PoC News & Events (contains Pictures)

I know some of you may not care what our guild is up to but I am all for sharing and hearing what is going on around the shard and hope that some other guilds will post stuff as well. And maybe get some interest not only in my guild but others as well as well as just increase community feeling - If this thread is not for you please just respectfully leave.

Recent events have been A Reggatta, Scavenger Hunt, as well as many random hunts and get togethers. The event we had today was the Fastest Taming Competition here is a recap with screen shots.

<center>PoC Fastest Taming Competition</center>

The smell of hay and animal sweat lingered in the air as the Pirates of Cove tamers competing in today’s fastest taming event landed at Sosarian Steeds near the town of Britan. There were also a few on lookers who waited with baited breath to see who had the fastest gift with animals.

Lionheart, Nakita, Eingil and Talon were primed and ready to get taming. The challenge was to see who could tame and release the most animals in half an hour glass, one animal at a time.

It didn’t matter what animals they tamed it only mattered that they brought them to the stables for counting and released them into the pen that was allocated to them.
The tamers were given a different coloured robes that matched different coloured pieces of cloth that was tied to the pen gate of pens.

The tricky part of the event seemed to be keeping the animals in the pen once they were released, a good chuckle was had by the members of the guild looking on as the tamers chased bulls, chickens and cats all over the stables.

Lionheart took the lead early on while poor Talon was very slow to get started rumour has it he got a little lost and marked over his rune to the stables with a taming location and then had to walk from East Britan with a wild unwilling cat behind him.

The sands fell through the glass grain by grain and the stables filled up and animals became more aggressive (pirates too) so there became a few casualties and the rule of keeping the animals in pens was dropped.

The end of the event brought some grand results Lionheart took out the event with 24 animals in half an hour glass and Nakita was not far behind and came in second with 19 animals. Eingil who was a young and enthusiastic tamer blossomed and came in third with 15 animals and poor Talon who seemed to be having the luck of a necromancer in a paddock of pixies came in at the rear with 6 animals.

The winners were presented with prizes the best and most treasured of which is a glorious set of Pegasus trophies in Gold Silver and Bronze for 1st 2nd and 3rd place marked with Fastest Tamer and stands to place them on. Congratulation to today’s winners a lot of fun was had by all who entered the event and by those who looked on and in some cases cheered on the tamers.

Again you all probably don't really care but I was proud and excited the other day when I happen to notice that it was PoC's 3rd Year Anniversary - August 4th 2004 we started as a guild and are still going strong.

Not to bad for a mix batch of rag a bond pirates *smiles* thanks to members past and present we have had some great times.

[Dain69]

Great event, lots of fun with smooth operation!

But mroe importantly, OMG I LOOK %^$%$ IN KR!

*Is embarrased*

The PoC Games Arena buzzed with activity as the gladiators prepared for battle, removing unwanted items that would only weigh them down and chalking hands to gain a better grip on the weapons that were scattered on the ground there was tension and anticipation in the air.

There were representatives from all house teams Gagoyles, Dragons Breath, Ice Serpents and Swoop Claw and there were a few spectators thrown in for atmosphere.

Van Helsing was the master of ceremonies and called each round to a beginning he checked over the gladiators making sure they were clear from illegal weapons and armor and told the fights to begin. At the end of each round he healed the wounded and began the next round.

Here is the final tournament draw there was one late scratching but other wise the event went smoothly and was filled with great courage and heart.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/saphirecameo/PoC/PHGCdrawfinal.jpg

Maggy was the Gladiator champion representing Swoop Claw she gave masterful fights and challenged every contender bravely. The little lass far out did any expectations and surprised all by her massive effort and her fantastic triumph over Eereon to win the Gladiator Tournament.

The Gladiator Champion was bestowed with a title of "Gladiator Champion" 10,000gp and Minax Armor from the museum of vesper. Here is the champion in her new piece.

Dimity
Eingil
Talon
Eagleann
Magical Trev

all took part with Selvage taking out 1st place, Magical Trevor taking out 2nd Place and Dimity taking out 3rd place. There were 11 animals in total and everyone taking part did extremely well it was a very close race.

Thank you to those who helped me keep count also, it was very helpful.

