Before-meeting
Eonwe Valar07/24/2020
Well, the good news is I completed my first 5-mask Stormwind
Horrific Vision. The bad news is the 470 item I got was a pair of
pants, and I already have a pair of pants.
Eonwe Valar07/24/2020
Now the tough part is getting through the Orgimmar 5-mask next week.
Eonwe Valar07/24/2020
If I can manage to get a 460 ring and a 460 trinket, or get real
lucky in the Rexxar area, that might just give me enough oomph to
get through Orgrimmar.(edited)

Time Runs Short: Battle for Azeroth - WoW
Before you journey to the Shadowlands, you may want to spend your
remaining moments in the mortal realms seeking out a few rewards
that will no longer be obtainable (or will be more difficult to
acquire) in the next expansion.
[8:14 AM]
So if you want to help us get guild credit for a level 120 of every
class of every one of the original races (not allied) better hurry
and let me know/get working on it now :} We still need virtually
everything and there's no telling when we're going to get such a
wonderful double xp buff to speed up levelling again.
July 25, 2020
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 2:41 AM
Hmm, there's a 375 BoE ring on the AH for 250k gold. That's only
1/12 of my total wealth, lol. Too bad it doesn't have mastery. RIght
now I'm at 76% Mastery, and I can hit 101% when I pop Crusade.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 7:46 AM
Honor lvl 70 now. 10 levels or 88000 honor to go, hehe.

Salutations all.
VardaToday at 3:07 PM
Lot of thunder, lightning, etc over here
Eonwe ValarToday at 3:10 PM
Thanks for the heads up. If necessary, i ought to be able to chair.
[3:11 PM]
Trying to figure out what I broke and how I broke it, heh.
VardaToday at 3:16 PM

Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 3:48 PM
Thunderbolts of lightning, very very frightening me ♪

Galileo!
[3:49 PM]
And heya :}
[3:50 PM]
Managed to get a 460 trinket upgrade from my previous 445 trinket.
sadly it didn't proc with leech like the previous PvP trinket did so
hopefully the extra damage from strength and the extra cushion from
the absorb shield proc if it triggers make up for it.(edited)
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 3:51 PM
Hope so!
Eonwe ValarToday at 3:51 PM
5-masking Orgrimmar is going to be a toughie.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 3:57 PM
Yeah, Rexxar's the biggest mess there. Glad I got it done last week
when the affixes were good.
Eonwe ValarToday at 3:58 PM
Too bad Alleria didn't give me an upgrade on 5-mask.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 3:59 PM
Alas.

[4:14 PM]
So if you have anything left to get done, better get it moving.
[4:15 PM]
If you want to try and get us guild credit on Lothar for having all
the max level character/class combos we still need for the guild
achievements while there's still the 100% exp buff, better hurry on
that :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:15 PM
None of those things I still lack that I want, but I'm surprised
they didn't mention the brawler's guild.

