The Arcane Order is the biggest mages guild in yliakum If you want to join our guild, read through this thread and visit our website, after that we require each member to come to our IRC channel to have a talk with some of the councilmembers(read our pages for more information).
O.K. let me get to the revamps, recently we found many holes in our ranks so we have revamped oursystem, The council now consists of:
Arcane Spellsword ? SnowWolf
Arcane Loremaster ? Karakth
Arcane Nightblade ? Axsyrus
Head Librarian ? Ave
Headmaster of Field Studies ? Malentor
Chief Ambassador ? Druke
The Changes
To facilitate the management of guild affairs, a new Council has been put in place. These members will take care of any pending guild business (like promotions) and then begin the task of writing and implementing the new guild bylaws. After this has been accomplished and the guild has stabilized, members of the Order will have an opportunity to voice their opinions and make any necessary changes to the guild leadership.
The new Council is made up of the Arcane Triumvirate and three of the guild?s project leaders. All members of the Council have equal say in higher guild matters.
Ranks
or other ranks are still the same
Spellswords - This branch is for fighters who practice magical skills to aid in combat, thus Fighter/Mages. Our spellswords are our protection, the threat of their revenge serves to keep our guild at peace and Spellsword will protect fellow members on quests etc.
NightBlades - This branch is for rogues who use magic to aid improve their stealth, spying, stealing, backstabbing etc. They are thus Rogue/Mages. Nightblades serve as AO\'s eyes and ears, they provide us the necessary intelligence and subversive capability we need to survive in a dangerous world.
LoreMasters - This branch is for our pure mages, who will mainly practice their magical abilities. The LoreMaster branch is the mainstay of Mages that make AO the Mage guild that it is, however all three branches have equal status and are equally important to AO.
Projects, etc
We have many projects also in Progress such as hexaglyphs (http://www.hexaglyphs.arcaneorder.com), the arcane tower construction project, the arcane library, and many others.
Roleplay is also Highly encouraged, we have many great materials in the Arcane Library (http://www.arcaneorder.com/library.php) many people i have spoken with say the especially enjoy Serdin\'s Diary (http://www.arcaneorder.com/listchapters.php?story=65) We also have our forum based RP which takes place around the tower, and quite possibly other places.
Joining
As many of you know AO is invite only, however this isn\'t ment to be a scary thing, it merly lets us sift through and find who is serious and who is not, if you jsut come to our irc channel (more on that below), or participate in other things (such as the forum rp) you will almost surely get an invite.
As always, check our homepage at http://www.arcaneorder.com for more information(or just something for something to read in our arcane library) or drop by at our IRC channel, #arcaneorder @ quakenet. Or use our Irc program(applet Axsyrus can die easy now) at http://www.irc.arcaneorder.com be sure to ask our arcane bot any question you may have
With that i take my leave...

You might want to note that AO is one of the oldest guilds in PS, and not just some newly created thing that disappears again after a while. :)

druke use a spell checker before you post...
Trianas learn to think and research before you post, then you dont end up looking like an ass and going in my bad books.
which btw is a bad place to be... ;)

Exactly... this doesn\'t mean we\'re inactive though, as there is lots of activity on our forums and irc channel..
-
you just got to find our corners, also, a new idea is going poping up here soon, as suggested by Phineas :D so stay tuned
-
Lol, dreadful thread :P.
Anyway, it\'s good to see AO shinning again this bright... I guess :P.

Shhhhh!
Levski proceeds to tape Druke\'s mouth shut.

