27-28.9.99/some Fights,2 TC's and Duels(updated)


Fights
No big fights were fought 27'. 28 was Order crowd on BD counting around 12-14 ppl (as i heard)
but the TC/EBR's were not enough and had losses, while also take some of them with them.


After i logged on and more TC showed up too, we waited longime on BD. The Order forces spreaded (the guilds) and CWO that spys found camping at ebank was not willing to move back to BD. (as they are all townies its a little understandable though)
TC tryed to get them out of ebank, but first we were outnumbered, second all ebank population dispelled our daemons, and sorry we cant stand townies with mages in town :)
We had some confrontations with XL which was order, BT and some DR, that were fighting with CWO together(?) at ebank as well as with some SoA earlier the day.
2 TC
Danaths Test-Week was over today. After having shown good performance and team spirit his test week ended. Welcome :)

Vampirehunter D joins today TC in test week. This may be surprising, but after longer talks he shows beeing a nice one.
We usually consider taking ppl that were longtime in pvp guildS/or switching cause they especially those switching see a guild serving themself, and are not willing to also serve the guild, learn about the guild etc, cause the guild has no deeper importantce for them.
So far that i see Vampirehunter D he is not like that. Please help him to learn us know in the test week, so he learns to know us, our play style and our hm morals. :)
Welcome.

That doesnt meens that we take now fast new members. We duel and talk with Vampirehunter for days now and as you may followed all that came out of a really odd relation. As fredo left, we had a place free, but we want to let a little time passing for all to integrate good.

26.9.99/Battles, Duels and more


Battles
Today was again a big Chaos/Order escalation


It began slowly.. with Yume fighting as Julio (she was banned 24hours for makroing, and Julio lent her the account) in Ocllo while slowly more and more order showed up.
We decided to group with some EBR and attack Ocllo. The fight was going well until more and more Order showed up. At the end we had to retreat with losses on both sides.
While beginning to regroup on Trinsic they made a counter attack, so we had to switch bank
EBR showed much presence, and from 9 ppl 6 were ebr, while only 3 TC's were online at that point. We heard from our Spys that they gated to BD. With 9 ppl we gated there, to find a now huge opposition, consinsting of C*A and SoA as wellas some odd order guild. After fighting we had to retreat and regroup again with losses on EBR side.
The regrouping was going well, we heard that they were moving in front of covetous and we attacked there again. Drake EBR though made a very unlocky gate in front of them :) and while killing some, we lost again some ppl.
A ghost counted 23 Orders that time as ICE,WHO and S*L were involved too. While we had after losses 9 ppl on duty until we became help from more OoO and one FOB.
We were regrouping in Nujhlem and RUN showed also up making a no-agression for that fight-day with ebr to stand the order forces.
The Orders visited Nujhlem but gated out to fight us out of town.
While regrouping more TC showed up and we attacked BD where they had moved in the meantime. THough not all Order seemed to be there we could kill most of the opposition that time while using the Bridge as strategic (though i hate bd) point which gave us a help.

You see BD after the third Chaos attack

They tryed shortly after a counter attack on bd, but the Gates were catastrophal in front of us and it was a sloughter.

Waiting for their return

Shortly after they tryed another attack over the bridge and from n/w, which we could fight back

Order at the last BD attack, attacking over the bridge

Shortly after we heard that they are ready in front of covetous again. We made the big marche from BD to Covetous entrance where the final battle of that day took place. It was a cool fighting day which lasted around 6 hours fighting. The Last fight lasted around 25 min

The big Chaos march from BD to Covetous entrance

24-25.9.99/Fights, Duels and a handfull Problems


Fights
the 24' was a fight day, though order was very spreaded.


Early the day we had some problems with CWO which camped and gated with their townies from trins to skara..
As we came always from out of town, we were in full tmage group, and couldnt stand that.
So we had to group and wake some wmages too. When they gated the next time in trins, they came with 2 daemons, but were awaited also by 3 daemons, and our wmages, with tmage support. they lost 1, rest recalled .. though the numbers were somewhat even and that was sad. I mean what are you complaining of ? If the numbers are uneven you recall. if the numbers are uneven for us, we will consider fighting. but if the numbers are ok, why not fighting ??
We gated to search them and found them gating out jhelom to moon. Sadly 2 of 5 TC's missed the gate, the rune was blocked and in 3vs5 CWO in moon we lost Fatboyslim.
Shortly after we found a group of 5 FOB gating around (they are chaos) whom we told to search CWO.. we gated a little with them around to find CWO in ocllo, though they recalled (understandable at that point).

TC meets FOB

While we had enough of boring town fights we began to search all dungs.. FOB left cause the group was really too big, and most of them were townies anyway.
I dont remember exactly what happened after.. :) though we fought soa in decite and ocllo.. later in bd, but as run joined in

TC in ocllo after a longer fight

they were not enough to really fight that opposition. In Moon was a town fight with ICE, CWO and at the end also some C*A and SpA arriving, which were in total enough, but while not arriving as group they couldnt win that fight, as also some Townie-Chaos guilds were there i think.. im really not sure cause i came from a party.. ;o)

25'
was bedides fighting with soe soa in early hours, which again were not enough, some Dr, S*L, BT and later ICE it was a no-order at all day.
EBR and RUN were fighting each others though nearly the entire day. *jealous*

Duels
I think i have forgotten all duels from yesterday.


