Novus Is Ours To Reap

2010-01-07T20:23:22-08:00

The boys and girls we have over there, who have been fighting against those barbies and tincans, battle it out day and night through molten lava, blizzards, and stormy terrain. Everytime we were out of our settlements we had to watch our backs; everytime we had to watch out for foes crawling out of their cowardly blue colored caves, or steel huts. And everytime they try to outwit us, we have the lust to beat them down and show them that Bellato will never back down.

Novus Is Ours To Reap!

a report of Royal Antherion Dureaux, guild leader of the HolyOrder, to the Bellato Senate

Sir's, Madame's: Good day.

The privilege of giving you this war report of our efforts on Novus is overwhelming and, at the same time, exciting. It has been a long time since there has been a war as glorious and as compelling to win as the one we have there in that planet of Haloment. I am Royal Antherion Dureaux of the Federation North Group and guild leader of the HolyOrder; assigned to the 1st Battalion's Sentinel Division that was among the first to be deployed in the sector, and this officer is proud to speak of our efforts in Novus.

The boys and girls we have over there, who have been fighting against those barbies and tincans, battle it out day and night through molten lava, blizzards, and stormy terrain. Everytime we were out of our settlements we had to watch our backs; everytime we had to watch out for foes crawling out of their cowardly blue colored caves, or steel huts. And everytime they try to outwit us, we have the lust to beat them down and show them that Bellato will never back down.

When we started the war 4 years ago, we only had our base MAU units, and we held them down and occupied the Crag Mines like it was our second home. That was when we were able to provide homeworld with enough haloment to improve our weaponry and provide energy to our shelters. When the leather-strapped barbies gained strength to oppose us, you sent us new upgrades while the infantry improved their skills and abilities in Force, Melee and Long Range tactics.

When the upgrades arrived, we pounded those frail tall ones back into their forestry even as those abominations of steel tried to hit us from the back like the backstabbers they are. Even though the numbers were not in our favor, we pushed them back and continued to get a hold of OUR core and get those prized pieces of rock.

...

It was never easy.

The battles fought in the Crag Mines were bloody, but none of those on Novus can say that skirmishes were less gory. There have been a lot of casualties; a lot of injuries on our end, but I can never say that our enemies have been more fortunate. You have seen reports from our Research Division, and we have never run out of supplies of steel specimen or captured animus for us to experiment on. All those are products of our efforts and triumphs on Novus -- whether the battle was fought in the mines or at the hostile areas.

Senator Duvall, members of the senate: The new upgrades that have been sent as well as the additional infantry have and will not be used in vain. Just recently, we have cleaned out the land of the tribes that is Outcast Land of any enemy presence. Those steel-bodied walking dents and cloth-deprived pimps kept coming, but we kept pounding them away as our other brothers in arms continued their training.

It is only with continuous training that we can improve our skills of war so that we may use the crucial equipment that you supply for us with utmost efficiency. The nuclear arsenal provided by your gracious funding has always been put to good use. Our victories on Novus are not only due to the courage and bravery of the men and women who use them, but also due to the upgraded equipment that we can utilize at will.

We have had a lot of victories, yet I cannot say that we have not had our fair share of losses; losses that led to many casualties on the side of our foes as well. But what I can assure you, my dear council... fellow Bellato, is that none of the men and women on that gigantic prized piece of rock will ever lose their heart to fight for what is rightfully ours.

WE ARE BELLATO! And NOVUS is OURS to REAP! And THAT is the current situation on Novus.

Oorah!

The 'Mexican' Flu, What You Should Know

2009-10-28T10:23:55-07:00

A public service, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised the alert level to 5 out of 6 levels. This is the first time the system, since first used, reached this high level. WHO also fears that a pandemic is 'imminent'.

Inside you will find select information I personally believe that you should know immediately.

Q: What is swine flu?
A: Swine flu is a respiratory disease, caused by influenza type A.

Q: What is new about this type of swine flue?
A: The World Health Organization has confirmed that at least some of the human cases are a never-before-seen version of the H1N1 strain of influenza type A.

Q: What is the H1N1 strain?
A: H1N1 is the same strain which causes seasonal outbreaks of flu in humans on a regular basis.

But this latest version of H1N1 is different: it contains genetic material that is typically found in strains of the virus that affect humans, birds, and swine.

