<p>SeriousSam: /* Memoirs of a Commissar by Lukas Alexander */</p> <hr /> <div>==Project IVoS?==<br /> <br /> ===What is this?===<br /> <br /> Project IVoS is an aggregator for columns, some short stories, and pretty much anything that's extracurricular to Shartak. In May 2008, Javier Sortani decided that the forums weren't enough drama for him, so he decided to contact a few people about writing columns for something that he called Project IVoS-the Independent Voice of Shartak. IVoS is a drama lightning rod. It's both madness and Sparta at the same time. It's a way for a lot of people to be remembered after they're gone. It's just starting off right now, but hopefully some day it'll be big and it'll be beautiful and it'll be unforgettable.<br /> <br /> ===This is awesome! How can I get involved?===<br /> <br /> Glad you asked! It's very simple. Send us a column as an example of the sort that you'd write. If it's worth posting-and almost anything that's reasonably coherent and well written is-we'll put it up in the one-shots section.<br /> <br /> If you want to post anything after that, either send it to us along with a snappy title for your series of columns, or just edit it into the Wiki page yourself. Basically, one column gets you put with all of the other people who've only written one column; two columns gets you a snappy title. I don't think it's a hard decision.<br /> <br /> If you know you'll write a second column, you can ask for a snappy title from the outset. Be aware, however, that that gives us the right to harass you until you give us the second column.<br /> <br /> ==Memoirs of a Commissar by Lukas Alexander==<br /> <br /> ====What is it about?====<br /> <br /> Memoirs of a Commissar is a series of diary entries following the life of the infamous Commissar Lukas Alexander of the [[1st Colonial Militia]]. <br /> <br /> ===Part One===<br /> <br /> Monday<br /> <br /> I have taken to writing these memoirs; why? I am still not sure. Perhaps it is a comfort, perhaps it is to reaffirm my faith in our cause. I cannot say.<br /> <br /> The days look bleak. For all around us all hold a knife, it seems that no matter where we turn our backs are exposed. However, I must remain strong for this is my duty to both myself and the men. Should my faith in the Greater Good falter then how could the men continue to fight?<br /> Recently we had a new recruit. An ex-mercenary of the savages. While I myself would not allow such filth to serve Captain S.L. Hunter has decided that even the traitor can absolve his sins by killing the enemies of the greater good. Although grateful for another experienced hand I hope that this militia does not turn into a penal legion. I have not seen him yet and he seems to work alone, although I have had reports from various sources showing his results. However; the idea of a penal legion where criminals serve to absolve their sins would be of much help in combating the crime wave in York. An idea for another time.<br /> <br /> Ah York. It has been so long since I have seen home. For that is what it is to me. Durham is lost, lost its faith in the greater good. With the fall of the corrupt pistoleers and the traitor some call ‘Malice’ I envisioned a replacement with a strong town and leader, a home I could be proud of. These hopes were dashed by the charlatan Ron Burgundy. At first a flame in the shadow but he turned out to be a spineless wretch. Worthy of nothing but redemption at the end of the blade or rifle. Once friends, Sam has separated himself from Durham, fearing it lost. Ron Burgundy has made friends with the Creedy brainless puppets and their Raktam masters. This corrupt governor has jumped in bed with the enemy. I suggested to Sam that I give Burgundy a swift redemption but he bade me bide my time. 'All will receive the justice of the greater good in time' was his words. It heartens Me to see him still strong in faith as well as in arm.<br /> <br /> Captain Samuel L Hunter. A friend and a selfless leader. He never asks those who follow him to do anything but what they perceive of their duty. They follow him willingly. I fear even this war has taken a toll on him, in the past few weeks he looks like he has aged a year or two. Although never have I seen him close to breaking down. Sometimes I must question his methods and reason but I know that the ends always justify the means. It sometimes feel like an empty solace but there are far worse feelings on this god forsaken island. Failure, absence of faith, fear.<br /> <br /> Gun'Show the halfbreed native came to see me today. A developing soldier he is showing his worth. Although he is a half breed there is no taint of the savage on him. He spoke to me of fear, fear of failure and the taint that lies in his blood. The taint of the blood of the savage. I told him that 'Fear denies Faith', an important lesson I learnt when studying long ago. I also told him that Heresy grows from idleness, this seemed to strengthen his resolve and he headed out to hunt the enemies of the greater good. As I sit at this desk, his folder lays beside this diary. His father had lay with a native, he was born. Both his parents were executed and received the swift embrace of the greater good. To lay with a savage is to become tainted. Of course I don't need to look at the file to read the report by the executing commissar. The writing is my own.<br /> <br /> The war in Creedy. It has gone on longer than I can remember. An endless meat grinder with both sides taking losses. As of recent with the attacks on Durham by lone headhunters there has been a dull in the fighting. Weeks ago Sam met with defense commanders to announce our withdrawal from the Durham defense. The reason? Burgundy of course. Oh how I would like to grant him salvation at the end of my sword.<br /> The Creedy traitors and their masters have proved more difficult than anticipated. Although not beyond our redemption. Some say the puppet president has announced victory. What ignorance from the heretic. The war will not stop. For the righteous cannot falter in their gifts of salvation to the heretic, the blasphemer and the coward. There are only two courses for those who stand in the path of the greater good: to join it and receive salvation and have their eyes opened or to be given swift redemption.<br /> <br /> Now I go to walk the streets of Durham. To see what the corrupt and the unbeliever have done to the town. Durham was always a sump hole, always kept that way by its leaders; welcoming all types of heretic, traitor and savage. In time they will all be purged. None can hide from the Greater Good.<br /> <br /> For the greater good.<br /> <br /> Commissar Lukas Alexander. 1st Colonial Militia.''<br /> <br /> ===Part Two===<br /> <br /> I sit once more at my desk. A desk that has seen as much bloodshed as most people on this island. People have died on the whim of the papers that pass across this desk. Some may hold reverence for such an item, but I know it to be only a tool. A tool as we all are, a tool to do the will of the greater good. A tool that must never dull. We must not shrink in our faith or ability for it is on our merit and the nature of our death that we will be judged. For only in death does Duty truly end. Even then we blessed few may be called on again to battle our enemies.<br /> <br /> I spoke to the citizens of Durham this morning. Speaking to both police and civilian. One man came to me, a poor man little more than a beggar. He spoke to me of how he feared he had nothing to give, scared of the fact that he might not help against the devils who took Durham heads daily. I remember a teaching that my tutor Commissar Hendran once spoke off, ‘Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life’. The man’s spirits were lifted and while still only half understanding he saw the meaning behind the words. For words are but tools, tools to serve. A weapon as well as a means of peace.<br /> <br /> Sam spoke to me today before he left in the morning. He talked of bounty hunters and mercenaries. Scum, greedy and self obsessed, they disgust me. Although Sam was quick to point out that they are but tools, as we all are. While some may be the blinding sword sheathed in flame, others were the dagger in the shadow. Both tools, that when used could bring about the greater good. I can’t help thinking that this is a step too far. ‘It is better to die for the Greater good than to live for yourself’, were those not the words of the litany of faith? A book all of our proud men have ingrained in their hearts and minds.<br /> <br /> Today I inspected the headquarters of the Durham Model army. A new force birthed just before the election of the corrupt Burgundy. The man who leads it is no soldier, but a politician. This man, his men call him Tomn, is a philosophical type. A former consul of Durham during the dark ages of Durham. This man has often questioned the methods of the Militia. Words such as ‘barbaric’, ‘cavalier’ and ‘brutal’ have been used to describe the actions of our proud men. Little does this fool know that Zeal is its own excuse. This heretic gathers others around himself, slowly building a ragtag army of followers. Like the pistoleers I fear that if left unchecked they may evolve into a problem. The only thing that heartens me is their inability; green and untested they have struggled against the enemies that come from the surrounding dark of the merciless jungle. Added to this is the scorn that Tomn holds for the traitor Burgundy. Let the heretics bicker and argue, weakening each other with their petty squabbles. With any luck they will kill each other and save us a job.<br /> <br /> Ah the pistoleers. In my early days I fought such a menace. Under Governor Hale did I test my faith against the unbelievers and corrupted. Few were the servants of the greater good in those days and light were the days of Durham. Before Durham became a den of inequity . Few know of what happened to Governor Hale in those days; the days of the ‘Grey Ghost’. My strikes on the enemy were swift and my judgement final. The nickname still brings a smile to my lips as I write this. It seems so long ago now, perhaps another lifetime. Local nationalists and the heretic pistoleers fought over Durham in those days. But one day did Nathan Hale disappear from our sight, never to return to us. It was my reckoning that his faith had finally seen him ascend to join the greater good. The remaining nationalists despite unwavering faith were slowly picked off by the numerous enemy. Many lost their faith as they saw the true servants slowly overcome by the heretics. Little did anyone know that it was the plan of the greater good that we might today bring a candle to banish the shadow. The fallen shall be forever remembered as our finest. When my time comes to be judged to have such a glorious death would be welcome.<br /> <br /> Word filters back to me of the ongoing war with Creedy. It seems this very morning Sam cut down the heathen warlord in the heart of Creedy itself. Not only that but he remained unscathed, his faith his armour against the infidel savage. We all know that a savage is no match for one who is so strong in faith and arm. This news has been a major boost to the men and now Creedy lays empty, our enemies scattered to the foul winds.<br /> <br /> While heartened by Sam’s personal bravery and example I cannot think that this will be the end of it. Our supply lines grow strained and with the enemy within that is Burgundy and the heretic loudmouth Tomn we cannot become complacent.<br /> <br /> I am weary now. I go to sleep. I’m getting older now and even the strongest of faith are still only mortals.<br /> <br /> Commissar Lukas Alexander, 1st Colonial Militia.<br /> <br /> ===Part Three===<br /> <br /> Thought of the Day: Heresy grows from idleness.<br /> <br /> Today my mind is conflicted. So forgive me if I sound distracted and my thoughts appear out of order. These are trying times for us all. Even the most faithful struggle against the eternity that seems to engulf them. Word from Home arrived today, York, it seems so long ago now. How long has it been since I was home? I know the men feel it, but to dwell on it only brings doubt; to doubt is to be found weak and wanting. The only one who seems oblivious to such feelings is Dok; blessed is the mind too small to doubt.<br /> <br /> Public opinion of the war is as brutal and divided as the war itself. Some support the cause of truth while others question our actions. They ask ‘How can you walk into Creedy and execute anyone you see fit?’ These unbelievers at home and in Derby question our right to destroy these people. Those who understand realize that we have no right to let them live. What is worst about these rebels? Their subservience to the swinekin or the fact that these scum seem so like us in many ways? The native; the swinekin as many call them, they have never known the light of the greater good. They are but simple beasts, living only for destruction and war. What makes these rebels worse, is that they have been shown the light of the Greater Good and turned from it. For them there can be no forgiveness; only death.<br /> <br /> I spoke to Sam again today. The issue of Governor Burgundy and his traitors cannot be blindsided for any longer. Some protest that he has nothing to be sorry about. I say he has; for he who allows the savage and heretics to live, shares their crime in existence. So it has been decreed long before the light of the Greater Good came to this word. As it has been before, so shall it be again. I hear rumours that he aids them in their war against the faithful. Dark tidings bring word that an agreement ensures that Creedy rebels can walk in Durham without harm. Be wary of the savage, the heretics, but beware more so the enemy within.