"Alger was perhaps American Capitalism's greatest and most effective propagandist."—Richard WrightWritten to inspire schoolboys to strive for "honesty, industry, frugality, and a worthy ambition," the novels of Horatio Alger (1832–99) are infused with great humanity, broad humor, and a surprisingly sophisticated view of Gilded Age propriety. Central to Alger's philosophy is the notion that heroes like Ragged Dick, a poor boot-black, manage to get ahead by dint of hard work, resourcefulness, luck, pluck, and fair play. Alger's upwardly mobile heroes have become paragons of middle-class comfort and moral standing, and their journeys from rags to respectability have long been viewed as the very embodiment of the American Dream. In this Modern Library Paperback Classic, the text of Ragged Dick is set from the first American book edition of 1868. Also includes an introduction by David K. Shipler, author of The Working Poor.

The Cambridge Satchel Co - Which colour?
(20 Posts)Not two hands necessarily but it is more fiddly to get into than a standard handbag. I always seem to get sighed at in shop queues now because I faff about longer getting my money out
They're nice however the practicality worries me!
You generally are one handed when you have babies and this looks like it'd need two hands to open it.
Before you buy it, I just remembered I saw a gorgeous pink leather satchel in the Doc Martins shop in Covent Garden. It was on a high shelf so I didn't look at it in detail but it was a gorgeous shade and looked very well made. Might be worth a look.
The red one looks amazing,
I had this dilemma recently! I finally decided that some of the colours looked a bit 'cheap' but the red and dark green were lovely. In the end I bought a metalic one
I have the dark brown one and I love it. Have had it a few years and it still looks brand new. I went for that colour as I really couldn't decide. A friend has the red one and it's gorgeous. Saw someone with a dark green one yesterday (may not have been a Cambridge one though) and that looked good too. It's a tough choice!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I'm 37 and would wear a satchel in a bright colour
Treat yourself!
I'm 39yrs and I wouldn't wear one....Prefer the grey or navy to the bright colours tho..
Mine is softening up now, after a year! I don't use it that often. They are well-made, they are just traditional satchels, perfect for carrying a book, because they are the shape of a book though, it means you can't fit much in them. I prefer the more traditional colours myself. Zatchels saddle bag is very nice too.
They're not very nice at all.
I like satchel bags normally but those aren't done well at all, they look really stiff and rigid and not nearly well made enough for the price.
A woman at work has the pink one...and I'm not sure I like it I'm afraid. As Pseud says, it's very stiff and it looks a bit cheap in the pink imo - sorry!
I've got one in purple - I love it! everyone comments on it
I've got that one in the Navy. I love it but it's very stiff - be warned. It gets loads of comments.
Thanks ladies. I think I'm feeling the pink as i've never had a pink bag before!
I have a pink bag and everyone compliments it.
Goes with more than u would think and I don't wear a lot of pink at all.
Just think tan is a bit play it safe and not fond of black at all.
Go for a colour - nothing perks you up on a dull day like a bright bag. I'm not a pink person, so would say red, but clearly it's up to you!!!
37 def not too old (that's how old I am!)
Red or pink.
I would go the colour which is most likely to go with the majority of your clothes, if you are planning on using it every day or if it is expensive.
That said, I quite fancy the idea of a pink satchel, so I am not much help. And no, 37 isn't too old.
I have decided to treat myself to the 11" Classic Satchel as with a 7wo DS I need a small across the body bag when out and about with the buggy.
Torn between the colours!! Should I play safe and buy the Tan? Timeless but I have other tan bags, or do I take the plunge and go for either the Red or Pink?
Or at 37 am I to old for this bag anyway?!
Help me ladies! x

12th Annual South Platte River All Club Paddle
The annual spring kickoff paddling trip on the South Platte River took place this year with two weeks delay on April 6, 2013, due to a winter weather. Typically, this trip is organized on the third Saturday of March. It starts in Evans Riverside Park and goes 9 miles downriver to Kersey or 14 miles to Kuner wuth a lunch break at the second dam portage. Several Colorado paddling clubs participate (Rocky Mountain Canoe Club, Poudre Paddlers Club, Rocky Mountain Sea Kayak Club, High Country River Rafters, and Colorado White Water Association), but no membership is required to paddle.
We had a good weather this year with some signs of spring, but pretty low water, ~550 cfs at Kersey. I took the pictures above with my Canon 5D Mark II DSLR camera. They can be licensed for editorial use from my stock photography portfolio
This year I paddled Badfish inflatable SUP in a longer version of this trip to Kuner. It was not a first time of this paddleboard on the South Platte since I started my SUP season in early February this year with upstream and downstream paddling at Kersey.
I had a nice paddling with some problems on several shallow spots. I paddled a couple of miles without the center 10″ fin, but tracking of Badfish was pretty bad. I will try a shorter fin in my next paddling. NRS fins are compatible with Badfish.

Just stop it! Worst idea ever! I spent countless hours getting way past adored mark on 3 characters, then left town for 2 weeks and now, after another 3 hours of loyalling, I am STILL stuck as Respected so I can't collect the banner I deserved. How dare you mock me and my time? Give me back the hours I wasted on your "idea". At a medium rate of 100 rioters, 5 rioters decay per day is 5%. NOTHING is 5% per day, either good or bad. Maybe on Mongbat Dung Planet that would be ok, BUT NOT HERE !!! In 3 weeks one gets from adored to unknown, where are we? Twilight Zone ???? I just had to redo more than half my work on one character, and I didn't even touch the other 2. I could have just started now, or I could just start later, waiting for something more "interesting" than another bunch of shiny colored items. How did you even come up with this system?? Rewarding someone for their work is one thing, but taking away everybody's gains at this rate is UNACCEPTABLE!!! STOP IT NOW !!! (I thank the stratics mods for not answering my pages, as I had time to cool down before I posted this, so this is a sugared version of the original acid thread I was about to post. It had way more references to ogres, mongbats and orcs.)
