Thread: Special Easter Event

Dear people of Withywindle! the Special Easter Event (SEE) is coming to a server near you in a not so distant future (read: easter). Rules will be announced this sunday but for those that want a little taste of what's to come let me tell you this;

The main prize will be not one, not two, but 3 DRAIGOCH SCALES. Which means you could walk away with your very own cloak. But that's not all, there will also be other very nice shinies for people to collect!

Keep tabs on this post to get more information and rules of the event.

3 scales! i love u man ! lol

Ok, so here's a bit of more info:

1st place: 3 scales + relics + surprise
2nd place: Worn symbol of Celebrimbor + relic removal scroll + surprise
3rd place: Cracked Rhi Helvarch + relics + surprise


It's a multitask contest which means the more parts you are in the higher the possibility to win. Some events can be done at any time while others have to be done at a certain time. This event will end on monday April 9th in the evening. If nothing else is stated the winner in each event will recieve 3 points, the runner up 2 and the 3rd person 1.

Task 1 - "It's only a fleshwound..." - Post a picture of yourself in the most dangerous enviroment you can possibly think of e.g. a chicken in Orthanc or a lvl 40 in Grams is more impressive than a lvl 75 in TH. Post your pictures in this thread to be judged, the picture must show your level and also it has to be clear in what area you are. Deadline sat 8pm CET.

Task 2 - the Hobbit in the Green Dragon - Write a poem about hobbit ale, simple. Deadline sat 8pm CET.

Task 3 - "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back fo breakfast!" - Gather round for pipeweed and the occasional question. Sheafton Homesteads in the Shire Sun 6pm CET. Bring lots of your own pipeweed and ponder the name of this task.

Task 4 - When old ice breaks - With the breaking of this winter's ice there's bound to be a lot of fish in the rivers. Bring your fishing rods to Ered Luin and meet up at the fishing trainer south of Thorin's Hall on Monday at 3pm CET. *Max 23 players*

Task 5 - An old Friend - What is this task about? Be online on Monday at 6 pm CET to find out...

Very nice idea fralin, congratulations for the organization of such an event i will start my entry with the picture competition... now normally i would use a screenshot i have but since it has no stats/level on it i chose another one. this one :


some words about it... it was my first run of the dargnakh (or however its written always confuse it) and while i was doing the usual stuff there a great chasm appears between my legs. I was like ###??? this new instance is really something new and keeps u on the edge, then i understood it was a bug on the terrain -.-

lesson learned: most dangerous thing in lotro are the bugs of turbine

p.s. working on the poem

Trolling trolls of Isengard




Hobbit ale

One ale to rule you all,
One ale from Hobbiton,
One ale to bring them all down
and in the drunkness bind them.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Hobbit ale is good,
And drunk are you.



It took me 1 minute to write the poem :P

updated with more info

And here is my poem :

Hobbit ale of the shire
golden coloured strong, in
taste and texture, found
in every tavern theres's around.

but dwarven ale is better!

because songs are actual poems in melody i combined those a little :P.
thought would be a good mini-like/original idea :P

poem/song :P
<bree>
I drink beer because it makes me feel good.
I drink beer because i feel that i should.
There was a song i would know to sing.
I would sing so Barliman Butterbur knows what he should bring.

>refrain
We drink and go, where the night would bring us.
But we stop at every inn, until we can't feed more to our lust.
We know this enjoyment, will make tomorrows the battle tough.
But tonight we march to this city, until we have enough!

<th>
Today we have to craft and mine.
for glory our swords in and axes will shine.
after the heat of the forges, we go down where Rúnulf gives a hail.
Rúnulf brings nice meal and a lot of delicious ale.

>refrain

>bridge-thyme
<lothlorien>
The elfs of we will stand our fight.
we fight for glory as our blades slash true the night.
the battle is though but we know we will prevail.
we know we will win, becouse we used doping with ale!

our foes strike hard and hope starts to fade
wait a light of hope comes, it is a elf maid.
lady galadriel brought victory with light shine(s).
and we celebrate our succes, with a lot of wine!

>refrain

/outro theme
<shire>
Finally back at the hills of peace and pies.
The hills where the party's never dies.
The inn league heared our stories and frago sandheaver fainted by shock.
Carlos blagrove onjoyed our stories so much, he aproved to let us drink all they had in stock!
"yeah"

>refrain 2ce.
