Darkfall: Alliances and War
Since the writing of my last entry, massive battles have broken out across Agon, and with these battles, the formation of alliances are starting to shape the political landscape. In a previous entry, I mentioned the web of guild relations and the possibility of a political map to help everyone understand it. Apparently the Darkfall community has decided to take matters into their own hands and we are starting to see the community try to understand where the lines are drawn.
When you look at the larger map (Special thanks to Venatar from Societas Daemonica) , you can see the workings of what appears to be geopolitical relationships in some areas of the world. Specifically, the 4 sub-continents seems to have certain guilds who are working together in alliance to either fully control certain land masses, or who are bent on conquering them by driving off other guilds.
This very situation manifested itself over the weekend when one of the guilds on Nilfheim (Ice Island) became the target of a massive assault that brought hundreds of players to their city looking to retaliate against them for previous attacks. While the attackers inflicted massive damage to all of the structures, without a formal challenge, the city's ownership remained intact. The next day a formal challenge was issued, but this time the defenders were able to rally a coalition of their own and managed to hold off onto their city. Needless to say, the server was pushed to the limits and in some cases beyond leading to some people in the 300 man battle to suffer random disconnects.
The Challenge
In order for a city or hamlet to change ownership, and challenge must be issued by one guild to another. When the challenge is issued, it lasts for a period of 6 hours that is divided into 2 stages. During the first stage (4 Hours), the guild that issued the challenge will have its own city or hamlet vulnerable and up for grabs. This adds what can be a substantial risk to picking a fight with another guild as you can rest assured that that they will try to rally their allies to derail the attack at the issuer's city. Once that stage expires, the challengers will then be able to commence their assault on their target (2 Hours). If at any time during this entire challenge the guild leader who issues the challenge is killed or goes offline, it is considered a loss and the challenge ends. There is also a monetary price that I will touch more on later, but guilds issuing challenges who do not own land will need to pony up a large amount of gold to compensate for the risk factor. If they win they keep the gold, if they lose the enemy keeps it.
My Siege Story
I'll try to put some of this into context from my first siege experience which happened over the weekend. One of our allies decided they wanted to target a specific enemy city on a nearby remote island because one of its resources was a harbor, and they belonged to another alliance of guilds that they have an unfavorable view towards. The challenge was issued by our ally, and our first order of business was to assist in the defense of their city and protection of the guild leader until we could progress to the attack stage.
We all decided to saddle up and put on our Sunday's finest gear because after all, this is the type of situation we play for. As a hamlet owner, we found the city to be awe striking in both size and complexity. Upon arrival we saw the walls were lined with people on every side, and this particular city has large cannon towers on each side. I was able to take control of the cannon for a short period of time just to see what it was like, and it reminded me much like sitting in a turret seat in an FPS game. The guild leader who issued the challenge was held up in a very large keep, and the entrance leading into it was blocked by rows of people in the event someone breached the outer wall.
Since we showed up to the city in the tail end of the defense stage, we didn't really see any action as the enemy was making their own preparations for the likely assault we were getting ready to mount. There were probably upwards of around 200 people on our side inside making preparations, and my PC handled it better than I thought, although there were many in my guild who experienced some crashes and had to turn down settings. I found that I only had to turn down the number of sounds in the audio options, and I was surprised how well the client handled this number of people in such a small geographical area.
As the defense stage came to end, the challenge issuing guild began to hand out siege hammers at their bank to all who could take one. This was one aspect of the monetary costs I mentioned earlier, as these are the main tool for destroying structures at this stage in the game's life. Buildings in Darkfall can't be destroyed with normal weapons and magic, only by siege related equipment, so these hammers are the main tool being used since nobody is far enough along to roll out war hulks and large boats.
We soon traveled to the coast nearby and started making our way from island to island. I have to say it was definitely a sight to remember seeing so many people at once moving together as a large mass and some people even brought rafts along to make the trip easier. Unfortunately during this leg of the journey, some of the minor random disconnects that hit us earlier become a bit more frequent. Some of the people who ended up being dropped while in the water logged back in to find themselves back at their bindstone miles away from the battle.
