<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">One: Ensure that your Time Offset is
set correctly so that your Event Calendar Post will appear as the
correct time when other users view it. Often times events suffer
from low participation because the Time Offset is set to default,
resulting in an absurd time displaying like 12-Midnight.</font></p>

Control Panel and at the bottom of that page, choose to edit
"Display preferences, number of shown threads, languages,

<font size="2">As anyone will tell you: be wary when venturing into
Felucca, especially near Idols of the Champions. Many of the larger
PvP guilds on the shard attempt to lay claim to Champ Spawns,
utilizing a variety of methods ranging from repetitive hourly
patrols to the popular 'ghost cam' method. Safety at Champion
Spawns depends entirely on how fast you can complete the Spawn and
how well you can defend from invaders. Stay sharp!</font></p>

    <font color="#564943" size="2"><a name="E1" id="E1"></a>What
    is the basic history of the Chesapeake Shard and its player-ran
    aspects?</font>
    </p>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">A very brief precis of Chesapeake Community and
RP History:</font></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">In 1997 Chesapeake was born. Within no-time mines
were mined out, and gold was earned; which gave way to the first
guilds on the shard. Among these guilds were community-based guilds
like The Band and The Sillyhood, as well as
player-killer guilds like Keepers of Chaos. In the days of
only Felucca people had a tendency to stick together, and so
several player towns were formed. Most famous of all was PaxLair,
followed by Corwyn, Aryslan, Haven, Humility, Shadowcove, the Duir
of Yew, Oberon Pass, Dragons Watch, the Olag Hai Orc Fort and the
vampire town of Gehenna.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">
</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">Within a year these towns had grown to such a level
that player-governments were established along with inter-town
co-operation setups, basically forming a "Chesapeake Community".
Player towns in Felucca were not entirely safe though, and the PK
guilds often appeared to collect taxes. A flourishing Community was
host to literally dozens of daily scheduled events (weddings,
trials, openings of taverns, poetry recitals, etc) as well as an
uncountable number impromptu gatherings at such popular hangout
locations as the <a href=
"http://uo.stratics.com/shard/Chesapeake/cp_TallTaleTavern.shtml">PaxLair
Saloon</a>, Gehenna Spire, <a href=
"http://uo.stratics.com/shard/Chesapeake/cp_Duir.shtml">Duir
Tavern</a>, <a href=
"http://uo.stratics.com/shard/Chesapeake/cp_BlackRoseBrewery.shtml">
Black Rose Brewery</a> and the <a href=
"http://uo.stratics.com/shard/Chesapeake/cp_FalconersInn.shtml">Falconers
Inn</a>.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">Then came Trammel.


</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">Many of the Feluccan towns and Establishments were
abandoned for the PK-free lifestyle in Trammel, where new towns
were started and new adventures were had. Some of the popular areas
of Trammel included Mythndale, Silvervale, Nidaros, Casandreal,
Akalabeth, Camelot and New Shadowcove. The Trammel era lasted a few
years, but was brought to a halt with the opening of Malas.


</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">The early Malas years were the end of organized
player-ran activity, as Britannia's population dwindled. In the
midst of this decline, new areas such as the Red Wolf Cafe of
Gyldenfeld were born, along with similar small establishments. The
old Feluccan towns suffered greatest during these days, and many
had fallen into permanent ruin. PaxLair, once the most popular area
on the shard was reduced to a startlingly small population and
areas like Corwyn were actively packaged up, having their doors
firmly bolted down with wood - for ever.


</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">Chesapeake History changed once again with the
creation of the Islands of Tokuno where PaxOku - an area of PaxLair
- was founded. The Red Wolf Cafe and other independent
establishments picked up in popularity and community seemed to
stabilize with the creation of weekly "Chesapeake Community Nights"
and the two-week victory over the Invasion of Britain by swarms of
ratmen, trolls, ettins and ogres. Throughout these last few years,
several of the shard's key leaders, including Winfield of PaxLair,
Tancred RedStar and Xotche of Meade helped to bring about large,
organized, community-wide player events called "Seasonal Festivals"
which included Octoberfests, and Winter, Spring and Summer
Festivals.


</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">Which brings us to now. Where will Chesapeake be in
a few years? Only time will tell!

<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">While this is a very broad question to answer, there
are a few simple things that an individual can do to become a
future part of Chesapeake History.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">First: simply get involved. Attend Community Nights,
player-ran events, visit player-towns and taverns and involve
yourself with some of the more popular guilds on the shard.


</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">Additionally, if you're so bold: start something
new! New things are born on Chesapeake every day. Something like
the Red Wolf Cafe, only a few years old now has just as much
history and substance as a city such as PaxLair, which is entering
its 8th year.


</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">As well: act as a liaison between different groups
in the community. Having a vast knowledge of the shard can empower
you to meet with new people and help plan and run large-scale
events like Seasonal Festivals, or Olympics.


</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left">
<font size="2">And finally: stay informed. News is important as it
builds your knowledge of all things going on and allows you to
expand your horizons so that you have a more solid base on which to
create something unique for the shard. And News is enjoyable too.
Who knows, one day you could be on the other side of the
pen!</font></p>
