*As Leyu watches from her minds-eye the signing taking place she smiles a large smile. *In a voice barely above a whisper. "Finally united again, perhaps this King shall be the one to solidify the power of Oren and claim the right of blood and the Sword of Wisdom."

((I'd love to join this, and by love I mean LOVE. Even my character would most likely find this amusing but considered carefully. Buut a combination of her friendships and her abilities present a conflict of interest. She walks a grey line of learning OOC information already without joining such a group to offer it toward others.)) ((Basically +1 Leyu saw this, took note as something interesting but decided she is far to busy at the moment to indulge further.)) *Leyu picks up the note and reads it carefully, "Interesting, such a group could do great good....or great evil she mumbles to herself. I hope they have a careful caregiver to watchfully keep eye over how this information is used. After amusing herself with the thought of joining she writes a careful reply and sends it on its way. Unsure where it will end up she hopes that the correct party will stumble across it. *The Albatross flys off toward Abresi with the note in grasp. "Dearest Caretaker of Secrets, Although I regret to inform you that I am unable to join at this time, I would offer up my library to yourself and any member of your 'Organization' that you see fit to send. A history on a great many of topics are studied and carefully accounted within the hundreds of volumes at disposal here. I am certain that they will never leave without learning something new....Should they find the library lacking in any area feel free to send them to me directly with their questions and I shall see what can be done to aid their endeavor. -Leyu'Maehr Oracles Library Ac'Talarah Keep"

^Woohoo, Sparrow for Junior Tech...let him tackle the ss problems next.

Perhaps, but some professions should make minas easier than others. The same could be said for gathering wood, or wool....food or flowers. In the end you must decide what is needed, and how to spend your time obtaining it. If you find Ore the easiest route and spend your days gathering it. You may wake up some day to realize you have become a Miner/Blacksmith. It is difficult to balance each profession as it is released, It will take time to get them all in line with a profession system. For now it is what we have and we should accept it.

Agreed with Ski, we need some time spent gathering. Just like any other resource. Otherwise minerals wouldn't be traded like wood, food, books and other goods. It seems fairly balanced for now, in the coming weeks we'll see if emeralds/diamonds need slight adjusting. But it feels like a good balance for now. What we should work on, and I'm fairly certain Telanir will be focused on it after all the server fixes, Is a larger variety of work to be done. With all the new flowers and plants I can already see a few new businesses "Spring"ing up.

Great work Telanir, Look on the bright side, we still have Alchemy and Enchanting.

^Agreed, I'd rather weed out the players that only want to create fun for them self and little groups they are in. And keep those that wish to create fun for anyone who is around to enjoy it. There are plenty of other servers for those selfish individuals to get their kicks on.

What sort of options are the Admins considering for In Game punishment of Villains? I believe most of our villainous problems can still be solved with a few IG changes. While I'm not a huge fan of asking for plugin after plugin, Perhaps it would be viable to consider a "Jail" plugin, Something that locks up those who are caught stealing, killing, lieing to the guards, smuggling ect. It would allow each race to decide their own rules and the length of time that someone can be prisoner. What we would need with this to make it fun for everyone, and less ab-usable. 1. A restriction on the amount of time you can be locked up. 2. Things for inmates to do RPly and actual. "Jailhouse fights....Mining colony, Picking up trash on anthos highway, ect. 3. A handcuff...or shackle like system that reduces movement speed and the use of weapons. 4. Along with this, the ability for guards to fight in default pvp...and use the knockout system to start this shackling of a player...Perhaps an item that can be carried that gives the option. If the prisoner doesn't cooperate they can be killed again....or taken to jail. I'm still on the side that feels the VA's no longer serve the purpose we initially wanted them too, but as Viper stated. Removing them alone will not fix the mindset of players. What stops a child from misbehaving....Discipline. It does not seem fair to kick a child from your house as the ONLY form of discipline. A much lesser degree of punishments could be issued and done ICly. This would still allow minor crimes, and major ones.....if they are caught repeatedly doing evil, it escalates.

Best quote ever. "just the last part though" @Space It's a good thing I was only carrying all my valuables on me at once.

*Sends another letter to Art That is simple enough a request. Each book is given a unique set of 4 numbers. The first is the Section of the library the book can be found, The second is the Column of that section the books is located, the third is the row the books is located within that column and the last number is the placement within that column and row. Sections can range from 1-999, there can be up to 7 columns, Up to 7 rows, and 9 placements. An example would be 1 II III IV Meaning First section, Second column, third row, fourth placement.

*Letter sent to Art We moved....Gosh I should come up from the library more often. If you'd be kind enough to show me the new location we can discuss building a library and what to do with the old books. Personally I would see them donated to the Monks, or New Malinor. The system I used to organize them might not be fitting for the new location rendering them difficult to manage. But for those without books they are certainly better than nothing. -Leyu'Maehr Oracles Library 'Abandoned and forgotten' Ac'Talarah Keep

*Finds Mythras's application upon the desk and reads it over. Finally with a smile she sends a letter back in reply. Dearest Mythras, While I am not a regent and have no true power in the matter, I would welcome your return. I do have one concern however, something that perhaps you should consider. You have stated that you will feel no ill will toward the Delvers now that you have parted ways with the Malinorian government. How do they feel toward you? And how will they feel toward you joining the Delvers? Our relationship has been quite peaceful with Malinor in the past and I'm sure we would all like to see it continue that trend for as long as can be maintained. To that end, I am seeking to bring a few other allies to the Delvers. How are your relationships with the Humans and the Dwarves? Signed -Leyu'Maehr Oracles Library Ac'Talarah Keep

I agree with it, If a collective of the leadership of the server want someone removed, regardless of the reason...Why would that person want to continue playing here anyway. Unless you are getting enjoyment by making other suffer, you don't stay where you aren't wanted.

*a note is attached "I would work as a laborer, but for a percent of the sales. The goods I offer are not currently listed by your company."

Yes 1 pillar per donator.

((Demotheus; I think you mean to post your response here http://www.potterforums.com/ . I hope that helps.)) *Walks the Elvish roads observant her surroundings. Who knows what could happen on a fine night such as this.

"How does someone who joined the server just over a month ago have 18,000 minas?" "Might be something to consider before you close your auction"

*Thinks that even the crazy spider guy in his whacky tower knows this lady is bonkers. "Don't worry deary, the end is where we have always been headed. We couldn't possibly be traveling toward the beginning of time now could we?

*Looks to the monk "I have already offered my help to the monks, The books are waiting for your scribes to copy. Since I own the largest library in Anthos currently, all you must do is come and prepare copies of my works."

Whaaaaat? I knew you guys were listening. If only we could merge Native/Freya/Ever into one super being. With Native's level mindedness and calm spirit, Freya's emotional connection and wisdom, and Ever's Creativity and Kindness. That would be a good day. The true Triumvirate.

*Puts down the book from the library of Ac'Talarah "So they too are back then, Perhaps the old light-touched Aerius wasn't as crazy as he sounded."
