~~~ EM EVENTS ~~~

Tuesday, October 14th, 9pm - 10pm EST – Short Audiences with King Blackthorn
King Blackthorn will be holding short audiences in the throne room, for a period of one hour. There is no need to file a request ahead of time for this one.

Sunday, October 19th, 7pm EST - Council of Governors Meeting
The next Council meeting. The King will be discussing recent events, including the raid of the Vesper and the need to better secure the realm's roadways against bandits. Town Guard Captains are requested to attend.

Sunday, October 26th - Fall Community Day
A day to celebrate and show off our shard, and to have some fun doing it.

Fall Community Day Schedule - Sunday, October 26th All times EST.

1pm-2:30pm - Guild/Group Meet & Greet 1.
An opportunity to visit with friendly guilds and organized (or organizing) groups of the shard. This is designed to introduce newcomers and recent returnees to members and associations of our community. The recruitment tables that have been placed at Luna and New Haven will be utilized for this - there are seven of them altogether, meaning we have space for that many guilds/groups. If you would like a table, please leave a bag with the following in the Community Affairs mailbox (next to the EM Hall in Britain): 1) a sealed book with your guild's information you would like displayed, 2) a registration book containing your guild/group name, the names of those representing you at the table, which M&G you are registering for, and a preferred location. The first book will be placed at your table, and will remain there as long as the tables do. The sign at the table will be changed to reflect your guild while you are utilizing it. This would be a great opportunity not only to recruit new players, but also to show off player run towns and establishments. I will be setting these up on Saturday evening, so I need the information by Saturday at 9pm EST.

4pm-5pm - Costume Contest. Prepare your most creative costume and enter the costume contest to be held at the new Rewards Hall. Commemorative installations will be placed inside the hall for the winners. There are two categories: Best Individual Costume, and Best Ensemble. Registration begins at 3:45 - please bring a book with your character name, and what your costume is supposed to be/represent.

5:30pm-7pm - Guild/Group Meet & Greet 2. The same as the first one. Registration for this one is needed in the same manner, but the deadline is 30 minutes prior. After that, if someone wishes a table and there is one open, they can have it. Priority is given to those who register for this time slot, though if a guild desires to have a presence at both sessions, they may request it and will be accommodated if possible. The earlier the registration, the better, so that I can make a schedule - there are only seven spots available each session.

7:30pm-9pm - Catskills v Doom. With Treasures of Doom active, we'll spend some quality time among the demons and undead (on Catskills we usually just do this at Council of Governor Meetings! ba-dum-tssh). Perhaps some will be able to snag a few of the new shinies, or learn if the "prophetic manuscripts" are as boring as they sound!

10pm-??? - Tavern Crawl with Lieutenant Jeffrey. The Lieutenant has been given the night off and intends to partake of the finest of the fine beverages the realm has to offer. Have a tavern you'd like to open for the evening? An opportunity for some fun RP - just don't call it "tavern sitting," because it is...a crawl...or something.

Where possible, moongates will be provided from the EM Hall in Britain. Schedule is subject to minor changes (should we spend that long in Doom? Should one M&G be designated as "RP focused" and the other OOC? I'm open to suggestions on this). I would encourage someone to plan something for the morning if they have an idea for it. I will be in and out during the M&Gs after they start. Please, feel free to let anyone you know who is thinking about coming back to Catskills (and the game), or trying the shard on, to come visit on Sunday.


Confirmed Events have been added to our UO Catskills Facebook page and @UOCatskills Twitter feed as well as coordinated with the official UO Fan page and Twitter and the UHall Events Calendar. :)

I have a lot of things planned for October since it is the anniversary of PGoH's founding. I'll have specifics posted later this week probably but if anyone is looking at a specific date from around the 5th to the 17th please let me know so I can rearrange my plans.

All I have is my Town Halls every 2 weeks, but they are at 4 PM EST just for this type of situation. It allows others to use the night time hours for other things. Shouldn't conflict. Let me know if it does.

Shouldn't be any issue. I'll be doing later at night since I finally made it back to 1st shift and the summertime 6 day weeks are over.

Thom, that's like ALL the days :p

I will do my best to work times around so that there are hopefully no conflicts. We've got RTB going on so it is good that the shard will be so active - lets reel us in some new (old) friends.

Sorry Barnaby. I know it's a lot but it's an important time for the guild. I'll gladly rework around your schedule any time.

Of course. As I've always maintained, I'll do what I can to make sure I don't schedule something to conflict with player-led shard-wide initiatives.

Expect a tentative schedule by Monday, folks. I say tentative because while I want to get firm dates set for a few things (Council Meeting, an upcoming Investigation), there are other things that I may be more flexible with.

Considering that with the exception of maybe two other governors I am the only one that holds consistent posted events for the shard I didn't think it would be a problem that I added a few to my usual schedule. This is the month of the founding of our guild 17 years ago, we have done this before in October and I have mentioned it several times before I came up with this schedule. I'm not sure what changed between me posting my intentions and actually posting the schedule. Of the 11 days 1 is not an event it is a tavern night that I only included because you asked for it to be decided (I honestly don't think they need to be on an event schedule), 3 are events PGoH is known for, 2 are things for the city of Trinsic, 1 is a monthly event that falls in the date range I initially specified, and the rest are either very short or previous plans. I'll have the posts up with times and descriptions later today or Monday after EM Barnaby posts his schedule.

