MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS
!

Hope all of our EQ friends and their families have a wonderful holiday. For those of you that may have missed it in the Message Board, our very own Seek is now a daddy ! Seek's new son is named Dean and you can see him here :) WTG Seek, give him a hug from all of us :)

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. Been busy or lazy or burnt out :) I've moved the rest of the old news to the News Archive link below and I will be adding some new stuff soon. - Mishap

October 04th 2001

Link page updated. Added 16 links for several classes (Bard, Rogue, Druid, Ranger, Enchanter, Mage, Pallie and Warrior) and some General Info sites. Everyone should check them out. Knowledge is power :) Besides that, I spend time finding these sites, so use them ! :) LoL - Mishap

September 29th 2001

We now have a Spell Bank thanks to Huks and Baddog. Great idea you guys, it should really help our casters out :) The Spell Bank can be found under the Guild Bank link. It's pretty easy. You put a spell in and you can take one out. Contact Huks or Baddog if you have questions. - Mishap

September 25th 2001

Congratz to Daje for becoming our newest Officer ! Now, get out there Daje, and do whatever us Officers are supposed to do. (If it helps Daje, we just try to look good and if someone asks us a question we strike a studious yet powerful pose and say "I'll get back to you on that", works every time :) LoL.

All welcome back Huks !!! We loved ya, we missed ya and now we are proud to have you back. Nice to have you home again, my friend :)

Seems we have had a growth spurt -

Hail and lift a drink to Taeuvin, Baddog, Morphish, Faayte and Baccheus. Welcome to our family. If we can help you out in any way let us know. (P.S. - Sorry Taeuvin, I should have added you a long time ago. It's all those vowels in your name... makes my poor, little brain cramp :)

I would like to also introduce two new members that are very special to me. One is the nicest, sweetest person you could hope to meet in EQ and the other has been our ally, protector and benefactor for over a year.

Welcome to Vilett. She is our first Necro and is level 57. She is the most competent, capable Necro I have ever known and has been wonderful to group with. She might like to appear as a skeleton and enjoy playing with dead things but she is simply the best in caring and kindness. She is the quality of player we strive for. She also has the goodness of heart that is so hard to find in most players. Our guild is a stronger force for good with her among our ranks. Thank you Vilett, it's true... Never judge a book by the cover :)

Now, it's time to introduce Shoke (I can feel him cringe :). We met Shoke a year ago in Rathe Mountains and he was an immediate candidate to join our guild. He is strong, fierce, awesome in combat and a perfect gentleman to be with. We loved him :) He didn't want to join any guild at the time but for the last year he has always been there for us. He has fought for us and next to us. He has given of himself and has become a close friend. He is a Warrior of the finest kind and I would follow him blindly into any combat he saw fit. He has been a comrade, a mentor and damn it ... I want to be like Shoke when I grow up :) We should all be humbled that he has chosen The Ring of Truth to call his home. Thank you, Shoke.

Well... that may have been slightly embarrassing for Vilett and Shoke but it's the truth and that's how I feel. We have always wanted quality over quantity. Taeuvin, Baddog, Morphish, Faayte, Baccheus, Vilett and Shoke are quality. Thank you for strengthening our guild. We welcome you all and look towards the future that you make possible for us.

Roster updated, member pages added for the new members. Send in your photos, biographies and anything else you want on your page. - Mishap

September 11th 2001

OOC/ - Our hearts and prayers go out to all of our friends and family in the US on this day of terror. Please give blood and never stop fighting for freedom.

I have tears in my eyes now as I think of the victims and their loved ones. I cry for the city I was born and raised in and take pride at knowing they will rise and be stronger. New York and America will never fall to such cowardice.

The sick humor of the terrorists was to attack on the date 9 - 11. The irony was that they used the airlines United and American. That is just what happened .... they United Americans. We will prevail. - Stay safe and strong my friends - Mishap

September 04th 2001

Welcome on board Laeadil and Mudwamp ! Get to know them, they are both great fun to be with :) Roster updated, member pages added. Photos page updated thanks to Seek :) He's going for this months Shutter Bug Award, watch your back Kel :) - Mishap

August 25th 2001

The Shutter Bug Award this month goes to Kelson :) Photos page has been updated with a bunch of new shots. Roster updated. Link page updated, got rid of dead links and changed all links to pull up a new window. Send in links you like that we don't have listed :) I'm working on the dang Tidbits page. Need more content. Send me any EQ related videos, songs, utilities, cartoons, anything :) - Mishap

August 10th 2001

It would appear that I have struck a chord with powers beyond my control. Please read the update to the Photo section pertaining to Vater. I want all members present at Teneras and Salandria's wedding to read this. I am hoping that Ten and Sal receive an apology, they deserve it. - Mishap

August 05th 2001

We have a new position in the guild ! It has been a unanimous vote by the Queen and Officers that our very own Aelitan shall be our Guild Hunt Master :) His duties will include research and organization of future guild hunts. He will also take over as Moderator of the War Room Forum. Congratz to Aelitan and we excpect everyone to follow his plans and to help out if he asks.

