February 24, 2003 - Mahnala?!

As the hibs desperately seek the hat merchant.... she was no where to be found. Many said her name was Mahnala... so we waited at Ardee and Magmell for her to pop. "Maybe she is a day time pop." "Maybe she pops at 12". Still.... no Mahnala. Wait, THERE SHE IS!

We had a CF uber / Evern raid. Evern is a really tough lizard in the frontier near crim. He only took 30 minutes to kill, but we got him! After that, we headed to Marf to farm a bit until Jackmode killed us. GRATZ JACK!

October 27, 2002 - Guild Event Review

Guild event summary. Armor merchants? Shield Merchants? SEIGE merchants?! Dye merchants?  Wow, lots of merchants! As a guild event, we created several different guilds and pretended to be Various merchants, and begged people to buy from us, and not our friends. This was quite a scream, and even made a CSR mad. It was a joke, chill out, we weren't trying to rip anyone off. :)

Guild event summary. Seoltoir Impersonation! WOOOT! We all dressed up like our favorite Seoltoir and walked down with Glasny! It was a total riot! People were totally confused, asking why there were so many seoltoirs. After a few "pretend" ports, we decided to boycott Glasny and suicide. Imagine 15 dead seoltoirs on the port pad. LOL!

Guild event summary. Athena's Avatars invaded the frontier. This was basically a learning experience for the lower levels who haven't yet ventured out into the frontier. First, they were all shown Hib Frontier, and we ran into some Mids. Yes, they flattened our 4 fgs worth of avatars. LOL. Do understand that level 20's were permitted along this journey. After we returned, we were slayed once again. So, we took our party to Mid frontier, and we camped uppland for an hour.

October 6, 2002 - Guild Event Review

Guild event summary. Athena's Avatars had a WONDERFUL guild event! Each person was required to make a lvl 1 elf alt. We all went into the heart of the cursed forest. The first three to make it to the other side, would win first, second, and third place prizes. Wow! Surprisingly, about 7 avatars made it! It was a close race!

Before Wrath blew the go whistle, we visited the fin tree in hopes of gaining a few more levels before our departure. It appeared that no one needed lvl 1 elf tanks at the fin tree. Most were very disappointed. They were warned that their chances were slim to none. Everyone knows the waiting time for the fin tree is at least 2 hours. :)

September 29, 2002 - General Update

Athena's Avatars has joined the new Hibernian Alliance! This alliance is RVR based, so lets use it wisely, and not to say hallo to Matador. Why would you speak to him anyway? He's a turd!!!! :p  Hopefully this new alliance will become the new powerful rvr alliance for hibernia. Thank god. WOOT!

Due to high demand, Hibernian News is going live. If you do not know what this is, it is a special news report brought to you by Athena's Avatars. If you haven't read it or heard of it, I suggest you take a peek.  Thank you Lasa for you humerous reports! We all love them!!!

September 2, 2002 - Summary of Guild Meeting and Officer Rank Changes

Greetings guildmembers, Here is a summary of yesterday's meeting. I've also posted this on our General Discussions Board for members.

1st we had an officer's meeting earlier in the afternoon where we made changes to the guild's structure. At Wrath's suggestion, we created an Avatar Council with 3 ranks of guild officers. The ranks and officers are as follows:

Guild Leaders: Athenaswrath, Athenaswisdom, Tamako

Rank 1 High Council Member: Beory, Wagonrage, Lorinth

Rank 2 Council Member: Shapht, Gringott (Miznatt), Glitterbabe, Fullnote, Maltorin, Oceanous, Lobias (Tanthril)

The first rank of officers was chosen by the guild leaders from the officers we already had in the guild. It was a hard decision, as many are quite capable of those positions, but we wanted a diversity of levels, among other things that were considered. Welcome to the rank 1 officers.

Their duties are to help run the guild, especially when the guild leaders are not online. Settle disputes when possible and to watch over the Rank 2 and Rank 3 officers to be sure they are doing well.