<br /> <br /> I had the privilege to drill potential recruits today. It is no simple task to be a militiaman; one must prove themselves worthy and prove their souls pure. Impurity can lead only to a swift death. There is no room in the militia for the weak; heart, mind or body. I led them in a chant, this particular chant I find aids in drilling the right sense of objective into the potentials’ heads. I recommend it to any leader, should they read these words, as a teaching aid.<br /> <br /> ''To be Unclean<br /> <br /> ''That is the mark of the savage<br /> <br /> ''To be Impure<br /> <br /> ''That is the mark of the savage<br /> <br /> ''To be Abhorred<br /> <br /> ''That is the mark of the savage<br /> <br /> ''To be Reviled<br /> <br /> ''That is the mark of the savage<br /> <br /> ''To be Hunted<br /> <br /> ''That is the mark of the savage<br /> <br /> ''To be Purged<br /> <br /> ''That is the fate of the savages<br /> <br /> ''To be Cleansed<br /> <br /> ''For that is the fate of all savages.<br /> <br /> Later is our tactical meeting. Myself, Sam and his lieutenant Arminius will be deciding the future course of actions for the coming weeks. A difficult decision looms over us like the shadow of despair. Do we continue fighting the meat grinder that is this war with Creedy. The swinekin’s numbers seem limitless and even such brave warriors as our faithful cannot stand against an enemy that is relentless. I fear our numbers are too few to put an end to this war, although it seems the Swinekin have run from the battle. Only the Creedy heretics fight on, desperate to prove their worth to their blasphemous masters. With the turncoat Burgundy taking away what manpower support we had for his own band of traitors and misfits we are left alone to fight this war. Word from York is that rebellion has broke out and while the local constabulary has managed to stopping a full scale civil war the probability seems all too real if reports are to be heard.<br /> <br /> The men yearn to go home. Today I signed and sealed Trooper Harker’s pardon for past crimes and Sam granted his request to transfer to the York Defense Force. The Defense Force is a new outfit but is led by one of the most decorated York veterans, a man known only as Mr Bungle. It is rumoured that Bungle once served in the Order of Patriots; the inquisition of York, a kind of secret police. I vaguely remember reading a book written by one of its frontmen WB. Hazen, it seems so long ago now. Rumours also talk of Sam once being a Patriot but these are unfounded. However, I would not be surprised, it is said that some Patriots do not even know all the other members of their Order. Oh what I would give to have the Hero that is Hazen fighting alongside us here in Durham.<br /> <br /> Commissar Lukas Alexander, 1st Colonial Militia.<br /> <br /> ===Part Four===<br /> <br /> Thought of the Day: Excuses are the refuge of the weak.<br /> <br /> The decision was made two days ago. The order given. Return to York. Durham is lost to the heretic and unbelievers. I fear it is beyond the light of the Greater Good. Perhaps one day Durham will turn its back on the darkness and seek out the light once more. I do not hold my breath. Durham has been a den of refuse for longer than I can remember. It seems Creedy; once a proud state, has been forever tainted by the savage. The difference between heresy and treachery is ignorance. The swinekin; they are ignorant savages, little more than the animals they kill to eat. But Creedy? It seems the taint of the savage is stronger than even we imagined.<br /> <br /> I feel divided, like most of the men. We are overjoyed to be returning to York: our home. To be returning as heroes should to the bastion of light and strength. Where the Greater Good reigns supreme. At the same time our hearts are heavy, to leave Creedy to the swinekin and their ways is a heavy burden to bear. However, I have no remorse, for those that turn from the light deserve nothing but to be purged. My sadness is for those in Durham I know to be pure in heart and mind; the innocents. I have no pity for them, for if they will not fight the corruption then they deserve none. One day I shall return to my birthplace and I will kill the traitor Burgundy and his goons. They will all feel the bite of my sword before the end of days. However, their cleansing can wait, I am called to another Duty and like the loyal servant, I answer the call.<br /> <br /> Negotiations with the Eastern Federation broke down yesterday. Sam spoke with their leader Sortani, an old acquaintance from the old days when York itself was under attack. Sam made the mistake of assuming Javier was still pure of heart, he is now tainted like all the Eastern Federation. This was a great surprise; while Sortani was always more liberal with his views he has never crossed the line into Heresy. Now he will die like all the EF. The other chiefs of the EF clamour for blood, but like the cowardly creatures they are they make more noise than anything else. It seems bloodshed and battle looms again, this time against former friends. One of their leaders, one they call ‘Zombie’, probably due to his repulsive appearance and lack of intelligence, had history with Sam and York. Indeed during the Mercenary invasions he openly sided with the enemy. It will be a pleasure to kill such a pathetic excuse for a man. The zeal of the men rode high as we all expected to join the legendary Saint Flagg and Confessor Lines in Derby to fight the corruption that had taken root there. Sam warned that York was our priority and the civil unrest caused by the Cult of Bill was to be exterminated first before actions abroad was taken. Eastern Federation are Kill on sight in York as of today. I have already signed the papers and Gun’show took the papers to be nailed to the weapons depot, trading post and hospital.<br /> <br /> The taint of the savage reaches across the island. Seeking to destroy, to corrupt and to rot. It sits in Derby and its agents lurk within Derby, spreading their poison with their forked tongues. The only remedy is to cut out the tongue. I send up a prayer as I write these words; for the success of Saint Flagg and Confessor Lines. Proud agents of the Greater Good fighting the corruption, their armour their faith and their conviction and pure hearts their greatest weapons.<br /> <br /> I go now. For I must meet with the local security forces and determine the extent of the corruption that plagues York.<br /> <br /> Commissar Lukas Alexander, 1st Colonial Militia.<br /> <br /> ==Pacifist on the Warpath by Javier Sortani==<br /> <br /> ===In Memoriam===<br /> <br /> I miss Kjendlie.<br /> <br /> Now, say what you will. Inflexible? Always. Xenophobic? Yeah. Irrational? Usually. Mildly deranged? More often than not. But, as I’ve thought about this, he actually became one of the greatest forces for good on all of Shartak.<br /> <br /> Let’s look at this. From a personal standpoint, he brought me, a lonely wandering pirate, into politics, and I owe him one for that. Heck, I wouldn’t be writing this column if not for him.<br /> <br /> Of more general interest, he’s really half the reason the York Coalition was established. After all, if not for his insane hatred for Bauer and, well, general insanity, Nighter and Broderick would never have left the Colonial Police in disgust, and the CCTU might not have disbanded. There would have been no need for the York Coalition; everybody would’ve gotten along fine in the first place, but probably would’ve stayed a bit on the ineffective side, like we were in the Fourth Invasion. Instead, we have the York Coalition, which is probably the most successful and veteran groups of Shartakian soldiers. Let’s look at the list: the Coalition has (with allies) repelled a pirate invasion, taken Midway, and proportionately given pretty much as good as it got in the Dork Cup.<br /> <br /> It’s a little-known fact that when the Coalition was founded, Kjendlie was supposed to be one of the four executive members. But, great guy that he is, he decided to stay out of it and leave the politics to the competent.<br /> <br /> Also, Hospitallers recruiting has never been so good as during the death throes of Kjendlie’s reign. Norris, Broderick, and I all became Hospitallers members in the midst of Kjendlie’s burgeoning madness.<br /> <br /> Back to the Coalition for a moment. My live-and-let-live style of politics hadn’t usually played well in York; advocating that the Malice or Endzone be given a green card, as it were, got me shot down immediately as a weak trusting pacifist or an anti-York activist. However, after the fall of Kjendlie’s Colonial Police, most of the Coalition was so sick of the era of McKjendlieism that things played out precisely how I wanted them to.<br /> <br /> He also contributed to Shartak culture; for example, thanks to him, the word “Soral” is now synonymous in the Shartak edition of Merriam-Webster with “traitor.” Additionally, that fine establishment, the Waugh Arms, formed more than anything else to annoy him. Two more pieces of Shartak history, both attributable to Kjendlie.<br /> <br /> Let’s not let the man’s glory obscure the bad parts of his era. He was a pathologically illogical madman who managed to make the Malice’s brand of obnoxious jokesterism look good by comparison. He alienated every one of his closest allies; he even managed to alienate Sammo. He supported Nathan Hale. (These days, does anyone not laugh when that name is mentioned? Anyone? I thought not.)<br /> <br /> I believe that Kjendlie is in a better place now. He’s off in some perfect York, where the Mercenary’s Guild never was and the First Imperial Privateers are laughable. Well, more laughable. But in any case, I hope that, some day, he’ll come back to say hello and do something absurd.<br /> <br /> Really. Could ya, buddy? Hospitaller recruiting hasn’t been so hot lately.<br /> <br /> ===Play Nice, Kids===<br /> <br /> If I were writing this about any other two people, I wouldn’t be writing this at all. It would just be another little personal squabble in some remote corner of Shartak. Unfortunately, this has come in the middle of a tense situation, between noteworthy public figures, and its implications could be serious for the rest of the island.<br /> <br /> Like many of you, I’m beginning to get the impression that Serious Sam and the Malice don’t like each other.<br /> <br /> For those of you who don’t know who these two are, well, what rock, precisely, have you been hiding under? Sam is the founder and leader of the Colonial Militia, and the island’s most notorious hardliner. The Malice was a flagship member of the Mercenaries’ Guild, and if he wasn’t quite public enemy number one in York, he was up there. Are we beginning to see where an issue might arise?<br /> <br /> Let’s fast forward a bit. The Mercenaries’ Guild collapses shortly before the Dork Cup. Malice joins the Pistoleers. The Pistoleers pledge their aid to York in the Dork Cup. Malice starts to trek over to York, with the stated purpose of helping the Coalition (at that time still including the Militia) defend York. He asks the Coalition first if we’ll repeal his kill on sight status. We do.<br /> <br /> And then Lukas Alexander, Militia member, kills Malice. Shouting, eye-rolling, theatrics, and such ensue. Sam defends Lukas because the kill was for “personal reasons.” Long story short, the Militia withdraws from the Coalition.<br /> <br /> Let’s fast forward again. The Durham situation. Malice revives the Pistoleers. Sam declares he’s going over to support the Pistoleers. Now, this is a bit of a surprise. Sam doesn’t like the Pistoleers. He put up a sign in his yard for Nathan Hale back in the day. But apparently he likes a hostile takeover by Raktam even less.<br /> <br /> Sam, en route to Durham, gets killed by Malice.<br /> <br /> And things get hostile again. Sam, proving himself the better man as usual, declares each and every Pistoleer kill on sight. Now, at present, it’s not an issue, because heck, there are no Pistoleers any more to kill on sight, but still, it's an absurd move. If Sam's right and Malice is a troublemaker, then the Pistoleers shouldn't be responsible; and if all the Pistoleers are troublemakers, why was he defending them in the first place?<br /> <br /> With that in mind, I’d like to end this little history lesson with a shoutout to each of the players involved.<br /> <br /> Sam: look, we all know that you were going to rip Malice a new one as soon as you saw him. Don’t act like it was completely unexpected. You’re just mad he got to you before you got to him. Besides, if Lukas’s killing Malice was okay because it was for “personal reasons,” why should Malice’s killing you be any different? It really looks like you were looking for an excuse here, and personally I’m just sad that Malice gave it to you.<br /> <br /> Malice: what were you thinking? If Sam went for you first, you’d be the victim. By getting him before he got you, you’re playing right into his hands. Honestly. Did forethought even cross your mind? You never kill Sam if he doesn’t kill you first. You know that. He and his boys in the Militia will declare you, your allies, and your dear Auntie Em kill on sight. And your little dog too.