It was at this point that tragedy struck. Among the large group of people who experienced a disconnect, was the challenge issuer. The current rules state that if that person goes offline at any time during the challenge, it counts at a loss. Needless to say there was a lot of anger and frustration on the part of the challenger. The previous 4 hours defending, the organization getting the army together, and the extremely high monetary cost all were wasted. A source from Aventurine tells me they are aware of the issue and looking at ways to make this aspect easier, so we can only hope that some changes to this part of the mechanic are considered to prevent future unintended forfeits.
Despite the upsetting setback, the remainder of us decided to keep going just to see what happens. As I was marveling at the sheer number of people we had, I wondered if it was really going to be necessary. When I finally arrived at the enemy city, I was in amazement at how many people were there waiting for us in a defensive position as the city was located atop a cliff (reports are upwards of 200). We were greeted by the largest volley of magic that I had ever seen, it reminded me of a scene from Star Wars with all the energy flying through the air, no screenshot or words I can say will ever really do it justice.
The enemy alliance had one of its guilds try to attack from behind, but the accidentally tipped their hand too soon and were discovered. With our numbers diminished from the disconnects and all the plasma flying at us from the well defended city, we decided to make the most of the situation and turn our focus to the guild trying to flank us. This led to an initial melee that quickly had them retreating into a chase that went into the ocean and nearby islands. The result was widespread fighting and chaos that left many of them dead, and quickly stripped naked of their belongings.
Apparently hell bent on getting every last one of these guys, someone on my side dropped a raft into the water where literally a dozen guys packed onto it, effectively chasing down and shooting at anyone who was still left alive. After we finished them off, most of the force decided to recall home and reflect on the evenings events. I have to say that despite how much it sucked to lose the challenge, many of us still had an experience that we will remember for a long time to come. Hopefully Aventurine will continue to evaluate and make changes to help streamline the siege process to prevent future incidents from occurring.

There are few games that have this level of political conflict. Most PvP games are "We are on this side and you are on this side, k?" ZZZ
It's really refreshing to see this coming back into gaming and I hope if future companies take ANYTHING from Darkfall, it's this key element of this game. This lends so much to adventure and real memories of playing other than charging bosses solo for dares, hehe.
Another good write, thx again Paragus.
Tue Mar 24 2009 2:04PM ReportHmm, this sounds more organized than I had expected. Looks like people will be having allot of fun in Dark Fall.
Tue Mar 24 2009 4:08PM ReportI think the political system is very complex and neat, but I do not understand the siege agreement/rules. I mean why do you have to "challenge" another city/town before you attack it? This destroys the element of surprise and totally misinterprets a siege. The only cost for a siege should be the money you actually spend, the defenders (if they are successful) shouldn't acquire the "challenge" money (disregarding the loot money, which victors should have). Besides the particulars, I think that Darkfall has a pretty cool siege system--at least the best to date (or that I can think of). I fear that the annoying, technical flaws could frustrate players too much....that's why I'm waiting for Mortal Online ( I think it will be a Darkfall but with less technical issues and mistakes).
Tue Mar 24 2009 5:22PM ReportI like the idea of a cost for a challenge (in real war, there is a cost for declaring and going to war) because it gives the attacking team real incentive to actually fight and not run away, or they lose their gold. The defending team obviously has motivation not to lose their city.
I do not like the part where the challenging guy d/cs and the other 200 pay the price. They definitely have to fix that one. It should be set up in stages: perhaps a list of 10 people who is in succession. Kind of like if the Pres dies, then Vp, then Speaker of the House, etc etc.
This won't solve it if they ALL go down, so they still need to work on that. But one person d/cing is bad of course. But the concept is really exciting.
