s o u l s t o n e .. which warrior will i hire to fetch one for me?

Haha! I said this would be an INTER-guild competition.. not an INNER-guild competition.. The idea has been presented to T9C. They are also excited about this prospect. Concerning the time designation. One of the rules has been modified to allow the competition to last for 2 hours, after which, the guild with the most pieces standing -claims victory. I have sent a message to Borg, we will need to verify the ability to issue the war command.

Let it be known that.. one mystery of Cheblis's possession has been revealed.. When Cheblis issued the emote: "Stares into the Eyes of: (Name)" You will then be under his power of control -and an enemy to PGoH. At that time you must wear a Red Cape. So be sure to have one on you at all times. The only way to be released from this control is to Die and then be Ressurected. With the analyzation of Strider.. The clue: Lich Lord of Covetous was revealed.

Cheblis and I are meeting in Chesapeake at the Sweet Dreams Inn: 6:00 PM CST (4:00 PM PST, 7:00 PM EST, 12:00 AM Thurs GMT, 11:00 AM Thurs AEDT).

Last last night, a brutal attack was reported within the mother city of Trinsic. A courier named Morris had delivered a note to Olympus stating that Emissary Cheblis was found almost lifeless along the shores of Trinsic beach. Around the victim: bite marks and vials of blood were to be found. Pride and Wolf immeadiately assisted with transfering Cheblis to the infirmary where, thanks to the healing expertise of Pride, he was recovered. Wolf travelled quite swiftly to the east bank of Trinsic. An investigation. Arriving immeadiately to the scene: Gratton, Lora De Blood, Wolf, Steel Darknight, Martok, Kurt, Ballyn, SerBrightblade.. and eventually Cheblis. The command was issued and soon teams were sent to patrol the city streets. First to be found were vials of blood and blackmoore inside of the Paladin Library and then books with odd writings in them. I could not deceifer their markings but they were writen with blood. Oddly enough, Lora De 'Blood', later was able to decode one of them, and from it she read: "Send no more into the sands." I would then be partnered with the patrolling group lead by Wolf, followed by Kurt then Gratton. We were near the south banks when we encountered an odd fellow by the name of Peyton. Wolf started to question him, but he was vague and resisted. Within moments, Peyton had elluded us, and we were on the run to the West Bank. There were met up with the other patrolling groups. We decided to all make way to the Barracks, as Gratton had reported odd pieces of armor. Right before we reached the Barracks, we again saw Peyton on the walkway-overpass. I have never seen our Guardians descend onto anyone with such agility and effectiveness. Peyton was soon surrounded. I climbed the walkway and started to question him, he then claimed that this matter was out of my juristiction as Governor. It then occured to me, that he must be familiar with the empire. Not only was he familiar with the empire, but familiar with our ranks. His knowledge was outdated though, since my promotion from Nicomedia to Illycium did include the city of Trinsic. After some unanswered questions, he requested to speak with Lora De Blood, pointing out the change in her badge. Wolf was relluctant, but soon agreed after a White Dragon was summoned for Lora's protection. Leaving Peyton and Lora on the walkway, we all made our way to the Barracks. We started to discuss the events of the evening, when I suddenly lost mental connection with Lora. We all flew through the doorways and down to the overpass, only to find that Peyton and Lora were missing. Wolf immeadiately issued an order to scan the area. I recoiled and requested that we not split up, but he was already clear out of sight. Along with Steel and Ballyn, we eventually found Lora and Peyton sitting quite calmly at the Inn located near the city gates. When asked, Lora responded that she was alright. At that point, the troop started to disperse thinly and I couldn't match wits with the people present. We all eventually reconvened at the Barracks, where Steel mentioned the importance of PGoH regional pride and how we should reclaim Trinsic before it all but fades away. The troop decided to call it a night, with many questions left unanswered as to who the assailant was, what was Peyton's part in all of this, and what those messages in the book meant. Most of the guardians had decided to settled into the local inn. I had recommended to Ballyn and Gratton, a fabulous tavern called the: Mystical Spirits (far east in the town of of Nu'jelm), they agreed to accompany. We arrived we were soon greeted by Tom, the grascious barkeep of that establishment, when a pidgeon with feathers stained in blood landed at my feet. Around its neck it carried a note of importance. I had immeadiately recognized the markings of SteelDarknight, it read: "Governor.. I have just found Emissary Cheblis, he was huddled in a corner of one of the rooms, knawing at a piece of raw meat. Our efforts to contain him are failing, please come immeadiately." Unfortunately, when I arrived, the Emissary was nowhere to be found. Ballyn has remained on guard-duty at Olympus all night to patrol the local areas. I took the long road to Yew to seek out the Emissaries home: deep inside the woods of Yew. What I found there would change the fate of the Emissary forever. 67o 3'N, 22o 21'W

