This is our sanctuary. A place of artistic freedom dedicated to improving one's skills and forging an environment of growth, learning and excellence.

This guild is not for everyone. It is a place that will challenge you in ways you can only imagine. It is for those who are driven by their art and creativity and the desire to improve.

<img:stuff/themark.gif>

This is the mark of the guild which you may place in your house. It symbolizes your dedication to the guild and your desire to improve your artistic talents. It lets others know that you are serious about learning, and are willing to put forth the effort to make the change.

Now that you have chosen the path of the Dark Arrow, we invite you to help create an incredible fantasy world here at Elftown. This is not just another "Take Back Elftown" site, but more of a proactive working project. We are not replacing anything in Elftown- just creating a safe haven for those that want to and are willing to do something with the wonderful talent they have been given.

Our goal is to help create a stronger town within a town where other artists, writers, and RPGers etc. can find sanctuary.

The Ranks of the Dark Arrow
There are 4 ranks within the Dark Arrow- each are earned by a series of tests and trials. To become a master and teacher you will have to earn it. Nothing within this guild is given for free.

The ranks are as follows:
<img:stuff/yellarrowcln.gif>
The Youngling The Youngling is where you place your name. It is here your journey begins. You will create a personal wiki page where you may place your art to be judged. The more you place the better your chances are to be accepted by a knight to be mentored. It is here you also request the direction you wish to grow in. This helps us better place you with a knight.
all younglings and squires please read before you sign up darkarrow: is it worth it

Dark Arrow:Yellow Arrow


<img:stuff/grnarrow.gif>
The Squire
When chosen by a knight you will place this icon in your house. It is here that you work your way to knighthood. You will be given challenges and a quest, that will test your artistic ability. How you react will be a deciding factor in your quest for knight hood.
all younglings and squires please read before you sign up darkarrow: is it worth it

Dark Arrow:Green Arrow

<img:stuff/rdarrow.gif>
The Knight
A full member of the order. There are many different types of knights but all are equal. Some of the areas one might be a knight in: penciling, inking, or painting. Once you are a knight in a field, you may focus on other areas and abilites which will lead to the rank of master. A knight must go through the same training process in each field and pass a test to claim those extra ranks. The knight may use the red icon in their house and on their page. A knight is also expected to take on a squire in order to continue the training of newer guildmembers.
Dark Arrow:Red Arrow

<img:stuff/blkarrow.gif>
The Master Craftsman
These are knights that have earned 5 or more titles in the knight field and produce a complex and finished piece of art. They show incredible skill, ability and control and are able to produce complex and thought provoking works. They are chosen by the other masters and are required to find tutorials that will benefit the order, create tests for knighthood and help keep the guild active.
Dark Arrow:Black Arrow

To start the path into the guild, go here for the member template, copy and paste into your own "Dark Arrow: *yourname*" wiki.

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: so lerune what do you think so far?

2005-06-11 [Lerune]: It is so organized. =o) So organized in fact, that I really need to read up on it before I mess something up. ;o)

2005-06-11 [Rennie]: *smiles* I think I am set and ready to go. I will research a second for the red arrow and let you know what I've decided. ;)

2005-06-11 [TheRogue]: When the guards ban people.. do we get a nifty little skull too? :P

2005-06-11 [Igorina]: :) neat...thank ya for inviting me Travis. Gotta check it out some more I'm kind of like Lerune

2005-06-11 [Lerune]: Oh, there is a typo in the banner at the top... ;o) "Elftwon." Unimportant, I guess I am just being a dick and mentioning it. =oP

2005-06-11 [Igorina]: *grins* That's why I'm his writer ;O)

2005-06-11 [Igorina]: curse you anyhow Travis...You would have to tempt me when this carrot just as I'm planning to be gone for a bit *sigh*

2005-06-11 [travs the bean]: good eye- i'll fix it monday- yeah when a ban happens the person that reported the deed gets a skull

2005-06-11 [Rennie]: I was thinking...maybe we should make a 5/10/20/etc style skull for the more people you get banned, so we don't have a butt-ton of skulls in people's houses. Also, if you think about it, us guards in this group, we ban people almost every day (or I do anyhow ;) wouldn't that be a mite unfair to the rest who have no control over it...? I was thinking, since the guards are the heads of the 'clans', maybe we can just use a special badge saying we're the heads of said clans, and not get the skulls...or hmm...?

