Thanks Lar.
What I'm trying to do is put each Orion Cartel on the F&E map. As in, the hexes that each Cartel has as its territory. During the campaign, during the Orion turn, I expect that the territories will ebb and flow based on some Orion house rules that I have for F&E. Therefore, instead of modifying the MAP, I believe that using markers would be better. Just a blue one with either a single white letter, or a pair of white letters to signify the particular Cartel.
I'd also like some Jindarian markers and monster markers.
Thank you.
|By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - 06:22 am: Edit
The monsters and jindarians are in the gamebox in the marker groups under monsters. Note that some of the monsters values may be incorrect as they are not "official" pieces but rather values created by the EB gang for use in the EB scenario.

Note the cyberboard gamebox contains a number of unofficial pieces, including monsters, and Orion bases. the factors on these pieces are the best guess of the creators of the various scenarios and not anything official from ADB.
This is part of the fun of F&E and cyberboard. Even the Peladine, and Paravians have a number of "unofficial" pieces in the gamebox to give you more options and even some balance.
The cool thing is the LDR gets a counter or several for thing like a LDR Battleship.
|By Randy Blair (Randyblair) on Saturday, December 10, 2011 - 05:03 am: Edit
Yes, I am very impressed with all the work that went into Cyberboard. It makes it WAY easier to have a campaign game with remote players. And the map is jaw dropping outstanding.
|By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, December 10, 2011 - 07:59 am: Edit
Reply to comments in SIT thread regarding counters.
Randy, while the Bases are "listed" in the SIT. There are no counters. The bases are therefore subject to change before publication of the counters. See Chuck's comment about changing the recommended factors. At the same time both versions of the Orion bases maybe kept in the Cyberboard gamebox, if such factors are changed. This is for scenarios like Early Beginnings and possibly Cloud Burst which have need for "standard" bases.

I don't see any ISC scenarios - is this correct?
|By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Monday, March 05, 2012 - 06:55 pm: Edit
Alan they are still be worked on for the next major update. Gathering Winds is completed, but Driving Winds is still in the works.

Chuck, we are talking about scenarios included in the Cyberboard download.

i downloaded cyberboard.
now what?
It runs (boots up) and looks all purty n stuff, but i have no clue how to make it DO anything.
what am i missing?
thinking about getting vassal, but since i only have internet via cell phone anymore, it seems to be an unlikely avenue for play.
and i have no room for a REAL game o' F&E...
"little fingers" like to touch daddy's stuff.
|By Ted Fay (Catwhoeatsphoto) on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 12:41 pm: Edit
Cyberboard is mostly a manual thing. Think of it's use like you would use a physical map and cardboard counters - but it's virtual instead.
I haven't been able to make Cyberboard work on a mobile phone. However, if you have email and a computer you can pass each other GMV files and notes and use a roller (like pbegames.com) to do the rolls you need.
|By Mike Curtis (Fear) on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 01:04 pm: Edit
Have you downloaded 3.10 version of Cyberboard? You will need the most current version for the gamebox and scenarios above.
Create a directory for your game, put the gamebox and the scenario file in that directory. Open Cyberboard and then select File>New>game and select the scenario file has your base. It will then create a game file for you from that. Save it at that point and call it master game or something like that so you can open a new game anytime you want.
Then save it as the game you are planning on doing and start moving pieces. CB will record the moves and then you can save them as a move file and your opponent can then load that move file to see your moves. You can also copy and paste any dice roller you use into the game to show results.
Hope that gets you started. If you have any other question, please let us know. There are some great folks around here that are willing to help.
|By Michael Tisdel (Jtisdel) on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 02:38 pm: Edit
Something that came up in a (restarted) game with Ted on Cyberboard - could we have a "reference" somewhere as to the best practices on how to use Cyberboard with FnE? I've done VASSAL before but this new fangled Cyberboard is a little confusing.
|By Ted Fay (Catwhoeatsphoto) on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 02:46 pm: Edit
AFAIK there is no such reference - we would have to develop it.
|By Lawrence Bergen (Lar) on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 10:08 pm: Edit
oops double post
|By Lawrence Bergen (Lar) on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 10:10 pm: Edit
I began such a reference but it has been backburnered by life.
Maybe Jean and crew can make us a subtopic thread for us to post things like quick tips and common practices players use to play F&E using CB.
|By Robert Padilla (Zargan) on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 10:58 pm: Edit
I used to have an old Word document, basically a getting started guide but I haven't updated it or even thought about updating it in ages. Maybe it's time....
|By Mike Curtis (Fear) on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 11:36 pm: Edit
I will get the subtopic up in the morning.