Welcome to Batlkatt our new Shammy :) Roster updated, pages added for Viderian, Talween, Leonna, Nikkini, Chisle, Alzyre and Batlkatt. Send in those bios and pictures. Picture added to Janelane's page. Photos page updated. - Mishap

July 17th 2001

My apologies for lack of updates :( Very busy in RL and a little bit burnt out on work (and, if I'm at a computer and can't hack a critter... it's work :) Roster updated. Added Nikkini, Chisle and Alzyre. Make them feel at home and part of the family :) Member pages will be added this weekend. Also, we need to totally redo the Tidbits page. Send in some ideas for it please. - Mishap

June 21st 2001

Give a welcome to Viderian, Talween and Leonna :) Roster page has been updated. We also have three other new members that I need info on. Check the Roster. If you aren't included then you need to email me. If you're on it and your stats are incorrect, you need to email me. Work with me people, I'm a Warrior, not a Psychic :) LoL. I will be adding new member pages this weekend. Get me your info by Sunday, please.

Also, the Kelethin Bankers Page has been updated. You will notice that Lace is now carrying 2500 plat from our funds. Since she haunts the Auctions with a vengeance for our Guild she thought it would save time running to the bank if she found a good buy for anyone of us who asks her. - Mishap

June 08th 2001

Okies, all Ring Members are invited to our One Year Anniversary Party tommorow night in Oasis. We shall all meet at the gate to West freeport at 8:00pm EST. We can buff and give out some items to newbies and then head to Oasis. Once there we will group and hold Spectre Island. We can also setup a group to take out any SG that might spawn. At 10:00pm EST we will ring in our first year as a guild. Hope to see everyone there :) - Mishap

May 31st 2001

Couple of things to go over. We would like to get more of our members into the Message Board. Some people have had problems or reservations about signing up. Fear not, its painless and safe. We would like all of our members signed up and using the Board. If any have questions or need help, email me directly at misshap@mindspring.com and I will get you setup. Also, I would like all of our members to just drop me an email so that I have a complete list of all of our email addresses. I will be emailing everyone about upcoming events and other important guild stuff (that and every once in a while I just want to mass spam-mail all of you and tell you how wonderful it is to have you as a guild-mate :) <chuckle>

Now, here is a link to our old message board - http://www.megspace.com/family/theguild/wwwboard/ Everyone check it out and read our past. It contains some good info, a lot of spirit and a bunch of funny messages (Darktunnel, get your short butt back online and start posting again, lol:) It is also our history of growth, change and being damn good enough to last for almost a year while tons of guilds where born and died during that time (see, it is quality over quantity that survives:).

Last, but most important is June 9th 2001, 10pm EST. On that hour our guild reaches it's one year anniversary ! We shall have a party on that Saturday night and we want suggestions for a guild event. Seek has already started a thread on the Message Board under General Discussion. Get in there and lets hear what you want to do to celebrate :) Be nice if we could all come together and help Norrath and it's inhabitants on that eve. We shall party, have a great time and spread the word of our guild. Thank you all for making this last year so successful and so much fun :) - Mishap

WE ARE BACK !!!!!!!

We are back... and hopefully to stay :) The old server is dead (blessing in disguise I think) , long live the new server ! Sorry for the month of down time. I wanted to have our space on a server I trusted and could count on. I just had to wait for it to be built :) This space is brought to us by our very own Silvennes, who owns and operates PHD Networks in Kennesaw, Georgia. Silv's just installed this brand new Apache server. It's running Red Hat Linux on a T1 line and it rocks the house :) We are home now :) - Mishap

March 07th 2001

Jeez, where to start.... I have tons of updating to do. New members, level updates, news, etc. Also (I hate to say it) we will have to setup a new message board :( I have over 600 forum messages backed up and someday I will have them all available for us (all I need is a week of vacation time, lol).

New News - We are proud to announce that Aelitan has just become an Officer of the guild ! He is now "Minister of Gripes, Moans and Complaints", please refer any gripes, moans or complaints to him (LOL, just kidding). WTG Ael, you have been a fantastic asset to our family, thank you :)

On March 2nd we had a guild outing to Oasis and held Spectre Island for four or five hours. Thanks to the 18 or 20 of our members who attended :) We accomplished several things. First we gave the zone and the lower levels a "Spectre Free Eve". More importantly we learned a good bit about managing three groups to attain a single goal. We started clumsy and disorganized but actually ended up mostly organized and very much in control. The Spectres were nothing to manage, what we learned was managing ourselves. This hunt was the start to prepare for the "big things" like Nagafen and all the other critters it takes 20 to 40 well coordinated attackers to take down. From there, the Planes await our arrival. Thanks and congratz to all who participated. Special thanks to Lady Trespare of House Winterborne for joining us and to our new member Kamiel who will go down as the first 10th level to help secure and maintain hold on Spectre Island :) We look forward to the next muti-group hunt and will not only post its date but also a battle plan, group composition, group leaders and all the do's and dont's we learned from this last hunt (Lace was taking notes the whole time :) God, it will be glorious and a heck of a lot of fun !

Link Page updated. Must read is Mission Impossible a site dedicated to info on multi-group raids. - Mishap

February 08th 2001

Once again lift an ale and say a toast to our new members ! Cheers and welcome to Laief and Southwind :) Also congratz to Laief who, on his first hunt with us was lucky enough to get high roll and win the rare and pricey Syythrak Vest ! From now on I'm using Laief's dice :) Roster updated - Mishap
