Date: 7/31/2008 2:38:31 PM

BEELA, CURATOR OF THE STORMBROW GALLERY, INVITES ALL ARTISTS TO SUBMIT WORKS FOR CONSIDERATION FOR DISPLAY IN THE CULTURAL ROOM OF THE MUSEUM!
This contest is intended to spark new ideas. If you have something already in existence that you wish to donate, and have missed the previous donation times, please email me at GS4-LIIA@PLAY.NET with the item description. Your subject line should read STORMBROW DONATION.

Submission criteria:

Allowable types of arts and crafts:

*Paintings depicting daily life or cultural aspects of Kharam Dzu and Teras Isle
*Sculptures depicting daily life or cultural aspects of Kharam Dzu and Teras Isle
*Traditional dwarven or Terasian clothing
*Traditional dwarven or Terasian jewelry
*Other obviously traditional dwarven or Terasian "fluff" items that would depict the same

Technical requirements:

*Items must have a 15/15/15 base description AND a show. Items must show cultural and/or daily life aspects of Teras Isle. The items should be current day and age, not of historical significance. For example, a painting of someone feeding the Mule at the statue would be current; a painting of a dinner on Ghorsa's air balloon would not.
*Weapons and armor are not included for the purposes of this contest.
*The deadline for submissions is FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 2008. More than one submission per person is allowable.

Email all submissions to GS4-LIIA@PLAY.NET with MUSEUM CULTURAL ART CONTEST as the subject. Please send a separate email for each item you wish to enter. Include your character AND account name with each submission.

Winners will be chosen based on creativity, appropriate content, accuracy based on in-game existences and/or official documentation, and standard game policy. GM Liia reserves the right to tweak the winning submissions for QC approval. Winning entries will be displayed in the Stormbrow Gallery with recognition of the artist. You do NOT have to be a Teras citizen to participate!

Attention all Vaalor elves! To better reflect your superior Vaalorian nature, you now have a newfangled way to SCREAM, GIGGLE, TURN, or SALUTE. Note that these new options are only available to those elves of the Vaalorian culture. Feel free to use VERB INFO SCREAM, VERB INFO GIGGLE, VERB INFO TURN, and VERB INFO SALUTE to see the new options, as well as various verb HELP options to see the new usage and how to set your verb preference. Enjoy!

ISP Maintenance Tonight!

Author: SIMU-SOLOMON
Date: 7/28/2008 4:25:16 PM

SAVVIS (that's our ISP) has identified an issue with a network device that aggregates connections (that's you!) to customer locations in the Saint Louis area (that's us!).

The maintenance will clear an error that, if not addressed, could (Could? Hah!) cause service related issues.

This maintenance is scheduled to begin at 00:01 CDT on 07/29/08 and will be completed by 05:00 CDT on 07/29/08. In this window, SAVVIS engineers will be replacing defective hardware from a local backbone router.

Customers (that's us! and you!) may experience service outages (down!), latency (lag!), or other connectivity issues (dropped!) as the work is completed.
