Lottery

At every auction there will be a lottery for the public to play and bet their odds. The Lottery Item will be displayed on the table west of the Lottery Vendor. Announcing the winning lottery number will always be at the end of every auction and will be chosen by a random number generator. To participate in the lottery, simply purchase a lottery ticket off of the lottery vendor. There will be only 40 lottery tickets available for purchase so first come first serve. The lottery vendor will be stocked thirty minutes prior to the auction. If you have the winning lottery ticket, you must hand it to me so i can verify the code. If the winning number is called and you have it but do not speak up, we will move on to the next number so be alert when it comes time for the lottery drawing.

Mega-Money Lottery

This is a game that lasts the amount of one (1) month. To participate, just simply win the lottery throughout the month!!

When the lottery is claimed at the end of every Auction, I will do the following

1) Request a number between 1-100

2) Request a Security Code

I will put the winners name, chosen number, & code in a book and then place the book inside the AOS orange backpack, east of the lottery vendor.

At the end of every month, I will do a mega drawing regarding the ones who won the lottery throughout the month. (There should be 3-4 people)

I will use a lucky dealer to determine the winning number (1-100)

(There Is only 1 Winner)

PRIZE:

Your Predicted Number is near the dealers number = 25M

Your Predicted Number is SPOT ON with the Dealers Number = 50M

Audric The Drunk (Mini Game Available Throughout The Auction) (STORY)

O’ there once was a man from old days of or’
Whom had nothing on his heart than goodness and pure

His name Was Audric, a lonesome fellow indeed
Dreamed of the luxury life and plenty of mead

As a boy, he and his family grew up very poor
Until the age of twelve, when Audric heard a knock on the door

“Good Day sir,” said a quirky old fellow
Not knowing what to do, I stumbled a “Hello”

“Where are your parents lad, I must speak with them now!”
“but.. ummmm…”
“Come on boy, I am King Casca after all, so don’t give me that brow”

Realizing who the man was, Audric angrily showed him the door… slamming it into Casca’s face
“You fool of a child, come with me, you shall be my servant….
“for no one will want you… you’re a humanly disgrace”

Many a day, Audric cried himself asleep, wanting the comfort feeling of his mothers hands.
Then Suddenly he thought and summoned up a plan to escape.. for he was the smartest in the land

When Casca lay drunk and asleep;
Audric stole everything – all the gold he could reap

He traveled, far and wide, waiting for his time to claim victory.
Many years later, word got around that Casca was overthrown – put out of his misery!

“Finally!” exclaimed Audric. Rejoicing In the news, he settled down in a strange village: Toad Town
Audric Couldn’t help saying to himself “Hey Casca, how does it feel that someone else is wearing your crown”

Known for his trickery and riches – he pledged to share with those he redeems
For, after all, Audric is now living his Dreams.

(For more information on this mini-game, please read the book shown below in the picture, at the Auction House)

How To Make A Submission

Please use the purple bag (displayed in the picture below) as an example of what a submission should look like. Please get a book and a bag (there is a vendor in the bag with return runes, books, and bags) and put the item(s) in one single bag and then list the item and its starting price within the book.

NOTE (1): If you fail to list a start price for your item, I will try my best to contact you and get that resolved. If I cannot get in contact with you I will not auction off the item.

NOTE (2): If I am not around when your submission is completed, you can drop off your submission via my mailbox on the front steps. Everytime i come to my house, I check the mailbox and bulletin board.

NOTE (3): Once the auction is over, I will then distribute the winning gold to all who had submitted items. Please note that I am still in school during the week and that I may be difficult to get into contact with but I will try my best to contact all who have submitted items. It is advised to stay after the auction to recieve your payout so we can avoid complications during the week.

Auction List

At every auction there will be a auction list that will be opened to the public. Normally, I have a item limit in my auction to about 45 items. I keep this limit because I don’t want this to be a three or four hour auction. On occasion, the total items surpass that amount because at least one of the following:

1) Holiday – in the holiday mood I like to go over the limit to give everyone the equal fairness of submitting items and also so everyone could get that holiday special. Also, depending on the holiday, there will be mini gift bags laying around that will be released throughout the auction.