The list of animals tamed:

1 x Scorpion

1x Giant Beetle

1 x Slime

1 x Giant Spider

1 x Death Watch Beetle

1 x Walrus

1 x Sheep

1 x Rideable Llama

1 x Gorilla

1 x Bull Frog

1 x Mountain Goat

Given how well the event went and how much fun was had by all we are going to do our best to organize a shard sized one so that everyone can take part in the fun. With harder animals and better prizes so keep an eye out for that one it should be loads of fun.

Aurora one of the PoC event leaders hosted the best event today - she used the old em's fitness track in malas. It was challenging and so fun.

Pirate's Peril - The Gauntlet

Are you a champion? Are you willing to brave the unknown and fight your way through obstacles in order to win? Well, PROVE IT!

Date:
Sunday 28th October
(please note date change)

Time:
10:30am AEST (Sydney time)

Location:
Meet at Guild House

Prizes:

1st: Champions Trophy (10th Anniversary Sculpture) + 100k
2nd: 100k Gold
3rd: 50k Gold




First Prize: Trophy and 100k Gold


Where is it?
The location is secret so come to the guildhouse and I'll lead you to your doom... I mean, to the gauntlet.

There will be blood!
Some parts of the gauntlet will require only your problem-solving ability and steady nerves. In others, however, you will need to be ready to fight! Wear decent armour and bring your weapon/s of choice, be they steel, bow or spellbook.

Tamers please read:
Unfortunately pets cannot enter the gauntlet, so you will have to rely on your magery (or bring a different character)!

The goal:
Be the first to stand on the winners platform (I will point it out to you when we arrive at the gauntlet) to take home the trophy! Second and third will naturally follow!


IMPORTANT NOTES...
• We will be leaving the Guild hall at 10:30am ON THE DOT, so if you are late you may be at a disadvantage. If you can't be there at 10:30am, there will be a rune locked down (on the step of the guild hall if Amathist allows).
• I strongly recommend you bring as little as possible with you to the gauntlet, as it may be tricky to get back to your body if you die. Insure your armour/weapons and don't bring anything else you can't afford to lose!
• I will have a healthy supply of bandages and bags of reagents to give you, should you die and need help getting back on your feet.
• If you do die, you will be resurrected and be able to re-enter from the start of the gauntlet and re-join the contest.
• Those who don't wish to enter may come to watch the contestants.


GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Well, the scores have been tallied, and the results are in. The winner of the 2007 Halloween Alliance Decor Contest is...



Mara


Congratulations, Mara, on your fine decor efforts! Here were everyone's total scores:


Mara: 54/60
Amathist: 43/60
Anne Bonney: 39/60
Wench: 39/60
Opella: 35/60


These "scores" are rather misleading due to the scoring system used. Decor was rated with scores 1-5 in Creativity, Effort, Relevance and Overall Impact, and the numbers were tallied. Also Opella hadn't had a chance to do much, so we rated her on minimal decor (which still received an impressive score considering!). All the places we looked at really looked fantastic! Here are some screenshots:

From that I gather the format/concept was directly copied from Thunderdome?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know I have never been to a Thunderdome event, I actually came up with that event after watching Troy with my dad and then talking to hubby about Gladiator which I have never seen and he said I should.

So I just figured some naked guys fighting in a pit and scattering the weapons was a good idea kinda mad maxish and I also took inspiration from a charmed episode where Leo is locked in a pit and Valkeries make him fight other warriors.

I dont know 100% where the idea came from or what totally inspired it but thats how my brain worked at the time. It is possible I read about a thunderdome event at some time and the idea was placed in there some how. Either way it was a great event and ThunderDome should host a shard wide one.

[THUNDERDOME]

Post deleted by THUNDERDOME

Leave me outta this! my gladiator idea was one like the TV series with the obsticle courses and the lame names!!.

Thunderdome person, no offence but whats your caper? this is a GUILD event NOT a shard one, an no ones stepping on your toes. Unless your thousands of years old, the roman type gladiator stuff isnt your copyright.
Personally i think everyone should take a leaf out of PoC's book. This guild is the most active i have ever seen and everyone i have come across have been polite considerate and friendly.