Cherokee SoA - BFG TC : 2 (was 1vs1 besides the other TC's fighting soa in shame)
Vampire D Dr, - Delekahn TC : 2
Vampire D Dr, - Delekahn TC : 2 (Vamp: Its your day)
Yumesenshi TC - Ishara FOB : 1
Yumesenshi TC - Delekahn TC : 2
Delekahn TC - C..something TCG : 1
Delekahn TC - Ishara FOB : 1
Danath TC + Delekahn TC - Milamber ICE + LukeHellwalker ICE : 2 (Danath is in his first tc week ;)
Delekahn TC - Danath TC : 1 (while waiting for ICE to restock)
Woodstock TC + Delekahn TC - Milamber ICE + LukeHellwalker ICE : 1
Woodstock TC + Delekahn TC - Milamber ICE + LukeHellwalker ICE : 1 (it was not sure if luke had cl while fighting or later though)

handful Problems
The RUN/EBR war seems very problematic for us.First of, EBR cant travel with us, as long as RUN comes than also to fights, cause both beeing in chat will always find each other if they come to fight with us.
Thats very anoying, and sad, cause its like calling one of the 2 in a trap. We should really think about what doing about that situation.
Best for us would be if both would peace themself.. but that would be not best for the overall pvp..

BFG finding a new leaing position as Art Director :)

Server
you may have noticed that www.teamcow.de had some downtimes
that was due the installation of a new hd.. than the experiments of an odd guy with scripts, and later the failout of a nameserver.
we apolognize for any inconveniences ;P

23.9.99/Fights, Marriage & Duels


Fights
It was a funny fighting day, beginning with some fights against some Order and Dr, until we heard that in Ocllo Order forces showed up.

We gated there and found FOB and EBR fighting with 4 SoA/AoA that had to retreat.. (with us we were around 3x more)
They tryed though to attack 2 times again, in the meantime the Chaos forces became smaller, as FOB went to bed. Also RUN gated in, to fight Order though found EBR (which they are warring) and had to retreat.
After nothing showed up all began to spread again.. While we were talking on Trinsic roof, a gate opened, and SoA/AoA and C*A came with 1 drake and 1 dragon in now big group (i was sure they would counter attack:) and we had to retreat. A TC'which was just on the way to group recalled in that group and died tragically but could tell us now where they gate to :)
We began to group with EBR at the Ebank, gated out of town to summon some daemons to hear that they gated to Buccs Den.
With some gate problems we arrived to bd to face the huge opposition. The Ghost counted around 13-14 Orders, and RUN made an online break at that time. We lost some EBR there, though the bigges (somewhat lame for pvp) problem were the drake and the dragon.
The remaining forces grouped at ebank, to see tham gated in soon later. We tryed a little to spread them, which was somewhat effective, but had to retreat. SoA/AoA made than a break and left C*A which became now help from some ICE (or was it P+H).
C*A lost than Ebank as well as their dragon.
We made a counter attack on ocllo where the rest of the divided C*A's were and got some of them.
Was funny, though if its up to make monster wars well get our tamers in TC and come next times with "enough" dragons. Lets see if that gives fun or not.
In the late night we had an even fight against a mixed 6(?)'er group of Dr(?) and C*A(they fought together it seems?) in Shame Blood where we were with RUN at that time. They lost that battle.

Marraige
While in Ocllo after the last fight, we(yes some of us were invited;) tryed to get Derat to make us a Gate.
He was already there and saw GM SOL and SCouns Raven holding the celebrations.. A little late, but soon enough to bring felicitations we were gated, and could congatulate them :) Good luck.

The Marriage (picture by Lillith before we arrived though)


Duels
In the late night after no opposition could be found we made some Duels
Vampire D is red after he was hacked and left with 90gp on bank. We spoke a little in chat, and Fredo gave him a "survival backpack" with regs and gold for a restart.
Dont forget that OSI logs IP's. If you were hacked, they can and will track the IPs that were used to connect to UO, which will be given to your local police department.


Vampire D Dr - Geordie TC : 1
Vampire D Dr - Geordie TC : 2 (a very interesting fight. If i would fight like Vamp i would die instantly.. :)
Yumesenshi TC - Vampire D Dr : 2
Delekahn TC - Syvhaar BT : draw
Yumesenshi TC - Syvhaar BT : very long, he had to leave cause of rl

Delekahn, Woodstock and Yumesenshi began later to experiment a little with different fight styles.

Updates
to the ally.etc page will follow. The Weapon research results will be hold internally though.

22.9.99/Chat decisions, duels and some weapon research


Chat
The chat finally took part at 22:50, cause Drachenfels was from 22:00 on in serverwar. Due to complications with IRC (not all had that, or ever seen) and ICQ (some swedish TC were behind Firewalls of their cable-company) we logged all on Europa shard, and opened our Team Cow chat there.
After interesting discussions the results: We allied with RUN. We remain allied with EBR (check their latest news concerning EBR changes) and will watch if our old friends vitalize again over 1 month. Thats not meant as "threat" or something, but we really planned to reduce drastic our ally list.
We like EBR and we would really enjoy if they would find back to a vital point, where we can really fight and cooperate together.

Resulting from the RUN allianced we peaced RUN until all know each other and made some relations. Of course we got the stone bug, which makes us orange for them and they blue for us, but that should be resolved 23.9

The Ally list will contain only RUN and EBR and will be updated 23.9 like the Warlist(which is not up tp date anyway)
GdG and 666 were removed from the ally list. First GdG is not what we understand as "ally", though we will not attack them due to historical reasons, friendships, etc. and 666 is only in the new lands which is not very interesting atm.

to know more about RUN you can check their Forum (is german though).
The web site-link will be found after update in the ally section.

fights
shortly after DF came up the first cooperations of the now permanent allied TC and RUN killed some Dr, oppostition in some somewhat even fights. (though there was an unasked healer this time on tc/run side)
which resulted later in some

Duels



The Duels with Dr, today were in a friendly atmosphere.
speical rules: no pre cast heal, limited potions
Vampire D Dr, - Delekahn TC : 1 (vamp d used an interestin tactic)
Vampire D Dr, - Delekahn TC : 2
Darktrooper Dr, - Delekahn TC : 2
Darktrooper Dr, - Delekahn TC : 2
Darktrooper Dr, - Delekahn TC : 2
Darktrooper Dr, - Boomshackalak TC : 2
Woodstock TC - Delekahn TC : 1 (rel. long)
Woodstock TC - Delekahn TC : Wood went out of regs, and it was very long


Weapon research
will be updated while updating rest.