It seems likely that the new version of H1N1 developed from pigs, a 'melting pot' that mixed the different versions of the virus.

Q: Is it safe to eat pig meat?
A: Yes. There is no evidence that swine flue can be transmitted through eating meat from infected animals. However, it is essential to cook meat properly. A temperature of 70C (158F) would be sure to kill the virus.

Q: Can the virus be contained?
A: The virus appears already to have started to spread around the world, and most experts believe that containment of the virus in the era of readily available air travel will be extremely difficult.

WHO says that restricting flights will have little effect. It argues that screening of passengers is also unlikely to have much impact, as symptoms may not be apparent in many infected people.

In other reports, the new strain incubates for at least 1 day up to 4 days, country entry point monitors will more likely have missed infected people as the virus is still incubating.

Q: How worried should people be?
A: WHO has warned that swine flu could potentially trigger a global pandemic, and stress that the situation is serious.

There is hope that, as humans are often exposed to forms of H1N1 through seasonal flu, our immune systems may have something of a head start in fighting infection.

However, the fact that many of the victims are young does point to something unusual. Normal, seasonal flu tends to affect the elderly disproportionately.

Q: What precations should I take to minimize infection?
A: Back to basics of health care.

Avoid close contact with people who appear unwell (like fever and cough).
Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. Use a tissue when possible and dispose of it properly. (And inform the people around you to do the same.)
Wash your hands properly, if you know it, the Doctor's way.
Wear a mask to cover your nose and mouth.
Bring hand sanitizers and use it frequently.

Saga is a persistent world RTS in an epic fantasy setting. Players collect troops, build armies, conquer new lands and build up kingdoms, complete with resource collection, city building and peasant management

See what MMO does to RTS! When your game no longer resets after every battle a world of opportunity reveals itself. Auction houses allow the trade of resources, troops and spells between thousands of players. Grand cities can be constructed with peasants who work at producing resources even when you’re off-line. Players can begin planning for the future instead of practicing the frantic first 6 second build order that typically determines the winner in other RTS games.

Saga Features: No Monthly Fee EVER: Saga is completely free to play. All new content is delivered via the Saga patcher at no additional charge.

Ever Expanding World: Saga delivers patches approximately every 2 weeks, each one bringing new quests, new features, and other exciting additions.

Player-Driven Content: 80% of all content created post release has been a result of player suggestions on the Saga forums. Developers are online often chatting and getting feedback from the community.

Collectible: Collect over 200 troops and spells through virtual boosters, online trades, or questing.

Customizable: Build your home city the way you want it. Place your towers strategically because you never know who may come knocking. Arrange your army into units equipped with a variety of weapons and armors enchanted the way you want.

Community: Join a Guild. Play over a thousand quests solo or cooperatively with a friend. Only the best generals stand even a chance of beating the epic quests solo.

PVP: Saga has 8 types of PvP. Challenge your friends to city vs city battles and set the level of risk. Raid your enemies (and friends) for resources. All Saga PvP is opt-in, so unless you’re brave or foolish enough, you will never return to a city in ruins.

Holy Order: The Year That Was 2008; The Year 2009

2009-10-28T10:23:13-07:00

An announcement from Antherion Dureaux, Keeper el Lei of the Holy Order of the Light™.

Praise be!

The Year 2008 was another good year for the guild. The growth in the major realms was outstanding, and through the bumps along the way, the guild has gotten stronger in terms of camaraderie, friendship, and game knowledge and power. The guild was also able to get a foothold in the 2 communities that it has been a part of, and even though there were detractors, and pasaways in and outside of the family, we have stood our ground. With this being said, I am and will always proud to say that I'm a member of HolyOrder™.

We have finally been able to participate in LU Live, and that's a hurdle that the guild has been trying to overcome. So, to all the organizers, and to everyone that helped, give yourselves a pat on the back. Even if we lost some money, both due to low sales, and due to "missing" amounts, we can say that we were very successful. There are still pillows and mugs left, mind you, so just approach your chambers on how you can purchase some. Feel free to tell your friends too! And this year, we will try again!

With each passing year comes changes -- Changes in plans, changes in structure, and changes in people. Change is inevitable, and we always have to think of the things that we have to change in order to better ourselves for the sake of our comrades, our brothers and sisters, and for the communities around us. Those that our new to our organization, the Divine Light Bearers, and those that are just a year into the guild, would probably not know what it's been through. Or you/they probably just know about your realms.