|By Mike Curtis (Nashvillen) on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 - 10:13 am: Edit
Feel free to ask questions there, the responses will all be in one place and maybe, someday, someone can combine them into a reference document of some kind.
|By Mark Renier (Brickthrower) on Sunday, July 22, 2012 - 01:28 pm: Edit
Even better than a manual would be an online wiki system where we can all edit it at will.
Wikis have several advantages over manuals, primary among them is that they can be updated immediately.
Here is an example of an editable wiki for the VASSAL engine and the Federation & Empire module:
Here is a wiki for the F&E board game:
Does F&E Cyberboard have some sort of available wiki to host it's knowledge within? Is it possible to get one set up?
|By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Wednesday, August 08, 2012 - 12:00 pm: Edit
Notice to Cyberboard Players: If trying to play (625.0) Driving Winds with all Federation related cordons you will discover there are not enough NAC counters available in the 2011 Gamebox.
The issue is currently being addressed. Thanks for your patience.

[Proverb.] the Poet - M(other) Like You
Artist: [Proverb.] the Poet
Producer: Jazzy Jay
Album: [For The Kids]
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 10 votes )
Bringing up The Abortion Debate in mixed company is the social equivalent of blithely tossing a hand grenade into a crowded room. It's just that touchy, so I'm going to leave it to someone else to pull the pin (or not). Pretty much anything said on the subject carries controversial implications, and [Proverb.] the Poet's first Booth feature is no exception—nonetheless. M(other) Like You finds the SoCal up-and-comer focused less on the moral/legal debate and more on the (in this case, long-lasting) emotional fallout of an unwanted pregnancy's termination. Over a soulful, lushly-sampled beat by veteran DJ Jazzy Jay, the underground emcee/punctuation-maverick tells the story of a man and a woman both haunted by thoughts of a child they'll never get to watch grow up. [P.]tP's rhymes are eloquent and thought-provoking, but those who simply want to "space out and vibe" will find a lot to like in the wistful, old-school beat and Chipmunk hook. Those who appreciate this hip-hop Poet's heartfelt take on a delicate issue can hear more on [For the Kids.] available now in stores and online.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

After losing the 2011 BCS Championship Game on a last second field goal against Cam Newton and the Auburn Tigers, Kelly's Ducks dropped a heartbreaking overtime game to the Stanford Cardinal that took them out of national championship contention late this season.

Especially with an NCAA investigation pending that will take a serious look into the football program's relationship with prep adviser Will Lyles. Oregon's attempt to resolve an NCAA investigation through summary disposition has failed, two sources with knowledge of the Ducks' discussions told Yahoo! Sports. That would result in the Ducks having to appear before the NCAA committee on infractions this Spring to face possible sanctions. It is unknown what sanctions the Ducks could face, although...

Mahesh Shrinivas Bhupathi is an Indian professional tennis player widely regarded as among the best doubles players in the world with 11 Grand Slam titles to his credit. In 1997, he became the first Indian to win a Grand Slam tournament (with Rika Hiraki). With his win at the Australian Open mixed doubles in 2006, he joined the elite group of eight tennis players who have achieved a career Grand Slam in mixed doubles.
Mahesh Bhupathi is best known as one of the top doubles players in the '90s and '00s. In 1999, Bhupathi won three doubles titles with Leander Paes, including Roland Garros and Wimbledon. He and Leander became the first doubles team to reach the finals of all four Grand Slams, the first time such a feat has been achieved in the open era and the first time since 1952. On 26 April of that year, they became the world no. 1 doubles team. Bhupathi also won the US Open mixed doubles with Ai Sugiyama of Japan.
In 2006, Bhupathi teamed with Martina Hingis in the Australian Open mixed doubles competition. Entering the tournament unseeded and as wildcards, the first-time pair defeated four seeded opponents along the way, while only dropping a single set throughout. Bhupathi and Hingis defeated the sixth-seeded team of Daniel Nestor and Elena Likhovtseva in straight sets, 6–3, 6–3, to capture the championship. It was the sixth mixed doubles Grand Slam for Bhupathi, and a first for Hingis. By winning the Australian Open, Bhupathi completed a career Grand Slam in mixed doubles.