The decay has already been reduced to 1%. But I agree that the people that started early are penalized hard. You might as well have started now, there is no reward for the people that have kept up the grind for months to combat the decay.
No!!! No!!!! Noooo!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!! Leave loyalty decay in. The banners and whatever is next should be hard to get. I do agree with Shakkara though, they should have left the decay rate the same so the newer folks have to combat the same problem the early folks had to. Guess in all the future events I will hang back, wait and wait until the gripers start doing their thing and folks give them their way much like that mother with the three year old pitching a fit for the candy bar in the checkout lane. Sometimes authority figures just need to learn to swat them on the butt and say NO. Just my .02 of course.
Why? Why should anything in this game be hard to get? Why should people who only have a limited amount of time for game play miss out? Are these banners so earth shattering and game changing? Bad enough we have SSI cloaks and dread mares no one can get again.
So you would like to encourage people not to care about events until the end, that way they do the work once to get all of the rewards, instead of earning their spot early and actively following the event? So... why should they bother to write the early part of the event?
*Winks* @Wolfy... I just got home from making cookies. I see yer PM, I have not read it yet. I really did just get home. Yer post seems OK in this version...
To be honest at events there should be a way to let players get the item deemed for and have fun doing it. Now I dont condone that just cause a small handfull can get in there with the new favorite way of killing and grab all the goodies! It is not fair for the healer who is rezing the players so much they cant get a slepp in edge wise to warrent a chance. I like when at the end a totum is used and all get a prize. Now if you get a different prize if the machine is set to rendomize the gift for your work... ok thats a great idea. The thing is that if they do show up and do honest fighting they too should get a gift.
"Point Decay" is a terrible grind mechanic that the Dev Team needs to stop using. UO isn't WoW. People play this game casually, sometimes taking weeks off at a time. They should be penalized in an event like this why? UO shouldn't penalize us for having Real Lives (tm). "Loyalty" in this context is a bad joke. We run around feeding & clothing the poor, arresting pyromanic rioters, and killing/arresting raiders. We get up to Adored/venerated just to lose it a few days later? Are Britannian's that forgetful, or just jaded and callous? If you poke at the concept of loyalty for a few minutes, it all breaks apart RP-wise. Why are we limited to one city? Why would Yew care that someone who has been helping their city also helps Skara Brae? Have the Virtues been totally tossed out the window? Shouldn't we be striving for unity and to ensure that all the people are fed and "happy"? Where is the "fun" in this grind?
You're confusing "hard" with "tedious" and they are really two different things. Like Martyna said UO is not WoW. Grind mechanics can ruin a game or a system in a hurry. While UO has it's sharing of grinding, and lord knows enough of the people who made Warcraft the grindfest that it is came out of the early UO development teams, you can get by without a lot of the grinding. If I'm in a situation where I want to participate in such a game mechanic, but I'm unsure of whether I will be able to login enough or keep up a certain amount of activity, I'm going to be less likely to engage in said activity. The problem is that if I engage in said activity, have to stop for a certain amount of time, and I lose a lot of what I had previously gained, I'm less likely to resume said activity because it now becomes a grind. That's counter-productive for the devs - they want to implement new things that more people are going to want to participate in, not less. As a matter of fact, last year, Mesanna talked about how they wanted to get away from the mindless stuff and grinding. Having bad decay systems on things like this can turn just about anything into a grind.
I agree that I see no point what ever to the decay as the ONLY purpose it serves is to make people annoyed, but I think you are being a touch melodramatic.
Agree. The grind to get to adored is already a mega snooze fest. Punishing people who may be unable to play for a week, or simply don't like to repeat the same 3 activities over and over every week to maintain loyalty. The fact that of all of the different loyalty ratings from the gargoyle queen to all of the various NPC groups we have had the choice to be loyal to... none of them have ever had decay. My ophidian loyalty is the same as it was 5 months ago. What is the point of deviating from the standard loyalty rating MO. There is no justification of decay. The only thing decay does is create a needless obligation. The question is, and always should be... is this fun?
The concept of grind is to "engage in repetitive and/or boring tasks" in pursuit of some reward, either it is money, an item, to unlock something or just for a personal quest. You are presented with what you have to do, what you gain by doing it and it's up to you if you do it or not. With town loyalty they are on to something way worse. One has to grind continuously only to preserve what he/she already gained by previously grinding for hours/days. And what's that gain about? Some abstract notion that may or may not help somewhere in the future to get something that may or may not be desirable. I'm not talking about if it's hard or not to do the stuff needed for this loyalty, I'm talking about the mindblowing gaming concept behind this event. How can you even come up with a reward that would make up for all this trouble you imagined? What monumental reward could keep the proportion towards the playtime/grind needed to get it and ... let's say a Mesanna Roulette Lantern and the trouble one get through to get it?? If one can get a 200mil item in 30mins at one of these "wonderful" Messana Roulette Events, what should be the reward for grinding 15mins a day per character all the way to september??? This system is doomed from the start. And even worse, you didn't even bother to mention how this will work. You never said "go keep peace in your favourite city and, oh, when you stop, it will be like it never happened". I would have never joined in such a silly event. I was tricked to waste time for nothing and I even had to pay money for it. I am very sorry that I actually do have a life and that I want my time spent in an online game to be meaningful and fun. You cancelled my work without any previous notice or consolation reward, or even the slightest apology for screwing this up. I have lost COMPLETE interest in this event. Way to go to celebrate the long struggle to keep playing one of the most challenging and poorly run games ever.