Wed Mar 25 2009 12:17AM ReportGood write up. Sorry to hear that you forfeited due to technical reasons, though I assume the defenders didn't shed to many tears because of it. :)
I agree that AV need to relook at the mechanic whereby a single player's technical misfortune ends up costing the whole team their prize and I assume this is probably a very high priority for them as many alliances are starting to declare seiges on a daily basis. I noticed at least 2 cities changed hands during Euro Prime, last night.
Wed Mar 25 2009 4:44AM Report
Fantastic report, thx.
This sounds all well thought through by Aventurine, regarding challenges, timing etc.
Seems like a lot of people involved for - how many towns/hamlets? - 4 or so? Must be a pretty big population on the world looking at the map. I thought you people were far fewer.
Damn, I hope this game will do well, even if I never get to play it, the mmorpg -community needs something like this.
Wed Mar 25 2009 8:02AM ReportVery well written.
I want to throw out that one of your guildies 'Raw Dog' was attacking me and my friend as we passed your city (we are mahirims) in the end I fought back a bit and he left us, later he followed us out on his mount just jumping around us so I hit his mount a few times then he threatened to kill us if we did it again.
Are you guys a full on PK clan? only asked because I dont particually want to fight with other mahirims.
Wed Mar 25 2009 9:05AM ReportWe are not a "red" clan. That being said, it is not uncommon for us to attack people who wander close or into our city. Like many guilds, our city is a place people spend time harvesting, and our location seems to get a lot of traffic from hostiles, which sometimes includes members of our racial faction. What guild are you in?
Wed Mar 25 2009 9:14AM ReportWarhammer sieges have no risk involved at all. If you die, you lose nothing and run right back in about 30 seconds. If you win, you have virtually gained nothing since forts can be flipped in a matter of a few minutes. All of the castles in Warhammer are almost exact carbon copies of each other in almost every way. If you have attacked 1 keep in Warhammer, you have pretty much attacked them all.
Wed Mar 25 2009 12:35PM ReportThe thing is yo ve clicked your mouse button once you ve clicked them all. See what I did there. DFO isn t better then WAR and definately not better then the best pvp(rvr) game around DAOC. It sounds all good but it s not trust me played it quite awhile.
Wed Mar 25 2009 4:18PM ReportBest thing about Darkfall is that they are only just beginning. I like that they are controlling numbers in the game, and once they have sorted some things out it will be fun. Perhaps they should make it three people not 1 as a "war counsel", any two of whom must be online continuously for the duration + two out of three must live.
This sounds much more like proper PvP - which to my mind is really only currently about in EVE. There are big risks, and big rewards, to taking and controlling ground. Any game without corpse looting just isn't in the same space of risk, and without the risk the taste of success will never be as sweet.
Wed Mar 25 2009 5:03PM ReportParagus, turn off the bloody post processing. It will help you lots, including visually and by framerate.
Anyway, shame the siege failed. Tempest considered teaming up for KC's demise, but never got anything going. Seeing as KC is always a large part of the 3 AM raids on our city, including the exploiting of our cannon to destroy our bank, we look forward to any effort that hurts them. It will come soon enough. Anyway, if your guild is interested in helping the war effort against the bane of ice island, let us know. You can msg Arch Type.
And, I'm sure the alliance would definitely be interested in installing a friendly guild in KC's city.

Wed Mar 25 2009 8:02PM ReportI rather had seen more temp alliance then these huge careebar zergs who have only one goal rule whole world.
Best scenario would have been many clans spread all over agon fight to survive now lod goon dusk or hyperion deside we want that hamlet-city and they come with zerg force 1500 and just take it all with no sweat:(
Mark my words this will happen.
lod goons dusk togheter wtf, when conquer all what then.
For now it seems fun but if this continuing soon only few left rest can s....balls.
Carebear and boring zergfest soon most never will own a city ever in few monthstime they all occupide by maybe 2 or 3 huge zerg forces.
So many a crabear realy a shame:(
Thu Mar 26 2009 1:10PM ReportGreat to read up with what is going on with Darkfall, just curious about those city's you mention being attacked or defended, these are player made city's, your other article talked about city's and housing, seeing the cost, time to harvest, even gaining the mats, how come there seem several city's around?
