Lefty Scaevola · 11-20-2002, 10:45 AM

18 and 20 are very closely related, and much of the dicussion on and speculation on strgtey and heroic warfareoverlaps. I quess I should take both the major battles. Since much of the material will be usefull to both chapter, Rather than starting a near threa for #20, we may want to revive the #18 thread when starting the #20 discussion.

Valaquenta- Rian

Elvet · 11-20-2002, 09:02 PM

Don't forget me - Chapter 24

***Rían*** · 11-20-2002, 09:05 PM

OK, I'll take Valaquenta to keep things moving, but I only have BoLT 2 and Morgoth's Ring (in addition to Hobbit, LoTR and Sil, of course!), so I'll need some help

Oh, I also have "letters", which I love to quote at great length

. Do you have it yet, SGH?

Oh, also Unfinished Tales.

Maedhros, could you edit your first post on the thread to show people's names for the chapters they have? Or can SGH, with her mighty admin powers, do this?

What a muddlehead I am Elvet. I don't know how I missed you, but you'll be up there in about 30 seconds.

Maedhros · 11-21-2002, 06:08 PM

I have updated the Chapter assignements in the first post of the thread. I will finish the calendar and post it too.
Note: I had already chosen Chapter 23 when I posted it, sorry Cirdan.

Elanor Gamgee · 11-26-2002, 06:21 AM

Sister,
Thanks for updating the assignments and putting me in. Let's see if Thingol is the greatest jerk in Middle-earth

Morgan, is that you?

Welcome to Entmoot. You are very welcome to join our little project if you wish. We could use your scholarly input.

Elanor, welcome to the project, and nice to see your back.

Elanor Gamgee · 11-26-2002, 11:01 AM

Sister, thanks for welcome! I hope you won't regret it

Morgan, being at a forum with you is joy indeed

As for Elwe, the least I can say is that with Melian being unable to leave Aman (embodied or not), and quite low competition from Humans in this world I feel quite safe. Happen what may, my soft spot for Sindar does not diminish

Sister,
Yes, for better or for worse it's me!

I would love to help with your little project. Speak, friend of Finrod and tell me that which must be done!

Don't be so sure my dear Hobbit, I believe Elwë still has a fairly significant support crew residing in Middle earth.

BTW, does that soft spot of yours happen to frequent hay stacks?!

Wonderful! All you have to do is choose one or more of the available chapters from the Silmarillion, research it along with any other texts you may have that relate to the subject of that chapter. When the time comes, you will post the intro to the discussion of that chapter, and I will stick it to the top of the main forum page. Discussion of each chapter will last approximately 3 weeks.

You can go to the main forum page and read the threads that are stuck, for further info.

Welcome aboard.

Renille · 11-27-2002, 09:57 PM

Hello! Could I do one? Could I do Turin Turambar (21)? Please? Thank you. (This looks really interesting;I'll be looking forward to the beginning!)

You sure can do one Renille, and chapter 21 is yours.

The beginning has begun. We are finishing up the Ainulindale, and Rian will introduce Valaquenta on Friday.

Welcome to the project.

Thanks Sister!
I was also wondering why I suddenly have the title Hobbit under my appellation? I certainly am not one! It's Elven blood through and through for me! So, does this mean that I get to choose a new title?

From the frequently asked questions:

This text is called a title. The standard titles have Middle-earth themes and change based on how many posts you have. The titles do not have any practical function, though. Here are the titles:

Sapling: 0-2 posts
Hobbit: 3-49 posts
Enting: 50-99 posts
Elven Warrior: 100-499 posts
Elf Lord: 500+ posts

The default titles for moderators and administrators are "Huorn" and "Ent," respectively. Staff members and certain users may have their own custom titles. In some situations, the title "Smelly Orc" is given to spammers.

Once you reach 500 posts Morgan, you may choose a custom title.

Something to look forward to, indeed! Though I think I would prefer to remain Hobbit, whatever the number of my posts

BTW, Sister, your own title is impressive, as well as the number of posts

The number of posts I have is a ficticous amount. It was done to prevent members from spamming to achieve a higher count. If you wish your title to be Hobbit, then after you reach 500 posts, I can put it back to Hobbit. Btw, how do you like my signature?

Re: signature - I do like it. BTW, I would hardly expect anything... err... less Finrod-oriented

BTW, how do you like mine? I have just changed it.

Note: I had already chosen Chapter 23 when I posted it, sorry Cirdan. __________________ “What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance.
