Day at the Race Track

Opposing Force Guild on Hislbury had their Guild Party at the Dark Horse Downs on Thursday 4-19-07. They had a great turn out. Lots of fun and festivities.

GM Tiara riding on her Pegasus. And Alacard showing off his very long title. :)

Jumping for joy or losing his head? :)

I am not sure what kind of luck this guy will have with two black cats crossing his path!

Cow...moon. Dish...spoon?

Thank you to Alacard and Chian for contributing pictures. And to the Opposing Force Guild for such a great event.

Shadow Hound Found!

I was unable to determine who had the world first for the Shadow Hound (if anyone knows please let me know) but, I did get someone from the first group on Flamehammer to pose for some pictures. A special thanks to Padrick the guild leader of Defiant Phoenix.

Padrick and his new mount.

Congratulations Padrick! Thank you once again for taking time from your crafting and showing me you new mount.

A Wedding Announcement

I just received word that there will be a wedding on Tharridon tomorrow. The Birde and Groom have extended an invitation to all Vanguard Players. Hope to see you there!

What has 4 hooves and a horn?

Why a unicorn of course! I have unconfirmed reports that Nevalya of Maison d'Onarius is the first person in Telon to be riding around on her very own unicorn. I stopped by the Gelenia Server to speak with her and she was gracious enough to let me take a few photos to commemorate the occasion.

Some pretty prancing.

Posing for a shot.

WTG Nevalya! Thank you for hanging out with me today. Enjoy your new ride!

Updating Photo Programs.

It looks like they are updating the photo program associated with Blogger today. I apologize for my missing photos! I hope they will be back soon!:)

Way Back Wednesday!

Well today is Wednesday and that means its time for some screenshots full of Beta goodness! I dug deep today to find some of these. I also have a nice shot sent to me by Squire Myrhiane. I do not think it is really from beta but it is very pretty and I wanted to share it.

This is one of the very first pictures I have of KJ in fact I think she was named Kj then as the game still allowed two letter names. The game still allowed all Wood Elves to look exactly the same as well. ;) This was taken in New Targonor 12-11-2005.

This was is a little more recent. I am in this one and took it with a second computer. If you look I am that teeny tiny gal up on the swamp flyer. This was actually part of a group of shots we took as concepts for some promotional materials. It looks kind of similar. :) The shot was taken 7-27-06

This shot was taken taken outside Vol Tuniel on 4-14-2006.

This was taken in The Serpent of Sihari on 9-1-06. We were working on group combat shots. Glip and Elrar were in this shot although I can not remember who is who.

This shot of a beautiful waterfall was sent to me by Squire Myrhiane. I am not sure of its location nor do I know the date it was taken. It is gorgeous nonethless.

On a side note I would like to welcome our newest Squirelings! Squire Gromko will be joining the Phoenix Cluster and Squire Jmar will be joining us on Pegasus. Welcome to both of you.

That is all for today. Do not forget about the event on Hilsbury tomorrow. I am sure it will be a blast!

WTB sunburn treatment!

After a day at the races I donned my beach attire and headed out to The Isle of Elionia over on Woefeather for The Order of the Hammer's Beach Party. This was a great meet and greet event open to all Woefeather players. There was a really nice turn out some arriving by boat, others making the daring swim out to the island. We all munched on fox-tail franks, badger burgers and yummy pie. There was combat, games, dancing, and even some fireworks.

Guests arriving.

Bikini-clad girls in combat...where is that /summonjellopit command when you need it!

Dancing. Check out Leevi's diplomacy gear that is really nice looking.

As the sun went down we gathered around the camp fire. Okay we didn't really have a camp fire but Sir-Kiryo was quick on his feet and improvised for us.

Navid captured this great shot of fire-works!

Thanks to Order of the Hammer for sponsering this event and to everyone who stopped by. Stop by Woefeather Conclave to see more about the event and to check out some shots in their gallery. Navid has some really nice shots up too. I am looking forward to the next one. Although, I vote for Keejay Cove as the location!

The race was embraced!

It was a fine day in the Cliffs of Ghelgad this past Sunday (a much nicer day for a race then it was in Boston!) There was a very nice turn out on Flamehammer for CTNT's Embrace the Race II. There were two events held. One was a sprint out to the Beacon of Hafeez Al'Azzimat then back to the docks in Khal and the other was a hide-n-seek type of event where the racers had to find Verath who was hidden I think under a pile of hay near some smelly camels in Khal.

The line up in Cliffs of Ghelgad for race one.

A little chicken fun!

This really was a fun event! I heard there was a giant bee name Tyathera chasing racers! For more highlights and the race results visit the CTNT's webiste. Thank you to CTNT and to everyone who came out to support them. I am looking forward to see what they have in store next!

Congratulations Sir Audin!

Early (well at least for me anyway because I stayed up too late the night before playing VG) Saturday Morning we had Audin's Knighting Ceremony. It was a bit more intimate but no less important! Sir Kulggen was on hand to conduct the ceremony with us ladies looking on.

Preparing for the ceremony.

The lovely Nethe and Joshuko

Congratulations Sir-Audin. Let's celebrate!

Sir Audin becoming official purchasing his CF gear.

Thank you to all who attended. Congratulations once again Sir Audin and the Manticore Cluster! Look for some more weekend highlights tomorrow.

Congratulations Sir Hondra!

Friday night was our first Knight Ceremony of the weekend. A bunch of folks piled on the Tharridon Server to watch Squire Hondra recite his vows and pass into Knighthood. As usual there was much hoopla and merriment when a crowd this size gathers.

Hondra with Tulros taking his oath.

Congratulations Sir Hondra!

Someone turned us into Halflings. Was that why we had a surprised look on our faces?

Or was it because we were afraid that Joshuko was going to become a foxy snack?

Well Gene Simmons has his Kiss Army. GM-Tyathera has her Camel Army!

Congratulations once again Sir Hondra of the Cyclops Cluster, well done! And a big thanks to all who came out for the ceremony.

What a Weekend!

Wow what a busy weekend! I was able to make all of the planned events this weekend and boy did I have a great time. Starting out the weekend on Friday night and Saturday morning with two Knighting Ceremonies and finishing up on Sunday with some exciting races and a really fun beach party. I had lots of people contribute photos so expect some furious posting over the next few days.

Before I get to what happened over the weekend I wanted to take a moment to mention an upcoming event. Normally I would post it on Friday, but since the event is taking place on Thursday Friday would be a little too late!

Opposing Force on the Hilsbury Server has announced that they will be hosting an all-server Guild Party. All Hilsbury players both guilded and non-guilded are invited to attend a party at Dark Horse Downs in Lomshir Plains this coming Thursday. For more information please feel free to their web site.

A big thanks to Opposing Force for hosting this great event. Please come out and show your support!

Stay tuned for more information from this past weekend.
