but that is what makes us absolutely perfect.
We can make someone mad in the blink of an eye,
Or Touch someone’s heart and make them cry,

With the sound of armor beginning to rattle,
Explosion pots, bandaids, fighting, and hiding surrounds our world,
Like a beautiful, but not completely perfect pearl,
You will find that even the worst of us have a silver lining,
But you will find this place ever divining,
Don’t be afraid to enter our world,
We will come to welcome you quicker than you can do a twirl,
Come out of your hiding places, Be Brave,
Come and visit the Family of Siege Perilous today,
You might change people’s hearts and be able to save,
Trading your thoughts with special care,
Share your knowledge that is rare,
You might find this is where you were ment to be,
Free, wild, and forever happy.
You better make it snappy because we are waiting,
We are creating a close knit community,
So do take the opportunity,
Welcome to Siege Perilous you will hear us call,
Like a thundering heard of animals crashing through a wall.
Be strong and stand up to the plate,
Do you have what it takes?

Introducing
the
Barter Town Casino

​
About:

• “Casino Night” is going to be Barter Town’s signature, recurring, shard wide event. We hope to hold this event multiple times, either every other week or monthly.
• We’re completely ripping off the Knuckleheads casino games & rules from their casino on Drachenfels. All credit goes to them. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.
• Currently, all games in the casino are dice games. Scroll down to see a copy of the rule book. (There are also copies of this rule book inside the casino itself.)
• All exchanges of money will be done with blessed checks.
• No fighting in the casino.
• No stealing in the casino… within reason. For the most part, if you’re here for the event, you’ll be left alone by us. If you’re outside with an non-cursed Ornament of the Magician then you’re just asking to be stolen from.
• You will be required to hand over your wager first. After the game is complete, then we’ll hand back your winnings.
• You’ll have to take my word for this but, ALL GAMES ARE LEGIT. Like I stated above, this is planned to be a recurring event and no one will ever return if we start cheating people out of their money. Ironically, the truth is that a legit casino will probably generate more gold than a corrupt casino.
• The doors to the 2nd floor will be set to “anyone” on the day of an event. (Otherwise, they will be secure. But the 1st floor of to the casino bar is always public and has a public Crystal Portal if you’re ever in the area.

​

How to Play:

• There are 2 tables in the casino, each table able to accept up the 3 players and 1 dealer each.
• Once you find an open seat, you can stay for as long as you like, for as long as the event runs. First come first serve. If you see other people waiting for their turn, it’s up to you if you want to give up your seat.
• This means that up to 6 people will be able to play at a time (as long as there are at least 2 dealers available for that event date.)
• At the table, each of the 3 players will take turns choosing a game and announcing a wager (and handing their check to the dealer).
• We will be accepting wagers of 10k, 100k, and 1 Million Gold. We’ll have some checks for purchase on vendors, but please try and bring some of your own checks in advance.
• There are a total of 6 different dice games to choose from.
• After a game is set and a wage is made, you’ll then follow the rules stated in the rule book for the chosen game. If you win, you’ll be paid your winnings immediately. After you’re done, the next person at the table will repeat this process.
• If you want to see a casino in action, please check out this Knuckleheads produced Youtube video HERE. We’re going to run it exactly the way you see it in the video.

Dice Game Rules:

​

Directions:

​

Why are we doing this?

• It’s about time Barter Town had it’s own signature event.
• This event will directly bring people to Barter Town.
• This event will indirectly bring people to Siege Perilous.
• It fits the theme of the town.
• It seems like a good fit. It’s an in-game player run event where only blessed items are exchanged. A player can attend this event completely naked with nothing but blessed checks in their backpack and still participate fully.

Next Event:

• The first ever Casino Night will be next Sunday at 6:00pm EST.
• This is just a test run and it will only last for 1 hour. (We may extend the event time in later events.

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!

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!!

On Saturday, 10th May at 3pm Eastern, the representatives of the King’s Council will be holding a shard public auction in order to give the people of Siege an opportunity to trade goods, promote shard interaction, and raise money for town treasuries (aka the Governor Slush Fund [GSF]). Due to the large volume of items submitted for sale, a separate forum auction will also be held in the days leading up to the live event.

Venue & auctioneer 

The auction will take place at Gilfane Arena and I will be acting as auctioneer. The arena is located a little east of the Skara ferry in the central Gilfane area. You can also get there via teleporters: the “Gilfane” teleporter in the Hub Pub east of Umbra will bring you to the Citadel next door, and one directly to the Arena will be available from New Magincia Town Hall (the building closest to the bank).

The auction will be taking place on the top floor; follow the stairs up to the second floor then use one of the teleporters south of the fountain.

Auction staff will be wearing the Gilfane black and/or blood-red colours.

Commission & donations

The auctioneer will levy a charge of 5% on all lots sold and the money so raised (the “Town Fund”) will be split equally between the seven towns involved (Jhelom, Minoc, Moonglow, New Magincia, Skara Brae, Trinsic, Vesper). In addition, many lots have been donated entirely for the benefit of the Town Fund (100% of sale price to fund) or to an individual town (5% to Town Fund, 95% to nominated town).