*lynx strolls by and coughs:* More workforce! *cough* *and proceeds away*
-
Pheh, new...Us...
Anyway, yup, we\'ve come out of our Tower to wish you all a good day and take a short break from our dusty studies. Enjoying the Azure Sun and all that. We\'ve got some exciting things planned (although I am not sure how many of these we can actually implement before CB) which we hope you will enjoy.
As Xalthar and Druke said, we are mostly active on our forums and on IRC, although we do have a few members who may be found ingame at times.
About my IC Diary: It\'s been a while since I updated (I\'ve been abroad). What with preparing for school and work and whatnot, I haven\'t had time to digitize my work, but I will ASAP.
Right then, feel free to drop by our forums (http://forums.arcaneorder.com) and join us in our roleplay or OOC discussions.
Edit: A few typos...
-
We now have a new section in our Library: Public Writings (http://www.arcaneorder.com/viewsection.php?section=4)
This section was created to allow non-members to have their works published in the Arcane Library.
To be able to start writing, you will have to create an account. (http://www.arcaneorder.com/register.php)
Once your registration is complete, your name will appear in the list of Guests in the Guestbook and you`ll be ready to start writing.
-
Writing ooohh I got some writings for you, or atleast I will sometime in the future :D
-
Druke.... 8o
Not cool... ;(
Is this a direct response?
-
?? no
Phiny proposed the idea, we formulated it, and decided it was a good idea with a few alterations.
-
Oh my goodness! I cannot believe you did this. Low, very low.
-
I read the last eight or so responses, and I\'m still confused.
What exactly is low and evil here?
-
hmm? What\'s the problem. Phinehas suggested this in the AO forum a while back, and now that they have decided to have it, you\'re still whining???
Are you ever happy???
-
If all goes well, you will see on Monday, Monketh.
Xordan, the problem is not that they did it because Phinehas suggested it, they did it to undermine the.. urm... yeah, you will see.
Or am I wrong Druke? :rolleyes:
-
you are quite mistaken
phiny\'s idea was a good one, but running in our forums and calling us snobs po\'d me off more than a little.
we\'ve been discussing this idea for a while, phiny wasn\'t the first to propose the idea.

And what, if I may be as blunt to ask, has us having an open library got anything to do with your plans? We simply followed a suggestion.. One of your suggestions as far as I know, and now you start whining?! Pathetic really...
-
ok drak let me restate
the idea had been around a while, poping up briefly in council meetings..
however after phiny\'s idea got proposed we started thinking aobut it more seriously
-
No one is whining :P, it was a good kick in the rear end for us to finish...
I\'m surprised the Cabal doesn\'t know about it.
-
Of course I know about your Mage Organization...
And I\'ve had an account in the library for over a week now... you\'re a bit slow aren\'t you :P
-
Long before Phinehas proposed the idea the basic coding was in... we where just lazy and really didnt care about it... Phinehas pushed us a little bit....
and as for the ao being low... what about you guys.. your ripping us of.

Hehe :D
Oh yeah, here\'s the link to the Athenaeum of Magic ( \"The Arcaneum\" you like as well yes ;)) : http://www.freepgs.com/levski/ (http://www.freepgs.com/levski/)*cough*ripoff*cough*
-
Glad to see some stuff happening around here. Its about time that AO got some concurrence. Lots of people think theyve become too snobbish lately and I partially agree.
About ripping AO off, Phinehas\' organisation was not a rip off until you guys decided to make a public forum. I dont see whats wrong with this conflict. AO\'s monopoly on magic is threatened and will probably force them to think about their reputation so they dont lose members to Phinehas.
Now most AO members seem to be afraid of a conflict and try to come with good and peaceful explanations. Its obvious that you opened the new forum as a response to the new organisation, so you should expect consequences, as the wise mages you are...
And anyway, why decide if it\'s a ripoff or not? Let time show what happens. If lots of people decide to join this new organisation then maybe it was a good ripoff...
-
When you think about it, a lot of ideas that are called \"stolen\" aren\'t really new, they\'re recycled to begin with. Is there some method by which the stories/books on the Arcaeneum forums are transfered to the main page? \"Ripoff\" Guilds are allowed, you know.
edit: ...and organizations, how did I miss that?
Regardless, now that I know of it\'s existance, I have one more forum to visit.
[OT:Ah, yes, and the bit on azure glyphs has a bunch of pictures that are linkdead.]
-
I see Xordan and the Cabal still retain some of their old qualities :).
And isnt copy/pasting stuff from planeshift.it, rpgrules.xml and other sites into your library just... low?
Where do you see things that are ripped off? About the general Arcane? It\'s just a general statement. Need I remind you of this? http://www.arcaneorder.com/listchapters.php?story=11
Besides, that is the only thing there. What other sites Crj?
Long before Phinehas proposed the idea the basic coding was in... we where just lazy and really didnt care about it... Phinehas pushed us a little bit....
and as for the ao being low... what about you guys.. your ripping us of.
To an extent the real rip-off wasn\'t ours, what do you think forced them to make their library open if it wasn\'t the threat of ours? As he said, the idea had been there for a long time, but hadn\'t been acted upon. Enough said there.
The Arcane Order is a guild. The Athenaeum of Magic will be an organization. There is a big difference there. Now forgive me for saying this, but exactly when was it stated that the AO will and should have a monopoly over the Arcane Arts?
Monketh, exactly how is this a rip-off? The AO is a guild. There is a fine line between what we are doing and creating a guild. As you will soon see, it will not just be a library, as some of our misinformed friends here believe.
What you guys should know is that you don\'t know exactly what this will be, do you? Part of it is a library, but that is just part. Speculation and accusing this as being a rip-off isn\'t going to get you anywhere until you know more about us, which isn\'t going to happen until we decide to make the whole thing public.
The forum is where everything will be submitted through, we will have librarians with editing permissions for the main page who will upload it when it is finished or when the author wants them to.
About the images, I know, it\'s the damned ewiki which is trying to cache the images in its own database.
And, I want to ask everyone to stop spamming the Arcane Order thread, as this is not an Athenaeum of Magic thread. Also, if all you will do is call us rip-offs when our thread emerges, don\'t bother to post there.
Edit: Xordan, you can only now be a member of the forum, the forum user database is all we will be using, and you aren\'t a member of the forum.