<br /> <br /> I wrote this article some time ago. But recently, some people decided to make it relevant for me again.<br /> <br /> I speak, of course, of the killing of the Militia at Creedy.<br /> <br /> Now, maybe they were there to take over. Maybe they were there to protect the place.<br /> <br /> But now? They're the victims, and they're angry. They're back on the attack.<br /> <br /> Please, people. Think before you machete.<br /> <br /> Thanks for your attention, readers. Now go back to the senseless killing and impotent power politics. More material is never a bad thing.<br /> <br /> ===Truly Pathetic===<br /> <br /> You wouldn't think it would be that hard to not zerg.<br /> <br /> So, your little group is losing their personal war. York's on the rebound and is starting to defend itself again. Now, most people would either politely retire or keep grinding on impotently.<br /> <br /> Or you can find a tome of the dark arts, read up, and start to summon followers. And you could name them so that it's blindingly obvious that they're ''somebody's'' servitors. In the process, you break all the rules held most fundamentally by all Shartakians, regardless of color or creed: zerging is forbidden.<br /> <br /> York, say hello to the Pathetic Bills. I haven't heard a name so apt since {{profile|12456|Dickhead PKer}}.<br /> <br /> No, we don't have proof as such that the Bills were summoned by the dark arts. But the similarity of the times during their attacks suggests a mastermind behind them. We know that at least one group has an axe to grind with York's defenders. And I, for one, refuse to believe that more than five people, all with names based on &quot;Pathetic Bill,&quot; arrived on the island at almost the exact same time. I've seen bizarre coincidences, but this is even a bit much for me.<br /> <br /> Now, I know York isn't perfect either; if they were, would the {{profile|14541|pbks}} have come to be? (PBK appears to be Pathetic Bill Killer, if you hadn't gotten it.) But at least the pbks appear to have been abandoned by their creator.<br /> <br /> Ultimately, this whole thing is a bit sad. If you can't win a war without resorting to the dark arts, just give up. Even if you win in the end, what do you get out of it? A bit of self-satisfaction and the condemnation of everyone else on the island, and the self-satisfaction isn't guaranteed. Your allies and anyone who would have previously considered an alliance will repudiate you, unless they're just as immature or self-serving as you.<br /> <br /> I understand the satisfaction of a good kill. Victory is a pleasure, even if a base one. But a pleasure at the cost of your humanity? Not worth it.<br /> <br /> &quot;Pathetic&quot; Bill: a self-fulfilling prophecy.<br /> <br /> ===Vale===<br /> <br /> It’s been quite the ride.<br /> <br /> When I first got into politics, it was because, wounded, bleeding, wandering at random, I came into the heart of York. Fully expecting to die upon the next dawn, I found, instead, that I had been invited into the Colonial Police.<br /> <br /> Curious, thrilled at human contact, I accepted.<br /> <br /> You all know the story from there.<br /> <br /> I’ve been a target since my very first days on the island. The accepting attitudes towards pirates that we see these days were in their infancy back then; those were the days of the Order of Patriots and the Pirate Hunters. I died for my birth several times in York; ultimately, I believe, Kjendlie had a talk with the Order of Patriots, and they laid off. I guess I owe the guy one.<br /> <br /> But hey, I’m not going to rant about persecution. That just wouldn’t be me.<br /> <br /> Okay, it might be me, but I’m going to do it in my retirement speech. Just let me say that I'm glad that things are better for pirates these days.<br /> <br /> I’d like to think the island’s a better place for my having been. Certainly I’ve always made an effort; even as a newly-minted Colonial Policemen, I wasn’t shy about being heard. In fact, probably my quietest period was my most prominent one, as Tribune of the Hospitallers (replacing the late, great James Barnes). I had to watch what I said and bite back my most sarcastic instincts. It really wasn’t much fun. But that’s the price you pay for fame.<br /> <br /> I’ve fought for two things above all: ration and pacifism. I don’t believe, oddly enough, that war, particularly war with collateral damage, is a good thing, nor do I believe that rampant irration is a good thing. Call me crazy. I haven’t always been successful, I haven’t always even been right, but I’ve tried.<br /> <br /> I have the highest respect for a few people. I’d like to thank a few people in particular, not all of whom are here to see it, for somehow helping me in my days on the island.<br /> <br /> Kjendlie, for bringing me into politics.<br /> <br /> James Barnes, for inviting me into the Hospitallers and for always providing an example to look up to.<br /> <br /> Serious Sam, for providing so much material.<br /> <br /> The Eastern Federation and the York Coalition, for all the good times.<br /> <br /> Broderick, for being probably my oldest comrade on the island.<br /> <br /> Kilshrek, for his aid during my days as Tribune and for ensuring that the Hospitallers will wind up in good hands.<br /> <br /> Neil Tathers, for being a peaceful advisor in Raktam and a good friend. I’m willing to bet that a lot of potential disasters were averted by your presence.<br /> <br /> And of course, thank you to Simon, for discovering this island, without which none of this would have ever happened.<br /> <br /> It hasn’t always been a pleasure, but at the least it’s always been interesting; and on balance, I wouldn’t give it up for all the southern coast. Farewell, Shartak. If once, before you declare war, you think of me and stay your hand, it was worth it.<br /> <br /> ==Cooler Skulls by Neil Tathers==<br /> <br /> <br /> ===On the Subjects of Kingdoms===<br /> <br /> ''“The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.”'' – Sun Tzu<br /> <br /> The Kingdom of Skulls has arrived, and with it, a whole new bag of problems gets dropped into my troubled homeland.<br /> <br /> The Kingdom of skulls is being ruled by one Black Fang. I had the honor of fighting with Black Fang against the pirates. He was quick with a blade, and very eager to heal, but the most important thing I remember was his braveness for saving his fellow natives. He would risk his own life, jumping into battle exhausted, even if it meant his own doom. This is a great quality to have as a leader, to be known as strong, sacrificing and willing to help those around you no matter what the risks, but you also need something else as a leader, a strong support group.<br /> <br /> And I have yet to see Black Fang establish these people.<br /> <br /> His first act as a Grand Tyrant was to claim land under the rule of Wiksik. All well and good, but why would anyone listen to it, he was a fledgling king under a fledgling banner, with few followers, but it caused an uproar, almost leading to another war with the outsiders. But this was avoided; I had something to do with that, encouraging talks between Black Fang, my friend Javier of the Eastern Federation, and the French representative Baron Surcouf. Hopefully they agree to acceptable, and more importantly, peaceful terms.<br /> <br /> But this is off topic of what I want to talk about. What I’m trying to express is the subjects of Kingdoms, not just one. There are several people of importance that make a Kingdom; the leader is only one piece of the puzzle.<br /> <br /> Adviser's are just as important as the King himself.<br /> <br /> The advisers you elect should represent different factions in the kingdom, not just your friends who you know will back your every decision. These advisers need to present different viewpoints, and not be afraid too present them. But they should encourage open rebellion either, even if they don’t agree with a topic, they should back whatever decision their respective leader comes too. I abhor violence, but even with talks, I will pick up my machete if my liege tells me so. But on the other side of the coin, the king knows my words are meant for peace and ultimately the best for Raktam. Queen Hummingbird learned what my peaceful talks were just as powerful as her armies, and I feel King Sofaking knows this too.<br /> <br /> So what lies for the final judgment of this new Kingdom of Skulls? I think it’s who Black Fang chooses as his subordinates, and how he chooses to act based on their advice will be when I decide what my final opinion of him would be. But I hope that his future is a bright one, for Wiksik needs a cohesive force leading it.<br /> <br /> ~Neil Tathers<br /> <br /> <br /> === Weapons of the Soul ===<br /> <br /> ''“Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.”'' - Martin Luthor King Jr.<br /> <br /> I was, is and will be a warrior at my deepest. When I was growing up my father taught me the ways of the blowpipe, the machetes, and finally, the massive heavy sword. He told me how to wield them, to let them be extensions of your will, and to kill with them. I hunted game at first by his side, the small monkey, the terror of the wild boar, the swift and efficient tiger. With these small kills, I grew in his esteem, and journeyed on my own to find more game to kill. Before I left for this journey, I gained enough of his respect to have our ancestral blowpipe Hawk's Talon, a blowpipe etched with blue runes. I saw this as a blessing.<br /> <br /> When I returned to Raktam after years of traveling, I found my parents murdered in their home by the Butcher of Raktam, Armadox. The Queen summoned by, bestowing upon me two more of my family's ancestral weapons, two kukri blades etched with blue runes, the right one named Tiger's Claw, the left named Boar's Tusk. I knew of a heavy sword, and when I asked about it, the Queen told me she had no idea who stole it. Hunted down outsiders and Native murderers alike during this period of time, killing them with my family's weapons, but each death did not ease the pain, it made the pain worse.<br /> <br /> This is when I realized that I am not truly a murderer, I am a warrior, two different things. I will hunt people who disturb the peace, and kill them without looking back, but I cannot murder someone who has done no wrong to me or my own. This is unacceptable. This is what has made me a diplomat, a peacemaker, a talker.<br /> <br /> My soul.<br /> <br /> The greatest weapon my father has ever given to me.<br /> <br /> I hope that one day I do find Bear's Roar, but only to keep my family's heirlooms together. I hope to eventually bestow them upon my own children, if I ever have any, but I never plan to wield these weapons against people who don't deserve it. This is why I didn't go into battle against the Pwotter clan, they have done nothing wrong to me or my own, and why I propose peace. But if you do cross me, or my own, I will attack you with all the power I posses, for at heart am I still a warrior.<br /> <br /> A warrior with a soul.<br /> <br /> -Neil Tathers<br /> <br /> ==Fool's Gold - The Thinker's Reward by the Fool==<br /> <br /> '''COMING SOON'''<br /> <br /> ==Heavy Game Of The West Indies by Deadeye==<br /> <br /> ===Motivation===<br /> <br /> At sunset the view North-West from the upper balcony of the Durham Trader's hut is breathtaking. First, a large expanse of bush and jungle. Then the seemingly endless dunes of Echo Beach. And then in the distance, the blue-white waters of the western lagoon. As the sun falls low on the horizon the lagoon turns the colour of blood and the jungle shadows take on a deeper, menacing aspect. When your rum has been cooled in buckets of ice brought all the way from Shartak Mountain, that view seems picture-postcard perfect.<br /> <br /> A shadow woke me from my daydreaming. The man who blocked the sunlight was tall, six feet plus, an athletic-looking silhouette. His voice was rough, &quot;Be ye Deadeye? Deadeye the hunter?&quot;. I offered him a cheroot and gestured to the wicker chair beside me. &quot;Aye&quot;, I said as I lit our smokes. No longer backlit, I could see him clearly. Skin sunburned nut-brown, corded muscles, handsome face, gleaming white teeth, swash-topped leather boots, extravagant clothing, a cutlass at his side and a silken bandana on his head. &quot;I'm the Pirate King&quot; he said. &quot;Aye?&quot;, I said.<br /> <br /> I gestured to the bottle on the table. He took a long draught of the rum and smacked his lips. He spoke confidently. &quot;My ship was sunk off the North coast of this thrice-damned island. She was attacked by a monster, a giant squid. It smashed her rudder and rigging and she drifted onto the reef. The tide and surf pounded her to driftwood. A lot of good men drowned trying to get ashore. Some of the poor bastards didn't make it that far. That hellspawned squid pulled them right out of the rowboat. It was... horrible...&quot; His voice had sunk to a whisper. He took another long draught from the rum bottle. Then he looked at me. Haunted eyes in a haunted face. &quot;They say yer a Kraken Hunter&quot;. It wasn't a question. I answered anyway, &quot;Aye&quot;. He thumped a calloused fist on the little table and the rum bottle jumped. &quot;I want to find the beast that destroyed my ship and killed my crew. I want revenge. Will you teach me to be a Kraken Hunter?&quot;<br /> <br /> I sighed, &quot;Aye, I can teach you. It's no job for the faint-hearted.