2005-06-11 [travs the bean]: i was thinking the same lines- let the non guards get the skulls and a 5 10 20 thing would be very cool

2005-06-12 [Rennie]: sounds good and fair to me ^_^

2005-06-13 [travs the bean]: ok fixed the logo- thanks lerune- now for some dark story like text for this page:) i also want to create a sepereate wiki from here where we can test em before we let them to the real place- maybe with just the logo of the three arrows:)?

2005-06-13 [travs the bean]: ok what else are we missing besides tavern graphics and the steel hammer guild info(working that:)) also we need to create a kill listing for awards so i can make the proper awards for that as well:) 100 kills gives you a gold arrow??? red arrow 150 kills- maybe some others as well that deals with skills

2005-06-13 [travs the bean]: i would like to invite asyrth to the cirlce as well -

2005-06-13 [travs the bean]: also who would you like your 2nds to be- we will decide the green and yellow later- unless lerune would like one since i think we are reserving the house leaders to be guards i believe- though i don't want to make specific to that- i would almost like to offer one to igorina-

2005-06-13 [travs the bean]: i think we are ok to add the 2nds and get some more thoughts- i just want to make sure we are uniform on how we ask- possible send them an pm with the 3 arrow graphic only if they ask tell them it's an invitation - if they accept invite them in- but only to fill your 2nds- we will define membership later -

2005-06-14 [Rennie]: oh yeah, loving that travs! Good house!!!

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: we need to also come up with some more jobs-and skills so i can get those badges going as well

2005-06-14 [Rennie]: *grins* I'ma waitress/wench...;)

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: i'll get those up soon- i am thinking of using the tavern as a front for an rpg- let anyone come- but let it hide the whole dark arrow site- want to make this fantasy and fun and let people be a little sneaky- we'll enforce a no mention dark arrow there though:) but it will be full of them

2005-06-14 [Rennie]: I was thinking of asking [DanClark] to be my second...I've known him for a good long while, and he's a good Elftowner...do we have a way of asking yet?

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: read above i was thinking about maybe sending them the 3 arrow logo only- let them ask what it is- than tell them about it - if they are interested than we ask them to join and show them the home page (which will change) but i was thinking about creatinga 3 arrow page (logo only) with what we are about and being secret- than letting them message you with their answer and then letting them join

2005-06-14 [Rennie]: I think that would be a better idea...the three arrow page that is...but only give the name to potentates :)

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: 3 arrow test it and see what you think

2005-06-14 [Rennie]: Perfect. Let's run with it.

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: i sent [asyrth] the 3 arrow logo- nothing more- i will await his response before i send the invitation wiki

2005-06-14 [Rennie]: I'll do the same with [DanClark] and wait and see what he says.

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: now it's getting fun- :)

2005-06-14 [Rennie]: oh yeah...I think this is such a great idea, but we do need to cut loose and enjoy it once in awhile too...;)

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: that's why the tavern- almost creating a town within the town:) also gonna set up so good rpg adventure wikis from there also

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: any word from dan??

2005-06-14 [Rennie]: Not yet, he's at work right now, so I assume it'll be a little bit before he can message me back :)

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: very cool- ok what else? oh we need to gome up with some honors and award badges (most kills etc???) any thoughts

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: ok the tavern is ready so to speak - i'm going to open it to the public- noone mention dark arrow there- it is our front

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: added weapon of choice to the member template

2005-06-14 [Lothuriel]: Hello *she says with a bloodthirsty grin* or shoudl I say "hi"...hehe

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: welcome loth- you will be in the red arrow house- your house captain is erinbabe-

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: once you go to your house you will set up a member page- and place it on the member list- i will send you the passwords for your house and for the member template above- the only image you are allowed to display in you et home is the 3 arrow symbol- there is no link back to here - we do not exsist

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: please also read everything- some badges will not apply to you at this time- also - the ghost members are not active- and you will later be instructed on how to use them

2005-06-14 [travs the bean]: feel free to ask any questions- young lady and welcome

2005-06-14 [Lothuriel]: *bows* thank you my lord.

2005-06-15 [Lerune]: Just wanted to I am sorry that I haven't been very active here. I have a lot going on with E12, Writersco and here. Plus, I have some sort of issue with my neck and shoulders these last few days, and I overdid my computer time the other day, so I have been more off than on... I am here, and I am reading, but not overly active just yet.

