Before-meeting

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Hallo! Anyone at home?

Varda — 04/17/2022
Aiya Sandalf
[3:52 PM]
Very near meeting time. : )

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Aiya Varda! How is your holiday going? Did you have family over?

Varda — 04/17/2022
We had hoped to but it didn't happen. However, there are 4 of us here enjoying fresh chocolate chip cookies and smelling the barbecue grill. : )
    [Note: we went to family since they were tied up, but after the meeting which is still fairly early in the day for us, one reason we see so few Americans at meetings.]
[3:53 PM]
How about you?

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
What is on the grill?

Varda — 04/17/2022
Mostly steaks but I see other things being sneaked that direction like carrots and others.

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
IT was a surprisingly cold day today...not Springlike at all. Funny: the old saying is March is in like a lion and out like a lamb...well this year, everything is reversed. March came in like a lamb and went out with a lion. April has been the same. We had some snow in the air this morning...gray and cloud covered.
[3:54 PM]
Steak sound wonderful. Are you fully recovered?

Varda — 04/17/2022
I have another month to go
[3:58 PM]
Beautiful day here.

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Good for you! I hope you will enjoy a lovely evening dinner with your family. Things were quiet here today. I still need to get to Planet Fitness for my workout.

Varda — 04/17/2022
Think you'll be here for the meeting? Got another minute til time.

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Yes. I plan to remain here until we get going and see what happens. I wonder if Saoir or Ar or Eonwe will join us today.
[4:01 PM]
Yes...you still have a month to go, but is it the kind of thing where you are at least getting more comfortable as time goes by?

Varda — 04/17/2022
When I don't do something stupid, yes. : )

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Well, don't do anything stupid then, OK?

Varda — 04/17/2022
@Bounder Aiya! Time to say hi and tell Easter fun and talk Tolkien and gaming!
[4:03 PM]
Too late. ; )
But recovering from them.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Heya all and Happy Easter.

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Same to you, and Aiya!

Varda — 04/17/2022
Aiya Fionwe : )
[4:03 PM]
Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo!

Falco — 04/17/2022
Happy Easter!  Aiya!

Varda — 04/17/2022
Falco! Aiya! May the stars never be blocked from your sight!

To all, a Happy Easter. : )
[4:05 PM]
Ioreth has had both bad and good news on her cancer.
They found more than expected but think they can remove it all this go-around.
So we'll still have our Ioreth. : )

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
That is good to hear.

Varda — 04/17/2022

And with that the Gaming News I have is complete. Any other gaming news?

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
sort of if u like
[4:19 PM]
My copy of Sylvanas , Christie Golden s latest wow book arrived on Thursday and i am more than half through already
If you like wow lore , written in Chrisie s unique gripping way .. head on
[4:21 PM]
but not sure if it falls under gaming news ... kind of anyway .. Yeah if you want to know more about Sylvanas I highly recommend it
that s all :)_

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Congrats Arien :}

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
thanks  slo my only caveat is .. do not start reading if you are in a hurry or are about to go to bed

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Hehe.
[4:26 PM]
Nope, none of us have ever done anything of the sort.

Varda — 04/17/2022
(back)
[4:28 PM]
yes, it's gaming news.: )

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Welcome back :}

Varda — 04/17/2022
Bedtime, the moment of grabbing the flashlight when under cover?
[4:28 PM]
Hantal : )

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
well that is an option

Varda — 04/17/2022
Any other gaming news? Other fun news?
[4:29 PM]
I know we are bound to have more. Feel free to chime in with it later!
Eonwe? Go ahead.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Nothing from me, was just going to say it would seem safe to move to Tolkien if we have something there :}

Varda — 04/17/2022
Okie dokie
[4:30 PM]
Then, on to...
[4:30 PM]

top

Tolkien!

[4:31 PM]
A Tolkien Moment coming up, in honor of our poor Sandalf who hasn't gotten to see one yet. : )
[4:32 PM]
This is set in the Two Towers, right after Pippin looked into the palantir and is now away from the others.