Could this be due to many into Darkfall parhaps 24/7?
Or....it's so easy to harvest/collect/craft?
Or....are they called and being build into city's yet have only a few defences up and perhaps a few houses but not yet city worthy, but soon will be?
Anyway keep up the good work, highly enjoying it as it is very well written and puts me into the situation even not really being there. So yeah you got some written skills there ;)
Thu Mar 26 2009 2:58PM Report@ Reklaw
Yes, all of these cities and hamlets are the ones built up by guilds on land they were able to claim. It is not terribly hard to get the resources together if your guild is focused on that goal. Realize that lot of the guilds that hold the cities (not hamlets) have rosters of upwards of 70-100 active players. Harvesting, while tedius at times, is also raises your base stats like Strength, Wisdom, Vitality etc.
Thu Mar 26 2009 3:03PM ReportI already cancelled my subscription for this pile of garbage.
This is the worste MMORPG I've ever played in my 10 years of gaming. It's nothing more than a badly done combat simulator with horrible animations and sound.. and mindless click fest combat.
No content..
No features..
Shitty graphics..
Shitty animations..
Shityy sound / music...
This game will be totally dead soon after everyone gets bored to hell with doing nothing but PK'ing each other over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
I can do that in QuakLive... for free.
Thu Mar 26 2009 3:09PM Report
What stops a guild with alliances to takeover the key cities and keep everyone else from having them? I feel at some point once you have grown to a point where you feel as a guild and your alliances that nothing will stop you in owning most of the world. Or just the most important parts of the world. If this game was made with more up to date technology instead of about 8 years ago, I feel this game would have a huge appeal and wouldn't not of came out as a limited release. More risk than reward may be their issue here but we will see.
Thu Mar 26 2009 3:23PM Report@ Jakeadunk
There seems to be a sort of Darkfall karma, what goes around comes around. The first battle I talked about in the article on the Ice Island was against a certain guild which is generally disliked by large portions of the server. This prompted everyone who didn't like them to join in for the torching of their city assets. There are a lot more people and guilds in the game that are not on that map, and when we all get angry at someone, it can be a force to be feared.
Thu Mar 26 2009 3:37PM Reportshadowbane had shitpoor graphics and an insane amount of sb.exe problems...yet that game was one of the most fun mmo's i've ever played....complaining about graphics is such a moot topic because in todays mmo's it's usually graphics over gameplay...age of conan anyone?
hey look asheron's call has shitty graphics yet the pvp in that game (back in the day) was some of the best out there...pre-trammel uo anyone?
pre-exodus eve anyone? yarr!
complaining that darkfall is a mindless click fest is no different then saying wow is a keyboard crunch...key after key after key...stop complaining and make something innovative yourselves...like make it possible for me to pvp with just my cock....are you going to complain that games are nothing more then sausage fests then?
stfu and play darkfall it's about damn time a game like this was released.
Thu Mar 26 2009 3:37PM ReportAwesome writeup as usual Paragus, makes me feel like logging in, havent inawhile b/c of real-life issues
Good job making yet another alias today, just to post some more trash
great credibility there nerd
try harder next time
Thu Mar 26 2009 3:45PM ReportIt does sound fun... to bad it looks like shit and doesn't run much better. :(
Thu Mar 26 2009 4:08PM ReportHarlington your a obvious troll im 100% positive you have never played Darkfall you just a hater read up alot of what's mentioned on forum and come with cliche points that almost ever hater come up with that he have heared over the past few weeks.
Offcorse there are many things that need fixing im last to say its perfect game, but name a game that have same kind world world and gameplay its still by far better then al those THEMEPARK GAMES?
And animation are fine game looks great pvp is fun, they are working on many things that need fixing but there small team this takes time to fix.
