White Council Public Forum / A NEW player...
February 05, 2020, 02:21:53 PM
is looking to place a tile at Joline's hub. He plays from late afternoon UK time until well into the evening. His name is Llysander, so if Joline could give a shout out when in game that would be great, thanks.

Quote from: Shalimar on November 29, 2019, 12:50:42 PMWhen I put a name and/or number into the search bar it just searches the list I already have, and found your number there when Kael said what it was, since the name on it was deleted. If I don't already have the contact it just says 'not found', so the only option to add new contacts from my end is the dreaded phone number.

ICQ calls it a safety measure, I call it intrusive.

You'll soon have a contact list of your guild mates again.

Can you add a fake number or does it pick up on that?

I have no idea.

Quote from: Shalimar on November 26, 2019, 10:54:07 PMYou can get your old number back...

Alas, I tried but they told me it was deleted and no possibility of retrieving it per their TOS. 😔

I started a new one and will have to add contacts as I go. 😐

Feel free to add me! @Guinness (624190885)

That's a pity, they must have a time frame between making a person update ICQ and deleting their account altogether. I had come back to UO and had been using my original ICQ account when it happened to me so managed to retrieve it after going through their hoops.

The good thing about getting your old account back is that you have your old list of contacts. The bad thing about getting your old account back is that when adding someone new to your list you have to enter a phone number for them (I believe they make us update to the newest ICQ version, at least that's my experience) which I'm not comfortable asking for, so people have to add me rather than me add them. Are you able to add to your list without asking for phone numbers? If so, mine is 9-626-593 (Elaine)

Old versions of ICQ are much better and less invasive than the newer ones.

You can get your old number back. The same thing happened to me and quite a lot of other people. Since I am affiliated with NEW, and a lot of folk had my number, I wanted it back.

You have to contact those at ICQ, explaining that your password won't work anymore (mine was working fine one day and that evening it just stopped) then they ask you for a few names & numbers on your old list. After that, they ask you to have a few on your list message them to confirm it's your ICQ account. The last thing they ask for is a mobile/cell number and they tag that to your account. I didn't want to give them my usual everyday number so I bought a cheap phone and gave them the number from that. It's a palaver but if you want your original number back you can get it.

Welcome back to Siege. It's possible I have your icq but wouldn't be able to find it without knowing your icq name, I have a lot of old GIL players listed, but if your icq name is Guinness then I don't have it.

If you want to put your son into NEW for a month or so, just give us a shout in game or I can leave my icq on and Becca or someone can let me know.

Hi all, Hawkwood is 1 month old today and I have his grad box ready, but I will wait and see if he is accepted into Gilfane before I give it to him and let him go from NEW as I don't want to see him go off solo. His name is John Hawkwood in game.

Quote from: Shalimar on July 14, 2019, 05:49:39 PMVery simple Tjalle.

Torin said:'I would love to further on discuss/argue this with Shalimar on ICQ.'

I replied:'You will not have further discussions or arguments with Shalimar on ICQ about this non-issue, because I am not interested in discussing a public Siege discord with you in private, but feel free to discuss or argue it here - in public - for all to read and participate.'

It is called a paraphrase.

Notice, Tjalle, this was the only, sole, single, solitary instance I used the term. You can let your eyebrow come back down now.

You also did it in the title.
What was the purpose of this thread, Shal?


Meaning what? Branwyn and I are emulating Bo? Just look down the post list a little bit and you won't need me to explain.

Purpose of this thread: My intention to discourage any further sneaky, underhanded nonsense being sent to me.

Bonus of the thread: Becca and Max will speak about issues between GIL and VICE...win win.

@Torin  You will not have further discussions or arguments with Shalimar on ICQ about this non-issue, because I am not interested in discussing a public Siege discord with you in private, but feel free to discuss or argue it here - in public - for all to read and participate.

Max started the Siege discord as a service to the shard, that is the reason he is the owner of it.
The reason he made a NEW admin is because I took an interest and I got involved in promoting the Siege public discord.
Perhaps if one of your own guild mates took an interest and got involved GIL would have an admin on Siege discord as well.

What I would be interested in would be having Becca and Max get together and sort out some of the real issues between GIL and Vice.

When I turned on my icq today, I had messages from one of your members, sent yesterday. The messages were about Siege discord. The person who sent these messages to me said I should not be calling out in general chat for players to join it if I want NEW to be neutral, and leading NEW players to the Siege discord is even worse, because of 'those kind of comments Vice were posting' also, that in this players view it is Vice discord and not Siege discord.

Here is a copy of my reply to your guild mate: "It's Siege discord server, just as Siege stratics is for Siege, everyone can post. NEW is neutral, no changes there. If any comments bother you, just say so on the discord, don't tell me."

Welcome back Branwyn, it was nice to see you in-game last night.

It really is/will be a good way to get to know one another a little bit better. I haven't used the voice chat yet (my Glaswegian accent sounds abrupt at times and my nicey nicey  persona could be compromised heh). I did just put a little avatar pic in there though, which was my baddest hair day EVER!  My son wanted to go to 'fitba' training and had his left hand in a 'stookie' from a previous game so couldn't drive himself. I'd been playing around with some hair wavers and had to drive him right away, so I was yelling at him at the state I was in, being seen in public with mad hair etc,. and he took a pic of it just for posterity. It doesn't matter if anyone says 'geez, your hair is really bad there' it's only a pic and more importantly...UO is just a game. For anyone who remembers the SP.net site I had, that was brutal which is why I closed it, the discord is nothing like that, it's very mild and friendly.

White Council Public Forum / NEW Emissary
February 08, 2019, 02:48:38 PM
Hi, does Gilfane have a regularly active player they would be willing to have in NEW as an emissary? (crafter char would be fine) The player would of course have to be neutral toward other guilds/players when using the NEW char and simply be helpful in the way Hoffs and Bruin were in the past, accepting new players and whatever playstyle they will adopt. Someone who generally gets along with others on the shard would be preferable. We haven't had a whole lot of contact with Gilfane in the 6 months since I came back and I'd like to see your guild more involved if you're willing. We have a routine for guilding new players which I would go through with you and arrange for another emissary to be there while you guild your first couple of new players if necessary.
Also,
we have 2 NEW right now who are mainly German speakers and are friends of your guildmate Xavier. They want to join Gilfane to be with their friend and I've spoken to a few of your members about them, so if someone (preferably a German speaker) could speak with Xavier when he is on to arrange guilding Clara and Valerie that would be great.

If you'd like to help out by being a NEW emissary, my icq is 9-626-593 (Elaine) pm here or stratics, or just give me a shout in game.

Thanks,
Shal
