December 21st. 2002 

EVENTS - Had a great time at the Christmas Party last night :) It is always a pleasure to be with you all and I hope everyone had a good time. Three cheers to Seek for the party favors and the most wonderful practical joke :) Us Warriors were not fooled though.... errrr.... we were....errr....playing along with the joke....yeah, that's the ticket.... that's our story and we're sticking with it :) LoL ! <bows to Seek but never takes eye off pet>

I'd also like to thank all that helped out with munchies, drinks and those that helped us with languages. I now know what Elder Dragons say as they blast me :)

Here's some of the folks that attended.

 

Durangojoe takes the point ...

all joking aside, Joe can "pull" your teeth without you knowing it :)

 

 Seek beams up to the Mothership :)

 

 Yep.... Never mix XXX Eggnog with summoned booze... Yipes! <hic>

 

Thanks for a great party and Happy Holidays to all the Ring, their families and friends!

Ya'll are the best and may the New Year bring only the best to each and every one of you :)

AN EPIC NIGHT !!

On the eve of Nov 8th, the Dragon Fay fell to the combined forces of the Ring of Truth and the Order of Anqara. Our dear Lady Genadara is now the proud owner of the Druid Epic Weapon - The Nature Walker's Scimitar! Many thanks to all who made this possible.

Aye, the photo is grainy but you can still see the smile that goes from ear-to-ear :) WTG Gena and WTG ROT and OoA on a helluva battle and great team-work !!

Stay tuned, there's still more Epics on the way for our members. They're like eating chips... you can never stop at just one or two :) - Mishap

 

November 5th 2002

EVENTS - Thanks to our very own Kyee, we now have a user-editable calendar on the Events page ! It is password protected and requires you have cookies turned on in your web browser. Members can find the password in the Great Hall Forum and I will include it in the next guild message of the day in EQ. Guild members can add and edit events as they need to for the current month or for events planned far in advance. Everyone thank Kyee and visit the server that hosts our new calendar - Anthrofiction.com We will be continuing to have Alt Nights on a regular basis and have just had our first "Plat Party" in Rathe Mountains. The Hill Giants came in droves and were just dying to help finance our upcoming raids.Also, check for the impending fall of the dragon Fay in Timorous Deep. Our Druids want Fay's epic component so we shall accommodate them in this endeavor. Stay tuned and check the calendar and message forums :) - Mishap

ROSTER
- Updated. I just realized Revlis and Splunkies were not on the Roster :( Sorry guys. I fell asleep at the switch. Updated a few folks on levels also. Send me any changes/additions you see needed. Also, if you want to add a bio or pic to your Roster listing just let me know.

EVENTS
- I am going to purchase a calendar program for the events page. On the longshot that I actually figure out how to implement it, the program will give our members the abillity to add and edit hunt dates and hunt info on it. Thought that might make it easier to post and organize hunts. Let me know if any of you are CGI wizards :)

We just had another Wednesday Night Alt Hunt. Was a solid group in Sol and I believe we all had a good time. Thanks to all that joined in :)


TIDBITS
- If you have checked out the Tidbits page you might have seen our listing of Croow EQ Movies. Croow has made several funny EQ video clips that I just loved, but his ISP went poof and his work vanished from the Internet. Except on our site :) Seems if you do a search for Croow Movies our site is number one. He found us and emailed me. Croow has given us permission to keep his movies on our server and to download and view his new movies. Thank you Croow :) New movies wil be added soon.

NEWS ARCHIVE
- At the moment it's in a shambles :( I'm going to break it into years to cut down on size and organize it. Bare with me until I update it :) - Mishap

 September 22nd 2002

Where to Start? - On August 25th we lost Lace Swiftsoul to a heart-attack after she spent several weeks in the hospital. In Norrath she was our guild's heart and soul. In real-life she was my best friend and my beloved wife of eighteen years. On September 14th we gathered as a guild and said our respects to Lace. Never was I prouder, never did I feel so much love as on that eve. Lace, we love and miss thee. Look over us and continue to be our conscience and our strength. You will be remembered and loved in two worlds and both worlds will be that much less without you. Now it is time for us to regroup as a guild and move forward. Lace would want us to prosper and carry on the work she had started with us and had been an intricate part of for the last three years. She loved the Ring and would expect us to succeed. I don't plan on letting her down. Lace's webpage updated.

ROSTER - Welcome our newest members - Ynitsed, Cliffjumper, Zipity, Shalome, Skunkit, Mattress, Abraca and Sisterwind. WTG Shalome on attaining level 60 ! (Do I hear a WOOT from the congregation?) hehe. Roster updated.