Thu Mar 26 2009 4:28PM ReportFun stuff, had that experience in DAoC with a highly disciplined alliance :
There's nothing more EXHILARATING than running with a pack of 100 =experienced= and =organized= fighters thru enemy territory at night, In Formation, with everyone assigned a position, from point to front side/back side to rear guard to shielding the priests and mages, etc.; monitoring the combat channel, chewing thru random skirmishes along the way LIKE A MACHINE !
Talk about suspension of disbelief, it really is an amazing experience, i had goosebumps. You. Are. THERE!
(loop your favorite fantasy film soundtrack in the background for added immersion)
Thu Mar 26 2009 7:56PM Reportthis sounds epic.. i think every "major" mmo is for kids.. with their casual shit
Fri Mar 27 2009 2:20AM ReportThis game has no Immersion, clunky graphics and extremely poor customer support.
Other than that, they need your money to make it great, so please invest in Darkfall, I really want to play it more!!
Fri Mar 27 2009 3:00AM ReportYes sure, i could also spent some beer for the developers. Have checked and really don't love it. TO MUCH freedom especially to much freedom to kill other players. This is nothing i would spent my time that is really stacked for my person.
Fri Mar 27 2009 3:15AM ReportEvasia I am pretty sure you're a deluded fanboy with your nose stuck so far up Tasos' ass that you can't even think straight anymore.
This game is a total pile of garbage. The production quality is barely above shareware quality. And even worse than most free to play item Mall MMO's.
The game is barely worth $5 / month.. yet they're trying to charge $15.00 / month because they are broke... only a total FOOL would pay $15 / month for this junk and support some of the most terrible developers in the history of MMO gaming.
Fri Mar 27 2009 5:49AM ReportOh by the way, i am unsure if you have turned off the black outline settings or not. In the first 2 screenshot there are no black outlines to be seen and in the latter there are. The outlines make the game look like shit imo so i'd recomend anyone playing to turn them off.
Fri Mar 27 2009 11:00PM ReportNice post ,keep up the updates for those of us who don't have the game yet but will be trying it :)

Bad Quality, Hours to Assemble
By Patrick W. from Dauphin Island, AL on Jul 08, 2011
I bought this piece based on the reviews. The reviewers said it was good quality and easy to put together. The manufacturer should have been more specific about how difficult it was to assemble. I should have known by how inexpensive it was not to buy it. When you open the box, there are a million pieces and a book of instructions. The material is cheap and flimsy. Spend $100 more dollars and get another piece.

Falls athletes played for Wisconsin in youth all-star football series
Team advanced to second round
Longtime Menomonee Falls/Germantown girls gymnastics coach Tracy Howard is used to guiding, teaching and passing along her wisdom and knowledge to her athletes and seeing them succeed.
It's been quite a bit different for her in recent years to have her own sons be coached by others and then succeeding on their own terms, such as when sons Danny (a linebacker) and Tommy (a cornerback) along with fellow Falls resident Josh Lamp (lineman) were recently selected to compete for Team Wisconsin in the Football University National Championships.
Publicists for the FBU National Championship say it is a version of Little League World Series meets March Madness.
The FBU National Championship kicked off Dec. 1 at various locations across America with the winners advancing in single-elimination fashion from a field that included 64 state-based teams. The first four rounds took place at regional sites and the semifinals and championship were held Jan. 5 and 6, respectively, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, as part of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl week celebration.
Expanded to 64 teams
This year's tournament was the largest youth football tournament ever put together, featuring an expansion to 64 teams nationwide, including more than 250 games, 6,000 athletes and 1,200 coaches. The tournament will showcase 250 games through a four-week period, resulting in more than 1,000 hours of content.
All-American Games also produced a "Sports Center" style studio show, providing detailed, round-by-round updates and news, hosted by longtime national TV/radio announcer Neil Sika. All-American Games executives are currently in discussions with numerous web and broadcast partners. With webcasts of each game along with the studio show, All-American Games planned to produce more than 350 hours of content.
The FBU National Championship is produced by All American Games and its national training academy, Football University (FBU). The seventh- and eighth-grade teams are comprised of the top 35 all-star athletes from various regions throughout the United States, who tried out for the various seventh- or eighth-grade regional teams.