*AO will have a monopoly over the arcane arts. Any other guild or org will be blown to 1000000000000000 pieces or smaller if possible.

Evidently my quotation marks were misunderstood. The intended concept was that the group is accused of being a \"ripoff\", not that it is one.

i\'m so adding that to my sig

trust me you rather we just try to make explanations redmonk... you dont want to see us mad.
and what is wrong with being a snob?
-
And no this is not a double post.
\"Where do you see things that are ripped off? About the general Arcane? It\'s just a general statement. Need I remind you of this? http://www.arcaneorder.com/listchapters.php?story=11
Did you even read that book? SnowWolf wrote that himself almost a year ago, it\'s nothing like the descriptions in rpgrules.xml at all, whereas your version is exactly the same. If you can\'t see the difference here, just stop discussing already.
To an extent the real rip-off wasn\'t ours, what do you think forced them to make their library open if it wasn\'t the threat of ours? As he said, the idea had been there for a long time, but hadn\'t been acted upon. Enough said there.
The idea of having something for the general public was in the AO Council forums right after we went invite-only, since invite-only means you can\'t just go mass-recruiting, we needed another way of keeping newbies close to us
However, than the council got into a fight, several members left, and the whole thing became low-priorit untill after we got the whole guild sorted out again
About ripping AO off, Phinehas\' organisation was not a rip off until you guys decided to make a public forum. I dont see whats wrong with this conflict. AO\'s monopoly on magic is threatened and will probably force them to think about their reputation so they dont lose members to Phinehas.
We\'ve had public forums from day UNO!
And our library isnt a set of forums. They were compleatly coded by ourselves and are not just a collection of scripts we uploaded.
Besides, all we did was announce we had a new section, and you started yelling at us, now don\'t go play the Victim here.

That if you\'re a snob with no style, you become lame... look at Druke\'s sig for a good example...
Now stop it everyone;
Levski, Phinehas: You make yourselves look n00bish
AO: You make yourselves look utterly lame
To think I used to consider AO the best guild around :rolleyes:
-
We don\'t have a monopoly on mages...Need I mention that many, many, many guilds have Magic departments?
Also, the AO and the MA are fundamentally different. MA being an organization and AO being a guild, there is no reason why, for example, a person cannot be a member of both.
As for us being snobs...Why is it that I hear this so often? Because we\'re invite-only? The newly-implemented system allowing guests to sign the guestbook and create an account will be used for people wishing to join. Anyone can sign up. Or maybe it\'s because we don\'t jump into every offer of alliance made to us? I am sure you are all smart enough to understand that an alliance is a heavy oath to take. Or maybe because we believe the way and reason we practice magic to be superior to others? I wish to clear this up; there have been many misinterpretations to this. It does not a comment on our level of skill in spellcasting, but our ethics of spellcasting. While others might pursue the Arcane Arts to add a \"magic muscle\" in their fighting, or indeed for any other advantage, we research magic for the sake of it. Our goal is to fully understand magic in Yliakum and perhaps even on other planes of existence. We believe this to be a pure and superior approach to magic; but that is just what we believe. Different churches have different approaches to the same religions; we have a different approach to magic. Obviously if we did not think it superior, we would not follow it.
Of course, there might be some other reason we are deemed snobs, and I for one would be eager to hear what the community has to say; please do point out to us where you percieve us snobbing something or other, there\'s no need to beat around the bush and make abstract comments about snobbery. We need to know what you think we\'re doing wrong before we fix it.
I also have a few comments which I wish to make about the MA, but I will post those in the relevant thread later.
-
It\'s really amusing watching you guys tear me to pieces while I\'m not around.
Let me make my official stand clear.
First of all, yes, I have a personal feud against AO. It is ic only.
Second, what bothers me about the library part of AO is not the fact that they opened it to all. In fact, I\'m glad for them. I believe there is room for both of us. After all, what city the size of Hydlaa would have only one library? What bothers me is that they acted like snobs, and generally told me I was a jerk for suggesting a public library. In all honesty, I did call them snobs, and perhaps said some other things that I regret. However, I still believe that they could\'ve mentioned the fact that they were considering a public library. That probably would have solved the whole problem.
Thirdly, as already mentioned, the Athanaeum of Magic is an organization. Yes, there will probably be some rivalry between the AO and AM, but that is not to be helped.