SPELL BANK
- Huks and Baddog are still hard at work on the guild Spell Bank. Here is the latest list from Huks. This is only part of what we have. Ask Huks in game for anything you don't see here.

HUNTS
- We are having a good time with level 30-40 Alternate character hunts every Wednesday or every other Wednesday. Check the Message boards for details or speak to Kelson for details. Also check the Message board for Epic component hunts. We have a number of guildies that can use our combined forces for their Epic.

FUTURE
- We are a great group of friends and I am returning to EQ to lead the Ring, but most importantly to be back amongst the best group of people I have ever been lucky enough to know. Our future, as always, is what we make of it. We really dont need a leader or Officers. The Ring is a tight-knit band of the best folks online. We will make it through anything. Thank you all for your love and prayers. - Mishap Penstance - Proud Leader of the Ring of Truth

 

August 20th 2002

ROSTER
- Welcome new member - Flitter. Yes, I'm slow as usual. I really hope to get better some day. Glad to have you with us Flitter. I knew Flitter from my previous guild and she's a great lady that will fit in RoT well.

ROSTER
- Added Flitter and did some updates to the list.- Tanvarien

 

August 5th 2002

Welcome and Congratulations

Sorry to be slow on the news post but we want to congratulate Huks on level 60. That's two down. :)

ROSTER
- Welcome new members - Ozar and Laralini. I know there are two others that I only saw briefly and I don't remmber the names, sorry. I'll get you next time.

ROSTER
- Added new members and updated some others.- Tanvarien

 

July 27th 2002

Hail Mishap
- Last evening Aelitan handed the leadership of Ring of Truth over to Mishap. Let us all join together to help support Mishap in her new role. It will not be easy, but I am sure she is equal to the task. Thanks Aelitan for your guidance and we hope all will be well with you.- Tanvarien

 

July 09th 2002

TIDBITS
- Added some computer utility programs. Everyone download and use Ad-Aware. You've probably been hacked by Adware or as I call it Scumware and don't even know it. Time to fight back and be aware that web advertisers and market scum are stealing your privacy rights without your knowledge while you surf the web - Mishap

 


July 04th 2002


Happy Fourth of July :) ! - Hope everyone has a great holiday and takes the time to relax and reflect.

LINK PAGE - Fixed the internal links to the catagories. They wont pop open separate windows now.

ROSTER - Added Alzyre's page and repaired Mud's link.

TIDBITS - Added some movies that I think are a hoot :) Please send in any content or info that we can use on the Tidbits page. - Mishap

 

June 30th 2002

NEW MEMBERS ! - All hail and raise a glass to Arathemea and Sneagolas ! Welcome to the Ring. - Roster updated.

LINK PAGE -The Link Page pops up just fine now. Sorry for the hassle. Took Notepad to find a rogue-broken-link Java Script that I thought I had deleted a while back. Dang fancy page editors I have never even showed it :( Just goes to show ya... simple is better :) LoL

Will go through the Link page for bad links and additions this week. Send any links you think we can use. -Mishap

 

June 21st 2002

"Mishap hangs her head in humble humility " - Sorry for the hiatus my friends. Work has been more draining than normal. Also, my son and I have been playing some new computer games. Gotta bond when you can with a 17 year old son :) My Web Muse sort of ran off for a longer than usual "walk-about" but it's back now and I have a bunch of work stacked up :)

NEW MEMBERS !
- Welcome to Harmonious, Tanvarien, Durangojoe, Sunshower, Kyee and Purrfurr !! All are great folks and fun to be grouped with. Keep Purrfurr away from sandboxes and the living room drapes though :) - Roster updated. New photos added for Mud and Huks. Send me additions and changes please.

SPELLBANK !
- Huks and Baddog have compiled more spells than most "Uber" Guilds have ever listed. They are a relentless and very impressive resource that our casters should take advantage of. They now have so many spells that they are no longer listing lower level ones. Lower level caster guildies should ask or email Huks or Bad for info on their spells. We need to come up with a way of repaying Huks and Bad. Their "mules" must be getting tired hauling this Spell Library around :) - Spell Bank Updated.

WTG !!!!!
- Our own Lady Vilett is the first among us to hit level 60 ! Also, congratz to Lady Lace for getting the title Baroness in alternate skills.

