This is a old log of Piotyr and Ford killing balinul, it's a badass log and something interesting needed to be posted. :)
Then someone like Grum comes along, and makes me wonder why I ever bother to feel anything other than contempt of the Meglivornth.
Great log, boy oh boy is it nice to see a log with Ford in it, such a great player he was...*stares* Yes, Beowulf was *goes speechless* a magnificent player also. *sighs* Meglivornth guild *sighs*
Just before people start misunderstanding my reference to Holy Books, and start getting heated...I mean that Holy Books are of utmost importance to members of that particular religion, but hold no value to people not of that religion. But it can't be denied that together they play a very important role in the world.
Megs were a great guild, that I loved being in while I was there, despite every single day I was a member, there was a war going on. I entered knowing very little about Arda and left with good experience of almost every region in Arda. There WAS a hell of a lot of history in that guildhall, and I used to spend hours looking through the museum, even after I had left (for stupid reasons).
War made the lives of the Megs unbearable at times, and I tried to find out WHY the wars had started, but FRA, Durms, TB, and Megs all gave different stories. So I settled on Maronan's story that it was because of jealousy.
When the Meglivornth Keep was destroyed, I went to the hitching post and put a flower there, because it represented a lot to Arda. People have unnecessary hatred of the Guild, when it may be one or two people that were total twats in there...and there WERE officers who I didn't like, and those who still are some of the most decent people I've ever met here.
Looking at the Meglivornth Roll of Honor I saw loads of some of the most legendary players. Meglivornth played a very important part in Arda's history. Even those who hated it completely, it made your game more interesting...and the fact that this whole comment thread EXISTS shows their major role. Sure, the direction that Megs took in their latter days was a little...controversial...but I still respect the Guild as a whole.
And about Guild Themes - give up the debate already, it's a 'teufelskreis' (can't think of the word in English, heh)...like a catch 22 situation, i think. No Guild can be 100% thematic, 100% of the time. Every Guild's theme can be considered debatable in relation to Tolkien. Meg Theme was useful in the GAME SITUATION. As is every guild's theme (debatably).
'Uninteresting and unimportant' articles are extremely important if you look at the game as if it were real...in a world torn apart by war, you can bet your life that there'd be a HUGE number of people storing away books of knowledge and writing down important information for successors to learn from if they do not survive. I mean, saying that recording knowledge is useless, is like saying every Holy Book in existence is useless.

oh you can legend tuareg. Nice char. Way to go. I'm speachless
Omg taureg made fun of me. thats what i get for posting on his webpage. Nogothrim is a fucking noobie loser but at least you can legend him. Who the fuck taureg?
I was a meg before it became a guild. I was recruited by beowulf because he was a smart person and he recruited all the talented people. Flint and kraun were straight morons..yeah thats right...beowulf was an asskicker 2 years ahead of his time. His work with macros and free equipment especially his bug abuse work with the SoB made him a gold machine. After the first 'dream team' group of megs the guild went into the shitter. Led by good hearted half-wits like Uther and scrait retards such as Khufu meglivorth went through its true dark ages. But the one strength of meglivornth was that it had no tangible theme. This great power made meg the easiest and most profitable guild to join. Homos and communists from all over arda flocked to meglivornths retarded looking gates.
OMG btw i once saw those daedin guys kill uthers wolf, skin it, and offer to give it back to him. You had to have the pelt of the wolf to have him resurected or some shit like that. hahah they asked uther 20k for the pelt and uther gave it to them and they trashed it in his face.
Megs theme was to be impartial but they got too involved with other groups. Meg should NEVER be in a war. There is no profit in a war. Meg should be out for hire like durmanhoth. Meg got scratched. Durm shouldda too.
Longfinger you can take that finger and shove it up your ass... And i wont be commenting anymore here.. unless i feel like giving up some serious t2t info or putting up a site with Elligal info to piss of melkor
Speak the shit jas, it's all true and the museum should be left in the game, the guild accomplished so much and yet wasn't respected by anyone. The guild is part of arda history and it shouldn't be covered up. One day i will Jas, after all this stuff gets cleared up and when Bwbach can run by my side again.
Always they would say:'How can you be impartial with a war going on?'. Yet, the BkD claim to be impartial now. So should I ask the question to you? I know how someone can be impartial with the war (considering the vast majority of the fighting was contained at MT, with Sauron, and Helm's Deep etc with Saruman), they can have no knowledge of the war. Ignorance is bliss, ask 99% of the hobbits.
The fact remains, the Meglivornth guild was killed by jealous people hiding behind theme, and their constant whining.
On a side note (kinda): I think the imms could have left the museum there to let there be some rememberance of the only guild in Arda to ever be permanently changed unwillingly. The guild was one of the oldest in Arda, and that kind of history should have been respected.
