Real Life THB Meet July 25, 2009

Elsheindra — 2009-06-17T12:50:43+00:00

Basil (Roses of Dawn) and Elsheindra (The One) will be hosting this summer's repeat excursion to Bletchley Park on July 25th, with a BBQ to follow at their London home after. See all the event details on the wiki.

Closures Due to Sites Moving During May

Elsheindra — 2009-05-13T12:20:17+00:00

The WoWKindness wiki site (http://www.wowkindness.com/confluence) has been running with a message saying it's closed since the end of April. As you probably know, it's been increasingly unreliable, which I've mostly chalked up to the antiquated hardware and operating system we've been running it on (the server's over 8 years old!)

I'm currently in the progress of moving all of my personal sites, which includes WoWKindness, the THB materials, Eingang.org etc to a new machine running a modern version of Linux. However, this isn't commercially managed hosting, so I need to install and configure everything myself. I did most of everything web-related last month, but I'm still finishing off the e-mail bits (the most complicated part!).

In the meantime, no postings or updates can be made on WoWKindness. We're also not accepting applications. Stay tuned for further announcements!

The Wrath Has Come & We're Looking For You

Elsheindra — 2009-01-25T13:23:47+00:00

Of course you already knew the Wrath was come. The One is still a happy little place to be and we want more like-minded people who are looking for a friendly guild who loves to dance and play with fireworks. If that's you, have a look at our philosophy and rules, then consider joining us!. Apply online or talk to Elsheindra, Popcorn, or Kari* in game.

Maggie, Gruul, Tempest Keep, O My!

Elsheindra — 2008-07-26T22:14:46+00:00

If you haven't visited an Honourbound raid run lately or been paying attention, you might not know that Basil and Cannonfodder have been busy. During our traditionally slow summer months, we've surprisingly been able to field regular 25-person runs to Gruul's Lair and Magtheridon. Both Gruul and Magtheridon are being downed regularly on Sunday evenings, leaving Tempest Keep open for Tuesday's THB run.

Catch some Magtheridon THB action in Phoebus's movie and Gruul's Lair in Jeanda's movie.

Nice work, everyone!

Recruiting Open

Elsheindra — 2008-05-09T09:48:16+00:00

The One is once again accepting applications for a limited number of new members. If you're a happy, social, and helpful player, especially one who likes to dance, this might the guild for you! While we are not a raiding guild, there are some opportunities for regular raiding available.

So if you're based on Europe's Thunderhorn server and interested in applying, check out our info on joining and submit an application today.

The One is a proud member of The Honourbound Alliance.

Honourbound & WoWKindness Content Moves

Elsheindra — 2008-04-02T02:55:37+00:00

The Honourbound pages maintained on The One's WoWKindness wiki and the WoWKindness wiki have moved! In an effort to correct the blank pages being removed, the wiki was completely reinstalled with a brand new Tomcat application server engine as per Atlassian's suggestion. As a consequence, one of the things I could now do was configure a transparent proxy between the Tomcat server and the main Apache server for WoWKindness. In English: No more :8080 in all the wiki addresses!

All the important addresses can be found on the THB Guilds, Representatives, and Web Sites page, but I've summarized our common shortcut addresses here:

Honourbound Information Pages Index: http://www.wowkindness.com/thb/ (or http://www.honourbound.org/thb/)
Honourbound Leader Forum: http://www.wowkindness.com/lthb/ (or http://www.honourbound.org/lthb/)
Honourbound GEM Calendar: http://www.wowkindness.com/calendar/ (or http://www.honourbound.org/calendar/
Honourbound Raid Stats: http://www.wowkindness.com/stats/ (or http://www.honourbound.org/stats/
The One's Wiki/Forum: http://www.wowkindness.com/wiki/ (or http://www.wowkindness.com/confluence)

The links at the top of all pages have been updated (or should be). There may be things here and there that don't work. I'll address those in time. There's a message posted at the original wiki/forum to direct people here.

Recruiting Is Currently Closed

Elsheindra — 2008-03-09T22:58:20+00:00

Our Initiate Hall is full! The One is not currently accepting an new candidates for membership. Our reputation on Thunderhorn is spreading far and wide, and we've accepted many new people in the last month. In order to properly assimilate and build our Guild Community, it is necessary to take a breather and work with what we have. A message will be posted here to announce that we are once again accepting initiates for consideration. Thank you for your patience and your interest in promoting Random Acts of Kindness on Thunderhorn with The One!

Honourbound Password Has Changed

Elsheindra — 2008-01-01T02:00:00+00:00

Recruiting Is Open

Elsheindra — 2007-12-05T11:05:57+00:00

The One is pleased to announce that it is once again accepting applications for new candidates to join the guild. Please note, however, that the guild has almost reached its target size of 50 members, after which we will no longer be recruiting in order to keep the small, friendly feel of the guild intact. Happy applying!

Wiki/Dashboard, Forums & THB Leaders Forums Broken

Elsheindra — 2007-11-06T17:29:06+00:00

If you're having problems logging in or getting blank pages from the forums, THB Leader Forum, or other parts of the Wiki, it's because there's a technical issue with the caching system for the Wiki. I've filed a support request with Atlassian, the software developer. In the meantime, there's not much I can do about it. I do, however, note that pages refusing to load one minute may load a few minutes later if you attempt to visit them again.

New GEM Release. Everyone Must Update!

Elsheindra — 2007-10-30T16:43:35+00:00

There is a new version of the Guild Event Manager (GEM) software that the Honourbound Alliance uses to coordinate shared raid, social, and instance events. The 2.27 release attempts to address the recent lost sends experienced by THB members in both their guild channels and in the shared Honourbound channel, as described in my earlier news posting about New Chat Bug & GEM Problems from October 25th.

The new release attempts to solve the problem by increasing the amount of time GEM must wait between sending messages. Note, these are not the messages you are typing. The mod itself works by sending messages to the Honourbound channel. You don't see these mod messages because your mod filters them out and uses them to update your copy of the GEM events calendar. Due to the way information is shared, it's vitally important that everyone update. People who don't update will still lose information which will result in their copies of the event calendar being wrong and then shared incorrectly with other people, continuing to cause events to disappear or people not to appear signed up, etc.

You can update by downloading a copy from one of the following locations:
- GEM author's home page
- GEM Mod Page on WoWKindness

Update: 2.27 has been replaced by 2.28 as of November 12th.

Rianna Promoted To Officer

Elsheindra — 2007-07-11T11:28:23+00:00

I'm happy to announce that Rianna has agreed to attempt to fill the missing shoes of our beloved Schnurbart as our officer in charge of initiates. Schnurbart is off on a longterm secret mission for the Gnomish Intelligence Service, but we're hopeful he'll be back some day.

In the meantime, Rianna will take over his duties, and join the ranks of your current officers:

Kariandra (Social Officer)
Valetta (Sanity Officer)
Shinytoaster (Night Shift)
Elsheindra (Mistress of Mayhem)

Congratulations, Rianna!

This message is open for commenting in the guild's FORUM area.

Recruiting Is Open Again

Elsheindra — 2007-05-21T13:07:53+00:00

After a few months of not accepting new members, The One is pleased to announce that recruiting is once again open to interested parties who wish to engage in Random Acts of Kindness, socialize, and casually raid. We will only be accepting a limited number of new initiates and not everyone who applies will be chosen. Use the joining the guild link to start the process.
