Campaign Promises

It is not important that you know me or not prior to this election. What is important is what I plan to do after the election. The Trade Deals I am considering are with Society of Clothiers (+1% Resist bump to all resists) or with the Maritime Guild (+2 Hit Point Regeneration) as either Trade Deal will benefit all and not just warrior and other melee based professionals but everyone. After that win or lose I have several events planned. Why win or lose? Because I believe in Ultima Online and this Shard are more important than a governor’s seat. I believe in lending a helping hand to new players and providing a supportive environment to fellow veteran players. I’m not going to hold the fun hostage unless I get my way.

What is my background? This is a question I am frequently asked. I started playing Ultima Online during the second phase of the beta way back when. I mostly notoPKed at the crossroads. I then started Catskills on the day it launched and continued my notoPK ways until I came across of a group of Role Players playing as orcs, they called themselves the Shadow Clan Orcs. Some of them were red so I attacked them. Then they called over some of their undead buddies to help kill me. I eventually got along with them really well. It was fascinating how they played their parts. So I joined them and have been Role Playing ever since. I have Role Played a Guardian worshipping vampire named Dante Darkheart ever since September of 1999. About two years ago the population started dying on Catskills so I made the switch to Atlantic after some friends said some good things about the community. Its been a fun 17 years that I’ve devoted to Ultima Online and I hope for another fun 17 years if we’re lucky.

Because I am a Role Player many of my decisions are driven out of an In Character (IC) motivation. Furthermore, I firmly believe in keeping the Ultima in Ultima Online. So again I try to do my research from the past single player Ultima games and help that guide many of my decisions as well.

Historical Background of the Shattered Worlds from Ultima Online Stratics

Ultima Wiki

Many of the events I have planned will be with themed around The Fall of Jhel, a spring time holiday of Jhelom.
The Fall of Jhel, the day upon which Jhel was slain by the Ancient Wyrm, which coincides with the beginning of spring. Visitors are often curious as to why they would celebrate his death, but to Jhelomites, he was the culmination of their personal ethos, a valiant death in the face of great adversity. Typically there is a large festival, and at the end of the day a great reenactment of the final battle, following the script of The Fall of Jhel, a recently written play.

History of Jhelom

The celebration of The Fall of Jhel will be observed in three events throughout the term.

Fighter Pit Sparring – First will be the Weekly Sparring Events on Thursdays. This will be for new warriors to train against one another as well as veteran warriors to show them how its done. I will have a guild anyone can join called the Library of Scars that will assist in allowing highlight status. Crafters and mages will be welcomed in order to provide healing, arms, and armor to the warriors. This will obviously be held at the Jhelom Fighting Pit.

Hunting – Second there will be a Monthly hunt on the third Saturday of each month of the term. The first will be a dungeon crawl through Destard (Trammel) in hopes of slaying an Ancient Wyrm or two. The second hunt will be a Cold Blood Champ Spawn in Destard (Felucca). The third hunt will take us to the Cold Blood Champ Spawn in Ilshenar. The meeting place will be the Jhelom Fighting Pit

Play – The third event will be a play of The Fall of Jhel by the orphans of the Ophiophagus Foundation Orphanage. Leading up to the play will be several acts of skit or song. After the play will be a ball. This will be held at the Jhelom Theater.

Of course there will be other event not solely tied to The Fall of Jhel. Many of which have already been in place for some time now.

Tavern Night – I have always made sure the Redrum Casino of Red Fang Pointe is opened and well stocked on Friday nights. Two sources of entertainment will be provided. First will be friendly card games, so be sure to be a few thousand gold for placing bets. The Second source will be a boat race around the three islands of Jhelom and back. This will be held at my personal tavern at Red Fang Pointe.

Full Moon and New Moon Ceremonies – Full Moon and New Moon Ceremonies these are private events for followers of the Guardian to attend. These are roleplaying events and will be later at night on first and third Sundays of every month. We will be on the look out for new members The location will be made availible by invitation only.

Haven Fest – Haven Fest will be held on the second Sunday of each month. This has been quite a big hit. It was developed by Sennah (my co-GM) to help new players get used to their new world. So we will continue

It is exactly because of those efforts made by so many different communities on the shard, and because we have kept it alive through every term, that Mesanna has been kind enough to bless us with permanent lock-downs of key items. From all of us on Atlantic, thank you Mesanna for supporting our efforts!

Live Radio Coverage
The party will be covered live on…
www.uoradio.com
Be sure to tune in for a play by play commentary, as well as information on where to be for all the hotspots that flare throughout the night!

Candidate Interviews
(Andrasta & Flair)
The main stage is the place to meet and learn more about the many candidates running for governorship across the nine cities. We are sending out invitations to all players nominated on the stones, and will try to interview as many as we have time for. We may even be fortunate enough to have a special guest drop by. 

Real Time Voting Display
(Tazar, Malice, Earl Grey)
Perfectly positioned over-looking the main hall, we will be running our regular voting tally display. As we count down the last few hours of the election, books will show the real-time numbers from voting stones in all nine cities.

Bar & Bistro
(Vesper)
The city of Vesper will be taking care of all your liquor and victuals for the night. They will be setting up a bar & bistro right at the entrance to the event hall. It is said they are able to cater for everything from the primal bar crawl to a classy dinner experience for two. There will also be an audio link to the interviews taking place on the main stage via comm-crystals, so you can enjoy the show in comfort.

Zento Sushi & Cow Tipping
(Zento & Blue Crane)
Dr. Hawk will be bringing the fish on rice and serving it up inside the Plenty O’ Dough. And what sushi bar would be complete without the ancient tradition of Cow Tipping? Certainly not this one!

Serpent’s Hold Hidden Secrets
(Toad Town and Jhelom)
Toad Town and Jhelom have put together something tantilizing and top secret for our enjoyment. Check the event program book on the night for details on how you can take part in this mysterious mystery!

The Scalis Pen
(Trinsic)
For the full duration of the event we will maintain a containment in the waters beside the hall where you can bring your battle characters to fight Scalis and Leviathan. Resurrection will be available, and you’ll need it! Over 100 white nets have been gathered for the occasion. Let there be no end to the chances of scoring yourself a High Seas Artifact!!

The Hoopla Raffle
(Sennah T’ Nae)
Sennah T’ Nae will be running a raffle open to all party-goers of the night. Be sure to head straight to this booth as soon as you arrive on the island and get your mitts around some tickets. There are several fabulous prizes to be had, and a new draw will be made on the main stage every 30 minutes!

Ozog’s Ice Cream Stand
(Ozog & The Goblins)
If there is one thing goblins do better than french kissing, it’s ice cream making, and Ozog is the ice-master! He has all your favorite flavors: yellow, green, blue, pink… trust me, that’s about as much detail as you’re gunna want.

Looking forward to seeing you there, and good luck to all candidates!
