[4:01 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Aiya!
[4:01 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: And I think that's the second song wherein Zendaya plays a role I've heard this week.
[4:01 PM]Léod: Allo!
[4:01 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Aiya!
[4:01 PM]Eönwë Valar: Haven't heard anything from Varda and don't remember any word of her going somewhere. Did I forget or am I right?

[4:03 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Arien poked.
[4:04 PM]Eönwë Valar: @Bounder Meeting beginning shortly
[4:04 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Though deep in the hearrrrt of Texas no weather and power emergency surprises me anymore, so something might have happened.
[4:04 PM]Sandalf13: Bad weather in that neck of the woods.
[4:04 PM]Arien Valar: Aiya folks
[4:04 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Aiya!
[4:05 PM]Sandalf13: Aiya Arien!
[4:06 PM]Eönwë Valar: Ok, so give me a couple of minutes and we'll begin.
[4:06 PM]Eönwë Valar: Today's secret word is "potatoes" Whenever someone says "potatoes", you scream real loud, alright?
[4:06 PM]Arien Valar: tatties!
[4:06 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: What's taters, precious?
[4:08 PM]Eönwë Valar: In case you don't get it: YouTube: Pee Wee's Playhouse Conky word of the Day - (1986).mpg
[4:08 PM]Arien Valar: actually she asked me last week to chair today 's meeting as she is on the road somewhere .. oh yeah at a family get together
[4:09 PM]Arien Valar: she wasnt sure whether she was away but obviously she is
[4:09 PM]Arien Valar: but happy to leave the gavel to Eonwe
[4:15 PM]Eönwë Valar: OK, Let's get this show on the road.
[4:15 PM]Sandalf13: Thanks for the update...
[4:15 PM]Eönwë Valar: Thanks for the update, Arien.
[4:15 PM]Sandalf13: ? Did you read my mind, or something like that?
[4:16 PM]Eönwë Valar: Only the Cliff's Notes.
[4:16 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Cliffnotes are perfect for a geologist.
[4:16 PM]Eönwë Valar: Elen Sila Lumenn Omentielvo!
[4:17 PM]Sandalf13: I used them all the time...
[4:17 PM]Eönwë Valar: Membership:

[4:17 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: screams loudly

[4:17 PM]Léod: SCREAM!
[4:17 PM]Léod:

[4:18 PM]Eönwë Valar: :}
[4:18 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Potato tomato!
[4:18 PM]Sandalf13: Potatoes...Taters...French Fries...whatee
[4:18 PM]Sandalf13: whateer 4:18 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Actually had fried potatoes in my japanese course a couple of weeks back.
[4:18 PM]Arien Valar: scrreaam
[4:18 PM]Sandalf13: And I am not growing taters in my garden...only tomaters...
@Ar-Pharazon-V
Potato tomato!
[4:19 PM]Léod: I see what you did there.
[4:19 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Furaidopoteto!
[4:19 PM]Eönwë Valar: Ok, so I've got Phar, Leod, Sandalf, Arien, and Eonwë for attendance.

[4:28 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: I'm full of songs today.
[4:28 PM]Eönwë Valar: heh
[4:28 PM]Eönwë Valar: And you pulled a Jimmy Buffet song out of your repertoire. Nice.
[4:28 PM]Léod: Yes, you are! Keep going!
[4:29 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: :)
[4:29 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: As with so many things, I admit I only first heard of him through South Park.
[4:29 PM]Eönwë Valar: hehe
[4:29 PM]Sandalf13: Good old Jimmy Buffet...turns out he was a relative of Warren Buffet
[4:30 PM]Eönwë Valar: Any other gaming news? Now's a good time to be considering Tolkien topics too.
[4:31 PM]Eönwë Valar: Or i'll just have Phar sing "Into the West", lol.
[4:31 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: grin
[4:31 PM]Sandalf13: YouTube: The Song of Eärendil (Part I) - Clamavi De Profundis
[4:32 PM]Léod: I heard there there will be new legendary servers coming online in LoTRO, but I can't remember when. THey will be a bit different though.
