Exactly Lora As far as respecting leaders this is your duty as a Guardian of Honor. This isnt to say you cant disagree with them or even seek to have a leader removed by open and constructive dialogue on the forum boards. This, coincidentally, is also how one would seek to institute other changes within the guild. Sooooooo Lets all get back to playing the game, lets all respect one another and for the sake of my everyone lets all act like the mature adults we are, or at least should be.

O.K. This is the first and last time I am going to make a post concerning this. This is the way its going to be, its the way things are outlined in the Codex and its the way this scenario was presented to me when it was approved. #1. If you haven't read the Codex let me know so I can demote you and you can be retrained as a legionnaire. If you have read the Codex and don't understand something let me know so it may be explained to you so that it is understood, and if necessary place you back as a legionnaire to once again undergo training in the methods and operation of the guild. If you don't give a flying (&*^ about the Codex let me know so I can remove you from the guild. #2. This scenario and any scenario or RP interaction from this point on should be handled in the following manner. - If you are role-playing something out make sure that you dont break character, make sure there is ample indication to those you are interacting with that you are role-playing something, and always if you wish to involve combat as part of your role-play make it clear beyond any doubt that there is alternative to battle. - If you come upon a role-played event (this goes for non guild events as well) you do not have to participate but you will not do anything to ruin the event/RP. You will follow the rules listed within the codex concerning proper behavior and engagement. If a guildmate is role-playing something and combat issues arise and you do not wish to partake; RP crying uncle, they will desist unless it is a scheduled RP event that has a defined start and stop time where battle is the explicit purpose. Should the latter be the case you should already be informed that this was to occur through the boards anyway and should take precautions to stay clear or in death robes as an observer. #3 These boards are not to be used for flame fests. The game is not to be used for flame fests. I dont wanna see that #### and the majority of people don't. Shout at each other in ICQ. #4 The Praetorian Prefect position is where the buck stops period. It is the responsibility of the one who holds that position to uphold the codex, to resolve questions of guilt and punishment when Senators have an issue within thier house, or outsiders bring issues to light. Currently the one in this position is me. And speaking from fact there is never more than a 12 hr period with which you can't reach me. Last nights events went on and not one person notified me. I don't care what nifty title you have you better #### well let me know whats going on for the record, especially when tempers are flaring and half the guild is ready to leave. If you dont like the post above tough. Its the way it is. If you dont like the way I hold my position of PP you can change that. Start a thread asking Borg to remove me from the position. I will continue to operate in the same unbiased manner I have been until I log in and see that my title has been removed. Lastly and this goes for everyone. Everything in life has rules, even games. The reasons for rules is so that people have clearly defined parameters with which to operate. Step out of those parameters and people get confused or upset or they get hurt. We had all of that happen last night. Why you ask? Because people couldnt read the boards, because people havent read the codex and maybe just maybe some people didnt give a #### about the feelings, wishes etc. of others. So PGoH. Knock it off get back to the game and get back to the scenario which for the most part people are enjoying. If you need anything my ICQ is on the roster.......perhaps I should start another thread once again about people getting on the roster, but of course everyone has already read and complied with that post because everyone reads the board and everyone wants to be part of the guild?!?! Right?

Dead = dead / deleted / gone forever Unconscious = lost life but will be ressed to fight another day Just a little something for those writing and participating in RP so there can be distinction. People have actually had their characters in rp plots die, as in they deleted them. Others have made the characters perma ghosts.......just things to think about for the truely die hard rpers. Great job so far guys. Wish work wasnt consuming me so I could partake in the fun.

I'd like to take a moment to say well done to Triston. His story on the story board is great. It is a shining example how a player can bring rp and story to his character to make meaningful events and bring meaning to his actions in game. It gives us the readers just enough information to know he might be considered an enemy of the Empire yet no clues as to how he will act or react. I cant wait to see how this is played out. Most certainly there will be some violence coming from this but I am happy to see there will be more to it than that. Violence without reason behind it quickly becomes dull. By adding backround and a history an playing it out interest is sparked and people look forward to encounters rather than abhoring them. Great job Triston. I can't wait to see if others will take your lead and bring some history and role-play into their gameplay.

Borg sat in his candlelit chambers awake yet unmoving. He was deep in thought. Most would have thought that he didnt notice the shadow enter the room but even he would prove the shadow incorrect as he turned his head ever so slightly and spoke. "This must be of some import for you to enter my chambers this late in the evening" said Borg There was no reply from the shadow only a scroll dropping to the floor and the rustle of draperies as the shadow began his escape act once again. Just before the shadow completely was lost it turned and said "The danger is great, I must get back to my post now. Prepare Emperor or we shall all be thrown into chaos and shadows." With that Borg unrolled the parchement and read what it contained. Raising an eyebrow he looked towards where the shadow had entered and left then thought to himself. "Why would our agent worry over a small group of people meeting in the Keg and Anchor?" "What danger could Marcus Agrippa and his band of Brigantes present the Empire?" "Perhaps it is time for some of us to attend the next meeting of these men and see what this is about." With that Borg rolled up the parchment gave it one last look and went back to studying the runic carvings which had been brought to him earlier this night by Anaflas. Evil was in the air indeed and now this, a peasant uprising occuring, yet Borg could not shake the feeling that perhaps this was a bit more than a few peasants getting together and shouting. Yes perhaps the legion and some of the loyal realm citizens should attend a meeting and see exactly what this fuss is all about. ********************** Please note this is a prelude to upcoming events. Hints have been given Guardians. Be vigilant and use the clues within to continue discovering more. You requested role-play, you requested mystery, you requested some PvP within the guild. This is you chance use it well. As always remember inside the walls of Safe Haven all are safe but once out of her body and off her steps all are fair game again. Remember as well not every encounter will be about combat. Perhaps some may even find a way out of combat when there is no other choice, but how that is done is for you to discover and not for this post to tell. Enjoy PGoH!

