Happy 17th Anniversary to everyone associated with the Valar Guild!
Here is the 17th Anniversary Page's link, collecting together the various activities:
valarguild.org/varda/NewsArchives/extras/2014/Anniv17th/anniv17th.htm
LotRO fireworks run 8pm Eastern, starting at Bree.
SWTOR fireworks/gaming in the afternoon.
We have an in-game screenshot contest for the anniversary as mentioned in the Sept. 14 News Meeting Transcript, but here it is again for convenience.
We have a project that we'd like to kick off with an anniversary competition. This involves taking in-game screenies, and with some thought can be done from nearly any game, maybe any game. We'll see how creative we can be. The idea is to make screenshots for the anniversary theme of camaraderie, with a bonus added theme of the Hobbit books/movie. It needs to be folks in the Valar's camaraderie, with our kin name, because it's our anniversary, not theirs. The winner would have the screenshot be the only image up for the opening page of the Valar Guild, which currently has many rotating, at valarguild.org
f there's a tie, there will probably be a shared rotation between them.
All shots will remain reachable from the Anniversary page, which will continue to be available in our archives.
1. camaraderie theme to allow entry and a decent shot (not blurry and sideways unless it's an on-purpose drunken party of probably dwarven comrades),
2. hobbit book or movie reference to add a bonus point,
3. bonus point for each guild member in the shot,
4. one point an awesome location, (includes instance or raid boss fight)
5. one point for an appropriate location. (Hobbit-themed)
6. Automatic index picture for showing the entire Thorin's Company at Rivendell made of guild members carrying our guild's name, as a first or second winner (would be rotated between the winners, no other pics up during the rest of October). This is 13 dwarves (genders unknown), one hobbit male, and one wizard male. Appropriate clothing for the tie-breaker.
7. Winning requires sending it in before the meeting time. Cool pics can still be added late to the Anniversary page for fun.