ok so for calling you a jerk because you called us snobs is snobbish
you know, no one can give us a stright answer as to why we\'re snobs everyone seems to have the large illusion about us, it is not true.
someone give me a decent answer so that i may reply and react , you have two counilors begging to know how we can better our guild.
edit:
That if you\'re a snob with no style, you become lame... look at Druke\'s sig for a good example...
ok...sorry for having a sence of humor, i posted that since this is what everyone seems to believe. And i myself think its quite funny.

oh... yea, now I find that funny... because when Tepsu did something that everyone seemed to believe, as a result you and Sep went off rebelling against him :D
How do they call it? Hypocrisy?
-
theres just tiny difference in what i am doing and what tepsu did, jsut a tiny one...
besides the word rebel is quite an open term, bah, whatever thats an old subject and doesn\'t need to be brought up in this thread.

I just read through the thread on our forums in which you, Phineas, initially proposed a thread between CE and AO.. We started out questioning your motives, and after Illyria showed you how we handled alliances, you slowly became more and more hostile, ending up with you, when confronted with the fact that we didn\'t allow non-ao members to submit writings to our library, calling us snobs.
Oh and let\'s not forget that was after whining about the spelling in the existing stories, and your proclamation of being able to do a much better job at spelling yourself.
We are a guild, you join us and you get certain benefits.. Benefits of social quality are the only ones we can provide at the moment, what with CB not out yet.. So our library was one of these qualities that you had to be a member to participate in and to read certain parts of it.
We had realised before then, and were actually discussing wether or not to make it public in our council forums before you came suggesting it at our forums.. Let\'s just say you gave us a nudge in the \"right\" direction.
I\'m not out to get you or flame you or anything, I\'m just unhappy with the way people have been spreading nonsense and lies about the AO as a whole, when you most likely don\'t know any of us!
Please, get to know the next guild a bit more before you start calling us snobs.
Spinning webs of lies and deceit is low. Making a library open to the public isn\'t.

I can. I\'ll also have you note that I offered to help with that. More than once, I might add.

And so.... you were rude to me? You could\'ve said you were considering it, but that it just hadn\'t happened yet. I would\'ve accepted that.

I never said it was. And as for knowing the guild. Let me point out that there was a time in which I would have liked to join. So not everything I say comes from preconceived ideas. There was a time that I thought you guys were the greatest. As for spinning webs of lies and deceit. If that\'s referring to me, then it\'s nonsense.

I agree that Windwalker might have been a bit rash, but if you got to know him before making remarks about us (including him) being snobbish, or thinking yourself better at spelling than others (not saying you aren\'t) you\'d see that he is a wonderful guy...
I can.
Prove it. as SnowWolf said you could rewrite the stuff and PM it to a councilmember, he\'d look it through and if he deemed it worthy he\'d edit the story with your spelling corrections...
And so.... you were rude to me? You could\'ve said you were considering it, but that it just hadn\'t happened yet. I would\'ve accepted that.
Rude? I\'d like you to point out what parts you see as rude, and please take your own response and snobbishness into consideration... Yes, I would consider an outsider proclaiming himself the better speller in a guild of mages a snob :P

At the time you wanted to join us, you didn\'t know any of us... You still don\'t, so calling us snobs is really based upon nothing, but the replies in the forum thread, and quite frankly I agree with the people I\'ve heard label you as an \"annoying n00b\".
Now, if you\'d stop spamming the thread with silly arguments, I\'d like to end this rather pointless debate.

