June 16, 2000: The Guild Meeting went ahead as planned with those in attendance being: Breeanne, Karnbor, Jude, Finrod, LeoII and Wildcat Man. Latecomers were: Zeuss, Furmanator, Barto and Elric.
Finrod and LeoII were voted in by the majority to become Regular Guild Members of CHB. Finrod is an Archer while LeoII is a Warrior. Both were asked to step forward and were given their new titles.
New Recruits are: Zarv, Barto and Wildcat Man. Zarv is a Mage, Barto a Mage and Wildcat Man is a Warrior.
Furmanator was asked to step before Breeanne and Karnbor where he was given a Questbook. He has asked to be advanced from a Regular Mage to a Sub-Chief Mage. He must complete all three Quests in his book by two weeks or the book becomes invalid.
The meeting itself went long because so many showed up after 9:30. I apologize for the length of the meeting. Hopefully at the next one there will be more of an agenda, I will have to start thinking of things we should be doing and mark my notes accordingly. Other then some grumbles about the house placing being delayed yet again and the usual bantering between guildmates, nothing else was discussed.
June 05, 2000: The monthly Guild meeting will be held next Monday, June 12 at approximately 9pm cst. It will be a completely open forum as I have no idea right now what to discuss but I'm sure you all might have things to banter about. Who knows, maybe we will be having the meeting in our new castle or tower. We can hope anyway.
I apologize for being so far behind on guild news and for not keeping up with many of you. Last month was not a very good one in real life so please have patience while I try to get my feet back under me. Thank you very much.

May 18, 2000: The Guild meeting went ahead even though I was not able to attend it. Unfortunately I have no real idea what was discussed so there is not much to put down here.
As you may have noticed, CHB has broken all alliances until and/or if there is an alliance section placed on the guildstones. You will no longer see anyone running about as an orange. This doesn't mean those guilds we were allied with are not our friends, just that we are following suit with so many others because of the new party system rules and the faction thing.
There were two individuals added to our guild that night when I did finally arrive. Finrod and LeoII are now part of our family so please greet them and introduce yourselves. Thank you.
Furmanator is interested in moving up in the mage ranks so a quest book will be given to him in the near future. His first goal is to become sub-chief. Wish him luck on his endeavor!
Still no news on when house placement will be allowed in Trammel. If anyone hears anything please send out a general message to all CHB or leave a message on the board. Thanks.
May 6, 2000: I received this in an ICQ message from Baramos of KR.
To all KR and our allies:
I'd like you all to know that since the UO:R patch makes it impossible to help anyone outside the guild since we have war alliances with other guilds, I'll be un-declaring all those wars as of tonight so we have more freedoms. The downside of course being that we can't loot our allies in Felucca, but the pros outweigh the cons in this matter.
This means that any KR you see shall no longer be orange to you. This also applies to FGB and FGR.
Other news: OSI has realized there are still many problems with the shards in general and several bugs in the game which have to be taken care of. Because of this they have delayed the housing patch for several weeks. This gives you more time to travel Trammel and see where you would like to live, plus gives you the chance to collect more gold in the hopes of acquiring a larger dwelling. We will let everyone know what is going on as OSI posts the news or we hear about it in IRC.
May 4, 2000: The regular monthly Guild meeting will be held Monday May 8, 2000 at approximately 9pm cst. If you recall, a vote was taken to change the meetings from the second Saturday of the month to the second Monday. As of this writing, the meeting will be held at the CHB Guildhouse located at the edge of the forest east of Britain in Felucca. Agenda as of now is: 1) the disbanding of Alliances until an alliance option is available on the Guildstone. (a vote will be taken) 2) house placing in Trammel. (where at & should we form a community) 3) the dismissing of vendors and closing of Felucca shops. (should we shouldn't we) 4) the placing of vendors and shops in Trammel. (should we shouldn't we) If there is time left or if anyone wishes to prolong the meeting, an open forum will be allowed to discuss anything else. Remember, this is your guild...please voice your opinions or make suggestions, everyone will be listened to. Thank you.
