One of the important issues of successfully rising in the ranks of the Empire of HONOR is the understanding of the CODEX. This document was built by many members as a way to structure and handle issues that plague online gaming overall. The CODEX was themed and put into place and with that the guild has received many accolades for its depth and designs. Everyone in the Empire needs to understand its structure...for a Knights resposibility is to be the mentor of Squires and future recruitment comes from sponsorship by Knights. Knights are the hub of the guild and make up the most membership.....and future membership will come from. Legionnaires need to have begun to grasp the CODEX prinicpal sections and structures......this is a requirement and 50% of the way to promotion. ALL LEGIONNAIRES must complete the CODEX review.....regardless of activity or reputation. As time progresses.....the CODEX comes into clear focus as members age in the Empire...it is a large document but once grasp it seems so simple you will chuckle at thinking it was impossible to understand completely. MONDAY NIGHT AUGUST 19th 11pm EST.........Nujelm Chess Board Trammel. ALL existing LEGIONNAIRES are asked to attend and participate in this Review.

Do not think all things can be riden. Do think all things may be hostile.

Do you normally hunt primarily in the Trammel or Felucca dungeons? Primarily in Trammel and Ilshenar. 100% of the reason is that events can be conducted and rewards for the participating members of the events will nearly every time will be secured and not looted or lost due to an antisocial crashing the event. It is one thing to roleplay a murderous brigand......but the last roleplayed such I have seen was in 1998.....since then the kewl doodish speach or namesakes have nearly consumed the mindset of the red players. In turn it is that same sadness that we cannot work with in Trammel........a roleplaying red. (this was the basis of my proposal for guildstone alligence to monster factions.....to allow reds in Trammel in certain areas claimed by monster races....alligence with a monster race would flag you red in thier capital areas only) Do you feel that the power scrolls have provided enough of an incentive to bring you to Felucca dungeons? No. No reward will ever overcome or be incentive enough to regularily put up with other customers running wildly throughout the dugeons like chimpanzees on a triple expresso and shot of steriod enhancing powerade......now that they gain nothing from killing another player who is for whatever reason there.....and in my case roleplaying an event perhaps for several other players or the shard......the new timer delay completely obliterates all chance and functionality of using Felucca dungeons for anything (roleplay or not) that requires a stable backdrop to build upon. What do you think of the changes in general? Excellent actually. These provide the players a GROUP based challenge AND foster teamwork. The crafting and design of the Champions around the backdrop of the Dungeons is a great touch to use for basis of storylines and events......well done......many options now also can grow from this basis into other races and new Champions. 2 Drawbacks though....... A) Scoring hits on the Champion should not be greater chance for reward than spending the event laying waste to the Champions monster races......in actuality.....it should be the reverse.....where as the only thing hammering the Champion itself should gain is the direct loot and or bump up on special titles.......being at war with the Cold blooded race and gaining reputaion or title for such.......should be attainable ALWAYS......everywhere....not just against its Champion. ( I have spent 20 hrs now in last 3 days helping at Lost land spawns.....nay have I even seen the Champions....since the areas were always blocked by masses of Dragon/Wyrms Pets and players.....in all of those events.......I was there from the first candle to the last.......had a ton of fun and made many a new friend.....but no hint of any of the declared rewards) B) Champions of Evil.........are just that........Champions of Evil.......ones that come to the defense of thier kin or race........REGARDLESS of which facet they are. I am not suggesting changing the Dungeons of Trammel to house these new alters........nay......I am suggesting that Trammel have desinated areas of control by races..........like Ilshenar is based with Lizzard Capital......Jukan......Meer.......Savages.......Lord Blackthorn.........Gargolyes........Fairies........Cidadel of Undead....etc Take the Trammel Land and Lost Lands and utilize the Backdrops you have already magnificantly built........the map of Britannia is ACHING for this enhancement......Bucs Den in fact then could have a Pirate Champion.......or Mondains Maze.......the Minataur...for new ideas. But back to the basics......DONT use the Trammel dungeons......but DO use the backdrop fabric of evil races territory lands......then its up to the player base to activate or not activate an area......to summon a champion. (throw in my guildstone race alingment and mano man.......now you have some REAL Roleplaying posibilites for Wars set in designated areas of control.) Although there are many players who have characters that only venture forth in the overland areas, to other players it is the dungeons that make the game. Dungeons are one of many sights to see.......and given thier darker sinister existence.....they do bring curious georges in mass. The land itself is far less used and is littered with countless locations that are aching for enhancments. One example to enhance game......turn on the Poisionous Swamp tile feature that is disabled currently.....heheh If players do not enjoy that.......I am sure they will enjoy the side effect.......resistence gain Might even see some Roleplayed Wandering Madmen sick from walking thru the swamps....note there are paths through most swamps.......they were put there on purpose. "Oh what pleasures we can show you...."

