Sandalf13 Yesterday at 3:56 PM
Hallo !
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 3:56 PM
Aiya!
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 3:57 PM
How are you, Ar?
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 3:57 PM
Good, just wrapping up some gaming stuff before the meeting starts
[3:57 PM]
You?
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 3:57 PM
Wonderful. How is your job search going?
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 3:57 PM
I've yet to hear back from em.
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 3:58 PM
I am good... I ran for 30 minutes today without at pain, and
I walking a lot better too. I have been sleeping perfectly since
mid-July. Had my last physical therapy last Friday, and now it is
just a matter of time, I hope. It takes so long to heal once one
becomes an old-timer like me!
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 3:59 PM
Oh, nice!
[3:59 PM]
I'm jealous just of the sleeping bit
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 3:59 PM
Thank you, and good luck with the job hunt.
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 3:59 PM
thanks
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 3:59 PM
Well... I can only hope that you get well enough to enjoy your
sleep as well!
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 3:59 PM
Heat's dying down now, so it's all good. Haven't been dizzy this
weekend either.
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:00 PM
Superb!
[4:00 PM]
From our old friend Shakespeare: "The innocent sleep, the sleep
that knits the raveled sleeve of care, the end of each day's
labor, great nature's second course."
Varda Yesterday at 4:00 PM
Aiya!
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:01 PM
Aiya Varda!
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:01 PM
Aiya Varda
Varda Yesterday at 4:02 PM
Pardon, was trying to type up a paraphrase for what turned into a
long Tolkien Moment. Not yet complete, and probably should just
suggest that folk just read it. ; )
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:02 PM
Always good advice in this meeting.
[4:02 PM]
"Read the books!"
Varda Yesterday at 4:02 PM
@Bounder Aiya! Time to chat about gaming, Tolkien, and just say
hi!

You were just telling Membership news already, so I'll recommend
that folks read up to the Before-meeting section. : )
[4:03 PM]
Anything else you'd like to mention? And grats on the running!
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:04 PM
Fladrif still alive, spectated a few battleground matches he was
doing yesterday in Hearthstone.
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:04 PM
Thanks! My butt feels fine, but now everything else is sore...not
running for almost 4 months will do that to you.
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:04 PM
I didn't bring him luck though
Varda Yesterday at 4:05 PM
But at least you brought him a friend. : )
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:06 PM
True!
Varda Yesterday at 4:06 PM
Getting back into shape is a bear!
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:06 PM

Irmo! Delighted to see you!

Hi to Miriel : )
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:06 PM
(well, not right now, since I'm on the rogue rather than druid)
Varda Yesterday at 4:07 PM
Higher-pitched rawr? : )
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:07 PM
squeak?
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:07 PM
stealthy rawr

The intended rides in Lord of the Rings for the two times are
expected to go off, with fireworks. : )
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:21 PM
What's the theme for this year?
Varda Yesterday at 4:22 PM
We are open to suggestions! This is exactly the time we are
requesting ideas. : )
[4:23 PM]
Toss some ideas out there, gang. We might do a mash-up or
something entirely different!
We have some time yet to consider them or think them up.
[4:24 PM]
Any other gaming news? Requests for invites?
[4:26 PM]
Our main gaming is on Lord of the Rings, Landroval server.
Hopefully we can get set up for more group content, although
duoing is ongoing in the kin, and we join up with friends as well.

We are happy to also have Arien gaming in LotRO. : )
Arien Valar
Yesterday at 4:27 PM
Well there is a theme possible if you dont have already one
Varda Yesterday at 4:27 PM
Pallando and somewhat Sauron in Eve Online.

