Welcome to The FIRST edition of the Morningthaw News.
Written by Genya

This week's Highlighted Allegiance:
Warriors of Honor

You say, "First welcome and Thank you for giving me this time"
Moon Spirit says, "my pleasure Genya :)"
You say, "This will be your chance at a recruitment/ bragging/ informative allegiance article"

You say, "How long have you been a Monarch?"
Moon Spirit says, "actually one week today lol. And it has been a very busy week at that :)"

You say, "What is the name you chose for your allegiance?"
Moon Spirit says, "Our official name is Warriors of Honor (WoH)"

You say, "Is there a special meaning or reason for that name?"
Moon Spirit says, "Not particularly, the members put in suggestions and that was the one chosen :)"

You say, "Do you have a High Council that assists you with your monarchy duties?"
Moon Spirit says, "Not an official one, I did have an allegiance meeting last night to nominate QM's, Website and Rank Chain Mgrs. though. They are considered as my elders or advisors if you will :)"

You say, "May I ask whom was chosen? That way players looking to Join WoH may contact them."
Moon Spirit says, "Absolutely"
"The QM's chosen so far are: Ankhentomen, Theayl, Solid-Snake and Askani"
"The Rank Chain Mgrs. are Eyrie and Dushman Kush"
"The Website Creators and Mgrs. are Very Bordette al-oc and Mistress Alagren"
：The Pk/Pkl General is shared by Lore of Templar and Myself currently；

You say, "How many Followers Do you currently have in your family?"
Moon Spirit says, "We currently have 4069"

You say, "What makes your allegiance stand out from the rest?"
Moon Spirit says, "I would have to say alot of different things factor into that..."
We are very active and have people online 24/7..
As well as very experienced people to help others and run scheduled and impromptu quests at a moment notice...
But probably the biggest thing is we are all friends here, we try to keep it always a caring family attitude within the guild
I have members daily volunteering for things, such as body recoveries, keeping the bots running etc.

You say, "I know you were in the Rogue knights at one point. What caused you to branch out on your own?"
Moon Spirit says, "Actually its ironic the way everything worked out :)；

You say, "Care to Elaborate?"
Moon Spirit says, "I had been asked a long time ago to branch out on my own, but I didn・t feel I was a good enough leader. After being asked several more times before I left Evoker, I still didn・t think it would work out :) But once I decided to branch out and start fresh, I was pleasantly surprised by the support I received from people close to me"
You say, "Well you have always been well liked."
You say, "here is your big bragging/ recruitment time."

You say, "Please tell me about your allegiance that makes it unique and extraordinary. What attracts others to WoH?"
Moon Spirit says, "I think a large part of it is the ages of the members actually We have very few really young players, and hot-heads are not the norm....so far that is lol"
You say, "lol"
Moon Spirit says, "Of course, we do have a large contingent of bots set up in Arwic. 3-4 permanent buffbots as well as portal bots"
You say, "sounds like you have covered all bases for a well run allegiance"
Moon Spirit says, "I was also very fortunate to have the owner of DISTURBED choose to follow when I branched out, so he is also to be found in Arwic. We are also active in the UGoMT and have already had several multi-clan quests, so our services are not just limited to clan members :)"

You say, "Any hunts or quests coming up that you care to invite others in the world of MT to join your family of warriors on?"

Moon Spirit says, "We will be running weekly QQ's that will be posted on the UGoMT site, and also Ankhentomen will be running both the old and new Aerlinthe quest next week"

You say, "Thank you so much for your time Moon Spirit."
You say, "I wish you and the Warriors of Honor all the best!"

"PLAYER OF THE WEEK"
[font color=004258]Come meet Easton Truesight aka Slopoke[/font]

You say, "Firstly welcome and thank you for allowing myself, COD and others in the world of MT to get to know you better"
Slopoke tells you, "not a problem at all"

You say, "I am going to ask you some questions and just answer them the best you can"
You say, "Are you ready?"
Slopoke tells you, "ok :D"
Slopoke tells you, "and yes"

You say, "How long have you been in AC?"
Slopoke tells you, "I started around Jan 2001. a friend had been playing for a while already and sucked me in "

You say, "Is this the first MMPORG you have ever played?"
Slopoke tells you, "yes the one and only. We had played a d and d and other games like that together in groups before but nothing on line"

You say, "So what got you hooked on Dereth?"
Slopoke tells you, "well at first there was so much to see, we had a group of about 10 rl friends that played together almost nightly" I remember dying on the beaches of eastham for a month"
You say, "lol"
Slopoke tells you, "and camping the dillo spawns at the ne beach for longer"
Slopoke tells you, "camping"
Slopoke tells you, "sigh"

You say, "What is your earliest memory of your time in Dereth?"
Slopoke tells you, "hating and I mean hating those blue wasps" they were absolutely doom for me. I remember seeing a lvl 40 char and saying there is no way I will ever get there "
You say, "I understand that."