It is not, most of us already stated that: But I guess they just couldn't end the event after some of the players spent long boring hours to get to the highest loyalty ratings. I think this is their reward, I don't think they are expecting other players to participate in this act from scratch and they shouldn't! It is really boring!
To add my voice to the many expressed here; this event design was so bad, I actually stopped playing Ultima Online for fun, logging in now only for plant watering and the EM events. Even during such events though, the civil war story line is changing the nature of the game. The EMs on Europa are roleplaying city allegiances too, which has meant for a good number of them I've ended up refusing to fight the Bandit spawn we've been led into. Why? Because it would have further wrecked the "progress" of my own character because the game mechanics would have counted that as working against my "own" city, which as we've been warned time and time again will destroy the overall arc for us. Which is quite, quite ridiculous. And roleplaying resistance to the entire arc because my character in game, and my personality out of game refuses to bow before the petty appeals to the greed of those who cannot conceive of anything higher than the self, which means that all I'm doing is logging on to seem difficult and arrogant for getting in the way of the opportunities of others to gain Phat L3wt. And that loot? What joy is there in material rewards which are themselves a grind to achieve, and a shameless money grabbing one at that? Because no one can own all 8 banners on a single account, because you can only get 7 characters to place? And the Meer/Juka rewards aren't even visually attractive, and in turn treat decency and support for their race as a simple currency to buy ugly vanity items, an incredible oxymoron. But then, there was loyalty decay on top of this. Which having popped by Stratics today I now discover was originally 5 percent. 5 PERCENT. What the hell were you thinking? Do you believe all of us value our personal lives so, so very little that we'd not mind that you sliced away 5 percent of the time we'd sacrificed in the hopes this soulless grind had a point? Oh, I know in the reality of your own day to day professional lives you have to work with limited budgets, tiny programming teams, and pressures from suited corporate drones who demand server usage figures and revenue streams... that you need to generate hours of addictive content for very little design work and as cheaply as possible... but we don't live in that world in Brittania. It's our escape from it, we come home for escapism and aspire to better or just more exciting things with our spare time. And saving your job means understanding that. This isn't just rhetoric; look at the practical consequences. If you'd have been working on the Diablo series, Age of Shadows would have been a success. But instead it's itemization marked the first real collapse in subscriptions, because you're not working on Diablo. You're working on Ultima Online. And we the community as a whole didn't want grind for item stats here. "But why do people play the grinds we patch in then?" you may ask. Because affection is something people don't let go very easily, and they want to remain in love with Ultima Online. And if that's the only content you give them... "It's a viable model though" you could claim; "World of Warcraft proves it". Yes, but the thing is, the people who want to play that model have largely left and gone to World of Warcraft. And back in the mists of time, if they were in the mood for that too, they were playing Everquest Online 1 instead. Ultima Online is in the same overall genre of game, but it doesn't have the same design ethos or audience. You may want to try and lure some of WoWs audience here; but they aren't going to go back to a graphical style from the 1990s with a majority of code and design from a different perspective entirely. Simply believing you are celebrating Ultima Online's history doesn't mean that you actually are. Not if you aren't celebrating the true Spirit of it all. In fact, let me explain with a contrast. THERE WILL BE EVENT ARC SPOILERS NOW. Be warned. I've hinted before I suspected what we were seeing was the rise of a Fellowship kind of movement. And with the death of Queen Dawn, I think I can see where the parallel you are trying to draw is. Ultima 7 is the first of the third of 3 cycles in Ultima History, the so-called Guardian Trilogy. It's been interpreted as a reversed mirror image of the first Trilogy (Ultima 1-3) which shows the unification of Britannia and the rise of the Avatar, the embodiment of virtue; where as the final trilogy leads to the splintering of Britannia, the rise of anti-virtue as symbolised by the Guardian, and the end of the Avatar's involvement in Britannia. I doubt you are planning for the end of the game though. No, what I suspect is someone was inspired and thought "Hey, we can use that mirror-trilogy concept though; We can't use British or associated characters, but we do have the coincidence of the 15th year anniversary, and being roughly around Ultima 7 in the Prime lore we've used, so we can tie the two together and have a rebirth. Let's kill off Dawn, have a period of instability, the beginnings perhaps of the rise of the Guardian equivalent... but see a new Britannia and new leader emerge from the chaos" Who it will be, I have no idea. Or even what style of Government, beyond "fresh start at 15!" Perhaps this time around the Guardian is going to be Virtue-Bane, which is basically the Guardian's character as his name... Anyway, it's an interesting take on the Prime lore if this what the design really is; but remember I said it doesn't count at all if you don't remember the Spirit? You see, in Ultima Prime, we not only explored the entire world, lolly-gagging in fields with cows if we wanted, but largely helped shape that world, being the main narrative focus. In Ultima Online, what we're doing is grinding one small part of the world over and over again. Not because we're heroes or villains, but because we dare not miss out on potentially time sensitive pixel crack. Being cynical, I suspect for a good reason, because there's not enough dev time to do more than plot what ever the Big Event will be. so we've been given something to do to fill out the hours until then. I just hope it's not as half-assed as throwing pies at Virtue-Bane, because someone didn't understand the difference between humiliation and humility. And as a consequence, what I'm actually doing in real life instead is, having just chased an enormous bumble bee out of my flat, I'm now grabbing a book and catching the last of the evening sun, in a park here in real life Britain. Another extremely early heat wave again... but still, despite what it hints towards, sunshine and a book is so much more refreshing to the soul than worrying about hours of dull gameplay to prove my virtual house more pimpin' than my neighbours.
