripts, and a lot
of other stuff. Also gone is the rest of the stuff on my old HHD,
including almost every game, pretty much all my music, more art,
episodes of series, comics, content from my older pcs, my old
stories...
ArienValarToday at 4:34 PM
:frowning:
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:35 PM
But WoW's here, my browsers are still here, my desktop stuff is
still here, and almost everything I lost is something I really
looked at or listened to anymore. So while it's a pretty big loss..
the relevant things can easily be replaced.
ArienValarToday at 4:35 PM
months of work
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:35 PM
Years, really. 10+ years of stuff.
ArienValarToday at 4:35 PM
:/
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:35 PM
I never backed it up, it was way too much and constantly being added
to.
But I take comfort in the idea that it's still up in my room, just
locked away behind a pile of money.
So in the last few days I've tried to get back into WoW, while
installing a bunch of old games and downloading some new stuff. And
that's where I'm at now!
ArienValarToday at 4:36 PM
some adventure of the pc kind
i bet bruce maybe could recover them :slight_smile:
he is a data recover specialist
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:37 PM
Could be. But sending them overseas seems even more of a hassle
:wink:
ArienValarToday at 4:38 PM
yeah or you invite him and he comes ofver for a couple of dayhs
:smile:
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:38 PM
hehe
FladrifVToday at 4:38 PM
can always send it here, ill have a look at it if you want
ArienValarToday at 4:38 PM
you two shouldn t be too far apart or?
FladrifVToday at 4:38 PM
a quater 1000 km
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:38 PM
I can't keep track of Flad's location, ironically enough for a tree.
ArienValarToday at 4:39 PM
you know Ent strides are quite big
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:39 PM
One moment in Sweden, one moment in Germany, one moment in New
Zealand.
ArienValarToday at 4:39 PM
and at the moment, Fladrif, whereabouts are you ?
FladrifVToday at 4:40 PM
Germany so its not too bad this time
ArienValarToday at 4:41 PM
whereabouts?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:41 PM
Well, I'll consider it then :slight_smile:
I actually downloaded and installed 400gb of stuff since thursday on
my new hdd, currently defragging it :stuck_out_tongue:
And I guess that's my story!
ArienValarToday at 4:43 PM
thanks Phari :slight_smile:
Webnews: Varda is still working on a story with 25 chapters
[by Shirebound] which she couldnt quite manage to put online and
busy with an original novel of her own :open_mouth:
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:44 PM
Ooh. An actual novel?
ArienValarToday at 4:44 PM
Aye
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:45 PM
I lost all the documented pieces of my old 6-book epic fantasy story
I started like 15 years ago. But the main threads are still in my
head, and it wasn't much written down to begin with. Not that I have
any ambition to complete it :slight_smile:
ArienValarToday at 4:45 PM
so we can look forward to our Starlady joining the studded universe
of people that claim the greatest fame today
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:45 PM
Indeed!

guys who pull the ropes of my ship to change the course a bit ?
but then .. it might change the length of dzay and year , so maybe
not an option :wink:
FladrifVToday at 5:01 PM

Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:55 PM
I'm reminded of a forum game we used to play on a warcraft 3 forum.
It involved making lists of whatever, names, shows, anything, and
then every post would take one point away from one name and add it
to another. If a name reached 0 (starting at 10) it would be removed
from the list, until only one name remained.
It would usually result in a posting war between supporters of 2 or
3 remaining names.
One day I went overboard and made a giant list of every character I
could find in the Hobbit, LotR, Sil, etc.
VardaToday at 5:56 PM
o oh
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:57 PM
It never went very far as nearly everyone agreed that the game would
take waaaay too long :wink:
ArienValarToday at 5:57 PM
was that a subtle hint ;)?
it is way over the time anyway the hour is long past
VardaToday at 5:58 PM
They didnt just cede you the internet?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:58 PM
Not really, just a mention that we shouldn't try that particular
game...
VardaToday at 5:58 PM
'tis thy gavel, m'lady.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:58 PM
and that there are a great deal many more names than we've given so
far :smile:
But Arien should feel free to continue with L :wink:
ArienValarToday at 5:59 PM
hehe let us call it for now , lady and gentle man :slight_smile: ]
VardaToday at 5:59 PM
By your leave. ; )
ArienValarToday at 5:59 PM
let us save the names for another day or night
VardaToday at 5:59 PM
or After-meeting!
ArienValarToday at 5:59 PM
or aftermeeting indeed ..
*sends a ray into the air until it reaches the gavel on the highest
hook .. gavel jumps down in golden colour .. but discovers it can
only move in Ent strides and losses balance with a loud clash it
bangs to the ground .. Manwe has pity and blows the gavel back to
its hook * ..

