Under the Boardwalk Submitted by Martyna_Zmuir on July 28, 2011 at 2:26 PM CDT Originally posted July 28th, 2011 by EM Elizabella on the Great Lakes EM Site: It’s so hot out… Let’s go to the beach! We can fish and have a feast. Bathing beauties and their beaus will parade in a fashion show. Nevermind all those rumors of monsters lurking under the boardwalk, waiting to bite off your toes! ~*~*~*~*~*~ Saturday, July 30th, 4 p.m. CDT For the weigh-in, only fish caught that day qualify. If it does not win, you may have it back. If you would like to participate in the fashion show, please wear a summery outfit. It does not have to be a swimsuit. There will be a gate from the Counselor Hall. [Discuss This Article]

FOA vs. Fellowship (Felucca) Submitted by Martyna_Zmuir on July 22, 2011 at 12:44 AM CDT Originally posted July 14th, 2011 by EM Elizabella on the Great Lakes EM Site: The Followers of Armageddon have re-discovered a blackrock stockpile in Felucca. The Fellowship is trying to prevent them from extracting it. The outcome of this battle will affect both sides in the future. If you want to help FOA, go through the gate that will open near Felucca Buc’s Den’s moongate. To help the Fellowship, go through the moongate that will open near Felucca Brit. moongate. You’ll arrive at a house where you can sign up by putting your name on a message board, e.g. “John Doe, FOA” or “Jane Smith, Fellowship”. Then go through the gate in that house right into battle! Each side has a fort. You can try to protect your fort or attack the other side’s fort. Control of a fort is symbolized by dyeing the pennant of that fort. Dye the pennant black for FOA, white for the Fellowship. There will be dye tubs next to each pennant. Points are awarded for the amount of time a pennant is dyed a particular color, with extra points for whatever color it is at the end. The battle will last one hour. Registered combatants from whichever side wins will have their names in the Felucca Award Hall. If you sign up on both message boards, the earlier one will be considered your side. If it cannot be determined which was earlier, neither will count. [Discuss This Article]

And here I was hoping the last components might not be as difficult to obtain, given our lack of time.” “Aye, indeed. However, I have taken the liberty of documenting the location of each of the creatures for you.” Zhah gently unrolled the scroll the scholar placed in her hand, perusing the list it contained.Zhah stood from her desk and nodded in greeting to Prugyilonus, the High Scholar.