Rank 2, Council Members, were chosen from the remaining officers that were online quite a bit, were helpful to others and had been participating on the forums (shows interest in the welfare of the guild). This group, along with rank 1, will oversee guild matters and vote issues which are at the officer level in running the guild. Rank 2 will also be responsible for overseeing the Rank 3 officers. Congratulations on your new positions!

Rank 3, High Avatar, consists of Hellforge, Braleth, Lymeh, Bequiled, Madathair, Cadrian, Corowin, Lavaonia, Misterhandy, and Johsiah (if I've forgotten anyone, please forgive me...there was a lot to keep track of).

They are our eyes and ears in the guild. They can help hold armor and weapons to distribute, help others in the guild and give input on guild matters. They cannot vote on council matters, however, they can give their opinions and suggestions, which are valued by any member of the guild.

NOTE: Officer Duties, Ranks, Rules, etc. are posted on the Guild Info Page as well. Also, Guild Commands, Guild Rules, Alliance Rules, etc. All members pleae read.

ALL OFFICERS must be polite, help others when you can (giving directions, helping to explain things, handing out equipment, helping with small amounts of money to new recruits - (suggested at 10gold and you will be reimbursed if needed - ask the new person if an officer has given them money..then check with that officer too), helping with epic quests, etc. This does NOT mean you spend your whole time online doing things for others...it means you help when you are able...and to make time a few times a week, if possible, to devote to helping other guild members. This also does NOT mean you need to be online every single day either. People have real lives to deal with, which is understandable.

ALL OFFICERS must check when they log in to see who new recruits are and to introduce yourself as an officer and tell them if they need anything to let you know. It's a "meet and greet" so all members feel welcome and get to know who the officers are.

The officer positions are earned....and can be lost (as in demotion). If you are not doing your duties as an officer, someone from the next rank down will replace you. When a Council Member (rank 1 or 2) becomes inactive, or misses too many meetings, he is replaced with a High Avatar from Rank 3.

Basically, our rules are based on the Golden Rule: "do unto others as you'd have done unto you". Be helpful and polite. If you feel you cannot uphold these simple rules, then please decline your position and allow someone else to take your place. We want to have the best guild possible...and we have some of the best guild members online. Let's do our best to help them out

As we just restructed things, we may add to the upper ranks as needed. Right now, we have it set so there are 13 officers for voting purposes (uneven number...and lucky number 13). Basically 3 GL's, 3 High Council Members(rank 1) and 7 council members (rank 2) = 13.

Rank 4 - Avatar Recruiter - No longer exists as an officer level - sort of. That is now the place for Officer Alts, so the alts of all the officers can see and use Officer Chat. So, all you officers that have alts, let us know who they are so we can set this up for you

Promotions were given to several people (sorry, I can't remember them all)...but congrats to you all Just so people know...Rank 5 (Demi-God) is the highest Guild Member rank, before getting into officer levels.

New Recruits - if you didn't make the meeting last night and are still listed as new recruit, please let an officer know so they can promote you to rank 8 Hero. This is only for people who were still new recruits as of Sunday Sept 1.

FOR ALL MEMBERS: Please do NOT asked to be Power levelled! This has been a rule since day one in this guild. It puts pressure on the people you're asking. They feel obligated to drop what they are doing to run to help you. This isn't fair to them. Lots of times, someone won't say no because they feel guilty about not helping. They pay to play this game and have fun too. Being hounded is not fun.

On the same note to ALL members: When someone logs in and asks for a group...there are usually some people on around the same level. It doesn't hurt to ask them to join you. Others have helped you by grouping...please extend the same courtesy to the next person down. This will also help stop the pleas for PL too. And we'll grow stronger as a guild..you learn people's fighting styles and how to work together, plus you make new friends. People that never get a response and can never find someone to group with, will eventually leave the guild, because they feel they are being ignored. That doesn NOT include pleas for PL though...we're talking about people looking for groups within their same levels.