That's correct Martok, the strongest or wisest player shall rule the battlefield. I have also finished with that page please refer there for player roster and rules.

Fellow Guildmates! In the days to come, please stay tuned. The formulation of a PVP Chess Tournament is to come into creation. I will soon create a separate page that will contain rules and the sort. So far here is what I have: :::Rules::: (1) All moves are final. (2) No healing (3) No summoning (4) No magical items (5) All warriors must wield kite shield (6) Mage always casts attacking or defending spells first. (7) The first move shall be determined by dice: Odds=Red, Even=Blue (8) An attacking spell is when a mage casts a spell on the opponent whose square they are trying to get to. (9)A defending spell is when a mage casts a spell on the opponent who is trying to move into their square. (10) When it is your teams turn to move, your King or Queen must call out your move by use of coordinates (B2:B3, D3:D4, etc.) :::Team Components::: (A) One referee from each guild. (B) Each guild forms two Parties consisting of: First Party - 1-king, 1 rook, 1 knight, 1 bishop, 4 pawns. Second Party - 1-queen, 1 rook, 1 knight, 1 bishop, 4 pawns. Queen and King may contact each other via pidgeon to discuss strategy. :::Player Components::: (for each guild team) 1 -The King (Warrior Only) Full plate armor (red or blue cape and doublet) Any choice of weapon 1 -The Queen (Warrior or Mage) Full leather armor (red or blue cape and fancy dress) If warrior, any choice of weapon If mage, can cast four attacking or defending spells 2 -Rook (Mage Only) Can cast multiple number of offending spells in correlation to spaces moved, cannot cast defending spells. Full leather armor (Must hold spell book, red or blue doublet) 2 -Knight (Warrior Only) Resistant to all magic. Full chainmail Armor, (Must wield sword, horse, red or blue doublet) 2 -Bishop (Mage Only) Can cast three attacking or defending spells Full leather armor (red or blue robe) 8 -Pawns (Warrior Only) Full ringmail armor, any choice of weapon (red or blue doublet) This will of course take place at the Nu'jelm Chess Board. I am not sure if this should take place in Trammel or Felucca. I am not sure if temporary war status should be issued for this event. Let me hear all of your opinions and suggestions! Thanks.

ahh! 250th post!

Congradulations on your 200th post Prometheus.

The only reason I would pre-order is for that funky shroud... you?

Hello, I have finally upgraded from ICQ Express to Trillian! Unfortunately, my contact list has not transferred over. I have most of your contact information, but if you'll please send me a message so that I might add those who have not already been added. Thank you.

We are aware of a method in-game that allows a character to broadcast speech over a certain distance, making it appear in the bottom-left of one’s screen similar to a system message. Some players have been calling this “the broadcast bug.” While we understand some players may be doing this without malicious intent, this is not an intended use of game mechanics, and is considered an exploit. Do NOT use this exploit, even “just to see what happens.” Even simply testing the broadcast bug is considered a major violation of the rules of Ultima Online, and those players found using this exploit can be banned. To be clear: Any use of the broadcast bug is a very serious offense, and any player found using it may be banned. Although the results of our anti-exploit efforts are not always publicized, you can be sure that we are consistent in our enforcement of the Terms of Service and the Rules of Conduct. When we address exploits in the game, we also do everything we can to get reliable information on who was using those exploits — and those people are then removed from the game permanently. We do have the ability to track the use of exploits, and because our goal is to ensure a quality game for all our players, we take full advantage of that ability. Also keep in mind that our records do not take into account player intent, which means that a player who tries out an exploit “just to see if it works” may well find themselves suspended. Ultimately, the best advice is to not use exploits at all if you value your Ultima Online game account. Don't assume that we will take no action simply because you've heard of someone else using an exploit and getting away with it. If you are unsure as to whether something is considered illegal in Ultima Online, we encourage you to send us a question through our RightNow Web support database at http://support.uo.com, or page a GM in-game if it is an urgent matter. Also remember that it is possible to be suspended for remaining in a guild that actively engages in violations of the Terms of Service Agreement or the Rules of Conduct, which includes sharing information about or abusing bugs and exploits in the game. By remaining in a group that engages in these types of activities, you subject yourself to the possibility of a group punishment. http://update.uo.com/fyi.html