Tolkien!
[4:22 PM]
Did anyone have a Tolkien bit of news? Nifty link? Chat topic? (I've
got one when you're done.)
[4:24 PM]
This bit is from "The Shadow of the Past", The
Fellowship of the Ring
[4:25 PM]
Look at the amount of foreshadowing in this chat with Sam. We also
get to see that Sam has some idea of what's going on before we know
he's in the Conspiracy.
[4:25 PM]
Sam is at the Green Dragon, while with Ted Sandyman and others, Ted
scoffing at what is told:
[4:25 PM]
Sam starts, the other talking is Ted:
[4:25 PM]
.quote:
[4:26 PM]
"But what about these Tree-men, these giants, as you
might call them? They do say that one bigger than a tree was seen
up away beyond the North Moors not long back."
"Who's they?
"My cousin Hal for one. He works for Mr. Boffin at Overhill and
goes up to the Northfarthing for the hunting. He saw one."
"Says he did, perhaps. Your Hal's always seeing things that ain't
there."
"But this one was as big as an elm tree, and walking--walking
seven yards to a stride, if it was an inch."
"Then I bet it wasn't an inch. What he saw was an elm tree, as
like as not."
"But this one was walking, I tell you; and there ain't no elm tree
on the North Moors."
"Then Hal can't have seen one," said Ted. There was some laughing
and clapping: the audience seemed to think that Ted had scored a
point.
"All the same," said Sam, "you can't deny that others besides our
Halfast have seen queer folk crossing the Shire--crossing it, mind
you: there are more that are turned back at the borders.
The Bounders have never been so busy before.
And I've heard tell that Elves are moving west. They do say they
are going to the harbours, out away beyond the White Towers."
.end quote
[4:28 PM]
.
[4:29 PM]
This is very early on. Looking back at it now, we can see the
foreshadowing.
[4:29 PM]
Note the mention of Overhill, before Frodo uses it as a cover name.
[4:30 PM]
We know, since this is a re-read, that Sam is describing an ent, but
at this time this is foreshadowing.
[4:30 PM]
The location of the ent is interesting, because it's not across the
Hedge in Old Man Willow's territory.
[4:31 PM]
Except, as Eonwe noted, it's Underhill instead of Overhill,
interestingly close.
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:32 PM
Aye.
VardaToday at 4:32 PM
What is this ent doing outside the Hedge area?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:32 PM
Looking for entwives?
VardaToday at 4:32 PM
It's huge, not a little thing.
[4:32 PM]
Good thought!
[4:32 PM]
Or it's an entwife.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:32 PM
Could be.
VardaToday at 4:33 PM
Fangorn said the entwives would have loved the Shire.
[4:33 PM]
Maybe they really did!
[4:34 PM]
When Galadriel said the ents and entwives would meet in the west,
maybe we all just assumed she meant the Uttermost West. This is just
west. : )
[4:34 PM]
It offers that little dab of hope, on a re-read. His major theme. :
)
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:34 PM
Yes
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:34 PM
:}
VardaToday at 4:35 PM
Any other foreshadowinig, maybe with the hope idea?
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:35 PM
What was left of Beleriand and around the Gulf of Lune was still
considered Elf-country. Might've been some Entwives wandering around
there.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:36 PM
Can't get further west than that without hopping on a bot.
[4:36 PM]
boat.
VardaToday at 4:36 PM
True. Maybe the entwife was just a bit outside that area, looking at
the Shire for fun, and going back.
[4:36 PM]
Very wary after the Brown Lands happened?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:37 PM
They could've gotten along with the hobbits just fine if they've
moved south, if they got past the legends of the Old Forest.
VardaToday at 4:37 PM
I wonder if the hobbits were some of those the entwives taught
gardening to before it became the Brown Lands. Might have thought
they were children.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:38 PM
Better than having them chop trees
VardaToday at 4:39 PM
heh - Yavanna would agree with that.
[4:40 PM]
We see that Sam has been thinking about these things before he went
with Frodo on an adventure.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:40 PM
That and oliphaunts.
VardaToday at 4:41 PM
hehe
IrmoToday at 4:41 PM
(Being a wiseass) From the fact that the villain in Shadows of the
Past is actually called Treabeard we may derive that Tolkien had not
quite worked out the concept of ents yet though - see my article
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:41 PM
So the entire trip to Fangorn for Merry and Pippin was in Sam's
head!
VardaToday at 4:42 PM
hah!
[4:42 PM]
Dwarves were also originally purely villainous.
[4:42 PM]
and Trottir (Aragorn) was a hobbit. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:42 PM
Can't trust those little guys.
VardaToday at 4:42 PM
Lots of changes!
[4:43 PM]
http://valarguild.org/varda/Tolkien/encyc/papers/earlyLotR.htm
[4:44 PM]
This is the article Irmo referred to. Enjoy!
IrmoToday at 4:44 PM
<blushes>
VardaToday at 4:45 PM
Thank you for a fun read! (rereading it right now).
[4:47 PM]
That was well worth the re-read. : )
IrmoToday at 4:48 PM
This was the concept when he originally felt forced - against his
will; - to write a sequel to the hobbit; but then teh rascal started
tuning in his old legends
VardaToday at 4:49 PM
So glad he did. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:49 PM
And then Peter Jackson reversed the process by inserting them into
The Hobbit?
IrmoToday at 4:49 PM
He was not really all that fond of hobbits Im afraid
[4:50 PM]
Actually yeah Phar, that is why I concur with Jackson (Walsh/Hayes)
effort
VardaToday at 4:51 PM
and to add to the movie makers, PJ was only brought in when del Toro
had to leave due to time constraints. So much was already made!
IrmoToday at 4:52 PM
Pippa and Feran spent half year reading the Sil before writing the
script, they really respect the written workds of trhe master
[4:52 PM]
Fran
VardaToday at 4:53 PM
It shows.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:53 PM
It's a tough book, but half a year?
IrmoToday at 4:53 PM
studying/writing/studying
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:53 PM
Oh who am I kidding, I've been reading Before the Storm for 2 years
now.
VardaToday at 4:53 PM
I've seen some scripts of the LotR movies not made and they were
horrific. Made me appreciate PJ and crew so much more.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:53 PM
No, the other pre-bfa book. Don't remember.
IrmoToday at 4:54 PM
I have reread the Sil and underlyiong poems around 15 times now
<grin> cant get enough
VardaToday at 4:54 PM
yay!
[4:54 PM]
I re-read large chunks so often that I can't say how much I've read.
Reading straight through, never kept track.
[4:55 PM]
I read the poems. Music seems to play with them on their own.
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:56 PM
Most of my reading of it the last several years has been related to
research for the RP and related stories.
VardaToday at 4:56 PM
Even the minor poems. I used to sing Troll sat alone On his seat of
stone And munched and mumbled a bare old bone. Think I did a guitar
accompaniment back then.
[4:56 PM]
Aye, mostly research for quite some years now.
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:57 PM
And then when brief flashes of something I read a while back catches
my attention all of a sudden, like the Ungoliant/Vairë comment I
made in the harbor channel.
VardaToday at 4:57 PM
Aye : )
[4:57 PM]
And that troll song is surprisingly understanding of the troll's
point of view.
[4:58 PM]
When people claim JRRT only wrote in "black and white with no shades
of grey", they make me think they skipped reading.
[5:00 PM]
No one has a chance vs critics. : )
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:01 PM
You can have an Absolute Good and as near as exists to Absolute Evil
and still have a whole spectrum of characters in between. That's the
thing of about that pesky "finite" part of existence, and Tolkien
describes it quite well when he talks about characters, even the
Valar themselves, understanding things "according to their measure".
VardaToday at 5:01 PM
Well said.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:03 PM
And even then. you can know and understand what the right thing to
do is, and for various reasons still not do it.
VardaToday at 5:04 PM
Too true.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:04 PM
Frodo discusses as much in their discussion before the Breaking of
the Fellowship. He knew what he should do, but it was a hard choice
to make. So Boromir gave him the push he needed.
[5:05 PM]
Not intentionally on Boromir's part, heh, but he did.
VardaToday at 5:05 PM
The Importance of Boromir. : )
[5:05 PM]
All things work for Eru's plan.
[5:05 PM]
Even if not intended to be doing that!
[5:06 PM]
If Faramir had been there instead, he might have helped Frodo into
the boat and given it a push. Many ways for things to work out.
[5:07 PM]
Alas for Boromir
[5:07 PM]
But it gave Boromir the moment he needed to really grow.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:07 PM
And Manwë says: "...and evil yet be good to have been." and Mandos
says: "And yet remain evil." hehe
VardaToday at 5:08 PM
Truth.
[5:09 PM]
We have reached the hour.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:09 PM
That line seems a bit grammatically confusing.
VardaToday at 5:09 PM

