<p>Tuor: </p> <hr /> <div>'''MUD''' is defined as a ''multi-user domain'', ''multi-user dungeon'', or ''multi-user dimension''. All of these refer to the same idea, an online enviroment where a multitude of people may be logged on and interact with one another. The original defintion for MUD was ''multi-user dungeon'', indicating the multiplayer aspect applied to popular single player games like Dungeon and Zork. While not always the case, the vast majority of MUDs are builting for the sole purpose of gaming. MUDs can be considered the predecessors of the MMORPG. Many, many Tolkien based MUDs have existed and still exist today, offering a large range of options to choose from. Listed below are MUDs based upon the works of J.R.R.

<p>Tuor: /* Cirith Gorgor and related bands */</p> <hr /> <div>==Question==<br /> Hello, Hyarion!<br /> <br /> I hope this is the right place to send messages - if not, please erase this.<br /> <br /> Well, I was suprised to see that I was the second person to register in here, but that's even better: there's plenty of room to fill in. <br /> <br /> I found these pages - as you might guess - via the Finnish Kontu forum, where the administrator Merri had posted a message informing about possibilities for co-operation. So I hope there will be more Finns to register in. I'll send my contributions when I have time to do that - quite irregularly, I'm afraid, but let's hope the best.<br /> <br /> yours, Tik<br /> <br /> By the way, how does one start writing a new article to which there exists no previous <br /> link? I couldn't figure that out, being quite unaccustomed to Wiki. The only way I could start writing a new article was to edit a previous one and add there a new internal link and continue editing that one.<br /> <br /> :I have a feeling that will be a common one (because I had to figure that one out myself) so I'll post that on the help page. All you have to do is type in your address bar, something like http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Title of Page (it will even insert the underscores for you) and you will be directed to a page that does not exist and you can edit it that way. <br /> <br /> :Also, something I broke my own rule on, its a good idea to type a 'signature' when adding a comment to a discussion, otherwise no one knows who wrote it. I wish mediawiki would do it automatically, but until I fix that, a good standard to use is like mine below, just type &quot;&amp;mdash ;&quot; but take the space out between the h and the semicolon...I can't figure out how to show those literally. You can also use -- it's just a matter of preference. And then type 4 ~ in a row. The first one prints out your name, second the time, 3rd the date, and 4th the timezone I believe.<br /> <br /> :EDIT: Hm...looks like your one step ahead of me, on your pages, you have exactly that.<br /> <br /> :EDIT: On second thought I'm going to move this to User:Hyarion because I'll probably keep this page to say what the English translation of Hyarion is. -- [[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 11:41, 12 Jun 2005 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Answer To Your Question ==<br /> <br /> A lot of my stuff is at my LJ, [http://www.livejournal.com/users/brighty11/ ~~Black Sun~~], and some is at Parma, OF and Elfsheen, but a lot is just on my hard disk. :)<br /> <br /> &amp;mdash; [[User:BrightSideoftheDark|Brighty]] 6:22, 25 Aug 2005 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Bokkie Moans ==<br /> <br /> Hey<br /> <br /> Can you try and make a [[Special:Sandbox]] for us users to try stuff out in?<br /> makes editing family lines and such easier...<br /> <br /> I've spotted a difference of opinion... 8-)<br /> I've been trying to remove all the '''Hobbits Category''' entries from the different hobbits, but I see you add them still... It did make it easier for me to check who had been edited...<br /> I guess we want them back?<br /> <br /> * Ah, hehe. That is something I was debating. I wonder if it is possible to have a 'Hobbits' cateogry and in it, list the hobbit family names, but have it also contain a list of all the hobbits since those are sub-categories. I guess when it comes down to it I just want a page that lists all the Hobbits, whatever way works I'm fine with. Sorry I totally forgot you were removing those, heh, I'll look into it to see what way will work. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 16:44, 9 Sep 2005 (EDT)<br /> ::I'll leave the Hobbit category be then. I guess it would be just as useful to have all the hobbits in one big list, as it was. Just add a category for the specific family too, like you did 8-)<br /> I've got my doubts about double pages like [[Sam Gamgee]] and [[Samwise Gamgee]].