Good luck to all nominees.

I’m afraid we’ve got a problem with authorisation on the email server and emails are not getting to people from the website.

We’ve had sustained malicious login attempts over the past week so Luringdad has enabled our super-sekrit ring of protection (aka Cloudflare under attack mode). I’m sorry you have to do the awful captcha process. That gives you access for a day. Come back in 24 hours and you’ll have to do it again.

It should only be for a…Read more

There was some weirdness during testing (isn’t there always) with recognising my vote, so if you have any problems voting please…Read more

(If you forget to log in and you click the vote now button you’ll see a little login popup and you’ll go hey, that’s great. Except you won’t see confirmation that you’ve voted until you log in via the usual place on the right sidebar. Ugh. So save yourself the hassle and just log in first.)

Really sorry folks. Just delete the email and the message here on your forum message list. Hopefully the new spam-protection I’ve enabled will stop any more coming through.

SPAMMERS & SCAMMERS ALERT
Site admin talk here. The service we’ve used for years to prevent spammers/sploggers signing up and abusing the forum has been suspended. It was really effective so I’m hoping this is only a temporary situation.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR ME?
It means you might get messages from people pretending to be site…Read more

We’ve got some pesky gremlins in the website email system at the moment. I’m hoping it won’t affect you all but there is a possibility of emails not getting to your inbox.

If you’re subscribed to a thread or a forum you _might_ not get an email alert.

Equally if you rely on an email to let you know there are private message…Read more

I just read this and thought it was an interesting article – it might appeal especially to those of us who studied the Coursera course (however many moons ago that may have been!) as something to consider/discuss. I’m not sure that I agree with the author on all points, but I am a little bit of an Aragorn fangirl so I will probably…Read more

So in my neverending efforts to actually get a single character up to max level, I finally hit 80 recently and have got myself a war steed. The problem is that I hate it. Like wow, I really hate it. I feel totally incapable when I try to use it and cannot seem to get the…Read more

Luri did some emergency maintenance on the website today. (It was planned maintenance, but brought forward in a hurry. We’re having a bit of a snow situation on the East Coast of England; he can’t get into work because the UK doesn’t understand snow, so he had the time today. Anyway.)

We’ve had a poke around and everything seems o…Read more

This is Gomez xD

The results are available for all to see: election results

Congratulations to our new Officers!

Also… GUI!! :)

(I hope nobody minds me posting here, I haven’t logged in the game in forever but I still subscribe to the forums and I love you all please don’t hurt me)

I’d love to watch your streams but unfortunately time zones are bad. Will the videos be available to check out afterwards for anyone who can’t make it on during? I’m not that up…Read more

For those of you who know, I like to play Dungeons & Dragons and other similar systems, and I’ve recently gotten into The One Ring RPG. It’s basically D&D but Lord of the Rings related.

And it’s been decided that we’re gonna start streaming it every Wednesday at 8 PM EST (Server Time)…Read more

Vote now!

The polls were supposed to open today, but the polling software we use on the website is allowing non-logged users to vote. (You might think that’s ok, but it would mean that anyone could vote, and as many times as they liked by using anonymous browsing. It would mean we couldn’t trust that it was really a democratic vote.)

We’d set this electoral period to 12 months to make the election process a little simpler. However, a bunch of Eagles have requested that we hold elections to recruit more officers, of which we are in dire need. Having mulled things over, Luri has decided to step aside and open up the leadership role too. So, without further ado, we…Read more

Did you buy the Aria of the Valar? I thought that came with armour for your level?

I’ll have a look through my vaults and pass on anything that might keep you going until you get some good enough drops.

I think we’re in not-very-overlapping timezones, but if you’re around this weekend I’d be happy to help you out…Read more

Sere’s scary screenshot will live on our homepage until the next screenshot competition (when it will be relocated to the screenshot gallery.)

Thank you Sere!

Many Eagles have bought the Mordor expansion pack and casually sauntered into Mordor, and I for one would love to see the best/scariest/most awesome things you have experienced so far.

COMPETITION TIME
Take a screenshot of you and your buddies anywhere in Mordor.

In addition to thanking our outgoing officers and welcome the new team we will be having an EagleStock!

It’s been a while since we’ve had a good get together!

We’re going add a few social events to the end of the inauguration and we’d love to have some volunteers to help out.

We’ve not confirmed the time yet, but it should be sometime after 3PM ST.

If you’d like to help out, please reply to this thread!

Thanks!

You need to log in to vote but your vote is recorded anonymously.

If you have any issues casting your vote please contact Saed (saedhillian@gmail.com).

Go to it, Eagles. Democracy in action!

> So, my question for the candidates is: what would be your strategy to recruit new people in the kin?

In addition to recruitment drives in Bree, Moria and Gondor.

I think running a few ad hoc events like Roving Threats, Treasure Caches and; Floid and Dewitt might help raise our profile.

So if there’s any kindly…Read more

I’m Saed and I’m standing for officer.

I’ve been an officer in the Eagles for most of the past 4 years. I run this here website and forum and I’ve helped shape the guidelines, code of conduct and ethos of the Eagles. I think I know the kinship pretty well.

Over the past couple of years it’s become clear that we have…Read more

I am standing for leader for another term.

While I think we achieved a lot in the last term (thanks to an excellent if small group of officers):
– we ran 24 events!
– had regular communication (newsletter)
– gave everyone a unicorn warsteed

I feel that my work isn’t finished, there’s still lots to do.