LOL, im killing myself laughing here ... wonderful guy...
although i might have been a bit hasty... but then the guild was also upside-down at that point and you where getting on my nerves.
and to use that age old childish arguement.... YOU STARTED IT!
-
*ajow ajow* I wont even start. :rolleyes: ph
Back on topic: great! :) I think... uhm, probably. It will get useful when there will actually be some more writers out/in there. :P
Nothing is better for the end user than concurrence(sm?) - production just gets better and more accessible. :)

well calling you an illiterate bastard would have ruined my argument somewhat :P
-
Ok, I\'m not going to bother replying to that. Except to say that one day you\'ll regret calling me n00bish.
So, out of interest, do you guys accept writing on anything? Or just stuff pertaining to the arcane?

Keep in mind I was not the one calling you a n00b, I merely agreed with the ones doing so.. And from the above statement I\'ll have to agree even more with the general oppinion, I mean seriously come on.. I\'m choking from laughter here!
So, out of interest, do you guys accept writing on anything? Or just stuff pertaining to the arcane?
Litterature describing things of arcane matter, or your own personal story and experiences with magic are most welcome in our library. We would like all the writings to be in character and, of course, written by yourself as far as possible..
-
written by yourself as far as possible..
But not any further! :D :P :D
I think he wanted to say: do not to copy \"your\" texts from Morrowind.
-
Stop analysing my replies and read them for what they are!! :P
But now that it\'s been mentioned, yes, please do not copy any texts by other authors and paste them in our library! Write your own... this applies for everyone using our library.
-
Windwalker:LOL, im killing myself laughing here ...
Xalthar:I\'m choking from laughter here!
LOL! phew that was funny, Im all sweaty now
...
Anyway, you guys really should leave the tower more often. Why don\'t you come down to the tavern and let your friend Redmonk show you what real fun is? Maybe even hook you up with some ladies... :P
-
i do beleive it were somewhat of an inside joke.
and the general mood of the tavern tends to drive me aay, so i stick to our public rp in our forums.
-
We have a new apprentice studying amongst us. Big welcome to Aewheros from all the guild!
-
Congratz :D
-
We\'ve two new apprentices of late, Leiraine ,and Niavard

i saw niavard in game he gave me moneys 8)

yeah Niavard lends easily money
I\'m happy to say i finally rejoined the AO :)

Druke, you misspelled the name of your own apprentice... how mean :P .
And to pretend that I\'m not spamming the thread, I will just say that the order is a truly wonderful place, and whoever calls us snobs will have to face my wrath... Ever since I happenned to come to irc channel everyone has been really-really nice, patient and helpful. And I\'m not even going to start about how smart and devoted to the guild most of the members are ^.^

yes yes we\'re snobs.... we just havent gotten around to pounding it into the apprentices yet
and for anyone who didnt get druke ...
does anyone ever understand druke?
the ao.com site is down until further notice
oh and btw Phinehas.... go spam your own thread

Well, but it is true that the Arcane Order almost never is to be seen in-game... It doesn\'t matter how much roleplaying you do, if you never play in the game!? You ARE a PlaneShift guild, right?
Besides, if you never are playing, you\'ll not get any skills. Would not be very impressive if the \"High Loremaster\" or whatever you call him, can\'t cast the most simpel spell...
More playing in the ArcaneOrder!
-
I\'ve seen the AO in-game plenty of times. They must be too uber cool for you to see them. Don\'t worry, It happens to alot of ignorant people. 8)
-
But there are plenty of other guilds that are logged in much more often and are much bigger. I know that the arcane order is quite hard (if you are not roleplaying) to join, but my point is that they could try to shut off their IRC:channels and forums and do some playing a little more often...
-
Please notice the limited amount of magic spells implemented, and improving your stats right now are pointless. Playing CB now is just as pointless as playing MB, perhaps even more so.
On the other hand, AO isn\'t the most active guild (publically), but perhaps thats how thay want to remain. Unbenounced and mysterious. :)
-
A: the ao isnt the biggest guild out there.. with about 20 members ao cannot have someone on all the time so your not going to see as much of us as say like... CoL
B: its pointless to play with so many crashes and bugs and low items and cheaters atm.
C: i for one play this game for FUN, my idea of fun usually involves alot of roleplaying.... ps has failed in this aspect so i\'ll stick to forum rp and such ..... now eventually i can live with the fact that ps isnt going to be a great RP stop but that will only happen after B. is fixed
D. we dont announce ourselves ingame and tend not to be around the highly populated areas.
i think that covers most everything
P.S. and its rather standard for mages to be unseen and unannounced.......

