Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:01 PM
Aiya!
[4:01 PM]
Half afk while I sort some chinese food into containers for future

VardaYesterday at 4:01 PM

[4:04 PM]
Huzzah for being gainfully employed. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:04 PM
Aiya Irmo!
VardaYesterday at 4:06 PM
Pallando said I should "ping" people from here. Anyone know how
that's done?
[4:08 PM]
Guess it's not using their name.
[4:08 PM]
That would be a long list.
IrmYesterday at 4:08 PM
One uses @ front of name
VardaYesterday at 4:09 PM
ahh when I put that up a whole mess of stuff came up. Neato!
[4:10 PM]

A pleasure <beams> (I had to ask Miriel of course)
VardaYesterday at 4:12 PM
@here Meeting time : )
[4:13 PM]
Was anyone pinged more than once?
Pallando-ValarYesterday at 4:13 PM
I don't have the Maia rank! Hmph!
VardaYesterday at 4:13 PM
o my! Want it? : )
Pallando-ValarYesterday at 4:13 PM
Yes
VardaYesterday at 4:13 PM
Fixed
IrmYesterday at 4:14 PM
Now that you mention it....
VardaYesterday at 4:14 PM
Fixed. : )
IrmYesterday at 4:14 PM
hehehehe:)
VardaYesterday at 4:14 PM
And it also shows the Bounder rank. Interesting
[4:15 PM]
So you could get double-pinged!
[4:15 PM]
ahh, just hit Bounder and get you all.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:16 PM
Back!
VardaYesterday at 4:16 PM
Doing some role promotes
[4:16 PM]
Aiyata : )
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:16 PM
Not sure what these pings are supposed to be, though I do see
highlights around the bounder and here statements
[4:16 PM]
Not sure what it does when I'm not here, I mean
VardaYesterday at 4:17 PM
Well, maybe it will speed things up. : )
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:17 PM
Not sure what a "ping" is supposed to do either here. Heya all :}
ArienValarYesterday at 4:17 PM
aiya Eonwe
[4:17 PM]
VardaYesterday at 4:17 PM
I don't see a "here" but it was a cool suggestion from Miriel.
Anyone see it hit their side chat?
[4:17 PM]
Aiya : )
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:17 PM
Aiya!
ArienValarYesterday at 4:17 PM
yes I did
VardaYesterday at 4:17 PM
o good!
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:18 PM
Not sure what you mean by sidechat, but doesn't look like it.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:18 PM
I didn't see anything, but that might be because I just got here.
VardaYesterday at 4:18 PM
There you go, a side chat. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:19 PM
with no ping
VardaYesterday at 4:19 PM
So Arien got a ping. Anyone else get one?
[4:19 PM]
Since we're 15 minutes into the meeting, here's an "official"

Web News:
[4:23 PM]
Working on coding, so not really getting content up, which is kind
of backwards since content is the important thing.
[4:23 PM]
We should have some cool story stuff coming from Eonwe maybe this
next week.
[4:23 PM]
Any other web news? cool links for gaming or Tolkien?
[4:24 PM]
Although you might put those up in their respective sections. heh
ArienValarYesterday at 4:24 PM
and hopefully mine that should get a roundup .. got a final idea
wave for that story which i announced months ago but it is finally
ready to happen
VardaYesterday at 4:25 PM
Wonderful! We'll be happy to see it!
[4:25 PM]
Then rough draft, final edit... We will still be here. : )

[4:31 PM]
In personal WoW gaming, 3-masked Orgimmar. Combo of debuffs
is not conducive to me trying a 4-mask. However, I'm now 12 Shreds
of Insanity from having the 200 I need and then I will be able to
make myself 2 upgrades.
[4:31 PM]
Also, I saw Nob on WoW yesterday.

A hat that looks like a dreamcatcher.
VardaYesterday at 4:43 PM
I love wings. But then start thinking about the additional
musculature and skeletal fixes to handle it, heh.
[4:43 PM]
handwaves all such thoughts. It's magic!

