Pallando, you have some news?
Pallando does have some gaming news but seems to be away at the
moment.
Feel free to give a holler when you're ready!
Eonwe has been working on the Games Site in a lot of ways,
and with coding that we hope to use on the rest of the site as well
such as the community and Tolkien Site.
He reworked the code for the sections for Lord of the Rings Online
so we now show Stout-axes and higher levels.
Also, all three player sections there are now updated as of
yesterday's information.

Pallando-ValarYesterday at 4:26 PM
Sorry about that!
VardaYesterday at 4:26 PM
No problem.
Pallando-ValarYesterday at 4:28 PM
So, in Eve generally there has been
some nice small changes coming. CCP has dedicated a small team to
doing small changes every two weeks. So far the changes have been
mostly positive with a couple of duds, but they seem to have a good
idea of what they're going to be doing in the new year, so that's
looking interesting.
CCP's work on the new player experience continues, so there's never
a better time etc etc
VardaYesterday at 4:28 PM
That really does sound like a good idea.
Pallando-ValarYesterday at 4:29 PM
More personally, I'm training for my upcoming Grand Championship
tournament in Iceland, which I won a place to (along with my
partner) back in June at the Toronto Eve meetup
VardaYesterday at 4:30 PM
Woot! How goes the training?
Pallando-ValarYesterday at 4:30 PM
It's hard, as the ruleset won't be revealed until 3 days before,
but.. general practice is good.
VardaYesterday at 4:30 PM
Any way we can help?
Pallando-ValarYesterday at 4:30 PM
Not right now.. maybe closer to the event. :slight_smile:
Additionally, my group has been prosecuting a long campaign against
a group of bullies. We managed to get into the ingame office
CCP-produced news, which you can see here: https://youtu.be/riOCXfxwhXc
YouTube
EVE Online
The Scope - Triglavian developments and fighting
in HEK.
That was the first big fight in the war. It's a bit of a complex
tale that I'll have to do a whole writeup on eventually, but this is
effectively a continuation of a several previous wars. We're winning
quite handily, but it's not over yet.
The bullies are currently very mad that we fought back.
VardaYesterday at 4:33 PM
How dare you fight back. : )
Pallando-ValarYesterday at 4:34 PM
They got used to being able to push over any group they looked at.
When we first pushed back in April, they told us "We could have just
fought over your two structures in our space, but you had to fight
beyond that." In other words, it's okay for them to attack us, but
if we attack them, that's going too far.
I disagree with that sort of mentality in general, as well as their
standard M.O.: Join us, pay us, or die. So we're systematically
dismantling their operations. Expect an update in a few months..
That's it here.
AnarionYesterday at 4:36 PM
Well, people gotta eat, and in EVE that means extortion haha
VardaYesterday at 4:36 PM
Thanks, Pallando : )
AnarionYesterday at 4:36 PM
Aiya folks
VardaYesterday at 4:36 PM
Aiya Anarion : )
Anarion, what are you gaming in these days?
AnarionYesterday at 4:37 PM
Right now a bunch of BBCF, some Planetside,
and Dota of course.
BBCF (Blazeblue Centralfiction) is a fighting game that is a
couple years old, but is still the main game in the BB franchise
It and GGXrd are the main ArcSys fighters on PC until GranBlue
Fantasy Versus comes out for the PC eventually.
Dota 2 has recently had a major
update where they changed everything and so people are scrambling to
figure out how to play the new patch.
Planetside 2 mostly just
stays being the MMOFPS that it is.
That's about it at the moment
VardaYesterday at 4:41 PM
Thank you. That's a bunch.

