Hurray for early!

I'm currently teaching my 4-year old to play LotRO, will check back soon

Web:
In the Tolkien site,
we have a new page set-up for the Tolkien member we knew as Little Jewel-(T) who changed her name to Fiachra, to avoid confusion between her various projects. Here's the new set-up:
http://valarguild.org/varda/Tolkien/encyc/fiction/authors/Fiachra/authorFiachra.htm
From there you can see the story currently up, and any future stories.
Also, the pages for Mirabella are in the process of updating, a lot of that done but not completed by meeting time.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:09 PM
work work
VardaToday at 4:09 PM
I thought it had already been completed, but it may have not transported quite all as it should between the computer switches.
Fun work and my honor. : )
I definitely recommend going back and reading Mirabella's work! (One of my slow-downs is enjoying re-reading it cough.)

So, if you all disappear into the depths of her writing during the meeting, I'll understand!
Aiya Pallando! A Blue Wizard appeared!
Eonwe has been wrestling code on the Games Site. That sometimes means cool new things on the web pages, so we might keep an eye out.

Gaming!
If anyone here is in a time crunch but has gaming news, give a holler and you can speak.
(I like the sight of other people's typing!)
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:13 PM

VardaToday at 4:14 PM
lol
Pallando, go ahead!

Eve Online:
Pallando-ValarToday at 4:14 PM
So last  Tuesday Eve had it's latest expansion hit, bringing us chapter one of  the Triglavian Invasion.
VardaToday at 4:15 PM
Sounds ominous.
Pallando-ValarToday at 4:15 PM
The Triglavians are leaving Abyssal space and invading our homes.  Spooky. This is mostly highsec content for now, but it has a lot of tricks that we know are coming for us
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:16 PM
Maybe they're just misunderstood?
Pallando-ValarToday at 4:16 PM
Per some hints from CCP, this is going to change and evolve over the next few weeks. It's looking like they're doing scouting missions right now, not committing heavily yet. We fully expect t hat to change.
There is some hints of that as well, yes.
I just finished about a 3 hour fleet fighting back against them and we helped push  them out of their foothold they had.
They of course had another one 20 jumps away before we pushed them out,  but  hey!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:17 PM
AI always cheats.
Pallando-ValarToday at 4:18 PM
In more personal news, my alliance finally got our alliance logo back after several years without.
VardaToday at 4:18 PM
Grats!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:18 PM
Nice :smiley:
Ships come and go, but a logo stays forever?
Pallando-ValarToday at 4:19 PM
Think that's it for  Eve for now. The first official CCP event in Canada is in a few weeks, current good  money is on chapter one culminating there.
Well, it's  supposed to.  CCP  reset everything for ~ legal reasons ~ a few years back and we had a bit of a struggle with lost emails and so forth getting  ours back in
but it is  now!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:20 PM
Yay!

VardaToday at 4:21 PM
Aiya Marigold : )  And no problem.
Pallando-ValarToday at 4:21 PM
That's it for me.
VardaToday at 4:21 PM
Thank you, Pallando. That was a lot of interesting news.

World of WarCraft:
From Eonwe, we have World of WarCraft news:
May 27 was the Glowcap Festival.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:22 PM
Good if you want Sporeggar rep!
VardaToday at 4:22 PM
May 28-June 4th is The PvP Brawl: Cooking Impossible
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:22 PM
them little mushroom people are always nice to hang out with
VardaToday at 4:22 PM
Rep is always good too.
This past week's Bonus Event: Warlords of Draenor Timewalking.
The Darkmoon Faire begins today and runs through Saturday, June 8th.
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:23 PM
Heya all.
VardaToday at 4:23 PM
A new preview for the upcoming patch is out: Rise of Azshara Preview: Navigate the Perils of Nazjatar in New Benthic Gear.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:23 PM
Aiya!
VardaToday at 4:23 PM
Eonwe! We were just swiping your site news. : )  Good to see you!
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/22994614/rise-of-azshara-preview-navigate-the-perils-of-nazjatar-in-new-benthic-gear
    World of Warcraft
    Rise of Azshara Preview: Navigate the Perils of Nazjatar in New Be...
    In Rise of Azshara, we’re introducing a new type of gear that can be collected in Nazjatar—and can help you stand against the rising threat of Queen Azshara.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:24 PM
I was thinking about that benthic gear...
the system's taking things from Timeless Isle, Tanaan, Argus, and other places like that, but this should be the first time they use a system like that in what isn't the last area of the expansion.
I wonder what that means for the actual last patch.
VardaToday at 4:26 PM
You'll have to let us know when you find out. : )