19-21.9.99/IRC/ICQ-22.Update, duels & TC Merchandising


IRC/ICQ
We will hold 22.9 a dedicated not ingame chat about the future of the future looking of the ally page, and about our policy in relation with killing order first with enemy-chaos and later chaos, or not.
Our allied list didnt changed for months now, but it should be clear, that after this chat those beeing orange will be killed without any problem again, and those allied are allied.
It cant be that there are 1 day alliances etc, resulting in problems whether to attack or not.
We will work out a clear line, and act on that line :)
If the alliance that was made for the weekend will continue, which will be decided tomorrow, the list will be updated and cleanded. We dont need "whom to attack , and whom not" problems. If after the alliance is made, problems arise with even bigger groups, than its bad luck

Instant-Alliance with a chaos guild that we are warring should be avoided(we'll discuss in chat)
it makes much more problems than its worth it.
we will hold the chat beginning from 22:00 CET

ATM we continue declaring every single Chaos Guild war.

Update
There will be an update to the Shard on Sept 22.. lets pray


Shard Publish, Sept. 22

We will be publishing an update to the shards on Wednesday, September 22nd. This is the first publish that the current Development Team, led by SunSword, Toad, and Runesabre, has worked on from start to finish and we are very excited about implementing these features.

The publish will progress in the following manner:

The North American Shards will be kept down after their daily maintenance.
At approximately 8am CDT, the Europa Shard will be updated with the publish. While shard will remain up during this time, after it finishes its current back-up it will be brought down.
Approximately one hour after the Shard goes down, the Europa Shard will be brought up internally with new changes. We will perform a quick check on the Shard before we make it available and will monitor the shard for any issues.
Once we are satisfied with the results, the Drachenfels Shard and all of the North America Shards will be updated and brought back up. We expect to have all of the shards back up by approximately 12pm CDT.
The Arirang and the Japanese Shards will also be held down after their daily maintenance. When they return from their maintenance, they will also have the changes.
The publish will include all of the features and fixes listed In Testing. Note that some of the information listed in In Testing has changed slightly. Once we update all of the other shards, we will move this information into Latest Game Updates.

Fights
Boom and BFG took out some order opposition in Ocllo in a very funny action before they could "hit TC where they live" (mentioning Delucia.. i was not hunting in t2a for hm weeks :)
Some Dr, Opposition was killed in late night in Decite. A 3vs3+blue healer on Dr, side (Gabrielle hating String and TC since he NPKed her and "Xena" in January when she was TeD)

17-18 more fights,duels & a talk with GM Weyoun


17'
Fights
C*A and SoA came to gether in Ocllo (?) and were "united" in an unbeatable numbers of Order. Resulting from that big threat RUN which was also chased made non agression with TC for that day and together the coming battle was won. First in Ocllo, later BD.

Thanks to Schlachtbeil which made our TC logos :)

Resulting later in the looting of ICE tower
(between the battles we made some duels, look duels)
[i missed all mentioned things above, so some points or locations could be wrong]
C*A switched after the losses back to standard, while TC continued to have this day heavy fights with SoA. In Decite was the biggest escalation, near and in LL room, where we could decide the battle for us, though the survived SoA continued to attack even in now very less numbers trying to make a Gate-Trap (i think :)
Later we attacked them while preparing in Ocllo where also some WHO were waiting, but from 7 TC in decite, 5 were left on for that. The fight was ecomplicated but going well, until also CWO the townie guild arrived which was too much for us. With one loss we had to reatreat, and in a counter attack, they took Trinsic. While killing some CWO (?) out of town we could not find the numbers to fight the now 6-8 orders gating around.
Later Yumesenshi and Penelope encountered Dorian Grey and Azmodan Johnson and made some Duels (look duels)


After the long decite fight

Talking with GMWeyoun
Well in a Moonglow fight a SoA was reskilled by a guy named Abel. Dorian (the SoA) called a gm. The GM appeared soon after, when TC was also there and told us (the PvP community) the following: If he gets calls about reskilling he will jail the ones producing calls (the reskillers)
Well while Pen already heard of things like that in Dev board she asked if thats a Rulechange. No he said, thats normal policy.
We were all a little shocked (all parties there), cause you can imagine that this would mean that if you are in an ongoing battle.. the jerk goes to the nerby healer (like in BD), resses and begins to loot the stuff, while you are still fighting his guildmates.. you prevent him backstabbing by killing him.. and would get jailed.
All parties there (SoA and TC .. (the call producer Abel died to guardkill) were very concerned about Weyouns words, so a little later Wood called Weyoun in her tower to ask her about TG and TC rules, and about "people producing too much calls", cause she suspected TG to produce many calls as murderers
He appeared shortly after, and was very friendly. Woodstock told him about the problems of a pvp guild that has to assure some things to win, and he told his problem with calls preventing him doing his normal job (the reskill calls). First of he mentioned that the PK calls are not more than other topics. Than he stated that reskilling is not a problem, as long as you dont continue over and over to reskill, with in some way is a harassment.
Wood also mentioned to him before that statement, that if the no-reskill at all policy would be so strict only jerks would profit from it, ressing and shittalking to you, without fearing nothing,.or without you beeing able to do something against them. Well it seems to be not so strict. He said he would think long before taking someone to jail for that, but he saw in BD already sometimes 15 corpses of one person, which is not good.

18`
more Fights
The day began somewhat slow, and with the question of Dr, if we would ally. We asked in chat, and the reactions were not positive.
Though we admitted to not know Dr, good, so that we may consider it later. Necro wanted a clear statement, which was no at that moement.
One hour later we met the 5 Dr, in BD. While Delekahn began first to fight with them, Wood recalled in and fought, to have BFG with Imperator later coming into, and at the end gating also Jirikis (Gaurons assassin-mage brother) into the fighting area. Dr, had to retreat with losses. It was a very nice fight though our impression about Dr, was very negative after a fight hours later where we fought now 7 TC against 2 Dr, and had the new-ress later playing the jerk.