Tolkien!
If you have a topic, feel free to bring it up before I bring one up,
or even after, or even type during the week.
What do you think was Gandalf's mission to
Middle-earth? More than one? Did he succeed?
AnarionYesterday at 4:49 PM
Alright, so first thing is finding out what time the wizards as a
group started doing stuff and if there are any clues as to why. I'm
completely out of information in memory for this, so it's time to do
some quick research:
VardaYesterday at 4:49 PM
Research is always good. : )
AnarionYesterday at 4:50 PM
Online says that the wizards "came to Middle-earth after the first
millennium of the Third Age", but I can't find a primary source for
this
It's actually apparently a matter of some mystery, as some notes
mentioned in Unfinished Tales suggest that at least one of the
wizards showed up as early as the second age
Moreover, the other wizards don't appear have clear purposes,
necessarily. Radagast for instance doesn't seem to explicitly do
much (anything?) intentional to help or hinder the free peoples.
So...mission? Gandalf was doing Maiar things.
VardaYesterday at 4:54 PM
Return of the King, Appendix B is one source of time.
AnarionYesterday at 4:54 PM
That said, Gandalf did have a purpose in mind for himself to oppose
Sauron
VardaYesterday at 4:54 PM
Third Age
AnarionYesterday at 4:55 PM
Okay, nice.
In this, I think Gandalf was largely successful, even as he died
saving the ringbearer from certain doom. Sure he'd wish to do more
of course, but nonetheless
As Gandalf the White, he was no less than wildly successful
VardaYesterday at 4:55 PM
A thousand years after the end of the Second Age.
"When maybe a thousand years had passed, and the first shadow had
fallen on Greenwood the Great, the Istari or Wizards appeared in
Middle-earth."
"It was afterwards said that they came out of the Far West and were
messengers sent to contest the power of Sauron, and to unite all
those who had the will to resist him; but they were forbidden to
match his power with power, or to seek to dominate Elves or Men by
force or fear."
AnarionYesterday at 5:00 PM
That is interesting. In this Gandalf was bending the rules a bit
Well, a lot
VardaYesterday at 5:00 PM
Saruman bent the rules with a baseball bat.
AnarionYesterday at 5:01 PM
I mean, to be fair, it was in response to that, yes.
VardaYesterday at 5:01 PM
What way did Gandalf bend the rules?
AnarionYesterday at 5:03 PM
He directly attacked Sauron's greatest agents, including Theoden
(under Saruman), Saruman himself, and the ringwraiths at the Battle
of Minas Tirith.
It is worth noting that the ringwraiths are direct expressions of
Sauron's magical abilities
VardaYesterday at 5:04 PM
As Gandalf the White, he was given more latitude to fight, and was a
solo.
AnarionYesterday at 5:04 PM
Oh, good point, that command was against them as a group
VardaYesterday at 5:04 PM
Right.
AnarionYesterday at 5:06 PM
In general Gandalf was extremely active in uniting groups of people
to attack Sauron's minions, and when actually confronting said
minions, tended to do more work than said group
Though interestingly he avoided directly challenging Smaug
VardaYesterday at 5:07 PM
He gathered the dwarves and a hobbit to remove Smaug from the
chokepoint, but did not fight there himself. He stopped at the edge
of Mirkwood. Right.
He set them up, but they had to do the work.
AnarionYesterday at 5:08 PM
Hrm, that's a lot more true of The Hobbit than the main series
Gandalf himself was likely more than a match for the trolls, but he
instead decided to just break a big rock
VardaYesterday at 5:09 PM
Let the sun shine in? : )
AnarionYesterday at 5:09 PM
;)
Come to think of it, I wonder if the Balrog was fair game because it
wasn't native to Middle Earth
VardaYesterday at 5:10 PM
Bilbo proved himself to the dwarves to be more useful than expected.
Gandalf needed to step in when they had done al they could.
Good point. The Balrog was a Maia. A foe beyond any of them.
AnarionYesterday at 5:11 PM
Gandalf really actually didn't bend the rules as much as I thought
VardaYesterday at 5:11 PM
Gets tricky.
AnarionYesterday at 5:11 PM
He was doing what he was supposed to, Radagast was sort of doing
what he was supposed to based on his capacity to do, and the
others...well...really didn't.
VardaYesterday at 5:12 PM
Aye to that! : )
Radagast was sidetracked a lot by seeing the animals and plants as
more vulnerable victims. He did help Gandalf when asked.
He was unaware of Saruman's treachery.
AnarionYesterday at 5:13 PM
To be fair, there were plenty of animal and plants destroyed by the
war
VardaYesterday at 5:13 PM
True. Just ask Fangorn about that.
Besides, Gandalf and Saruman were handling that just fine, it
seemed.
And even the Blue Wizards had gone east into Sauron's own lands.
Surely he could move over to help the critters.
AnarionYesterday at 5:14 PM
Right, Saruman could've been amazing if he was actually acting in
concert with Gandalf. So many things would have been easier, and
Gandalf would have helped in the entrance to Mordor
VardaYesterday at 5:14 PM
It would have been so different!
AnarionYesterday at 5:15 PM
I wonder if it would've worked out for good though, the way things
worked out much of the fellowship needled Sauron into ignoring his
prize
VardaYesterday at 5:15 PM
But Sauron made Saruman despair. Palantiri were bad about helping
spread just what Sauron wanted to have them see.
Eru bends things to work for his vision at times. : )
If Faramir was to be blocked from joining the Fellowship, send in
his big brother to work things sideways.
So Gandalf had to rally the spirit of the various free peoples.
How about that thing with Theoden?
AnarionYesterday at 5:18 PM
Saruman also isn't from middle earth and isn't Sauron, so like the
Balrog in that respect possibly. As you pointed out he's also
Gandalf the White at that point. Theoden himself though motivated by
fear, isn't motivated by fear of Gandalf.
That said, the fact that they didn't kill the party on the spot,
that was due to fear of Gandalf.
VardaYesterday at 5:20 PM
The old man leaning on the staff for his old age?
AnarionYesterday at 5:20 PM
Not matching power with power
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:20 PM
Aiya!
AnarionYesterday at 5:20 PM
Aiya
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:20 PM
Sorry I'm late, health stuff; caught up with the chat now.
VardaYesterday at 5:20 PM
Aiya Phar! : )