Free chat. : )
[5:12 PM]
Sometimes an evil thing has a good result, but it was still evil.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:12 PM
Something about the ends not justifying the means...
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:13 PM
"Umarred" is still better than "Healed" hehe, as any one who has
ever had any injury can attest to,.. so everyone :}
IrmoToday at 5:13 PM
Stay safe all wonderful folk, mara mesta!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:13 PM
Namarie!
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:13 PM
Sleep well Irmo ;}
VardaToday at 5:13 PM
Aye, it does not justify the means.
[5:13 PM]
Namarie Irmo : )
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:14 PM
There's a whole Letter on that, hehehe.
[5:14 PM]
Or related to it, anyway.
[5:14 PM]
Some of those letters are fun reading.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:14 PM
And some aren't?
VardaToday at 5:14 PM
If Hitler does the Holocaust and it causes the formation of the
Israeli nation, it has a good outcome. But the Holocaust was still
evil.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:14 PM
Some are more mundane than others :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:15 PM
"Pick up milk. Thanks, J.R.R."
VardaToday at 5:15 PM
hehehe - there you go, Phar. Now that's a letter.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:15 PM
The most important one :}
VardaToday at 5:16 PM
From a certain point of view. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:16 PM
But to be fair, if I came across that in the book it would be
amusing.
VardaToday at 5:16 PM
Aye, actually. : )
[5:16 PM]
Due to contrast.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:28 PM
Working on battleground weekly, just hit honor level 68