With SoA a Decite battle 4SoA vs 3 TC was fought, though with one loss we had to retreat, just to hear that Order was everywhere. As we didnt had the numbers at that moment (4 TC ready to fight), we had meet RUN which was also online with 3 ppl, and not enough to stand the opposition.
So we made again no-agression for this day, and attacked SoA (now in big numbers) in Decite and Ocllo.
The big battle was in front of Cove, where SoA was waiting for us. with somewhat even numbers (we were 7 together) SoA lost that battle.
But in such a battle and in battles like these there are no real winners or losers. It was a great fun, and i think all got fun out of that (ok besides losing a little stuff on the other side). It remembered of old battles on the old shards, and the last 2 days were really enjoyed.

15-16.9.99/Fights & NetMeet


Fights
15' was a day full of fights. We had contact with BT, RUN, SoA, AoA, -J- , C*A and some other order/guildwar
I dont have all fights back in mind, cause there were a lot. Funniest were in Ice Island, Decite with RUN, and against a huge Order opposition in BD and Ocllo.
The Ice Island fight was after a little Ocllo fight against SoA,C*A+else which ended first with a retreat and later with the taking over of the town.
On Ice Island a tower was near collapsing, and in front of this building we found C*A. They had to retreat first, and came shortly after with SoA and eh many members back.. A long and extremly nice battle began where we had to retreat after with 1 loss and 1 kill.
While the Ghosts (Fraya and Aphrodite) -which should block placing of houses if the tower collapses- we placed there from 2nd Computers counted 15 orders we began to search in britain for Chaos to aid us in this fight.
Side Note: when we gated Fraya there, Delekahn TC as typical automatism entered the Gate.. coming back 2 seconds later throught the gate with exactly 0 hp and without horse *g*.
The searching for chaos was somewhat successful, and we had soon after around 13 ppl waiting to gate back in.
Through our placed ghosts we heard that the Tower-defenders got information about our grouping of chaos, and sadly C*A switched before we reached the tower back to standard.
With the hungry Chaos guys we gated to ocllo where we found the rest of Orders, but this time the numbers were on our side overmatched.


You see some ppl yelling Mooooo !

In the late night some still awake SoA and ICE made a counter attack on Trinsic which was not successful. We responded the attack and got them in preparations in ocllo some minutes later, where already many daemons were waiting. That should be the last Order/Chaos confrontation this day.

We met RUN later in the night in BD, Shame and Decite, where Decite was more interesting cause the numbers were even. eisenugly died though as first target, and the Aremites crashed, which made them having to retreat.
BT
The red guys from BT seems to have forgotten our non-agression and group-attacked Gauron at keep. Wood recalled in and they killed Tines Lover which had some problems recalling after ort rel.
In fact they came back after their first loss and retreat. This time we had to retreat after Wood had shadow-bug
All late Order/Guildwar fights were in fact our hunting for BT murderers with later 7 TC where we always came 1 sec too late.
Today we continued to kill BT on sight, though Gobol-BT which was killed was defended by Syvhaar who seemed pretty surprised about the changes in our relation and said that most of the red BT's are BT newbies. We noticed Billy Natras formely played by Bamse -which would make us mad if he was that- and Lord Toft were in group which are surely not "BT newbies or wannabies".

16'
Delekahn & Client researches &&& what else ?
got today his ISDN line. After making many tests with wood on the trinsic walls concerning Client speed we had the following results:
Hardware:
Delekahn: PII-400 running on 416mhz, 256mb, matrox g400, latest driver
Woodstock: P3-500, 256mb, matrox g400, latest driver
Running the client under a 32bit color depth workplace makes you slow noticeable slower, no matter if fullscreen, 565colors in uo, or windowed while 800x600 or 1024x768 bigwindow.
The client performs fastest while under 16bit or 24bit workplace color depth. (the matrox has a cursor problem with 16bit in windowed + UO) and you have to use 24bit packed bits.
Matrox 400: running monitor 1 on 640x480 like above bwin settings + 2nd monitor = slower than the other system in 800x600+1024x768 using full colors.
The cool results: 800x600 with 1024x768 bwin with 24bit was not slower than 640x480 FS, 640x480 FS+565 Colors, 640x480+800x600 or 640x480+1024x768
with these Systems. That means that Woodstock finally uses full colors (no longer 565) and 800x600.
Of course there may be a difference when there is much load to be done, like heavy crowded areas, where the 640x480+else faster settings could give you a performance load advantage to the 800x600 settings. in normal areas there were no differences at all.
We performed the tests multiple times to avoid too much lag and ploss falsificating our tests.

Delekahn insisted to make duels to see how good he is now with 60 ping
Delekahn TC - Woodstock TC : Aborted, Woodstock complained about Dels Staff
Delekahn TC - Woodstock TC : draw (very long.wood very down after that duel where she was nearly only in defensive)
Delekahn TC - Geordie TC : 1 (very long.Geordie casted wrong spell)
Delekahn TC - Geordie TC : 1 (very long)
Delekahn TC - Woodstock TC : draw (very long, very long. not defensive.. Wood:"i cant beat him")
Delekahn TC - Geordie TC : Delekahn ran out of Garlic, but it looked better for geo than before (Geo:"ill never give up..")
To be said is that Geo is one of the brillianst Duel Guys i know. ..
Imperator:"Can we search now Orders?"
We found nothing to be really mentioned and hunted later with TG.

