07-Feb-2001 - We have moved to Tripod!  I was running out of web space (Geo=15MB, Tripod=50MB) here and Tripod provides much more.  Wake up Geocities!  Go here < http://members.tripod.com/clannorthwest/ > for the new location!

 

02-Feb-2001 - Updated the Guestbook on 30-Jan-2001, be sure to check it out and sign it...Thanks!  I haven't been online playing much this week, but will be once a co-worker starts playing this weekend...I'm going to get him on the fast track and setup with good stuff. I'm going to see how fast I can get him leveled...it will be a fun challenge!  I would have updated this page sooner, but Geocities changed the freaking URL path on people like myself that use FrontPage 2000 to create/update their web sites!  Grr!    See his URL if you have the same problem: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/geo/frontpage/frontpage-18.html

 

26-Jan-2001 - Updated the screenshots section with more photos from my recent Virindi Amulet (Chakron) Quest.  Logan, thanks for sending me these screenshots!  I have started playing Ultima Online and my cousin is hooking me up there (very cool of him)! It shouldn't interfere with my AC playing time to much, since he is on Texas time...I will probably just be getting on AC a little later than normal. Here are my cousin's UO websites (his girlfriend is the webmaster). < http://www.geocities.com/btdguild/ > < http://www.geocities.com/than_n_titania/ >

23-Jan-2001 - Last night I got a high quality ingot via Peace-Keeper.  I recently bought an ingot from him via eBay (only $20).  That was cool of him to take my 2 bars in trade for another already made ingot.  I now have 4 peerless Atlan Claws!    Thanks goes out to Kenji for supplying me with my last mote for my 4th Claw, and giving me a ride to the crater a few nights ago & then supplying buffs for my 3rd Claw!  While messing with my major stones recently I broke the major frost stone, and last night (after getting my 4th Claw) I talked HD, Daed, Mith, Anilok and Moody into going for that stone again.  It was pretty easy, so now all my Claws have 1 of the 4 major stones.    I just had to get that stone again once I got the 4th Claw!  HeHe!  I guess that is it for now!  Thanks again to all the folks that helped me get the stones and claws (past and present)! Oh yeah!  Thanks Mith for the Virindi Mask!  It makes Angus happy!

 

22-Jan-2001 - Thogg is born!  Click here for the Thogg page. I have a new vassal named: Fistina  He is an old gaming friend from my Mechcommander playing days.  He has other players on other servers.  Hopefully he will stick around unlike 5 out of 6 of my other vassals.    TTFN

21-Jan-2001 - The Virindi Amulet Quest was successful last night!  I will add my screenshots from that event soon...go to the North-Star message board to see those photos till then.  Thanks to this post on the AC Vault Frostfell message board we had a ton of people go < http://vnboards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=8652212 >  However, most of them were low level folks and we needed more high level people.  Regardless it was fun, successful and I got my amulet!  Added a ton of new screenshots, including shots from the Virindi Amulet Quest last night!

 

	19-Jan-2001 - Interesting bug discovered in game last night.  You could get 15,001 platinum scarabs for 1 pyreal...haven't checked yet to see if the servers were rolled back, if not there is a lot of rich people running around in game now!  I tried getting rich quick, but couldn't do it due to burden constraints.  Mithrandur was successful and is my bank now...HeHe!  I'll be online tonight to see what the AC folks did to address this bug. I added a Paypal link to the left sidebar.  Paypal is the primary auction payment method used at eBay for AC auctions and much more.  PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!
	16-Jan-2001 - Not much in the way of playing time to report for me, other than Logan got his new character Thogg to Ayan Baqur last night with the help of Mithrandur & Moody.  Logan says, "I created a new character and stationed him in Ayan last night (with the help of Mith and Moody; Thanks, guys!). Thogg is a bit dull in the intelligence dept. and doesn't know how to turn the caps lock off, but hey, he's family. Anyways, if you happen to see him in the Ayan area (just look for the red dot surrounded by lots of corpses), say hello. Just don't encourage him!" I also updated the FAQ page with stuff from my previous/old CNW website at: http://www.clannorthwest.homepage.com/main.html  I happened across it today, which is kind of cool and gives you a taste of what things used to look like with good ole' CNW.  I also found this cool .gif, which I will use as my call sign when Mechcommander 2 is released and I join one of Starlance MC2 units.  Lastly, the old CNW website also allowed me to recover lost RL pics of CNW from our Q3A Bus tour trip! Oh yeah, I'm trying to schedule/organize a Virindi Amulet Quest!
	15-Jan-2001 - Well, this weekend was fun and we (Dark Ryath, Moody, Mithrandur and I) did some hunting in the Obsidian Plains' BSD and out in the Obsidian Plains near the BSD portal.  We got smacked around but did our share of smacking as well!    I crit hit a Tusker Guard for 175 points with my greater fire arrows and got my first Umbris Shadow kills.  Hopefully we will hook up out there again soon...BTW, thanks again Moody for that sweet 113% BDV Bow...it's sooooo nice!    Lastly, Game Voice works great...we were all using GV while playing...hurry up North-Star and get your GV.  That's it for now.