Lord of the Rings Online:
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:26 PM
(Yay, just got siege tower toy from Arathi worldboss.. finally) [Note: WoW]
VardaToday at 4:26 PM
The Spring Festival encore runs through this weekend. Last chance for the spring goodies.
Grats Phar. : )  Sounds fun.
We've been playing mostly on Landroval and Ithil server. Anor has very little activity.
We're getting closer to having enough mithril coins to buy our island on Ithil server, but it will be a while yet.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:28 PM
It's a little controllable vehicle like the tonks and cannons etc, but this time a siege tower that shoots projectiles :wink:
VardaToday at 4:28 PM
We've had one on Landroval a long time, of course.
Suggestions welcome on what you would most like to find in the kin chest, especially what level items.
swipes Phar's tiny siege engine, tries it out for fun, passes it back all buffed up
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:29 PM
:smiley:
LenweToday at 4:29 PM
Level 70 bow chants!
VardaToday at 4:31 PM
Hmm, sounds like an idea. I'll check my scholar for mats.
Also, the brag list of who made it into LotRO this past week will be delayed until I can get on to make it, but it should be up later!
Any other news, requests for the LotRO kin chest, or other?
If you think of something later, feel free to say something. : )  My main need would probably be scholar mats, minerals for making hope tokens.

Tolkien!
Would it be unusual to see a group walking around Middle-earth that included four hobbits, a dwarf, a Sinda elf, and humans (one about 7 feet tall)?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:35 PM
It'd be unusual just to see a group of hobbits walking around Middle-earth.
VardaToday at 4:36 PM
(one of those "humans" being an old man with a staff)
True.
MarigoldToday at 4:37 PM
I suppose that might depend on the location? Perhaps more popular travelers waypoints might be a less conspicuous location. (I.E. comparing the folk that appear at the Prancing Pony versus those who frequent the Green Dragon) ?
ArienValarToday at 4:37 PM
Aiya Eonwe and Marigold :smiley:
MarigoldToday at 4:37 PM
Aiya :smiley:
VardaToday at 4:37 PM
Aye. They had a saying "Strange as news from Bree" due to the unusual amount of mixing there.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:38 PM
So maybe the full party would've fit right in, in Bree.
Maybe people in Bree were suspicious because there weren't any dwarves or elves with them.
MarigoldToday at 4:39 PM
^^ But I suppose the continuity/longevity of the group together would be more likely to garner interest? That is, if each community gossiped with each other. It doesn't seem as if they did, though, excepting the spies/people in the know.
VardaToday at 4:39 PM
Both humans and hobbits lived in Bree, so they mixed often enough.
Gossip, the newspaper of villages. : )
MarigoldToday at 4:39 PM
And dwarves traveled through occasionally, so that would be fine. The Elf might be the outsider.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:39 PM
With even less fact-checking.
VardaToday at 4:39 PM
Probably very little travel between though.
Dwarves did some trading, true.
MarigoldToday at 4:40 PM
Wait, what human was 7 feet tall?
VardaToday at 4:40 PM
Aragorn.
MarigoldToday at 4:41 PM
NO.
Are you serious?
VardaToday at 4:41 PM
About that. May have come from being related to Elendil the Tall
MarigoldToday at 4:41 PM
Ok how have I missed this?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:41 PM
Easy to miss a detail like that in a book.
VardaToday at 4:41 PM
Numenoreans were pretty tall.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:42 PM
Also, did you know Gandalf had a beard? :wink:
VardaToday at 4:42 PM
And crazily jutting out eyebrows!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:43 PM
To be fair, when the main characters are hobbits, 5 or 6 or 7 feet isn't that relevant. They're all just "tall".
VardaToday at 4:43 PM
I can relate to that. ; )
MarigoldToday at 4:43 PM
Ok I just did fact checking :joy: it appears to have come from the Tolkien papers "[Tolkien Papers, Bodleian Library, Oxford]
