Varda — Today at 4:05 PM

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:05 PM
<---- Kirby is the guy in my image, so.. don't make me fight you? ;}

Maha — Today at 4:06 PM
the vacuum cleaner?

Varda — Today at 4:07 PM
moves out of the line of fire

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:07 PM
Well, he does inhale enemies to copy their powers.

Irmo — Today at 4:07 PM
Eonw๋, you may be our herald, but sometimes ....

Varda — Today at 4:07 PM
He's definitely a Lost Vala. : )

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:07 PM

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:17 PM
Aiya!
[4:17 PM]
Also happy birthdays and weddings

Varda — Today at 4:17 PM
Eonwe is very patiently tryng to help me figure out coding the latest story.
[4:17 PM]
Aiya Phar : )
[4:17 PM]
Sandalf13 made it to our Forum and hopes to join us here on Discord once he works his way through the hoops.

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:17 PM
Also The Nature of Middle-Earth arrived at my house this week

Varda — Today at 4:18 PM
Ohh! Did you get to take a peek into it?

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:18 PM
I did! A lot of random essays and stuff, about the nature of the world, but also random details filled in here and there, the wildlife on Numenor grabbing my attention especially
[4:19 PM]
Basically a sequel to HoME, with extra added things.
[4:19 PM]
Three words: Dancing Numenorean Bears.

Varda — Today at 4:19 PM
Numenorean wildlife was different?
[4:20 PM]
heh

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:20 PM
If they danced out on the wild with no training, I'd say yes :}

Varda — Today at 4:20 PM
Beornings present?

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:20 PM
Just bears, by the looks of it. They got along well with the Numenoreans and put up dancing shows for them.
[4:21 PM]
Also foxes, turtles, goats and other things I dont'remember right now.

Varda — Today at 4:21 PM
I wonder if that was an early story that influenced the later Beornings who seem to have danced in bear form.
[4:21 PM]
No giant turtles by any chance?

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:21 PM
No dogs or wolves native to the isle.

Varda — Today at 4:22 PM
Bet no cats.

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:22 PM
Actually, Varda, I think all this stuff came from later, so it might have been inspired by the Beorning story.

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:22 PM
Wonder if they were brought from Aman like gifts from the Elves.

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:22 PM
There were cats.
[4:23 PM]
Wild cats, but no large ones.
[4:24 PM]
"In the south there were some land-tortoises, of no great size; and also some small freshwater creatures of turtle-kind."
[4:24 PM]
This thing is a goldmine

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:26 PM
gold?..... or mithril! (dramatic music plays)

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:26 PM
Looks like this essay dates from '65, so well after The Hobbit.

Varda — Today at 4:26 PM
Fastitocalon toodles by in the ocean

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:27 PM
Very recommended, anyway.

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:27 PM
It does sound interesting so far.

Varda — Today at 4:27 PM
Thanks. We'll have to get our copy too!

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:27 PM
Also a lot about time and aging, spirituality of the Valar, and just... stuff about everything.

Varda — Today at 4:28 PM
Mention of the Valar of Time?
[4:28 PM]
Guess we'll just have to read it for all of our questions!
[4:28 PM]
On to...
[4:28 PM]

Gaming!

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:28 PM
Haven't come across it, but there's calendar stuff and time divisions.

Varda — Today at 4:29 PM
Sounds useful.

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:29 PM
And yes, you will

Varda — Today at 4:29 PM
Eonwe, would you like this very shiny gavel for Gaming?

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:29 PM
Sure.

Varda — Today at 4:29 PM
read read

Arien  Valar — Today at 4:30 PM
aiya

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:30 PM
First of all, the GSMU mails have gone out to everyone listed as active on the Membership Page who also had an email. [Note: GSMU means "Games Site Mass Update".]

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:30 PM
Aiya!

Varda — Today at 4:30 PM
Aiya Arien : )

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:31 PM
So I'm now accepting updates for the Games Site through all avenues: e-mail, forums, Discord.
[4:32 PM]
PM/Whisper it to me, include your guild name if it's different from your account name in case it doesn't show the same as your screen name.

Arien  Valar — Today at 4:33 PM
I will email it to you else it gets too overwhelming and confusing for yhou
[4:34 PM]
I am so spread out

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:34 PM
And heya Arien :}

That's it for gaming news for me. I return it to Varda for LotRO news.