[Cymoril]

I have to say, having recently joined a character up to PoC that it is the most active and fun guild of its size I have ever seen! It's normal to log on and find 8-10 members online, which is great, and the number of events, contests and so on just makes for such a great time. I encourage anyone else who enjoys player-run events, friendships with active players and light-hearted fun (with no politics) to join PoC.

And don't be put off by the pirate thing (like I was, hehe). You don't need to be a pirate at all - I mean this is the most considerate group of "pirates" I have ever seen. If you embrace the belief of fun without politics or strict rules, and if you enjoy a friendly atmosphere and community, then you are very well-suited for PoC!

<blockquote><hr>

Our gladiator tourney is based on a film, for goodness sake. A small group of people worked hard on developing &amp; testing the format we came up with, adapting the concept to UO. It's a little discouraging to see the exact same format being used elsewhere, that's all. Poaching ideas from Napa or elsewhere is one thing, copying them from within the community you're hoping to build is another.



[/ QUOTE ]

Basically I am under attack as I see it because you can not understand that someone either had a similar idea or the same idea, I even explained to you the thought proccess that went behind our event. So by the last comment your basically calling me a liar and claiming I poached your idea which I did not.

PoC have had many tournaments of varying nature we have had naked battles before with your own weapons we have had fully dressed tournaments and we had a gladiator style event where house teams competed against each other nakid and there were weapons, regs, bandies and potions dropped around our arena in varying numbers and the house teams competed to have the GUILD GALDIATOR CHAMPION.

As you will also notice with any idea I take like the ones from NAPA I give credit where credit is due so I basically find your little attack on me insulting and an effort to derail my thread or the efforts of my guild and myself to build community.

[THUNDERDOME]

Post deleted by THUNDERDOME

NO dude whoa hold up!!
WTF?
How the hell would you know exactly what they did and if they copied YOUR exact things that you apparently so pain stakingly figured out? there was NO pictures posted, no indepth descriptions of what happened.
You had a small group of people working it out they way YOU had it for YOUR event.
Ammy had an even smaller group of people for HER event for HER guild. So how are you to know what happened when i think that the only thing similar is the word gladiator. for all you know every single activity was different to what yours was.
Unless you were there.
You need to appologise i think for this.
If you were there then you need booting out the guild.

Its also easier to close your mouth then remove your foot from it

Relax, please. This really doesn't involve you anyway.

The details were pretty clearly posted earlier in this thread, which has obviously skewed far from its original intent. My apologies to PoC for derailing. I stand by what I've said, but I'll say no more.

[/ QUOTE ]

So are you now trying to say I edited the original post? Thats an all out lie if you are, I have not touched it. As for you standing by what you have said you can feel free to do so but do not be suprised to be standing alone.

I also stand by what I have to said and done and have the history and the paper work (I keep a note book of event ideas) I also have anyone in PoC to back me up BUT most of all I have the truth and not some miss construde attempt at it to suit my own ego or false claim on an idea.

As for it not involving Katlene or Cymoril it does very much involve them you are derailing there guild news and events thread both ladies have members in my guild. Also not to mention attacking there guild leader.

Please do stick to the I will say no more comment its the only part of your post I agree with.

There's more to quote back there but I really don't care anymore. I'd have given you our blessing if you'd thought to come and ask, as we weren't in a position to host the tourney ourselves. *shrug* To me, community means working together.


[/ QUOTE ]

I don't see how you quoting my WRITE UP which was essentially telling the news of the event in a story format AFTER THE EVENT has anything to do with you claiming we stole your event idea.

I HAVE NOTHING TO ASK YOUR BLESSING FOR A GUILD EVENT AND DONT GIVE A FIG IF YOU GIVE ME PERMISSION TO HAVE A SIMILAR IDEA TO YOU. And if I had of thought I was stealing your copy righted idea I would have asked but as I was not even aware of how your events where run or ever attended one of yours, to my knowlege this idea was a combination of mine and other poc members for the benifit of OUR GUILD.

Not to mention this event was held back in AUGUST why are you so protective NOW?

What you also do not realize is I was not the only one to control how this event went it was actually changed about 4 times by various different people all documented in posts on the poc forums before it went a head do you think so much work woul have been put into making an event run right and fair if we just stole the idea???? GET A GRIP.