HolyOrder™ is a community-centric guild. We have always been that way since 2003, and we still hope to stay that way. When Perfect World came, a proposal was made to try and be hardcore, and try to compete. The decision to take on this endeavor was made by all the Keepers, and chambers across the different realms, and I can say that it was an experience both good and bad. The triumph, the new people, the fame, the friends, the politics, the controversies... They were all for the benefit of the guild, and they are all part and parcel of being in a MMORPG, and community. All the experiences that we gained from PW will forever have an impact on the guild, and the way we approach other guilds, and with this I would like to congratulate our PW contingent, both past and present for handling things quite well. Also, defending our title was a feat fashionably overtaken.

The RF contingent has ever been solid. The members handling it now are the members that have been with the guild from the start. Some have left due to RL needs -- mostly work, but those that are still there are those that can be considered loyal. Having had the opportunity to work with all of them, I can say that the guild has evolved into one solid unit, having one voice, almost one mind, and share the same ideals. Even if the guild in RF is not as successful in terms of game accomplishments, I can consider the guild to be as successful as PW in terms of community involvement. The ideals, policies, and positive outlook in terms of camaraderie and friendship that we have is what we share with the other players and guilds, and RF contingent has done a pretty good job.

With every person that goes through the guild, and whether they've stayed or not, we have always tried to instill in them our discipline and our ideals. This is the stance that the guild has been known for ever since. It's not our success in the battlefield that's what we are known for because that comes and goes; it's our success in instilling our ideals of good gaming which will have a lasting effect in the communities that we become a part of.

This being said, the Circle of Keepers have decided on the plan for the next realm that the guild will be participating in -- Rohan Philippines. The guild will take the role and direction that the RF Online contingent has taken. With regards to the competition in-game, in terms of Township Battles or Castle Sieges, we will join but only up to a certain extent. As much as we "enjoyed" the politics of Perfect World, we will try to steer clear of it in Rohan. This direction is proven to strengthen the bond between the members of the guild, and can also improve the relationship of the guild with the other guilds within the community. The growth of the guild in terms of membership has been a welcome sight, and we will always welcome new members who would like to join us even if we're not out to become famous and triumphant in the game.

Again, a well-deserved pat-on-the-back and thumbs-up for the guild for the year 2008! Let's strive to accomplish our goals for 2009, and continue being what we have always been -- a FAMILY.

Praises to all!

Signed,

Antherion Dureaux
Keeper of the Light
RF Online Overlord
Guild's 3rd-Lolo

Lord British is Back to Create Worlds

2009-10-28T10:22:28-07:00

Richard Garriott, more popular known as Lord British from his PC RPG series Ultima, is back to (We) Create Worlds again. This time, he will be back to create probably a Medieval Fantasy game, and probably online too!

After 25 years at Origin, the last thing I wanted to make was yet another medieval fantasy game. Now, after a very interesting break, I'm keen to get back into the fray and work on a new game. Probably medieval fantasy and probably online; there's something very powerful about getting people together.

Anthenuria Principality

Anthenuria™ Principality is a Micronation of like-minded individuals and organizations bounded together by a common vision that we can create and share a healthy Community of responsible citizens.

Anthenuria's birth can be traced back to the gaming community Holy Order of the Light™ where it was decided to share the kind of camaraderie and fun Community the guild has developed. It is through Anthenuria, that this Community can be shared away from the "gaming" image, after all, the members surpassed the bonds it built around gaming.

Through Anthenuria, a broader Community was built that caters to our diverse world and which opens a whole new world of possibilities for the members to explore.

We are the Anthenurians, a micronation bonded by a strong friendship that transcends space-time, and we are sharing our world with YOU.

Holy Order of the Light

Founded in 2003, the Holy Order of the Light™ ("HOL" / "Hold Order") is one of the Philippines and Asean online gaming's oldest and strongest guilds. We believe in building friendships that lasts beyond gaming. We believe in openness and equality in the Community. This made the Holy Order unique and strong that not even the strongest quake and storm can topple and unroot the guild.

Games and guilds come and go but the Holy Order is here from eternity to eternity. SIMI YES LEI on!! or The Light is My Life!