If you could change the fishing competition end awards to the docks that would be appreciated. I always do the awards at the docks at 8 pm. I'm also cancelling the auction for tonight. I'll set up an alternate day for that soon.

BTW does anyone else want to be the admin for the UOCatskills Facebook page? If so, would be a great help! Especially since my time this month is like almost NILL.

Que's location is 28o 28'S, 42o 23'W in Trammel, and as said it'll 'open' at 9 eastern, but I'll try to get there at least an hour before that

Well thank you! I must have misunderstood Alfonso then.. when he said you had missed the last four consecutive. Appreciate the correction! I'll be sure to attend all from now on!

I missed two.... and I said its been because of my work schedule this month. And now that you've started to come... 8 months later .... I don't feel its necessary anymore.

So... just so we're clear here. No meetings in November for Britain? Curious since I might be able to use the earlier time slot if your not using it.

I look forward to harassing you both soon!
Honestly, I am dead tired of the harassment. So many other cities with missing governors.... so many other places to "claim" .... I am like really THROUGH with it always being me and mine. I just want to RP with my own people in my own FAR AWAY corner of the world that doesn't ever interject with anyone else's because its made impossible for any of us to do so. The only things I take any enjoyment in are my Governing in Brit (which nothing I do there involves you folks in Trinsic or Skara Brae, or hell even Umbra, and I am more than willing to be pushed out of that) and the guild RP we do in Umbra & the Lair, that's it. And low and behold its the two things people want to pick on. Like I don't even come around any of you... why can't the hell that be returned?

Thom, take whatever days you want because I NEVER schedule anything during your normal hours... mine are at 4 especially to not butt heads with your events. I give you that courtesy. As I said, and say again, this month has been release month for my software at work. I have also been very very sick since mid-Sept now (right before my birthday --- @Norrar can vouche for me on that) with a cardiac issue that has presented itself due to my Cystic Fibrosis. I turned 40 this year, a HUGE milestone for someone like me with CF who by now is usually on a double lung transplant list. And honestly the stress of this crap isn't helping.... so why keep pressing it?

My harassment is strictly In Character. Don't stress over it. I'm not picking on anything, or anyone. I don't know you and it isn't personal. I am sorry you feel that way, even after our ICQ conversation. But, for us it's just RP. If you don't want to participate, that's fine. Evil doesn't ask permission from Good guys anyway ( that would be OOC ). Sorry you feel ill and hope you recover in time for your birthday.

Let's take a step back here for a moment. I am not in any way shape or form trying to do anything with Britain or Umbra. And if you recall I actually stood up for you keeping Umbra at the last meeting, so a little less including me and mine in things that we aren't a part of would be nice. Thanks.

On the other note, I asked because I try not to schedule over anybody. But if your not doing it then I can try getting things in earlier. Despite not putting my business all over the forums I actually have a thing called a life that doesn't have anything to do with you or what your doing. I'm not picking on you, i'm not trying to "steal" your days or times. I honestly don't know why your bringing health issues into it, or think that I need or want anybody to confirm whatever it is you may have. I simply wanted to know if you were going to run the meetings next month while i'm making my plans for my events. I'm terribly sorry to have harassed you with my question about a schedule.

I don't even know why Skara Brae was brought up here I haven't had any contact with you (Pandora) in months. Quite literally months since I have even spoken to you, of you, or even around you.

Due to my position at Stratics I have deleted what I had planned on posting in this thread.
I have stepped down as Governor of Skara. While I enjoy RP very much, this simply isn't fun for me anymore.
I've tried to participate but my opinions and desires were ignored. I tried to keep to myself and play, that isn't enough because I still get called out like this.
So I am done. I don't have a strong enough (and the seemingly required) sense of entitlement to participate anymore.
Unfortunately all I sought was to preserve the integrity of the game.

Pandy I am truly sorry for your health issues and hope that you continue to hit new milestones. I doubt anyone that plays this game wishes you ill health or stress.

That being said, you CANNOT be governor of the largest city in Sosaria and then say DO NOT RP WITH ME AND MINE!

Just the act of running for control of that city pushes you into the midst of the shard RP. If the attention is too harmful to your health, might I suggest you step down and allow someone that wants to RP with the other towns the chance to run Brit.?

Your health should be first and foremost in you mind, not the affairs and drama of an online game.

Flutter, for the most part the entire governors scenario is a bit of a flop.

Thom is in charge of Trinsic-(PGoH always has and always will)
Aedon was left Guardian of Aegis and Yew by the Knights of Yew (Does not recognize any governors or kings)
Umbra is over run with Undead thingies (seems appropriate
Brit is over run with Undead thingies (and the king seems fine with this?)
Skara is again in the hands of Rangers and you(yay)
Moonglow is over run with Va'lis (heheh why not? )
And oh yes, there are those other towns.

Favors asked for towns seem to mostly be granted to a select few. (Meh,)

I agree with you that for the most part playing UO does not seem like the fun it once was. But I do still enjoy an evening talking with Thom, I look forward to seeing James running Ques again, The Rangers in Skara are a total hoot. Especially the Great Ranger. I think that Jacuyl and her crew hold much promise for some interesting interaction, that I think you might enjoy being a part of their rp. We do not need a governors council or an undead king to RP. And though the game is not the fun it once was, with a little time, we can still make it something we can enjoy.

RP with those you enjoy Flutter, and cut the rest off like dead wood.

It's not you Flutter (surprisingly) that I mean by Skara Brae.

Exactly what is going to happen, Aedon. You all can start celebrating.