Please just move on get over it an realize you have no claim on a poc event idea that just happened to be similar to yours.........because we so know that just never happens dont we *SARCASIM*

Lol "trammy" forum pvp. Guy guys guys....... Theres a thread for this kind of stuff at the top http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nope not to me at all but what I did not like or agree to was basically being called a liar or a thief which ever if not both titles describes how Thunderdome is implying I have acted.

I post the poc news and events here hoping people will see them and be inspired and that we get some community action on oceania heck I would love more guilds to post up about there guild events and what is going on within there guild.

But I do not like being accused of something I simply did not do or it being implied I acted in an unfit mannor towards thunderdome.

he was having such a bad day that day - wrong runes, no regs or tithing cant remember which, had to walk for miles, couldnt remember where animals where, and I believe had a few client crashes as he was trying KR for the first time.

A Captain's Consternation:
Guessing Competition

It was a delightful spring afternoon when Amathist decided to go to Magincia and help fight off the daemon invasion. Alas, poor Amathist REALLY had a tough time of it as she was beset upon my many nasties on the docks. She saw more grey than a colourblind dog locked in a small safe... with an elephant.


<center>http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e338/neovannah/PoC/amathistcorpses.jpg</center>


This contest will run for three days and the rules are very simple.

• Guess (or count, if you can) how many corpses of your favourite Pirate Captain there are scattered on Magincia Docks.
• Post your number answer in reply to this thread.
• ONE GUESS per member on the forum.
• The closest (or first closest) by Midnight Saturday 10th November (AEST) will win!
• 100k for first closest guess or double if winner gets the EXACT number.

I'll also give a bonus 50k to anyone else who posts the xact number but wasn't first to do so.

Good luck!

no Amathists were actually harmed in the creation of this pic. Although a little girl on test shard did take quite a beating *grins*

Maybe Aurora will host a shard one for us. Maybe she could hide a stratics reporter some where in a picture and we could play where is Cymoril or where is Katlene or something.

Make a guild forum then and don't use stratics to host 'private' events please then.

[imported_Frost_]

Or you could read the post properly....

As it does say in there that its a PoC &amp; Alliance competition.

Also as this thread is the PoC News &amp; Events thread... perhaps if your not interested in what PoC is doing you could umm.... not read it.

<font color="blue">2) We have also done a few Illishnar Champ Spawns and Peerless hunts as a guild and they have been great fun.</font>

<font color="red">3) and we have also been taking part in the Olympics where our medal count is fairly high but Lady Kat and Petrify are still on the top but Queen Aglarana is working on gaining more medals so maybe she will knock one of them off the top. </font>

<font color="green"> 4) We have guilded some more new members since Christmas so the guild is still growing and we are still having fun.</font>


Coming up we have some more guild events in the works including a recruitment drive and a one or two shard events. But mostly our shard events will be working with our allies OPEN.

PoC's Giant Gemstone Gather

Thats right me hearties we be gathering gemstones. At the arena the mats for ye house team have been placed and some base gemstones will be locked down. To these base gemstones is where you add the gems you collect.

House teams will have 1 week to gather as many gemstones as they can, but this event has an agenda, once the event is ended yes a house team will be crowned a winner and a prize will be given BUT the gemstones collected by all house teams will be sold and the gold raised will be used to buy two very special thank you presents for two of our high council members Sir Seth Cromwell and Anne Bonny.

These two guild members have just done so very much for the guild I think its about time we banned together and say thank you. So once the gemstones are sold I will purchase a present for them from the zoo or the museum something they can treasure always.

The Rules Are Simple

1) all gemstones must be collected from monster loot they can not be brought, given from a stash at your house or in your bank box they must be collected during the contest.

2) only add gemstones to your house teams pile.

3) Only Gather the 9 Gemstones
Amber,Citrine, Ruby, Tourmaline, Amathyst, Emerald, Sapphire, Star Sapphire and Diamond

4) have fun see if your house team can gather the most and win out over all.

Your gonna ban them and say thank you? Geez, that's harsh.