har! i just posted the same idea. that is what i get for not reviewing before posting.

After our discussions last night, might it be alright if we do not introduce those subjects into tonights meeting? I think it might be a good thing. What do you think?

It was a somber evening as one guild mate after another filled the halls of Olympus. The floor was directed towards both Kodoz and Rand. Kodoz has claimed that he was blacklisted, wrongfully demoted and punished without due cause. He stated that his unruly behavior was only the result of Rands "iron fist," and that he was only responding to unruly behavior aimed at himself. It was later revealed that Rand had used a Praetorian to kill Kodoz. Brightblade then pointed out that the use of Praetorians can only be sanctioned after a triumvirate. Questions were soon directed to Rand as to why he illegally called upon them to dispatch Kodoz. SerBrightblade, then mentioned that Praetorians may dispatch guild members who deem themselves hostile and unruly. Rand then stated that Kodoz was arguing and using non-physical aggression because he was demoted. Under article IV of the codex it states who may command Praetorians, the Senator of War is not one of them. Rand had stated that he has completely followed the rules regarding the procedures and practices of the codex, except for the single instance when he called upon the Praetorians. He continued to mention that he stands behind his actions and that Kodoz and Bill acted only the way they did because Kodoz had been demoted. Immediately followed, the meeting hall completely fell out of order. The conversation soon became heated, and Emissary Cheblis was calling for order -with no luck. Bill had taken the floor and started yelling about inequalities. Aviana then stated that three senators agreed upon Kodoz's demotion. I did not fully follow the circumstances that followed, they happened so quickly. But within minutes, Senator Aviana had stormed out into the court-yard and Senator Rand had resigned (Rand later makes a public statement that he will not return to the guild, so long as Kodoz and Bill are still members). A brief intermission involved a reprimand from SerBrightblade to a new guild member. Leah then resigned from the guild and that is how the Kodoz/Rand incident ended. After Brightblade returned, he delivered a speech about guild coherence and how we all belong to something greater. Lora De Blood, had taken the floor and defended herself against the charges of treason. Brightblade stated that if Rand had not resigned, the charges of treason would have been valid. Lora continued to state how this was a misunderstanding and that she had not wanted it to end the way it did. At that moment, the celestial gods intervened and the sun set unexpectedly. I now question whether this meeting was beneficial or not. My intent was to being light to certain subjects in hope to diffuse them, and in some ways I feel they have diffused slightly. If I managed to omit anything, please contact me at: Pidgeon#52593817. I will gladly edit this post with corrected or additional information. The road is long, but I feel confidant that the Purple Guardians will prevail.

Greetings fellow guildmates. It has been brought to my attention a few matters that are brewing within the guild. Some of the issues that I'd like to cover tonight will revolve around rumor control and current events. Regarding accusations of treason, blacklisting, etc. It is imperative that you take an active role as an informed member of the empire. As a governor to the empire it is my imperial duty and right to address these concerns. I hereby request an "emergency meeting tonight" for 8:00pm EST at Olympus. I also request that appropriate members of the Head of State and appropriate officials be present. Your attendance is vital in the hope that this dispute can be finalized, in the name of rumor control and containment. Thanks.

"gobbel-dy-gook"

You know I cannot accept such generosity! Do not worry, gold shall flow through my pocketes in due time. I am absolutely sure of it. I thank you for your sincerity and convictions..