Perhaps a post showing the complete collection of your works would be helpful to the world in seeing your incredible talent brother.

Do you ever go to popular monster spawns? Of course.....to see what the GODS have created....I am like nearly 100% of the customer base......a curious george. How do you define "spawn camping?" Camp spawn as I see it or define it is to set up a camp or remain in an area in order to gather xyz objective....ignoring others roleplaying in game AND/OR attempting in some fashion to declare the location owned and dissallowing others access or fun.....the ball hog factor OR in the same fashion dealing with the camped area NOT as a realm entity/issue for roleplaying but more as a fish in the barrel.......or like a magical barrel of willy wonka chocolate bars that once your turn to reach in for a bar comes you pray for the golden ticket (rare award) to be part of the camped area loot. Do you ever camp spawns yourself? Personally, I never "camp spawn". BEFORE (end of Power Hour) all of my trips in the past to any location are built around 2 factors.....current storyline/scenario linkage OR in the past years the few times I could train power hours was working on hitting as many locations for a skill gain. I have thousands of times engaged in roleplay with others that were not roleplaying the area but after a few lines back and forth.....find themselves actually caught up in the roleplaying with me.......and it is amazing honestly what happens the next time I see that same player.....more times than not.......they roleplay FIRST to me. NOW with the end of the powerhour.....I honestly enjoy the game more since that lil bug in my head telling me to maximize my powerhour is gone......the new system rewards my TIME spent in the game doing ANYTHING as a form of progression to my ultimate goal of perfecting my skills as I have chosen then. NOW all of my trips to ANY location are now built around 2 factors.....curiosity and roleplaying fun. The same 2 factors that caused me to buy UO in the first place !!! How do you feel about people who camp spawns? That is their GOD given right to do so......whatever thier own definition of camp spawning is. Common sense and courtesy should be followed though.....while we all pay for this game service.....so do others.....respecting THIER choice of playing is just as valid and respected as your own. Given that.....there are areas where this common courtesy is not followed.....herein is my only problem with camp spawning overall....when one overpowers or blocks out the other. This issue is how that affects the community......if thier flavor or style is more in the style of the Bill Cosby definition of a 3 yr old......."Mine mine mine mine mine" and they do everything possible within the system engine to cause harm or harrasment of the community.......this goes against the objective of the game itself that is to provide the mechanisms for an online community of adventurers and citizens living in an ever changing world of Ultima Online. (I can almost hear the origional start up movie.....which should be somewhere downloadable...nudge nudge wink wink). Online games based around community development and design must follow the good of the many principal to ensure thier longevity and prosperity. Even with the respect of others play styles......it has to be respected BOTH ways. Those that cannot or those that are not interested in the overall good of the many should have an option to play the same game but in a version where they cannot flat out ruin the spirit of the online game by individual anti social behavior. The tough part in the game engine of Ultima Online is that many of the new systems that are being implemented may be items that are actually built of many smaller systems or pieces.......I did not write the codes and base this on past conversations I have had and heard that speak of how each tile has to be tweeked in XYZ location to inusure the overal imagery and system will function as intended. These new FUN things of the UO experience cannot easily (as they currently exist) be moved randomly or with any particular factor of surprise. With these new systems and areas to challenge ourselves.....Sure its a wonderful thing to find a MC Hammer tile.......where you can stand and blast away at the monsters with imunity from attack......perhaps saying or singing...."you cant touch this" hehe.....but even that has its limitaitons of enjoyment.......especially if someone else finds it or gets to it before you do......."drat.......man he found my spot" or "drat...man that guy....man....he camps here all day...geesh" What do you go for (fame, karma, gold, other)? Definetely not Fame, Karma or Gold......hehe I don't think I have been past Great in over 3 yrs and Gold......I reached my first EVER pile of 60,000 gold just yesterday....63 month vet I am. I exist in UO for the community roleplaying scenario storyline experience that can be built and designed to enhance 1000s of other players FUN........when that happens......I get what I personally enjoy. Key to all of this is the unknown or surprises. While the game engine is intense with static backdrops of graphic locations...from buildings, ruins to enviornmental flavors that lend themselves to finding some ABC form of adversary or NPC....the one thing I find FAR FAR more enjoyable and rewarding is to DISCOVER something new......something that was not there the day before or the week before etc. A migration of deer once hunted in X location are now in Y location.......the orc camps once a plenty in B location have moved to C location........or even more fun was the issue where Orcs after being desimated by a massive roleplayed event were replaced by Savages the next day......adding a solid link between OSI Scenarios and Shard Storylines.....improving 100% the overall shard experience in gameplay for those invovled AND those not invovled by providing a new issue to discover and deal with. Repetitive motions and same old same old......are the DEATH of Online gaming or any game in particular......boredum will set in........your minds eye and attention will focus to something else. You can prove this theory most easily when you think of ANY board game or TV game system or PC Software game you have purchased and/or played in your past.......the ones that DO NOT Challenge you with changes/surprises/dynamics.........you do not play regularily or in a way.....addictively as you did the first days out of the box. Myself, I have been very happy to see the implementations of he NON-Combat additions to UO over the last few years......and some have not enjoyed my flavors of spinning these ideas into discussions or threads.......but every single option that has been added is another area a "curious george" can now investigate and perhaps then set thier own goal within it.......achieve it and move on to a new option. Even with the repetitive systems and this can be true of popular spawn sites......you CAN Roleplay anything for a while...then move on to something else........another possible hot spot or hot skill ability....depends on your imagination and respect for others as well....it keeps the game healthy and your minds eye as well. This following comment sticks with me all the time....it is from another 5 year vet...but it is similar to many others comments in my guild, other guilds and even those from the roleplay threads I run here. "You make the ordinary extraodinary, the mundane something more....what are we going to do tomorrow? Come on......give me a hint.....see you tomorrow my friend.....thanks for opening my eyes" name deleted Catskills Spawn Camping in its general form is a limiting of options......right, wrong or indifferent.....one thing is for sure.....you cannot do it forever otherwise we would still see the same person standing in the Black Liche room of Coventous we saw back in the first year of Ultima Onlne.....he left long ago for bigger fish.. Creating bigger fish pools is a good thing but can be a bad thing if not built with a dynamic evolving UNKNOWN factor. Curious george will find them wherever you hide them.....curious george will come back month after month.......as long as you keep him curious.