Springbok lock and Rugby World Cup winner Bakkies Botha has announced his retirement from international rugby.
Botha, who made his Test debut on 9 November 2002 against France in Marseille, while his 85th and final appearance for South Africa was last Saturday, when he came on as a replacement in the 31-28 victory over England at Twickenham.
During a stellar career, the 35-year-old lock won the Rugby World Cup with the Springboks in 2007 and was victorious at almost every other level of the game.
He has winners' medals from the Castle Lager Rugby Championship (Tri-Nations), British & Irish Lions Series, Vodacom Super Rugby, Absa Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup, as well as the Heineken Cup and French Top 14.
Botha is the seventh most-capped Springbok of all time, is a three-time SA Rugby Player of the Year nominee (2003, 2004 and 2005) and holds the world record for the most Tests as a lock combination in the starting line-up with Victor Matfield (63).
Toulon second row forward Romain Taofifenua has been cited, following the European Champions Cup Round Two match against Ulster last Saturday 25 October.
Faofifenua is alleged to have kicked the Ulster centre Stuart Olding in the head, in the 47th minute of the Pool Three game at Kingspan Stadium in contravention of Law 10.4(c).
Mourad Boudjellal is planning to take the IRB to court over payments to players on international duty in a groundbreaking move.
The outspoken Toulon president had already made his feelings clear erlier this season when he complained about having to pay the likes of Bryan Habana, Juán Martín Fernández-Lobbe and Bakkies Botha while they were away at the Rugby Championship.
And he has now revealed that he has the support of Premiership bosses in England ahead of a legal battle with the game's governing body, who he has accused of an 'abuse of power'.
"We're in the process of speaking to our lawyers in Paris to see if we go to commercial or administrative court," he told Var Matin.
"The IRB rules have no provisions for unions to pay the clubs for their internationals. Yet the IRB is made up of the unions.
All Blacks star Ma'a Nonu has been linked to French club Toulon as the European champions ramp up recruitment ahead of next year's Rugby World Cup.
Respected French newspaper Midi Olympique claims Toulon are close to finalising a two-year deal with the veteran New Zealand midfielder.
Currently away with the Springboks, Bryan Habana hasn't been distracted by the outlandish statements of Mourad Boudjellal at Toulon.
Habana will be in line for his 102nd cap against the Wallabies in Cape Town next weekend, but the Toulon owner earlier this week demanded that Habana along with Bakkies Botha and Argentina's Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe return to play for their club.
Perhaps Habana wasn't distracted because those kind of outbursts from Boudjellal aren't new. In the same week he also raised the possibility of cancelling Leigh Halfpenny's contract.
"It's not up to me to decide on going back. We have the right lines of communication. SA Rugby have been working hard behind the scenes to address the rumours that have been going around this week," Habana exclusively told Planet Rugby.
Cardiff Blues and Ospreys are interested in signing Leigh Halfpenny if his Toulon contract is terminated.
Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal says Halfpenny's ongoing injuries could lead to his departure without playing a game since arriving for 2014-15.
Blues director and Wales legend Gareth Edwards said: "We'd welcome him with open arms."
Ospreys coach Steve Tandy said: "We'd always be interested in the quality of Halfpenny, but it's paper talk."
Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal has demanded that Bryan Habana and Bakkies Botha quit the Springboks' current Rugby Championship campaign and report for club duty.
Toulon recently lost 28-24 to Stade Francais, and currently sit at third on the Top 14 log.
Boudjellal is clearly not pleased with his side's form at present, and has publicly lamented the club's lengthy list of injuries as well as the absence of international stars like Habana, Botha, and Pumas flanker Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe.
Matt Giteau has long been lost to the Wallabies for next year's World Cup, but the bidding in French rugby for his services speaks volumes about his value as a player.
Giteau, an established star in the Top 14 champion Toulon club in the south of France, has reportedly become the target of the Paris-based Racing Metro club with a €1 million ($1.4 million) a year offer reportedly on the table.