This entire thread/this event specifically is just another "POC is so great heres all the stuff we do:". What's your excuse for not putting this in your guild forums? It's 100% only for your guild and from what I've heard your quite the tyrant when it comes to "EVERYONE MUST USE THE GUILD FORUM" (6 people and counting have told me this), why don't you just post it there? Their is absolutely no reason whatsoever you could have to post it here other than guild advertisement.

Queue the vendetta comment. Oh by the way, keep looking over your shoulder Amathist it won't be long before you see a video of a hell of a lotta POC dead.

Just please tell me what the title of the thread says Pet? Just to make sure you can actually read. If you do not wish to know what is going on in PoC don't read it. But give your recent thread about [1] I can actually say your a hypocrite but that is no surprise either is it. Your just childish plain and simple.

You don't like us we get that but you know what we don't really care and we can assure you there is no love lost on our behalf either your not exactly on our top 10 favourite oceanians.

As for the watching over my shoulder, I really could care less pet you may get in you may kill us but you will be removed and we will move on...its really that simple the likes of you is really nothing to fear and as my guild care about each other I wont need to watch over my shoulder because I have enough members guarding my back and willing to stand by me and by the guild.

Now please keep your pettiness out of this thread, this thread is for new oceanian's to see what our guild is doing, our allies , guild members and people who just like to look for idea's for there own guilds and anyone who may just be curious as to what all the poc people are doing. Not for your spite and vengeance.

and as you are not a moderator do not tell me what I can post where and when.

[Queen Aglaranna]

Just like Ama said, Thanks heaps for the continius bumping of our thread Pet http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/laugh.gif maybe you don't realise that you are doing us a favour http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Ah Pettles, my dear child......what would we do without you?.......if it wasn't for your constant prattling on and making a fool of yourself our days would be sooo very dull. Thanks for the entertainment mate http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Nice to see activity from all three main guilds on Oceania it is healthy competitoin with the winners the public now maybe the [1] guild can attempt to match this as they say put up or shut up

<font color="red"> The Great Pirate Drinkathon 2008.............. </font>

As some of you know OPK and [1] in a state of boredom or vengeance or both took it upon themselves to decorate The Pirates of Cove guild hall. With many many many water barrels, all full. They also felt the need to leave us a little warning message on the steps, in an attempt to intimidate us.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/saphirecameo/PoC/gh1.jpg
But after taking a few screen shots for the history books we customised and dumped the watter barrels under the house sign. However we did not want the unsightly mess to be left for Blossom the keeper of the guild hall so we all got to work emptying the barrels.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/saphirecameo/PoC/gh3.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/saphirecameo/PoC/EB1.jpg
But it wasn't long at all till this turned into an event all PoC came out to drink there share of water and then we had members of the community stop by to lend a hand or just to cheer us on. Thank you to members of KoV, and TLC for stopping by was nice to see you and thanks to those who lent a hand it was appreciated.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/saphirecameo/PoC/EB2.jpg

After what seemed like a million barrels and some pirate songs, some laughter and jokes we finally finished the task with a mighty cheer.

Being the community minded pirate I am I was sure to return some of the water to Draconious as I did not wish him to run out and with water restrictions on.... it could happen. *smiles*
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/saphirecameo/PoC/returningwater.jpg

So thank you OPK and [1] we had a grand time this evening, proving that no matter what you try and do to us you can't bring us down as I am so very sure your own guild could not stand there for hours emptying barrels and actually come away laughing and saying they had fun....or in fact that so many of your guild would jump in and lend a hand if it was your guild hall under attack.

<font color="red"> THANK YOU POC FOR BEING TRULY A WONDERFUL GUILD I AM HONOURED TO KNOW YOU ALL AND TO BE YOUR GUILD LEADER AND FRIEND.</font>

You have got it all wrong! We did this to provide this exact event, amathist has thanked me for the time I spent to set this up!

And to all that participated I hope you had a good time!

I feel warm and fuzzy inside!

*chuckles* Oh that's hilarious!

I would totally freak out if I got to my house and that had happened to me =D

It was [1] that put them down? (I though OPK was disbanded, how could it be them?) Hee hee, silly nuisance idea, but funny!

Some runes where even dropped by guild members to really get the spirit of the event going.

It was an attempt by Petrify and [1] to seriously annoy us....They even kept coming by and saying things like "Ama will be really pissed" and kept coming back all day to try and taunt us and to see if more people had discovered the barrels.