14.9.99/UOSS, Memberfocus & else


UOSS
Sir Fredo brought today to attention, that on UOSS an article was posted coming fro the organisator of that March
The Article on UOSS:


So far ok, but lets check the link to that "report"

Wee see Turing making some speculations

Here is the full link and "report":members.tripod.com/~srdolch/
While we had apolognized in the News from 4.9.99 for the attack on that march, i read these lines sad.
just another rpg-d00d. just another egocentric d00d that thinks that uo-evil is rl-evil, and the whole world would rotate around him. i apolognized sincerly when i heard about the topic of the march. nothing is more worse than an account hack. when i read his speculation im not interested in that person anymore. neither has he reacted on my email nor does he shows any intelligence beyound his little horizont.
To the author of the news following email was sent:

hi.

in your report from 09/07/99 05:07 AM CDT  you make a link to
http://members.tripod.com/~srdolch/
which shows the story of the march and also insulting TG (the pk group
which interfeared in that event)
with "it would not surprise me if they would have hacked Srdolch account
etc.etc."

in germany something like that is called "rufschaedigung". i speak here
for TG, cause TG is the murderer stone of TC which im the guildmistress of.
i stated clearly in TC news, after i heard what the purpose of the march
was, that we would never have killed them if we would have known about the
topic. we had a discussion on our forum about that which i will post you the
links to now


http://www.sitepowerup.com/mb/view.asp?Action=Reply&BoardID=101515&Reply=680
you find the answers

and finally Max Wulf from Clan Wulf
admits:

http://www.sitepowerup.com/mb/view.asp?Action=Reply&BoardID=101515&Reply=691

you will also find in our news
on www.TeamCow.de 4.9.99/TG error an apology.
i quote:" TG error while the lag since patch becomes worser and worser
sometimes, we heard that a relatively big group was on
  their way from trins to britain.
  We woke TG and had a gate opened in the back of this group.

                                (pic)    you see TG comitting an error

  What we didnt knew was that this group travelling from Trinsic to
Britain was the "Srdolch Tower Fundrasing March" as
  stated in UOVault:
(uovault quote)

we will contact the organisator and discuss with him how we could help to
minimize the damage our ingame acting cused to
  this outgame related event. We apology to Turnig and the participants of
this march. We are cruel murderers in TG,but only
  ingame for sure."

----

and i contacted him with no response from his part.
and now i read on your uoss a link to a page that insults of of maybe
account hacked him ?!!?
we are PK's, yes. but only ingame. we acted ingame, and killed wandering
people. if we would have known of the outgame sense of that event, and known
what it was about we would maybe have marched with them. account hacking is
the lowest thing i know in uo, and reading that as insult makes me mad.

i hope next time you EITHER HEAR BOTH SIDES before posting something like
that, or make some better journalism.

Memberfocus
Some very old Members didnt showed up for months now.
Bamse - sadly to say he informed me last days that he as Tiger Dyr-BT, Tia Tambia, Bamse stopped to play UO.
Slob'Toc - is atm in EQ. As he didnt know any of the members in the last months we both agreed to take him from stone until he knows what he does
Zonie - Brother Char of Talon TC is a pure townie. We took him from stone. Talon gets a perm.Internet connection next month and will be much more active. He has to work on Zonie a little to make out of him a competitive wmage. (+resist/+magery)

else
We had many funny fights with RUN, WHO, some of AoA, and a guild that switched imadiately back to standard.
it began with WHO in front of delucia, where we fought against a relatively big group of them. As most were townies they had some problems, and died.
Good fights were fought with RUN in Shame and Decite. While the fight in Shame was not even while more on our side, the fight before LL decite was interesting. We had a very hard start doe to a bad gate - in front of them (the first died when the latest arrived). At the end they had to retreat with 1 loss on both sides (though one grey which also died fought for them - not sure anyway if he was also RUN or not)

13.9.99/a funny day


day
At the beginning of our hunt it was extremly funny. It began with Yumes duel with Delekahn to test uoa
On the left you see as latest sentence the standard sentence we had to say in chat, when once more IMP cl'ed.
We had fights with RUN in BD which lost first 1 ex md, than another ex md, and shortly after 3 of 5. Later P+H and ICE were fought in Buccs which had good numbers together.
Nearly all P+H and ICE died in that battle.
The day was funny, though we really miss the times, when other chaos were green to us, so that there were no instant virtue-switcher around.
you just killed them all, and had no cheap throw away fighters following you through each gate.
Chargallery
Yumesenshis hm pictures are now in the Chargallery. the story follows
Imperator has 2 days to give us his story in english ;o)

12.9.99/Candidates & Hunting


Candidates
As we had 4 people willing to join, we decided to invite them all to test duels, though we cant integrate anyone in test-week before Yumesenshi and Imperator - which finished their test-weeks yesterday - are full known and integrated.
Too many new members can hardly affect in a negative way guild-integrity, so after a little talking, we thought that we wont take anyone at once - now - on stone.

The Test-Duels in full Action
Candidates were: Cyber T B, Mrs. Braindead T B, Uwe Seeler and Danath AoR.

Cyber T B + Mrs. Braindead T B - Uwe Seeler + Danath AoR : 1 (Uwe died fast, but Danath showed a good fight vs 2)
Mrs Braindead T B - Uwe Seeler : 1
Cyber T B - Danath AoR : draw, but very defensive Cyber, without getting that break even fast-attack out of defensive to kill the other.
BFG TC - Danath AoR : 1 (very quick)
BFG TC - Danath AoR : 1 longer. we wanted to see how he adapts to bfg's style
Cyber T B - Penelope TC : 2 (quick) we wanted to see how cyber reacts on an assassin-mage where he cant be 100% defensive
Mrs Braindead T B - BFG TC : 2
Yumesenshi TC - Cyber T B : 1 (Cyb tryed to be more agressive, and here he lacks a little experience)
Yumesenshi TC - BFG TC : Yume gave up :)
Yumesenshi TC + BFG TC - Danath AoR + Uwe Seeler : 1

After all these battles, we will have, when we are ready again to take someone on stone Danath in test-week.
Mrs. Braindead has to work on her skills to be a really good wmage
Cyber needs more experience
Uwe Seeler is extremly rusty atm it seems. At least i knew Jac fighting better.
They will all - if they wish participate on further duels.


you see a killer chicken fooling around

We thank all for the funny time there.