&quot; I unbuttoned my shirt and showed him the marks. &quot;Sometimes the shaman doesn't put you back together quite right. The scars remain.&quot; I splayed my fingers, wide, but still not wide enough to span the circular scars. &quot;The big tentacles, the whips, they have claws around the edges of every sucker. Once they hook in, they don't let go. If you can manage to pull away, you lose the flesh.&quot; He gave me a hard look. A you-can't-scare-me-off look. I buttoned up my shirt and took a swig of the rum. I looked out towards the western lagoon. &quot;They breed out in the ocean depths and come in to the reef to hunt. Usually they stick to the deep water. They feed on the sharks. Ever wonder why there are no really big sharks around this island?&quot; He frowned and made as if to speak. &quot;The sharks usually find you before you find the squid. And once the blood is in the water it can get messy.&quot; I looked back at him. A moment of doubt passed across his face then vanished, chased away by thoughts of revenge.<br /> <br /> I looked back to the distant surf. &quot;You'll need a lot of supplies.... and patience.&quot; He nodded and waited for me to continue. &quot;Go downstairs, buy the best backpack you can get. Haggle for all the medical supplies you can afford. Buy spares of everything, especially dagger and cutlass. And don't forget food and fresh water.&quot; He stood up to leave. Then he pointed to the sword I had propped against my chair, &quot;Where can I get one of those?&quot; I shook my head and smiled. &quot;I'm told that it's a late medieval zweihander. An antique. I won it in a game of backgammon. The mug who lost it swore he took it from a long-dead corpse in the swamp near Battle Creek.&quot; He looked at me skeptically and shook his head.<br /> <br /> I could hear a commotion in the street below. &quot;The natives tell stories of their ancestors. Of a war that consumed the island. They say the dead warriors in the swamps will rise again when they are needed to defend their home.&quot; I stood up and leaned on the balcony railing. Looking down I saw two men. Between them they half-carried, half-dragged an injured man. The fellow was delirious, foaming at the mouth and screeching gibberish. His face was covered in blood and dozens of bright feathers protruded from his chest, back and legs. I watched the three disappear inside the medical hut. The screams died out quickly. I flicked my cheroot butt over the balcony railing and turned back to the Pirate King, &quot;I don't think those dead warriors will be rising any time soon.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==The Healer's Work by Tracer==<br /> <br /> ===The Horrors…===<br /> <br /> The days are filled with uncertainty; the sounds would drive you insane. You listen for the beat of what drives man. You are one of the only things protecting people from their demise. Not knowing who will stumble in; a creature picking off the wounded, a doomed corpse, or a wounded man. People discount our services and their screams plague the nights. We are those who decide the fates of hundreds; leave them to a slow painful death or an extension to their already limited lives. This choice is not always our choice; many a time I have found myself unable to help a poor soul but I am held back by the passage of time and the decay that results. We are the mechanics of life and if we do not do our job life shall decay and collapse. It is a horror we must face yet is for the good of the common man…<br /> <br /> ===The Things I’ve Seen…===<br /> <br /> The healer’s life is not an easy thing. We deal with the mess others cause. I have seen men with dozens of bullets lodged in their stomachs… Men whose arms have been broken beyond recognition… We must also use the same things others use to kill to help others; a dagger to remove those bullets; a machete to amputate the infected arm. We deal with even some of the strangest things of all; a man that was able to take over 20 poison darts and still hold onto the thin line called life. Another who had numerous circular marks and nearly strangled to death by a strange sea creature. The sheer mess of it is never a good sight; buckets full of blood, hair and skin covered floors, and even the mangled corpses of those who weren’t as fortunate as the rest. It’s an affinity for a job that we all hate. We wish we could do something else yet we find our only purpose is to fix all of those we see… <br /> <br /> ==One-Shots==<br /> <br /> '''COMING SOON'''<br /> <br /> ==The Project IVoS Team==<br /> *[[User:Javier_Sortani|Javier Sortani]] - Pacifist on the Warpath/Editor<br /> *{{profile|7605|Lukas Alexander}} - Memoirs of a Commissar<br /> *{{profile|3936|Neil Tathers}} - Cooler Skulls<br /> *{{profile|10539|The Fool}} - Fool's Gold: The Thinker's Reward<br /> *{{profile|8813|Deadeye}} - Heavy Game Of The West Indies<br /> *{{profile|12660|Tracer}} - The Healer's Work<br /> [[Category:Roleplaying| ]]</div>

<p>SeriousSam: /* Landmarks */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Parchment Pages.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ==Don't Panic!==<br /> <br /> Ever wonder where you're going, or how to get there? Taken so many wrong turns that you're probably back where you started? After a while, do all those damn trees start to look the same? It's a good thing we have [[Items#GPS unit|GPS Units]], eh? The reassuring sight of those incomprehensible numbers is sure to steady the heart of any misplaced adventurer. Now you know exactly where you are!<br /> <br /> ''So where the hell is everywhere else?''<br /> <br /> ==Navigational Tips and Tricks==<br /> [[Image:Corodinate example.png|thumb|right|Less confused yet?]]<br /> The GPS displays X and Y co-ordinates, like a graph. Step west, and the first number goes down; east and it goes up. Similarly, going north increments the second number, and heading south decreases it. To get to a given set of co-ordinates, the best method is often to move diagonally until one co-ordinate is correct, then move in a straight line along that axis until you reach your target. Just be aware that occasionally this technique may result in you walking into a mountain.<br /> <br /> ===Roads===<br /> A fairly extensive, if rather variable, road network connects the settlements of Shartak. If you can find a signposted road, this will often get you to your location quickly. Just make sure the road isn't a randomly cut red herring, and don't sleep on the road - banditry is rife in many regions. A map of the theoretical road network can be found [[Civilized Highway Society|here]], but some of these roads may not actually exist at any given time; the current [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/ Ubermap] will show which ones are currently navigable.<br /> <br /> ===Addons===<br /> <br /> Those of you with [http://www.getfirefox.com Firefox] should definitely consider getting a couple of the [http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/ GreaseMonkey] scripts from the [[The Shartak Wiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]] page.<br /> <br /> *[http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/3451.user.js The Shartak Map Overlay] gives you the option of placing a complete copy of the island map over your own in-game map screen, which is a huge help for those of you without GPS units. Use it to find your position relative to one of the southern towns, then go there and get a GPS already.<br /> <br /> *We seriously can't hype the [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/shartakubermapper.user.js Shartak UBER MAP] enough. As well as automatically collecting data about your surroundings and using this to create a constantly updated map of the island, It gives you access to a satellite map showing your exact location, a zoomable, scrollable map of your local area, and an in-game 15x11 map below your normal 5x5 map. We couldn't play Shartak without it.<br /> <br /> *Whenever you have a GPS signal, the [http://www.leaky.org/campdirections.user.js Shartak Camp Directions] script will give you directions to each of the six towns and the shipwreck, as the crow flies. It's a great tool when you don't want to have to keep checking the satellite or plan a proper route.<br /> <br /> ===The Quick Way Home===<br /> You can easily get back to your home camp from any point on the island in less than 50AP! If you're by the shore, jump into the sea and swim out to deeper waters, then splash around in small circles laughing manically until the sharks finally drag you beneath the waves. Respawn at your home shaman for 25AP and you're done! If you're inland, find a large, aggressive animal, sock it one, and wait for it to get you back. There are of course many variations on this trick, involving poisonous berries, angry farmers, swarms of killer bees, etc.<br /> <br /> ==Locations, Locations, Locations...==<br /> This is a list of interesting, useful, or important locations in Shartak. Each is given a brief description, a set of GPS coordinates, and a link to the appropriate Ubermap satellite and map roamer pages. Obviously this won't be a definitive list, so everyone is of course encouraged to add new locations as they are found or created.<br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> <br /> ===Settlements===<br /> ====Dalpok====<br /> This native village is close to the Shipwreck and thus a frequent target for pirate raids. The area between Dalpok and the Shipwreck, known as Corsair Boulevard, is a constant warzone, and much fighting also occurs to the south, against outsiders coming up from York and Durham. Certain pirates refer to Dalpok as &quot;New Amsterdam&quot; and regard it as their own, although a land scam in '06 saw some pirates relinquish their claim to the town to a mad outsider called Maevar Raenick who unsuccessfully proclaimed himself mayor. [[Ropata]] is one of the chief elders of Dalpok, and the [[Dalpok Defence Force]] seems to have fallen into disarray. Dalpok was once the home of [[Jungle Drums]], the sole native newspaper.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|437|443}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Dalpok|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Derby====<br /> Arguably the most isolated outsider town, Derby is generally quiet and safe these days (despite being the first target of [[the WickSick Headhunters]]) and makes a good base for hunting expeditions. Derby is the only town with a working judicial system, a hospital, a hotel (the [[Hotel de Derby]]), a local newspaper called the [[Derby Evening Press]], and a duelling academy. A number of other useful institutions are scattered througout the town. It is very efficiently run by members of the [[Eastern Federation]], a coalition of several military factions within the town. A heavy sword mining operation run by the Eastern Federation sits in the nearby delta swamp. Derby infrequently assists its sister towns York and Durham with various threats, and has cordial relations with Raktam and friendly pirates.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|095|350}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Durham====<br /> The Durham peninsula is dominated by Durham and by its northern neighbour the [[Indepedent Republic of Fort Creedy]]. It was for many years largely controlled by the [[Durham Pistoleers]], a nationalist militia crushed by the [[Commonwealth of Greater Raktam and Creedy]] in December '07 during the [[Burgundy War]]. It is a frequent port of call for pirate traders collecting medical supplies for the shipwreck. Durham is the only town on Shartak with the first democratically elected leader, Governor Jacobi. The current governor is Ron Burgundy who won re-election in March. Durham is home to several substantial institutions, notable the [[Durham Model Army]] and its rival the [[Durham Police]], and [[Durham Utility]] with its bank.<br /> {{pplink|648|343}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Durham|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Raktam====<br /> This native kingdom was in '06 the scene of a bloody civil insurgency between the Scavengers and the Raktamites and their allies, resulting in murders, burning of buildings, and extortion. This internecine conflict ended with the reform of the [[Scavengers]] clan in February '07. Frequent attacks on visiting outsiders deter most trade with the village. In March '07, Raktam was the starting point of the inaugural [[Raktam Race]]. The Queen of Greater Raktam, Blue Hummingbird, was the sovereign ruler of Raktam and its surrounding territories, through the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] and its Commonwealth with the [[Independent Republic of Fort Creedy]]. Upon her assassination in February '08, Raktam and its territories are ruled by [[SofaKing]], the Queen's heir. Raktam is the centre of native politics and intrigue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|322|469}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Raktam|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Shipwreck====<br /> The base of all pirates on Shartak, the shipwreck is dangerous and anarchic but conveniently compact. Visiting is a unique, if sometimes short, experience. The Shipwreck and the surrounding precinct was irregularly - some would say negligently - patrolled by senior members of the Pirate Defence Force of the [[Jolly Roger Gang]], the [[Scurvy Crew of the Hellborn Strumpet]], and the [[1st Imperial Privateers Regiment]], who each meted out gleeful vengeance on recidivist pirate murderers until the demise of each of these clans. The principal pirate clan is now the [[Brotherhood of the Coast]], although it is usually not in residence. A one-masted sloop or cutter, the shipwreck itself is known as either the Hellborn Strumpet or the Missionary Position, and its compartments and cabins are frequently haunted by dangerous ghosts. The view from the crow's nest is obscured by fog. [[Utility Bank]] has a branch in the main cabin.