good one :slight_smile:
VardaToday at 6:07 PM
hah, does an atheist refuse presents? : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:07 PM
Take it from an atheist... they don't :wink:
In fact, religion or not, it's a nice reason to get together with
family, have a nice meal, and decorate the house.
We.. even have a tiny stable with the traditional figures, just for
tradition.
Blasphemy, or just playing along? Up to interpretation
:slight_smile:
VardaToday at 6:10 PM
Or just fun?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:10 PM
I'll take it!
VardaToday at 6:11 PM
yay!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:12 PM
Early christmas present: The Carbot Starcrafts finale will
be released next saturday.
VardaToday at 6:12 PM
Yay!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:13 PM
It's the end of 7 seasons over 7 years of a cute Starcraft story,
which is sad, but also exciting... it'll be over 30 minutes, which
is by far the longest episode. In fact, it's bigger than all of
season 1!
All the earlier seasons have been re-released in complete videos of
1 per season, too, so it's a good time to get into it!
Unfortunately, saturday probably means for me that I'll have to wait
until sunday. Maybe I'll watch it on the big screen sunday
afternoon, using our tv's youtube function :slight_smile:
VardaToday at 6:18 PM
Patience : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:19 PM
Been a long wait, one more week won't hurt.

Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:11 PM
But it doesn't look like I got a new badge, so it must've been games
I'd played before. I've got a nice one I replayed though.
Alright, let's go with these 3!
https://www.kongregate.com/games/Kajenx/ether-war
is the first game! I might've mentioned it once or twice before, but
I like replaying it when it comes up so I might as well share it
again.

is the second game, a 2d platformer based on the Portal game, where
you cross levels by shooting portals onto walls etc and walking
through them.

Level 380 now, with Li-Ming to 15. Fun hero, but time to let her
retire for now and resume working on Nazeebo for the next Diablo
assassin hero :slight_smile:
Hearthstone:
Whole bunch of heroes got to 60! Shaman, mage, warrior, hunter,
rogue and druid.
That only leaves the warlock and the priest, who are right at the
edge. Should be no problem to get them in the next week!
After that.. I'm not sure. I should work on wins, but the quests to
just play with the classes are nice and simple. Maybe I'll
completely revamp their basic decks and let the game figure out what
works :wink:
As for the brawls, the one for the previous week was one where you
have 10 mana all game, where I cheesed it a little with a Malygos
for spellpower and a ton of cheap damage spells on hunter.
This week it was Decorating Dalaran for the holidays, where the idea
is to do as much damage as possible and open gifts on the board to
get there. Got pretty far with a jade druid deck where I would
constantly build bigger jade minions, and actually had to let the AI
kill me at one point before the turns run out :slight_smile:
WoW:
Let me think....
More raiding, last reset before holiday break. Not the belt I
wanted, but a few new appearances.
Weeklies were pet battling, which I used to get halfway through the
flying family brawl achievement, and timewalks, on which I'm still
working, because this reset I'm a bit short on time :wink:
Got a new item from the green dragons, plate bracers for the
warrior. He's now done with all his appearances from the event, just
a staff and 2 leather items to go.
Also sent him and my lowlevel hunter to Alterac for the Alterac
Valley vendor standing at the entrance outside the battleground,
selling gear only available during the event, with a few appearances
unique to them. With those two characters, some timewarped badges
and a few marks of honor, I managed to grab all the unique
appearances. Getting there with the hunter was quite an adventure
though, and she died a few times to undead guards :wink:
And finally, got that Kings' Rest achievement I was after, with a
new mummy pet as a reward! Very cute.
Oh, and I decided to stop checking Zandalar WQs every day, since
it's now been 3 months since the last new one. Seems like a good
time.
And that's it! Didn't have much time this week, and if there's more
I did last week, I didn't document and didn't remember :wink:
And that's my report for the last 2 weeks.
Namarie!

Oh, there's more! I also got Tyrande the priest hero for free in Hearthstone
as she was recently re-released that way, and I finally got the last
appearance I was missing from the Legion worldbosses. So I can stop
looking out for those as well :wink:
Now, namarie!

Oi, I keep missing stuff in my notes. Also got a new mount from
expeditions, an armored bat, in WoW :smile:
Looks very neat.
Namarie (for the third time)!
