I'll be around intermittently throughout tomorrow and in the afternoon/evening (US time) on Sunday.

I would be available during Sunday afternoon/evening/even night my time (now, it is about half past midnight for me) - if we agree upon something, and I could possibly even be able to make myself available during US-time evening, if it is convenient for people. Then I assume for us on European time (meaning probably me and Eönwë) the earlier is better, so maybe if we could agree on something US-afternoon-ish when we could be there in larger numbers (I think this would depend on Eönwë's preferences, since for me, like I said, the hour does not matter that much on this particular day).

Haven't yet visited the game since the festivities started, but I assume it could be nice to do some random festival-activities and then we could even spend some time drinking and running all over the place, visiting different sites (especially if the festival takes place in different sites simultaneously, as it often does?) - possibly we could even connect this to making a tour of some peoples' houses? (I still haven't done my house-warming party. Not that there is anything great to see in that tiny place. )

Is anyone joining the Ale Association instead of the Inn League? Or going for a bit of both?

I am totally Inn League, since I already started it. Unless I wanted Gimifril to join the Ale Association. Which I could, in fact, since he's a Dwarf, and just for the sake of variety.

Only a week left until our mighty kinship qualifies for a kinhouse! With the Christmas season not a lot of us have time for the game now, but we can get it set up soon and then we can have a housewarming party and then dance the night away with Tom Bombadil.

I visited the Shire Homesteads and love them. 2 Chalk Road is the closest to the entrance and the main neighborhood center, 4 Brookbank Street is a bit further but you can see a waterfall. I think I want to move to 1 Wending Way myself, so nice. The nearness to Michel Delving is very convenient as all the training and crafting and etc. are in one small area instead of scattered around.


I've been thinking of a second name for my lvl23 elven champion, Maelusalph. "Lustful Soup" enjoys prospecting, woodcrafting and weaponsmithing, and dislikes trying to get bloodstains out of his favorite dress. He's in a different kin but I may move him later.


Tariancthîr - Obstinate Face

Hwiniolthir - Fantastic Face

Deluthir - Deadly Face

Delulebed - Deadly Finger

Raunthir - Deviant Face

Deluraunthir - Deadly Deviant Face

Deluglamthir - Deadly Yelling Face

Glamdeluraunthir - Yelling Deviant Deadly Face

Delueirien - Deadly Daisy

Rhosseirien - Rustling Daisy

Glamthir - Yelling Face

Glamraun - Yelling Deviant

Alaglebed - Quick Finger

Adlanthîwnif - Oblique Sticky Face

Thirmaethor - Face Warrior

Ben-Raun - According to the Deviant

Ben-Rauncerthas - According to the Deviant Alphabet

Puiathir - Spit (on) Face

Gonodeirien - Counting Daisies

Gorothnif - Horror Face

Pendrath-na-Menel - Stairway to Heaven


Any scholars of Sindarin will be shuddering in horror I'm sure, I just picked amusing words out of the dictionary at councilofelrond.com.

I'm probably going to go for Deluthir, although Delueirien has personal, hilarious significance. Perhaps I'll use that one for Bruiwen.

Anyway, rambling.

Wow, really? The kinship house really took time to get... I think back then a loong time ago, we've been talking about the house just on the left side of the entrance, I think the waterfall was visible from there, I am not sure anymore where exactly it was.

I think Pendrath-na-Menel is still the best thing in Sindarin I've seen for some time, though

Yay!

Okay. So 4 Brookbank street has the best view and has my vote. It's the next lowest price at 15 gold with weekly upkeep of 300 silver. I have two gold currently, so I suppose I'm taking the collection for the initial purchase.

I was looking at Moredowns. They're all the same, but I was trying to look for one with "downs" in the title.

I have been in one for some time already (the jewellers). It definitely is worth it. I don't know what your guild offers, but given how much you have dedicated to crafting, I think you should do it.

It's not really properly furnished yet. But thanks.

It's some goooooooood stuff, maaaaaaaan. Gabiluzbad and Derndwimmer dressed up in orcish gear and high-fived each other's faces before obscuring the entire house in smoke.

All that needs to be done is to obtain some "golf fire"(heh) and then.....then it's proper foreteen twenty all up in hyah.

Er... yeah... what Oddwen said.

I've finally braved the Trallshaws and managed to get to Rivendell unscathed, though I have to say that there were many times when I thought that the MASSIVE CREATURES THAT LIVE THERE would kill me.