Now that summer is winding down (tennis season ending for me) and many are returning to college or classes.....vacations ending and all in all members preparing for the fall/winter seasons of life.......I am asking everyone to help clean up the guildstone. 2 reasons for this... A) quicken work on titles (fix the bad index ones) and promotions B) get our old stone ready for the guildstone revamp...remember ours is the oldest and why we carry 4 letters...its buggy but we will never change it. How we do this.... EVERYONE who has characters in guild.....LOG them in and check thier titles....if your title is toggled off...please go to stone and reactivate it to check it out. EVERYONE PLEASE contact your friends by any means possible to find out if they have left UO for good or when they are returning.....please advise me via ICQ. Why we do this.... A character that has QUIT UO but not quit PGoH will REMAIN on the PGoH Guildstone....other stones they fall off......not ours. A character that is deleted or banned and doesnt even exist anymore will REMAIN on PGoH Guildstone.......others stones they fall off.....not ours. There is NO fiber in me that wants to delete characters that are still commited to the guild and the family of HONOR....all I ask is that we know how you are doing and when you will be back....just log in log out once every 3 weeks and that keeps your character active. I truley appreciate this assistance......by knowing who is still commited this allows me and the leaders to look to promote or maintain members in various roles. There is a terrible habit of promotions being followed by players leaving......without any communications......honestly that is not helpful to those striving for promotions....promotions are just steps.....they are not goals.....goals are always moving ahead of you in terms of realm events leadership.....everyone in guild has the same opportunity to find themselves leading official events in the future for the realm....key is commitment and working to build that reputation of realm respect. It is my goal and always has been to provide every member the opportuinity to find themselves in such a role....these take time to set up the opportunities. just a few examples of this if anyone wanted to ask some first hand would be....Ser Brightblade with JuoNar......Balandar with Zendella Xriss...Borg with Lord British (3 times).....Greg with The Baker of Papau (donuts)....Ghaelon with many members....Benedict with Argos.....The Dragon Dominion (first identified Dragon Scale armor 2 YEARS AGO)....about 10 various others that Pandora Vex appeared to riddle.....and the constant siege of Lord Ventryn and Minax against all members over a years timeframe..... for the record.....3 times this calendar year characters were planned and set to be contacted for scenario involvment......only to be not found. Anfalas, Coldren and Mysty.

Legionnaire Logan has completed the CODEX REVIEW. Squire Earwen also completed the CODEX REVIEW. Well done Legionnaire Logan.....you only need an approval from Marcos the Black to be promoted now to Squire. Squire Earwen has requested her QUEST.....may the GODS favor you on your journey sister.

Intersting issue.........to acquire nasty supa cool weapons on Champions and Nasy NPCs Use a dagger on the scimitar, DIsarm it, Steal it with last targ, (Try this with the khaldun NPCs)

aye......seems Kurt/BB and Lora have combined here on this thread to almost detail a bit of the secret to success. Ancient Wyrm.............bested by Range and Mage power Ancient Liche Soul.......bested by Melee and Beast power all 4 major powers of Legion.

Aye......Olympus Door will welcome you home.

I had to make my own cakes when I was little......I dont like Icing......so I would make my own cake and the rest of the family would have thier cake with icing.