[4:32 PM]Sandalf13: Talk about going into the West...
[4:33 PM]Léod: Massively Overpowered: LOTRO Legendarium: LOTRO announces its next legendary servers, Angm...
[4:33 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: gotta link YouTube: LOTR Into The West End Credits now because someone has to
[4:35 PM]Eönwë Valar: After a quick look at that link, I'll say it sounds interesting.
[4:35 PM]Léod: I agree. I haven't been interested in legendary servers at all until now.
[4:36 PM]Eönwë Valar: Of course, if all twelve of the ring-bearers go offline for the 10-day period they have the rings, I guess everyone is doomed, lol.
[4:37 PM]Léod: Well, if there are more than 50 players, mayyyyybe not?
[4:38 PM]Eönwë Valar: I guess it depends on how strong the Nazgul are in game. Are they unbeatable without those players present, or is it just really really difficult?
[4:38 PM]Léod: I guess we'll know soon, the servers come available sometime in July!
[4:38 PM]Eönwë Valar: Still, I'd say it's an interesting spin.
[4:39 PM]Léod: Yep!
[4:40 PM]Eönwë Valar: Ok, I guess there's no more gaming news, so...
[4:40 PM]Eönwë Valar: Tolkien:
[4:40 PM]Eönwë Valar: Hands Phar a microphone Get to it!
[4:40 PM]Sandalf13: Does Ar have a topic in mind?
[4:41 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: What can you seeeee ♪
[4:41 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: On The HoRIzoooon
[4:41 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Why does Eonwe call ♪
[4:41 PM]Eönwë Valar: Lol.
[4:41 PM]Eönwë Valar: Bravo! Now if anyone has a Tolkien topic, you can save Phar from singing more :}
[4:42 PM]Arien Valar: were there any sports in Middle EArth?
[4:42 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Golf!
[4:42 PM]Sandalf13: I have an idea...
[4:42 PM]Eönwë Valar: There we go, Arien's Topic: Were there any sports in Middle-Earth?
[4:42 PM]Arien Valar: golf
[4:42 PM]Sandalf13: Tolkien spent a lot of time on his various genealogies, and they are so complex and interrelated. What came first? His genealogies, or his writing?
[4:42 PM]Arien Valar: there was golf among the hobbits
[4:43 PM]Sandalf13: OK...golf then.
[4:43 PM]Eönwë Valar: Puts Sandalf's topic in the queue
[4:44 PM]Eönwë Valar: Ok, so sports: Golf. Nice little story that goes along with its creation.
[4:44 PM]Eönwë Valar: Did we want to give the short version of that story?
[4:44 PM]Sandalf13: A Geologic Note of some import: Golf was developed in Scotland, in the glacial topography of the land. The BEST golf courses are built on formerly glacial lands...lots of potholes, kettle lakes, occasional sand dunes, eskers, morraines, and so on...just thought you should know. This is something geologists pay attention to.
[4:45 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: All it's missing is conveniently sized holes!
[4:45 PM]Eönwë Valar: Sandalf's geologic note makes me think of Robin William's bit on the invention of golf. Definitely not appropriate for linking here, heh.
[4:47 PM]Eönwë Valar: I think we've given the story of the invention of Golf in Middle-Earth a couple of times, so I won't give it this time :}
[4:47 PM]Eönwë Valar: Other sports:
[4:48 PM]Sandalf13: There it is...proof.
[4:48 PM]Eönwë Valar: Wrestling. Not WWF/WWE. More like olympic wrestling. In BoLT Tulkas went to Makar's and Meassë's halls to join in the wrestling matches amongst their people. They weren't happy about it because he always won.
[4:49 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Nobody likes a show-off.
[4:49 PM]Eönwë Valar: heh
[4:49 PM]Sandalf13: Especially a Vala showoff.
[4:50 PM]Léod: LOL
[4:50 PM]Arien Valar: ((unfortunately Scotland is out of the EC ))
[4:51 PM]Eönwë Valar: Racing (again, not NASCAR, more like track and field, sprinting, stuff like that). We know Galadriel was quite the racer.