I also see it as another discarded Cal item:"Git 'em in, git 'em out" Remember that? Or maybe I took that wrong in thinking grinds were going away in arcs. I have it on good authority that some UO dev's went to FB - this is exactly the kind of event that should be there instead of here.
I really cannot be bothered to detail again my objections to the whole thing so I will content myself by simply agreeing with the O/P. I guess whether or not our opinions have been noted may become evident in future if we get a similar scenario. The people responsible might usefully peruse the poll about liking the the Loyalty system which currently indicates Like the system ----13 votes = 22.4% Dislike the system--43 votes = 74.1% This would give them some idea of the esteem people hold their brilliant idea in.
Perfect. This sums up my thoughts exactly. Damn well done Adol. I'm at the point where I'm not grinding s**t in this game anymore. I will keep one character on each shard I play at adored, and call it good. It started with the decay of the virtues, making the task of keeping up multiple characters in multiple virtues on multiple shards impossible without grinding. I'm sick of the grinding. I don't play WoW, I play UO.
I won't copy your whole post again, Adol, but it's brilliant. I hope Jeff reads it and takes it to heart.
This sort of thing has been happening for years. During the destruction of Haven we had the "blackrock dealers". My characters that had managed to find blackrock were diametrically opposed to handing in blackrock for a reward, so I didn't do a turn in. As a consequence, the hundreds (thousands?) of others who DID managed to get rewards for their collusion, while my characters woke up one day to find Haven island destroyed and left with nothing but blackrock for their ethical stand. But, of course, the pure gamer types just think I'm an idiot for actually playing with integrity for my pixels people. However, from an RP standpoint, the past years have been a slow slide into chaos and egotism and greed. When we are given opportunities to "just help out" there's no real feeling of accomplishment over the long term, especially with the loss of position when you take time off. Yes, we get rewards (sometimes) for helpful activities, but for the most part we are left with a lot of time wasted that doesn't really lead to anything fun or wonderful for our efforts. Do I want a blackrock eating dragon because I worked for four hours a day repelling the same "invasion" over and over? Hm. I can't say I do really, hence why I haven't played a LOT of the events after an initial attempt. I have mostly watched the events from the outside, largely because none of them have a definitive result that would make me (or my characters) proud or happy to have worked on them. I worked on some of the Ophidian invasions largely because they were outside my house or in a town I needed to visit, not because I particularly felt obligated to as a UO "citizen". And even if I DID, my work was undone within a day, sometimes within 20 minutes. I guess I don't understand the development concept behind these sort of situations. Spawn something annoying, dangerous, deadly; let the players deal with it; give them some small reward; reset the spawn point; eventually patch in some "result" and let the players who got points or items trade in for another reward. It becomes a groundhog day situation where you eventually just go back to your house in exasperation and decorate or fiddle with crafting. There is no real feeling of accomplishment over the long term, since I KNOW 100% that shortly everything will back the way it was and my efforts were wasted. I haven't played for weeks now because of being snowed under at work, but also because I'm kinda tired of grinding things for "rewards" that I'm not sure I really want -- especially if I have to continually start from the beginning. Do the devs not remember playing cartridge games without save points? Cause that's what they've been building with their events....
I can't imagine why anyone would think faction decay is a good idea, to the point I wonder if the people who voted in favor of decay just did so to grief. seriously dumbest idea ever, i think i am going yo twitter Raph koster and see if him or richard garriot would weigh in.
I may have missed it, but has any Developer posted on UOStratics the reasons "why" they put in Town Loyalty decay ? So far, I have read all sorts of posts from players and about their disliking (myself included...) about Town Loyalty decay but I have yet to read the reasons this decay was put in by the Developers. If anyone knows of any post, I'd love to get a link to it. Thanks.
Just FYI, I can't think of a single system in WoW that uses point decay. Sure, they reduce your current tier points to lower tier points when they drop in a new tier of armor, but that's to be expected. You don't really lose anything... you just have to work for the CURRENT stuff, which is appropriate in my opinion. Arenas reset points at the end of a tournament season, but that's for the same basic reason. Other than that... nothing decays. In fact, WoW's design philosophy has been just the opposite of UO's. They want everyone to experience the various aspects of their game, and so they've taken systems and made them MORE accessible rather than less. Yeah, there remains a grind in the form of daily quests, but you know, you don't really lose anything by not doing them, some things just may take longer. Other areas like the old daily dungeon rewards were changed to a weekly total you could earn so you didn't have to feel compelled to play daily and could just do what you needed to when you had time to. In short... Blizzard doesn't typically punish the player... particularly on events.
Well I did the grind on 3 of my characters, one for Skara (venerated), Moonglow (adored) and Yew (adored). Got my three banners and that is IT. Was if fun? NO I figured out pretty quick that dumping money, feeding the population, picking up garbage and putting out fires is a sure way to WASTE money, waste food, and give yourself carpel tunnel injury on those darn garbage piles and fires for very very little reward. Not sure what the value in being 'venerated' is, but to get to 'adored' the quickest way is just arrest rioters. And if you keep a count at least you have an idea of how much more misery you need to go through to complete the task. 5 Arrests = Commended another 15 Arrests = Respected and another 80 Arrests = Adored tested those on my second two characters. To get to venerated on the first char seemed to take hundreds more after adored, (didn't think to count the first char, plus was doing the carpel tunnel fires etc for the first half to adored until I wised up) and there sure better be some 'other' reward for that misery for those of us who suffered to obtain venerated status, and the maintenance of it, or we are gonna be . What really sucks is after suffering through that tedium, to get the 'reward' you have to pay 250k. Sucks totally having only restarted on a new shard with new characters and their 1000 gps to have to shell out that kind of money just to 'participate', especially when you need to outfit your chars and get established in so many other ways in this hugely expensive economy that UO has become. Totally new players are basically excluded from this as it is unlikely they will have the spare cash. It better not be the case that if your 'loyalty' dwindles due to decay that you will not be able to 'place' your banners if you re-deed them when doing deco etc. That would be the icing on this stale cake.