POC turned it into fun and games. And an event and had a great time doing so. We all banned together had a laugh and a joke and made some new friends.

[SORO MANY SPAWNA]

I PLANNED THE EVENT, I SETUP THE EVENT ! NO WORRIES GUYS IT IS MY PLEASURE, ALL WENT TO PLAN!

LOL your intent was not for an event come on be honest? it wont hurt I promise.

Your intent was to annoy and inconveniance PoC and myself that is why you kept coming back to check your handy work and to make comments like "ama will be pissed". Your claim at it now being your plan for us to turn it into an event is simply because your original one did not work.

[SORO MANY SPAWNA]

Well I am not sure how they got the barrels or what they used to do it all, Petrify did say some place it only took them 10min to do it all, yet seemed to imply it would take us hours to move them so I just do not know.

BUT the fact that we turned a negative into a positive and had a great time doing so and made some more friends in the community just makes me even more proud of poc and every single member.

Thank you again everyone who chipped in to move the barrels.

Dam I cant get that song outta my head now


"Roll out the Barrel"


You Pirates are gonna pay!!!
http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

You will have to teach me that one for the next barrel event, I was having fun making up pirate songs but mine went along the lines of


"There was a pirate who drank and drank
he drank so much water his boat nearly sank.

He drank all day and he drank all night
he drank up and he drank down
but most of all he drank all over town

there was a pirate who drank and drank"

now in my own defence I had drank so much water at this stage I am sure my brain was floating.

I am not sure what the current market prices are for the different type of gems but say 100gp per gem, I think the guild has done fantastic for seth and anne's pressies so far. http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/shared/images/graemlins/wink.gif Event finishes on Monday so it will be interesting to see which house team becomes grand champion gem gathers as all teams are getting stuck in and competitive.

Generally 75-200gp or thereabouts.. 200-ish for diamonds, 75 for citrines, 145 for star sapphires, etc.. it varies a little from jeweler to jeweler &amp; you can actually make a little money off gem trading if you find a decent enough price spread.

hehehe thanks Fink and I do so love your INFROGNITO its very cool, my baby girls nickname is froggy.

The winner of the PoC House Teams Giant Gemstone Gather was Swoop Claw.

<font color="blue"> Swoop Claw = 26831 gems</font>
<font color="red"> Gargoyles = 25804 gems</font>
<font color="green"> Ice Serpents = 23745 gems</font>
<font color="orange"> Dragons Breath = 3844 gems</font>

Thats a grand total of 80224 gems a fine effort by all of PoC and I am sure we will be able to buy some really nice thank you presents for Anne Bonny and Sir Seth Cromwell

8 Million and 704 Thousand and 7 hundred and 98 (yeah I know crazy way of writing it its midnight lol)
The Guild all chipped in for this event, everyone wanting to say thank you to seth and anne for there dedication to the guild and we raised 8mil and change of 704798 gold pieces ........I think this is totally awesome, I am not sure what we are buying them yet but it will be something from the zoo or the museum.

(I know I'm not in PoC anymore - still...)

WOOOOOOOOT Swoop Claw! =D

It's amazing how quick gems add up..

I've always looted them, and they're even more convenient now since the BOS changes because they weigh so little.

Yes it was fantastic how much the gems raised we where all a little shocked by it, unfortunately once the 4 mil was donated to the museum and then 4 mil to the zoo it only transformed into 266664 points each.

But Anne is now enjoying a zoo polar bear statue and Seth has a brand new cloak and robe from the museum to add to his collection in his house team colours of green. It was really nice to give them little thank you presents on behalf of the guild for all the hard work they have done.

This means nothing to alot of people, we realize that but to us its pretty cool. Our little guild has grown so much in the past couple of years its just amazing and something we are proud of.

[Lord Nabin]

Great Job POC you all have come a really long way over the last year! Oceania can be a proud Shard with the likes of you all traveling its realm. I have never heard anything but a kind word or help from you all whenever I travel your shard.

Thank You for setting a good example for the rest of us and making us all feel welcome to your home.

awww thanks Nabbin it was your inspiration of the napa valley event leaders meeting that started the whole climb and growth of our guild.
