Chris

In order to form a T.H.E. branch in City of Heroes we will need a leader and a name. Post ideas here. >:L

We need to figure out which of you will be leading the guild as soon as possible so everything will be squared away and ready when the time comes.

Now the only question is whether I'd rather cancel Everquest or SWG

I've decided I'll be playing CoH when it comes out (leaning toward Virtue for the rp)

*fights the temptation to try it* Do you go splat when you leap from tall buildings?

Happy birthday Lora

Here's an email I received describing a plot that one of the Assistant National Storytellers of the Camarilla released as a start to what's going on. I'd hate to have my character caught in the same state as this guy and it's only the BEGINNING of what's gonna be happening. ---------------- > IC Date: Tuesday January 25th, 2004 8:50 pm Eastern > > > [OOC: The following occurs on the Nationally > televised show: "Hour of > Reckoning".

EA emailed me again saying they need the last gametime code I used before they can help me. I never used a friggin gametime code!

I've found my registration code and requested a new password (and of course the information needed to throw that bum in the slammer )

Well, I was going to reactivate my account for a bit and sneak over to Olympus to see what kind of trouble I could stir up, but then I heard that my main character was sighted in game yesterday. The account management page isn't accepting any of my passwords though MyUO seems to be unaffected. The following characters (some may still carry PGoH tags) are on the account: 1)Jaefeth 2)Chris 3)Galanor 4)Anfalas 5)Ayden D'Amavir If you see any of these characters and are able to kill them, please do so.

happy birthday *wanders off again*

Which Princess Bride Character are You? this quiz was made by mysti

this is actually a game i'd like to play on the side. I loved the variety of what you could do on UO, but the game format was just holding it back way too much.

Contacting random people like that can work out good if you take the time to talk to them and find out what their goals and playstyles are. Probably the biggest advice I personally can give is keep your command structure adjusted to fit your current size. Also, do everything in your power early on to encourage guildmates to group together in their everyday activities and there will probably never be complaints about the guild as a whole not doing enough.

TIKRIT, Iraq (CNN) -- After nine months of scurrying from house to house, Saddam Hussein appeared to be a tired, resigned man who offered no resistance when U.S. troops extracted him from a hole in a rural farmhouse Saturday afternoon. L. Paul Bremer, head of the Coalition Provisional Authority, announced Sunday morning, "Ladies and gentlemen, we got him." The audience responded with cheers, and Iraqis took to Baghdad streets dancing, doling out candy and firing rifles into the air. But in Tikrit -- Saddam's ancestral home town and a base of loyalty to him -- the streets were quiet. Coalition video showed the ventilated "spider hole" six to eight feet underground where Saddam was hiding with two other men who have not yet been identified. The video showed Saddam with graying hair and a long beard, undergoing a medical examination after his capture. A spokesman for the Iraqi Governing Council said DNA tests had confirmed Saddam's identity. Several Iraqi journalists stood up and shouted "Death to Saddam" after the video was shown. "I'm very happy for the Iraqi people. Life is going to be safer now," 35-year-old Yehya Hassan, a resident of Baghdad, told The Associated Press. "Now we can start a new beginning." And in Kirkuk, Mustapha Sheriff told the Associated Press, "We are celebrating like it's a wedding. We are finally rid of that criminal." (Full story) The 66-year-old longtime Iraqi leader was number one on the coalition's 55 most wanted list, and his evasion has been a political sore spot for the U.S. administration. (Saddam profile) Raid in rural town Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who leads coalition troops in Iraq, said the former leader was uninjured, "talkative and cooperative," after 4th Infantry Division and Special Operations forces nabbed him in Operation Red Dawn. "Today is a great day for the Iraqi people and the coalition," Sanchez said. About 600 4th Infantry Division soldiers and Special Operations forces conducted the raid in Adwar, near a compound of ramshackle buildings about 9 miles outside Saddam's hometown of Tikrit, Saturday night. The raid was based on intelligence that Saddam was at a particular location in the area, the officials said. Forces arrived at the location within three hours of receiving a tip from an Iraqi, and Saddam had no time to move to another location. The U.S. forces moved easily into the area where there were no security forces to protect the ousted leader. Saddam, thin, dirty and hiding in the cellar of mud hut, willingly identified himself to interpreters. He was wearing a white T-shirt, dark trousers and a long-sleeved dark shirt. Video following that raid -- exclusively shot by CNN's Alphonso Van Marsh -- showed a group of U.S.-led coalition soldiers patting each other on the back -- apparently in celebration -- and taking group photos in front of a military vehicle. Sanchez said Operation Red Dawn targeted two locations and troops began a "cordon and search" operation when they failed to find Saddam initially. The ventilated "spider hole," its entrance camouflaged with bricks and dirt was near one of the locations. "He was a tired man," the general said. "Also, I think, a man resigned to his fate." Sanchez said the hole where forces found Saddam was wide enough for a man to lie down in, with a fan and a air hole. Preparing for retaliation Adnan Pachaci, a member of the Iraqi Governing Council, said Saddam would be tried for his crimes against Iraqis, and would be tried by Iraqis. "The terrorist, Saddam Hussein, the biggest terrorist on earth, has been arrested," said Hamid Ali al-Kifaey. "He will be tried before a special court in Iraq soon. With his arrest the Iraqi people will begin a new life, and hopefully they will have a democratic and pluralistic system and no more mass graves, and no more Saddam Hussein and no more terrorism." A senior U.S. official told CNN's Dana Bash in Washington that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told President Bush on Saturday afternoon (EST) of the capture. The Iraq war began on March 19 when U.S. forces launched a "decapitation attack" aimed at the Iraqi president and other top members of the country's leadership. Hours after the capture -- but before it was announced -- a car bomb exploded outside an Iraqi police station in Khaldiyah, killing at least 10 Iraqis and wounding 20 others, most of them policemen, U.S. officials said. Iraqi officials reported a higher casualty toll. (Full story) "Do I expect an increase in retaliation?" as a result of Saddam's capture, Sanchez asked. "I don't know. I couldn't answer that, but I will tell you we are prepared, and we will defeat those elements if they choose to attack us at any point in time." CNN Senior Military Affairs Correspondent Jamie McIntyre and CNN Baghdad Bureau Chief Jane Arraf contributed to this report.

And yet there is no reason whatsoever to dismiss the idea of having a T.H.E. clan form in one of these competetive games. It doesn't have to have any of the old members in order to be a part of T.H.E.

Og say dems am urkies

Og hab dems cold chair thingie now

We should try THE as our abbreviations since not everyone will want to play orcs. Also, there's nothing that says a game has to be an MMORPG to have a full-fledged T.H.E. guild/clan on it :torch: I think Warcraft 3 would be a good place to start our expansion into the various game types.