I am still having a good time playing CB. It has its purpose. We, the Sentinels of the Ragnarok, have been trying to make the best of it. We try to play as often as possible and get our name around. Recruiting has been another bonus because I am maxed out basically I can spend my time talking to people and helping.
-
we didn\'t ask for anyone\'s critisim on our methods, we\'ve been around for a year and a half, and we\'re still kicking it hard, jsut because you dont know what we do on the inside doesn\'t mean we\'re not active, see how anyone who\'s been around and knows there stuff hasn\'t really said anything, it just a bunch of you people who\'ve been here for less than 2-3 months
-
Druke is right. At the stage where CB is right now, it\'s not strange if some people decide to stay out of there.
Also there has already been the same discussion about activity on the DE thread and conclusion from that one was that guilds can be active without showing off in public, so no need to bring the disussion here...
These guys know what they are doing
-
Then why isn\'t the Arcane Order a secret guild?

The above discussion is about guilds being active without playing CB. We are \"showing off\" in public, anyone can check our website. All of us are just not very intersted in playing the tech demo for hours and hours, it is not really a good roleplaying environment yet and all you can do is leveling up the few skills implementd at the moment. We are no secret society, just try to hide the arcane tower. :D (Might be possible with some VERY powerful enchantment, though...)
Besides you seem to be obsessed by secret guilds at the moment, Themerion. If you still are guildless after a couple of months I will assume that you have created a secret Twilight Guild of your own. :P

For all I care, you ignorant n00bs can go play CB all you want, and cry your tiny little n00by hearts out when the big bad server whipe tears all your phat loot in half, and flushes it down the drain, just don\'t expect to invoke my sympathy when all you care about is exploiting, exploiting and nothing but exploiting...!
I\'ve done my fair share of testing, and I still log in once in a while to check up on things, but I\'ll be damned if I\'ll have every powerleveling wannabe n00b come to our thread and spam us with worthless nonsense!
Go TEST >:|
And yes, I am a goddamned snob... as long as being so elevates me beyond your lvl of incomeptence.

well said

Couldn\'t agree better. ;)

*Phinehas cries with joy.*
How I\'ve longed for a kindred spirit, you have no idea....
*edit: I still hate the AO. Nothing personal you guys. :D
-
trust me, the ao personally couldnt think less of you than they already do
-
the ao personally? How does that work?
But anyway, addressing what you meant, and not what you said... yeah, I know.
-
muahaha that\'s hilarious. The Arcane Order is considered as inactive now? Because there you don\'t see any of us ingame?
As far as i\'m concerned, i already have powerleveled all my magic skills and got all the spells so i prefer to stay on place that don\'t crash (and where you can rp). Because /dig for platinum begins to be somewhat boring...
*nods at windwalker*

20 members, it used to be 50. Well, I suppose I can\'t check seeing as our site is down?
Or did we move to another?
I don\'t know dudes.
I did some searching (on google) and couldn\'t find anything except some music ad sites by the name of ArcaneOrder.
If we have a new site, I wonder if I\'ll be given a master, I have been on probation for so long. Almost as long as I\'ve been in the guild, which is quite a while.
-
We keep in the member list only the real active people (that\'s why for example, Axsyrus is on the inactive list - although still virtually member i think). I think we can reach the 50 if we sum up all the inactive and others folk. But we don\'t need this kind of advertising (stares at a few guilds that do this to give the illusion of activity)
The site is indead down (not even my fault for a time :P). I hope this won\'t have as much consequences as for Rangers .. . I think it is part of the moving to the new host with uber bandwidth and storage (1.5 GB?). Druke will be the master of the new site of course (as he was for the old one)
-
actually :] found a better deal,..working on it as we speak actually
either my dad is going to get up and do it after his movie(its 11pm here so he may go to sleep), or tomarrow some time
-
Druke, what I want to know is what happened to that guinnea pig picture you had up on our old arcane order page some time ago. I really miss that guy, and I still think of it when I see Druke. Thats actually how I saw you for the first few months, I thought that our guild was founded by a guinnea pig. Of course I was on medication at that period so ....
-
yea...somone\'s going to be cleaning the chalkboard erasers for a while
-
So, I figure we\'re not going to have our site back for some time?

How wrong you are... As everything in ps, it will be up soon ^.^ In fact, it was up for a day *hugs Windy*, but then the company screwed everything up... don\'t really know the details. So Druke will be getting us a new and better home now ^.^
You can participate in the order without a site, too, you know? Why don\'t you just come to irc channel? It happens to be a lot of fun.. someimes :P

I would like to know more about your guild but all of the webpages in ya\'ll\'s signatures are broken links.
