For the past few weeks we have been trading shots with BCB down the road. This has happened in the past and we have called a truce until the latest "infractions." They have come to kill our greys and reds and we return the favor by killing theirs. The BCB leadership has come to me to ask for an end to the battling. Several of their reds that have no idea what is going on are getting ganged up on in the fury of our return attacks. Once again, I must decree that all hostilities directed at BCB based on past attacks stop.
Of course, if one of them causes you harm you may retaliate in kind, but do not go to Blue City and cause trouble. From this point on they are all to be considered "innocents" until they prove themselves otherwise (again.) You can watch them carefull, but do not make offensive moves on them based on their guild affiliation. If you feel you have a score to settle with BCB there may be an option coming in the near future for us.
The BCB leadership has suggested having a one time battle between our war stones. We could hold it at the Yew Crypts. Rules would be no looting, etc... It would be to settle the score once and for all. I personally, do not care either way if we do this or not. I would hope we can just end the hostilities now and be done with it. We should really just deal with each person individually instead of assuming their entire guild is the same as them.
Again, we area once again at a truce with BCB. Stop attacking any BCB unless you are attacked first. Thank you.

It has been brought to my attention that the amount of "gray fighting" in Destiny is on the rise again. I announce our formal position on this type of activity about every 2 months. Here it is again:
If you are red do not expect help from others if you get attacked and decide to attack back. If you do not receive help while fighting an enemy, you have taken that responsiblity on yourself. Otherwise, you can recall away to a safe spot until the threat has gone away. If there are those that are willing to help, then so be it.
If you help a friendly red in town and go grey do not expect others to help you. If you die, do not hold others responsible. When you go grey (for any reason), you take responsibility for your own health, life, and items. There may be others that will help you, but they take the same risks as you when they do.
If you take counts for helping others, you take any results as your own responsibility. Do not blame others or expect payment for doing so. Be very aware of your counts and keep track of how many you have (Use the MyUO account information on the OSI webpages). If you get too many you will become a murderer. Murderers put a large target on themselves and you must remember that. It is not easy being green....err...I mean red.
Many of you out there will go ahead and help out and turn grey which is up to you. I do not want to hear about anyone expecting others to help them in that situation though. Everyone has a choice in this matter so let them have it. If you see anyone giving anyone a hard time about this, let them know the official stance or direct them to this page....they should be reading it anyway =).

I would like to announce an important addition to the leadership of Destiny! I have made a spot for Carina in the Hall of Leaders in the Mage Tower. Carina has served this town for many months in many very important areas. You may know her as many other characters (you'll have to figure them out yourself.) Needless to say, those characters have helped make Destiny a well rounded community and helped make our town known across Britannia. Along with this distinction, I have given the reigns of the Awards Committee to Carina. Carina has already been working on character pages and trying to keep up with all of you hard working people and your awards. I felt that she would do the committee more justice than I could provide. I am sure she will be starting soon to tweak old awards and create new ones for everyone to enjoy. Congratulations Carina!
I posted on the KFW board about the meeting about New Destiny and the housing plans. The meeting is this Sunday at 8:00 pm CST on in-game chat. Join in if you are interested in being a part of the mad rush to get a spot in New Destiny. Everyone in the Destiny Communitee is invited not just KFW. That also includes a few of our current neighbors that I have spoken to already.
Also, I wanted to remind those gladiators out there that you have to get your duel in for the week or risk losing some Blood Points. Don't be a lay about! Get in the Pit!

Thanks to Berek and Hyz I met a great neighbor of ours. I had a few encounters with this group before and they have always been good. They are a good group of people and we started talks about a full alliance with them tonight. The group is The Companions of the Avatar (CA). They own a great pub just West of the Museum. I believe the name was The White Wyrm.
I would like everyone to stop by and talk with them. Get to know them and let them get to know you. We will be taking this time to have our people get together and find out if an alliance would be beneficial for all involved. You will want to stop by their pages too for even more information on their history, beliefs, members, etc... I leave it to you to help me decide on this important addition to our family. I am pretty much sold at this point, but you all have to feel comfortable too. Post on the boards or message me privately about your opinions. Thank you.
P.S. CA will be hosting an Easter egg hunt and Impatience will be working with them on the details so everyone can get involved. This will be a great ice breaker and opportunity for everyone to have some fun!