Oh, and Lupin, you should come back....miss ya man

Yeah, I like the theme. I love Tolkien's books. But you need playability also. I mean, having a mercenary guild is a lot more in theme then eating food to heal (or drunk healing) or zipping all over the world in 2 seconds.
If we should start bringing up everything that is on this mud that Tolkien didn't write about, it would be a very long list... that argument won't work.
Azmodan, sorry if you feel singled out but you really bring it upon yourself. Anyways: I dont think people will fall out of their chairs from the shock of learning that you haven't read the books. Try telling us about a single book that you have completed and we might...
'this is a game based on the shit not actual recreation. '
However, if we fail to follow what this game is based upon, this game will loose its 'uniqueness.' What truly makes this MUD special?
You people think about theme too much... i didn't even read the damn books. Stop whining aboout stupid shit, this is a game based on the shit not actual recreation. But there is theme that makes us act like it.. which is retarted i never did like theme it's pointless and people almost always take advantage of it. Kind of anoying too... i mean im killing in caras when someone comes and fucks it up for me... or should i say a group comes and fucks it up ... anywho i'm tirred of typing shit
'And now BkD claims to be impartial, now that the Meglivornth guild is dead. Hypocrisy at it's best (or should I say worst.)'
Because we are truly impartial Jasumin. That is not hypocrisy. Sorry to say but read your books again. I don't remember Tolkien ever writing anything about Mercenaries (though I must admit, it is a great idea.)
The mcouncil case to disband the megs was a joke btw....
Yeah, megs had a fine theme, but Udungul is cooler cause they are evil
Well, if you dont like what we've become, dont blame us, we certainly didnt want to change.
Yeah, they weren't that bad once.Look at what they've become now..
Yeah, Megs had their days... Ari ruled!
And i thought the arrows were pretty well balanced, i mean there were only so many silver arrows and the dark arrows you had to goto mordor to get, which were a pain in the ass. Got gb'd by 5 or 6 klokers in there which if i wouldn't have panic'd it would have been easy to get away but no i decided to stand in the well and fight all of them by myself with 6 pasty's :P oh well i learned from that one.
I cared more about theme than alot of people, hell we even tried taking weapon orders to help the theme out. But hell it's hard to do orders when you are at war with 10 enemies on and then half the time it's the enemies alts trying to put you in a bad spot to get pk'd. It just wasn't worth the risk, Meglivornth was one of the best guilds ever introduced to arda and you know that. Half of TB/fra/bkd the old players anyways were megs at one time, and if i remember correctly during the war alts were playing both sides. Some of them were doing it respectably by keeping chars seperate and the others were doing it to be the so called spys. It was a shame to see the guild disbanded it had alot of history on the mud.
No, it all came down to a lot of whining by a lot of jealous people. Other, less thematic guilds didn't get changed, only this one, because the jealous people whined to anyone who would listen, the Mcouncil, the Ainur, just everyone. And the BkD were right at the head of it all. The funny thing is, it seemed their GM's biggest beef with the guild was that it was impartial during a war. And now BkD claims to be impartial, now that the Meglivornth guild is dead. Hypocrisy at it's best (or should I say worst.)
At any rate, yeah lightning/arrow method was kind of cheap. I mean, if even I could get in on a pk that way, it would have to be.
Adios
Damn cheap arrows.
Lupin, although my friends and I would love to take a whole lot of credit for the removal of the Meglivornth, I do belive there is another ... greater ... reason:
Your lack of caring one bit about theme!
yes i know they were durkin, i saw a few logs of cogline soloing some people, but after this log megs corpsed alot of people by shooting arrows and lightning with 2 wizys it was imposible to get away from if you get it. And Balinul you and your friends are one of the reasons we lost our guildhall, they say we weren't thematic, well thats bullshit. There are many guilds out there who are alot less thematic than Megs were. I am not gonna say yall couldn't win the war because of pk's because there were many pk's on each side, but atleast we didn't go whine to the mcouncil and to the ainur about the guild not being thematic.
hmm, no. People were using arrows and such to pkill LOOOONG before that :P
Good log. Of course, you cant do hardly anything shown in this log any more (or its been modified). Oh wait, you can still headbutt and hunt.... other than that... :p
*rotfl at Tuareg*
Sorry fellows, Arrows changed cause I whined like a bitch when they killed me in one round from full hp.
MegliWho? Who or what were they? Obviously nothing important if they were removed from the game.
Yes, alot of things changed since then. It was also the time Meglivornth still had a guildhall. :)
and that freaking spear :) Ko somone mid aliase with it, and 2 rounds later you were unbusy again beating the shit out of them! :)
Ouch. Not much else to say. Neat log.
I know it's a old log but it's interesting :) thats when the arrow and lightning stuff started. saw lots of people get corpsed that way