The short-term future of James O'Connor and his return to Australia is assured, but doubts remain about his long-term plans after the World Cup in Britain next year.
Queensland are expecting O'Connor, who has 44 Test caps with the Wallabies, to remain in Brisbane after announcing last Friday that the back had signed a two-year deal with them – starting next season.
Ireland fly-half Jonathan Sexton faces a race against time to be fit for the autumn internationals after breaking his jaw while playing for Racing Metro.
The 29-year-old British and Irish Lions star was injured in a heavy clash with Craig Burden in Sunday's French top-flight contest against Toulon.
South African hooker Burden was sin-binned for the challenge.
Former Springbok prop CJ van der Linde may end off his career by joining the legion of South Africans at Heineken Cup champions Toulon.
While it was widely reported that Van der Linde had joined up with the EP Kings for the upcoming Absa Currie Cup season, French newspaper Midi Olympique now reports that the journeyman has signed a two-year contract with Toulon to play in the European season.
Experienced former All Black tighthead prop, Carl Hayman, has been named as the new captain of European champions Toulon.
The 34-year-old front row forward takes over from World Cup-winning England flyhalf legend Jonny Wilkinson who retired at the end of last season.
Juan Smith has moved closer to a possible recall for the Springboks after his French club Toulon released him along side Bryan Habana and Bakkies Botha for the Rugby Championship.
This comes as SARU announced that a 30-man Springbok squad for the forthcoming Rugby Championship will only be announced on Saturday 2 August.
This is due to the Sharks still being involved in Super Rugby and lingering injury concerns over certain players.
In April 2012, Smith announced that he would be taking an indefinite break from rugby due to the ongoing battle with his Achilles injury.
Toulon have released South Africa winger Bryan Habana to play for the Blitzbokke at the Commonwealth Games.
Habana had previously been named in the original squad to compete in Scotland before the club decided to prevent him from participating.
However, Toulon have now announced that the 97-times capped flyer has been released to compete in the tournament before he links up with the Springboks to play in The Rugby Championship.
Schalk Brits is the other big name who won't be featuring in the competition, after his release was denied by Saracens.
Juan Smith is set to complete an extraordinary return to Test rugby after being named in South Africa's squad for a training camp in August, according to Toulon.
Toulon have announced that Smith, along with Bakkies Botha and Bryan Habana, have been selected to attend a South African training camp in August.
Smith, who won the Heineken Cup and Top 14 titles with Toulon last season, has been rejuvenated in France after taking an indefinite break from the sport back in 2012 due to a persistent battle with an Achilles injury.
Springbok and Toulon lock Bakkies Botha has spoken about life in France, the final 18 months of his career and what he has planned after rugby.
After his successful run with the Springboks in June against the World XV and Wales, the My Players website caught up with the 35-year-old during his off time in the South African bush.
Toulon's South African contingent capped an unbelievably successful seven days by lifting the Bouclier de Brennus shield in Paris, after defeating Castres 18-10 in the Top 14 Final to go with their Heineken Cup title.
Former England fly-half Jonny Wilkinson was given the perfect send-off by Bakkies Botha, Juan Smith, Craig Burden and Bryan Habana, who all started the final, with Danie Rossouw and Michael Claassens appearing off the bench.
The match was Rossouw's last before retirement and brings down the curtain on a truly glorious career in which he was won every trophy available to him, from league titles in Japan, France and Super Rugby to two Heineken Cups and of course the Rugby World Cup and old Tri-Nations.
Jonny Wilkinson ended his career by helping Toulon to the French title with victory over Castres in Paris.
The former England fly-half, 35, kicked all but three of his side's points in an 18-10 victory in the Top 14 final.
His display included four penalty kicks and a drop goal reminiscent of his winning kick against Australia to win England the World Cup in 2003.
Today is almost Groundhog Day in France as Toulon once again take on Castres in the Top 14 final, but this year there is one crucial difference. Jonny Wilkinson, as the rugby world and his wife is well aware, will hang up his boots on Saturday evening having played the final 80 minutes in his glittering career. Worryingly for Castres, it would be hard to imagine that Wilkinson's Toulon team-mates will allow him to sign off with an anti-climax.