VardaYesterday at 4:45 PM
While we have time left in this meeting, moving on to

Tolkien!
[4:45 PM]
We have a couple of potential subjects.
Forum story "RP":
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:45 PM
(New RP post btw for those interested in such things :})
VardaYesterday at 4:45 PM
Yay, thanks, Eonwe!
[4:46 PM]
That should be everyone.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:46 PM
Ending on a note that has me completely lost at what to do next
VardaYesterday at 4:46 PM
oops. : )
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:47 PM
I was introducing some of the "shadows lie" thing I was talking
about, hehe. I can try to give a bit more of a base to go on if
everyone likes, I just thought that was a fun place to end that
particular post.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:48 PM
First thought that entered my head was "Alright, thanks, but nothing
here, I'm going back to sleep."
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:48 PM
hehehe
[4:48 PM]
You mean 20 mnutes laying down wasn't enough? ;}
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:48 PM
Not really
[4:49 PM]
To sleep, perchance to dream... about wolves...
VardaYesterday at 4:49 PM
Sounds like tracking time in the rp story! blows on hands and
grins
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:49 PM
If I did it right, the time should feel at least more like a couple
of hours, but I need to reread what I posted, hehe.
[4:50 PM]
Moved from "dark before dawn" to the first rays of sunlight kind of
descriptions.
VardaYesterday at 4:50 PM
The light is just coming up. Just right. get up, sleepy bones!
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:50 PM
Fair enough.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:50 PM
And Auros relieved Calion early too :}
[4:51 PM]
See, what a nice guy he is! :}
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:51 PM
Yes
VardaYesterday at 4:51 PM
We could use Helvy to help track by scent! oops, not here yet. Gets
on hands and knees and examines the ground.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:51 PM
Only to wake him up too soon, executus!
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:51 PM
hehehe
VardaYesterday at 4:52 PM
Does that mean we just lost Auros? Can I have his horse?
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 4:52 PM
You want two horses?
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:52 PM
One to sling Frali across, hehe.
VardaYesterday at 4:52 PM
Of course. One is a re-mount. : )
[4:53 PM]
That too.
[4:53 PM]
perches Frali on top Ok, maybe we do need to sling him across
the saddle instead of sitting.
[4:54 PM]
Good thing Arien isn't seeing any of this... Right?
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:54 PM
:}
VardaYesterday at 4:54 PM
Auros went the way of all alarm clocks. ah well.
[4:55 PM]