For any guild member - if you are happy with someone, please let an officer know...we like to show our appreciation to them By the same token...if someone is causing problems, let an officer know so one of us can discuss it with him/her. (Officer's - if you are really having problems with someone, then let a guild leader know please).

Wrath has offered to give a platinum to all crafters who reach the 800 crafting mark. Also, please help out our crafters, so they can get their skills up in order to make armor/weapons/bows/arrows for our guild members (plus seige weapons for RvR). If you can spare a few gold now and then, please do so.

Our Current Crafters Over 400 and who could use help with any spare money are:

Armor Crafters

Lorinth Oakfell 35th level Bard 700
Jebb 22nd level Blademaster 504

Fletchers

Johsiah FarStrider 24th level Ranger 434

Tailor Crafters

Glitterbabe Fairywannabe 43rd level Mentalist 724
Maltorin Sysotheran 33rd level Eldritch 600
Shanelle Adarian 42nd level Enchantress 469
Lorinth Oakfell 35th level Bard 405
Isles Vox 14th level Eldritch 401
Kili 9th level Nightshade 400

Weapon Crafters

None over 400, but Cadrian is at 300

(These numbers were taken from the Camelot Herald Database, which hasn't been updated recently....so the numbers may be higher than noted)

As a quick up date too for those who don't know, our alliance partners are:

Legacy of War (alliance leader)
Lords of the Hunt
Count Zero

and it looks like another guild will be joining our alliance soon. Negotiations are in progress.

Congratulations to Miznatt (Gringot) on winning the new Color/Emblem contest. Looks snazzy.

And lastly, we had a great guild outing last night after the meeting. Everyone logged onto the Hibernia, Modred server (PvP) with a level 1 character. Their names had to start with xoxo(name). It was funny how most people picked a firbolg guardian And the comments from the players on there were a hoot. Many wanted to join us We went off into a safer area (well, as safe as you can be on that server), took off our safety flags and fought each other...to the last man standing. I'm still confused to who actually won...but congrats to whoever it was

August 27th/2002 - Realm Point Ability Chart

Hey everyone. Grania's Glade website has a chart set up so you can see how many points you get for each realm rank level. The charts use a formula for each possible realm rank and level combination to provide a quick reference tool. So, for example: if you want to know how many points you need to reach 1L9 (which is 5,100 realm points) and how many points you have to spend (which is 9), be sure to check out this chart. I've also added a link to it on this page under Daoc Help Guides to the left. Realm Point Chart -

I've updated the Kill Task Item drops that you can turn in. Found some more merchants that accept things and added how much experience you get when you turn the item in. If any of you can help fill in the blanks, it would be much appreciated. Check out the Kill Task Lists here. I've also added a print version here so everyone can print it out to have a handy list nearby :) - Tamako

July 6th, 2002 - Guild meeting

Greetings to the Athena's Avatars! Last night the guild had their first guild meeting in front of Mag Mell. Thank you to all that came. Goodies were handed out and guild guidelines and suggestions were taken. It's been decided that a guild meeting will be held every 2nd Sunday at 7 p.m. CT (9 p.m. EST), followed by an XP evening for higher levels (level 30+). XP night for high levels will be EVERY SUNDAY....guild meetings every second Sunday.

On Mondays, we'll be having a Lowbie Love night where the higher level players will be helping out the people below level 30 to gain xp. We'll also be starting to schedule raids as we climb higher in levels and in numbers, so anyone with good crafting skills will be needed to make proper siege equipment for beating down keep doors, etc.

It was suggested that Wednesday nights be Guild Game Night where we schedule races, scavenger hunts, etc. Another good idea would also to have a Quest Night...where we help others out in completing their Epic Quests.

Also, for the next 2 weeks, ALL FULL MEMBERS have inviting privlages to invite others into the guild. We're looking for members that are pleasant, enjoy groups, will share their finds if they can't use them, etc. Basically, no jerks please.
