Ticanee Newsletter 4 - 8/11/01

From FiranMUX

Breakfast at Ticanee's

Well I think this is my last newsletter as Fachead so I just wish to say that you are all the best clan about ;) Still all remember to vote for the new fachead and make them as warmly welcomed as I was!... although admittedly the two terms I ran no one else ran against me so I was more Default-Fachead than Fachead-Elect :P but still was good fun.

The social occasion of a lifetime has been and gone. Finally Primo and Xenobia (now Lord and Lady Dawn) have tied the knot before a fine priest of good standing and pleasured eachother senseless in the marital tent much to the delight and many warm cheers (and the occasional direction) from the entire clan who stood outside and listened and later watched as holes appeared in the tent. May the totem spirits protect and guide them!

The Guerilla's have been performing remarkably well in their training and social achievements having been the Guard of Honour at Lady Xenobia's and Primo' wedding. They are getting sneakier by the day and mainly thanks to Harik's fine tutelage as Saltuk's own career has seemed to become somewhat of a burden.

Warden Cottonmouth has been newly placed in charge of training and recruitment within the Wardens Arm of the Guard. Spending much of his time out training those who shall replace him when the icey grip of time rests itself firmly upon his shoulder. Still it seems an interesting position being able to pass down all his knowledge to the younger wardens, it would not seem a wise idea to poach no longer....Guerilla tactics could well be implemented here. (Of course one miner has complained that being leapt at by Saltuk from a tree and then frightened witless as the warden screamed a blood curdling battle cry all because he littlered was a little bit much to bear)

Alexa and Harik kissing in a tree K I S S I N G, first comes.... well you get the picture and if you rather wouldn`t then please don`t read on. Seriously though this lovely couple, the ol' war horse and spunky and rather alluring young lass seem to be about eachother more often than not, could be that love is in the air...everywhere you look around, oh!...

Aaaah yes, Tansel...breaking down into tears at the funeral of Lord Xavier, no wait...that should read breaking wind at the funeral of Lord Xavier. The young Cottonmouth leapt into the Temple of Zutiv hotting and a hollaring, spouting forth some rather deep and meaningful poetry about the dead noble with regard to his attempted rape and some other less savoury lines (I can`t remember, Sal has memory 5 I have...something) This has led to the young firebrand Ticanee being stocked outside the Halls of Justice in the Gold Dragon District so all those who want a captive Tansel please drop on by and annoy him greatly. Hadiya...he is alllllllll yours and likewise Ekenca ;) It is rumoured that he was to be converted to Monotheism and work at the True Temple of Zutiv, thankfully some sane Dragon managed to get it down to a week in the stocks...I pity the Priests had the former gone ahead.

Our very own Kendra and Sharik took part in the Battle Royale and found it to be along with all the other participants one of the finest Battle Royale's that has taken place in a long time...let us hope they do even better the next time around.

Saltuk has been asking craftsmen and women throughout the clan to create something that could be used to commemorate those who donate large funds to the Ticanee Resettlement Fund. So all those contacted please be ready soon to show your wares to the (always adorable and benevolent) Oshta and those others who are interested please contact Saltuk.

As the weekend began a group of grinning young Ticanee women and men, dressed in clan armor with their finest weapons glistening smartly, marched their final parade upon graduation. This marked the beginning of a new force of the Ticanee military. The 'Scouts' are born and in full force. Harik watches them with obvious Pride.

It would seem the communal area was rocked by a fierce argument involving Harik, Witani and Alexa. It seems the frosty atmosphere could well have been put down to the weather where it not for these three. It would seem the relationship has all but dwindled as another flourished in its place and harsh words spoken before finally Witani left the two alone....one must worry for Ticanee tempers are never a good thing to arouse.

Fellow clansmen and women (and such ladies, rawr!) I know I stated this at the top but I just to finally add that it has been a privilege being foisted upon each and everyone of you as your Fachead, perhaps one day I`ll run again and subject you to the 'Breakfast at Ticanee's' serial saga once more. I adore each and everyone of you! Thanks!.

Sal's Player and thankful Fachead.