I approve this approval. *edit* As I'm running a company my gaming time is very limited. I have given up on any of the newer addons because of all the decay garbage. Shouln't they implement funny and entertaining stuff for the cash they get from us? Can't they just check the towns to see barely anyone is bothering with the crap?
Adol did an excellent summary, but I'll vary from it slightly with a reason. I'm a roleplayer at heart. Throughout my time playing UO, I can safely say well over 90% of my time that wasn't spent in mines farming ingots has been spent in my city of choice, Trinsic. I don't know why, but I am extremely attached to this city. My house is little more than extra bank space, I spend only the bare minimum of time there I need to transfer items from one character to another, or if I'm just self-casting spells to gain skills. For this reason, and this reason alone, I will grind for my reputation with the city of Trinsic until my fingers bleed. It's MY city. To me, the reputation with my city of choice is my reward - The banner is just icing on the cake, as likely will be anything that comes after. I don't like grinds, but I'll do them. The problem with THIS grind is that it has been implemented in a way that's not conducive to fun. Grinds in WoW only work (Now, more than in the past) because: There is a clear indicator of your progression. You can easily determine how much time you will need to accomplish your goal, and find the best way to maximize your gain and maintain a certain level of enjoyability. It never degrades. There are a few reputations where if you gain with one you lose with the other, or their used to be, but these were minor and insignificant reputations. They incorporate every day activities into the process. You can wear a tabard and gain reputation in dungeons, having fun and doing what you would have done anyway. They have daily quests which reward good money and reputation, and they vary. Killing certain monsters can gain you some reputations. They are rewarded not only with fluff stuff like titles, toys, and decorative things, but they can also access some OK equipment.. Not so much that it can't be beaten through other means, but makes for good starting equipment on your path to something better. These 4 things are CRITICAL to why they work, and why players bother. The grind for this arc has NONE of these things. Omissions of points 1 and 2 are the worst of it, IMO, and sadly, the easiest things to fix. They could have done so much more to incorporate more playstyles in fun and dynamic ways instead of clicking random things for unknown amounts of time. What else could they have done? Make it so killing mobs in the cities antivirtue dungeon raises rep. This incorporates casual play and builds meaningful rep. Make turn-ins via daily quests or a per-day limit available for crafters to bolster the cities coffers and supply it's guards. Fits right in with the lore too. Turn off degradation. There is no need for this. Turn on a numeric indicator. We're past the point where not knowing how you are progressing in something that can easily be measured is interesting or mysterious. Don't have rioters and protestors spawn in walls you can't access. This just slows it down even more. Regardless, Trinsic is my city. I'll do what I must, even though, really, it's not fun or interesting doing it. Hopefully I'll at least get a nice city-centric title to let people know I am now, and always will be, a citizen of Trinsic.
Thinking about loyalty... Thinks Ter Mur... That was a 'little' grind, still ongoing, but it was enjoyable. You always knew where you stood, and how much was left. Anybody can do it, at whatever pace they want. I never look at my points anymore, but I'll have a new Panda toon soon that will need it - and I already know I'll enjoy raising it again. Little, Fun, unrestricted, informational - get a benefit - Win
That is a big part of it for me. Everyone agrees that the grind isn't particularly fun. And that presents a problem. Psychologically for me, it's harder to motivate myself to do it because I never really know where I stand or how fast I'm advancing doing something I don't particularly enjoy. And I don't think I'm alone. Sure, you can say, "Don't do it then", and you'd be right. But as a system, as a developer for a game, the choice should never be "Grind it out not knowing how you are progressing doing something that isn't fun" and "Just don't bother if you don't find it fun". That shows, right at the start, a lack of planning in the structure of it, that you knowingly created something that isn't fun, but you hope the carrot (Defined or not) at the end of the string is enough to get people to participate. In my opinion, of course.
The decay is a lot less now. Did not dropped out of Venerated since a few days. Normaly it was every day. So something has been changed.
Neither of you are wrong, nor even disagreeing with me as such; I've played my share of grinders too, and these are indeed the core mechanics which make that model work. You are simply moving the location of the fun achieved from the mechanics of the game (say something like Tetris which is just inherently addictive as is) into the rewards for completing the action... something closer perhaps to the old Dragon's Lair games. I wouldn't deny it's fun for many, and has been for me in the past too, it's just fun expressed in different ways. I just don't believe it works here. And I have my concerns about it becoming the dominant model in general and what it's doing to our personalities in the long run... I've been trying Star Trek Online recently, and got into a debate over their new Duty Officer system, and I want to repeat the outlines of my point here; Someone commented that (what turned out to be a bug) which duplicated the amount of work people had to do, for an already complex and confusing system, however gave a small chance at one or two extra missions because the duplicate list was very slightly different somehow, and thus was a good thing, because it meant they could do that extra work and get a few more missions. I asked how many hours a day he played, and he replied about 16 hours; So I pointed out that "The problem is that game developers have heard the of the phrase "I'd crawl through a mile of crap to get to the diamond in the centre" and not understood that if you set it for the kind of people who, like you, are playing 16 hours a day, if they put the diamond at 16 hours, people who play 5 hours a day, 10 hours, even 15 hours a day just play crap for hours." And that's what we're largely doing in Ultima Online right now. When we should be playing Panda Tetris. Panda Love 41 Piece Tetris A61320F505B Jigsaw Puzzle - JigZone.com (Congratulations to Nimauq for having his work on UOGuide recognised however, and what is almost certainly a funny April Fool (there were no Pandas in Ultima IV)... The devs are human just like us of course, and all criticism is impersonal)
Just out of curiosity I parsed my chat log.. Bare in mind I was adored for at least 2 days before I noticed my chat log wasn't turned on. This was over a 10 day period where it was all I did when I was on (Only an hour or less some days, more when I could). I have to walk my arrests since I can't gate travel, and scrolls fizzle far too often to be practical. Since then: 716 Fires 163 Piles of Garbage 42 Angry Protesters given maximum donation of Bread 50 Arrests ... STILL Adored. Hopefully the decay is off, but a numerical indicator would be very welcome indeed.