 

12-Jan-2001 - It took me about 2 hours last night to do all the necessary alchemy & fletching for greater fire arrows, but the end result was AWESOME and now have a nice reserve of oils for future use!  I was putting a serious hurtin on those baddies out in the Obsidian Plains!  Putting a greater fire arrow in the foot of Tusker really does some damage!  As you can probably tell I was happy with the overall outcome and look forward to kicking some more butt soon.  I still say getting fletching was well worth it!  Added MD (Macro) Tool, Macro Info (Cam's Message Board) & Macro FAQ to sidebar under AC downloads & info.  MD tool is a macro tool and Cam's Message Board is the place to go for macro information.  I'm not sure how to use MD tool yet, but thought it would useful information.  I need to crank up my macro program again.  Joined the Victoria The Spirited Allegiance message board today.

 

	11-Jan-2001 - I added a link to Maggie the Jackcat's Fabulous AC Guide to the sidebar!  It is a great website for patch news and much more.  I'm surprised I didn't add it a long time ago!  Also, I added a link to AC Monster...found it in my search to figure out what attack methods work best against certain monsters in the land of Dereth.  Created a new page called "Top 5 AC Websites"! The adventures of Angus continue...I got an Idol gem off my first Idol kill 2 nights ago (patch day)...lucky me!  However, I was stupid and traded it away for only 4 motes...Doh!  Last night Mith and I played around in the Obsidian Plains and I got spanked there at least 3 times...Ouch!  Going to return the favor soon with greater elemental arrows!  Lastly, Mithrandur is officially my new patron/monarch.
	09-Jan-2001 - Well, things have got more interesting within the monarchy over the holidays.  The North-Star monarchy has disbanded and splintered into various smaller monarchies and they might come back together in the future.  Go here for the new splinter MSN message boards: 1. http://communities.msn.com/BaishiFamily/  (temporary) 2. http://communities.msn.com/VictoriaTheSpiritedAllegiance/ I remain a member of the North-Star board and so far joined the Baishi Family board, so we shall see what happens with these recent chain of events.  I don't know what's going to happen with things and this point.   However, it looks like the North-Star message board will remain the primary message board. I got a new PIII CPU for my gaming rig and now rocking at 933MHz and also playing my new driving games more, so my AC playing time will probably decrease.  I got EA Sports F1 Championship Season 2000 over the weekend and it is awesome!  Even better than NASCAR Heat. BTW, I updated all our Bio pages...mainly with news of all our recent computer upgrades...Mith's new P4 rig is sweet and mine isn't to shabby now either.  Oh, and Logan got my old P3 533MHz CPU and is finally in the P3 age.  Lastly, Koichi will no longer be my patron starting tonight (if I can find Kenji)...Mithrandur will replace him. eBay link added to sidebar for the buying and/or selling of AC items!
	19-Dec-2000 - I have updated all our Bio pages with more data like specialized and trained skills, along with what is the highest level learned per school of magic.  It is a little incomplete at this time due lack of input from busy Logan and Mith.   I have been pretty tired lately and have not been online the past 2 nights, but plan on being online tonight.   This might be my last post before Christmas, so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
	18-Dec-2000 - I'm level 42 now!  It took me about 1 month to get level 41 and about 1 week to get level 42.  As you can see I have been playing a good bit more lately.    I will be away from AC while visiting family for the holidays (Dec. 24th to Jan. 3rd.), so I need to get some playing time in now. I picked up a new vassal named Farnan and got him from level 1 to level 7 in about 2 hours a couple of nights ago.  He is an archer like me! I got the macro thing going on Angus and it's working good but expensive!  Go here for more info on macro'ing: http://www.cameroncole.net/ac.html   Lastly, I was going to wait and take healing at level 50, but decided to go ahead and take fletching instead.  I can now make my own arrows on the fly!  I have life magic, so not having healing is no big deal...besides I can just buy/use some health potions to do the same thing or ask my buddy Mith to heal me...HeHe!    BTW, I was able to raise by fletching skill from 103 to 192 with just 460k of Exp and can buff it to 250+ with the new level V critter buffs I learned recently!

