Griffon Newsletter 43 - 04/19/03

From FiranMUX

Lady Lucretia Corinala! It is official! With much of the clan in attendance, the wedding went off without a hitch and was truly a wonderful event. Lady Lucretia brings wonderment to everything she does and a smile upon the faces around her.

Festival wins! Mer Artaro took second place in the tennis match. Elianosik came in third in the children's spelling bee. Mes Anala took first and Mes Nicolette took second in the Spring Seduction contest! Mer Andreos came in third in the second pentathlon of the festival! Mes Justina modeled the winning stola at the shimmering stola contest, the creator however chose to remain anonomous. Mes Nicolette created the second best stola, modeled by a Mes Naraki of the Bear clan. Vinya came in second in the bubble blowing contest! Lady Ranazeel and her partner Mes Opalina came in third in the scavenger hunt. Back in time to win some events, Mes Jazayeri won the boxing event, first place! Lady Galadra won second in the fashion contest!

More news! Mes Dimitra has recently become an initiate of Kamnestra!

New Griffons -

Hey, have you seen that Mes Adamanthaea about lately? Heard she's got a way with birds, a young thing, she's a bit sharp around the edges, though.

Lord Entoro Lapis is back from training, just in time for the end of the festival, did he run any events? Did he go to any of them?

Birthdays -

Andreos - May 5 Tobias - May 6 Yento - May 11 Idomeneus - May 12 Latta - May 12 Mikayla - May 12 Hesperik - May 19

Praise - Many many praises for Judanarius or Lucretia!!! Yay for royal weddings. Lord Judanarius also wants the clan to remember Lord Taleo's generosity to the Nalaran fund.

Diss - Many have heard of a certain Mer Abderus who dare diss Clan Leader Judanarius, the clan may wish to remind the mer of the dangers inherent in publicly attacking a clan leader.

(OOC - as always, use your discretion and follow your ic inclinations for praises and disses)

OOC News -

Welcome aboard everyone, as always...please @mail/page me with useful information regarding your characters, ic happenings and whatever else you want to share with the clan. If you haven't already - addcom gr=Griffon to add the Clan channel.

New Commands! -

I'll be trying to share commands that I find helpful. I am not the best at using commands, so if you come across any that you find useful @mail me and I'll get it in a future newsletter.

@bb/read 4/16 - New! Praise and Diss reasons! Check out the help file, keep it IC, have fun with it!

Check out the @social commands - 'help @social' find out where you and our nobles stand!

I wanted to include a small blurb of something I got in my @mail earlier this week. There are times when I wish I could turn the Griffon channel off, but I have an obligation as your Faction Head to stay on the channel in case anyone actually needs help. The channel is OOC, but we have to remember that everyone else on the channel has feelings too.

"I logged on today to find poor Judanarius having to ooc-ly defend himself against an ic ruling he made. This tends to happen a great deal whether it be sp hits, ruling, ic consequences or whatever. We made poor Jalil's life miserable when he was on channel. I was wondering if we could have a blurb in the newsletter reminding people that we all are people here and ic bitching is one thing but taking it ooc isn't good for anyone. Being an ic leader with the NPC populace normally not supporting you and every decision you have to make being one that could easily send the entire clan in rioting and chaos is not an easy task and incredibly frustrating. I know I wouldn't want the job and I truly appreciate anyone who does try to take on this role. We as players on the same team need to be supportive. We've had some bad breaks in the past but truly now is the time to keep ic opinions ic and ooc opinions to pages."