Two Towers "The Palantír"

"How is the hobbit, Pippin?" asked Aragorn.
"I think all will be well now," answered Gandalf. "It was not held long, and hobbits have an amazing power of recovery.
The memory, or the horror of it, will probably fade quickly. Too quickly, perhaps.
Will you, Aragorn, take the Orthanc-stone and guard it? It is a dangerous charge."
"Dangererous indeed, but not to all," said Aragorn. "There is one who may claim it by right.
For this assuredly is the palantír of Orthanc from the treasury of Elendil set here by the Kings of Gondor.
Now my hour draws near. I will take it."
Gandalf looked at Aragorn, and then, to the surprise of the others, he lifted the covered stone, and bowed as he presented it.
"Receive it, lord!" he said: "in earnest of other things that shall be given back. But if I may counsel you inthe use of your own do not use it--yet! Be wary!"
[4:35 PM]
(end Moment)
Why did I pick this as a Moment?
[4:36 PM]
No guess? : )
Early recognition of Aragorn's time to become king being nigh.
Ok, that was what I had.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
True. Even though Anduril was reforged, I suppose this is the first time someone (in this case Gandalf) deferred to him as if he were king.

Varda — 04/17/2022
Anduril was also  a major moment.
[4:37 PM]
Aye.

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Yes...and then very shortly thereafter, Aragorn challenged Sauron DIRECTLY through the Palantir. Even Gandalf was afraid of such an encounter. As elvish as Aragorn was, it did not take him long to realize that Sauron had to be "drawn out" from the comfort of making all the first moves in the War of the Ring. With just enough power, Aragorn gained control of the Palantir, no doubt shocking Sauron into some rash (as it turned out) decisions.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Remembering vaguely a quote from Tolkien, I believe he'd say more it was authority, not power, that helped Aragorn with the Palantir. The Palantir was by right his, and Sauron was many leagues away.

Varda — 04/17/2022
True! But he had to wait a bit first, while Sauron was misled to think the hobbit was the Ringbearer and in Saruman's possession. Pippin gave them time!

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
All true.

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
in the houses of healing .. when Aragorn healed Faramir and Pippin

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Sauron had stolen the Ithil-stone and forced it to his will.

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
and in the City after the battle of the Pelennor fields but he did not want to reveeal himself at the time and went again
[4:44 PM]
but he was recognized as king

Varda — 04/17/2022
Anyway, a Tolkien Moment is something beautiful, scary, important (or all of the above) that we quote in the meeting. Discussion may or may not follow.
[4:54 PM]
Easiest to look it up and type it into a note for copy/paste into the meeting in a timely and reasonably well-spelled manner. ; )
[4:55 PM]
Any other Tolkien comments or requests for something?

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
I... request everyone reads LotR? :} Am I doing it right? ;}

Varda — 04/17/2022
Good request : )
[4:58 PM]
Also, for those interested that have the LotRO game, a Silmarillion discussion for any that want to is held Saturdays at 8 pm Eastern in Rivendell/Last Homely House/Hall of Fire (first floor).
Ioreth clued me into this and I show up most of the time. They go chapter by chapter.
Ch 10 is for next Saturday.
[5:00 PM]
If there are no other thoughts?

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Aíya, catching up

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Thoughts? Plenty. Words? Fewer :}
[5:02 PM]
And heya Phar :}

Varda — 04/17/2022
Aiya Phar : )
[5:03 PM]
Happy Easter, Phar. : )

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
hmm just thinking of the song that got me into Blind Guardian it was this one
[5:06 PM]

    BulletPetrucci
    Blind Guardian-Lord of the rings lyrics.

[5:06 PM]
and the Poem that inspired the song ~
[5:07 PM]
well known to us all
[5:07 PM]
3 rings for the Elves under the sky , seven for the dwarf Lords in their halls of stone , nine for mortal men doomed to die
[5:09 PM]
One ring for the dark Lord on his dark Throne in the Land of Mordor where the shadows are .. one ring to enslave  and  find them all , IN the land of Mordor where the shadows are

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Caught up
[5:09 PM]
I've got the Sylvanas book as well!
Leafed through it a bit, but right now it's standing pretty a bit above my head.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
('Where the shadows lie' is the English text :})

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
I should've gotten the Tolkien book yesterday but they failed to deliver it for some reason, so now it's sent to a delivery point in the neighbourhood where I can probably pick it up tuesday.

Varda — 04/17/2022
Ouch

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
phew

Varda — 04/17/2022
gavel pops over and gently taps the hammerpad
hammerpad giggles

After-meeting!

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Yes, was a bit weird. We checked whether the doorbell works and we were in the living room at the time of check, so maybe they never managed to get here or got lost or something?
[5:11 PM]
Never happened before.
But as long as I'll be able to pick it up it's fine

    Sound Of Storm
    Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Nightfall in Middle-Earth is a great album.

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
indeed it is
[5:13 PM]
i ve got the remastered version

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
The video you put up says I need to watch it on Youtube, Arien.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
One or two of the songs are a bit weak, but the good ones are great.

