I needed to get active doing something\nexciting\"  I began watching the public channels i had never used, and\nfound a whole new world of work to do.\"\nEdmond says 'I noticed that most of that work got pushed to the NCers\nso I figured that's would be the best way to help out around the realms.\nThey do a lot of work most of the realms wasn't willing to do, and\nthat's what I wanted.\n\nAnaisse asks \"What is the goal of newbie council? Edmond answers\n\"The goal of the newbie council is to teach others how to have a\nbetter time playing, and make the time they are on as care free as\npossible when it comes to CR's and equipment choices and all around\ngeneral help\"\n\n\"What would you do in an average day as a newbie councillor?\" asked\nConran.  Edmond says \"Go chan +all, -auction and traffic, watch, listen\nand answer questions. Do Cr's as they come up, anywhere from 1 - 20 or\nwho need an aid or cure, and then basically be on call for any\nquestions that arise\"\nAnaisse says \"That sounds like a full day!\"\nEdmond nods solemnly and replies \"Generally, yes sometimes too full.\"\n\nAnaisse asks \"How many hours a week would you say are needed if someone\nwanted to apply?\" Edmond says 'Council mins are 4-6 hrs, but most of us put in\nthat in a day, not because we have to but because we want to.\"\n\nConran asks \"What duty as a newbie councillor do you dislike the most?\"\nEdmond says \"That's a toughie. One thing i dislike the most is trying to\nconvince lowbies to start learning on their own.\nPeople want hand outs. it's hard to teach people that it's ok to explore\nand to die now and then.\"\n\nAnaisse asks \"When is the time to ask for help in your opinion?\"\nEdmond says 'when you've tried yourself, and died tryin, or know\nyou will without a doubt.. not just maybe. but definitely'\nEdmond says \"When you've tried the help files and homepages\nand just don't know where else to look.\"\nConran says \"Okay what is your favourite job as an NCer?\"\nEdmond says 'Cr's for the most part.. i treat it more like\none of morphy's item quests.. find the room. and it's by far\nthe most satisfying part.'\nAnaisse asks \"Do you have any special help for doing crs?\"\nEdmond says 'the biggest help most everyone doesn't have, is\nthe council.. combined, we pretty have the knowledge to cover\nthe whole realms just about'\n\nAnaisse asks \"What would you tell a player that wanted to apply?\n\"what skills\/knowledge should they have first?\"\nEdmond says \"To join NC, someone should be well equipped in knowledge\nof pre-auth, even better knowledge of lowbie areas, and a decent amount of\nexperience with lowbie equipment.  Those are the keys.  And most\nimportantly, come equipped with a large amount of patience.\n\nConran says \"Also Edmond, say something about if we fail, we get newbieset :P\"\nEdmond agrees with Conran.  Edmond says \"That's a fun one.\"\nConran says 'That is reequips anyone from lev 1 - 5 with pre\nauth equipment.\"\n\nEdmond was still working throughout the interview...giving\ndirections to 4 different areas and administering his wealth of\nadvice. Wrapping up our interview, Conran asks if there are any\ntruly memorable moments...Edmond replied that he had Cr'd both Jott\nand Gisborne as well as alts 'There ya go.. when has an NCer been\nan NCer too long?\" \"When he has cr'd the newer NC members.\"\nConran says 'thats gotta be a good feeling :)' Edmond nods in agreement to\nConran.\n\nAt this point Edmond had to leave for a cr in the shoals.  This is one\nseriously hard working council!!\n\nAs Edmond stated earlier, they also have a great deal of fun.  For\nexample...Edmonds bio :)\n\nOur lager,\n   Which art in barrels,\n   Hallowed be thy hops.\n   Thou will be drunk,\n   And I will be drunk,\n   At home as in the tavern.\n\n   Give us this day our foamy head,\n   And forgive us our spillages,\n   As we forgive those who spill against us.\n   And lead us not to incarceration,\n   But deliver us from hangovers.\n   For thine is The Ale, The Bitter and The Lager.\n   Forever and ever,\n   Barmen\n                            ________________________________\n                           \/     , _                       \/\\\n       .      .'          |     \/|\/ \\ _   _          ,    |_\/\n        :`...' `.,'  '    |      |__\/\/ \\_|\/ \/|\/|\/|  \/ \\_  |\n    `.

