Hogo Bojo I would smile the Sun's Smile as he looked at the pact with pride. "All in a days work. Long live the alliance."

Why didn’t you wait until 12 months? Better sounding than 11 1/2.

"Quite an interesting development to be sure." Hogo Bojo, Geopolotical Mastermind of Almaris would note to himself with a subtle nod, as he took a sip of his Carrion Black by the crackling fireplace. "This continent truly quite different than the last. So much has happened, and yet I believe there is still much more to come. Truly this is a interesting time to be alive. I am sure that historians will have quite a fun time trying to piece all of what has transpired on this continent together." He'd say with a chuckle.

It is thereby with great pleasure that we, the Principality of Sedan declare our intent to raise our banners and arms in full support of this most noble Crusade against Serheim. In addition, the Crown of Sedan hereby orders a full-scale mobilization of Sedan’s armed forces and any able-bodied folk.

Frederick I of Sedan would nod as he received word of the missive. "For God!" He would proclaim as he prepared his weapons and armor for the conflict to come.

After receiving the missive, Caedric Edvardsson would put a hold on his travels around Almaris and head back home to see what was currently going on with his family.

What song do I make you think of?

@Rilath Your first controversy. Good luck with this one. Seems kinda difficult to resolve imo.

Thank you @itdontmatta for all your hard work as Moderation Administrator, and I look forward to continuing to work with you as you continue your tenure as Operations Administrator. And of course, my greatest of congratulations to @Rilath on his promotion to Moderation Administrator. Definitely well deserved and I can't wait to see what you have in store.

Chef Hogo Bojo, Geopolitical Mastermind of Almaris would stare intently at the missive. "Peace in our times indeed." He would say with a nod as chugged some Carrion Black by his crackling fireplace. "How long will it last this time though. For this is the true question. This map has been soaked in the blood of so many different peoples. Only time will tell what the future will hold."

Awesome job @The60th & Tech Team. I'm super glad to see these new changes implemented, especially the long awaited return of the proper non-villager NPC's.

Throughout time, the Auction house has been a rather contested topic, one which players have had a wide variety of opinions on. Some wish for the status quo (the same as it is currently), some wish for its removal, while others believe it should be changed but still maintained as a feature of the server. Recently, several nations have voluntarily removed them due to their unpopularity, among other reasons. However, other players do respect and see use in the auction house, and thus, the Administration has wanted to implement changes based on player reception. Below we’re going to list our four big options on what we could, or should do regarding Auction Houses. As well, any opinions, arguments, thoughts, etc. are encouraged in the replies so that we can gather all the feedback we can, and deliberate not only what to do for next map, but what we can do now. Option 1 - The Status Quo This option is the simplest. Simply put, nothing changes. People like auction houses where they are now. Players may decide if they have them or not within their settlements and do nothing more. Option 2 - Full Removal The more radical option, this completely removes The Auction House. This spurs local trade and running to specific cities more, goods passing by word of mouth via auto-shops, forum trades, and manually-run shops. Option 3 - No Signed Items ("The Convenience Store") A compromise, this option removes only signed items from the auction house. This includes roleplay items, story items such as magical crafts or botanical herbs, and so on. Items may be described, but not signed by players, staff, and so on. This would make The Auction House only eligible to carry unsigned items like raw materials, blocks, food, and so on. Default minecraft items. This option encourages players to trade their vanilla minecraft items on the auction house, while seeking out shops in cities for roleplay items. Option 4 - No Unsigned Items Another compromise, what this option entails is the removal of unsigned items. Meaning, the auction house would only sell crafts of player make and player signage. This could be event items, customized food, armour, gear, etc. like normal, alongside herbs, nodes, etc.. This option encourages players to trade their customized items on the auction house, while seeking out shops in cities for default items. As a note, we are not considering local auction houses as an option. Those are all the current options that we have in consideration at this time, and are looking to implement one of those going forward. Additionally, please give any detailed thoughts below that you may have. Thank you for your time and we look forward to your feedback, Hogo & Squak

Leopold Morovar would finish equipping his newly forged armor for the very first time before being handed a missive. "Hmmm." The man would murmur to himself as he read it thoroughly. "I did nae expect to use this armor so soon." He'd say with a chuckle. I must thank Ser Grigori Vyronov for his hasty work as he has finished it just in time."

The Goat Prince of Sedan, Frederick I would smirk at the missive as he prepared the Holy Goats for the conflict to come, should the Orcs choose to foolishly refuse the offer.