<br /> It basically is one and the same person, only a nickname or shortform. I would rather see 1 article with a list of &quot;aliases&quot;... --[[User:Bokkie|Bokkie]] 17:42, 14 Sep 2005 (EDT)<br /> :I understand where you're coming from and I'll keep thinking about it, but for the time being I still say that it would be more beneficial to have the names on seperate pages, because each name has a specific meaning. For example [[Aragorn Elessar]] and [[Strider]] and such, you can go into great detail about the different names and people who called him that, places he used it, and the [[Elvish]] translations along with the old english meanings, etc. This would tend to drag down the [[Aragorn Elessar]] page to list all the names/information on it. For things like [[Sam Gamgee]] there is not going to be as much information to talk about it, but just to keep the same system I think it's best to keep it. In the future we can list when he is referred to as 'Sam' and by whom. Just my opinion though. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 00:15, 15 Sep 2005 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Sandbox ==<br /> <br /> Good idea, I'll add that to the to-do list while I upgrade the new wiki software, which should greatly improve the left menu, I'm going to be able to add things like links to the letters A-Z or links to races or to whatever we want and in different tables, if you have any suggestions let me know. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 16:39, 9 Sep 2005 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ==What Happened to Me?==<br /> This is Brighty - what happened to me? I tried to log in and it said I don't exist. Weird.<br /> ::Were you using &quot;BrightSideoftheDark&quot;? Your still on the userlist, odd. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 21:51, 3 November 2005 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Cirith Gorgor and related bands ==<br /> <br /> Hey Hyarion,<br /> <br /> Like Blind Guardian not all songs relate to Tolkien, but the ones that do stick to theme. Do you want bands to stick with just a band page?<br /> :Honestly it's up to you, that's the best part, no one person has full control and we as a community can make decisions, but with the [[Blind Guardian]] page I just copied that from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Guardian for now and have yet to remove the unnecessary links, which was my fault because you were basing your articles off that. With Blind Guardian, as with [[Cirith Gorgor (band)|Cirith Gorgor]] it is tricky because the [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] theme is greater in some albums and songs than others so there is no easy fine line. In the end more information is always better than less and if in the future we deem the articles as unnecessary it won't take any effort to remove them. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 18:05, 28 November 2005 (EST)<br /> ::Ah ok. I was gonna just throw up a band page but saw all the information on Blind Guardian I figure I better not slack and add some more :P I'll clean it up and keep it that way in the future.</div>

The line-up was completed when Levithmong (drums) and Lord Mystic (bass) shortly afterwards joined the band. In the course of 1996 Nimroth (vocals) replaced the band’s first vocalist who was dismissed due to a lack of motivation.<br /> <br /> The band name was chosen because it represents a common interest within the band, a great love for the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]], and it symbolises the [[Cirith Gorgor|haunted pass]] to Death. A variety of interests is also to be found in the lyrics, of which the main inspiration springs from the intense antipathy towards all organised religions.<br /> <br /> A period of frequent rehearsals ensued and more songs were composed, which eventually led to the recording of Cirith Gorgor’s first demo &quot;[[Mystic Legends...]]&quot; (1997), produced in the band’s rehearsal place. 350 copies were soon sold out.<br /> <br /> About a year later Cirith Gorgor signed with Osmose Productions, after which the debut album &quot;[[Onwards to the Spectral Defile]]&quot; was released in 1999. Immediately after the recordings of this album Asmoday decided to leave the band because of personal circumstances. In spite of this loss the band soon regained full strength again when Marchosias (guitar) entered the legion and they were able to execute several more live performances, which up till now had included shows with Behemoth, Aeternus, Asphyx and Testament.