Very sorry to hear this.  Even I have not been around much at all, but she was a staple to GIL and a kind person to all.

Hi Draven and Pallan - let me know if you need anything, I do lurk out there every once in a while.

Hi Ailieve!  How are you?  Glad to see you have returned!  I haven't been in game much at all, but I do check these forums every once in a while.  Let me know if I can be of any assistance!

The insane rarely ever think they are insane.  They always think everyone else is insane.  So who really is insane?

I will say though, pink and purple cows?  Sounds like the insanity of the gods of our lands.

Hi Stryder - who was around when you were part of CWS?

Welcome to the alliance!  Seems like you'll fit right in.

Hi guys - sorry I'm stuck in the hospital with the little one with a possible infection.  Everything seems ok, but he has to undergo 10 days of IV antibiotics while in the hospital, so I'm sure you understand my unavailability.  I got a PM from Rothen about some business/voting which I appreciate.  Go ahead and do what you guys feel is right and if you need me to do anything just shoot me a PM and I will.  Guess the good thing about being stuck in a hospital for 10 days is there's nothing to do but watch TV and look on the internet so I can hop on briefly if need be.

Born July 19, our first baby.  Trying to get him trained up as quickly as possible, first working on that hand-eye coordination.  Hopefully he'll be farming gold for me 3 years tops!  He's one of the reasons my playing time has been scarce (and will probably get even more scarce). 

Congrats man!

I get the exact same issue Shalimar does.  Oddly enough though I can access the thread Tjalle listed.

FYI, there's a meeting with Mesanna and the UO Producer tomorrow (Wednesday) at 9pm EST.  I wonder what's up.

Just thought it might be a good idea to preserve some of the history of the White Council and it's guilds by discussing it.  I've only been very active on Siege since 2003, so my knowledge only starts there, and most of it comes from heresay or a fuzzy recollection.  Please if someone knows fill in the blanks or by all means correct me if my memory is fading. 

First we must understand the background of UO in whole to understand how the WC came about.  Siege began in around June of 1999.  This is important because sometime in late 2008-early 2009 stat-loss was first introduced for reds, severely curtailing their freedom to murder without consequence.  So when Siege began, it had no stat-loss allowing reds to run rampant, and even allowed reds in towns, something that didn't exist on prodo shards.  Then with the advent of Trammel in around March 2000 and the eventual death of Felucca, this brought all sorts of 'felucca' type players (murderers and thieves) to Siege.  The whole point of this, is one must understand that back in 2000, Siege was a MUCH more difficult place.  Murderers were everywhere, unlike they are today.

So with murderers running rampant everywhere, the 'good' aligned guilds decided it was in their best interest to band together to defend themselves against these murderers.  So around I believe 2001-2002, Citizens of Wispwood Shire (CWS), Knights of the Round Table (KRT), House Lynn'Dannae (LDH), and Britain Militia (B*M) banded together to form the White Council.  At that time, it was mostly to put forth a common defense.

Through the years, many guilds joined and left the White Council.  Also the purpose of the White Council slowly morphed from common defense, to include joint hunts, looting rules, all to become what it is today.  Below I will list the current/former guilds of the White Council and their disposition (that I remember, and I know I'm missing several), and where they called 'home', if any:

CWS – Citizens of Wispwood Shire, 2001 – Present.  Wispwood, located near Yew.
KRT – Knights of the Round Table, 2001-2005 (Inactive).  Located NW of Trinsic, near Spirituality Shrine.
LDH – House Lynn'Dannae, 2001-2004 (Inactive).  Cove.
B*M – Britain Militia, 2001-2003 (Inactive).  Britain.
KSS  - Knights of the Silver Serpent, 2004-2008 (Joined as a house to Gilfane).  Wintermoor, NE Malas.
WAKA – Wakayama Clan, 2005-2006 (Left WC).  Near Homare moongate.
DTA – Delucia Trade Association, 2006 (Left WC).  SE of Trinsic Moongate.
DR – Devil's Rejects, 2006 (Left WC).
GIL – Gilfane, 2007 – Present.  Gilfane, S of Luna.

I know I'm missing several guilds, Keldon's guild being one of them. 

If anyone else can post more about history about the alliance, please do!

Happy Birthday Aislinn!  She's an elf, so by now she must be like 1,000 years old!

They were down *twitch* *twitch* for like *twitch* 2 minutes.  I couldn't get my *twitch* daytime soap drama *twitch* fix!  Especially with this *twitch* newest rehash of an old *twitch* plot. =)

Desdemona,

We happily accept your gracious offer.  We believe strongly that it is in both of our best interests to allow our Citizens/Members free and easy transport between our fair towns.  I will be in touch with Sara or yourself as soon as possible.

Gratefully,
Bruin