Ready for an actual Tolkien Moment?
It has horses.
[4:56 PM]
This is just outside Fangorn Forest, when the Three Hunters and
Gandalf need to go to Meduseld.
[4:56 PM]
The Two Towers, "The White Rider"
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 4:56 PM
Gets popcorn
VardaYesterday at 4:56 PM
The first time we meet Shadowfax!
[4:57 PM]
preferred beverage by the side of your seat
[4:57 PM]
"There is more than one horse coming," said Aragorn.
"Certainly," said Gandalf. "We are too great a burden for one."
"There are three," said Legolas, gazing out over the plain.
"See how they run! There is Hasufel, and there is my friend, Arod
beside him!
But there is another that strides ahead: a very great horse. I
have not seen his like before."
"Nor will you again," said Gandalf.
"That is Shadowfax. He is the chief of the Mearas, lords of
horses, and not even Theoden, King of Rohan, has ever looked on a
better.
Does he not shine like silver, and run as smoothly as a swift
stream?
He has come for me: the horse of the White Rider.
We are going to battle together."
Even as the old wizard spoke, the great horse came striding up the
slope towards them; his coat was glistening and his mane flowing
in the wind of his speed.
The two others followed, now far behind.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:00 PM
neigh showoff neigh
VardaYesterday at 5:00 PM
As soon as Shadowfax saw Gandalf, he checked his pace
and whinnied loudly; then trotting gently forward he stooped his
proud head and nuzzled his great nostrils against the old man's
neck.
Gandalf caressed him.
"It is a long way from Rivendell, my friend," he said; "but you
are wise and swift and come at need.
Far let us ride now together, and part not in this world again!"
[5:01 PM]
./endquote
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:02 PM
"Nor will you again." Surely there would be others? New chiefs?
VardaYesterday at 5:03 PM
The greatest of the chiefs?
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:03 PM
Descendants?
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:04 PM
Almost sounds like Shadowfax isn't,... having descendants.(edited)
VardaYesterday at 5:04 PM
It's like a First Age legendary weapon being better than a Second
Age in LotRO. ; )
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:04 PM
Waste of a breed, then.
VardaYesterday at 5:04 PM
It's tough to find a mare that can equal him enough to keep up the
quality.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:04 PM
Maybe he already had descendants at this point.
[5:04 PM]
True.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:04 PM
Fair enough.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:05 PM
Also, did Shadowfax leave Middle-earth by ship with Gandalf?
VardaYesterday at 5:05 PM
Gandalf puts blinders on the Three Hunters so they don't see the
herd off on the left
[5:05 PM]
Yes.
[5:05 PM]
Nahar will be happy to see one of his kids, right?
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:06 PM
They can hang out together!
[5:06 PM]
Share gossip.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:06 PM
Untl one of them goes "Hey great-great-great-great-great.....
(repeats for several minutes) grand-daddy!"
VardaYesterday at 5:06 PM
Orome rode Nahar while guiding the eldar towards Valinor. That is a
likely source for early Mearas.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:07 PM
Imagine an ent doing that.
VardaYesterday at 5:07 PM
We got around Great-Uncle and Great-great-Uncle by just saying
Uncle. : )
ArienValarYesterday at 5:07 PM
Neigh shakes proud head and steps carefully towards the
other stallion , stamps forehoof and scratches the floor before
sniffing his opposite neighs loudly and runs off in playful
challenge to a race
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:08 PM
So.. you're suggesting Nahar had some hobbies of his own while Orome
was talking to the elves.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:08 PM
Aye. The wildlife of Aman would be on more of a life-cycle
comfortable to the Eldar, so that would give the animals of Aman a
much longer lifespan than the average Endoran equivalent.
[5:09 PM]
Aye to Varda re: Oromë riding Nahar.
VardaYesterday at 5:10 PM
Phar, I don't have long enough immortality to wait on that Ent.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:10 PM
hehehe
VardaYesterday at 5:11 PM
Another thing. JRRT knew horses from his own life. A lot of his
descriptions of their behavior are dead-on.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:11 PM
I imagine Nahar was a hard suitor to compete against, heh. Then
again, I can just imagine one mare going "Nope, I'm going with
this plain old joe over here," Lol.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:12 PM
Some stallions are just too much.
[5:13 PM]
I'm told women like the modest ones.
VardaYesterday at 5:13 PM
And there is usually more than one herd. By that time, the horse
number in Valinor should have been high, and all those incoming
elves wanted steeds.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:13 PM
Or "True Love" :} That one plain joe is all the world to her,
hehehe.
VardaYesterday at 5:14 PM
go check the second string herd
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:16 PM
hehe
[5:18 PM]
Now I'm thinking about the old Disney Ichabod and Mr. Toad "Legend
of Sleepy Hollow" segment. Brom Bones I think the name is of the
primary antagonist. Not that Ichabod is shown to be of completely
noble standing either. Still one of my favorites to watch around
Halloween.(edited)
VardaYesterday at 5:19 PM
: )
[5:19 PM]
It has reached the hour (and a quarter over, cough)
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:20 PM
I should have that movie somewhere...
VardaYesterday at 5:20 PM
the gavel ties itself to a pony and dashes out on our very large
table
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:20 PM
in the big ol disney folder
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:20 PM
Oh good, so you know it then :}
VardaYesterday at 5:20 PM
gallumph gallumph gallumph
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:20 PM
Familiar with the movie, don't remember that segment much
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:20 PM
I was afraid I needed to dig out a youtube link if I could find one.
VardaYesterday at 5:20 PM
the hammerpad enjoys making a new sound
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:20 PM
Ah, ok.
ArienValarYesterday at 5:21 PM
the golden sunhorse follows the gavel pony and tries to catch it
VardaYesterday at 5:21 PM
The gavel gallops back to the shelf, and through the wall out the
other side, and the gallumph continues into the sunset