Hunting
After the duels we hunted for hours order,
but while finding at the beginning opposition in Buccs, Decite, Shame and Ocllo, to the end it seemed that we were the only Virtue guild not yet sleeping left on that shard (01:00 CET)
So we brake the hunt, and began working on the wmages, etc.. until Imperator found tAV/tVA opposition in Shame which attacked him/he attacked them dont know why. We woke the tmages, and got there to clear the situation.
Chargallery
Imperators story is now in the Chargallery

10.9.99/TC Order hunt & 4vs4/Duels


2 new TC's
Imperator and Yumesenshi finished today their test-week. Both wished to remain part of TC like we were happy to have them now with us.
A warm welcome :)

TC Order hunt
The server is still lagging like hell, but we searched from 21 to 3:00 CET Order on DF in a group of about 4-6 after the duels
The Duels ended mainly when we heard that "much order" is in BD. so we gated there, to find as usually nothing. We checked decite, shame and found finally some in ocllo. Over the time some of these orders died, but cuase they lost their unification they had at the beginning on BD, they had no chance in numbers, especially while 2-4 EBR's were with us.

4vs4 & duels
While Tjodalv joined the chat he mentioned that he is in a 4vs4 on the left yew's abbey roof in a 4vs4, ebr vs eisenugly and some others
We gated there, at this time we just checked ocllo and came with 2wmages and 3 tmages to the place.
Some ppl yelled for a TC vs EBR 4vs4, but it ended in a mixed team vs TC. We thought it would be cool to test a 2wmages + 2 tmages combination vs their 4 tmages.
(TC)penelope + jirikis + delekahn + imperator - eisenugly MD + Netman EBR + Sephram EBR + Tjodalv EBR : 2
(TC)penelope + jirikis + delekahn + yumesenshi - eisenugly MD + Netman EBR + Sephram EBR + Tjodalv EBR : 2
penelope was first target and the tmages couldnt keep her alife long enough to ensure the survival to the performant point of a wmage.
no not a townie. btw: some ppl was surprised that tc is not a townie guild.. check our skills at owo.com and you will see that most of tc are tank-mages, while the tank-mages have also some warrior-mages (using high resist and high magery for defensive) that are very old-school characters.
we dont take townies, and these in tc are either brother-chars fomr tank-mages or members since the beginning of TC on df last year, which even if they would be complete idiots would have ahieved in nearly 1 year chaos that much skill and pvp knoweledge that they would be glad to fight you 1vs1 out of town.
while we were, or better woodstock was very upset about that result we made a conventional 4 tmages team to fight again. no more experiments.
(TC)Woodstock + Yumesenshi + Delekahn + Imperator - eisenugly MD + Netman EBR + Salomon EBR + Tjodalv EBR : 1
after that fight we made some 1vs1 with the following results. dont mind i havent retained all.
Woodstock TC - eisenugly MD : 2
Woodstock TC - eisenugly MD : 1
Delekahn TC - Salomon EBR : 1
Yumesenshi TC - Netman EBR : 2 (very long)
Yumesenshi TC - Netman EBR : Netman CL also very long
Sephram EBR - salomo EBR : 1


You see some of the fighters watching an 1vs1 after the 4vs4

Side note: We had to kill 2 or 3 times a Dr, that thought that interfering the battles by casting EV's etc is the best idea of the day

Meta
You may have also noticed that while displaying the page or bookmarking you get no name for your bookmark after we moved the site
Sir Fredo will check tomorrow what is wrong, cause all Meta Tags and Titles are correctly set. You can alter manually your bookmarks with the Edit and prorieties funcion in Netscape, and something like that in your Favorites if you use the IE.

9.9.99/Site Change, aniversary, Patches & Dev news


Site Change
As you are here, you already noticed that we moved to this new Domain, and on another Server. Hopefully its faster, better.. etc :)
We thank Sir Fredo for letting us use his Server. The last days were full of university work for me, so i could not keep the site updated. Besides all that i also visit each days appartments which made me a little tired.
The Site Change comes also to the time where the idea of Team Cow becomes 1 year old. 10.Sept.98 was the day when Limp and Nirax had the idea of the Team Cow on Catskills.
Oct/November will be one year Team Cow on Drachenfels.

Dev News
Tug of Tugsoft released a new test-uoa version which fixed some of the CL's we had, which were mainly caused by client/server, though uoa made some effects happen more often.. It was as test client. Today UOA was patched to the new client patch (1.26.1) and you should no longer encounter CL problems that are not line dependant. Update UOA
Second we heard today finally first red-name words of an unknown Dev programmer who had his debut in the board. He admitted that the CL code was his fault and showed irony and sense of humor, winning most of uo ppl sympathy back on the fly.
btw: i ve forgotten his name.. something with K..
Though they patched today (10.9) the approved code was still buggy.. (i think the real odd guys are the revisors of the code)
Calandryll on that topic:

OK folks, I posted on Shard Issues an explanation for today’s events. Now before you read this, I need everyone to sheath your weapons, unstring your bows, and put those reagents away. Oh and no purple potions or scrolls either. :)

http://support.uo.com/s_issue.html

And yes, I fully see the irony with a patch that was designed to reduce disonnects causing the servers to crash so I don’t need anyone pointing that out to me. :P

Gotta go to a meeting for a bit, but I’ll be back later. For those of you playing, please let me know how the shards seem as far as disonnects.



Thanks!

Conclusions
1.If all will be finally fixed we can wake TG again, without these perma-cl's, freeze lag etc.
2.check dev board, cause illegal placed houses are now topic to be deleted. (like houses build on ignots, on top of a tree, in water, or whatever)
i dont know anyone of my friends having such a house, though i dont know all your houses, so if you think that your house is odd. call a gm and ask him (yes)
3. SunSword, K.. and, Calandryl are all back on dev board, though Lady Moi seems still to be fishing, or whatever.
4. Send them enough Bug Reports to keep them busy (!) before thy install more of these super buggy features without removing the old crap first.
Use the BugBase or Dev board.

