Each week we ask you to share your successes in Middle Earth with the rest of the community. Post a comment letting us know what you’ve accomplished this past week.
We will pick comments at random to read on the podcast giving you a chance for a little shout out for yourself! Our shout-outs are only as good as the information we get so remember:
- Don’t forget to add your character name, what server you play on and, if you like, add your Kinship if you have one.
- Please keep your posts brief. We won’t be able to read full novels of your adventures. At least make it so we can easily sum it up!
- Do not be afraid to post any of your achievements. We don’t care if you just saved Archet or cleared out the Tower of Orthanc. We want to hear from you!
These shout outs will appear in tonight’s recording of A Casual Stroll to Mordor Podcast. You are welcome to join us live at 9:30pm Eastern! First time joining us live? See our post on how to join CSTM’s live broadcast.
Comments for this thread will be closed after recording as this is a weekly thing. If you missed this week’s cut off, don’t fret! A new thread just like this one will appear next Friday.

I made level 35 on my solo Minstrel. Work has been nuts this week so I spent my few moments left playing in the Auction House in Rivendell. I earned my first 50 gold almost overnight selling bulk ore I had been hauling about in my 5th bag this entire time! Now I feel rich. I might try to do a pub crawl back in Shire and pickup the tabs on the Windfola server this week sometime.
I also has a good laugh listening to Merric trying to say my toon’s intentionally unpronounceable name on last week’s show.

I went on a rampage in Dol Dinen and finally got kindred status with the Rangers of Esteldin, just to add another horse to my stable. Oh, and after I did get Kindred status, and before I rushed off to get the horse, I took time to help a level 31 Rune-Keeper get his trolls and the Captains. He laughed at me back at Esteldin when I showed off my new mount.

I hope everyone in the U.S. had a Happy Thanksgiving. I even got a couple hours of playing in. I’ve tired of Hytbold, Eorohir my Champ on Elendilmir almost has it completed, but it’s so repetative, and with a couple players already doing the dailies, and more in line, I’ve decided to just do the warbands with my 85s for a while.
In the meantime my long-neglected burg, Kokoe, has made it to 39, is almost 40 and ready to start gathering pages. She’s met Gwinith and looking towards the snow of the Misty Mountains. With a player in every class now, I must say, she can excel in some skirms, and then fail at others, simply because she can’t kill things quickly enough (like a champ can) or heal (like the RK or Mini can). I’m still trying to figure the burg class out. I do love Leaf Walker.
Have a wonderful week. To answer Merrick’s question about my Mini Winney on her Minstrel pony, my other alts not yet mentioned are: Gandast, Fiorwyn, Finulos, Hootman, Tolkyyn,Koffey,Wittyjack, Elryyk and Elricwhitewolf.

Well, in two different skirmish groups in different skirmishes a tarnished symbol came up and I won them both. If it was the same group would have passed on the second one but since the were different

got my main Landroval character, Aslaron(champion, kinless), to lvl 41 and onto the 5th book of epics
(Smuso is a hobbit-warden, 57.6, of the kinship ‘Gothic Riders’)
Smuso got to the ‘drowned treasury’ instance where Bosi/Bori/whatever-his-name-is won’t spawn, so that’s my 2nd character stuck in the epics due to bugs
Thurinphir SneakyBoots has got to the last sets of epic books, where she has to hike her way over to Forochel :/ (Thurinphir is 52, Gothic Riders, and is finishing vol 1 before going into moria (I want a maxed LI toothpick! (dagger)), I think she might make 54 from vol 1 quests, also there is the incentive of finishing vol 1 while the rewards are relevent)
too much talking :O summary:
Aslaron is 41 on Landroval
Smuso is stuck with bugs
Thurinphir is in the Forochel epics
-Thurindos, Medic of Mirkwood
(oh, my hunter got Thrór’s hammer back as 44 in a 48 quest with MY pathetic gear XD glad I remembered those pots)

Alexahil – 85 Champion of Nimrodel. Shirriffs of Cydonia. Kindred with Entwash Vale. Sutcrofts coming next and then I’ll have all of my class armour. Tried to solo Stoneheight. Failed. Duoed it. Tried to duo Lost Temple. Failed. Oh and got Dressage to work and finished it! Only Sutcrofts are left for the quest deed.

Today we decided to do something stupid, yes we were bored. So in the great captain ways we decided to return to Barad Guldur.
Three of us, Catflap (lvl85), Chocolate (lvl77) and myself Easton (lvl85) captains.
We actually managed to complete the Guantlet! Picture of proof – standing at the gate to Durchest.

This week, we went for the silly in our kin event.
About a half dozen of us took time out of feverish holiday preparations to go play freeze tag. Most of us had never even stumbled over the freeze tag field.
My sides still ache from laughing. We had new kinnies, old kinnies, folks from tweens to level cap, and we all chased each other in circles and up and down the stairs like lunatics.
I highly recommend it.

Hello, my name is Thy-a-tera of Nesh Me Hanan of Landroval.
Great week for me! Bought Riders of Rohan during the black friday sale and now can experiance all of the quests of Rohan which is exciting. I was doing some of these quests in a cave when I noticed a captin in the cave with me. Right next to him was a small hobbit, GOLDENSTAR! Needless to say, while I have added goldenstar to my friends list ever since I started listening to the CSTM podcast (around a year ago) I never have interacted with her online. We quickly lost eachother in the caves, but it was a highlight. I listen and follow CSTM because how much you and Merric add to the community. Thank you both and hopefully will see you both online in the future
