The Alliance Auction is Off and Running

The Alliance Auction is Off and Running

.

.

The Alliance Auction house has been up and running for two weeks. I was unable to attend the first week as I was on the coast at the beach. Back in town I was able to check out week two of the auction and to my delight it was running well with Miss Kitty and friends in control and well attended. On the subject of Miss Kitty, I was rather unexcited about her auctioneer fashion for the evening. Though her outfit was made my an excellent tailor, Lil Kathrina, it was rather drab and uninspired. Though I have a feeling this the auction houses official uniform. Maybe they will change for each season. * hint hint *

Gates were provided from Luna during the entire event  and as I stated already it was well attended. Abigal, Lord Swifty, Tye Weatherlight, Lady SHILLA, Manx, Lady Ang, Dusk, Cleburne, Skye, Wolf, Bruce, Capri, Denubiss, Dread, Little Sparrow, Arris, Odyssey, Sir Joe, The Game Changer, Busty Love, Tonto, Kajun Liberty, Tao, Lady Jes MeLone, Dai, Lord Iggy The Great, Tiggermcat, Lady Lionheart, Kailee, Devil Bunny and Lord Chauncer were a few of the patrons. As with most events there was a little drama and that evening it was Incompetant Tool. He was escorted out.

Many exciting things hit the table that evening including a Hephaestus, Ring of the Soulbinder, Mummies, Orbs, Webs, Ancient Mummy Wrappings and Compassions Eye. All these exciting items and much more with Let’s Make A Deal sprinkled in for added fun. The evening ran rather smoothly with Sandra FireForge and Black Ice assisting Miss Kitty. There will be no auction this upcoming Monday July 28th as the staff is on vacation. August 4th the joint will be up and running again with more great items to bid on!

The Running Of The Humans

July 17, 2014 By: Lady Lava Category: Great Lakes News

.

This just in from EM Elizabella ……

xuonews

.

Annually, by their reckoning of a year, the minotaurs have a Running of the Humans. The minotaurs consider it a festive event. Captive humans have traditionally been released along the path, for the contestants to battle as a show of their strength and bravery. This year, in a nod to human rights activists amongst the minotaurs, volunteer humans will be tried instead. If you would like to participate, please meet at the Counselor Hall on Saturday, July 19th, at 8:00 p.m. CDT. Wear a bright red cloak, if possible, and be well-armed.

You are not a contestant in the race. You are the obstacle.

Great Lakes Largest Alliance Creates A New Auction House

Great Lakes Largest Alliance which  includes B*R, ENVY, -420 and -Y-, just to name a few, has created a new auction house.

Miss Kitty, the governor of New Magincia, announced this past Monday the news and Lady Lava was asked to attend. Great Lakes has a long history of player run auction houses with MOA being the grandfather of them all. The Alliance Auctions as it is called will be for alliance members only for the first four weeks. This will be a test period to get the bugs and kinks out before going public in one months time. The auction will be held on Monday evenings and when it is public I will be posting more information for those interested in attending.  The location of this new auction house is on one of the beautiful Tokuno islands and the plot was donated by Wrigley. Katrina designed the auction house and her inspiration was that of an auction house she visited on another shard. I must admit it is rather well done.

It is always nice to see another player run outfit trying to get established and we wish The Alliance Auctions the best of luck and a long life.

Britain Town Social Was A Drunken Feast of Information

Britain Town Social Was A Drunken Feast of Information

~

gardendo

Governor Warner knows how to host a town social! This event was the perfect mix of spirits, food, gossip and information. Manx and blanc De blanc were in a corner so drunk they would not stay in their seats.  There were many others consumed with the ale provided by Lady Dot. Baskets were placed about overflowing with cheese, lamb, cooked foul, and french bread. Libations and snacks are always high on social gathering lists.

Edgar Long played the flute for a bit as the guests arrived. Other Governors and well wishers arrive as Lady Dot greeted each and everyone being the good hostess she is. Masaaki Hatsumi, Tiggermcat, Tanda, Grenwald, Thom Jameison. Lady Alice, Wind of Hope, John, Aornis, Willa of Yew and Skye were a few of the guests. On the subject of Skye, there were a few uncomfortable moments while Tiggermcat gave her a back massage in the middle of the group. Miss Kitty made a very short appearance also. She had to rush off to the aid of a person in need.

Lady Dot answered questions and gave very helpful information to those interested. Loyalty systems, trade minister and voting were hot topics. As a Brit citizen I am always happy and appreciate the Arcane Arts Buff giving +5 spell damage. For that reason alone, though there are others, Dot Warner always gets my vote.  

It was not all nice-nice at this gathering and my ears perked up when whispers and a few jabs hit the wind. Snickers were heard asking ” Where is the Governor of Moonglow this evening ? ” and raised brows claiming Governor Neptune was nothing but a war monger. Ahhh…all in the day of politics.

Holy Moses and Saturday Night Fight Club

Holy Moses and Saturday Night Fight Club

~

mosses

For those wanting a little fight fun, for over three months Holy Moses has been offering just that to people on Saturday evenings.  This evening I attended the fights for the first time and could not help but notice how Holy Moses matched the décor. Not only is he a good fighter he is fashionable.

I sat with Sliced Bread and Redd Hots of the 151 Guild, which has been around for over six years. Redd Hots filled me in on how the fights work and that the fighters have the chance to win 20 million gold. I was told by several people most Saturdays are better attended then tonight was. There was however no lack of fighters. I sat up above as I did not want blood splatter on my new dress.