	12-Dec-2000 - Well, things are finally getting back to normal in our monarchy...I think we can all agree the changes are for the best and happy to see things calm down.  May that monster R.I.P.! BTW, the 3 of us use the Microsoft Sidewinder Game Voice!  It can be bought for less than $49.99 at the buy.com computer store .  You can also download the free game share version at the Game Voice website and use it with your current headset/microphone like Roger Wilco.  It works very well and has very nice features for team chat during online games and voice commands!  It's worth it! Well, I cast my first Creature V spell yesterday while trying to help a low level person in the scribe shop do some cooking...it was Cooking Mastery V.  I can get my Creature magic skill buffed to 203 with level IV buffs.  I'm also level 41 now and I updated all our bio pages a little.
	08-Dec-2000 - Well, there has been some major changes in our monarchy the past 2 days, but for the better IMHO!  eGroups is now gone and moved to MSN web communities at North-Star Allegiance.  Also, Amul has started on a new awesome looking website at Clan North-Star.  I'm glad we are still part of the North-Star monarchy and we can move on to bigger and better things! PLEASE NOTE:  With the above statement said, I want the record to show (not that anybody has accused me of anything yet) it was not my intention to cause this major shake up in our monarchy but to voice my opinion that recent actions by the moderator(s) on eGroups were wrong i.e. action taken against Mithrandur/s.  I will defend anybody (especially friends) that I feel have been wronged in one way or another.  Granted I may have been wrong as well depending on your point of view.  Therefore, I'm truly sorry if anybody was hurt by it, especially Cattie/Toniie!  I hope we can all forgive and forget accordingly.  Take care and happy holidays folks! Lastly, I added some screenshots of Mithrandur fighting a Diamond Golem.  He gets hit for 141 points in one shot...Ouch!  Also, I fixed and/or added links to correspond to the latest monarchy events/changes.
	06-Dec-2000 - Finally got Logan's Bio page updated today.  Correction to previous posts -  new pages are as follows: FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), Guestbook not Feedback, No Table of Contents (could not get it to work correctly) and Search page. Well, I kissed the Ayan lifestone 3 times last night farting around (by myself) just outside the new subway portal on the new island(s).  I'm about 248k away from Level 41.  I crit hit a Cursed Wisp (Level 75) for 178 points with my 110% composite bow and greater frog crotch arrow...will have screenshot posted soon.  The Angus buster last night was one of those new Level 75 red zefirs...it throw me for a loop twice...Doh!
	04-Dec-2000 - Updated Mith's Bio page today and mine a little.  Logan's Bio page is still under construction.

         

30-Nov-2000 - I'm Getting things looking even better by adding these pages: (see sidebar left) FAQ, Feedback, Search and Table of Contents.  Also, I added more RL pics of CNW at a recent Counterstrike LAN party and Logan's Bio page is up again but not up to date. There will probably be more updates than normal the next 2 weeks, since I have some free time during the day. That's it for now!  Yo Logan & Mith send me some Bio updates and/or screenshots!

29-Nov-2000 - I'm still trying/waiting to get Logan's Bio page up and running again, and waiting for more screenshots from Logan and Mith.  Not much news to report.  We have been having fun on the new islands and Mith is still playing Mithrandus a lot and has her to Level 45+ now.  I got a new Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel today for my new game NASCAR Heat, so I might be even more scarce on AC.  This is the first game I have bought since AC and it will feed my need for speed and new found NASCAR interest.  I will still be playing AC and updating this website.  I guess that is about it for now.  Happy Hunting/Holidays till the next post. I also will be creating a new intro page to this website, so folks know what we are all about.

      

15-Nov-2000 - Well, I'm still trying to get things fixed up here.  My Bio page is updated.  The screenshots page has been updated as well!  My patron Koichi/Kotetsu has called it quits with AC.  Farewell my friend! Okay, things look good here now and the only thing really left to do is getting Logan's Bio page up again.

02-Nov-2000 - I hope to get this website all fixed up soon.  Me, Mith and Logan all got the Microsoft Sidewinder Game Voice this week and it works well.  It's easy to use and worth the money.  BTW, I'm almost Lvl 40.  Happy Hunting!

25-Sept-2000 - Well, I'm finally getting this website back up to date.� My family website has been taken all of my web development time as of late.� Not to mention the addition of my son to our every day family life.� Any ways, we are all well above our last reported levels with our AC characters.� I'm currently Lvl 38, Mithrandur is Lvl 62 (who do you think plays more here?...HeHe) and Logan is Lvl 40 (i think).� I need to get our personal gaming pages fixed and updated.� Not to mention other pages located in this website.� This frames layout is what I was going to use for a monarchy website, but decided not to do it but use it here.� Didn't want my time figuring out frames to go to waste.� I think it works well here and plan to implement it into my personal family website.� Well, I'm going to try and update the screenshots page now and get some new pics in there.� I hope you enjoy the new layout and content!� Thanks in advance!