It's not just Wilkinson that Toulon will be aiming to win for – the whole team have a score to settle with their opponents. Castres upset the applecart last season by defeating Toulon 19-14 in the final to claim their first league title in 20 years. Having become the first French club to secure back-to-back Heineken Cups last weekend, Toulon are now aiming to secure a league and cup double that will send their already devoted fans into absolute pandemonium.
Jonny Wilkinson said playing alongside 'inspirational' former Australian centre Matt Giteau had convinced him now was the right time to retire.
Giteau will find himself back on South African soil in June when he faces the Springboks as part of Nick Mallett's World XV.
Wilkinson and Giteau – 'the ultimate professional' in the eyes of the England great – were both members of the star-studded Toulon side that retained the European Cup with a 23-6 win over Saracens in the European Cup Final.
Comic magnate Mourad Boudjellal's Toulon retained the Heineken Cup trophy with a comprehensive victory, by seventeen points, over English club Saracens at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff yesterday. The final score was Saracens 6/23 Toulon.
This victory proved that in the modern era of sports it is most often the team who has the biggest pot of gold available to it who will win the trophy as on the same day Toulon's football equivalent Real Madrid lifted the Champions League trophy just hours later in Lisbon. The final score of 4/1 to Real Madrid may make their victory seem as comprehensive as Toulon's.
The build-up to one of Europe's greatest sporting weekends is almost complete as the clock ticks towards the Cardiff 2014 finals kick-off.
With a galaxy of international stars ready to take the stage at the atmospheric Millennium Stadium for tomorrow's Heineken Cup decider between RC Toulon and Saracens, and at Cardiff Arms Park for this evening's all-English Amlin Challenge Cup confrontation featuring Bath Rugby and Northampton Saints, fans from all over Europe are flocking into the Welsh capital to savour a unique celebration of club rugby.
Both matches – which will feature players from as many as 15 nations including luminaries of the global game such as Jonny Wilkinson, George North, Matt Giteau, Schalk Brits and Bryan Habana – will be broadcast in more than 150 countries worldwide.
Former England fly-half Jonny Wilkinson says it would be "amazing" to one day coach his country after announcing he will retire from playing this month.
The 34-year-old will play in the Heineken Cup and Top 14 finals for Toulon, at which point he will join the French club's coaching staff.
Wilkinson played 91 times for England, famously kicking a winning drop-goal in the 2003 World Cup final.
England's Rugby World Cup hero Jonny Wilkinson announced on Monday that he will retire at the end of the season after Toulon's Heineken Cup and French Top 14 finals.
"I would like to take this opportunity to formally announce my retirement from playing rugby," the 34-year-old said in a statement on his club's website.
"I have an enormous number of people to thank for their support from all around the world but especially here in France and in England," Wilkinson said.
Heineken Cup organisers have announced that the roof of the Millennium Stadium will be closed for next Saturday's Heineken Cup final between holders, RC Toulon, and Saracens.
The decision is in keeping with previous European club rugby deciders at the famous Cardiff venue. While the atmosphere surrounding a Heineken Cup final is inevitably a special one, the sheer sense of occasion generated when the Millennium Stadium roof is shut adds an extra dimension for players and supporters alike.
Defending champions Castres will play European champions Toulon in a repeat of the 2013 French championship Final, after they edged Montpellier 22-19 after extra-time in an engrossing encounter in Lille on Saturday.
For Castres it was the third successive time they had beaten Fabien Galthie's Montpellier in the play-offs, after their opponents had got the better of them on their way to the Final in 2011.
While Castres' South African scrumhalf Rory Kockott scored 14 of their points, it was 35-year-old Fijian centre Seremaia Bai who dropped a rare goal on the stroke of half-time of extra-time that made the difference in the end.
World Cup winning Springbok Danie Rossouw has announced that he will retire from professional rugby at the end of the European season.
The versatile forward, who is equally at home at lock, flank or eighthman, will finish the season at RC Toulon before hanging up his boots.