checks friendslist she's hanging out in Classic again!
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:27 PM
Aiya Arien!
Varda Yesterday at 4:28 PM
We are currently taking suggestions, not set on anything yet. What
idea would you like to toss into the pot?
Arien Valar Yesterday at 4:28 PM
aiya Sandalf
Varda Yesterday at 4:28 PM
Want to hear all the ideas. : )
Arien Valar Yesterday at
4:28 PM
well its sort of obvious .. since it came up already last week ..
The rings of power
[4:29 PM]
as admittedly lore and tolkien info are sometimes a bit short we
could actually collect stuff around the rings book based and as
written by The Master himself
[4:31 PM]
in the amazon series i mean . i still like it and there are
lorebased things in it even correct but in other places info gets
a bit .. lets say mixed up
Varda Yesterday at 4:31 PM
and some made of whole cloth.
We could go with Rings, aye.
That's a nice wide net to throw. : )
[4:32 PM]
First suggestion made!
Eonwλ Valar Yesterday at 4:32 PM
A net made of..... rings?!!
Varda Yesterday at 4:32 PM
Phar's suggestion last time: dwarf ring given to dragon. Melts.
Short story!
[4:32 PM]
Ring mail!
Arien Valar Yesterday at 4:33 PM
well that wouild be something .. a mail shirt made of elven rings
Varda Yesterday at 4:33 PM
Which makes one wonder. Do dragon hoards with all that gold tend
to be solid, melted masses after a while?
[4:33 PM]
Thanos would be proud.
Arien Valar Yesterday at 4:33 PM
i think i know at least one being who would be like a hound after
that
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:34 PM
From my reading of The Hobbit, it seems that Smaug, at
least, just like to sleep o his hoard...he did not "fire up" in
his own dwelling, so to speak.
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:35 PM
He still must've given some awful body heat.
But perhaps not to melt gold.
And while making a chainmail vest out of the many lesser rings of
power sounds interesting, don't you need to break the rings for
that? [Note: no. Use interlocking non-powered rings between
them.]
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:35 PM
How do any of you believe that dragons - in general - create their
fire?
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:36 PM
I've seen various theories. Swamp dragons in the Discworld are
basically an alchemical factory which they ignite near the
nostrils as it flares out... and they tend to explode half the
time anyway.
If the fire is actually inside them, they must quite resistent
innards.

Irmo Yesterday at 4:36 PM
I have to go folks, it was good to see yall again, albeit for a
short time
Eonwλ Valar Yesterday at 4:37 PM
Take care Irmo.
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:37 PM
Namarie!
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:37 PM
That is what I am thinking too...the body temperature of a
dragon may not need to be too high, when they are not generating
any fire.
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:37 PM
Heh, I've been watching some Rayman: Origins videos agan lately,
and one bossfight is within a dragon's stomach where you have to
dodge the fire
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:37 PM

Light up gas coming out of the mouth from the belly? (Thinking of

Varda Yesterday at 4:40 PM
So make a spark with the teeth vs the outgoing gas maybe?
[4:41 PM]
Maybe flint and steel on fang caps instead of gold fillings?
[4:41 PM]
What's your idea, Sandalf?
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:42 PM
flint fang caps sounds good
Varda Yesterday at 4:42 PM
Then there are dragon stories with cold breath and acid breath. :
)
[4:43 PM]
Dragons, could be another theme or added in a mash-up.
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:44 PM
Hmmhm, in some Warcraft installments too. Acid for the greens, ice
for blue, magma for black, I think.
Honestly, when it comes to dragons and their abilities, "magic" is
often the answer

Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:45 PM
Igniting a fireball from a ball of gas is one thing. But how do
you create ice breath?
Varda Yesterday at 4:46 PM
Playing with plasma.
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:46 PM
I am at a loss...I always assumed, probably wrongly, that a dragon
produces fire at need, using elements available in his/her stomach
system. Not something they do all the time, as has been pointed
out, that would make for a pretty tough stomach. I envision
them making the ingredients in the stomach, passing them upwards,
somehow, and igniting the gases on the way out....anyway...
Eonwλ Valar Yesterday at 4:47 PM
If insects can do it, why not dragons.
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:50 PM
Insects breathe fire?
Eonwλ Valar Yesterday at 4:51 PM
I remember some insect that shoots something akin to napalm.
Trying to remember what it was.
[4:53 PM]
I might be misremembering what it was likened to.
[4:54 PM]
Bombardier beetle gets close though:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_beetle
Bombardier beetle
Bombardier beetles are ground beetles
(Carabidae) in the tribes Brachinini, Paussini, Ozaenini, or
Metriinimore than 500 species altogetherwhich are most notable
for the defense mechanism that gives them their name: when
disturbed, they eject a hot noxious chemical spray from the tip of
the abdomen with a popping sound.
The spray is produced f...
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:55 PM
Two chambers with different ingredients, produce a reaction when
mixed. That works too.
Arien Valar Yesterday at 4:55 PM
fire for red you forgot , Phari
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:55 PM
Ah...so my hypothesis may not be so far off the mark!
Fire when ready, Gridley!
Varda Yesterday at 4:56 PM
If cows can have chambers of a sort, then hmm. : )
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 4:56 PM
Ah, true, Arien
Varda Yesterday at 4:57 PM
Firestriker. Magnesium. So many fun thoughts.
[4:58 PM]
Godzilla : )
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:58 PM
I personally like Sodium (Na)...it burns ferociously in the
presence of oxygen.
Varda Yesterday at 4:58 PM
Good one. : )
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 4:59 PM
And it is the 6th most abundant element in the Earth's
crust...readily available.
Varda Yesterday at 4:59 PM
Tremors: natural sodium ignited. : )
[5:00 PM]
Could be that dragons like to be near oceans, salt domes.
[5:00 PM]
I have to go, so...
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 5:00 PM
Can't blame em, I like salt :)