Athletes were identified through FBU's network of state tournament directors from more than 40 FBU camps in various U.S. cities, and through those nominated on the tournament's page located at www.footballuniversity.org.
Recruited to the team
"Danny and Tommy were spotted at a Menomonee Falls Jr. Indians seventh-grade football game by a coach of the FBU team," Tracy Howard said. "They needed more quality athletes for specific positions after the tryouts. They were invited to be a part of it. Josh Lamp went to a football camp at Whitewater this past summer and they needed more linemen, so he was invited. The normal protocol is a tryout to make the team or by invitation only.
"Wisconsin had kids from Green Bay, Waukesha, Racine, Oak Creek, Madison and several other cities throughout Wisconsin. All states are a composite of kids that tried out for positions or were invited to be on the team. Our regional was Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Iowa."
The regional was held at Valley Stadium in West Des Moines, Iowa. If Wisconsin had won the regional, it would have moved onto a super regional in Kansas City, Missouri.
Wisconsin split its two games in the regional, beating Minnesota, 12-2 but losing to Iowa, 19-0.
Tommy Howard had a key interception against Minnesota, and both he and Danny Howard were selected to be captains for the Iowa game.
Lamp played a key role on both the offensive and defensive lines.
Though the team, nicknamed the "Ducks," was disappointed that it could not advance further in the competition, Howard said her sons were happy that they took part.
"The whole experience was positive, from quality practices to high level competition," she said.

Incorporating Asset Liquidity Effects in Risk-Capital Modeling
Recent turmoil in financial markets endorses the need for rigorous handling and integration of asset liquidity risk into Value-at-Risk (VaR) models. In this work we develop and test measures of certain kinds of asset liquidity risk that is useful for completing the definition of market risk and for predicting liquidity-adjusted VaR under adverse market conditions. This paper presents a practical simulation framework for the modeling of asset liquidity risk for portfolios that consist of multiple long and short trading assets. We put forward a method whereby the holding periods are adjusted according to the specific needs of each trading portfolio by explicitly modeling a linearly-distributed liquidation scheme by means of a pertinent scaling multiplier. The empirical testing is achieved using daily return data of emerging Gulf-Cooperation-Council (GCC) stock markets. We simulate and analyze different relevant portfolios (of both long and short-sales trading positions) and determine the risk-capital exposure under varied illiquid and adverse market conditions.

How to Set Up Surround Sound Speakers:
The following is a how to for setting up your home theater surround sound speaker system for a soul-shattering effect. The article is set up specifically for optimizing your living room, den or entertainment room and does not deal with specific installation- Place the left and right front speakers in an equilateral triangle with your viewing seat, closer to the viewing seat than the television is, unless you have no center channel speaker. Toe in (angle) the left and right front speakers up to 30 degrees so that most sound seems to be coming from the television
- If you don't have a center channel speaker, place the front speakers next to the television
- Place the center channel speaker close to the television - on top or in the same cabinet if possible
- Set up the subwoofer anywhere you have room
- Set up the rear speakers behind and to the sides of the viewing seat. Place them higher than the front speakers
- Aim the rear speakers at each other
How to Install a Home Speaker:
Installing a home stereo speaker or set of speakers is often the last task standing in your way of enjoying a new stereo system. All you really want to do is put in your favorite music, sit down and listen. Instead, you're standing in your living room with a handful of loose wires trying to figure out how to get the speaker installed properly. While it can be confusing the first time, installing a home stereo speaker doesn't require too much skill or knowledge- Determine where you want the speaker(s) placed. This depends on the layout of your room, design of your speakers and personal preference. In a simple stereo configuration, put the left and right speakers in each corner of the wall in front of the listening position (couch or chair). They should be a foot or two away from the wall. Angle them toward the listening position. The acoustics and organization of your room may require different set up
- Get the correct speaker cable. Measure out the distance from your receiver/amplifier to each speaker and purchase an appropriately sized speaker cable. For most accurate measurement, run some string along the path where the wire will run and measure it. If you're using a spool, cut the speaker cable to size
- Connect the speaker to your receiver or amplifier. Use the appropriate (left or right) speaker output on the back of the receiver. Connect one individual wire from your speaker cable to the positive terminal and one to the negative terminal. Run the speaker cable to the speaker, and connect the positive wire to the positive input terminal and the negative to the negative input terminal. Be sure that the polarities of the receiver and speaker correctly align. You can use connector plugs or simply clamp the bare wire into the terminals
- Set up the speakers in the receiver/preamplifier menu. Refer to your user's manual for instructions on how to set speakers as "Large" or "Small" on your receiver
- Picture color is for reference only, please look the product name as the standard

This major new anthology of Anglican spiritual writings was compiled by a trio of the Church's most widely respected scholars.