<br /> <br /> After positive reviews and live shows the band started composing their second album &quot;[[Unveiling the Essence]]&quot; for release in 2001, which was once again released by Osmose Productions. The typical aggressive yet melodic Cirith Gorgor style was consolidated and the new album received good reactions.<br /> <br /> Then, after successful gigs with Enthroned, Dead Head and Hades Almighty, Cirith Gorgor’s second founding member Astaroth Daemonum also decided to quit the band because it proved impossible to combine full dedication to the band with his other daily life activities. At this time the band’s label also chose to end the cooperation with Cirith Gorgor. The band, however, remained motivated and started working on new material.<br /> <br /> A self-financed promo titled &quot;[[Demonic Incarnation]]&quot; released in 2002 was recorded and came to the attention of German label Ketzer Records. Two of the songs featured on the promo were released on a limited edition 7&quot; EP titled &quot;[[Through Woods of Darkness and Evil]]&quot; (2002 - 666 copies) through a cooperation between Ketzer and Regimental (USA).<br /> <br /> Also a new guitarist was found shortly after recording the promo: Inferno, coming from Dutch black metal band Tartaros, joined forces and was involved in the creation of Cirith Gorgor’s new album &quot;[[Firestorm Apocalypse - Tomorrow Shall Know the Blackest Dawn]].&quot; The album was released in July of 2004 by Ketzer Records. In the following year Cirith Gorgor did a European tour with Lux Ferre and Daemonlord.<br /> <br /> With the help of Mor Dagor guitarist Pestilence a new track, entitled &quot;[[Demonic Incarnation]]&quot;, was recorded, which was released later in 2005 as a split 7&quot; EP with Mor Dagor. <br /> <br /> ==Line-up==<br /> * Levithmong - Drums (joined 1993)<br /> * Lord Mystic - Bass (joined 1994)<br /> * Nimroth - Vocals (joined 1996)<br /> * Marchosias - Guitar (joined 1999)<br /> * Inferno - Guitar (joined 2002)<br /> <br /> ==Former Members==<br /> * Gothmog - Vocals (1993-1996)<br /> * Asmoday - Guitar (1993-1999)<br /> * Astaroth Daemonum - Guitar (1993-2001)<br /> <br /> ==Discography==<br /> * ''[[Mystic Legends...]]'' (Demo) (1997 - BBA)<br /> * ''[[Onwards to the Spectral Defile]]'' (CD/Picture LP) (1999 - Osmose)<br /> * ''[[Unveiling the Essence]]'' (CD) (2001 - Osmose)<br /> * ''[[Demonic Incarnation]]'' (Promo) (2002)<br /> * ''[[Through Woods of Darkness and Evil]]'' (7&quot; EP) (2002 - Ketzer/Regimental)<br /> * ''[[Firestorm Apocalypse - Tomorrow Shall Know the Blackest Dawn]]'' (CD) (2005 - Ketzer)<br /> * ''[[Demonic Incarnation]]'' (Split 7&quot; EP with Mor Dagor) (2005)<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> [http://www.cirithgorgor.nl Official Site]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Music]]<br /> [[Category:Bands]]</div>

The line-up was completed when Levithmong (drums) and Lord Mystic (bass) shortly afterwards joined the band. In the course of 1996 Nimroth (vocals) replaced the band’s first vocalist who was dismissed due to a lack of motivation.<br /> <br /> The band name was chosen because it represents a common interest within the band, a great love for the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]], and it symbolises the [[Cirith Gorgor|haunted pass]] to Death. A variety of interests is also to be found in the lyrics, of which the main inspiration springs from the intense antipathy towards all organised religions.<br /> <br /> A period of frequent rehearsals ensued and more songs were composed, which eventually led to the recording of Cirith Gorgor’s first demo &quot;[[Mystic Legends…]]&quot; (1997), produced in the band’s rehearsal place. 350 copies were soon sold out.<br /> <br /> About a year later Cirith Gorgor signed with Osmose Productions, after which the debut album &quot;[[Onwards to the Spectral Defile]]&quot; was released in 1999. Immediately after the recordings of this album Asmoday decided to leave the band because of personal circumstances. In spite of this loss the band soon regained full strength again when Marchosias (guitar) entered the legion and they were able to execute several more live performances, which up till now had included shows with Behemoth, Aeternus, Asphyx and Testament.<br /> <br /> After positive reviews and live shows the band started composing their second album &quot;[[Unveiling the Essence]]&quot; for release in 2001, which was once again released by Osmose Productions. The typical aggressive yet melodic Cirith Gorgor style was consolidated and the new album received good reactions.<br /> <br /> Then, after successful gigs with Enthroned, Dead Head and Hades Almighty, Cirith Gorgor’s second founding member Astaroth Daemonum also decided to quit the band because it proved impossible to combine full dedication to the band with his other daily life activities.