After-meeting!
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 5:04 PM
I have a funny story for you. When I first tried to set up my
Gmail account, I had to create a new user i.d. Being a geologist,
I naturally thought I could come up with something unique...The
eight most abundant elements in the Earth's crust are, in order, O
- Si - Al - Fe - Ca - Na - K - Mg.
Oxygen-silicon-aluminum-iron-calcium-sodium-magnesium. I
tried "Osial" - it was already taken! Tried Sialfe - already
taken! I tried Alfecanak - it was already taken. Obviously, there
were some geochemists thinking along the same lines that I was. My
i.d. became Fecanak1, and that is what it remains to this day, at
least on Gmail. Of course, as a friend said, it does have a rather
unfortunate sound to it
[5:05 PM]
Some of those names sound almost elvish. He he.
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 5:06 PM
Heh, yes... you're never as original as you think
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 5:06 PM
You are right again, Ar.
Arien Valar Yesterday at 5:07 PM
what is K? Na is Natrium if i remember right
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 5:07 PM
potassium
[5:07 PM]
also known as Kalium
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 5:07 PM
"Na" is sodium. K is potassium. Sorry - I forgot potassium in my
story above.
Arien Valar Yesterday at 5:08 PM
oh right different names ^^#
[5:08 PM]
thankies .. one never stops learning
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 5:09 PM
Like Pb for "lead." From the Latin for lead: plumbum
Arien Valar Yesterday at 5:09 PM
yup that makes sense
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 5:09 PM
In Dutch they are natrium and kalium.
[5:09 PM]
So the symbols make more sense
That doesn't work for plumbum though!
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 5:09 PM
I believe that the Dutch terms are based on the original Latin
names...
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 5:10 PM
we're purists?
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 5:10 PM
Ya sure, ya betcha!
[5:11 PM]
An expression from the northwestern U.S. for "absolutely!" It is a
contraction of "you are sure, I bet."
[5:12 PM]
Or alternatively, "It sure is!"
[5:17 PM]
I suspect that Dutch uses something like "lead" as it is a very
Proto-Germanic word.
[5:18 PM]
In German, the root for "lead" is Blei...the lei could come from
the PG base word.
[5:19 PM]
There is a very famous Yiddish poem called "Di Blayene Platen Fun
Der Roms Drucherei." A very tragic poem, written during WWII.
r-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 5:20 PM
Oh, yes, we use "lood", though you'd pronounce it "load".
Arien Valar Yesterday at 5:33 PM
time to retract into the hall of dreams
[5:33 PM]
Namarie all
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 5:33 PM
namarie!
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 5:34 PM
Yes..time for me to go to the Library and do some research on
Immanuel Kant for the Introduction to my book on Tolkien. Varda
asked me to include my thoughts on some influences on Tolkien's
writing in the introduction....so I am. I believe Kant was a big
influence. Sei gesund, all! Namarie!
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 5:34 PM
Namarie, good luck
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 5:35 PM
Thanks, as always.
Arien Valar Yesterday at 5:35 PM
have fun with that . Namarie

Personal gaming report!
[8:28 PM]
For (non)flashgaming, we actually have a new game this week! A
badge we hadn't seen before on kongregate.
[8:30 PM]
https://www.kongregate.com/games/Kiddo_Victor/light-wanderer
is an interesting platformer where you find a flashlight, use it
light your way across dark tunnels - without falling into the lava
or getting hit by fireballs, later in the game - and throw the
light ahead of you to scout ahead, or throw it at certain anchor
points where you can use it to make platforms.
Kongregate
Light Wanderer
An innovative platformer where your flashlight
lights your way and can be used as a platform!
Check Out my most recent game
https://www.kongregate.com/games/...
[8:30 PM]
Not too difficult, but a fun few levels
[8:31 PM]
And after you complete it, you unlock light mode, where all the
levels are lit up instead, making it rather faster to get around.