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: your still a big part of this- and we're going to keep growing- you get here when you can cause i want your imput and give you a house if you want it:)

2005-06-15 [Lerune]: I'd love to help, I just don't want to bite off more than I can chew... =o( I would feel so bad if I let someone down...

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: all that you can do is appreciated

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: welcome [Asryth] you will belong to the steel hammer house- all that you need to know is posted in the wiki and what i told lothuriel above- please put all your affairs in order and let the fun begin- i will email the codes to your house to make the changes you need

2005-06-15 [Asryth]: I'm honored to be a part of the 'Cleansing of Elftown'.

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: this my friend is becoming far more than the cleansing of eltown- :) it is a place where the fantasy lives on:)

2005-06-15 [Lerune]: Which house would be mine, so I can know what I am getting into. ;o)

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: you may choose green or yellow- erin's got red. rogue is black and i am the steel hammer- we will give aimee the color you don't choose

2005-06-15 [Lerune]: Then she's yellow. ;o) And another question -- do we HAVE to have "ghost" houses? I do not want another account here...I have too much to keep up with as it is... =o(

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: you do't have to have the account - rogue is setting up the ghost houses - it will be usuable by anyone in your house you deem fit to have access to- so don't worry about creating another account- we don't want headaches- and i will let you add your name and make changes as you see fit to your home:)

2005-06-15 [Lerune]: I was a little leery about that -- I am Lerune everywhere, and I don't want the headache of ANOTHER house to keep up with...I have one here, one on e12 (two if you count Gabby), one on Writersco...it goes on and on. I should be able to look it all over more tomorrow...I'll add it to my list of things to do on here, in between Elf12 recommendations and finishing badging the Front Page Art participants...

2005-06-15 [Lerune]: Oh, and since we are cleaning up, would you guys PLEASE send some of these younger, lost kids to me to join E12? I had one mother contact me through he daughter's account and was TICKLED that I told her daughter about E12, because she didn't like her using Elftown... I want as many kids there as we can get. ;o)

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: i understand - we wanted an account that would be able to warn that someone is being watched- without getting the massive feedback and grief- so hopefully that will ease your mind-

2005-06-15 [Lothuriel]: I am still fairly new to the "ways of Elftown" so to speak. But I think a ghost account would be an excellent idea. However, I wonder if one person, maybe two should be responsible for sending the messages. I know most of you are close friends here but, I would fear someone could get upset and send a nasty message to someone with the ghost account and leave the responsibility on everyone else. Does that make any snese? Always in arush and can't take the time to type things out properly.

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: the ghost houses in et are 5 houses completly blank- each house will have one- they are set up to let the guild wander freely through elftown and send warnings to violators - (through the badge above) . This way if the ghost gets banned from a house the member could check it without being recognized- and makes it easy to check if the cleanup has been done- oor if they need to be reported to a town guard. Only house members can run the ghost accounts- you just figure one day you'll log in to that account and roam- you say nothing - you ignore messages back you just send warnings:) sort of protects you and the guild

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: the only mark on the warning graphic- is the red arrow- there is nothing that mentions us- and rogue erinbabe and i felt that one per house would work well- remember this wiki will not be for everyone- just those that can be trusted to help clean elftown and keep the secret:)

2005-06-15 [Lothuriel]: Ok, I understand now. Sorry. I guess i misread the previous statement and ocmments.

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: that's why we're waiting for a few scribes to rewrite- my mumbo jumbo:)

2005-06-15 [Lothuriel]: LOL..I thinkyou are doing a fine job. I get in too much of a hurry.

2005-06-15 [Lerune]: I guess I could let the other people in my "guild" have a ghost house collectively, but I just do not have time for it...

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: i don't want you to worry about the ghost house now- it's down the line- we still got to get all the kinks out:) the whole thing is take your time, there is no rush rome was not built in a day- besides e12 is a great project and you do have your hands fulls- get a strong 2nd and all you have to do is delegate them to do all the work:)

2005-06-15 [Lerune]: ^_^ *hugs* I just worry that I have made myself too busy to enjoy things anymore, it all. 