Be safe on your trip.......we will see you when you hook back up.

Our Castle will be VERY fun to play with........given the footprint INNER areas we can mess with. In front of houses you will have 4 spaces to play with too.....but not the 5th OR the one behind or on sides of the house.....access around it must be left open. Height will be the fun part........ perhaps we will then be able to build UP Olympus in the center with a Lg Tower structure then on top of that another Tower and so on up incredibly high.........hehehe

heheh if you dont want to tame firesteeds..........they have 250 or more Sulphuric Ash and about 20 gems on em heheh

Ok......many times I am asked this question.... "When am I gonna get promoted?", asks a Legionnaire or Squire. So......to cover this matter so everyone understands the answer I will spell it out here. Within the CODEX it states the following passages: Paragraph v The Decurion is the trainer of new recruits, Legionnaires, into the Legion. He is responsible for training and familiarizing the recruits with PGoH tactics outlined by the Senator of War. He must maintain a stern manner and teach the Legionnaires discipline and teamwork. Through processes of breaking down and building up the mental character of the Legionnaire he creates Legionnaires who will become a strong arm in the PGoH Legion. He is also responsible for submitting a detailed performance report on each Legionnaire at the end of their session of thirty days. All aspects of Legionnaire affairs are his domain. The Decurion is in effect the Centurion of all Legionnaires and Squires Paragraph vii Squires are aspiring Knights of those who have been accepted by empire. With the help of their Knight they must learn to adapt and live within the Empire while learning Legion protocol. Paragraph viii The Legionnaire is an applicant to the Empire who has petitioned for entry and acceptance into the Legion. For thirty days he must learn to live in this new world, as all are reviewing his performance for acceptance to further his Legion training. Inactivity of a Legionnaire can result in dismissal due to the AWOL status. One should only be a Legionnaire for about 1 month.....being a Squire can take longer and depending on the person....very long if time is limited that they can play. (July is the most hellish month with vacations since most of the guild have families or summer programs.....myself I have USTA Tennis Leagues and Tournaments to direct) Every week to help satisfy 50% of the Legionnaire requirements for promotion I will be conducting LEGIONNAIRE CODEX Review tests. Marcos the Black will be assuming Decurion role until Rand completes his real life housing/job move relocation.....he will be reporting to me Legionnaires who accomplish the other 50% requirement for promotion to Squire status. Squires will be assigned a personal quest to achieve....which will be 50% of thier requirement to Knighthood and the other 50% will come from review by Decurion based on reports by thier sponsor Knight AND/OR reputation/activity sent in by Centurions, Senators, Praetorian Prefect or Magistrates. RECAP.... Legionnaire requirement for promotion to Squire Pass CODEX REVIEW TEST Approval from DECURION based on performance and discipline Squire requirement for promotion to Knight Completion of QUEST designed by Emperor Approval from DECURION based on performance and discipline. ALL PROMOTIONS .............ALL PROMOTIONS REQUIRE CONSISTENT ROLEPLAY to existing role the character holds....that is a given. Roleplaying is not rocket science and not difficult...its a state of mind where you immerse yourself within the character....bringing more life into the game for all around you. In the end it is critically important that once you become a KNIGHT you are fully knowlegable about the CODEX, Discipline, Hierarchy, guild structure and are effective roleplayers for your characters.......why?.....because it is KNIGHTS who ARE the recruiters.......most guilds assign ONE person or Two to be recruiters........in the EMPIRE it is the role of the KNIGHT that is the recruiter......thier behavior and pressence or actions will be as it was in the past......an awe to see and something the young look up to and say.......I am gonna be a knight someday......and hopefully they will ask you if they could be your squire.....and so the system goes..... Looking at the system its all in place and only needs you to do your part....together we succeed.....and will prosper and grow......The Empire of Honor (PGoH) is a fluid growing living entity.....it is not one person....it is the many of YOU.

One of the important issues of successfully rising in the ranks of the Empire of HONOR is the understanding of the CODEX. This document was built by many members as a way to structure and handle issues that plague online gaming overall. The CODEX was themed and put into place and with that the guild has received many accolades for its depth and designs. Everyone in the Empire needs to understand its structure...for a Knights resposibility is to be the mentor of Squires and future recruitment comes from sponsorship by Knights. Knights are the hub of the guild and make up the most membership.....and future membership will come from. Legionnaires need to have begun to grasp the CODEX prinicpal sections and structures......this is a requirement and 50% of the way to promotion. ALL LEGIONNAIRES must complete the CODEX review.....regardless of activity or reputation. As time progresses.....the CODEX comes into clear focus as members age in the Empire...it is a large document but once grasp it seems so simple you will chuckle at thinking it was impossible to understand completely. SATURDAY NIGHT July 27th 10pm EST.........Nujelm Chess Board Trammel. ALL LEGIONNAIRES are asked to attend.