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|541|543}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Shipwreck|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Wiksik====<br /> Wiksik is the most populous of the native settlements. It is not to be confused with [[The WickSick Headhunters|Wicksick]]. Wiksik is the home of spiritual matters on the island, usually of a sinister bent, ably demonstrated by the [[The Necromancers Guild|Necromancer's Guild]]. Wiksik and the surrounding lands form the [[Kingdom Of Skulls]], a native homeland whose people do not tolerate aggressive outsiders. Wiksik is a point of easy access to nearby [[Wiksik#Crystal Lake|Crystal Lake]] and the far North Eastern swamp. A regulalrly used road called the Armachu Trail runs between Wiksik and Raktam. In general Wiksik is intolerant of even peaceful outsiders.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|239|405}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Wiksik|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> The largest of the outsider settlements, [[York]] is a bustling and exciting town, except for pirates, who have a fairly short life expectancy within its limits. Peaceful native shamans are welcome within certain areas, primarily for their ability to exorcise ghosts. Nonetheless its relative tolerance is somewhat subdued by a proliferation of extremist groups such as the [[1st Colonial Militia]] and the [[Order of Patriots]] who engage in assassinations of individuals within the city borders. This extremism is fueled by the fact that York is frequently the target of raids by various groups. York has a very long history of pirate invasions, attackes by mercenaries, and conflict with natives, which are detailed in the wiki. The town is now largely administered by 5punk.co.uk with the assistance of the long-established [[Colonial Police]], and repels hostile forces with well-honed efficiency. York is by far the best defended town on Shartak. Once the host of two rather excellent newspapers, [[The Yorkman|The Yorkman]], and its competitor, the [[Shartak Financial Times]], it no longer has any press. A small farming district once sat on the Margaret River, north-east of York, run by York non-combatants. A large heavy sword mining operation is in the Margaret River delta, controlled by York authorities.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|371|314}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[York|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Locations]]<br /> <br /> ===Academic and Research Institutions===<br /> ====Derby====<br /> =====Derby Academy Fencing Hall=====<br /> Run by the Derby Hospitallers, the fencing hall allows students to practice their combat and healing skills. Students are allowed to attack each other, so long as nobody is wounded below 20HP, and are also encouraged to heal one another to gain further experience.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|094|350}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby Academy|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Derby Academy Lecture Hall=====<br /> Run by the Derby Hospitallers, the lecture hall provides advice to students on a range of matters. When the hall is staffed by a Hospitaller, just ask your question, or say which field you need advice on (general gameplay advice is also available on request), and they will happily oblige. If the hall is unstaffed, you can generally ask your question at the [[Parchment Pages#Derby Academy Fencing Hall|Fencing Hall]] or [[Parchment Pages#Derby Hospital|Hospital]], and wait in the lecture hall for your answer.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|093|350}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby Academy|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> =====Shartak Crytozoological Society=====<br /> A society dedicated to the cataloging and understanding of Shartak's unique and diverse wildlife. Their headquarters in York are often occupied by the clan's founder, Sir John Sevier.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|368|314}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Shartak Cryptozoological Society|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====York Observatory=====<br /> <br /> Once run by Ibn al Xuffasch, the [[York Observatory]] is dedicated to identifying life beyond the skies. The Observatory is now derelict and is no longer operational.<br /> <br /> ===Commercial Buildings===<br /> ====Dalpok====<br /> =====Imperial Bank=====<br /> <br /> The 1st Imperial Bank in Dalpok was once operated by Monkeypaw. Since Monkeypaw's demise in '06 this branch is now closed.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|436|441}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[1st Imperial Bank|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Tamdal Tak=====<br /> Dalpok's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items. Due to his positioning, he generally stocks items most widely available to natives. Speaks the native tongue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|435|442}}<br /> <br /> ====Derby====<br /> =====Imperial Bank=====<br /> <br /> The 1st Imperial Bank branch in Derby was operated by Kristofer Schanz. Since Schanz's demise this branch is now closed. {{pplink|092|349}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[1st Imperial Bank|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Trader Tom=====<br /> Derby's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items. Due to his positioning, he generally stocks items most widely available to outsiders. Speaks the outsider tongue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|092|350}}<br /> <br /> ====Durham====<br /> =====Templar Bank=====<br /> <br /> The [[Templar Bank]] branch in Durham was operated by Hideo Inakajimita, the bank's president. The bank is now closed.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|650|346}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Templar Bank|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Utility Bank=====<br /> <br /> [[Durham Utility]] operate a bank in Durham.<br /> <br /> =====Mercenary Guildhouse=====<br /> The Mercenary's Guild Durham Headquarters. May not be currently active.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|653|339}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Mercenary's Guild|Wiki]<br /> <br /> =====Trader Dick=====<br /> Durham's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items. Due to his positioning, he generally stocks items most widely available to outsiders. Speaks the outsider tongue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|649|347}}<br /> <br /> ====Raktam====<br /> =====Crowjane's Bank=====<br /> <br /> Crowjane's Bank provides deposit services, loans, and inter-branch money transfers. The bank has an association with the [[Templar Bank]].<br /> <br /> {{pplink|320|471}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[1st Imperial Bank|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Raktam Security Consultancy=====<br /> In the basement of the Raktam Tavern, the RSC aims was to provide an alternative to the now demobilised Mercenary's Guild. The Consultancy is now defunct.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|321|473}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Raktam Security Consultancy|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Grand Vizier's Markets=====<br /> <br /> The Grand Vizier's Markets, was established by the Queen of Greater Raktam, Blue Hummingbird, in December '07, in honour of her Grand Vizier, [[Neil Tathers]] and was in the southern quarter of Raktam. It consisted of a cluster of huts in the south of Raktam which may be used by any peaceful trader of any nation. Trade in the markets was tariff free. Repeated attacks on foreign trsders by local Raktamis forced the closure of the markets in Jan '08.<br /> <br /> =====Tamdal Tik=====<br /> Raktam's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items. Due to his positioning, he generally stocks items most widely available to natives. Speaks the native tongue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|319|472}}<br /> <br /> ====Shipwreck====<br /> =====Trader Sam=====<br /> The Shipwreck's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items. Due to his positioning, he generally stocks items most widely available to pirates, although first aid kits are an infrequent luxury item. Speaks the outsider tongue.<br /> <br /> ====Wiksik====<br /> =====Imperial Bank=====<br /> <br /> The 1st Imperial Bank branch was operated by Justine, and since her death has become inactive.<br /> <br /> No coordinates are currently available for this branch.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|???|???}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[1st Imperial Bank|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Tamdal Toe=====<br /> Wiksik's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items. Due to his positioning, he generally stocks items most widely available to natives. Speaks the native tongue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|235|405}}<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> =====Templar Bank=====<br /> <br /> The Templar Bank branch in York provides deposit services, loans, and inter-branch money transfers. Each branch, its bronze door framed by marble arches, is ostensibly neutral territory, in order to facilitate mercantile transactions, although this is understandably difficult to enforce. Both outsiders and natives are welcome within any branch of the bank. The branch is operated by Archbishop Blackburne.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|368|314}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Templar Bank|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Trader Harry=====<br /> York's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items. Due to his positioning, he generally stocks items most widely available to outsiders. The only known trader to have ever brokered a Heavy Sword deal (taking a hefty cut in the process), although these are usually arranged beforehand with the owner of the sword. Speaks the outsider tongue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|367|313}}<br /> <br /> ===Communications and Infrastructure===<br /> ====Wiksik====<br /> =====Native Message Hut=====<br /> A hut for natives to write messages inside. Intended to act like a village notice board.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|237|410}}<br /> <br /> =====Outsider Message Hut=====<br /> A hut for outsiders to write messages inside. Intended to act like a village notice board for visiting outsiders.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|236|410}}<br /> <br /> ===Historical Sites===<br /> ====Derby====<br /> =====Derby Swamp Ruins=====<br /> Three ruined huts near the Derby Swamp, not far from the road to York. As at November 07 a French enclave known as Nouveau Aix-en-Bains, now again abandoned.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|111|378}}<br /> <br /> ====Durham====<br /> =====Durham Ruins=====<br /> Two ruined huts just north-west of Durham.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|666|354}}<br /> <br /> =====The Independent Republic of Fort Creedy=====<br /> This ancient complex consists of three ruined buildings (a jail, armoury, and hall), two of which have multi-space interiors and multiple entrances. The Republic declared independence in early 07, and has a small but permanent population of both outsiders and natives. Since forming a commonwealth with Raktam in November '07, a Raktam garrison has operated from the armoury.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|666|380}}<br /> <br /> ====Raktam====<br /> =====Chikram=====<br /> Three huts a short walk north of Raktam. Until recently occupied by the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] as a northern outpost, this was a favourite haunt of pirates. This location was also known as Winter Palace of the Queen of Greater Raktam, Blue Hummingbird, until her death in February '08.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|322|492}}<br /> <br /> ====Shipwreck====<br /> =====Temple Ruins=====<br /> This ancient temple has a multi-space interior with a sacrificial table (although to date this has no apparent function). It has been heavily fought over in the past but is now firmly in pirate hands and has been used as a gladiatorial arena between pirates engaging in boxing. The ruins are a favorite haunt of pirate-killers.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|540|530}}<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> =====Mercenary's Guildhouse=====<br /> Formerly the headquarters of the [[Mercenary's Guild]], this was the center of Guild power in York during the second invasion, and a frequent target for [[Order of Patriots]] raids.