It certainly beats standing downwind from Wolf on one of his good days

Hail Allies and friends! The Guardians of Light monthly Second Sunday Trade day is this Sunday 5 to 7 pm est, town hall, Guardian City. For details and coordinates, link here: Second Sunday Trade Day Seven of Nine Diplomat, GoL

*rubs the bald head for good luck* :biggrinSmurf: Hang in there bud. Your hard work will pay off you are too good of a person not to have all that karma pay off for you. Make sure to have a blast on Thanksgiving and have a few pops while watching the games! BB

Great job!

I tried RW a long time ago and just didnt like it....it broke up a lot even on cable. Maybe its better now....anyone know?

Wow sounds like fun. Lucky me Sunday is a workday so once again im SOL. I hope plenty of people show up for this it sounds like fun. Also, since I cant be there, Ill toss in another 25k that can be added as reward. Logan try to get in touch with me the next few days to collect that. -BB

O.K. a few comments on guild meetings. First to all who attend them on a regular basis thanks. To all who honestly try to attend them thank you To all who cant due to real life constraints, worry not reality always comes first. To those who are in game during meeting times and choose not to appear this is your choice. I would urge you to come to those meetings though. It is an opportunity to directly influence the way in which the guild functions and without member input problems might not be isolated and changes instituted to make the guild a better place for all. Meetings hopefully will run more smoothly. Ill be speaking with all leadership about getting a format set up as to allow for there to be a rotation among guild leadership to run meetings. This will eliminate one leader from getting bogged down as well as allow leaders to sit in the audience and hopefully get a better grasp on what the general membership needs/desires. Its very hard to run a meeting, touch on all points for the agenda of that meeting and pay attention to all that is being said.... Keep the faith PGoH. Remember this week we discussed some changes including Aviana taking Senator of Arcane seat that was offered to er by Borg before real life took her from us for several months, Rand stepping forward to see SoW seat (objections or praise to this should be posted if you have something constructive to say otherwise it looks like leadership will have no issue with this). I announced that leaders will be responsible for one planned romp/event a month. That any member may plan an event/romp. Events and Romps must have at least a 7 day notice and be posted on the announcement forum and listed on the calendar (you can do this while making your announcement post). All event/romp posts must include date/time location of start objective and if possible anticipated duration. 2 new positions are to be created within 2 months. They will be guild seer positions. Those who prove that they can organize and run events will be given those titles. Those who become seers will be charged with running guild scenarios/events so creative people are encouraged to look into this Lastly and I cant say it enough. Please participate in game and on the boards. If you have an issue for leadership bring it up here. Likely there are others who might shed light or agree with you. Leadership is not clarivoyant and cant help you (read guild) if you do not help them understand the issues of import to the general membership Strength and Honor -BB

Overall a good romp and much fun from what Ive heard. Closing thread.

Ill be around late night.....we will rectify this problem.

The clouds become lighter and sun begins to break over Olympus......a new day is dawning don't miss it.

Well not really....turned out to be Borg He is doing well and passed welll wishes onto the guild. Life is hard right now and hes covering for several managers whose positions need to be refilled at his place of work. On top of only having only 2 days off for the next month+ he is having serious internet issues making even web browsing difficult. Rest assured PGoH he is thinking of you and hopes you keep the faith, he will be back as soon as he can. Until that time please continue to use the proper channels to do things within guild and contact me for stonings/title changes etc. after speaking with Steel! Also rumored to be about again is Rand......Ive yet to see him though, lets hope there is validity to this rumor! -BB

I think this could be fun. I think that the Senators and other voting leadership should think about this. I will however suggest that maybe a trail is done, or one announced day a week be tried. Also given the lore of Safe Haven I would prefer to keep it a non-combat area but if the leadership of the guild sees fit to adopt this proposal and include the hallowed halls of the Inn, then it will be made so. Thanks for the great ideas Kentaro! It is truely good to see a breath of fresh air blowing through the Empire!

Sounds like fun. Count me in.

Yesterday PGoH's own Neo and his partner Salvatore clinched the duealist title for the Catskills shard. Well done guys! May Honor Guide and Bind thee!

I think I can make this (barring my wife saying no ) I will commit to providing gates to start the romp with BB and barring the evil wife MOB keeping me from staying in game longer, I will stay for the duration of the romp I can also get the Nets and MIBs to the Admiral this week so look for me!!

Catskills Monday, Oct. 28th 4:00pm CST (10:00pm GMT/UTC) Thats when the event is taking place. That gives but a few short days for any members participating to hone their skills and prepare for the enusing battles. Unfortunately I work through Tuesday but I think it would be great if we as a guild would step forward and help train those going to the event. Maybe do some 3 on 2 so they have to fight with extremely adverse conditions. Do some all mage or all melee. Lets support our guys and gals stepping forward. Maybe someone can set up a time and a place for such a thing to happen.

Once again I will not be able to make it. Between work and family I'm being run ragged at the moment. Hopefully a good number of people are still making it to meetings and keeping things rolling. If people need stonework and Borg is not available drop me an email or icq and I will handle it tommorow or Tuesday. I also will be presenting the nets and SoS bottles collected sometime this week when the proper parties are online so that a Naval excercise can be scheduled.

I found a nice katana of power for you since you said you had lost your weapon. Catch me in game and I'll see you get it

Any chance you can get discounts for good friends The new Mac and OS is pretty nice from what I hear
