GET ON THE GYPSY WAGON!
– By Lady Kattasrophe
There has been much talk on Stratics about the creation of the Gypsy Wagon. Two years ago, a person by the name of Old Gypsy on her Stratics account came up with the idea herself.
This is the starting of it. On June 17, 2012, Old Gypsy said, “OK, it is after 2:AM and the idea may be the result of sleep deprivation, but I’m posting it anyway. Since we already have Gypsy Wagons in UO (and they have a very small footprint) I think it would be a really nice optional addition for players. To keep it from being a problem for anyone, there would have to be restrictions.” This is only one paragraph of her remarkable idea that sparked the interest of over 3,000 and there is surely many more to come.
What does this have to do with anything? You might say we need to show people what we think of this amazing idea. There are already 214 messages on the page. Let’s show them how much we care!

HOROSCOPE
Aries Mar 21 – Apr 19
Tiny drops of super glue on your keyboard will mean you spend the weekend unable to scratch yourself.

TRIVIA MONK
To receive a prize, be the first to go to the Trivia Monk on our steps & answer this question:
“Where is Mickey Mouse?”
One of Richard Garriott’s programmers once drew Disney characters into Ultima art work. Garriott ordered him to take them out. The programmer left in a Mickey Mouse, giving the finger. UO copied the artwork over to our MMO. That old Mickey is still here.
Where is it?

OTG COMES TO UO
The Off-The-Grid movement sweeping the nation has come to UO. “People don’t want to be spied on and Siege is a natural for OTG’rs,” (pronounced ‘Ott-gerrs’) says spokes person, Survival Sue, “Because most people here already live hidden lifestyles, all we have to do is move ’em into the Colony.”
“Colony? Where’s that?”
“Sorry,” and from her covetous smile I suddenly recognized that I was really talking to Lladra. “The Colony is off limits to all but members.” She added sweetly, “Of course if you’re interested, and have your credit card handy….”

MUSEUM OF PLAYERS
The Siege Perilous Museum Of Players is accepting exhibits. Give an item or a book or a statue with your character’s name on it to Kattasrophe or to Victoria, or drop it into the mailbox at the Perilous Inquirer. Your named items will be used to create your exhibit.
The Museum Of Players is open to all Siege players. Visit it today: Out the Luna South gate, past the bridge, on the left across from the Brigand camp.

Haven Fest April 13th 9PM

March 25, 2014 By: Flair Category: Atlantic News

Since there are new governors in some of the towns I ask that the new governors please contact me concerning their towns for Haven Fest. For unrepresented towns, if someone or a guild would like to represent a town please message me or Dante (screen name Brock in Stratics forums), or leave a reply here to let us know so that all towns are represented.

I will restate the meaning behind this event for those that may have not been able to go to a Haven Fest yet. Haven Fest is an event for introducing new players into the world of UO, it helps out by handing out items to them so that they can begin with better equipment, and it also allows them to meet players from around the shard. It has been wonderful to see the number of people that come together for this event, the positive feedback, and the excitement the event brings to the entire UO community.

I would still like to see the towns add mini events to their contribution to Haven Fest, for this month I will put a time for each town to hold their event. Please keep the mini events short, this way new players have the option of doing numerous things during the night.
[​IMG]

I would prefer that should towns decide to hold an event that scheduled times not be needed, because as you see it makes the event run late. My desired outcome is that each town do their mini events throughout the night repeatedly, similar to game booths in amusement parks.

Another idea that popped into my head was an addition of a vendor area. It would be limited to 4-6 tables so if you would like to promote your player vendor by having a booth leave a message here.
Also let me if you would like to volunteer be the ‘tavern keeper’ so that haven fest has food and drinks served.
I made an image of placement of these areas. Please let me know your thoughts.