The public is also welcome to make a cash donation directly to the auctioneer, in favour of either the Town Fund or a specific town. This is no different than giving cash directly to the town heralds, except that your donation will appear in the official accounts and will therefore be recorded for posterity.

Supporting activities

The following promotions will be in place at the event, with all monies raised going to the Town Fund:

a) Priority seating: With lot #101 in the forum auction section, there is the opportunity to bid for thebest seats in the house at Gilfane Arena.

b) Raffle draw: Buy a book from the raffle vendor and have a chance of winning a commodity deed box.

c) Duck pond: Kattasrophe will be running a duck pond event prior to the auction start. Pick the right duck and win a prize!

d) Food concessions: Some top-quality baked goods will be available to sustain you through all that frantic bidding, including some commemorative three-tiered cakes. They won’t be particularly cheap, but hey, have you seen the price of dough these days?

Auction house rules

All those attending the sale are asked to be considerate to other participants and not do anything to disrupt or unnecessarily delay proceedings, especially pointless spamming of text and/or spells. Those engaging in aggressive, disorderly or suspicious behaviour are liable to be removed from the building by officials. In addition, the following prohibitions are in effect:

a) No hiding or stealthing within the arena building, unless authorized to do so or in self-defence.

b) No casting of spells in the arena building unless authorized to do so or in self-defence. Exceptions are minor beneficial spells such as night sight, provided these are not spammed. The opening of gates is specifically banned; please go outside to do this.

c) No sitting in the priority seating (the thrones) without authorization.

d) No entering the secure area (grassy part of the arena) without authorization (such as when purchasing winning bids).

Bidding

Bids can be made at the live event by calling out the amount that you wish to bid. In the case of two identical bids, the one accepted will be the first that appears in the auctioneer’s journal.

The auctioneer will try and keep bidding at set levels in relation to the current bid price, but this is not set in stone. However, bids of odd amounts or only marginally above the current high bid may either be rejected or rounded down. The general bid levels are as follows:

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

Winning bidders

Although encouraged to stay until the end of the auction, winning bidders may claim their items at any time by approaching an assistant cashier (not the auctioneer, please). You should then follow their instructions to get to the secure checkout area. Sales will be made via a vendor.

If you have to leave the auction unexpectedly and do not have time to claim your items, please at least inform an official. Failure to claim items or give notice may lead to them being offered to the underbidder instead.

Reserve Price

Many items in the sale will carry a reserve price. If bids do not meet or exceed this reserve price, the lot will go unsold. Even if no reserve has been specified, the auctioneer may, at his discretion, decline to sell a lot if he does not believe that a reasonable bid has been offered

Commission bids

We encourage as many people as possible to try and attend the auction, but if you are unable to do so, and do not have anyone who can act on your behalf, then it is possible to send in a bid in advance of the sale, known as a commission bid. A commission bid represents the maximum amount your are prepared to pay for the item, and the auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to this amount.

The following rules apply to commission bids:

a) To make a commission bid, PM me with “Commission bid” as the title. Include the lot number and description of the item(s) you wish to bid on, together with the maximum amount you are prepared to pay. Bids should be in line with the amounts shown in the “Bidding” section above. Do not post your commission bids in this thread.

b) If I do not know you, and it is not obvious from your Stratics name, then please tell me who you are in-game. Commission bids may be limited or even rejected from complete strangers without some sort of security.

c) In the event of identical commission bids, the one received first will take priority.

d) Commission bids must reach me by the end of Friday to be guaranteed for inclusion.

e) Commission bids are held in strict confidence and will not be revealed to anyone other than the auctioneer. However, the identity of any winning bidders will be entered into the public record.

f) Successful bidders will be notified of any items that they win. Please try and make arrangements to collect the items within forty-eight hours of the end of the sale. Failure to make adequate communications with the auctioneer may result in the items being withdrawn and offered instead to the underbidder.

Official accounts & settlement

A record of sale prices and all monies raised will be published after the auction. The auctioneer will deposit the money raised for each town directly with the heralds in the presence of Kattasrophe and/or another creditable witness.

Settlement with those who have submitted items for sale will be made as soon as practicable.

Confidentiality & liability

All reserve prices, commission bids and other privileged information from buyers & sellers will be kept in confidence by the auctioneer except in the event of a new auctioneer having to be appointed due to illness or force majeure.

Final responsibility for items being sold, monies raised thereon, and the conduct of the auction, lies with the auctioneer and not the members of the King’s Council.

Live sale listing

Unless otherwise stated, lots give 5% of sale price to Town Fund, 95% to seller.
Lots marked [Town Fund] indicate that 100% of sale price goes to the Town Fund.
Lots marked [individual town] give 5% of sale price to Town Fund, 95% to specified town.