Hey, take care of yourself. Glad you feel up to making it. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:21 PM
Gandalf came pretty close to dominating Bilbo with fear back at the
start of the book :wink:
For his own good, but still!
VardaYesterday at 5:21 PM
When Gandalf came into Theoden's throne room, he didn't attack with
magic to start.
AnarionYesterday at 5:21 PM
Oh right, that! I forgot about intimidating Bilbo.
VardaYesterday at 5:22 PM
Gandalf talked to Theoden. He sang of Galadriel to explain why his
companions didn't like the slight to her. His harsher words were to
Grima.
But then he did use magic with his staff.
He flattened Grima with it so he could speak directly with Theoden.
He brought in the light through the dark, literally and
figuratively, to Theoden.
Gandalf asked Theoden to come outside, to see that not all was dark
as he was told.
Theoden was the one to then say the time for fear is past.
AnarionYesterday at 5:25 PM
Ah, nice.
That detail is pretty sweet
VardaYesterday at 5:26 PM
He went outside, free of Grima's words, and began to see. He
realized what had been done.
No movie thing with the staff driving Saruman out of Theoden.
AnarionYesterday at 5:26 PM
To be honest, I don't think Gandalf could've been much more
successful aside from finding out about Saruman's treachery earlier.
VardaYesterday at 5:27 PM
That could have helped!
He trusted.
AnarionYesterday at 5:27 PM
No kidding, but everything else that Gandalf seems to fail at were
things that seem in-universe really, really hard to have succeeded
at
VardaYesterday at 5:27 PM
I don't blame Gandalf for his trust, but Saruman for giving in to
Sauron's deceit.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:28 PM
Pff, for the Balrog you just had to know his weaknesses.
I bet Gandalf didn't think to use frost magic.
VardaYesterday at 5:28 PM
Gandalf did win over the Balrog, even if it killed him.
hah, Phar : )
AnarionYesterday at 5:29 PM
Gandalf's fire was stronger than any ice that he may have had (if he
had), he specifically names his fire ability
VardaYesterday at 5:29 PM
Gandalf was already tired and much of his power and memory had been
removed to let him be a Wizard. The Balrog had no such problem.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:29 PM
yeah, but against a creature of flame and shadow...
VardaYesterday at 5:29 PM
True. Gandalf pulled the fire right out of the Balrog.
AnarionYesterday at 5:29 PM
But light damage though
VardaYesterday at 5:30 PM
Gandalf failed his perception check and the whip pulled him off the
bridge.
AnarionYesterday at 5:30 PM
As nice as insight is as a cleric, always train perception if
possible
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:30 PM
Never let your guard down.
VardaYesterday at 5:30 PM
For sure. ; )
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:30 PM
Learned that in the movie I watched yesterday.
VardaYesterday at 5:31 PM
A certain one that I haven't seen yet? : )
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:31 PM
Probably not, it's been out for a few years. Wonder Woman.
VardaYesterday at 5:31 PM
ah ok. That one I've seen.
I recommend re-reading the Gandalf and Theoden meeting. Especially
after the movies kind of wiped out what reallly happened in our
minds.
They needed something more visual.
Although I would have loved to see what really happened - would
still have been spectacular.
Ok, now we need to look at the Bilbo intimidation.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:33 PM
Must admit, there too I was mostly thinking of the movie, but I
recall a similar version in the book.
Less abridged.
VardaYesterday at 5:35 PM
Have to handle this Fellowship copy carefully. Lots of pages
trying to fall out.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:35 PM
Sounds familiar, but with one of my Discworld books I
believe.
VardaYesterday at 5:37 PM
O man. I forgot this part. Bilbo started to draw his sword on
Gandalf.
AnarionYesterday at 5:37 PM
Wait, what?
That explains Gandalf's actions a lot better!
VardaYesterday at 5:38 PM
That's when Gandalf started to get more magical about things.
Bilbo had done the party to make it easier to give away the Ring.
Gandalf was there when Bilbo went to get his things for the trip.
Bilbo changed his mind about leaving it and started calling it his
Precious.
Gandalf reminded him who else had called it that.
Then Bilbo started talking about how the Ring was his own now and he
would keep it.
Gandalf stood and spoke sternly but not in threat. He warned that
the Ring was taking too much hold on him and he needed to let it go
and be free.
Some words exchanged until Bilbo said Gandalf wanted the Ring
himself.
Tha's when "His hand strayed to the hilt of his small sword."
"It will be my turn to get angry soon., " he said. "If you say that
again, I shall. Then you will see Gandalf the Grey uncloaked."
He took a step towards the hobbit, and he seemed to grow tall and
menacing; his shadow filled the little room.
They face each other little while before Bilbo becomes more
reasonable in his argument.
"I'm not a thief, whatever he said"
"I have never called you one"
and Gandalf back down, turns away.
Bilbo draws a hand over his eyes, realizing what just happened.
AnarionYesterday at 5:45 PM
That makes the situation pretty clearly a matter of minimal
self-defense while also not abandoning the ring to the enemy
VardaYesterday at 5:45 PM
Gandalf helps Bilbo then to do what he says he wants to do. Bilbo is
able to leave and feels much lighter.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:45 PM
I wonder what their policy was concerning selfdefense where their
powers were concerned.
VardaYesterday at 5:45 PM
Good question.
I doubt they would allow others to kill them, but that leaves a lot
of room. Just putting that big shadow, with lightning, is enough to
back most down. : )
He probably recognized exactly what the Balrog's display was.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:47 PM
Heh. Like a peacock's feathers.
VardaYesterday at 5:47 PM
Pretty much!
Display instead of fighting is an excellent way to avoid damage to
both parties while making a point.
Well, we blew past the hour nearly to the next, but you were both
delightful to chat with. You made me think and dig, much
appreciated.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:48 PM
Glad I could still be of help :wink:
VardaYesterday at 5:49 PM
You always are. : )
AnarionYesterday at 5:49 PM
I enjoyed it greatly, thanks Varda
VardaYesterday at 5:49 PM