Eonwe ValarToday at 5:33 PM

doesn't give me a shot at a 460 item, only a 445.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:34 PM
Aw.

Is rather tough though, since you'll need good planning and timing.

Blizzard gaming:
[7:31 PM]
Starcraft:
No plays this week! Busy with vacation and catching up on other
stuff. Will have to push it next week
[7:32 PM]
Heroes of the Storm:
Not much play, though I did go for the brawl, and got Zul'jin to
level 5 in the process.
[7:33 PM]
Support role quest is now up to 3 out of 4.
[7:33 PM]
Oh, and Zul'jin put me at.. 423. Yay!
[7:34 PM]
Hearthstone:
Cleared some quests, did the brawl. Bit more xp on the demon hunter
but no new level. Brawl was pretty annoying, where you get a deck
full of hallucinations which let you discover cards of the
opponent's class.
[7:35 PM]
So you need to 1: pick a class that the opponent won't have much use
for the cards for, 2: hope you get an opponent's class which
complements yours, and 3: actually be lucky with the discoveries.
[7:36 PM]
Took me quite some tries, but lucked out with a hunter. After some
googling it turns out warlock might be best, though, since opponent
might get health-draining or discard-cards.
[7:36 PM]
So if you're going to try, might try that!
[7:36 PM]
WoW:
[7:37 PM]
Actually no raiding for me this week. No raid scheduled for tuesday,
I missed thursday by vacation, and not enough signups today.
[7:37 PM]
So had to get my corruption resistance from horrific visions, which
I 4-masked today as told before.
[7:37 PM]
Over 70k mementos now, not too far from mount...
[7:39 PM]
Got 2 new pets this week, from Darkshore rares
[7:39 PM]
First the Hydrath Droplet, which is apparently kinda like a
moisturizer, so that's useful I guess
[7:40 PM]
And then the Void Jelly, which is just a voidcolored jellyfish. But
can't have too many jellyfish!
[7:41 PM]
For weeklies this week we've got battlegrounds and timewalks. As
said earlier, done with my battlegrounds now, got me to honor level
68; timewalks still need to be done. But still got 2 days.
[7:42 PM]
Still waiting for my guardian corruptions to show up, maybe next
reset...
[7:42 PM]
As for Total Annihilation...
yeah no, not this week Next week should be fine though!
[7:43 PM]
And thats my short-ish report for this week!

Busy day for me.. I think I might make meetingtime next weekend
[11:20 PM]
But this is my personal gaming report:
http://puu.sh/Gbnxa/6b381d416c.jpg
[11:23 PM]
To contextify, CCP added a ranked (though.. poorly) sort of
mini-tournament. 2v2 tech 1 cruisers. There's some drama over it
because they are counting the "winner" as most wins, not "best
record", even though ELO is pretty well understood at this point,
and there are no fitting or other restrictions besides the ship
hulls, meaning some people were "buying" wins, some collusion.
Typical Eve stuff, really.
[11:23 PM]
But my partner and I have just thrown hours at this over the past
week. Something like 11 yesterday, more today.. probably well over
40 total, maybe more like 60.
[11:24 PM]
One more day left, so I'm going to wake up and see how my rank is
and it's gonna be a desperate run to hold on to our spot.
[11:26 PM]
I have spent a small fortune on ships and fittings for this. Now up
to hundreds of hulls + fits. Probably easily 10b?