Without saying whether I disagree or agree with point decay, I must point out that negative loyalty also decays. And that much has proven quite useful. I also, I should point out, disagree with Martyna on this all making little sense RP-wise. (Reference is to the concept, not to the mechanic, the latter of which I'm not commenting on save for the above.) -Galen's player
Going by the metafiction, the civil unrest facet came out of the blue - without any fictional explanation. Granted, Queen Dawn's death would have been a morale hit, banishing Virtue Bane, (re)building New Magincia, "killing" Scelestus, etc. should all have been high points. Whatever government we have has been rather hands-off. So the "Help! Help! I'm being repressed!" of the citizenry is a bit mystifying. Now, on GL, we've been given a decent groundwork for why people are unhappy. The 'Assembly of Lords & Guilds' is a group of inept/corrupt/entitled aristocrats who don't give a flying F about the rank and file citizen. And at least one of them actively pursuing a vendetta against a group (and it's leader) who has protected the kingdom. So while GL makes sense, and each shard's EMs may have given a specific rationalization, the metafiction has failed on this point so far. While the recent fiction posts have all been far better than what we got for the last arc, they have been annoyingly light on the "why" detail. Its kind of like a television episode that starts after the climax, then tells the story through disjointed flashbacks. The mystery of the "why" is wearing a tad thin. (If Exodus is behind it all, then the Callie story should definately have been the first part of Act I)
I think you need to elaborate on your two opinions: 1. Why do you think that the decay of negative loyalty is useful? I know that if I'd RP a villain and go smack some greys in Skara, I would go insane if in 2 weeks the townsfolks would call me "bud". And I hope you were reffering to the passive decay, which is the subject here, not the active do good/they forgive "decay" that nobody challenged. 2. What are the aspects of the arc RP that you like? Martyna made solid arguments against this sudden riot-mania and also against the city segregation, which is absurd from both UO and human point of view.
well act 2 ....5000 x2 =10000 points took about 15 hours play to get..that was about 15 x 1 hour grinds.....200 gravediggers per statue....x2= 400 kills for 2 statues!!!!!!.....so a bloody proper grind that would put off the casual gamer type.... Then act 1 takes about 50?? rioters jailed ...3-4 hours on a mage ...lot harder on someone that cannot gate....to get all 8 ....+++24 hours......no thankyou...i have a real life to live too!!!!! muahhahahhahhahaaaaaa....grinding to the up most maximus....stupid....and mindless
Having spent a little while looking over the mechanics, there's a number of further issues that I've been made aware of, as to why this is very poor design; 1.) The Banners that are the rewards apparently need the Reputation to be placed. So unless this is changed at some point, it ruins the ability to use the decoration... Once the event ends you won't be able to place it at all after a little while of decay. Even if the decay is frozen at the end of the event, if ever you want to re-deed and replace it, you're going to have to keep grinding reputation to negate decay, up until the point of freezing, to ensure that character ends up with enough at the end. 2.) The "Civil War" theme may be dramatic, but it can't really be implemented alongside the current reputation design; on Europa there are some impossibly hard raiders from Jhelom attacking Moonglow, which means people simply can't do the reputation grind in Moonglow for now (and crafters probably can't even when the normal raiders are there). So either the EMs have to keep the events under control, and thus lessen the drama, or bugger it outright for the few people who want to earn the banner for that city. I wonder if the Dev Team has the figures for how many of these celebratory "rewards" have been claimed? It really can't be many at all. So once more, I'm begging them to reconsider as soon as possible these horrible mechanics.
I honestly feel bad for people who have been doing this grind since day one, once the non deco awards come out ill start working a town, and if any of those who had grinded to the max could not play for a bit, they will be on even footing with me when i start.

£1m Boost for Business in Blackpool
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Twenty new jobs and over a million pounds worth of new sales are the result of a two year project by Lancaster University's InfoLab21 to help local firms in Blackpool become more competitive.
The Blackpool Business Development Initiative provided marketing support to more than eighty small and medium sized companies.Each company received a tailored package of marketing support, for example market research, branding and website development.
Project Manager Anthony Cook, from the University's Knowledge Business Centre, first spent time visiting the firms individually to find out their needs.
He said: "Most smaller firms can't afford marketing but they come to realise its importance because it makes a significant impact on their business."
The companies which the University has helped range from to a CCTV firm, hotels and manufacturing to those engaged in ICT.
Peter Trunkfield is the managing director of UK Travel Planners which offers car hire and accommodation for overseas visitors. He said business had increased tenfold since Lancaster University set up an e-commerce website to enable customers to book cars online.