Creeping cautiously, after being\nwarned by the enchanter Tim, we looked into the bone littered\nrefuge of one of the realms most dreaded creatures and what\nhappened on that fateful day is as follows, related to us by the\nremaining member of our expedition....\n\nBehold... the cave of Kael Bannor...\n\"Right, keep me covered.\"\n\"What with?\"\n\"Just keep me covered..\"\n\"Too Late!\" *gasps among the band*\n\"There he is.\"\n\"Where?\"\n\"There\"\n\"What, behind the rabbit?\"\n\"It is the rabbit!\"\n\"You silly sod, you got us all worked up\"\n\"Well it's no ordinary rabbit, that's the most foul, crewl and bad\ntempered rodent you ever set eyes on..\"\n\"I soiled my armor I was so scared.\"\n\"Look, that rabbit has got a vicious streak a mile wide\"\n\"It's a killer!\"\n\"Oh please.. \"It'll do you a cheap death\"\n\"I'm warning you..\"\n\"What's he do, nibble your bum?\"\n\"He's got huge sharp..he can leap about.. look at the bones!\"\n\"Go on Rathain, chop it's head off..\"\n\"Right, silly little bugger.\"\n\"One rabbit stew coming right up!\"\n\"LOOK!\"\n*The rabbit leaps ten feet into the air and bites the head off\nRathain whose bloody stump falls to the floor lifeless*\n\"Goooood Lord!\"\n\"I warned you..\"\n\"I've done it again!\" *Allanon soils his armor for the second time*\n\"I warned you but did you listen.. oh no.. you no..it's just a\nharmless little bunny isn't it?

First shall thou take out the\nholy pin, then shoult thou count to three.. no more, no less.\"\n\"Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then\nlobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade toward thy foe, who, being\nnaughty in my sights, shall be snuffed.\"\n\"Amen.\"\n*Nitsuj, having heard brother Menard's oration, pulls the pin\nand lobs the Grenade at the lair of Kael Bannor*\n\"One, two, five\"\n\"Three sir.\"\n\"Three!\"\n*Arching into the air, the grenade falls down into the dark cave\nand explodes in a cloud of white powder and tremendous force*\nThus signaled the end of the legendary rabbit, Kael Bannor...\n\n  ______ ____ _ ______ ______ ______  ___\n |    __|    | |      |      |   | | |   |__ ______ ______ ______ _______\n |___|  |______;____|_;____|_;___  | |    . |    ) |      |  \\___|(_   (_`\n--- funny - bones --------- |______| |______;______;____|_;______|__)____)\n\nFunny Titles\n\nKeroppi thinks he's cuter than Keanu! {BL,QM}.

It is a program by which level 10 - 25 Paladin characters\nmay be mentored by an Avatar member of the GoP on the ways and skills\nof a Paladin in preparation for entry into the guild or just to\nreceive help on being a more effective Paladin.Mentors or Masters will\nhave [Knight] in their title.  Levels 10-17 Apprentices will have\n[Page of (Mentor)] in their title.  Levels 18-25 Apprentices will have\n[Squire of (Mentor)] in their title.  The purpose of this program\nis for Mentors to advise Apprentices not to fetch equipment or plevel\nthem.  This will help Paladin characters get Paladin specific informa-\ntion that is not always available on the chat or ask channel but often\non the guild channel that they do not have access to since they are\nnot yet inducted.\n\nPaladins wishing to apply for the Apprenticeship Program must post\non the Recruiting Office note board at [] 4n 3w 3n stating that they\nwish to do so with details of Race, Level and a bit of backgound\non their character.  They will be contacted in person or by mud mail\nby a Knight or Knightess of the Guild of Paladins.  Positions will\nbe awarded according to availability of mentors and needs of the\nindividual applicants.  Presently there are quite a few positions\nopen but we have received many inquiries.  Please apply if interested\nat your earliest convenience for a better chance at starting your\nApprenticeship in the near future.\n\nGoT News\nThe Guild of Thieves would like to welcome our newest members;\nPruett, Rasmussen, Tsaemanin, Sepi and Krystiana.
