ALES & TALES (every Monday!)

[Ruthelia]

*sigh*

Another Ales and Tales missed! Confound it all. I've been sick, I have an excuse.

But I miss you all

Next week I am going to be on a plane at that time. Aaaaugh! The week after. I swear!

Indeed, i missed it too. And i heard it was one of the best yet

You can have it almost your whole screen but still have access to your desktop.

I can already access my desktop with <alt-tab> while playing in full screen mode, but if I do that while playing music I can't hear it so it makes the timing a bit dicey. Do you play windowed mode while participating in raids? I'm a bit dubious about that, particularly as a minstrel.

It never runs well in windowed mode for me, personally, and I don't really know why. It doesn't work that well when I window in and out using alt+tab, either. Seems as though there is always a chance that the program will crash. Luckily I generally don't do anything that requires that I tab in and out of the program repeatedly.

Anyway, my point is that windowed mode seems dicey - I'm not sure if that's just my experience. I would never really trust it while in a instance/raid - I can't afford to have it lag, crash, skip, etc.

Yes, I raid in windowed mode too (as minstrel level 60 in Moria) and never had a problem due to windowed mode. Also, in order to hear when out of the window I just open up LOTRO Midi Player, and can hear discussion and any game sounds no matter what I do on the desktop. My rig is not the perfect high-end gaming machine either. Also play windowed on my laptop as well.

One thing I make sure to do religiously is a weekly defrag.

Do you say a prayer when you do it, or just light a candle and have a little chant?

Third week in a row I won't be able to attend... *sigh*

Well, if my flight gets delayed I will be on from the airport, I suppose. Ha!

[Fionnuala]

Third week in a row I won't be able to attend... *sigh*

Well, if my flight gets delayed I will be on from the airport, I suppose. Ha!

Perhaps you could tell us a tall tale about a flight that didn't get delayed?

[Valaraen]

Perhaps you could tell us a tall tale about a flight that didn't get delayed?

Well, it'd be a whale of a tale. Though, I'm not seeing any reasons for the flight to be delayed. Here's hoping.

[Harperelle]

This week Ales and Tales was at Michel Delving at the Bird and Baby. We had a great turnout, with Galenswerd, Harperella, Javelarry, Belindriel, Falibrand, Meribuc, Ashenwoods, Lyondardo, Omsi, Diamiond, Kaleigh, Keptwise, Macalaure, Tarnorili, and Grabesh in attendance. (Apologies if I missed anyone) Tarnorili told some jokes, Javelarry told the tale of a very hungry hobbit, and Lyonardo told a story of the big one that got away. Of course, there was plenty of ale to go around, and Old Winyards seemed quite popular with the crowd, as more and more drunken cheers to "Old Winyards!" periodically made the rounds.

We had some great music as well, with Keptwise, Macalaure, Omsi, Ashenwoods and Diamiond putting in great performances in the band, as well as solo pieces by Ashenwoods, Belindriel, Galenswerd, and Harperella.

Next week we have a Ales and Tales first--we will be meeting at the Prancing Pony! See you there!

--Harperella

[Greenhand]

Oh, sure, sure, forget only the best-looking Hobbit in attendance. The one whose handsome face and hairy feet had the girls swooning left and right. Oh wait, that was in the dream I had last night. I wondered why Pervinca Took...well, nevermind. One word: Winterberry Ale. Okay, that was two words, but you get my point. I think.

I certainly showed the boys in the band a few new licks on lute that they'd never seen before. (I spilt some Winterberry Ale on it and that was the only way I knew to get it off.)

Fun times.

OLD WINYARDS!!!

Ales and Tales will be held this week in Bree at the Prancing Pony. Many are bound to find adventure and fame eastward in dim Mirkwood, so this week we are looking for tales of adventure and heroism. See you there at 1030 EST.

Ales and Tales
We had a great turnout for Ales and Tales last night. Here are a few of the characters who showed up:
Ashenwoods, Beacher, Olyver, Forthogar, Elwea, Jerett, Eleowen, Sophronia, Meadolarke, Lyonardo, Mordagan, Algrogo, Meribuc, Javelarry, Decatur, Tarnorili, Astleigh, Keptwise, Thored, Kayleigh, Sayenith, Kadren, Diamiond, Valararaein, Omsi, Saerwena, Eitheliell, Aralinne, Alerik, Mapleros, Haydyn, Sommer, Sammus, and apologies if I missed anyone!

First we had a tune from Omsi the Dwarf and a bit of dance. Master Keptwise and company put on some great dance tunes. Tarnolili told a dwarven joke (at the expense of the elves). Thored recited an ancient poem of Khazad Dum. Beacher told a fairy tale. Harperella recited a poem about the Silithar. Finally, we rounded out the night with a great rendition of the Breetown Blues and a round of hearty toasts!

In the end, we left the pub for some adventuring. Rochsul the captain had last ended up drunk at the top of the giant's needle. We all joined him in the Misty Mountains, then had to figure out how to get down again. Finally we all jumped. There was only one casualty--Omsi the dwarf. It seems that Thored had landed on his head.

Good luck in Mirkwood everyone, and next weeks Ales and Tales is in Gondamon!

--Harperella

*claps*

These nights is gettin' a bit crowded these days, but still cozy. An' good!

[Valaraen]

Ahh, not only were there ales, but there were also tales!

[Valaraen]

[Ruthelia]

Did you do something to those screenshots Val? They're really good looking.

Do the tweens back in The Shire know that Lyonardo was there dancing with Harp and all those other ladies?! Better not tell them, they'll be heart-broken. And if you're ever wondering what some bloke named 'Santa Clause' does in his spare time, just look at the stage.

[Valaraen]

Did you do something to those screenshots Val? They're really good looking.

Nope, didn't do anything to them at all Thanks!

[Dago_Red]

Did you do something to those screenshots Val? They're really good looking.

Ye's just seein' me in 'em is all Beardy.