[4:51 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: https://valarguild.org/tolkien/encyc/art/gallery/ArPharazon/NumenoreanBoatJousting.jpg I'll just put this here.
[4:51 PM]Arien Valar: hobbit kids might have been racing at all
[4:51 PM]Eönwë Valar: hehe
[4:52 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: I think archery was a sport among hobbits, at least.
[4:52 PM]Léod: Throwing stones?
[4:52 PM]Léod: More like a pasttime?
[4:52 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Well, that also. But they did have archers.
[4:52 PM]Eönwë Valar: I can see various boat sports for the Numenoreans..
[4:52 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Hunting might be a bit of a sport.
[4:52 PM]Arien Valar: like cherrt stibe spitting
[4:53 PM]Eönwë Valar: I think Archery would've been a general sport amongst all the races. It's a valuable skill.
[4:53 PM]Arien Valar: like cherry stone spitting
[4:53 PM]Léod: I have a hard time believing men didn't race horses, but I don't have a quote.
[4:53 PM]Sandalf13: Just as swod-fighting can be both a sport AND a life-saving defense.
[4:53 PM]Arien Valar: Rohan i think would have horse races
[4:53 PM]Arien Valar: and maybe sometrhing like polo
@Arien Valar[4:53 PM]Léod: That's what I thought.
[4:54 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Rohan, yeah. Vast fields, lots of horses, and pride in their quality/skills.
[4:54 PM]Arien Valar: you know like golf on horses ^^
[4:54 PM]Eönwë Valar: Leod, I suspect the quote you might be thinking of involves the Numenoreans and their preference for things that showcase the bond between horse and rider more than speed.
[4:54 PM]Léod: They probably practiced something like a joust, since they did have lances.
[4:54 PM]Arien Valar: or more like shinty on hoses i guess ...
[4:54 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: So like dressage?
[4:55 PM]Arien Valar:
[4:55 PM]Eönwë Valar: Heh, maybe.
[4:55 PM]Sandalf13: I think that the riders of Rohan would have practiced the old Annie Oakley routine of shooting their arrows at a target while riding by on a horse...see if they could hit the target.
[4:56 PM]Léod: That's what I was going to say.... I couldn't think of the word and had to ask for help.
[4:56 PM]Eönwë Valar: But yeah, if the Rohirrim didn't have various sports involving riding horse while doing other stuff I'd be surprised.
[4:56 PM]Eönwë Valar: Agreed, Sandalf.
[4:56 PM]Arien Valar: maybe though who knows although i suspect that the Rohirrim would have more horsey sport that hones warrior skills as well
[4:56 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Didn't the mongols have horseback archery?
@Sandalf13[4:56 PM]Léod: Or Mongol routine. They were known for the deadliness of their horse archers.
[4:56 PM]Eönwë Valar: Many cultures did.
[4:56 PM]Léod: LOL Stop it!
[4:57 PM]Léod: :)
[4:57 PM]Eönwë Valar: Some better know for it than others, of course.
[4:57 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Your brain is miiine...
[4:57 PM]Sandalf13: YouTube: Annie Oakley - Annie and the Brass Collar
[4:57 PM]Léod: LOL!
[4:57 PM]Sandalf13: Watch the first 2.5 minutes or so...
[4:57 PM]Eönwë Valar: Is that my Weekly Western, Sandalf?
[4:59 PM]Arien Valar: hehe the Persian riders became very dangerous as they learned what is known today as Parthian shot which involved the ability to turn around in full gallop with the upper body and shoot the bow at enemies riding behind them
[4:59 PM]Eönwë Valar: I'd add spear/javelin throwing to tests of accuracy as well. I recall one of the sons of Fëanor throwing one from horseback at Luthien and Beren diving into the way.
[4:59 PM]Sandalf13: Yes it is..I remmeber those old Saturday morning westerns...
[5:02 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Actually, when the hobbits invented golf, wasn't it done from horseback?
[5:02 PM]Léod: I'm afraid I have to go at 6 and therefore am already leate!