Varda — Today at 4:37 PM
Thank you.
[4:37 PM]
Lord of the Rings Online:
A new system for the legendary items is being tested. As with any change or suggestion of change, there is much angst, but hopefully it addresses the previous complaints and arguments will be considered.
[4:39 PM]
I finally have the current system pretty well figured out and will have to adjust to the new one, whatever comes out. : )

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:42 PM
Have fun!

Varda — Today at 4:42 PM
Thanks!

Arien  Valar — Today at 4:43 PM
thanks  I managed  2 levels more on my Guardian Arriehn [Note: Lord of the Rings Online game character.]

Varda — Today at 4:43 PM
Congrats : )

Arien  Valar — Today at 4:44 PM
so she is 123  now

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:44 PM
Grats!

Varda — Today at 4:44 PM
We also had some gamers pop into Landroval that we don't normally get to see. Here's hoping they enjoyed it and come back. : )
[4:45 PM]
About Arien's accomplishment in leveling, the Guardian is perhaps the most difficult to level with any kind of speed. So congratulations!

Arien  Valar — Today at 4:45 PM
oh that is a relief to know

Varda — Today at 4:46 PM
(It's not you!)

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:46 PM
It doesn't get any worse? :)

Arien  Valar — Today at 4:47 PM
it was fujn or is fun to play in the beginninng of the Third Age or end of the second in a Mordor that isn t completely gone yet

Varda — Today at 4:47 PM
It is really nice for a Guardian to get to run with almost any other class so as to practice actual tanking while the other pew pews it in safety.
[4:47 PM]
True!
[4:47 PM]
The concept of the power vacuum after Sauron was gone is intriguing.
[4:48 PM]
Lot of that had to be made up, heh. But they try to keep inside the lore or at least the feel of it.

Arien  Valar — Today at 4:48 PM
they do indeed

Varda — Today at 4:48 PM
And on to...
[4:48 PM]

top

Tolkien!

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:49 PM
I wonder how they'd feel about the dancing bears then...

Varda — Today at 4:49 PM
I'll bet the Devs are devouring the new book. : )

Arien  Valar — Today at 4:49 PM
Which one?

Varda — Today at 4:50 PM
Phar, you get to field that question. : )
[4:50 PM]
Since you got it last week.

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:51 PM
Ah, yes, sorry, just logged in WoW...

Varda — Today at 4:52 PM
The Nature of Middle-Earth

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:52 PM
The book is called The Nature of Middle-Earth, and  it's an official sequel-ish book to the HoME, with bits and pieces by JRR on various subjects
[4:52 PM]
Main sections are:
[4:52 PM]
Part 1: Time and Aging
[4:53 PM]
Part 2: Body, Mind and Spirit
[4:53 PM]
Part 3: The World, its lands and its inhabitants

Arien  Valar — Today at 4:53 PM
Oh nice I got to get hold of it

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:54 PM
Mostly writings from later times, around the time of the content of Morgoth's Ring to Peoples of Middle-Earth (10-12 of HoME), often a bit more philosophical in nature, but part 3 has a lot of fun new details such as the aforementioned bears
[4:55 PM]
Lots of linguistic stuff too.
[4:55 PM]
So yeah, if more of us get and read it, it'll fill a lot of meeting topics

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 4:56 PM
:}

Arien  Valar — Today at 4:56 PM
I ll look forward to it

Varda — Today at 4:59 PM
The original topic for tonight was intended in expectation of Sandalf's making it but now we're free to entertain other notions.
[4:59 PM]
One that is all Arien's fault  is

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:59 PM
I still see a sandalled Gandalf with that name.

Varda — Today at 4:59 PM
would they have had a power vacuum after Sauron that caused a ton of infighting?

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 4:59 PM
Beach gandalf.

Varda — Today at 4:59 PM
Rolling Stone

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:00 PM
Well, orcs didn't tend to get along well among themselves even when Sauron was around.

Varda — Today at 5:00 PM
We know there was a lot of fighting that Aragorn and Eomer had to do, taking out their armies together to quell it.
[5:00 PM]
True, Phar.

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:00 PM
And at an earlier version of the story, "Sharku" in the Shire was an orc.