2005-06-15 [travs the bean]: that's why i added the fantasy flare to this and created the tavern and such - we want this to be enjoyed- and sometimes one needs to step back and just smell the roses- :) and if you need help with graphics and such- a little swamped right now but i would give you a hand

2005-06-15 [Lerune]: I'll be graphic free if it is up to me. I don't put a lot of importance on them anyway. Probably because I don't and can't make them. ;o)

2005-06-15 [TheRogue]: Funny how graphics for Roonie suddenly just...just.. APPEAR out of nowhere, huh? *grin*

2005-06-15 [Lerune]: Because, for some reason, people love me. :D

2005-06-16 [DanClark]: Hello all....Erin sent me.

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: good morning dan and welcome- i will let erin get you started if it seems a little overwhelming - you will also belong to her house- which is the red arrow

2005-06-16 [Erestor]: Lerune sent me here.

2005-06-16 [Lerune]: Browse around, young padawan. ;o)

2005-06-16 [Erestor]: Will do.

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: erestor welcome- you are of the green arrow house

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: questions please ask- we will do our best -

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: ok guys a few more invites and that will be it until we get everything else built-

2005-06-16 [Erestor]: Hello travs thanks for the welcome, I took it among myself to make my page and add the mark to my house.

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: and only those to be trusted- all new members must clear the name with the house leaders - so post them here

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: very cool on my way- do you have the code to your home page?

2005-06-16 [Erestor]: My page is Dark Arrow: Erestor

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: the only thing now you have to add to your page is the 2nd badge- the 2 arrow in the quiver one:) - your duties are assist lerune in her house, keep it running and help keep the fantasy alive -

2005-06-16 [Erestor]: Yes, sir. Have I added it in the right place?

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: it is up to you- erin puts hers under the wiki name- mine is after backstory and above skills- it helps keep it uncluttered

2005-06-16 [Erestor]: Okay, I change it around to see what it looks like.

2005-06-16 [Lothuriel]: [travs the bean] if I made up a badge, do you thinkyou would have the time to /care to make it a transparent for me?

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: what program are you making it in?

2005-06-16 [Lothuriel]: I would have to use Microsoft Picture it Now becuase the free trial is over on my Paint Shop Pro =p

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: .... is it a gif now?

2005-06-16 [Lothuriel]: I haven't made it yet, lol...but if that is what I need to save it as then, it will be.

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: if you save it as a gif make the background clear i think (i don't use mocrosoft, Mac based and i use illustrator of PS for mine) it should work though- a jpeg will make the background white- a gif should leave the background transparent

2005-06-16 [Lothuriel]: How do I do that? Make the background clear that is?

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: it would be under the saving features i believe or in the pref- without seeing the program i don't know all the tricks- I think you can do a "save as" and you will get more options

2005-06-16 [Lothuriel]: Ok, thanks I will check it out!

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: i try- i will do my best to help

2005-06-16 [travs the bean]: we need feedback in the following areas to help me come up with the other graphics- right now it is skills

2005-06-17 [Rennie]: skills...like cyber/UAR violation/empty house hunters?

2005-06-17 [Erestor]: Erinbabe, I'm add all yours now with descriptions, thanks for the ideas :)

2005-06-17 [travs the bean]: ok we are addig some change- erin hows the council page coming- so we can move some more off this page and rewrite the intro to be a little more exciting- [Erestor] did a heck of a job on the intro page- where we send new recruits first

2005-06-17 [Rennie]: *shifty eyes* It's coming right along...I will post a link here when I get it done, just been very busy...give me till sunday.

2005-06-17 [travs the bean]: take the time you need:) once we get it posted we'll get the council there than delete it here

2005-06-18 [Erestor]: Dark arrow: Honors & Awards - Come here and suggest awards and honors/ titles that could be gained.

2005-06-19 [Igorina]: uff...I've got a lot to catch up on o_O

2005-06-20 [travs the bean]: yes you do aimee- we have...well um been busy:)

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: Travis are we still doing anything this? it's been mighty quiet :(

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: If we are I would like to invite my friend [LoReilly] to be either my second or my scribe in Yellow House. She is a dear friend of mine from college and I know her very well and trust her (Travis she played the little girl Shadow and the wolvm over when the brokenmoon RP was still going)