WEBPAGE !
- Alzyre and Tanvarien have offered their help on our web page. I believe I shall take them up on their offers. We need more content and faster updates. Al and Tan, I'm going to add a message forum just for web stuff. I'll send you both info. - Mishap

 

April 30th 2002

Well, lets try a new look ! Hope ya'll like it. I went with basic black since it goes with everything. :)

I'll be making a bunch of changes but the high notes are as follows : New look. I'll be looking forward to hearing your comments. We have a link now from this news page to important or interesting messages in the forums. The Spell Bank now has it's own seperate link in the menu. We have a Photo of the week shown (hey, it might get more pics sent in when folks get tired of this first one I posted if it doesnt changed for three weeks :). I am hoping to add more content. Particularly the nuances of raids and multi-group hunts. For this, I would like to call on our members who have organized these types of hunts and their writing skills. Ael, Kel, Seek and Janelane (and others in our guild) all seem to write well and plan well. It would be nice to see them outline and discuss hunt plans that are easy to find without sifting through the message board. We have to do something with the Tidbits page and I thought this would be a useful addition to our members. It would be a series of "How To's For Hunt's ". Let me know if there is an interest for this. - Mishap

 

April 29th 2002

Everyone needs to check out the possibillity of our guild forming an alliance with Order of Anqara and Eye of the Manastorm. We would be three guilds helping each other out on raids and we would have a chat channel between all of us. Please keep in mind this open channel will not be used as a TP Hotline or as 1-800-BEG-AREZ. It's for finding like minded groups and for raid use.

I have a bunch of work to do on the site and I hope you'll all like the end result. Send me comments, photos or anything else you can think of that may help. - Mishap

 

March 26th 2002

Thanks to all that raided The Hole zone last Saturday. Ael and Daje got parts for their Epics and a good time was had with our Order of Anquara raid-mates :) Another raid is planned this coming Saturday, check the Message Board for info.

Three cheers to Janelane for being the first amongst us to attain her Epic Weapon ! Jane is a real backstabber now and I mean that in the best of ways :)

PASSWORDS for the Great Hall and War Room have been changed. Sorry for the hassle but passwords should be changed regularly to ensure that only current members have access to our guild message boards. I will post a guild MOTD with the new passwords.

Spell Bank updated - Have ya'll looked at the Spell Bank? Huks and Bad have given us a very impressive horde of spells ! Get in there you casters and use this service :)

Guild application updated. Roster updated but missing some info. - Mishap

 

March 03rd 2002

Hi all :) Roster updated but I fear I am missing folks. Welcome to the new members and I'm sorry if I missed you. Please email me with additions or changes. Also, I am thinking of removing all member pages that do not have a bio or pic. It would be less work and space. Only those members willing to send in a bio and a pic would have a page. Let me know what you think.

Spell Page updated thanks to Huks. Get in there and use them spells :) Photo Page updated (Seek, we posted how you and your pets look with Luclin graphics), keep sending in photos :)

Guild hunt last friday night was fun and I think most of us have Seb keys now. Aelitan did a great job finding us an alternative hunt when we found CoM to be camped.

I want to get some use out of the Event Page. We need to post next hunt on Event Page two weeks in advance. That would give enough time for all to read and make changes if needed. Plus we will have more time to plan and discuss the hunt in the Message Board and make sure we can attend it. Let me know if that would work. - Mishap

 

January 21st 2002

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Lady Lace has been our Queen since almost our inception. She has led us well. She has also had to deal with the daily chores that leadership entails. She has grown weary of it and wishes to go back to her biggest worry being if her leggings match her bp. She wants to get back to playing for fun :)

Last night in Surefall Glade Lace transferred leadership to Aelitan. The vote for Aelitan to lead was unanimous by the Officers. Lace will remain in the guild as an Officer.

Aelitan has been a wonderful person to be with and has proven himself time and again to be a leader. He does us an honor to lift the crown of leadership and place that burden opon his brow. We hope all of our members show him full support and wait at least a week before beseiging him with problems, situations or concerns :) LoL

Welcome our newest member, Lace :) She's a 55th level Druid and she's very special to all those that really know her. Thanks for joining us Lace :) - Mishap

 

January 05th 2002

Welcome to the new year :) May it be happy and prosperous to all of us.

Aelitan has a poll going on the Message Board for where the next guild hunt will be. Get in there and vote :) I just updated the Roster and will add the new member's pages shortly. Let me know if I missed anything.

On the subject of missed things I need to apologize to Tyreson. He has been an Officer for some time and I failed to update his title in the Roster. Two days spent in the Queen's Torture Chamber has restored my memory and I have added the title. And no Tyre, the Torture Chamber is meant to be a punishment and you can't buy tickets :)

Welcome to our newest members - Roll, Keky, Shome, Qalaminu, Hermonie, Kissmez and Canla. Happy to have you amongst us :)

Spell bank updated thanks to Huks and Baddog and Photo page updated thanks to Seek and Aelitan. - Mishap