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:01 PM
Assuming the forces of the West didn't mop up very well right after the Ring's destruction, it's possible there could be higher-ups under Sauron who tried to step up as the new Dark Lord.

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:01 PM
So I think there's some potential for some Orc warlords setting up and fighting each other.

Arien  Valar — Today at 5:01 PM
I think it  not unliklely and agree to what Phari said

Varda — Today at 5:01 PM
We know the orcs were already muttering about going on their own in bands of bandits.

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:01 PM
Otherwise, probably nothing so grand.

Varda — Today at 5:01 PM
So, aye, we can figure on orc bands, your warlords
[5:02 PM]
A large number of humans might also have fought back bitterly, as Aragorn discovered from captives that they thought their capture would mean horribly brutal treatment.

Arien  Valar — Today at 5:02 PM
And survivors of human bands, black Numenorians and Easerlings perhaps

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:03 PM
Regional leaders trying to consolidate power is likely.

Varda — Today at 5:03 PM
The orcs would plunder any other group for fun and profit.

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:03 PM
Fun = profit!

Varda — Today at 5:03 PM
Some of the higher powered types might try to collect bands of orcs and or humans.
[5:04 PM]
The nameless things in the deep might have started coming up somewhat as they didn't have Sauron and his lot to keep them in line?
[5:04 PM]
The elves were leaving and a lot of high-powered aid to the Free Peoples went with them.

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:04 PM
Depending on the inclinations of the tribes/kingdoms Sauron's servants were from, they may either see Aragorn's mercy as weakness, or as a chance to be free of Sauron and rule themselves.

Varda — Today at 5:05 PM
If they even knew of the mercy. They heard a lot of ugly propaganda and most were far away from those that might tell them differently.

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:05 PM
I do recall Aragorn having to make expeditions into Harad territory.
[5:05 PM]
So there's some unrest there.

Varda — Today at 5:06 PM
And we don't know what was going on with the Blue Wizards and their potential cults or offshoots.

Arien  Valar — Today at 5:07 PM
Remember last year s story for the anniversary I wrote ?
[5:08 PM]
The corsair who decided to seek Aragorns aid because he saw his people starve?
[5:10 PM]
http://valarguild.org/varda/Tolkien/encyc/fiction/authors/Arien/stories/TurningTides.htm that one

Varda — Today at 5:12 PM
I remember. That fits.

Arien  Valar — Today at 5:14 PM
And with that I have to leave you I am afraid as always on a Sunday now

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:14 PM
Aw, namarie!

Varda — Today at 5:14 PM
It's past 5
[5:15 PM]
so we're keeping you late.

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:15 PM
Sleep well Arien :}

Varda — Today at 5:15 PM
Namarie Sunshine!
[5:15 PM]
the gavel shines brightly as it glides across the mirrored surface of our table
tinnnnng!
the hammerpad rang for a while longer as the gavel glided back to the shelf to the cheers of other gavels
[5:16 PM]

After-meeting!

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:16 PM
I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone of something very important....

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:17 PM
Always look before crossing the road!

Arien  Valar — Today at 5:17 PM
Namarie for now

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:17 PM
On October 3rd, Gandalf was attacked by Nazgul on Weathertop. The next day, the Valar Guild was formed. Coincidence? I think not :}

Varda — Today at 5:20 PM
Huzzah!!

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:20 PM
I'm really trying to work with that.
[5:20 PM]
But it's difficult.

Varda — Today at 5:23 PM
Gandalf was victorious in his battle like a proper lore-geek gaming!

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:23 PM
? Gandalf attacked October 3rd. Valar Guild formed October 4th.

Varda — Today at 5:24 PM
Pre-cursor. Our shining example.

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:24 PM
True, that! Gandalf was fighting Nazgul like he was playing Diablo, which I believe was pretty much the origin of the guild?

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:25 PM
Happy Birthday to Irmo now that's it's his birthday :}

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:25 PM
Huzzah!

Varda — Today at 5:27 PM
Happy Birthday!
[5:31 PM]
Right. The guild started in Diablo 1.

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:31 PM

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:33 PM
Oh, speaking of Diablo, I went ahead and pre-ordered D2:Resurrection with the Diablo epic collection upgrade or what it's called.
[5:34 PM]
What I lack in time right now, I make up for in ambition for the future...