The site of the first [[Shartak Preservation Front]] conference.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|357|406}}<br /> <br /> =====York Swamp Ruins=====<br /> Two ruined huts a short way north-east of the York Swamp, not far from the Derby-York road.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|331|380}}<br /> <br /> ===Islets===<br /> ====Casterley Rock====<br /> A small, thin island just off the southern coast of Derby, once occupied by the clan known as the Lions of Casterley Rock.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|095|335}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Southern Islands|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Ernst Island====<br /> The smallest islet in Shartak's waters, lying just east of Rodrigo Island. Currently the site of the Shartak Wildlife Conservatory. Poachers are not welcome.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|628|385}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Western Islets|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Midway Island====<br /> A small island off the south coast between [[York]] and [[Derby]]. It emerged from the sea in April '07, revealing the ruins of a two-story stone tower. The first person on the island was [[Simeon Carter]] of Derby, and so the channel across from the mainland to the island is called [[Carter Channel]]. It is known by some natives as Barbekuria, and was used as for various religious ceremonies until a joint [[Eastern Federation]]/ [[York Coalition]] attack. As of November '07 it was occupied by the French: the tower is called Aix-de-Bains and the island called Ile de Mi-Chemins. [[The French]] operate a casino on the top floor of the tower, called [[Casino Royale]]. The Island is now under armed dispute between members of the [[Kingdom Of Skulls]] and the [[1st Colonial Militia]]. At present it resides in the hands of York. <br /> <br /> {{pplink|217|335}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Southern Islands|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Hawkins Island====<br /> A small island off the tip of the York Peninsula (Macdonald Point), which has been known as Killer Island and Calvin's Eye-Land. Once declared the Shartak Elephant Preserve, later claimed by the Predators of Killer Island, and then as the headquarters of the [[Kraken Hunters]], it is often used as a staging post for attacks on York.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|401|270}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Southern Islands|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Rodrigo Island====<br /> A small island to the north of Durham, discovered by Alex Rodrigo in the early weeks of the colonisation. The western beach was the former site of a Dutch shipyard, operated by agents of the [[1st Imperial Privateers Regiment]]. Save for a signpost, the shipyard is now overgrown and has fallen into disrepair.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|644|390}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Western Islets|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Unity Island====<br /> A frequently contested landmass in Unity Bay (between Durham and the Shipwreck), declared a no-violence zone by a group of powerful clans, and now controlled by a pirate brigand known as [[the Brotherhood of the Coast]]. The northern tip is called Cape Bonobo, and the southern tip is called Cape Shark, to reflect the former names of the island (Shark island and Bonobo Island). The body of water between Unity Island and the mainland is called Expedition Channel, and the body of water to the east is Cargo Cult Sea, both names honoring the two clans who originally discovered the island.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|568|416}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Unity Island|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ===Landmarks===<br /> ====Mt. Shartak====<br /> The imposing bulk of Mt. Shartak (or Mt Eramus) looms over the whole island, and contains many ledges and caves to explore. Some of the caves are very deep, and are inhabited by dangerous bears, aggressive flightless birds called &quot;shargles&quot;, and swarms of aggressive rats. Known by some natives as &quot;Blood Mountain&quot;.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|365|455}}<br /> <br /> ====Cave complex====<br /> Besides the caves around Mt. Shartak, there is another cave to explore at at [-70.429,+26.449] (there's a [[map of caves near Dalpok]])<br /> <br /> {{pplink|429|449}}<br /> <br /> ====Echo Beach====<br /> <br /> The broad expanse of sand dunes located to the far west of the island.

Notable for its broad, slowly curving expanse of white sand, but little else.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|510|532}}<br /> <br /> ==== Santa's Splash ====<br /> <br /> The waterfall at the source of the southern river, so named because of Santa Claus's nearby appearance in Christmas 2006.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|351|429}}<br /> <br /> ==== Long Fin River ====<br /> <br /> The northern river flowing from the beach west of the shipwreck, ending in [[Archer's Pool]]. The clan [[River Born Fury]] had their headquarters at the delta. The river was named after Shartak's most notorious pirate killer, [[Long Fin Killie]].<br /> <br /> ====River Hazen====<br /> <br /> Named after the most decorated combat Veteran of York WB Hazen. Notorius strong arm of the [[Order of Patriots]]. The River runs from Mt Shartak south to the Sea. The River Hazen is surrounded at it's mouth by the Hazen Delta; York's Swamps.<br /> <br /> ===Law Enforcement===<br /> ====Derby====<br /> =====Derby Hospitallers=====<br /> Although not an explicit police group, the Hospitallers are sworn to attack and punish &quot;vile criminals&quot;, so it's probably worth speaking to them if you get PKed around Derby. The building is actually a hospital, but there's almost always a hospitaller either inside or just outside.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|093|352}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby Hospitallers|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====1st Derby Privateers=====<br /> The Privateers have declared their intention to, amongst other things, cleanse Derby of PKers.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|098|355}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[1st Derby Privateers|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Durham====<br /> =====Durham Police=====<br /> The Durham Police Department was established in March 08 to replace the disbanded Pistoleers. They established an effective defense against the Headhunters in April 08 with the assistance of the Durham Model Army and the 1st Colonial Militia.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|652|340}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Durham Police|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> =====Colonial Police=====<br /> The island's oldest and largest police group, the Colonial Police have managed to make York one of the safest towns on Shartak. They offer protection to all outsiders, and have been known to help friendly natives too.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|368|313}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Colonial Police|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ===Medical Facilities===<br /> ====Dalpok====<br /> =====Medical Hut=====<br /> Medical huts are an inexhaustible source of healing herbs and beverages, especially for those of you who have scavenging.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|437|449}}<br /> <br /> =====Shubar=====<br /> In those situations where A&amp;E just can't help, your local shaman will heal you fully for a mere 25AP, and bring you safely home in the process.

Jakota only helps those from the Shipwreck, however.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|541|543}}<br /> <br /> =====Large Cabin=====<br /> The Large Cabin is an inexhaustible source of first-aid kits, although find rates are much lower than in standard medical huts, resulting in a constant shortage of medical supplies at the shipwreck.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|541|546}}<br /> <br /> ====Wiksik====<br /> =====Medical Hut=====<br /> Medical huts are an inexhaustible source of healing herbs and beverages, especially for those of you who have scavenging.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|240|410}}<br /> <br /> =====Tapran=====<br /> In those situations where A&amp;E just can't help, your local shaman will heal you fully for a mere 25AP, and bring you safely home in the process.