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: *sigh* little mini-rant here...with all the stuff that's been going on in the last few days...I honestly don't want to give Elftown up to the sleaze and the smut...I want to fight for her and make her a nice place to be. I don't know if you've ever read the Watch series in Terry Pratchett's marvelous Discworld books but for those that have one character keeps standing out to me, the captain of the City Watch named Sam Vimes. His motto was " We're not heroes...we're just doing our damn job " He worked in a city which was as corrupt and filthy as it gets and it seemed sometimes that it was not worth it at all, I mean heck even the guy he worked under used people like pawns (cont)

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: but the thing was he and his men were the Watch and they saw to it that justice happened and that city, corrupt and beyond hope though it may have been was THEIR city. And that's what I'm getting at. This is OUR town, us artists and writers and rp'ers. And she may be filled with smut and sleaze but she's still OUR town. And we're just doing our damn jobs here, that's all. We keep our homes clean, we offer wikis to play in, we offer clubs whose purpose is to keep the fantasy in Elftown and we set the example and that is OUR job to do so. We're a part of elftown. The part that we are works even if the rest doesn't, even if the rest is filthy and corrupted and doesn't care (more)

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: Just like in the books we are the Watch, the minority, the misfits, the outcasts. And crime doesn't happen on our beat. We can't wipe it out, we probably never will be able to...but we are the Watch those folks that actually care about Elftown and what it stands for. I'm in this town and I'll be damned if I'm just going to turn around and leave it. Then I'm admitting to those art theives and cyberers and rule-breakers and stupid people who are only using this place as an all-you-can-eat pervert's buffet...I'm telling them they've won...they've drove me out of my own haven. I think change comes from the inside and I think it comes slowly. And I think those of us that care about Elftown (more)

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: are the foundation, we're what holds it up. So I'm standing here. Everything outside of my house might be rotten...but my house won't be and even if it gets to the point where it's the only one so be it. Then there will be at least one home which hasn't fallen. But that's how I see it. I might even refine this and put it up in a wiki shoot I might even make a club called the City Watch with just such a goal in mind, not so much to gripe or go vigilante but for the purpose of just sitting stubbornly and holding on to what they've got. I just feel so incredibly strongly about this. I reckon it sounds silly and unrealistic but that's just how I feel. I'm mule-headed :)

2005-08-02 [Lothuriel]: I agree with you [Igorina] but, it is seeming more and more that the Head Cheese is one of those in line to the "all you can eat pervert's buffet"

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: yes but we can still try- and aimee you make good points- we could use this as our own club make a few changes and set it up- your friend should come and let's get this rolling again and if we have to rearrange the houses a bit here let us do it- but if we have to leave than so be it -

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: so who is still here and who is not- that way if we need to change things than we shall do so

2005-08-02 [Lothuriel]: o__0...Once again, words that sounded so right in my head went ary when typed...I did not mean that we should give up! I am still in if you want me. I love this place to much to let it go down without a fight. Hedda may own the hardware but without members....what is the point? Right?

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: plus i am thinking of ways to bring the fantasy back to elftown- and coming up with solutions to do so better rpg's, better graphics etc... which means maybe reworking some things here - open for solutions and suggestions

2005-08-02 [Lothuriel]: have you seen [Savien]'s new rp forum? I am a member and would be more than tickled to invite the two of you. My Dungeon Crawl has pretty much died for the moment but, I am hoping to change that this weekend. I have 3 contests up and running and am patrolling like crazy....*wipes brow* But I will never tire!!

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: no i am involved in too many rp's right now but i might go check it out- i think i am going to rework this a bit and bring in some more help

2005-08-02 [Lothuriel]: Well, this isn't a roleplaying game. It is a resource center for roleplaying games. NPC's, maps, advice...that sort of thing. No commitments if you are a member.

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: ohh i see - i'll have to check it out

2005-08-02 [Linn Scarlett]: *waves* ok I'm here *bows* Travs directed me here ^_^

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: welcome linn - any particular color you like and we will put you there

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: also i think we need to also to give the houses direction to go in

2005-08-02 [Linn Scarlett]: meh i want to be in your clan ^_^ don't know the others yet *blushes* weneedtoalso-wahttes you lost me in the last sentence O.o'

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: fair enough in my clan you shall be - you now belong to the steel hammer house- i will send you the password in a minute- aimee i also sent loreilly a mark with an invitation - if she says yes than we'll put her to work-

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: hey lothuriel do you accept the possition of your house? i am making changes want to know if i should put it up there:)