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:37 PM
heh
[5:37 PM]
I'll just stick with my old copy of D2 if I really want to play, since all I'd play anyway is the ME mod. [Note: "Middle-earth module" made by two people inspired by us and who later joined for a time.]

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:37 PM
hehe

Eonw๋ Valar — Today at 5:43 PM
OK, I must now be off.
[5:43 PM]
Take care all, good night, sleep well, and have fun :}

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 5:53 PM
Fun fact: According to Tolkien, the Elven heritage was so strong, that all the descendants of Elros, at least up to Aragorn's time, would be beardless. [Note: Phar is pulling this from The Nature of Middle-earth, and it's also mentioned in a footnote for "Das Buch" by Sandalf13.]
[5:53 PM]
The same goes for Imrahil.
[5:58 PM]
There's gold in these here chapters. Goooold.

[7:39 PM]
For (non)flashgaming we've got 3 games, and for a change we've got a new one on one of the other sites I check

Ar-Pharazon-V — Today at 7:47 PM
Which is http://www.physicsgames.net/game/Cute_Elements.html as the first game! In each level, use the elemental blocks, each with different powers, to get the key and bring it to the lock. As you continue along, you'll unlock more of them to help you out.
    Physics Games - Cute Elements
    Help the cute characters bring the key to the lock in each stage. After you place a character on the screen, you can activate their special abilities (e.g., morphing into liquid form). Remove objects and press buttons when necessary.
[7:48 PM]
Free all your friends :)

Blizzard gaming:
[8:11 PM]
Diablo:
Well, like I said, Diablo 2: Resurrected got, through the Prime Evil Upgrade, which in my case got me not only the D2 pre-order but also a few new items for Diablo 3, including a pet, wings, and a transmog set.
[8:12 PM]
Also included in the Prime Evil Collection are Diablo 3, the expansion, and the necromancer pack, and the Upgrade will give you what you're missing at an adjusted price.
[8:14 PM]
Hearthstone:
Made it to 71 on the reward track. Got enough gold on the way to buy a new hero skin, too.
I'm not planning on using (right now) the remaining skins anyway, but I wants em, with the card backs that come with em. So I just grabbed the first one in the list which was Sylvanas
[8:15 PM]
Time to save gold for the next one!
[8:17 PM]
Brawl is the All-Star Squad: Pick a class, pick a card, get 22 copies and 8 random class cards. There are a lot of cards that synchronize well with themselves, but I went for a hunter with Prospector's Caravan myself, which gives all minions in your hand 1/1 stats at the start of your turn. If you get a few kinda souped up ones on the board at the same time, things will get out of control quickly, in your favor
[8:18 PM]
I've also had some fun with the Elwynn Boar card, which will give you the Sword of Thousand Truths (caught the reference?) if you can get 7 of them killed.
WoW:
[8:19 PM]
Raiding: Still at 9 on normal, 3 on heroic. The Nine giving us a bit of trouble sometimes, but getting better at it, and we got some tries at the fourth boss on heroic as well.
Got my heroic raid-weapon from The Nine as well
[8:20 PM]
A staff lacking in secondary stats, but you can use it to transform into a valkyr and get all your secondary stats buffed for 30 seconds with a 3 minute cooldown. Worth it for those burst phases!
And it looks good
[8:21 PM]
The Torghast event where you can transform into a Chorus of Dead Souls this week is quite interesting, especially once you get a few of the interesting powerups for it. Got a few more ranks of reduced elite damage out of it, as well.
[8:22 PM]
Weekly is arena skirmishes, which are going well enough, especially with the upgraded trinkets
[8:23 PM]
Got my last pet-charm-bought pet for now, Gloober, as G'huun  The little white roleplaying gormling was one I'd been looking forward to!
[8:24 PM]
Renown to 62, unlocking a new adventurer for the mission table as well. Only lacking one more, I think.
[8:25 PM]
Oh, got a second pet as well from Torghast, the Maw Stalker.
One more Eye recolor
[8:26 PM]
Also, for anima, got my first weapon appearance from the renown vendor, the scepter. Still a few more to go, but getting there.
[8:27 PM]
And finally, after seeing someone in the raid with glasses-appearances, I visited the vendor in Stormwind, bought all 5, and gave their appearances to some of my alts!