5.9.99/Bugs & More


Bugs
The Client bugs after the access.Patch nearly 2 weeks before are unbelivable. I urge everyone to write and read the [DevBoard] or to write directly to sunsword@owo.com(lead designer), runesabre@owo.com(lead programmer),calandryll@owo.com(UOComunity Coordinator) or support@owo.com

Why ? There are some client bug and one serverproblem that have brought much frustration. I cant remember one time before that there were that many heavy client-bugs in the client:
1. permanent conlosts, some say due the double checking of the movement.
2. freeze and can not move but all else you see moving. that bug WAS in old times already fixed
3. Shadow images "i have client bug" resulting in invisible monsters etc. we got used to this crap (they said fixed in 1.25.37f)
4. Crashing when opening backpacks/Chests etc. (should have been fixed in 1.25.3x) around since Toad made some changes to the client
5, EXTREME LAGGING like in the time when idiots where duping gold. Some thing it may be cause of the + on serverload cause of doublechecking which makes fastwalk not work (which is good, but i prefer some jerks running with fastwalk around, than the whole shard lagging)
That besides the not updating statbars, the rumors of a new afterpatch house-breakin (you should make sure that you seal your house with tables even when private, and lock your interior doors) + the still lurking around superior instant death bug from MA or Paralyze casted by NPC's, which is a great improvement of game experience, if you are perma red, or not let us having much trouble now.

Many changes are cool to the client but i really begin to have problems understanding whats going on. Since they made efforts to stabilize and improve the client actually even more bugs, one after the other got in, so that you cant play now a day without dying to some idiotic bug.

besides that i mistyped my hint to reduce lag on your machinge its spelled "enablemessenger=off". put that in your uo.cfg, and besides dont use the messenger as long as you give with your greetings card also your account name.

Please stop only arguing of it ingame or on unknown messageboards, let the support know that you have problems with it.
Duels
Yumesenshi TC - Patricia UOE : draw (long)
Yumesenshi TC - Imperator TC : draw(started 2nd time after imp went out of regs)
Geordie TC - Woodstock TC : draw(very long, analysis Geo of Wood:"middle offenisve", Wood about Geo:"Adapted Style" both not as rusty as they thought.
Geordie TC + Woodstock TC - Imperator TC + Natan TC : 1(short)

The OoO 4vs4 Duel-Day lasted in completly chaos and massacre with harsh words from all parties. German Message board about the 4vs4.
The experience with most of these events shows that its much more fun to hold 4vs4 in small groups than big events like these which are a paradise for jerks, thiefes etc. hiding behind anonymity or crying for importance once in their uo-life.

The site may change its locations in the next days.

This site will still work but will contain only a link to it. I wont tell more until all is setteled.;)
BTW: some may have noticed that the last days i thought we are still in the 8'th month of this year..
Member-list and Galery were updated.

4.9.99/TG error, TC on shard and 4vs4,3vs3,2vs2

- TG error while the lag since patch becomes worser and worser sometimes, we heard that a relatively big group was on their way from trins to britain.
We woke TG and had a gate opened in the back of this group.

you see TG comitting an error

What we didnt knew was that this group travelling from Trinsic to Britain was the "Srdolch Tower Fundrasing March" as stated in UOVault:

Drachenfels - Srdolch Tower Fundraising March
As a follow up to the Srdolch Tower being hacked and slashed, I was sent this:

Srdolch Tower Fundraising March

Dear Friends,

As you know someone hacked Srdolch's account and deleted our guild's Tower Shopping Mall. Many of us would have quit UO if something terrible like this happened to us and I have the deepest respect for Srdolch's will to fight and get his tower back. The "Get Srdolch his tower back" campaign set up by friends and guildmembers is doing better than we could have imagined. Many people from many different shards have offered us gold, their help and their sympathy. This just shows how many great people there are in the UO community and on behalf of Ye Great Srdolch Merchants I would like to thank each of them.

To celebrate this we are inviting people from all shards to come and join and us on a fundraising march from Trinsic to Britain on the Drachenfels shard on Saturday the 4th. You are invited to create a new character and meet us at Trinsic bank at 18:00 Central European Time (Noon EST) and donate your 100g starting funds to the Tower Fund. We will then march all the way to Britain to Lord British's castle and sing songs (hint: bring a musical instrument).

Untill Saturday,

-Turing,
Ye Great Srdolch Merchants
Gsmturing@hotmail.com



we will contact the organisator and discuss with him how we could help to minimize the damage our ingame acting cused to this outgame related event. We apology to Turnig and the participants of this march. We are cruel murderers in TG,but only ingame for sure.

Calm died later at t2a fort. We heard from friends that antis were grouping in Delucia. The numbers told ranged between 4-6.
We were 4, so we thought to try it. The first attack on them was good. We came with 2 daemons, and they lost two ppl beeing somewhat surprised even though they were waiting for us.the others recalled/retreated.
While beginning to loot, more and more antis were arriving, and we somewhat forgot while enjoing the fight that we are heavy on statloss..
We lost Calm in that battle, which got hmm.. 3 combos when he was already at 10 hp.. we had to reatreat, and woke our TC brother and sisters..

- TC on fights were made everywhere in brit. C*A switched while fighting back to standard, etc.
At Xroads we found some funny fights ongoing and killed some ppl of both parties.

TC visiting Xroads :)

- 4vs4 as completly no opposition was found we began to duel with our new tc members in 4vs4.