<p>Tuor: Cirith Gorgor and related bands</p> <hr /> <div>Hello, Hyarion!<br /> <br /> I hope this is the right place to send messages - if not, please erase this.<br /> <br /> Well, I was suprised to see that I was the second person to register in here, but that's even better: there's plenty of room to fill in. <br /> <br /> I found these pages - as you might guess - via the Finnish Kontu forum, where the administrator Merri had posted a message informing about possibilities for co-operation. So I hope there will be more Finns to register in. I'll send my contributions when I have time to do that - quite irregularly, I'm afraid, but let's hope the best.<br /> <br /> yours, Tik<br /> <br /> By the way, how does one start writing a new article to which there exists no previous <br /> link? I couldn't figure that out, being quite unaccustomed to Wiki. The only way I could start writing a new article was to edit a previous one and add there a new internal link and continue editing that one.<br /> <br /> == Good Question ==<br /> <br /> I have a feeling that will be a common one (because I had to figure that one out myself) so I'll post that on the help page. All you have to do is type in your address bar, something like http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Title of Page (it will even insert the underscores for you) and you will be directed to a page that does not exist and you can edit it that way. <br /> <br /> Also, something I broke my own rule on, its a good idea to type a 'signature' when adding a comment to a discussion, otherwise no one knows who wrote it. I wish mediawiki would do it automatically, but until I fix that, a good standard to use is like mine below, just type &quot;&amp;mdash ;&quot; but take the space out between the h and the semicolon...I can't figure out how to show those literally. You can also use -- it's just a matter of preference. And then type 4 ~ in a row. The first one prints out your name, second the time, 3rd the date, and 4th the timezone I believe.<br /> <br /> EDIT: Hm...looks like your one step ahead of me, on your pages, you have exactly that.<br /> <br /> EDIT: On second thought I'm going to move this to User:Hyarion because I'll probably keep this page to say what the English translation of Hyarion is.<br /> <br /> &amp;mdash; [[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 11:41, 12 Jun 2005 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Answer To Your Question ==<br /> <br /> A lot of my stuff is at my LJ, [http://www.livejournal.com/users/brighty11/ ~~Black Sun~~], and some is at Parma, OF and Elfsheen, but a lot is just on my hard disk. :)<br /> <br /> &amp;mdash; [[User:BrightSideoftheDark|Brighty]] 6:22, 25 Aug 2005 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Bokkie Moans ==<br /> <br /> Hey<br /> <br /> Can you try and make a [[Special:Sandbox]] for us users to try stuff out in?<br /> makes editing family lines and such easier...<br /> <br /> I've spotted a difference of opinion... 8-)<br /> I've been trying to remove all the '''Hobbits Category''' entries from the different hobbits, but I see you add them still... It did make it easier for me to check who had been edited...<br /> I guess we want them back?<br /> <br /> * Ah, hehe. That is something I was debating. I wonder if it is possible to have a 'Hobbits' cateogry and in it, list the hobbit family names, but have it also contain a list of all the hobbits since those are sub-categories. I guess when it comes down to it I just want a page that lists all the Hobbits, whatever way works I'm fine with. Sorry I totally forgot you were removing those, heh, I'll look into it to see what way will work. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 16:44, 9 Sep 2005 (EDT)<br /> ::I'll leave the Hobbit category be then. I guess it would be just as useful to have all the hobbits in one big list, as it was. Just add a category for the specific family too, like you did 8-)<br /> I've got my doubts about double pages like [[Sam Gamgee]] and [[Samwise Gamgee]].<br /> It basically is one and the same person, only a nickname or shortform. I would rather see 1 article with a list of &quot;aliases&quot;... --[[User:Bokkie|Bokkie]] 17:42, 14 Sep 2005 (EDT)<br /> :I understand where you're coming from and I'll keep thinking about it, but for the time being I still say that it would be more beneficial to have the names on seperate pages, because each name has a specific meaning. For example [[Aragorn Elessar]] and [[Strider]] and such, you can go into great detail about the different names and people who called him that, places he used it, and the [[Elvish]] translations along with the old english meanings, etc. This would tend to drag down the [[Aragorn Elessar]] page to list all the names/information on it. For things like [[Sam Gamgee]] there is not going to be as much information to talk about it, but just to keep the same system I think it's best to keep it. In the future we can list when he is referred to as 'Sam' and by whom. Just my opinion though. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 00:15, 15 Sep 2005 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Sandbox ==<br /> <br /> Good idea, I'll add that to the to-do list while I upgrade the new wiki software, which should greatly improve the left menu, I'm going to be able to add things like links to the letters A-Z or links to races or to whatever we want and in different tables, if you have any suggestions let me know. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 16:39, 9 Sep 2005 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ==What Happened to Me?==<br /> This is Brighty - what happened to me? I tried to log in and it said I don't exist. Weird.<br /> ::Were you using &quot;BrightSideoftheDark&quot;? Your still on the userlist, odd. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 21:51, 3 November 2005 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Cirith Gorgor and related bands ==<br /> <br /> Hey Hyarion,<br /> <br /> Like Blind Guardian not all songs relate to Tolkien, but the ones that do stick to theme. Do you want bands to stick with just a band page?</div>