Hammond & Scull (eds) - Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion: Page 229". I have never read that.
Whew, was worried it was in the Fellowship and I was a sloppy reader.
^^ I did catch the part about Gandalf's beard, though. :wink:
ElrondToday at 4:44 PM
Aiya, sorry for the late arrival
MarigoldToday at 4:44 PM
Aiya, Elrond!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:45 PM
Aiya!
VardaToday at 4:45 PM
Like a wizard, never late? : )  Just glad you could pop in.
ArienValarToday at 4:45 PM
aiya Elrond :smiley:
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:45 PM
"Gandalf, you're late!" "A wizard is never late, he arrives precisely when he means to." "So...  you meant to be late??"
ElrondToday at 4:45 PM
That's it exactly!
VardaToday at 4:45 PM
So the one place the Fellowship might not have raised a lot of eyebrows might be Bree? Not sure any other place might find it "normal".
Phar knows!
MarigoldToday at 4:47 PM
Were there no other major trade centers? Perhaps Dale?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:47 PM
Well, Rivendell saw all sorts of people dropping by. They weren't even the first hobbits!
VardaToday at 4:47 PM
Rivendell even had a hobbit in residence!
MarigoldToday at 4:47 PM
Rivendell, perhaps, but I would think the community was so small that any visitor was of note...
VardaToday at 4:48 PM
Agreed. They did have a fair traffic through, maybe? Scholars, other visitors?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:48 PM
Well, they were known for being the last stop before crossing the mountains.
MarigoldToday at 4:49 PM
Yes, that could be. Perhaps more people came through than we're aware.
We can rule out Rohan, since the Rohirric were amazed that halflings existed.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:49 PM
Which, come to think it, would have made them rather more popular for dwarves... ironically, considering the history between elves and dwarves.
VardaToday at 4:50 PM
True on Rohan, although the Rohirrim amazed the hobbits by having a word for them, and the hobbits had some Rohirric terms. In history, they had passed through the area although by then both sides had lost most of that memory.
MarigoldToday at 4:51 PM
Oh, that's a good point. The year would make adifference
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:51 PM
I took that as a reference to their shared history over 500 years ago at the upper Anduin.
VardaToday at 4:51 PM
True. We have a tendency to talk all across history and forget to make the distinction.

We had a question on the whisper side [Note: suggestion from Eonwe]. What was the relationship between the Ainur and the Eruhini. Might want to define those two terms first. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:55 PM
The Ainur were the spirits, Valar and Maiar, who were made before Arda and took place in its creation. I'm not sure who the Eruhini are :smiley:
VardaToday at 4:56 PM
The first and secondborn: elves and humans.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:56 PM
Sounds familiar though.
Ah.
VardaToday at 4:56 PM
Eru for Eru, hini for children of.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:56 PM
Ah, of course. The Children of Illuvatar.
VardaToday at 4:56 PM
Aye
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:57 PM
I couldn't place "hini" for a moment.
VardaToday at 4:57 PM
Don't hear it often.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:57 PM
What is meant by "relationship" though? Like.. family relations? Or social interactions?

VardaToday at 4:58 PM
Quick news just picked up in Ithil: Luithien's name was changed by SSG, Dis changed it to Luethien. Based on CoC.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:58 PM
...How is that an improvement :stuck_out_tongue:
VardaToday at 4:58 PM
It's not. Someone probably complained.
The actual name is Luthien, so it's not the book spelling.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:59 PM
Right. Neither is the most popular form.
VardaToday at 5:00 PM
I have exact names that haven't received complaints due to the obscurity. Been fortunate so far.

The Ainur did not look down on the Eruhini, seeing them as brothers also made by Eru.

Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:01 PM
That's why I blended Pharazon and Calion to get my character name in WoW. Though I guess they'd be safer in Azeroth than in Middle-earth, anyway.

VardaToday at 5:01 PM
The worship thing was not their intention. (Except some Melkor and Sauron guy who liked it.)
We have reached the hour.
MarigoldToday at 5:03 PM
^^ Was going to make a comment on how Feonor rather spoiled the relationship, but the hour!!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:03 PM
In any case, yes, the Ainur did care for them, tried to keep them safe, on the right path.. even mated with them on one occasion.
VardaToday at 5:04 PM
We can keep talking in After-meeting. Happens all the time.
Thingol and Melian come to mind.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:04 PM
And Feanor might have been the first, but I know some Men who spoiled their relationship with the Valar as well.
VardaToday at 5:04 PM
the gavel pogo-sticks to the hammerpad
pop!
the hammerpad laughs at the little pop

After-meeting!
Free chat about anything, including Tolkien. ; )

ElrondToday at 5:07 PM
Quick game update: Got into both Wow Classic stress tests, which went quite well. Was quite fun and enjoyable, and it plays very smooth. There is a image link of alliance summoning Omar, who is the Senior Software Engineer who got it working from the old 1.12 data. He showed up as a huge Paladin and danced at the end.
VardaToday at 5:08 PM
O cool!

[Note: this is from our screenshots channel on Discord:
Elrond05/24/2019:
    Here's a few screenshots from the WOW Classic stress test final minutes. They dropped Ragnaros and Thrall in Stormwind. I got to level 4 (almost 5) on my warlock. Thrall would occasionally chain lightning and waste multiple newbies (including me). We did kill Thrall, and after celebration pictures were taken, we chanted for Doom Lord Kazaak. Instead, we got Patchwork, who made quick work of us all.

ElrondToday at 5:10 PM
Eve is going well, been on a number of fleets with our war against the north, and got to bring out my titan a time or two to shoot some things. Doesn't happen very often. Hopefully as things move along I'll get to use it more, but that's up to the folks in charge. I put a video of one of the things in screenshots as well.

Three characters of Arien's have joined the kin on LotRO's Ithil server. : )
VardaToday at 5:34 PM
and another of hers joined on Anor. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:34 PM
How many has she got? :smiley:
VardaToday at 5:34 PM
um
6 on Anor where we are now.
That's the less active server, hehe.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:41 PM
So the rest, even more?
VardaToday at 5:44 PM
I'm alting, will be able to say shortly.

Flashgaming: 3 games for you!
VardaToday at 5:45 PM
(she has 7 on Ithil)
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:48 PM
http://www.onemorelevel.com/game/pinata_masters is the first game! A simple shooter where your character walks around on the bottom of the screen while you shoot stuff at the pinata above you. Get coins to upgrade your damage, your ammunition, and unlock random weapons. Nice game for a few minutes to unlock stuff, but once you've got all the weapons and only have the damage/ammo to upgrade, it gets boring, so that's a nice place to stop :smiley:
    Pinata Masters - OneMoreLevel.com

http://www.onemorelevel.com/game/wheelie_cross is the second game! Pretty simple: Press the button to keep your speed up and make an infinite wheelie, making sure not to go too fast or you'll fall backwards, and not too slow or you'll hit the ground. Simple, but difficult, I never got very far. Collect coins along the way to buy different bikes.
    Wheelie Cross - OneMoreLevel.com

See if you're better at it than I am :wink:
https://www.kongregate.com/games/PixelPacket/reaper-of-the-undead is the third game! An upgrade shooter, where you play a reaper and have to shoot zombies to collect their souls, but don't let them get you instead! Use the souls to upgrade your guns, make it through all the levels. Pretty casual, as you can just keep trying and upgrading.

