MODERATOR EDIT: *SNIP* No need to call admins/mods that. Go be unfunny somewhere else.

Happy new year from the Dutchlands.

Hoe hoe hoe!
Merry xxx-mas!

You could just join another guild that doesn't have these restrictions ofcourse.

You should be able to get at least 50k for that!

Thus we shal call it "tiny Tokuno" and conduct heavy guard patrols in order to keep civil unrest to a minimum! heh I like the idea of guardsmen getting to oppress people!

Yeah, you can try but a likely scenario is that you'll first get samurai-smashed and assassinated afterwards.

As for a little Tokuno, I remade my building into a jap-style look, but not quite sure it looks in place with the rest of the BoC buildings.

As for a museum with the KTD relics in Cove, not sure about that either. In any case, the KTD lore would only go to a dedicated library, not one that would be likely to be gone in a few months with the items lost  forever.

[So it was a done deal as Kazuo Shinrai walked out of the Baron's office. The small watchtower north of the barracks had been transfered to Kazuo for an unknown amount of coin. Whenever the old Tokunian sets his mind on a business deal, it generally does not take long to aquire the goods or service he is after and for a good price too! Nodding to himself he tucked away the deed of ownership, folded his hands in his sleeves and headed towards his newly aquired property.It was already late in the day and the sun was about to set when Kazuo entered the old watchtower. Locking the door behind him he looked around at the ramshackle building that was once a sturdy watchtower overlooking the nearby lake. There was little pride to owning the building in it's current state and renovating the place would not only be quite a chore, it would also be likely to cost a hefty sum of coin. As Kazuo slowly walked around, inspecting the integrity of the walls, he was greeted by a familiar voice."So, this plot be ours then ey? Heh, knew ye could pull it off!"Not bothering to take as much as a glance in the direction the voice came from, Kazuo responded coldly."I always get what I want Moraine, one way or another."At this point he slowly turned towards Moraine DiGoraz, a known con-artist and thief, who was casually leaning against a corner wall, picking the dirt from under his nails with a finely crafted dagger. Kazuo glared at him."I take it the other preparations are all in order?"The usual cheerfulness in Moraine's voice slowly ebbed away and in a half whisper he responded."O'corse, wot ye take me for ey? Ye asks Moraine ter do somethin' an' Moraine does it for ye. I be nay a fool ey, by now me knows nay ter cross yer...."....A few weeks had passed and the old ramshackle watchtower had been fully renovated and made into what looked like a fortified warehouse. A sign had been erected at the entrance of the building, which had been expanded as well. It read "Cove Tradepost".During the construction period Kazuo was rarely seen at the site, only once he had shown his face when constuction works were hardly progressing and demanded an explanation. After one or two of the local contruction workers disappeared over night, the building was completed nearly twice as fast as anticipated.When the building neared completion and even when the building was completed, no announcedments were made about a new establishment being opened in Cove. Things were kept quiet about the renovated watchtower and although there was some occasional activity during the days (and some at night), most Covians did not bother much to find out about the place. As far as they were concerned, it was just another warehouse.]

Kazuo may be transfer his knowledge of politics & intrigue to paper.

Additionally, should you be interrested, I hold the entire library collection of TBK/KTD along with most, if not all, of their artifacts.

Happy to engrave anything you need mate.

I wouldn't mind coming over to Atlantic to have a look mate.
I am a big fan of old "retro" UO junk, might even be able to trade you something good for it on Europa.

Yeah, we could have an "Under Siege" scenario and Kasei could go all Steven Segal on people!

Still, what should be decided first is which buildings would have to be sacrificed, get in contact with the owners, determine the owner of the castle (I agree it should be Oct) and see if you can get GM support when doing it.

What you should NOT do is discuss the full details of the plan in this thread on this public board.
Get on icq, get the right people together, keep the rest of the plan a secret as much as possible and surprise us by having is gawk on the amazing BoC castle when we wake up someday.

I recommend from now on this thread should be confined to a discussion of how to decorate the theoretical castle (and which parts of it are gonna be donated to Kazuo to make it an office, I would prefer the middle halls).

If we are doing this we should try to get the help of EA, or at least a GM.
Ecspecially since we are publicly discussing this there is a very real chance that a griefer may try to fuck us over.

*place*
"MuWaHaHa dIz iZ mY kAztL n0w!!!1one"

Other than that I am all for the idea.

Another problem may be getting all the home owners active at the same time.
Houses need to be cleaned out and demolished which will be ALOT of work.

I think this could work but it will be hell organization-wise.
(althought a decent Organization rocks, it has been proven before!)

As far as I know the Avatar kicking Mondain's arse is and has been the UO intro movie ever since the launch.

As for the old UO music, I have them all in midi format (from the original disks).

Cast haste.

[Meet UO's 10th Anniversary Items!]

Meet UO's 10th Anniversary Items!

Here at last is the complete list of 10th Anniversary items, with attributes and pictures for your viewing pleasure! It's taken quite a bit of research to find these, and there are two missing images (one 2D, one KR) at the time of printing. These will replaced with the correct images as soon as I can obtain them!

A few things worth noting:

• Some earlier Virtue Armor pieces (such as Helm of Spirituality) are being re-released   with this set, but have improved attributes when forming part of the set. The older ones have   +1% of each resist when the full set , rather than the 20% in these pieces.
• Powder of Fortification cannot be used on any of these items.
• The 10th Anniversary Sculpture allegedly gives a luck bonus (rumours have said 650 luck for twenty-four hours, 700 luck for one hour and possibly other combinations). I have been unable to confirm the exact details of this attribute.
• For those who aren't yet aware, these items have a chance to drop in your backpack when fighting in Britannia's Anti-Virtue Dungeons (that means Covetous, Deceit, Despise,   Destard, Hythloth, Shame and Wrong).
• These items are due to be released to all shards on 25th September: UO's 10th Anniversary.