Sandalf13 Yesterday at 8:41 PM
HAllo Ar! I just got back from the Eiseley Branch Library. Thank
you for your report that I will now read. As I said earlier, I
hope you get some good results from your job search. Take care,
and sei gesund!
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 8:41 PM
Heh, ok Not done yet though
Sandalf13 Yesterday at 8:42 PM
I know...I just wanted you to know that I was here admiring your
artful handiwork.
Ar-Pharazon-V Yesterday at 8:56 PM
Hearthstone:
69 on the reward track now. Feels like it's slowing down.
[8:56 PM]
I did manage the 5 wins for this month, though, getting the Fire
Plume card back.
[8:58 PM]
Some battleground event quests arrived, requiring you to play and
win battlegrounds for battleground-only rewards. As I don't like
battlegrounds and prefer to avoid them, I'm not bothering. I did
watch a few friends play, though, including Fladrif, and the luck
and improv that goes into it makes me glad I'm not doing it
[9:01 PM]
I did do the brawl, though, which is a special one vs an AI deck,
led by Wicked Prince Kael'thas of the Dark Flight, and you have to
stop him with a choice of 4 classes/decks/magical girl themes. He
starts with an advantage, but you get spell cards which allow you
do discover a spell which can be played at 0 cost. And with some
luck and the right spell usage, it's not that hard It
doesn't matter which one you choose for the free pack and the 5
brawl weekly quest, but I think I'll try winning with all 4
anyway.
WoW:
[9:02 PM]
With a bit more practice and a bit more gear, we actually managed
to take down the Jailer on normal Fated difficulty, with some time
to spare even in the fight.
[9:03 PM]
So slimesaber mounts for us! Well, about half of us (including
me!), a bunch of our group have missed some bosses over the weeks.
So our goal will be to target those specifically for people who
are around for the raid at the time
[9:04 PM]
We'll also poke heroic some more, but the main goal has been
achieved or close to it for some.
[9:05 PM]
With some heroic bosses down we did get a heroic fated item from
the vault again, which for me was a pretty good feral trinket.
Which means both trinkets are set. Would be nice to get some tanky
ones upgraded though.
[9:06 PM]
In any case, it means I've got a Jigglesworth Sr. mount A
green slimecat which I'm also using on my poison rogue, fitting
his green theme.
Weekly is timewalks, which I've poked all 5 of, but only got a
cloak which I'd already had better of, so eh.
[9:07 PM]
For anima, I bought a prairie dog soulshape from a vendor in
Ardenweald. Only one to go for 20k anima, and then I'll be done
with all of that.
[9:08 PM]
An in-game friend of mine stopped playing after 10 years, alas,
having burned out on WoW and no longer wishing to give money to
Blizzard after all that's happened. I still see him on Discord
and, actually, in Hearthstone, so there's still contact, but it's
unlikely we'll see him back in-game any time soon, including
Dragonflight.
[9:10 PM]
I took over some stuff from him as he cleaned out alts and banks
and sent stuff to various people, and he gave me 9 new pets from
the TCG set. Not sure if he got them from the cards or the BMAH, I
suspect the latter.
In any case, I named the 9 pets in his naming style, so if he
comes back, he can have them again. In the meantime, they're in my
roster!
Tuskarr Kite, Nightsaber Cub, Sand Scarab, Purple Puffer, Spectral
Tiger Cub, Landro's Lichling, Gusting Grimoire, Gregarious Grell,
and Eye of the Legion.
[9:11 PM]
So yes, quite a set.
[9:14 PM]
For alts, I continued with the rogue. Alas, he has not quite made
it to Maldraxxus yet, with about half a dozen quests to go. Which
means he is, in fact, facing Maldraxxus troops in Bastion.
[9:15 PM]
But he did just get to level 54, after starting the week at 51. 54
gives a new poison which slows down enemy attack and casting
speed, apparently. That should really help with his survivability!
[9:16 PM]
And that's my report for the week!