2005-08-02 [Linn Scarlett]: *nodds and hops off to make a page*

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: ok order of business- there is still much to do and filling our ranks is important- please look over the pledge list add names and discuss who is up there- remember we are looking for those that do more than just lip service and will fight for the cause

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: hmmm...I think each house should have a speciality you know...what the members are good at. Mine I reckon would be writing, rping and such...and encouragement to the guild (the sunny yellow house...Fight the good fight, finish the course, keep the faith! )

2005-08-02 [Linn Scarlett]: *ponders over new members* well i dont know, most people i can only argument that they are either TEB members, alround good elftowners and none rule breakers, donors, patrollers or guards O.o

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: the steel hammer keeps darkarrow together - we will keep up with records etc and awards as well as work with the yellow house to keep things moving

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: i agree linn

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: woo-hah cause Trav and me are a force to be reckoned with when we work together :) would steel hammer be repair work, constructing pages and the like as well? Travis I definitely think you're house speciality should be art

2005-08-02 [Linn Scarlett]: indeed ^_^ you are such a wonderfull artist *envies you*

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: oh it is - but it does not mean all my clan is art- asyrth is a writer and he is my second

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: tme and practice - remember linn i am 34 now and i didn't not find my nitch in art until i was 30 -

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: hmmm...well each house should have something they shine at that works together to keep the guild going...how we should divvy that up is open for discussion. But I think it should be equal parts active reform and maintenance...keeping Elftown running well, building up what is important and weeding out what is killing it

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: speaking of asyrth aimes you seen him around lately?

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: more later must run back to work now...I'll be back on around 5:30ish eastern time

2005-08-02 [Igorina]: travis he's on a cruise he should be back by next week I think :)

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: i think your forgeting creating new places to go as well or helping fix them up- 

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: ok

2005-08-02 [Linn Scarlett]: well cant you devide the work over the clans? hmz maybe i should feel lucky ive been drawing every since i remember and iam 17 now, so i still got almost 20 years to get better than you :P

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: lol:) and yes dividing the work among the clans is something we want to do- we just need a series of checks to make sure the work is getting done

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: we now have 6 names on the pledge lists, please go and give your input

2005-08-02 [Linn Scarlett]: hm hwat?

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: lost me linn....

2005-08-02 [Linn Scarlett]: yes you me too

2005-08-02 [Lothuriel]: Sorry guys, due to some painful circumstances in my personal life, I doubt I will have the time to faithfully contribute to this wiki. I am not leaving Elftown or anything of that sort. I am merely cutting back on my involvment in official business for the time being. I will remove the symbol from my house if you wish. Again, I am sorry but I can't handle the added stress.

2005-08-02 [Lothuriel]: And don't worry, you can trust me to keep quiet. I won't spill the beans about the organization.

2005-08-02 [Linn Scarlett]: *huggles* its ok loth, we still love you

2005-08-02 [travs the bean]: understand loth- we'll keep you in erins house though- if you choose to come back we'll still use you

2005-08-02 [Lothuriel]: Thanks Linn. =0}

2005-08-02 [Linn Scarlett]: welcome *huggs*

2005-08-03 [Ariandra]: "Hello, I am [Ariandra] and I have been sent by [TheRogue]. I am a decent writer, and I am totally dedicated to washing the streets of Elftown free of the filth that is piling up.

2005-08-03 [Linn Scarlett]: yeeey *feels like robin hood* welcome :D *huggs*

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: Thank you so much for your understanding, everyone.

2005-08-03 [TheRogue]: once a darkarrow always a darkarrow....*hugs loth*

2005-08-03 [TheRogue]: and keep the symbol. ^.~

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: welcome ariandra, you write what else do you and can you do in elftown my friend?

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: since you are a guard - we might want to put you in the black arrow house - which you can help rogue

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: Thanks, guys...Nice to see you back [TheRogue]

2005-08-03 [TheRogue]: well, can't say it's TOTALLY nice to be back given the circumstances, but I'm here.. it took some talking with [Lerune] to get me to decide to give ET a chance.. but we already know how things are going...

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: I know. This place just don't hold any frill for me now. It is like breaking up with a friend after an intense relationship....

2005-08-03 [TheRogue]: yup.. tell me about it.

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: well marc- ariandra is in your house- i think you guys are the enforcers:)

2005-08-03 [TheRogue]: hehe.. WERE the enforcers.. I'm not a guard anymore. :(

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: yeah but your 2nd is

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: ok back to the pledges any other thoughts

2005-08-03 [Linn Scarlett]: so what do we do now?