2) Item Submitting via mailbox – Sometimes the mailbox will have so many submits that it can pass the limit fairly fast. Although it may pass the item limit, I encourage as many to submit this way because I am not always on at the same time as others are.

NOTE: Only submit items to me and no one else. I am the only one that actually runs and operates the auction itself. Thats not to say I don’t have friends help me because I do, but I am the only one with access to the item submits and gold. If you are worried that it is not me, you can ask me to step behind the counter via the telepad. I am the only one with access to get behind the counter.

Rules & Need-to-Knows For The Toad Town Auction

Please be sure to read the rules regarding the auction. With the cooperation from every individual, we can produce a better environment for everyone to enjoy. Even though I am fun and games most of the time, I do take these rules seriously. Since I am the only one running the auction, I am doing around 5 or more things at once WHILE trying to not mess up someone’s submitted item.

Depending on the player and what they did, the punishment varies:

Temporary Ban – banned for that particular auction. This serves as a warning. If you do the same thing again it can result in permanent ban.

Permanent Ban – pretty self explanatory but basically you won’t be allowed to participate in the Toad Town Auction or any event associated with the Toad Toad Town Auction House

NOTE: It is very hard to get a permanent banning but it is possible. I don’t like to ban anyone because I want everyone to enjoy the game without drama but I will ban if it is needed. FYI: I keep a documented record of people who were banned and why, people needing banned and why, and people with warnings and why.

MOTHER LODE BOOT HILL
– by Governor Kattasrophe, Ace Reporter
“This is based on the famous Boot Hill in Tombstone, Arizona,” Norman Bates says as he points to a grave stone with the name, ‘Lester Moore’ on it. “I am the caretaker here. My name is Norman Bates. All of the residents are well cared for. Their plots get moved every week. I put fresh flowers on the grave if the relatives pay for it. I was reading about the real one and thought it would be nice if we had one of our own.”
I asked the question, “Do all Siege players have a grave?”
Norman Bates grinned, “We have a few spots open….”
The Mother Lode Boot Hill is located in Umbra, across the West Bridge.

UO IS NOT A GAME
UO is not a game, it is an interactive world.
– Richard Garriott
A game is where you explore exotic places, meet strange creatures, kill them, gather marvelous treasures, weapons & armor and max out your skills along the way. Then, if you wish, you can do all that all over again. Like UO, games have crafting, pets and guilds to help you stay the course.
UO has no course, no path to completion. You log in here and you begin to build an online life. You create your own home that in some way helps to express who you are. Your name appears on items you craft and so your name becomes a part of the interactive world.
One doesn’t play UO, one lives it.

MORGAN IRONFIST NEWS
– by Governor Kattasrophe, Ace Reporter
I was stealthing along in Shame towards the spawn ever so slowly…. I am not much of a fan of that place… but then, something caught my eye. It was the Governor of New Magincia, Morgan Ironfist! I was silent as a mouse, not making a peep, for he already had the Boss up and was killing it. I silently gasped at what he did next. He yelled at the top of his lungs, “WHAAHAAA! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!”
Oh, but surely that was a lie. I was there! I blinked rapidly and thought for a moment, as all the gold began to spawn. I began to wonder. Curiosity struck and I didn’t know what to do. Was he hiding the city treasury in Shame? *Gasp!*
This could be terrible. I watched a bit longer, too terrified to say anything. Within a moment, I took myself to Britain and said not a word.
[Note: To see proof of Morgan being in Shame, look on Stratics.]

ARCHITECT SERVICE
I wish to offer my knowledge in custom house design to anyone that wants help FREE OF CHARGE. You tell me what you’re looking for and I will build it on Test shard, then hand it over to you on the Test shard so YOU can COPY the design to Siege.
I will also help with deco’ing FOR FREE. But, you will have to buy the deco items… NOT necessarily from my shop.

Spring Has Sprung !

March 20, 2014 By: Lady Lava Category: Great Lakes News

An Easter Bunny Raised In.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG !

.

luna spring

Lady Lava waves from her Luna Manse

.