Blizzard gaming:
Heroes of the Storm:
first longer quest of the event done, started on the next one for
200 minion kills. No new levels. Only won one brawl of the 3, where
I was using Valla, the first hero I ever got :slight_smile: She's
still good, with some careful play can do serious damage on enemy
heroes.
Hearthstone:
Slowly making my way through the event quests for the new expansion.
They're pretty big, lots of spells, card-draws and turns to use.
Brawl is a new year's bash, where you work with the opposite player
to decorate the tavern and break the pinata boss. Had a bit of
trouble at first where the opposite player tried to damage me - you
can't in that brawl - and it was pretty close, but we got it in the
end with some careful spell use.
A bit luck based, but if you find a player who knows how it works
and you get ideas about how to deal with the party crashers, it
should be easy enough to get in a few tries, if not the first.
There's nothing more to tell about leveling the nine classes, now
that they're all maxed. I guess I could say when a hero reaches a
certain amount of wins, like 300 or something, but that'll be a rare
occasion. So Hearthstone news might be a bit bare from now on.
WoW:
Didn't have much time with christmas and family events going around,
but still some stuff done.
AnarionYesterday at 9:04 PM
I mean, those naturally take priority
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 9:04 PM
Of course :slight_smile: But it is noticeable.
I did get the bracers from Emeriss, leaving only one more item from
one more dragon among the anniversary bosses. Emeriss is by far the
most difficult, so glad for it to be done.
Winter Veil still going, with me visiting the Greench every day for
the daily quest, hoping for the Flames of Ragnaros illusion. No luck
so far.
Presents are under the tree, but have had no time for them yet. Got
a few days left, though, will be fine!
Speaking of flames, after getting the cinder kitten pet and using my
druid of the flame cat toy with it, I decided to embrace the theme
for my feral spec.
So I switched to the flamesaber mount for now, and put together a
nice transmog set with flames and yellow/orange pieces. Result came
out quite well!
Brawl this week was Arathi blizzard, which also took up a lot of
time. I needed 7 tries to win one.

Oh yes! Finally got the toy from the Proudmoore Admiralty paragon
supplies. Getting that music box, which plays the Daughter of the

collecting Proudmoore rep. But now I've got all the paragon rewards
from the basic BfA factions! Should really get to work on nazjatar

It's a nice tune, but a bit soft... can get overwhelmed by the music
already playing in an area.

You have to put it down, and then click on it. Can use it multiple

Toys are permanent additions to your toybox, with short-ish
cooldowns, so you can use them pretty much everywhere. This one
doesn't move with you, but you can put it down in a city or in a
raid when there's a break or something.

Cute, so more like a real music box

And finally, I guess, there's the World Quest weekly quest
:slight_smile: Still working on it, only at 13/20 so far. It's a
pretty easy one, since you can get it done just through your
emissaries. But still nice to get done.
And yep!
Even has a music box sound.

I see that there are a couple others listed from past expacs

Toys, or paragon rewards? Because the former is over 400.
And that's my report for the week! Though I can say I've got a new
keyboard, the Fury Hornet, pretty cheap, and has an anti-water
system by the use of tiny holes that go all the way through the
keyboard.