Heroes of the Storm:
Still level 345. Did have fun playing some heroes I wasn't too familiar with in the brawls, though. Despite never having played them outside of the weekly brawls, I'm getting quite practiced with both Thrall and Zul'jin :smiley: With the right talent combinations, they can get pretty dangerous against groups of enemy heroes.
Hearthstone:
Another class to level 58. I think it was the shaman... anyway, druid and rogue remain. Might still finish those during the next week, though probably not... since I'll be on a short vacation from monday to friday.
Brawl is the 207th Brawl Spectacular! A choice between 9 older brawls, which means the brawl will usually be different for your and your opponent if you chose different ones. Pretty silly, but fun to see how they match up. Still, some are more powerful than others, I won my match with Randomonium, where cards randomly change mana cost. Even had one lucky turn wherein 3 usually expensive minions were able to go up on the board at 1 mana each :wink:
One wing remains to be released for the solo adventure. Once I've purchased that I can finally go back to buying and opening card packs. Not only have I been saving my gold, I haven't even bothered opening packs I got through other sources... resulting in me having about 40 packs to open, including for the new expansion.
We'll see when that happens :smiley:
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:23 PM
Before I go into WoW, I'd like to mention one other game...
while in WoW, I noticed a worldquest / rare mob called Blackthorne, which struck me as being familiar from a gear set in Diablo 3, and someone else mentioned that it was also the name of a bandit captain joining Sylvanas in Warcraft 3.

ArienValarToday at 6:31 PM

Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:31 PM
Upon doing a bit of research, turned out to be a reference to an older game by Blizzard. A platformer with typical Blizzard graphics and music, looked really fun. It is featured in the Blizzard Classic Games section, but doesn't appear to have a download link right now... regardless, it's probably acquirable somewhere, if  you'd like to try it.

You can see it shares quite a few elements with Warcraft 1, which came out that same year.

WoW:
Still raiding Dazar'alor on heroic, still running into some troubles with the last few bosses, like Mekkatorque and Stormwall. Still, with some effort we got em down, with me getting a nice new guardian druid weapon from Stormwall Blockade. We'll extend the raid until the last few people in our group who need Jaina for the heroic achievement are present, to wrap things up officially, I guess. Until/after that I think we'll spend more time in Crucible, as well as more farming of Dazar'alor for a few gear upgrades. Personally I'm almost out of stuff to get :smiley:
Weekly this week was the Warlords of Draenor timewalking for the first time! Fun to go through the old instances again. They don't seem to be scaled too high, though I was in premade groups for most of them.
Saving up badges for the past few years paid off, as I got both mounts and both toys from the new WoD timewalking vendor already, and still had half my badges remaining. Guess I'll start saving up for the next one in whatever expansion comes next :wink:
So yes, got the Banner of the Burning Blade toy, which displays a banner which is actually on fire, pretty neat. And also the Apexis Focusing Shard; not sure what it's supposed to do, but I aimed it at a fellow player and ended up blasting him by channeling a harmless beam of light. Looks weird, but fine.
And also the new mounts: Beastlord's Direwolf, and Beastlord's Irontusk (an elekk). They both look nice, but the wolf a bit more special, with metal jaw armor.
And I got one more toy during the meeting tonight, the toy siege tower I mentioned :smiley: As it drops from the Arathi worldboss, which you can only loot per cycle of about 2-3 weeks, it's a pretty rare find; I've definitely killed it quite a few times since it was implemented last year. But now it's mine!
*only loot once
Other than that, more world quests and reputation gathering for paragon supplies, though the last two rewards still don't want to drop. Getting more pet charms too, and now have over 800 of the 1000 I need for the pet portal. Almost there! Also almost there for the mount that needs 1000 expedition dubloons, with only about 50 more to go.
Oh, and I got enough service medals for the first of the heirlooms up for sale for those, so yay :smiley:
And finally, WoW related, I haven't yet been able to find the 15th anniversary collector's edition as it's been sold out everywhere from the first few hours that it first went on sale... but I did decide to buy the 25th anniversary warcraft figurines. Unfortunately, the physical goodies from the gearstore can't be bought with my usual payment method, so I hope it works with my brother's creditcard tomorrow or the day after, as he's joining us on the vacation... but assuming we have internet there it shouldn't be a problem!
But I may need to make a Paypal account at some point in the future just for this kind of stuff.
And that's it for me this week! Next week should have quite a few less things to tell, but hopefully still something.
