We here at No Quarter Inc. have gotten things off to a decent start during our first week on Thog.  Some of us have lost a lot of sleep, but it's all for the greater good.  I'm proud to say we were one of the first guilds on the server to claim a plot of land for our city, and the most fun in that is that we get to see who our rivals are going to be (yeah we're looking at you, OTG).

Not everything has been perfect, though.  As many of you probably know, the traders were out of the game for the last week.  This cramps our style a bit since we haven't been able to buy any building blueprints.  Finally, the traders went back in today, so we went into action.  That lasted about 30 minutes, though, since all the process did was take our materials, and yield us nothing.  Fucking travesty, I say.  Not to be deterred, we decided to improvise.  I asked Norua to lay down some blueprints of our own, and fucking lay down he did.  He really surpassed my expectations in every way, and it brought a tear to my eye.

Lady and gents, I present to you the plans for our keep.

Fucking brilliant.

Our struggles were not over, though.  We needed to get this shit built, and it's hard to find enough immigrants in a world without Home Depot and Wal-Mart.  We did what we had to, and hired Chinese gold farmers.  They work slower, but they get the job done, and don't require tax dollars.

I have to say the end result didn't blow me away.  It's ok, I guess.  I shouldn't expect a bunch of guys that spend 20 hours a day staring at a computer screen to be able to read normal paper.  Fuck it though, I'm sure you're waiting to see this...



So what did you learn today?  How the fuck should I know?  I sure know what we learned, though.