Peter added: "I'm delighted - it's made the business and we've taken on more staff. We've achieved in a few months what it would have taken us three or four years to do otherwise.
"Before we had a free phone number for people to call from Australia and Canada but that generated a lot of paperwork and now people can book on the web it's much easier."
The project was part funded by the European Regional Development Fund and was run in partnership with Business Link and Blackpool Borough Council.
Peter Legg, the council's Head of Economic Regeneration said: "We're interested in supporting all businesses in Blackpool and offering them the opportunity to improve their competitive position. Working with the University has been proved through a number of projects to improve that position."
The University's Knowledge Business Centre is based at InfoLab21, a £15m centre of excellence for IT and communications technologies funded by Lancaster University, the Northwest Development Agency (NWDA), the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Staff at the KBC aim to enable businesses and academics to work together to develop new products and processes through industry training and technology transfer.

2012 Infiniti M
Choose Infiniti M Style:
C/D Overview:
Totally redesigned last year with more-powerful engines, swankier sheetmetal, a great-looking and spacious interior, and a boatload of safety features, the current M carries on into its second year virtually untouched. While we enjoy the thrust of its V-8, the M37's V-6 is the smart buy for most.
Base Price: $48,595 - $62,595
Well-crafted interior, lively and sporty chassis tuning, strong V-6, very strong V-8, solid structure.
M56 can get rather expensive, Sport package makes for a stiff ride and nervous steering.
What's New
Redesigned for 2011; unchanged for 2012.
Behind The Wheel
With either engine, the M has plenty of power on reserve. Adding the Sport package makes the steering too reactive and the ride rough. Without it, the M feels better balanced but still sporty.

By Mary T. from Ann Arbor, MI on May 12, 2011
I am very happy with these pulls for our bathroom cabinets. The ordering process (over the phone) was excellent. The salesperson was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The order arrived on time and was well packaged. I would order from ATG again!

I'm the mother of two grown children who likes to play tennis, read, cook, and listen to music. I enjoy chatting with guests and helping them get around New York!
Every Superhost has their own style, but they've all reached key hospitality goals.
Congratulations, you're a Superhost! We'll reward you with priority support, product previews and more.
Abby has completed online and offline ID verification.
Abby is an excellent hostess; creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere in the home... goes the extra mile. The room was neat, bed comfortable.
That was a great time. Abby is kind and nice. She offered me a ride to NY when she went there. We had a lot talk about cultures and human beings, etc. I think it was a great experience.
As you should know I knew my hostess from earlier visits (this was my 3rd) and as expected ther were no problems with my check in.(WE had agreed on the phone how to do it).My stay went very well .Abby is a charming and helpful hostess and when on top of that the location of the apartment suits me very well I keep coming back.
This place is perfect!! Abby was so friendly and thoughtful that I felt very comfortable to stay at this place. The room was clean, the shower pressure was comfy, and cats were so cute. It is not too far from the station and the area seemed safe.
Abby has a wonderful place up in Riverdale. She, her daughter, and their cats made me feel really welcome at their home. The room is very cozy and comfortable. The neighborhood has some great places to eat, of note are Greek Express on Riverdale Ave. and Picante Picante on W. 231 St. Getting to Manhattan on subway takes a bit of time, although I found that switching to the express A train on 168 St. station helps save time.
Abby was such an amazing host and I really enjoyed my stay at her place. She told me where the closest grocery store was and give me some advices on nice places I could visit during my stay. I was also impressed with how clean the house was kept. I'll definitely recommend her place to my friends and anyone who has high standards of cleanliness.
Abby and her daughter Sarah made me feel very welcome, and gave me privacy at the same time. Everything was as advertised, and it was easy to get to Manhattan by train, so all in all I had a good experience and would definitely book the room again for future trips to the Big Apple.
Great location, safe and fun neighborhood with plenty to eat around. House was clean and beautiful. Starbucks and food options literally right across the street. Abby was really nice and accommodating. My best experience on airbnb thus far.
Je n'ai pas beaucoup vu Abby, mais le peu de fois où on s'est vu, Abby et sa fille ont vraiment été charmantes et agréables. Abby est toutefois resté disponible par message et mon séjour s'est donc très bien passé. La description et les photos correspondent au logement et j'ai vraiment apprécié mon séjour chez Abby.
I had great experience with my host, Abby (and her daughter and her two cats)! I came in late and left very early the next morning but I found everything was just what I needed: Clean, safe and warm! Thanks!

How much refrigerant and are these pressures at idle. Did you replace the drier?
yes the pressures are at idle speed.
125 psi with the engine off and the system equalized. I replaced the accumulator. The system calls for 68 oz. I have about 60 in there, and there is no change in temp. Its a van with rear ac. The line just after the orifice tube at the evap inlet is freezing. but at the evap outlet it is super hot. |
Is the orifice tube new?
Compressor is fine , as it is making 400 psi plus. Dont do that too much it wont be fine
Icing at the low side of the orifice means the orifice is plugged, or is way to small. What color did you put in? Also, it sounds like the expansion valve in the rear (orifice if on an aerostar) is also plugged or not responding correctly. Did you check / flush the rear lines and check the rear TVX device?
Fact is stranger than Fiction |
the tube I put in was white. visually it looked the same. its definitely icing on the low side. and it will burn you at the outlet of the evap. I flushed everything except the expansion valve and rear condenser assembly. its ridiculously difficult to disassemble. I even considered bypassing the rear system.
White is the largest of tubes available at .072" inches.