The line-up was completed when [[Levithmong]] ([[Drummer|drums]]) and [[Lord Mystic]] ([[Bass guitar|bass]]) shortly afterwards joined the [[band]]. In the course of [[1996 in music|1996]] [[Nimroth]] ([[Vocalist|vocals]]) replaced the band’s first [[vocalist]] who was dismissed due to a lack of motivation.<br /> <br /> The [[band]] name was chosen because it represents a common interest within the [[band]] and it symbolises the [[Cirith Gorgor|haunted pass]] to Death. A variety of interests is also to be found in the lyrics, of which the main inspiration springs from the intense antipathy towards all organised religions.<br /> <br /> A period of frequent rehearsals ensued and more songs were composed, which eventually led to the recording of Cirith Gorgor’s first demo &quot;[[Mystic Legends…]]&quot; ([[1997 in music|1997]]), produced in the band’s rehearsal place. 350 copies were soon sold out.<br /> <br /> About a year later Cirith Gorgor signed with Osmose Productions, after which the debut album &quot;[[Onwards to the Spectral Defile]]&quot; was released in [[1999 in music|1999]]. Immediately after the recordings of this album [[Asmoday]] decided to leave the band because of personal circumstances. In spite of this loss the [[band]] soon regained full strength again when [[Marchosias]] ([[Guitarist|guitar]]) entered the legion and they were able to execute several more live performances, which up till now had included shows with Behemoth, Aeternus, Asphyx and Testament.<br /> <br /> After positive reviews and live shows the band started composing their second album &quot;[[Unveiling the Essence]]&quot; for release in [[2001 in music|2001]], which was once again released by Osmose Productions. The typical aggressive yet melodic Cirith Gorgor style was consolidated and the new album received good reactions.<br /> <br /> Then, after successful gigs with Enthroned, Dead Head and Hades Almighty, Cirith Gorgor’s second founding member [[Astaroth Daemonum]] also decided to quit the band because it proved impossible to combine full dedication to the band with his other daily life activities. At this time the band’s label also chose to end the cooperation with Cirith Gorgor. The band, however, remained motivated and started working on new material.<br /> <br /> A self-financed promo titled &quot;[[Demonic Incarnation]]&quot; released in [[2002 in music|2002]] was recorded and came to the attention of German label Ketzer Records. Two of the songs featured on the promo were released on a limited edition 7&quot; EP titled &quot;[[Through Woods of Darkness and Evil]]&quot; ([[2002 in music|2002]] - 666 copies) through a cooperation between Ketzer and Regimental (USA).<br /> <br /> Also a new guitarist was found shortly after recording the promo: [[Inferno]], coming from Dutch black metal band Tartaros, joined forces and was involved in the creation of Cirith Gorgor’s new album &quot;[[Firestorm Apocalypse – Tomorrow Shall Know the Blackest Dawn]].&quot; The album was released in July [[2004 in music|2004]] by Ketzer Records. In the following year Cirith Gorgor did a European tour with Lux Ferre and Daemonlord.<br /> <br /> With the help of Mor Dagor guitarist [[Pestilence]] a new track, entitled &quot;[[Demonic Incarnation]]&quot;, was recorded, which will be released later in [[2005 in music|2005]] as a split 7&quot; EP with Mor Dagor. <br /> <br /> ==Line-up==<br /> * [[Levithmong]] - [[Drummer|drums]] (joined 1993)<br /> * [[Lord Mystic]] - [[Bass guitar|bass]] (joined 1994)<br /> * [[Nimroth]] - [[Vocalist|vocals]] (joined 1996)<br /> * [[Marchosias]] - [[Guitarist|guitar]] (joined 1999)<br /> * [[Inferno]] - [[Guitarsit|guitar]] (joined 2002)<br /> <br /> ==Former members==<br /> * [[Gothmog]] - [[Vocalist|vocals]] (1993-1996)<br /> * [[Asmoday]] - [[Guitarist|guitar]] (1993-1999)<br /> * [[Astaroth Daemonum]] - [[Guitarist|guitar]] (1993-2001)<br /> <br /> ==Discography==<br /> * ''[[Mystic Legends...]]'' (Demo) ([[1997 in music|1997 - BBA]])<br /> * ''[[Onwards to the Spectral Defile]]'' (CD/Picture LP) ([[1999 in music|1999]] - Osmose)<br /> * ''[[Unveiling the Essence]]'' (CD) ([[2001 in music|2001]] - Osmose)<br /> * ''[[Demonic Incarnation]]'' (Promo) ([[2002 in music|2002]])<br /> * ''[[Through Woods of Darkness and Evil]]'' (7&quot; EP) ([[2002 in music|2002]] - Ketzer/Regimental)<br /> * ''[[Firestorm Apocalypse - Tomorrow Shall Know the Blackest Dawn]]'' (CD) ([[2005 in music|2005]] - Ketzer)<br /> * ''[[Demonic Incarnation]]'' (Split 7&quot; EP with Mor Dagor) ([[2005 in music|2005]])<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> [http://www.cirithgorgor.nl Official Site]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Music]]<br /> [[Category:Bands]]</div>