Today March 20th is the Spring Equinox which means the first day of Spring. I spent a busy morning  yesterday putting away all my snow filled inspired ideas in my Luna plot and went with Easter decor. Easter is a ways off  but I thought why not. Little did I know today we would be getting Easter gifts in the form of baskets with a cute bunny inside. Clicking on these bunnies one gets a sweet marshmallow duckling treat. I have seven toons on Great Lakes and five on all the other shards. I went into each and every toon and clicked on the bunny. On one, just one out of all those toons the bunny gave chocolate jellybeans. Hopefully this seasonal gift will inspire people to showcase Spring and Easter in their plots. If you find a Easter or heavily Spring inspired plot drop a marked rune to the location in my Luna mailbox and I will take a tour.

Baskets and bunnies are not the only new items in our world. Be sure to make a visit to the Brit Bank and click on the sign next to the Broad Sword Plaque to receive a plaque deed, one per account.

[EM EVENT] Taryn’s Travels – Ziggy an the Leprechauns

March 17, 2014 By: Larisa Category: Origin News

[EM Event]Taryn’s Travels – Ziggy and the Leprechauns
Posted on March 17, 2014 by EMFaineMorgan

Ziggy woke up and bounded out of bed and grinned. It was St. Patrick’s Day! He wasn’t really sure who this Patrick person was but it’s all the Leprechauns had talked about for weeks and today was the day and he was going to HELP! He was so excited he could barely contain himself. But he remembered what Taryn told him about trying to be calm. To tell the truth, he didn’t remember exactly what she’d said but she’d said it a LOT so it was probably important and had something to do with patience. Or calmness. Or, um, well, one of those things anyway. He was too excited to remember for sure. He was going to HELP! Today!

Ziggy pushed his way out of his sleeping tent with a huge grin on his face looking around for Shamrock Goldenshoes who had promised promised PROMISED that Ziggy could help him today.

Ziggy stopped and stared. Something was wrong, very wrong. The leprechauns weren’t signing and dancing and throwing their gold and shamrock’s into the air. They were quiet…and still…too quiet and too still. Ziggy had a very very bad feeling about this. Ziggy started backing up looking for somewhere to hide. He wasn’t sure what was happening but it was coming out of that big hole and it didn’t look good, it didn’t look good at all. In fact, it looked big and scary and the leprechauns were changing…

Ziggy dove back into his tent and covered himself with leaves and twigs. Maybe if he stayed really really still, the big, scary smoke thing wouldn’t see him. It smelled really bad too!

Ziggy started chanting softly as he squeezed his eyes tight shut and put his fingers in his ears, “Taryn, Taryn, Taryn, Taryn…I promise this is NOT my fault! I never helped at all!”
——————————————-
Taryn couldn’t shake the feeling that something was very wrong again. She was frustrated that they had yet to find anyone willing or able to even begin to look at the samples they’d collected. Everyone seemed to agree that Donal would know the best person to analyze the samples, but Donal was traveling and not due back for another few days.

Taryn had a sinking feeling they didn’t have a few days. In fact, it was St. Patrick’s Day and the leprechaun’s never failed to come visit. Only, this year they hadn’t and there’d been no sign of Ziggy. Yes, she was pretty sure that was a very bad sign.

Taryn pulled on her pack and set off. They better see if they could find Ziggy, and hope that all was well with the leprechaun’s.
———————————————
Gather at the West Britain Counselor Hall on Wednesday, March 19th at 6:30 p.m. Pacific time.
(This event was originally intended to run ON St. Patrick’s Day but, due to unforeseen real life work circumstances, it had to be pushed back a few days.)

[NEWS] In Defense of Katt’s Beer

March 17, 2014 By: Flair Category: Siege Perilous News

I saw the call come out in general chat for assistance in Britian.  Seems Katt was having trouble at the taverns in town.  Now why Katt was at a tavern I am not sure, however she seemed very insistent.  I collected my dragon and headed off to Britian to see what the problem was.  There was a huge problem.  The pubs were under attack!!

We defeated these “party poopers” as they were called, only to be greeted by this monstrosity.
A Mega-Mecha Party Pooper!!!  Let me tell you he was to.  Here are pictures of the battle…
And finally he was defeated….
Oh did I mention there was one of these for all 4 taverns in Britian.  So we saved the taverns and the beer and were however very well rewarded with some good company afterwards!!!
A big thanks to EM Troubadour for putting up with all of us on this St. Patricks Day!!!