<p>SeriousSam: /* Midway Island */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Parchment Pages.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ==Don't Panic!==<br /> <br /> Ever wonder where you're going, or how to get there? Taken so many wrong turns that you're probably back where you started? After a while, do all those damn trees start to look the same? It's a good thing we have [[Items#GPS unit|GPS Units]], eh? The reassuring sight of those incomprehensible numbers is sure to steady the heart of any misplaced adventurer. Now you know exactly where you are!<br /> <br /> ''So where the hell is everywhere else?''<br /> <br /> ==Navigational Tips and Tricks==<br /> [[Image:Corodinate example.png|thumb|right|Less confused yet?]]<br /> The GPS displays X and Y co-ordinates, like a graph. Step west, and the first number goes down; east and it goes up. Similarly, going north increments the second number, and heading south decreases it. To get to a given set of co-ordinates, the best method is often to move diagonally until one co-ordinate is correct, then move in a straight line along that axis until you reach your target. Just be aware that occasionally this technique may result in you walking into a mountain.<br /> <br /> ===Roads===<br /> A fairly extensive, if rather variable, road network connects the settlements of Shartak. If you can find a signposted road, this will often get you to your location quickly. Just make sure the road isn't a randomly cut red herring, and don't sleep on the road - banditry is rife in many regions. A map of the theoretical road network can be found [[Civilized Highway Society|here]], but some of these roads may not actually exist at any given time; the current [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/ Ubermap] will show which ones are currently navigable.<br /> <br /> ===Addons===<br /> <br /> Those of you with [http://www.getfirefox.com Firefox] should definitely consider getting a couple of the [http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/ GreaseMonkey] scripts from the [[The Shartak Wiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]] page.<br /> <br /> *[http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/3451.user.js The Shartak Map Overlay] gives you the option of placing a complete copy of the island map over your own in-game map screen, which is a huge help for those of you without GPS units. Use it to find your position relative to one of the southern towns, then go there and get a GPS already.<br /> <br /> *We seriously can't hype the [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/shartakubermapper.user.js Shartak UBER MAP] enough. As well as automatically collecting data about your surroundings and using this to create a constantly updated map of the island, It gives you access to a satellite map showing your exact location, a zoomable, scrollable map of your local area, and an in-game 15x11 map below your normal 5x5 map. We couldn't play Shartak without it.<br /> <br /> *Whenever you have a GPS signal, the [http://www.leaky.org/campdirections.user.js Shartak Camp Directions] script will give you directions to each of the six towns and the shipwreck, as the crow flies. It's a great tool when you don't want to have to keep checking the satellite or plan a proper route.<br /> <br /> ===The Quick Way Home===<br /> You can easily get back to your home camp from any point on the island in less than 50AP! If you're by the shore, jump into the sea and swim out to deeper waters, then splash around in small circles laughing manically until the sharks finally drag you beneath the waves. Respawn at your home shaman for 25AP and you're done! If you're inland, find a large, aggressive animal, sock it one, and wait for it to get you back. There are of course many variations on this trick, involving poisonous berries, angry farmers, swarms of killer bees, etc.<br /> <br /> ==Locations, Locations, Locations...==<br /> This is a list of interesting, useful, or important locations in Shartak. Each is given a brief description, a set of GPS coordinates, and a link to the appropriate Ubermap satellite and map roamer pages. Obviously this won't be a definitive list, so everyone is of course encouraged to add new locations as they are found or created.<br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> <br /> ===Settlements===<br /> ====Dalpok====<br /> This native village is close to the Shipwreck and thus a frequent target for pirate raids. The area between Dalpok and the Shipwreck, known as Corsair Boulevard, is a constant warzone, and much fighting also occurs to the south, against outsiders coming up from York and Durham. Certain pirates refer to Dalpok as &quot;New Amsterdam&quot; and regard it as their own, although a land scam in '06 saw some pirates relinquish their claim to the town to a mad outsider called Maevar Raenick who unsuccessfully proclaimed himself mayor. [[Ropata]] is one of the chief elders of Dalpok, and the [[Dalpok Defence Force]] seems to have fallen into disarray. Dalpok was once the home of [[Jungle Drums]], the sole native newspaper.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|437|443}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Dalpok|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Derby====<br /> Arguably the most isolated outsider town, Derby is generally quiet and safe these days (despite being the first target of [[the WickSick Headhunters]]) and makes a good base for hunting expeditions. Derby is the only town with a working judicial system, a hospital, a hotel (the [[Hotel de Derby]]), a local newspaper called the [[Derby Evening Press]], and a duelling academy. A number of other useful institutions are scattered througout the town. It is very efficiently run by members of the [[Eastern Federation]], a coalition of several military factions within the town. A heavy sword mining operation run by the Eastern Federation sits in the nearby delta swamp. Derby infrequently assists its sister towns York and Durham with various threats, and has cordial relations with Raktam and friendly pirates.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|095|350}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Durham====<br /> The Durham peninsula is dominated by Durham and by its northern neighbour the [[Indepedent Republic of Fort Creedy]]. It was for many years largely controlled by the [[Durham Pistoleers]], a nationalist militia crushed by the [[Commonwealth of Greater Raktam and Creedy]] in December '07 during the [[Burgundy War]]. It is a frequent port of call for pirate traders collecting medical supplies for the shipwreck. Durham is the only town on Shartak with the first democratically elected leader, Governor Jacobi. The current governor is Ron Burgundy who won re-election in March. Durham is home to several substantial institutions, notable the [[Durham Model Army]] and its rival the [[Durham Police]], and [[Durham Utility]] with its bank.<br /> {{pplink|648|343}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Durham|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Raktam====<br /> This native kingdom was in '06 the scene of a bloody civil insurgency between the Scavengers and the Raktamites and their allies, resulting in murders, burning of buildings, and extortion. This internecine conflict ended with the reform of the [[Scavengers]] clan in February '07. Frequent attacks on visiting outsiders deter most trade with the village. In March '07, Raktam was the starting point of the inaugural [[Raktam Race]]. The Queen of Greater Raktam, Blue Hummingbird, was the sovereign ruler of Raktam and its surrounding territories, through the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] and its Commonwealth with the [[Independent Republic of Fort Creedy]]. Upon her assassination in February '08, Raktam and its territories are ruled by [[SofaKing]], the Queen's heir. Raktam is the centre of native politics and intrigue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|322|469}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Raktam|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Shipwreck====<br /> The base of all pirates on Shartak, the shipwreck is dangerous and anarchic but conveniently compact. Visiting is a unique, if sometimes short, experience. The Shipwreck and the surrounding precinct was irregularly - some would say negligently - patrolled by senior members of the Pirate Defence Force of the [[Jolly Roger Gang]], the [[Scurvy Crew of the Hellborn Strumpet]], and the [[1st Imperial Privateers Regiment]], who each meted out gleeful vengeance on recidivist pirate murderers until the demise of each of these clans. The principal pirate clan is now the [[Brotherhood of the Coast]], although it is usually not in residence. A one-masted sloop or cutter, the shipwreck itself is known as either the Hellborn Strumpet or the Missionary Position, and its compartments and cabins are frequently haunted by dangerous ghosts. The view from the crow's nest is obscured by fog. [[Utility Bank]] has a branch in the main cabin.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|541|543}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Shipwreck|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Wiksik====<br /> Wiksik is the most populous of the native settlements. It is not to be confused with [[The WickSick Headhunters|Wicksick]]. Wiksik is the home of spiritual matters on the island, usually of a sinister bent, ably demonstrated by the [[The Necromancers Guild|Necromancer's Guild]]. Wiksik and the surrounding lands form the [[Kingdom Of Skulls]], a native homeland whose people do not tolerate aggressive outsiders. Wiksik is a point of easy access to nearby [[Wiksik#Crystal Lake|Crystal Lake]] and the far North Eastern swamp. A regulalrly used road called the Armachu Trail runs between Wiksik and Raktam. In general Wiksik is intolerant of even peaceful outsiders.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|239|405}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Wiksik|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> The largest of the outsider settlements, [[York]] is a bustling and exciting town, except for pirates, who have a fairly short life expectancy within its limits. Peaceful native shamans are welcome within certain areas, primarily for their ability to exorcise ghosts. Nonetheless its relative tolerance is somewhat subdued by a proliferation of extremist groups such as the [[1st Colonial Militia]] and the [[Order of Patriots]] who engage in assassinations of individuals within the city borders. This extremism is fueled by the fact that York is frequently the target of raids by various groups. York has a very long history of pirate invasions, attackes by mercenaries, and conflict with natives, which are detailed in the wiki. The town is now largely administered by 5punk.co.uk with the assistance of the long-established [[Colonial Police]], and repels hostile forces with well-honed efficiency. York is by far the best defended town on Shartak. Once the host of two rather excellent newspapers, [[The Yorkman|The Yorkman]], and its competitor, the [[Shartak Financial Times]], it no longer has any press. A small farming district once sat on the Margaret River, north-east of York, run by York non-combatants. A large heavy sword mining operation is in the Margaret River delta, controlled by York authorities.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|371|314}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[York|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Locations]]<br /> <br /> ===Academic and Research Institutions===<br /> ====Derby====<br /> =====Derby Academy Fencing Hall=====<br /> Run by the Derby Hospitallers, the fencing hall allows students to practice their combat and healing skills.

When the hall is staffed by a Hospitaller, just ask your question, or say which field you need advice on (general gameplay advice is also available on request), and they will happily oblige. If the hall is unstaffed, you can generally ask your question at the [[Parchment Pages#Derby Academy Fencing Hall|Fencing Hall]] or [[Parchment Pages#Derby Hospital|Hospital]], and wait in the lecture hall for your answer.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|093|350}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby Academy|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> =====Shartak Crytozoological Society=====<br /> A society dedicated to the cataloging and understanding of Shartak's unique and diverse wildlife.

Each branch, its bronze door framed by marble arches, is ostensibly neutral territory, in order to facilitate mercantile transactions, although this is understandably difficult to enforce.

It emerged from the sea in April '07, revealing the ruins of a two-story stone tower. The first person on the island was [[Simeon Carter]] of Derby, and so the channel across from the mainland to the island is called [[Carter Channel]]. It is known by some natives as Barbekuria, and was used as for various religious ceremonies until a joint [[Eastern Federation]]/ [[York Coalition]] attack. As of November '07 it was occupied by the French: the tower is called Aix-de-Bains and the island called Ile de Mi-Chemins. [[The French]] operate a casino on the top floor of the tower, called [[Casino Royale]]. The Island is now under armed dispute between members of the [[Kingdom Of Skulls]] and the [[1st Colonial Militia]].

The northern tip is called Cape Bonobo, and the southern tip is called Cape Shark, to reflect the former names of the island (Shark island and Bonobo Island). The body of water between Unity Island and the mainland is called Expedition Channel, and the body of water to the east is Cargo Cult Sea, both names honoring the two clans who originally discovered the island.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|568|416}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Unity Island|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ===Landmarks===<br /> ====Mt. Shartak====<br /> The imposing bulk of Mt. Shartak (or Mt Eramus) looms over the whole island, and contains many ledges and caves to explore.

Known by some natives as &quot;Blood Mountain&quot;.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|365|455}}<br /> <br /> ====Cave complex====<br /> Besides the caves around Mt.

The clan [[River Born Fury]] had their headquarters at the delta. The river was named after Shartak's most notorious pirate killer, [[Long Fin Killie]].<br /> <br /> ===Law Enforcement===<br /> ====Derby====<br /> =====Derby Hospitallers=====<br /> Although not an explicit police group, the Hospitallers are sworn to attack and punish &quot;vile criminals&quot;, so it's probably worth speaking to them if you get PKed around Derby. The building is actually a hospital, but there's almost always a hospitaller either inside or just outside.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|093|352}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby Hospitallers|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====1st Derby Privateers=====<br /> The Privateers have declared their intention to, amongst other things, cleanse Derby of PKers.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|098|355}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[1st Derby Privateers|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Durham====<br /> =====Durham Police=====<br /> The Durham Police Department was established in March 08 to replace the disbanded Pistoleers.

