Earlier in the month our fearless Commander Drecko announced his plans to step down as the Commander of the Patrol Guard. He will be focusing on coordinating special task forces throughout the realm to battle Vermin and Undead Horde uprisings.

Over the last several days the Village Tribal Council has been interviewing candidates to fill the position and has selected Lord Mark West to become the new Patrol Guard Commander. Earlier today Lord Mark West was sworn in by Tribal Council Chairmen Cheever and has already begun implementing new Procedures, Schedules and, Watch Tower assignments.  He has also publicly announced Lord Tanivar as his selection for the Deputy Commander position and will be sworn in next week.

All Patrol Guards should see the Commander for their new orders soon as possible. We all look forward to seeing what the Patrol Guard can do under the leadership of Commander Mark West

When: Tuesdays starts at 7:30 and runs until whenever

Where: Homare-Jima just East of the Moongate

If you need something crafted such as armor, weapons, jewels, Enhancements, Furniture, Training, Repairs, Golems, Q&A, or what have you, just stop on by for assistance and the people there would gladly aid you in your request. Even if you are simply looking for good company, stop by and hang out.

Trivia Night will be set up in teams (Depending on how many show up). Each team should set up their own
party chat so they can talk to each other in game. If it is a low attendance, then there shall be no teams.

If you show up late (like after 2 rounds has already passed) then you can still play and get a grab bag.
You will be behind in points however, so good luck!

Everyone who shows up will be given a grab bag with some nice little goodies.

Each team (or person) will be given a bag of books to answer
the questions with in which at the end of each round they will
give 1 book back with all 5 answers in it from that round.

The game will have from 5-7 rounds (7 if time permits) with each round
having 1 question from each of the 5 different categories.

Each question is worth 2 points a piece, therefore giving the potential of
earning 10 points each round.

For the first night reward of gold is givin to the top 3 winning teams or
players. First Place: 1m, Second Place: 750k, Third Place: 500k

There will be no cheating allowed. That means no use of internet, or any
outside information other than that which is in your own brain, so we
will trust that you all play honorably and only use the knowledge in
your head and your teams’ brains too.

We also hope that everyone who shows up has a great time. This is all
just for fun. We can’t wait to see anyone and everyone that shows up! Good Luck to you all!

Announcements from EM Dross & EM Dudley

EM Dudley: First: The Royal Guard exercises scheduled for Monday evening are being postponed. Dudley was takin’ ill this weekend. The setup didn’t get set in on time, so we have to move it back. A new date will be posted ASAP. Keep your eyes on the EM Forums.

Second: There is an event on the 23rd called “Beacon and Dregs” which will be a static event. You may complete it anytime over the weekend right up until the event on the 28th @ 8pm which is called “A Fun Guy’s Folly”.

EM Dross: In preparation for the event on the 28th, there is important information about it that can be found within recent event fiction. Of course this information may not be apparent at first. As part of the ongoing investigation, there are multiple codes and hints in the two pieces of fiction up, and they will allow you to affect how the event proceeds if you solve them.. and propose/act on that information in various ways. If you choose to not act on it, you will have more info than others, but it will likely not change. As drastically as if you come forward or try and propose a plan of action to the investigation leader Captain Irina. Also, there is an extremely difficult puzzle in one of the pieces of fiction, and if nobody figures it out by next week’s HoC meeting, a single clue will be given. Good luck!

Question to the EM’s: The crew from the DOE Star and RoadRunner from Kijustsu Anei wanted to know if you two were getting a little soft in your old age because we mopped the deck with your “Queen Crabs”.

Answer: (Dudley) “I mean if mopping the deck is what what you call taking an hour to kill one cuddly crustacean, then i guess that is the case… Glad you enjoyed it! I can’t stress it enough though, use cannons to kill a Scalis! Does like 2200 damage per hit.” (Dross) “That does help just a Teensy bit.”