FGB and FGR have broken their alliances with us due to the difficulties in healing and adventuring with those they are at -war- with for alliance purposes. This does not mean they are not Guild Friends. Hopefully if an alliance option is placed on the Guildstone we will once again be allied with these two wonderful Guilds. I hope so anyway.
If anyone is in need of Trammel runes, please let me know. If you supply the runebooks and blank runes...I will have Noelle go and make you a complete book of Old Land towns. Currently I am working on the exploration of Old Land Dungeons and plan on marking for each room of interest. (ex: monster spawn rooms or areas that have transporters to other dungeon areas) I may or may not leave a message on the board for when I am going to start this. Perhaps some of you would like to join in. I am sure Noelle will need some fighters for backup while she marks. Something to think about at any rate.
Does anyone need Felucca moonstones? If so please let me know and I will either go searching for some myself or maybe the Guild can pool together to make sure everyone has at least a few.
Last but not least. Congratulations to TobarVII and Treah for Gming swords. If anyone else out there has Gm'ed something then this congratulation also includes you.
April 30, 2000: As you might have noticed the guildpage is undergoing some radical changes. Please bear with me as this takes time and I am not always in the mood to muddle through html or work on the page. Yes this part is back in working condition and I hope to put some current news on here soon. If you have anything you would like to see posted here, please leave me a message about it in icq -or- use my email address which is: Breeanne_Trueflight@yahoo.com. Thank you.
April 9, 2000: A congratulation goes out to -Lady- Heretic as she has made Glorious. Well done Milady!! Also, congratulations go out to all of you who have been working hard on gaining skills and meeting your goals. Bree and Raging Bull have gm'ed the mace. Bull also has gm'ed fencing. Asper has mastered tailoring and is a couple tenths of a point shy of gming it. I really need to work on setting up character pages for us with mastered and grandmastered skills listed. Someday...it may happen. Keep me posted on what you all are doing and as you gain I will make note of it here...thank you.
April 9, 2000: The monthly guildmeeting was held on Saturday the 8th at 9:10pm cst and those in attendance were: Breeanne, Heretic, Karnbor, Zeuss, Elric and Quin. Thank you to those who attended. The meeting was an open forum and several topics were discussed. They are listed below:
Heretic asked about us leaving the GLA. If you have noticed the initials are no longer in our titles. I have decided to pull us out of the alliance due to its inactivity and internal strife. I have also broken any alliances we had with those involved which were few to begin with. Now you will see less orange but are even more safe from those 'friendly' attacks you may have been hearing so much about.
Elric asked about Trammel and house placing. Yes, we would like to have our own community but we also have to face the fact that many others wish the same exact thing. It is not going to be an easy thing to do. -If-..and that's a big -if-..we get the castle placed chances are there will be no room to place a tower or any other large homes near it...which means we have to think of alternative placing. Any ideas? Time is running out folks...please make suggestions or comments on this if you really want it to happen.
Along the same line, Quin asked if we should all go into the test center and scout out placing areas. I thought that an interesting idea and would not mind spending an hour or two doing so. What about you?
Quin also asked that meetings be moved. A vote was taken and the majority approved to move the monthly meeting to the -second- Monday of the month at approximately 9pm cst. This was done so more could attend. It appears a few have trouble breaking away from the real world on Saturdays so we are trying to accommodate them. Please remember that the next meeting will be held on May 8th. I will leave a reminder as the time draws closer.
Karnbor commented about Allies. He believes we are doing an adequate job of backing them up and also thinks we should perhaps do a bit more to make sure we are answering their calls of distress.
I commented that several of our allies are heavily recruiting at this time. Zeuss made note of what I said and thinks we also should begin doing more to recruit others into our ranks. He also feels we should be...choosy...in who we let into our guild family, not let in just anyone for the sake of numbers. Many agreed with him on that so if anyone has a recommendation for someone to join, please contact me. Thank you.
Other things were bantered about good-naturedly but are truly of no consequence to the guild. The meeting was adjourned around 10pm cst with several members deciding to hunt the dreaded Ophidians in their lair.