The selections demonstrate by example the Anglican tenet that different strands of spirituality can be held together in a creative tension that enhances the overall strength of the church. Their variety reflects the worldwide nature of the Anglican communion and includes men and women authors from such places as the United Kingdom, the United States, India, Australia, Sri Lanka and Tanzania.
This volume is a shining witness to the impact that Anglican spirituality has had on Christianity throughout the world. Featuring a broad spectrum of literary genres (letters, devotional essays, poetry, reflections on the Scriptures, etc.) it will make a superb reference work.

Seoul, South Korea North Korea agreed today to allow South Koreans working in a joint industrial zone in North Korea to cross the border after Pyongyang's move to cut the last military hot line to Seoul left hundreds stranded overnight, officials said.
North Korea put its troops on alert and cut the hot line Monday as the American and South Korean militaries began joint maneuvers. The communist regime warned that even the slightest provocation could trigger war during the 12-day drills.
The North stressed that provocation would include any attempt to interfere with its impending launch of a satellite into orbit. U.S. and Japanese officials fear the launch could be a cover for a test of a long-range attack missile and have suggested they might move to intercept the rocket.
The North has been on a steady retreat from reconciliation since President Lee Myung-bak took office in the South a year ago. After Lee said the North must continue dismantling its nuclear program if it wants aid, Pyongyang cut ties, suspended joint projects and stepped up its belligerence rhetoric.

Membership recruitment will continue to be a top priority for 2015. I have appointed Assistant Rabban Noble Blaine Brooks and Boss Clown Noble Will Johnston as co-chairs of the Membership Committee. They will be visiting each Club and giving presentations. You are encouraged to arrange for a "Blue Lodge Buddy Night." The Membership committee will be there to help. As Shriners and leaders, it is our responsibility to guide others so that they achieve the same emotion, pride and fellowship we experience as Shriners. When we do, our organization will prosper.
Sincere thanks to Ill. Sir L. Barry Mabey for a tremendous 2014. Under his stewardship we were able to purchase our own building. The new Luxor Shrine Center located at 14 McLaughlin Crescent in Saint John will serve us well and is there for use by all Shriners. We had a profitable year and Lady Karen once again lead the Harley Draw presenting Luxor with a $27,000 cheque.
The Installation ceremony and Potentate's Banquet was very well attended and was enjoyed by all. Many thanks to the members of the Ceremonial Cast and all the Nobles who pitched in to make both events the success it was.
Please check this website frequently for information throughout the year. Our next event is the annual Shrine/Mason Curling Funspiel in Moncton on Saturday February 21st. Registration can be found under the News & Events tab.
The NSA Mid-Winter Meeting is in Lewiston/Auburn Maine, March 12-15. As Luxor will be hosting the NSA in 2016, it would be a good idea to have as many Nobles attend to learn what needs to be done. Registration form is available from Shelley at the Shrine office.
June 5 – 6 is our 2015 Spring Ceremonial & Stated Meeting which is being held in Moncton. More information for this fun weekend will be forthcoming soon.
Keep up the good work Nobles. Our Hospitals and children need us.