"I enjoyed" (BFG)

2wmag+2tmag vs 4tmag

Finale 4vs4

(first mentioned chosed the ppl for team like in sport at school/university as you may remember)
Yumesenshi + Imperator + Geordie + Sir Fredo - BFG + Penelope + Gauron + Natan : 2
Yumesenshi + Imperator + Geordie + Sir Fredo - BFG + Penelope + Gauron + Natan : 2
Gauron + Penelope + Natan + Imperator - Sir Fredo + Yumesenshi + BFG + Geordie : conlost
Geo + Pen + BFG - Imp + Gauron + Natan : 1
Geo + Pen + BFG - Imp + Gauron + Natan : 2
Natan + BFG - Geo + Pen : Natan killed BFG thinking BFG was not in his team :))
Natan + BFG - Gep + Pen : 1
BFG - Pen : no one
as i didnt worte all fights down around 50% of the fights especially all 4vs4 combinations are missing. well at least the fun was not missing, and the effect of teaming. :)
3.9.99/Members, BD, Client and banning of SUN

- Members Imperator joins TC. His test duel was some week before, but he was lmc-red for a long time.
Yumesenshi joins TC. She test duelled:
Gauron TC - Yumesenshi : 2
Gauron TC - Yumesenshi : 1
BFG - Yumesenshi : 1
Penelope - Yumesenshi : 1
Though in the battle on BD she showed what she likes mostly. While fighting we watched what she does, and were very happy :)
Both are on test week where they and us decide if we fit one for the other. Welcome.

- BD we won yesterday an even matched fight on bd against C*A& friends again with no losses, like in Ocllo before.

- Client well besides the old shadow bug be aware that the new client seems to conlost-a-lot. the effect is like serverdown conlost. we congratulate osi for this new clint crapping.. now we have new since: 1.37 = crashing while moving/looking inside bags/chest(thats a little older but used not to be and is not 100% fixed), shadow images (they said they fixed them ....) random Conlosts and the freeze effect when you see all moving around you but cant move or do anything. Wow!! all these features brought in in the last months.
yes Client stability is priority 1 at dev team.
dont want to sound harsh. most of the new things done are cool, but its unbelivable how many bugs make it in new client releases.

- Banning look on update owo. yesterday there was war in cob.discussions and dev board. multiple persons posted screen shots of sun having 1, 2 castles on SP and a tower as well as completly stupid amonths of duped reagents, arrows, bandages etc. Osi reacted fast, and after they checked the backups, sun was banned, their belongings deleted and the accounts terminated, as well as their house friends to the duped houses (maybe).
Its good to see osi react this time so fast, cause such an exploit would destroy our virtual world. Its also very lame to try to get advantage by duping/else which seemed to be quite simple on hopefully ony SP, especially on a shard like SP where the ressources are very limited.
Sad though that all these that may have used the same bug and didnt placed 2 castles beeing more silent will not be caught.

30.8-1.9.99/Big TC Meet end, Else & 01September update

- TC Training 1.9 as some of the new sister/brother of actuals TC's needed to get skill, we quickly found a way to reach in very short time all what was left, beside having great fun :))

This particular ice fiend lasted 1 hour with careful heal of background healer

though that was not enough.. for Fatboyslim's last .2 in parry, and balaars new tank-mage..(pen already finished combat skills on fiend)

This place surely has never seen such a mess before
- Ocllo 1.9 besides some little fights in BD, Decite and Shame, we found finally great opposition in ocllo. We logged our more than likely finished brother/sister warrior-mage chars on, and came with mixed tank-mage, warrior-mage team to ocllo.
The fight was very funny and as fair as it can be in order/chaos. means they had blue healer, we had advantage of beeing one guild.

Moooooooooooo!! :)

- TG!-Train after all that TC Training and not active order anymore on the shard, we woke Team Goat and found some opposition at keep.


Its unbelivable that of around 12 people there only 3 antis showed up after we camped there a while.
one MD named PlAyErKiLlEr or something like that was pked before by Fatboyslim TC and Penelope TC in shame though cause he looted a beloved staff of Fredo in hylth before.
After TG! killed Lord Elrond in Ice, eisenugly MD and Schwede MD showed up, maybe playing of the same internet cafe and decided also to die.

- Meet 30.8 as the big TC meet in Hannover ended i finally found some time updating. I still wait for Gaurons Digicam Fotos & his shots. Sadly Sir Fredo didnt managed it to come doe to changes in his work-plan.

Here you see the Net-Room in Hannover

on the left Woodstocks HW p3 500, g400,256 using 2 monitors, Middle Krid p2 350, v550, 256 and right side Gauron double processor 450, 256, v550 + other comp for 2nd account
Krid and Gauron used Sygate, while Wood was directly plugged to 64k.
Food/Drinks used: Cola Light, Cola, Mezzo Mix, 1 beer, 6 salates, 6 Pizzas, 4x Pizza bred, lot of coffe, milk and sugar(krid), and one drive to mc donalds.
The meet lasted from Sat. 12:00 CET to Monday 18:00 CET.
Total Team conlosts in that time: (the ones in room) : 3, 1 with ISDN lines unavaible for 15min. :)
The next big meet will be hold in Essen when Woodstock will have the new appartmanet set up, and we will try to get 4 TC's to it (max ISDN limitation), or taking the business rooms of a friend with 2mbit for that time to get even more connected.

- Else 30.8 as you can imagine we nearly fought the whole time. TC or TG! were out around the clock and we got all participant net-meeters to 1,2 and 3 on bounty board after some very funny fights in front of delucia against some antis trying to earn the hmm 250k bounties.
There was also much work/testing done with Jirikis (Gaurons brother) and Penelope (Woodstock sister) that joined TC stone even while not actually with finished skills after the lack of warrior-mages in TC in the last month.
Jirikis is btw also an assassin like Penelope, Natan and even BFG are working on brothers having the same combination.

- TC 30.8
it was really hard to find order when we were out. and if they were they either ran in inn if in town, recalled, or faded away.
yes, the log out in inn is still possible, which was a big disappointement after the patch.
funny side note:

WHO guild we killed in moonglow shows funny counting results :)