[5:02 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Namarie!
[5:02 PM]Eönwë Valar: Ok, so just a quick list of sports we've mentioned, we have: --- Golf, Wrestling, Racing, Archery/other tests of accuracy, Equestrian skills (Horsemanship), nautical prowess (boatsmanship for the Numenoreans), Swordsmanship ---
[5:02 PM]Eönwë Valar: Take care Leod. Glad you got to stop in.
[5:02 PM]Léod: Goodbye! Me too!
[5:03 PM]Arien Valar: Namarie
[5:03 PM]Eönwë Valar: Did I miss any and can we think of others?
[5:03 PM]Sandalf13: I must leave too...got a party to go to later, must get ready.
[5:03 PM]Sandalf13: Namarie, until later!!!
[5:03 PM]Eönwë Valar: Take care Sandalf. We'll put your topic on the queue for next week.
[5:04 PM]Sandalf13: Thanks!
[5:04 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Namarie!
Eönwë Valar pinned a message to this channel. — 06/23/2024 5:04 PM
[5:05 PM]Arien Valar: Namarie Sandalf and have fun]
[5:06 PM]Arien Valar: it is getting bed time for me too i fear
[5:06 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Namarie Arien!
[5:07 PM]Eönwë Valar: Ok, I guess now's a good time to bang the gavel then.
[5:07 PM]Eönwë Valar: Bangs gavel
[5:07 PM]Eönwë Valar: Aftermeeting:
[5:07 PM]Arien Valar: Namarie!
[5:07 PM]Eönwë Valar: Take care Arien.
[7:20 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Personal gaming report!
[7:21 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: For (non)flashgaming, a new one this week: Kongregate: AntiVillain
[7:22 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Made by the person who also produced the Medieval Cop series, of which I've linked episodes in the distant past, this one is based on a person who decides to become a villain, after his girlfriend leaves him to become a super hero.
[7:23 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: While the other series focuses more on puzzles and mystery-solving, this one has rpg-like combat, where each attack has a bit of a minigame attached to execute it properly.
[7:25 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: This is a short first version, and apparently successful enough to spawn at least one sequel on kongregate, perhaps more can be found on other websites.
[7:25 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: So if you enjoy it, go looking And if you don't, well, at least this one's not very long
[7:28 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Blizzard gaming:
[7:30 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Diablo 4: Logged my new seasonal character, who fought in a helltide for a bit for the seasonal questline, finding pieces of a medallion which he then brought to the Iron Wolves encampment, as an introduction to the quests. The rest of the quests revolve around getting an honor rank with the Wolves and then doing a quest for them.
[7:31 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: He's made it to level 7 so far, it's a start
[7:32 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Oh, and I got a free piece of loot from the store as well, the Bloodpetal Grimoire, giving weapon appearances.
[7:34 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Hearthstone: Level 139 on the reward track now. Got a few more weeks to get more levels there, as the new expansion with new track comes around in about a month.
[7:35 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: One card, Marin the Manager, is already available for free on logging in.
[7:35 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: A new quest event will start in a few days, for the Midsummer Fire Festival. Not sure how long we'll have for that, we'll see
[7:36 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Brawl is 'Servant of Yogg-Saron' Tryouts: choose a class, get a bunch of random minions who cast random spells when played. As usual, a lot of luck and randomness
[7:38 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Warcraft Rumble: No new collection level yet.
[7:39 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: In the undead dungeon week, managed to get levels 20 and 21 done with Rivendare, with just one level to go.
[7:39 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: In the new beast week, however, I've been struggling with Hogger at level 17. Probably just need the right relics
[7:41 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: In the heroic sigil campaign, completed Duskwood at last, getting to 90 sigils. That unlocked sieges and raids, though I've not had the opportunity to try them out as they require 2 players.
[7:42 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: I've also started on Stranglethorn, completing Jin'do the Hexxer with all 5 families, and Mukla with alliance. The heroic mechanics are starting to get a bit annoying here: Jin'do frequently polymorphs your minis into chickens, which don't actually seem to damage him, and Mukla's bananas now de-level your own minis. Luckily, I still outlevel these fights quite a bit.
