PUBLIC AUCTION
Shard Public Auction Sat 10 May.
Don’t Miss This!
Details at:
http://uo2.stratics.com/community/threads/shard-public-auction.314642/#post-2383054

DRAWINGS
On cave wall prove to be early UO porn, according to noted archeologist, Tazar. “At first, we thought they were drawings of men attacking animals from behind with spears.”

ANCIENT ALIEN MAP
Recent discovery of an Ancient Alien Map of our sector of the Milky Way galaxy explains why we see fewer interplanetary visitors these days. The map shows our solar system “X’d” out in great red splotches along with a (recently translated)  warning, “Here there be Humans!”

ESO – THUMBS UP!
Elder Scrolls Online is a great quest game for those of us who love to “get stuff.” Gaining the next level and getting better gear becomes a manic quest of its own.
Yes, the ESO world is immersive & the story lines are engaging but I don’t care. I just  kill & rob & loot.
Ahhh, ESO is fun!

TRIVIA MONK
To receive a prize, be the first to go to the Trivia Monk on our steps & answer this question:
“What rabbit is the deadliest bunny in UO?”

HOROSCOPE
Taurus Apr 20 – May 20
You will undergo profound changes because that parasite you didn’t know you swallowed yesterday is becoming aware.

Please join me on Sunday May 25th at 4:00 PM EST for a xshard player run event, I’ll be celebrating planting flowers at the New Magincia Gardens in a new and creative way. Whether you part take in the dating game or not, come and plant a memory. For those who are interested in more:

Do you have a hard time meeting people to spawn with? Wish you had someone to get your heals when you PvP? Are you shy, never know exactly what to say? Are you just tired of playing UO solo? Or perhaps you are in the mood for adventure, romance and fun? If so, please send me a message to sign up for Ultima Online’s first ever blind speed dating game. A completely anonymous way to meet and talk to a player you may never have met or considered getting to know. The process is simple.

All participants will be assigned a number, create a clever dating name if they have a free character slot or use a trial account, log in your newbie clothes to meet a player for a 10 – 15 minute conversation (example pictured below), then move on to meet someone else until everyone has met. If you enjoyed your conversation, you’ll write their name and number down to give me. At the end if both parties enjoyed getting to know each other, I will share your contact information only with your permission. If you didn’t enjoy it, don’t worry, just move on, no stress, no fuss. It’s just for fun.

Ladies in waiting will be placed strategically in remote romantic areas. Gents will be gated in to meet them one at a time. When the next gate opens, the guys will leave the ladies for the next location until everyone has met each other. After that is done the guys and gals will meet separately for a his and hers stag party to compare notes. Finally everyone will come together and finish in the New Magincia gardens to plant a seed in memory of the event.

I am Governor Nails Warstein, let me be your host and broker your fun! Allow me to shepherd you on a new romantic adventure while we explorer new relationships that might have passed us by completely anonymously. So don’t be prideful; humble yourself for a brand new UO experience. Send me your private messages or ICQ 150528775 to sign up today!

The Week-end Madness

Edition Number: LXIII

Friday the Knuckleheads gave us another wonderful auction!

A small group of adventurers tried their luck at the gauntlet on Saturday.

The King held an audience for the governors of our cities on Sunday.

After the meeting, the King expected everyone battle ready in his throne room.

He gave us the task to stop several groups of dragons that were located in Montor in Ilshenar.

After a short but intense battle all dragons were defeated and several brave warriors were rewarded.

The King will call for our help again to stop more groups of dragons in the near future.

This is a standard forum auction for lot numbers 101-232 of the GSF auction, which is aiming to raise money for our town treasuries.

Standard auction protocol applies and I reserve the right to disregard bids if they don’t appear to be made in good faith, etc, etc.

Some lots carry a (unspecified) reserve price and will not be sold if that is not met. Just make reasonable offers!

To make a bid, simply post the item number and the amount in this thread. Bid raises must be a reasonable increase over the previous high bid in order to be valid. In general, use the following guideline:

up to 200k: increments of 10k
200k – 500k: increments of 25k
500k – 1 million: increments of 50k
1 – 2 million: increments of 100k
2 – 5 million: increments of 250k
5 – 10 million: increments of 500k
over 10 million: increments of 1 million

The auction will run until the end of Friday on the 9th May. For a bid to be valid, it must be timestamped no later than 23:59 Eastern Daylight Time [03:59 GMT] AND in the final two hours must meet at least the minimum bid increments listed above.

Wining lots may be collected at the live auction on Saturday, or by other arrangement.

Good luck!!