Reigning champions Toulon will have a shot at becoming only the third team in Heineken Cup history to defend their title after they overcame Munster 24-16 in the second semi-final at Stade Velodrome, Marseille.
The only try of the game may have come in the second half from Munster wing Simon Zebo, but Toulon were never behind in a game which saw Jonny Wilkinson end with 21 points and Delon Armitage smash over a 55 metre penalty.
Saracens boss Mark McCall said "it does not really matter" who they face in the Heineken Cup final after a record-breaking win against Clermont Auvergne.
They set new semi-final marks for most points scored (46), most tries scored (six) and biggest winning margin (40), as they romped home 46-6 on Saturday.
The European Cup draws towards the Final with two french giants battling against the cream of the Irish and English leagues in the semifinals.
Reigning European Cup champions, Toulon, are aiming for a fourth European final in five seasons.
And although they are on the opposite side of the semifinal draw from French compatriots Clermont, successes for both of these teams could see a repeat of last years Final.
Last year's Final saw Toulon just pip Clermont by a solitary point.
Holders Toulon look set to be able to call on influential flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson and hooker Craig Burden for the European Cup semifinal against Munster.
The pair, out injured for the past two weeks, have reported fit and both turned out for training on Monday.
Springbok and Toulon lock Bakkies Botha has tweeted an X-ray showing nine steel pins inserted into a plate in his broken arm.
The Springbok and Toulon lock successfully underwent an operation to have a plate inserted in his arm after he broke it in Toulon's 23-10 Top 14 defeat against Brive.
Botha is expected be out for two-and-a-half months, and he has indicated that his rehabilitation is on track.
South African star Bryan Habana scored a try on his return to action after a three-month absence because of a hamstring injury as Toulon beat Bordeaux-Begles 22-20 in a thrilling Top 14 encounter on Saturday.
The 30-year-old – a World Cup winner in 2007 – touched down in the 66th minute as Toulon came from 20-9 down to prevail, largely thanks to 14 points from Frederic Michalak.
The tug of war regarding the premier club competition in European rugby has been conducted very publicly for a long time and a week ago it was reported that an announcement on the structure of future competitions was imminent. However, it all seems to have gone quiet and no final announcement has been forthcoming.
There are rumours that the Italian clubs and their representative bodies were needing to discuss a few details of what should otherwise be a done deal. Furthermore there is the question of the broadcasting battle between Sky and BT Sport which is apparently in the process of being sorted out with a joint broadcast agreement likely for next season. The final rumour is that the parties involved may not have wanted to make any announcements this week in the lead up to the quarter finals of the current Heineken Cup competition.
The Cheetahs are fighting tooth and nail to retain the services of Springbok flyhalf Johan Goosen, but know they are in a tough tug-o'-war.
Cheetahs backline coach Hawies Fourie, speaking to this website during the team's bye week, admitted they are aware of reports that Goosen has dashed off to France for talks about his future.

Elisabeth Röckel
Elisabeth Röckel (15 March 1793, baptised "Maria Eva", Neunburg vorm Wald – 3 March 1883, Weimar) was a German soprano opera singer and the wife of the composer Johann Nepomuk Hummel.
She was a friend of composer Ludwig van Beethoven from 1808. Late in 1810, she went to the theater in Bamberg where she made her stage debut as Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni and became a friend of the writer E. T. A. Hoffmann. It has been suggested that Beethoven wrote his famous Bagatelle No. 25 for piano, commonly known as "Für Elise", in the days of her departure from Vienna. It had the inscription "Für Elise am 27 April zur Erinnerung von L. v. Bthvn" (For Elise on 27 April in memory of L. v. Bthvn).[1] There is however no proof that Röckel was ever in the possession of the autograph of that piano piece and the identification is now being considered as untenable among Beethoven scholars.
During the days before Beethoven's death, she and her husband Hummel visited Beethoven several times, and cut and saved a lock of his hair. This was later discovered in 1934 in Florence by Wilhelm Hummel, a descendant of Johann Nepomuk Hummel. The lock of hair is now in the Beethoven House.