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
aye

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022

Or you can just click on Arien's link to watch it in youtube :} Either way :}

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
Standing out are Nightfall and Time stands still on the Iron Hill i think#

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Wow! It works!  I will have to watch it when I have some time to do nothing else. I am leaving for a week's visit to my sister in North Carolina tomorrow evening. Along with visiting her, I will drive up to VA to spend a couple of days with one of my friends from middle school (Junior High School) days...Alan. I should have plenty of time to relax with my laptop. Do not worry! I am bringing my charger with me!

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Thorn is another good one., and Eldar if you want something soft and sad.

Varda — 04/17/2022
Sounds like a great trip! Enjoy!

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
when sorrow sings  is a tip for a softer one as well

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Oh, happy easter all

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Nightfall and Thorn are probably my favorites. Noldor and When Sorrow Sang Softly really close after.

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Family night is why I'm late. I knew it wouldn't be a total loss of meeting, but didn't know whether I'd be late.
[5:20 PM]
Raid also fell through, so I was free to game with them

Varda — 04/17/2022
Yay family night!

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Sounds like a fun trip Sandalf. :}

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
that is a valid excuse

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
I knew it would be

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
I tried to see my sister in October, but I got caught up in that Southwest Airlines Snafu. It was a mess. I never got where I was supposed to go!
[5:22 PM]
I am bringing my running stuff with me, and will sign up for one month of extended membership at Planet Fitness so I can keep up with my lifting while I am on visit with my sister and my friend. He promised me a day of bike riding in and around Fredericksburg, VA, a very interesting place from the days of the Civil War. I think that Spring is more advanced there than it is here...I am not planning on bringing my winter running things, that is for sure.

Varda — 04/17/2022
: )

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Your skates?

Varda — 04/17/2022
skis ; )

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
ha ha. No need for those, either. Besides, my hockey skates need a sharpening, desperately.
[5:25 PM]
Just like my head.
[5:27 PM]
the only thing I am worried about is that my plane is scheduled to arrive in Raleigh-Durham N.C. around 2315, and the car rental counter closes at 0000. I have only 45 minutes to get to the car place, if the plane lands ontime.
And that is a big if, as my last attempt at airline travel showed me back in October.

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Bound to go well one of these days!

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Well, it's 2022 right now, so I think it might be a little ambitious to expect the car rental counter to still be open in 2315,......
[5:28 PM]
(Sorry, bad joke)

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Yes, It was.
[5:29 PM]
But ha ha, anyway.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
But anyway, I hope it all goes smoothly.

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Thank you all very much. I hope so too. I also hope I can spend some time on my Tolkien work while I am there...not much else to do, and my sister has WiFi installed in her hous.

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
good luck with the journey .. but i ll have to fly upstairs i fear

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Fly, you fool!

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
I ll resperct your last wishj

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
Don't forget that the Wicked Witch of the West also told her minions to "Fly!"
[5:32 PM]
So, Arien: Fliegen Sie zum Bett!

Arien  Valar — 04/17/2022
Namarie! and enjoy
[5:32 PM]
Danke

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Sleep well Arien.

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
:)

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
namarie!

Sandalf13 — 04/17/2022
I must also toddle off...need to get a few things done tonight in preparation for my trip. Hope you all have a great week ahead, and I will see you next Sunday....I need to remember to log in at 1700 EST, not 1600 CST. Sei gesund!

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Namarie

Varda — 04/17/2022
Namarie

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Sleep well Sandalf.
[5:42 PM]
And for Varda, Arien, and Phar: don't forget about the RP :}

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
I suspect Varda's next

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Aye, but no harm in plotting future posts :}

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
My only plotting tends to be long-term.
[5:44 PM]
Like... 10 years, at our usual speed
[5:44 PM]
Like... I'll have 2 or 3 plot points/events in the far future, and for the rest I'm perfectly okay with being guided through the story.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
So kinda like.... https://youtu.be/ZgeIiREvafQ?t=7

[5:46 PM]
? :}

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Well enough to know you'll get me in the place where I want to go for my part of the story

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
:}

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Hint: If you're trying to pretend to be someone else for your love interest, don't give her the exact same line earlier.
[5:47 PM]
*as earlier

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Assuming he was even thinking about it when he said it. It may just be his go-to line when trying to convince someone to trust him, hehehe.

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Heh, probably.
[5:50 PM]
At least she didn't mind. "Do you trust me?" "...Yeah, I do.... but you can't trust me. Guards! Guards!"

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
It's also possible he was trying to hit that chord of memory. I haven't watched it in too long to remember the whole deal.
[5:50 PM]
hehehe

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
True.
[5:51 PM]
But I don't know. Wasn't he surprised when she called him out?

