July 2004
- Mume meeting
in Estonia is still the most burning discussion on ElvenRunes
besides soccer. So I will start with the latest news in this case.
There is a register
page on the EMMP.
Marginally 60 players have been registered, who are quite or very
sure they will come. A lot of estonians are hanker to see the
swedes and swedes who are yearning to see scary estonians. There
will be also people from Germany, Finland and Czech Republic.
It is promising to beat last year's record number of people for
a Mume Meeting. The meeting will start on 29. July, when most
of the swedes are arriving. They are planning to make a huge pre-party
in Tallinn, sauna, clubbing, pubbing or bubbling-whatever one
will like to do he/she can join with prefered company. Talking
about pre-party, have you seen the exclusive pictures about mume
pre-pre-party in Estonia, Tirbiku? Check for them from EMMP. The
page has been updated also, new pictures and info about the past
meetings. For the last words - You are very welcome to join!

The descriptions of War Points have been changed. Not that you can
see the numbers, like many would like to see, but more descriptions in
your 'info'. Examples : you are not interested in player killing or you
are a loser if you get 'You are not known for any acts of war'.
If you get 'Your supremacy in battle is beyond question', congratulations,
you are the war leader! Besides those you can climb 15 different ones,
so in a way they are visible WP's.
I know many of MUME players who like a bit harder music, so there is
something I can't miss. Player Manatark has been organizing another
metal music festival in Estonia - well known Hard Rock Laager
(laager - camp in eng.) takes place in Vana-Vigala, like in the
last year and year before that. Official homepage
proclaims: 'This year's headliner is DISMEMBER (swe), one of the first
legendary death metal acts to dictate the sound of their decade. You may
also know SWALLOW THE SUN (fin), the rising star from Finland, that has
already been nominated as the most remarkable newcomer of the year by
many top magazines. Besides these two, a line of 16 other bands follows,
the cream and pride of the local metal scene.' Festivals date this year
has been set to 16-17.July 2004, place Vana-Vigala, Estonia. You can aslo
find Freyja there taking pictures all days long and reporting for
the zine she is working for and finally on the stage.
People are still without legend homes they have paid for long ago. Rumor
has it that the money is all being used to build a pyramid like the pharoahs
did in which to lay the current legend home people to rest in after a
not so peaceful death.
Rent costs have been changed. It's more useful to rent for the
long period now. For a while players actually complained and reported
when accidentally getting free rent or thinking they had. Honesty among
Mumers who would have thought it!
The word "WARP" is appearing in many titles of gods one can
only wonder what is causing this phenomenon to encroach upon Tolkien's
world.
Player Sardaukar has promised to quit MUME.
He retired all his level 21+ characters, scrambled his account password
and left farewell to his ainus whois. But his wife Liliah still
remains.
A citizen mercenary taps you on the shoulder and says 'Crossbows
are sold in weapons store in Fornost'.
News has spread orcs will be rewarded for bringing items of their fallen
foes back to those they owe allegiance.
Whine update: trolls can't hide anymore. Umm...wait, it was a bug! But then, why do we have sneaky bears, and hobbits bashing trolls?
One of the surviving jewel-smiths from ancient Ost-in-Edhil has taken up his craft again in the fair city of Caras Galadhon.
Player Luke is buying stuff into his new empty flat. So he is complatly broken all the time, no matter how
much he works!
Player Ling announces, since she's very happy and waned to share it with the world: 'I got into the university I wanted (Uppsala University in Sweden) and that I'm moving to Uppsala in the end of August. I'm going to study chinese and peace+conflict studies and hopefully I'll get a job within the UN (united nations) in the future'. Congradulations to Ling!
Level updates: Smrtihlav has gained a level, so he is level
96 now, going for level 100. Close one!
Loreth has been nominated and chosen Ranger of the
Month for June.