Lol,.. there's a version of Legend of Sleepy Hollow with Jeff
Goldlum as Ichabod Crane. Immediately adding to my favorites for
Halloween.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:33 PM
I did watch the tv show a few years ago.
VardaYesterday at 5:33 PM
Where is that?
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:33 PM
Wherein Ichabod Crane wakes up after all those years and has to
adapt to modern times while working with a police officer to stop
the apocalypse.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:34 PM
I haven't watched this yet, so can't speak on anything about it
other than it has Jeff Goldblum in it. Watch at your own risk :} ---

The Triglavian invasion of new eden continues
[5:36 PM]

are hitting stars and such

Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:37 PM

So far the Trigs have taken two systems, Raravoss and Vale, and the
EDENCOM forces have fortified 14(edited)

Thanks for coming in and updating us, Pallando! checks out the
site
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:39 PM
(Slight adjustment to my RP post to give a better chance for
implication of more time passing.)
Pallando-ValarYesterday at 5:40 PM
I've been working both with my main alliance and several other
groups to try and hold the line. Today was spent doing that, pushing
Trigs almost completely out within 24 hours of one of my alliance's
main systems.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:40 PM
Pallando saving the world.
[5:40 PM]
Or universe.
Pallando-ValarYesterday at 5:40 PM
We're expecting more changes and updates and progress for both sides
in the next few weeks during Gathering Storm and Lighting Strikes,
which are focused on introducing a new ship line.
[5:41 PM]
Unfortunately the new ships are terrible and useless with current
stats/mechanics, but hopefully CCP does some work before launch or
soon after.
[5:42 PM]
But yeah. This is a really exciting time in Eve, the first time in
well over 10 years that they've done a sort of world-impacting
event.
VardaYesterday at 5:42 PM
Impressive push-out!
Pallando-ValarYesterday at 5:42 PM
I have my quibbles with it but as compared to 10 years of
stagnation: I'll take it.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:42 PM

Yes, but for Reasons you're better off pinging me on discord.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:44 PM
OK, fair enough, lol :}
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 5:44 PM
Those Reasons sound quite ominous.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 5:45 PM
Just figured I'd try to squeeze as many shameless plugs into one as
I could :}

Reasons include: when I'm on in game there's a real solid chance I
can't spare the attention to talk with you because I'm doing things
like pushing Trigs out of a system.
VardaYesterday at 5:50 PM
Sounds like a good Reasons. : )

Kongregate

Blizzard gaming:
RP discussion continued:
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 7:47 PM
(Oh, did you all want me to try and put down something easier to
build on for the RP?)
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 7:49 PM
We might be able to come up with something, not sure what your
intention was if any.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 8:26 PM
What's going in my head right now is that we basically find that
whoever we thought was going to be there based on Fainan seeing them
heading that way, if they stopped there at all they didn't stay long
enough to leave any evidence behind.(edited)
[8:29 PM]
No evidence of a campfire, sleeping bags, or bits of burnt
marshmallow from the roasting, hehe.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 8:30 PM
Ah
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 8:30 PM
So either the group Fainan saw just kept going, or they're really
good.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 8:30 PM
Probably the latter!
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 8:31 PM
Other than that, I didn't have a definite "they did stop" or "they
didn't stop."
[8:32 PM]
The point is our characters can't be sure because they're not seeing
the evidence of a stop, but they have Fainan's reports that there
was a group heading this way.
[8:32 PM]
And Auros' seeing movements in wee morning hours in that direction.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 8:32 PM
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 8:33 PM
:}
[8:38 PM]
Any of that help? :}
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 8:39 PM
It might
[8:40 PM]
Anyway, sorry about the delay, found myself playing Decision 2 again
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 8:40 PM
So I should let someone else post next? :}
[8:40 PM]
No worries :}

Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 8:40 PM
Heroes of the Storm:
3 levels gained, to 418!
[8:41 PM]
Falstad, my latest assassin to level 5, and 2 other heroes leveled
through brawls; Blaze to level 2 and ETC to level 3. Not my favorite
heroes, but at least I have some experience with them now.
[8:41 PM]
The third brawl was with good old Lunara, who I hadn't played in
quite a while. Still pretty good at it though!
[8:42 PM]
Hearthstone:
One level gained, Demon Hunter to 24 golden card gotten!
[8:44 PM]
And keeping up with opening packs now; got another legendary, the
warrior weapon Bulwark of Azzinoth, which appears to be a spiky
shield, functioning as both a low damage weapon and a way to block
damage to your hero.
[8:45 PM]
Brawl this week was murlocs! Choose a class, get random murlocs and
a few class cards. I chose the demon hunter to get some experience
and use his hero ability to damage some enemy murlocs, but ended up
not really using it. Was a close match, but ended up with a
legendary murloc with charge and attack bonus for every murloc on
the board... which was a lot at the time, from both sides
[8:46 PM]
WoW:
[8:51 PM]
Raiding plans changed around a bit, we'll now also be doing those
altraids on heroic difficulty. This leaves tuesdays free for other
activities, where we might do some achievement or just have a free
night. I hope for achievements myself
[8:52 PM]
For corruptions I bought my first 2 crit chance corruptions, so
progress there! While discussing it I got ideas for a feral build
with Predator and Jungle Fury, making for high crit and a lot of
cooldown reduction on certain abilities, which actually work really
well in Visions.
[8:53 PM]
So with that new build I went into Orgrimmar with 5 masks, and
actually got pretty far, making it to the last zone with plenty of
orbs left, but ultimately getting killed not long before Rexxar.
[8:54 PM]
Affixes are terrible this week though, so with some practice and
maybe some better affixes I should get it soon enough.
[8:56 PM]
Battleground weekly, which went pretty well too I went for 1
battleground each for the first 4 days of the reset, to get maximum
conquest out of it. And with the weekly complete, I got enough
conquest for the trinket and am only 360 conquest away from the
chestpiece, which is the last bit I need to complete the appearance
set for this season. Shouldn't be long
[8:58 PM]
And I think that's all in-game? Not much progress this week.
[8:58 PM]
Out of game I did catch up a bit more with wowhead pages, working
through various alpha builds and getting hyped on stuff including
Ardenweald
[8:59 PM]
And I completed my warlock biography, posting it on our wow guild
forum. Now the trilogy of the Cogtripper children is complete
[8:59 PM]
And I edited the earlier biographies to add armory links for each
character.
[9:00 PM]
Next up will be my dwarf shadowpriest, but first... I dove into the
expansion for Total Annihilation at last
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 9:00 PM
I don't see it on our Forum....
[9:00 PM]
Unless you edited a current post.
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 9:00 PM
Nope, waiting a bit with that still.
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 9:00 PM
Ah, got the impression you were saying you posted it :}
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 9:00 PM
Want the priest first to complete the classic 8, and then I'll
probably start posting them on the Valar forum at regular intervals.
[9:01 PM]
No, I meant the actual WoW guild, not Valar
Eonwe ValarYesterday at 9:01 PM
OK, fair enough :}
[9:01 PM]
As long as I'm not missing something that's supposed to be there on
our forum :}
Ar-Pharazon-VYesterday at 9:01 PM
But yeah, TA finally! And sure enough, aquatic missions are still a
pain, especially when it's only water because building up defenses
gets a lot more expensive.
[9:02 PM]
Went from level 1 to 3, where I almost got overwhelmed, but got
enough defenses up to outlast the attack, after which they left me
alone for long enough.
[9:03 PM]
On land missions, it's a lot cheaper and more efficient to build
units, but for water maps, building the water versions of defensive
structures is cheaper and faster than building the ships. It'll be
good to remember that.
[9:04 PM]
But once you get the seaplane platform going and crank out a fleet
of torpedo bombers, things turn around very quickly
[9:04 PM]
Almost done with cleaning up the third level and then hopefully
we'll move on a world with more land!
[9:05 PM]
And that's my report for the week!