Greetings friends, It is now 11:30pm EST. I have unfortunately missed tonights meeting. From what I have heard it was something extraordinary. Know in your hearts that I tried my very best to attend, but the events that occured tonight were beyond my control. It all started yesterday at around 6:30pm EST, my friend Diane had just purchased the newest Spode Stafford Flower set from Fortunoff and she had invited me and a few of our friends over for some introductions with coffee and pastries. Well, since I just turned only twenty-two recently, I thought I'd ride my bike to her house, just for the fun-youthfulness of it. The entire ride takes only about fifty-minutes. All was fun and pleasant, her new set was well received. Time sure does fly by quickly because, before I knew it -it was already well over 3:00am EST. I explained to my friends that I had rode my bike and they insisted that I didn't ride in the cold weather.. so they drove me home, and I left my bike at Dianes house. Fast forward twenty-four hours. I called Diane early this afternoon and told her that I would drop by today to pick up my bike. The plan was set in motion. At around 3:00pm EST -I jumped on the bus, then the subway, then another bus, and I was finally at the doorway of Dianes.. only to find more friends, coffee and pastries! When I finally got to checking the time it was already 10:00pm EST! I have just finally arrived at home. The trek took longer than usually because of the weather in New York City. So thats my story, and I'm sticking to it. Please accept my apologizes for not attending, I look forward to seeing all of you soon, and I hope that someone will fill me in on what I have missed. Thank you!

Hello Travellers, It is a unfortunate time for the House of Thiork, since the loss of my two million in gold, I have fallen into bad times of finance. The tax collectors have come and claimed all to my name except for: 1 - Single Candle that rests in a single candle stick holder. 1 - Valorite Dragon Scale Suit. 1 - Keg filled with approx: 1 expert, 7 plain, 6 adept, and 4 clever treasure maps. You may purchase this at any fair price. Pidgeon:52593817

Har! Yea. Im really happy with the tree also!

*wipes sweat off face* after much processing of the keyboard and digits.. i present to you a PGoH Tree of Magical Member Hierarchy and Entitlement! Please let me hear your suggestions and recommendations.. corrections and all sorts of weirdo questions and ideas. Thank You! http://www.geocities.com/thiork/tree.html

From my experiences from visiting various guilds in the realm, I have noticed two guild-organization-structures that are different from PGoH. (a)The majority of the guilds have only one leader: their guildmaster. This person is usually present to conduct all of their meetings, the generator and leader of their guild activities (ie, hunts, etc), and usually performs stonework immeadiately following each weekly meeting. This person is the consistent figure of attention and direction for guildmates to follow. PGoH is different in that, we have many different leaders to look to depending on our class within the empire. Our weekly meeting is also conducted by the highest ranking member present. The direction will vary each week depending on who is leading the meeting. Might it be possible to elect One Consistant Figurehead, who is available to be in-game regularly? This person will be reponsible for delivering the meeting, co-organizing events, and perhaps have the ability to perform stonework. (b)I have noticed that other guilds are consistantly looking to their fellow guildmates for activity and entertainment -with solid meeting places and methods of activity. They either have a set time each night to meet somewhere to hunt or gather, or a specific day and time, each week, that is set aside for the entire guild to particpate in a guild-wide event -such as a treasure hunt or champion spawns. It is usually the guildmaster who is the person to lead this event. I believe that all guild members in PGoH are responsible for organizing hunts, etc. So perhaps we can establish a time each night? or a time and day each week for gathering? This specific period of time will be a consistant event for guild cohesion, whether or not it is lead by one individual or many -as long as it is consistent. ©A tree! Perhaps a guild family tree can be created. I have noticed that most other guilds that employ class-societal-structure-concepts have a tree in place. This tree contains the names of each member and the class that they are in. This tree prevents guild members from feeling confused about their roles within their respective guilds. If PGoH were to create this tree, perhaps there might be less confusion about leaders, path and responsibilities. I would be more than happy to develop an outline of this idea, and will re-post/ply with my findings. That's about it, I think. Concerning the House of Representatives Idea.. I think it would be viable to have a council of members who might meet each week or any other consistent time.. to discuss guild issues. But it may be easier just to designate leadership to an individual who has the ability to CHANGE thigns within the guild.. with of course the approval of the guild in whole. That's about it.

Fellow Travellers, All this week be sure to check me out, presenting.. proper behavior that is NON-condusive to a stable and productive Roleplay Enviroment. For seven days only I shall demonstrate proper behavior that is not suitable for a Roleplaying Guild. WoOT!
