Oi!!! We were so busy guarding our southern border ....

we should have known to expect an invasion from the

north!

Welcome to Texas, Martok!!!!

Charlie, be not afraid.

I have battled depression for many years,

but foolishly thought I could conquer it by

myself. About a year ago, I finally took

my doctor's advice and started taking my

meds (Paxil) on a regular basis. It has

made all the difference for me in my ability

to focus on tasks, enjoy the things in my

life, and have an optimistic outlook.

There is sunshine behind those clouds,

and I hope you find it soon. *hugs*

A nondescript gardener wordlessly delivers a basket of fresh-cut blossoms to Olympus. The ever-vigilant Tod inspects the gift, searching for any ill omens. He withdraws a cleverly concealed note bearing Kaatya's mark. The parchment is secured for presentation to the guild.

Had Tod not resisted the urge to open it himself, he would have read:

"Dearest Guardians, I have left you in form but not in spirit. The malaise that has plagued me 'lo these many months has caused me great puzzlement and must be resolved.

Our former emperor and Senator of War were each subjected to prolonged torture, and tho rescued, they exist now in torment. The threat to the balance of our world is more pernicious than ever I have seen it.

If its source, strength and strategies are to be known, I must work from the shadows, incognito. Sadly, this means that my identity as a Guardian must be hidden from all. I dare not risk retribution upon you, my family, for my actions --- thievery, assassination, extortion, untruths, chicanery. And so, I go forth, asking for your prayers and that the gods watch over me.

Protect the balance, Guardians, as you always have. Even our Pain has value, for without it, how would we truly know our Pleasure."

Ever your sister,

Kaatya

Excellent information, Charlie!

I would add one caution to those new

to RP --- it's what I've heard called

Invasive RP. In other words, do not

RP something that dictates the actions

and/or words of another. Such as:

*Kaatya watches Charlie kick a dog in disgust*

or

*Kaatya reels in shock as Hudson blasphemes the Virtues*

Strength and HONOR!

Best wishes to you, Ariana,

as you step forward in a new

position of service to the

Guardians.

Strength and HONOR!

Gonna be a hectic weekend here.

Birthday party at Chuckie Cheese on Saturday

and another one on Sunday with the family.

My grand-daughter turns 4 on October 11. If

she hasn't worn me out, I'll sure try to make

the party.

STRENGTH & HONOR!

feh! My pen ran out of ink again.

Congratulations, Liadan!

Strength and HONOR!

Feh! Reading glasses. Feh!

Any chance they'll also have some hearing aids?

You know ..... for Hudson?

HUDSON!!!!!!

Dangit, that man gives me a sore throat.

Let's do it!!!!

Sorry I'm not a travel agent, tho.

Balandar: "I don't know what this is, but it's cool looking!"

One scoop Butter Pecan and

One scoop Chocolate Decadence (my absolute favorite).

*nods her head, certain that she has hit it on the button this time*

Thanks, BB.

Further delays, tho. PC won't boot up. Not sure if

it was the move or the tortuous experience of inserting

a memory stick. *displays the many cuts on her fingers*

Anyway, I'll have another go at it tonight or tomorrow and

hopefully join ya'll at Olympus soon.

Gotcha ..... thanks!

Sorry I haven't been around lately. My mother took ill

while on a trip to Phoenix and had to have a pacemaker

installed. I spent about 10 days out there, until she was

strong enough for the return flight to Texas.

For the foreseeable future, I'll be living with her, but won't

have DSL up at her house until later this week.

*does the computer connection happy dance*

PS. Never go to Phoenix in July .... temperatures were

106 to 117 while I was out there.

Link ---> Next UO Expansion

Will THE be offering this expansion for sale?

What's the status of our patient?

Fully recovered?

Congratulations on the addition to your family!

Hope both Mom and Lilly are doing well.

*flexes her thwapper*

Yay, Wolf!!!

*dances in anticipation*

Balandar --- ATI is not good? The guys at Best Buy

recommended it to me. What should I go with

instead? (I have a Sony VAIO system)

And could we pretty please get a "dancing" emoticon???

Just hate it when my friends get smacked with

the reality that we're all mortal. I was sorry to

hear of your suffering, Stan.

From what I understand, you live a fairly healthy

lifestyle. Hopefully, this will help hasten your

complete recovery. Hang in there, bud!

*starts a detailed inventory of Hudson's stuff*

Gomer???

RE: Call to War

(I hope this is the right thread to use for this, since

it is an OOC comment.)

Wolf, you have such a wonderful way of making the reader

experience what you write. Fantastic job!!! You make me

wish I was an orc.

Mmmmm....that was some of the best chocolate

I've ever had!

Thank you, Borg, from all three of us Texas gals.

Defeat would be devastating….the guildstone itself destroyed…disbanded and the house

that it resided in turned into a ruin PERMANENTLY. (loss of location to housing)

All items from destroyed house would be placed in a temporary caravan cart

and accessible by ex home owner/GM as if it was an IDOC house.

Are you proposing that guildstones be restored? Or would the devs simply

identify the house associated with the guildmaster's account? And if the guild

elects a GM with no house ..... no Wheel for you!?!?

Also, would we be able to choose our race affiliation, or would it be randomly

assigned to us?