The problem is most likely at the rear expansion valve. It is probably blocked or plugged, or is defective and is closed off, not letting freon pass, causing high side readings to be high, and low side to be low, and everything inbetween. I would have to suggest opening up the rear at the expansion valve , both lines, and flush the lines, and replace the valve or orifice at the rear.
Fact is stranger than Fiction |
thats what i was afraid of. half the interior has to com out to get to the expansion valve. |
30-315 is still not right for a dual system. Do you have good airflow across the condensor? Cooling Fans working well?
30-315 still sounds like rear system not working right. pressures should be more like 45-225 after system stabilizes (running for 5 minutes with recirculate on).
Fact is stranger than Fiction |
actually, i have an electric cooling fan pulling air. its about 85 degrees here right now.
i'll probably take it to an ac shop tuesday. it will have to be emptied before i can unearth the expansion valve. |
Be sure the temp/blend door is closed and not heating up the refrigerated air as it passes through the ductwork. If all is well there then you will need to take a good hard look at the rear system.
I have found that the rear system tends to gather debris as the hoses are at the lowest point in the system, also expansion valves can stick, or fail for no apparent reason.
Fact is stranger than Fiction |

The MOF has recently approved the opening of three offices by KPMG Huazhen (Special General Partnership) in Chengdu, Xiamen and Qingdao. Localisation has been one of the basic strategies of KPMG China's operations.
The award recognises a select number of leading professional firms and advisers that have performed to exceptional levels, even during the most difficult period that the global economy has experienced for decades.
This report analyses issues and questions arising from the mixed ownership reform. These include which sectors are to be opened, what type of non-public capital should be introduced, what are the implementation procedures, etc.
This guide reflects IFRSs in issue at 1 December 2014 that are required to be applied by an entity with an annual period beginning on 1 January 2014.
The content is based on the responses of 213 senior business decision-makers across five key countries: Australia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore. It analyses the state of D&A maturity across the Asia-Pacific region.
Commercial due diligence is the process of appraising a target by reference to its market and, above all, whether the company is positioned to succeed. We tackle the issues at the heart of the business: market conditions and outlook, macroeconomic influences, industry structure, regulatory environment, competitive position, and relationships with key customers and suppliers. We consider, in particular, the impact of these factors on the target's ability to deliver its forecast results which form the basis of valuation of the company. Our integrated approach, which combines commercial, financial and tax due diligence services, gives you a deeper understanding of the business.
Commercial due diligence seeks to answer some tough questions. Here are a few examples:
• Market demand- Is the level of market demand sustainable?- Is the company focused on the right market segments?- Will the introduction of new technology affect demand? • Customers- How strong are the company's relationships with key customers?- Will their purchasing patterns alter in the next five years?- Is further customer penetration achievable through existing sales channels? • Products- How do the company's products compare with competitors'?- How is the product life cycle changing? • Business plan- How likely is the company to achieve its forecast results?- How sound are the underlying assumptions?- What are the material sensitivities?

Are Elan, Pfizer, Lilly and J&J Buys After a Failed Drug Test?
TheStreet) -- If you're an
(PFE - Get Report) or
Johnson& Johnson
(JNJ - Get Report) investor, Monday's disappointing drug test result is always in the back of your mind but hopes are raised at the Phase 3 stage.
ELN data by
The three companies announced that bapineuzumab, Elan's drug for Alzheimer's disease, wasn't effective at slowing or halting the disease progression with people who have a mutation of the gene ApoE4. Eli Lilly (LLY - Get Report) has a similar drug in trials and its shares are trading lower Tuesday as well.
While the main larger group failed to demonstrate effectiveness, researchers intend to examine sub-groups for a positive response. (See
Husseini Manji, the head of neuroscience research at Johnson & Johnson, reportedly stated, "We're optimistic that noncarriers are going to respond better" and people with the genetic mutation were "going to be a tougher nut to crack."
All three companies traded lower in aftermarket trading Monday. Elan, with the most on the line, was hit the hardest. Elan traded down over 13% before the completion of after-hours trading. TheStreet's Dan Fitzpatrick wrote a great article that includes Pfizer,Bargain hunters and short-sellers covering positions could push the price up about 50% to 60% in relation to the gap-down price. Looking at the chart, I expect short-term resistance for Elan near $12.75, Pfizer at $24, Johnson& Johnson at $68.50. Round numbers often attract like a price magnet and repel, causing a bounce. Expect a lot of Elan volume to trade near $11.50 a share Tuesday, but also be prepared for a closing under the opening price, and more than a 25% chance of a close under $11.50. PFE data by YCharts
If you are scrutinizing today's drop to signal a buying opportunity, you are likely going to find the end of the day Wednesday or Thursday better than Tuesday. There is no hurry buying the dip with ELN. Stocks dumping as a result of failed tests usually take a full month or two to recover, and only if no other disappointments are announced in the meantime. Take your time and do your homework before allocating capital here. Look for the second break above $12.75 as the one that "sticks." JNJ data by YCharts
Johnson & Johnson is so large and diverse that this speed bump will not likely stick in the memories of investors for long. Pfizer may take a breather from the rocket ride higher, but I expect bargain hunters to jump on board near $22.65 and lower, if it even makes it down that far. What's the best play with these stocks? There should be a very attractive trade coming up Wednesday and or Thursday. Near the end of the day, if still trading lower, sell out of the money puts. Fear of continued losses tends to push portfolio insurance prices up dramatically, while at the same time, the stock should bottom. It's not one to get greedy with. Hold on for a few days and as the implied volatility falls (hopefully with a nice dead cat bounce) exit out with a quick hit and run for profits. Otherwise, for longer-term investors, the best play is to wait until we are closer to the next earnings release for an entry.