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
I should probably get that on bluray and watch it.

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
I'm kinda waiting for the live action one to hit the tv

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Don't particularly care about the live-action remakes.

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Oh, I loved Jungle Book.
[5:53 PM]
Beauty/Beast wasn't bad either.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Not saying they're necessarily all bad, just saying there comes a point where you should be making money with new projects, not remaking your old cashcows.

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Heh, there's a point.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Before they were remaking them, they were making cheap knockoff sequels of the originals. So I guess the next step is to remake the cheap knockoff sequels into cheap knockoff live action versions, with actors who are not the originals but vaguely resemble them.

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Hah.
[5:57 PM]
Honestly I prefer the live action ones to the sequels.

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Granted, Return of Jafar was pretty good as I recall, so to be clear I don't lump all sequels into the same boat :}

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Oh, yeah, that one was ok.
[5:58 PM]
I should check out Frozen 2 at some point...
[5:59 PM]
If I had a euro for everything on my 'at some point' list....

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
It wasn't bad, wasn't life-changing, heh.
[6:00 PM]
I don't regret seeing it, but I save that distinction for very few, truly "waste of my brain-power watching" kind of movies.

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Eh, I don't think I've ever really regretted seeing a movie, but generally I tend to avoid generic dramas and the like...
[6:02 PM]
Ones I pick from the tv guide are usually classic ones I've heard good things about and just want to try, and I can generally see the appeal.
[6:03 PM]
And I'm also heavily into any Marvel superhero movie that shows up that I haven't seen yet.
And yesterday I recorded the last Tarantino movie I hadn't seen yet, so that's done

Eonwë Valar — 04/17/2022
Congrats :}

Ar-Pharazon-V — 04/17/2022
Heh, thanks.

Personal gaming report!
[8:29 PM]
(non)flashgaming: Kongpanions are working again this week, so I've got a nice list of the past week's badges... and the choice is...
https://www.kongregate.com/games/ValettusGD/the-chamber
    Kongregate
    The Chamber
    A unique puzzle game where the rules change with every level! Use ingenuity, memory, and skill to discover the solutions.
    Then once you finish see how fast yo...

[8:31 PM]
A puzzle shooter game where you (a robot) have to pass a bunch of levels in a laboratory in a top-view manner, using the title and any hints (if you fail) to find out what you're supposed to do. Watch out for robotic cats!
[8:32 PM]
Smooth, fun, and quite forgiving  Enjoy!

Blizzard gaming:
[8:35 PM]
Hearthstone:
New expansion's reward track is here! And since first few levels come cheap, made it to level 29
[8:36 PM]
Along the way I got a bunch of uncraftable golden cards, a submarine card back, and 2 legendaries, Faelin and Pirate Admiral Hooktusk.
Still saving gold for diamond Drek'thar, about halfway now.
[8:37 PM]
Brawl is A Sunken Recipe. New deck recipes from the new expansion for whichever class you choose to play it with.
[8:38 PM]
Personally I enjoyed it with the Demon Hunter, which is a rather naga-centric deck with discout minions and quick damage spells.
*discount
[8:39 PM]
For mercenaries, also got a new one from the reward track, none other than Murky the murloc!
[8:39 PM]
Also leveled a bunch more, including giving Anduin his first few levels, and getting both Gruul and Gul'dan to level 30.
[8:40 PM]
WoW:
[8:41 PM]
More raiding! Have not beaten Rygelon yet, but we did try heroic and defeated the first two bosses, Vigilant Guardian and Skolex.
Third boss... needs some more work
[8:42 PM]
Also did wings 2 and 3 on LFR in an attempt to get more tierpieces, but no luck.
Weekly is timewalks, Legion-style, where my reward item also wasn't tier... and in fact a trinket I already had. Ah well! Still fun to do.
Also got to honor level 93 through the brawl.
[8:43 PM]
Finally got the Ashenvale Chimaera, a mount from a Darkshore warfront rare, and indeed my last reward missing from either warfront. So done with those!
[8:45 PM]
With the warfront rares done, I think I'll farm the 8.3 invasion rares first, for mounts, pets and toys. I'll only target one at a time this time, though, since it can be a long wait for respawn... and I've decided on Ha-Li during the mogu invasion.
[8:45 PM]
The Chimaera itself is quite nice, and the model seems to be a precursor to those Maldraxxus flying drakes.
[8:46 PM]
Have had no time for alt this week though, with holidays, things to watch on tv, timewalks and lfr. Maybe next week!
And that's my report for the week!
[8:47 PM]
namarie :)