[7:45 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: I've gotten more quality upgrades, getting the alliance leader Maiev as well as the Defias Bandits to uncommon quality; I've also gotten talents for the Earth and Moon spell, the Stonehoof Tauren and Maiev.
[7:46 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: My new policy is to use the big red buttons to find something new every time I hit 4000 gold, buying green upgrade deals even for those who are already uncommon, and after I run out of buttons I'll just buy single upgrades for the lowest mini on the board. It'll be slow going to get my minis further upgraded but hey, if deals only show up now and then, gotta use the gold somehow!
[7:47 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: WoW:
[7:48 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: More raiding, getting a few late kills in the Amirdrassil raid, after we used a shortcut. Two of us got our full heroic awakened achievements that way: Me with Tindral Sageswift, and another with Smolderon, so that's 2 more with the Awakened Hero title! We'll see what people are lacking next.
[7:50 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: With the weekly quest for 4 mythic dungeons I also got enough bullions to buy weapon and necklace, which I've also been upgrading with flightstones and dragon's crests, and I'm now only 40 flightstones away from reaching full 515 ilevel, which is the heroic max.
[7:51 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: For the Midsummer Festival, I've been fighting Ahune and collecting fire blossoms from the bonfires all over the game.
[7:52 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: For the new dragon customization from Ahune you only have one chance per day per account, so no more need to send in alts, but the droprate increases for you every time you don't get it. So hopefully the length of the festival should be enough to get it
[7:53 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: There's also 2 new appearance pieces for a total of 700 blossoms, so in the past few days I've been gathering them all from Kalimdor, the Eastern Kingdoms and Outland, and am now sitting at over 600. Won't be long now, with plenty of continents remaining
[7:54 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Other than that, more alting!
[7:55 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Continued Calkin's quest to unlock the Vulpera, helping out a vulpera in the Twilight Highlands with an orc worker strike. Apparently a single feast, some meaningless promotions and beating up their leader in combat was enough to end the strike. But we've started to show the worth of the Vulpera race to the horde, and next up will be the Zandalar part :)
[7:56 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: And Calvirona, the time runner... she's been busy!
[7:58 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: She got the Cloud Serpent reputation to exalted, completed the Valley of the Four Winds quests by helping out in Stoneplow, training with the Hidden Master, and aiding Nesingwary in his safari, before finishing the zone by exploring everything, taking down some rare mobs and finding enough hidden treasures.
[7:59 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: As rewards she's gotten the Halfhill Farmer's Backpack cloak appearance (with a chicken on top!), 4 toys that display the 4 Celestials' wing effects on your cloak, and the final achievement for cloak threads: 4200.
[8:00 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Which in turn boosted not only any future timerunners cloaks, but also her own, getting her experience gain to 100%.
[8:03 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: After that she headed over to the Krasarang Wilds, helping out Zhu's Watch and collecting the hidden treasure along the way, before helping an alliance expedition to clear some mogu from a ruin and find the Pools of Youth, and helping Chi-Ji the Red Crane in his temple, defeating the Sha of Despair and its forces.
[8:03 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: She's also gotten from level 56 to 64, only 6 more levels to go!
[8:04 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: At 70 all these stats will finally stop scaling down and she should only see her power increase from there
[8:04 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: And that's my report for the week!
[8:06 PM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Namarie :)
June 27, 2024
[1:37 AM]Eönwë Valar: Aurast bought all her collectibles, so now she's ready for summer. It's all a breeze from here. World of Warcraft: Aurast - Character - WoW - Aurast (Lothar) ❮Valar Guild❯ - 70 Lightforged Draenei Retribution Paladin, 476 ilvl
[1:39 AM]Eönwë Valar: Now just gotta power up to see if I can get to a point to solo Heroic Throne of Thunder.
[2:52 AM]Eönwë Valar: You probably can't tell what she's got on her back, so here's a pic with a different angle. She's a murloc mama :}
Thus ends this week's meeting. Come back and see us next week!
