Bounty Hunter's Guild
Report #83
8.16.2002 - Trench
Sirs,
The first news to announce this week is the appointment of our new Adjunct, Minerva Ramirez!
Min has been with the BHG a very long time and has served us in many different positions, and as Adjunct will no doubt lead the BHG's relatively new roleplaying initiative to new heights. RPing in the BHG has proven to be a favorite pastime and I have little doubt that on her watch it will continue to be so.
Congratulations.
Now, to announcements, and other news...
PR Zedder reports:
1) I will be working on KAG system stuff this week in
an attempt to get you guys a KAG before September
starts.
2) KA Hunts - I'm still not sure what's borked with
the database; to my knowledge, neither does Tad, right
now.
3) I'm getting really frustrated with some code...it's
not working the way I want. If any of you want to
help me with some PHP that checks a database to see if
a field already exists, please, talk to me.
JUD Ehart reports:
1) The KA hunts will not be updated this week end. To my knowledge
they are
still not allowing new hunts to be added. I'll extend the dates on the
old
hunts so those who have not done them can.
2) Once Zedder has the problem fixed he'll let us all know.
3) I have added some new estates to the system manual this week. I
think the
medal's a nice incentive. If you are BRN+ and want one, send your
estate on
over.
4) More KA systems updates... Zedder is still working on the KAG
system, no
KAG dates till that is done too.
5) I need to do some work on my PC this week. If I'm missing for a few
days
then that's why.
6) The CH manuals have been updated so all Kabal leaders need to read
them
over. The new Warden manual has been added too.
7) Happy hunting E.
Ehart has also initiated the following new medal (text from the manual):
Key of Lyarna (KL)
Every member of the BHG is given a plot of land once he reaches the
rank of
Baron. This land can then be used for the hunter to create his home
estate.
A place for the hunter to live and train. Once a hunter has build his
estate
and all information regarding it has been sent to the Judicator he will
be
awarded with the Key of Lyarna. This is a formal document issued by
Dak`wind
Estates detailing the hunters estate. A list of all the current estates
in
the system can be found at http://lyarna.thebhg.org/
Awarded for: Creating a system description of your home estate.
Awarded by: The Judicator
This medal was announced last week but I want to post its offical description and emphasize its existence.
SP Kal-Ket reports:
[1] Jernai is awesome! Now available in #BHG are Random Quotes from the
BHG Quote Archive! Just type "!quote" in #BHG, and you'll have fun for
hours ... or until an op tells you to can it. So, if you want to see a
wider variety of quotes, stop by the Specialist's Office today!
[http://specialist.thebhg.org/quotes.php]
[2] Awards for submitting quotes have been posted on the Message Board.
We had over 90 entries this week! A special thanks again goes to Jernai
for providing us with 75 of those quotes.
[3] The quote of the week has been selected due to it being submitted
by
3 different hunters! Here it is:
<Raistline> why is the sky brown?
<Jernai> Raistline: god has diarrhea :P
[4] And still more on quotes... I've created a page that will allow you
to see quotes by Hunter or allow you to search for key words! It will
be
up on the main BHG site shortly, but for now, you can check it out at
[http://specialist.thebhg.org/show_quotes.php].
[5] Not much else this week... the quotes have been taking up a lot of
my time. We'll see what goes on with next week :-)
[6] We will be conducting three IRC Hunts after the meeting, so stick
around for The Specialist's Groovy Weekly Post-Meeting, IC-Awarding
Internet Relay Chat Speed Event!
I would also like to announce that I will be away, possibly with e-mail access but likely not, from August 22 to August 28. This should be nothing more than a bump in the road--although I expect these days to be very important ones for us due to some things that are going on behind the scenes, I am taking extensive steps to make sure that everything runs smoothly and I know in advance what will be happening then.
Respectfully submitted,
Dark Prince Trench
