:D HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CYRIC! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

NightLady finished the Saturday morning rune drop albeit a bit late, sorry. The repair deeds have been partially restocked .... thought I'd give ya'll something to do. I'm marking new runes now. On that topic, could we maybe add to the house names to include BOD Vendor Mall or BOD Specialists or something like that? Love the "House of Pancakes" tho! As Arden suggested, maybe we can incorporate pancake/waffle flavors into our vendor names.

James, That is a very moving introspective on the far-reaching effects of this disease. Thank you for sharing it with us. I hope your Mother's condition continues to improve. Kudos to you for pursuing your education during these difficult times. I'm sure she's already proud of the man you have become.

That's great news about your mother, James. I hope she continues to recover and is soon back home. You've got quite a bit on your plate. If you just need to unwind, maybe take your mind off your worries for a short while, give a holler. I'd be glad to partner up with you to see what manner of mischief we can discover. Best wishes to you and your family.

On the UO U. Hall forum, Leurocian (Designer, Ultima Online) didn’t really give a hint, yet…. Player Comment: They are talking about some sort of "advanced spawner" system, we can hope that has a similar sort of process. Perhaps like mini-champ spawns, the more you kill, the spawn can increase in toughness, who knows. Response: Interesting idea... *whistles innocently and then goes back to lurking* - Leurocian Designer, Ultima Online Live

You are the Diplomat! Whether a politician, mediator, bard, or advisor, your greatest asset is your wit and tactical skill. You primarily focus on interaction between players and NPCs, and often find a way to give the group a crucial edge or a nonviolent way through a problem. You often make a skillful leader.

I can't get the link to work. So I tried thehonorempire.net and got this: thehonorempire.net coming soon! This page is parked FREE at GoDaddy.com! Is it just that the down time is taking longer than expected?

"Archers can now move immediately after firing." :bow: *breaks out into the happy Archer dance* :bow:

We've got the gorget and tunic.

We shall keep the home fires burning in your absence and our eyes on the horizon, hoping for your return. You will be greatly missed, brother.

Lady Ulanie tells me the stacks of ore are growing nicely. As of this writing, they have 48k of Dull Copper 49k of Shadow 18k of Copper 22k of Bronze 17k of Gold 29k of Agapite 35k of Verite 21k of Valorite She and Chloe had a good time last night helping out the many miners gathered together for this purpose, calling up ore elementals, and meeting some very nice people. Maybe, for a change of pace, we can send some warriors to Elemental Valley? Anybody up for that?

Outside Dungeon Wrong, there are platforms for each known type of ore and this book: "Friends, I am working on creating a new type of ore elemental. In order to create this new elemental, I need a special elemental of each type. These special elementals are created from a stack of 60,000 units of ore. Once I have these 8 ore elementals, I will be able to create my new Solunite Elemental. I don't have much to offer now, but once I sell this creature, I will be rich. Jonathan Falen"

No. 5 ... Interaction with others of the UO Community. I voted for Doom as well.

Congratulations, Balandar!

The Council of HONOR meeting, rescheduled from June 9, was called to order at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time on June 13. Council members in attendance were Emperor Logan, Senator of War Steel DarKnight, Senator of Trades Rusty, Senator of Espionage Cyric Rallathil, and Head of State Kaatya. Pater Imperium Borg, Ancient Martok, and Ancient Balandar also attended the meeting. There being four voting members and the Emperor present, a quorum was declared. The first Resolution to be considered had been submitted by Emperor Logan. PROPOSED RESOLUTION: (Amendment to Codex, Article VI, Section 2, Paragraph ii) The voting privilege will be extended to the Praetorian Prefect only in instances where a quorum cannot be established due to the absence of a Senator or the Head of State. DISCUSSION: Senator Steel stated that the Praetorian are charged with the enforcement of guild standards and the Codex. Do we wish to push "politics" onto the role of the Praetorian; this would create a definite conflict of interest. Pater Borg remarked that the Senator of War, the Senator of Espionage, and Praetorian Prefect are advisors to the Emperor in the WAR Oversight Committee. If the Praetorian Prefect had the power to vote when the Council was considering a move to WAR, it could lead to claims of war mongering. The Praetorian are not politicians; they are the arm of policies that the Council and Emperor need enforced. Emperor Logan said that a few days ago, after reading a post on this Resolution by the good Senator DarKnight, he realized it was not applicable. The exact quote was "can't mix policing with politics". Kaatya commented that she felt the purpose of the Resolution had been an attempt to solve the problem the Council had had establishing a quorum in recent meetings; and suggested that the Council continue to look for solutions, possibly considering a reduction in the number of voting members from four to three. Senator Cyric asked if absentee voting could be considered. There being no further discussion, a vote was taken. The Resolution failed three votes to one. ========================================= The second Resolution to be presented had been submitted by Head of State Kaatya. PROPOSED RESOLUTION: (amendment to Codex, Article VI, Section 2, Paragraph ii) The Emperor holds tie-breaking vote and has the power to veto any Resolution. Such veto can be over-ridden by a unanimous vote of the Council. Pater Imperium holds absolute veto power which cannot be over-ridden. Emperor Logan stated that since his early days as a Guardian, this policy had always been in place. By error of omission, it was not included in the most recent writing of the Codex. So, if this is the case, he sees no need for a Resolution. Kaatya advised that she submitted the Resolution because she could not find veto powers included in the Codex. She withdrew her Resolution based on the comments of the Emperor. Pater Borg announced that he and the Ancients would scrutinize the Codex to determine that nothing else was missing and would advise the Council of any corrections that were needed. ========================================= There being no other Resolutions to be considered, the official Council meeting was adjourned. All those in attendance remained to discuss the application for guild membership recently submitted by a former Guardian.

I think that's Harbor, James.

I am sure I shall always remember this past week; the peaks and valleys of emotion as we watched so many pay tribute to a truly remarkable man and express their heartfelt sympathy to his family and our country. Even in his passing, President Reagan was able to rekindle the patriotic spirit of the American people. May he now rest in peace with the Father, free of the debilitating disease that held him captive. God bless Ronald Reagan.

Happy Birthday, Earwen! Hope you have a great day! Watch out for that approaching 0, tho!

Welcome to the family, brother!

Wolf, you have done another magnificent job! Omi is honored to be included in one of your masterpieces and wishes to thank you for depicting her as the hitter, not the hittee.

Welcome to the family, brothers!

Cort Malic has requested help in developing armor for the Royal Britannian Guard. The details were found in a book in the Guard Offices: "The time has come for the Royal Guard to be properly dressed. I am calling upon the master craftsman of our lands to design a proper uniform. The uniform should contain at least a full suit of armor and the Royal Guard sash should be visible over the top. Extra cloths or caps are optional. All pieces should be handcrafted; no artifacts or special armor pieces should be included. The suit can contain gauntlets, however I will not wear them. Weapons and shields should not be part of the uniform. Other than that, the uniform design is up to the craftsmen. On the first day of the week, after the supper meal (Sunday 4:30 CST) the completed designs should be presented at the Castle. The designers should be wearing the completed design" That's tomorrow afternoon --- so any smiths or tailors interested in heeding this call had best get to work today!

Feh! Just had to tell him, did you??? There goes Omi's advantage! *waves Good-Bye to it*