You say, "What is your funniest memory?"
Slopoke tells you, "my first of only 2 abandoned corpses" I died out at that n beach, and I didn・t understand the corpse timer for some reason I thought it applied to rl time"
You say, "oh yes I can relate"
Slopoke tells you, "so I thought I had an hour or so to get my corpse of game time (whenever I logged in)"
Slopoke tells you, "not so"
Slopoke tells you, "my buddy laughed his ass off for a while when he helped me look for it the next night.He thought I had died a few min ago, not the previous evening"
Slopoke tells you, "Then he explained :D"

You say, "Do you have a favorite hunting place?
Slopoke tells you, "well I've always been a loot hound, so I've followed the better places, though I've become a lazy hunter until lately"
Slopoke tells you, "I've been in v of d for the last month or so"
Slopoke tells you, "ok 3 months :D" I think that・s one of the things that keeps me here is the random loot gen you never know what your going to find"
You say, "I know the feeling I too am a loot horde"

You say, "DO you have a favorite quest?"
Slopoke tells you, "actually up until the burun kings (new fav)"
Slopoke tells you, "the old virindi amulet quest"

You say, "what makes it your favorite"
Slopoke tells you, "I loved having to get a large group together one for each side of it"
Slopoke tells you, "lots of planning a little dying"

You say, "Is there anything you would change about that quest?"
Slopoke tells you, "it was a real challenge to complete. Well removing the level cap on the low side took away the challenge."
"I・m sure I have a few chars that could solo either side now"
You say, "ok"
Slopoke tells you, "I understand the level cap removal"
Slopoke tells you, "too many high level chars in the game (at least compared to what they planned for)"

You say, "If you could pick one player who has left a lasting impression on you during your stay in dereth who would it be and why?"

Slopoke tells you, "The Nezrite (Boss Lady) (Monarch)"
Slopoke tells you, "she has been a very fair monarch, ha held her temper, and has taken a job that I don・t ever want"
You say, "lol"
Slopoke tells you, "running a guild with 4k followers is a BIG job"
Slopoke tells you, "guild" and there are more headaches involved than rewards especially since the grandpatron xp nerf"

You say, "any creatures you would rather see removed from the realm of Dereth rather than fight? and why?"
Slopoke tells you, "as an archer anything with a shield :D"
You say, "hehe"

You say, "Can you tell me any special accomplishments or items you possess that you treasure or hold dear to your heart?"
Slopoke tells you, "the loot list is too long, I made a post recently as there is really only one set of things I・m looking for in game a set of major bt imbued and tinkered bows sigh ill be looking for eons"

Slopoke tells you, "accomplishments"
Slopoke tells you, "I had never led a quest ．til I started with the burun kings"
Slopoke tells you, "I've lead them all now (with LOTS of help)"
Slopoke tells you, "and it・s been tremendous fun"
You say, "you lead them well"
Slopoke tells you, "it・s easy with a walk through but oh so satisfying"

Every Monday evening Merryjuanita will be having "Noob Night". This is for people with lower level toons to go out and do a quest or maybe a fellow hunt, whatever comes to mind. I put this on Mondays to coincide with the Dereth Touring Society event so that if I am pressed for time "Noob Night" can at least consist of hanging out with the Touring Society.

Saturdays

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

AC1 AND AC2 LIVE GET TOGETHER
This particular event is December 4th, at 7 p.m.
The location is Bellevue Azteca, 150 112th Ave. NE Bellevue, WA 98004 425-453-9087

I organize dinners the first Saturday of every second month for the Seattle Area players of AC1 and AC2. It's an open invitation, with the only requirement being RSVP'ing to me (Lady of Roses)either by private message, or email ac@ladyofroses.com in advance. This is so that I can keep the restaurant updated so we don't either over-show, or reserve too many seats. They're very accomodating to us, so I try to return the curteousy. They accept all regular forms of payment, and don't automatically include large gratuities for large groups.

Dress ranges from casual to semi-formal for some. Generally everyone there is friendly and just looking to have some fun with fellow gamers. At the October dinner we had 31 attendees. We often stay until near closing time.

If you can think of any questions I'm leaving out the answers to, let me know please.

Thanks for your interest and assistance in promoting this event!

[u]TIME FOR SOME GOSSIP FROM THE WORLD OF MT[/u]

Rumor has it that Mantrap Golddigger has been trying to offer her body in exchange for customers to her bot in mp.

A little birdie told me that MAAR is sporting a THIRD Nipple under his right armpit.

Rumors have been flying about a certain Rogue Knight by the name of Og Freak. People are saying the reason for his recent MIA status is that he and his Lady Tumerok friend are away on a romantic adventure.

If you hear any juicy gossip you would like to share with the readers please feel free to drop me an email to purfct169@aol.com

JOKE OF THE WEEK

Give Me A Double

So this guy walks into a bar and says, "Gve me two beers."
The bartender obliges him.

The guy looks into his wallet and says, "Give me two more beers."

So the bartender gives him two more beers. The man went on like this until he had put down ten beers, and keeps on going in his wallet and asking for two more beers.

So the bartender asks, "What's in your wallet that you keep looking at?"

So the man opens his wallet and says, "The more I drink, the prettier my wife gets."