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: sing songs :) actually i want to spruce up the place up - add some more rewards and set up some good procedures for hunting offenders, creating new wikis that are devoted to good rp- and figure out some very constructive ways to bring the fantasy back

2005-08-03 [TheRogue]: Deleted.

2005-08-03 [TheRogue]: Deleted.

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: It is a good thing someone found her. I am beginning to think Hedda is completely heartless. Did you know that I am trying to turn Elftown into a "haven for moralists?" LOL...he needs a serious reality check.

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: Don't worry Marc. You secret is safe with me. How is it possible that someone could have read a personal diary entry of mine and why would they have done such a thing?

2005-08-03 [TheRogue]: right.. and Elftown is a community for artists and writers.. anything that falls outside of that is 'not his problem' including but not limited to: Moral Judgement, Parenting skills, or counciling of any kind to children who visit his site.

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: I am highly pissed off right now. More thatn pissed.

2005-08-03 [TheRogue]: I think I'll make a banner that says "PROUD TO BE A MORALIST"

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: Did you read his response to my suggestion? He was even nice enough to make a wiki for me called i don't give a shit....asshole. 

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: Or rather...proud to have morals...He is basically saying he has none.

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: what is in our house stays here- that's why we need to make sure about those we let in here we can trust

2005-08-03 [Linn Scarlett]: *bows to Erin* i'd knight her if i had the power ^_^ *group hugg* hey i just thought of something, maybe the Black Arrow could become a 'communitie within a communitie" ? like, making wiki pages and all. and post those on your Arrow Member house, much like a tiny elftown within elftown? (does any of you get my drift? X_X)

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: that my dear was the original thought- act as a hidden community which we sort of are

2005-08-03 [Linn Scarlett]: *smacks forhead* ok it just sipped in -blame the headache >_< so yeah that would be really nice if we can get a hold on all -true elftowners- so to say

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: yeah ones that wouldn't freak out over our secret society- which should and will always be invitation only

2005-08-03 [Linn Scarlett]: exactly as it should be! bah! *knows some serious rpgers and artists for that matter* hmmm i feel like one of the Sherwood people! Who's our Robin Hood? :P

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: we need someone or two someone to moderate the pledges, list what they do be searching the houses and wikis they operate in- It will be those two that offer the invitation to join and indoctrinate- they should as well as house leaders put what house they would best fit if accepted and get them indoctrinated- we also need a council room for the house heads- to discuss how we would go about things

2005-08-03 [Linn Scarlett]: hmzz good point, well, i'd love to help ^_^ *stands patiently waiting to be hand out a leaflet with her task on it*

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: linn if you would like the position is yours i'll help - and everyone is allowed to comment on it

2005-08-03 [Linn Scarlett]: ok i'll try my best ^_^

2005-08-03 [Linn Scarlett]: id really like a counterpart, cause i also have to judge some of my friends like yur, zep or melc

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: the heads of each house act as that as well:) but we will find you one as well preferable a guard

2005-08-03 [Linn Scarlett]: thanks would appreciate that. i know the rules and such and sure i can be opinionless, but they are still my friends ^_^ but anyhow, ill just hop into their houses and pin point some stuff that i can find ^_^

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: Hey guys I know I said I was going away but should we have such open conversations anywhere in Elftown? Nothing is sacred as long as it is on this server. Has anyone thought of a Yahoo group or something similar to communicate really serious problems?

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: we are using the rogues yahoo group right now- plus most people know we don't exsist i trust everyone keeps to their word- if not we move- and resettle- this at least gives us organization

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: i would agree though that deleting what rogue has said might be wise - if we want status to remain though

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: and i really like what linn said and make this wiki and elftown within the town and let you use your darkarrow character for your own use- graphic wise etc....

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: I know recently either my messages or my personal diary entry was read and something was spouted around. Something deeply personal...I don't like it and I dont' trust this place.

2005-08-03 [Lothuriel]: This place meaning Elftown...not this wiki

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: messages are open game here- any guard can read them- i would never use the diary but there are so many wiki's that they are hard to track - i agree trust is wanning so for now very personal info i would advise to put it elsewhere

2005-08-03 [Linn Scarlett]: they cant possibly track us down without a hint. pah not even aragorn could ^_^