They offer protection to all outsiders, and have been known to help friendly natives too.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|368|313}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Colonial Police|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ===Medical Facilities===<br /> ====Dalpok====<br /> =====Medical Hut=====<br /> Medical huts are an inexhaustible source of healing herbs and beverages, especially for those of you who have scavenging.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|437|449}}<br /> <br /> =====Shubar=====<br /> In those situations where A&amp;E just can't help, your local shaman will heal you fully for a mere 25AP, and bring you safely home in the process.

<p>SeriousSam: /* Midway Island */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Parchment Pages.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ==Don't Panic!==<br /> <br /> Ever wonder where you're going, or how to get there? Taken so many wrong turns that you're probably back where you started? After a while, do all those damn trees start to look the same? It's a good thing we have [[Items#GPS unit|GPS Units]], eh? The reassuring sight of those incomprehensible numbers is sure to steady the heart of any misplaced adventurer. Now you know exactly where you are!<br /> <br /> ''So where the hell is everywhere else?''<br /> <br /> ==Navigational Tips and Tricks==<br /> [[Image:Corodinate example.png|thumb|right|Less confused yet?]]<br /> The GPS displays X and Y co-ordinates, like a graph. Step west, and the first number goes down; east and it goes up. Similarly, going north increments the second number, and heading south decreases it. To get to a given set of co-ordinates, the best method is often to move diagonally until one co-ordinate is correct, then move in a straight line along that axis until you reach your target. Just be aware that occasionally this technique may result in you walking into a mountain.<br /> <br /> ===Roads===<br /> A fairly extensive, if rather variable, road network connects the settlements of Shartak. If you can find a signposted road, this will often get you to your location quickly. Just make sure the road isn't a randomly cut red herring, and don't sleep on the road - banditry is rife in many regions. A map of the theoretical road network can be found [[Civilized Highway Society|here]], but some of these roads may not actually exist at any given time; the current [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/ Ubermap] will show which ones are currently navigable.<br /> <br /> ===Addons===<br /> <br /> Those of you with [http://www.getfirefox.com Firefox] should definitely consider getting a couple of the [http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/ GreaseMonkey] scripts from the [[The Shartak Wiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]] page.<br /> <br /> *[http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/3451.user.js The Shartak Map Overlay] gives you the option of placing a complete copy of the island map over your own in-game map screen, which is a huge help for those of you without GPS units. Use it to find your position relative to one of the southern towns, then go there and get a GPS already.<br /> <br /> *We seriously can't hype the [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/shartakubermapper.user.js Shartak UBER MAP] enough. As well as automatically collecting data about your surroundings and using this to create a constantly updated map of the island, It gives you access to a satellite map showing your exact location, a zoomable, scrollable map of your local area, and an in-game 15x11 map below your normal 5x5 map. We couldn't play Shartak without it.<br /> <br /> *Whenever you have a GPS signal, the [http://www.leaky.org/campdirections.user.js Shartak Camp Directions] script will give you directions to each of the six towns and the shipwreck, as the crow flies. It's a great tool when you don't want to have to keep checking the satellite or plan a proper route.<br /> <br /> ===The Quick Way Home===<br /> You can easily get back to your home camp from any point on the island in less than 50AP! If you're by the shore, jump into the sea and swim out to deeper waters, then splash around in small circles laughing manically until the sharks finally drag you beneath the waves. Respawn at your home shaman for 25AP and you're done! If you're inland, find a large, aggressive animal, sock it one, and wait for it to get you back. There are of course many variations on this trick, involving poisonous berries, angry farmers, swarms of killer bees, etc.<br /> <br /> ==Locations, Locations, Locations...==<br /> This is a list of interesting, useful, or important locations in Shartak. Each is given a brief description, a set of GPS coordinates, and a link to the appropriate Ubermap satellite and map roamer pages. Obviously this won't be a definitive list, so everyone is of course encouraged to add new locations as they are found or created.<br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> <br /> ===Settlements===<br /> ====Dalpok====<br /> This native village is close to the Shipwreck and thus a frequent target for pirate raids. The area between Dalpok and the Shipwreck, known as Corsair Boulevard, is a constant warzone, and much fighting also occurs to the south, against outsiders coming up from York and Durham. Certain pirates refer to Dalpok as &quot;New Amsterdam&quot; and regard it as their own, although a land scam in '06 saw some pirates relinquish their claim to the town to a mad outsider called Maevar Raenick who unsuccessfully proclaimed himself mayor. [[Ropata]] is one of the chief elders of Dalpok, and the [[Dalpok Defence Force]] seems to have fallen into disarray. Dalpok was once the home of [[Jungle Drums]], the sole native newspaper.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|437|443}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Dalpok|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Derby====<br /> Arguably the most isolated outsider town, Derby is generally quiet and safe these days (despite being the first target of [[the WickSick Headhunters]]) and makes a good base for hunting expeditions. Derby is the only town with a working judicial system, a hospital, a hotel (the [[Hotel de Derby]]), a local newspaper called the [[Derby Evening Press]], and a duelling academy. A number of other useful institutions are scattered througout the town. It is very efficiently run by members of the [[Eastern Federation]], a coalition of several military factions within the town. A heavy sword mining operation run by the Eastern Federation sits in the nearby delta swamp. Derby infrequently assists its sister towns York and Durham with various threats, and has cordial relations with Raktam and friendly pirates.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|095|350}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Durham====<br /> The Durham peninsula is dominated by Durham and by its northern neighbour the [[Indepedent Republic of Fort Creedy]]. It was for many years largely controlled by the [[Durham Pistoleers]], a nationalist militia crushed by the [[Commonwealth of Greater Raktam and Creedy]] in December '07 during the [[Burgundy War]]. It is a frequent port of call for pirate traders collecting medical supplies for the shipwreck. Durham is the only town on Shartak with the first democratically elected leader, Governor Jacobi. The current governor is Ron Burgundy who won re-election in March. Durham is home to several substantial institutions, notable the [[Durham Model Army]] and its rival the [[Durham Police]], and [[Durham Utility]] with its bank.<br /> {{pplink|648|343}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Durham|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Raktam====<br /> This native kingdom was in '06 the scene of a bloody civil insurgency between the Scavengers and the Raktamites and their allies, resulting in murders, burning of buildings, and extortion. This internecine conflict ended with the reform of the [[Scavengers]] clan in February '07. Frequent attacks on visiting outsiders deter most trade with the village. In March '07, Raktam was the starting point of the inaugural [[Raktam Race]]. The Queen of Greater Raktam, Blue Hummingbird, was the sovereign ruler of Raktam and its surrounding territories, through the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] and its Commonwealth with the [[Independent Republic of Fort Creedy]]. Upon her assassination in February '08, Raktam and its territories are ruled by [[SofaKing]], the Queen's heir. Raktam is the centre of native politics and intrigue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|322|469}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Raktam|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Shipwreck====<br /> The base of all pirates on Shartak, the shipwreck is dangerous and anarchic but conveniently compact. Visiting is a unique, if sometimes short, experience. The Shipwreck and the surrounding precinct was irregularly - some would say negligently - patrolled by senior members of the Pirate Defence Force of the [[Jolly Roger Gang]], the [[Scurvy Crew of the Hellborn Strumpet]], and the [[1st Imperial Privateers Regiment]], who each meted out gleeful vengeance on recidivist pirate murderers until the demise of each of these clans. The principal pirate clan is now the [[Brotherhood of the Coast]], although it is usually not in residence. A one-masted sloop or cutter, the shipwreck itself is known as either the Hellborn Strumpet or the Missionary Position, and its compartments and cabins are frequently haunted by dangerous ghosts. The view from the crow's nest is obscured by fog. [[Utility Bank]] has a branch in the main cabin.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|541|543}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Shipwreck|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Wiksik====<br /> Wiksik is the most populous of the native settlements. It is not to be confused with [[The WickSick Headhunters|Wicksick]]. Wiksik is the home of spiritual matters on the island, usually of a sinister bent, ably demonstrated by the [[The Necromancers Guild|Necromancer's Guild]]. Wiksik and the surrounding lands form the [[Kingdom Of Skulls]], a native homeland whose people do not tolerate aggressive outsiders. Wiksik is a point of easy access to nearby [[Wiksik#Crystal Lake|Crystal Lake]] and the far North Eastern swamp. A regulalrly used road called the Armachu Trail runs between Wiksik and Raktam. In general Wiksik is intolerant of even peaceful outsiders.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|239|405}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Wiksik|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> The largest of the outsider settlements, [[York]] is a bustling and exciting town, except for pirates, who have a fairly short life expectancy within its limits. Peaceful native shamans are welcome within certain areas, primarily for their ability to exorcise ghosts. Nonetheless its relative tolerance is somewhat subdued by a proliferation of extremist groups such as the [[1st Colonial Militia]] and the [[Order of Patriots]] who engage in assassinations of individuals within the city borders. This extremism is fueled by the fact that York is frequently the target of raids by various groups. York has a very long history of pirate invasions, attackes by mercenaries, and conflict with natives, which are detailed in the wiki. The town is now largely administered by 5punk.co.uk with the assistance of the long-established [[Colonial Police]], and repels hostile forces with well-honed efficiency. York is by far the best defended town on Shartak. Once the host of two rather excellent newspapers, [[The Yorkman|The Yorkman]], and its competitor, the [[Shartak Financial Times]], it no longer has any press. A small farming district once sat on the Margaret River, north-east of York, run by York non-combatants. A large heavy sword mining operation is in the Margaret River delta, controlled by York authorities.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|371|314}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[York|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Locations]]<br /> <br /> ===Academic and Research Institutions===<br /> ====Derby====<br /> =====Derby Academy Fencing Hall=====<br /> Run by the Derby Hospitallers, the fencing hall allows students to practice their combat and healing skills. Students are allowed to attack each other, so long as nobody is wounded below 20HP, and are also encouraged to heal one another to gain further experience.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|094|350}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby Academy|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Derby Academy Lecture Hall=====<br /> Run by the Derby Hospitallers, the lecture hall provides advice to students on a range of matters. When the hall is staffed by a Hospitaller, just ask your question, or say which field you need advice on (general gameplay advice is also available on request), and they will happily oblige. If the hall is unstaffed, you can generally ask your question at the [[Parchment Pages#Derby Academy Fencing Hall|Fencing Hall]] or [[Parchment Pages#Derby Hospital|Hospital]], and wait in the lecture hall for your answer.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|093|350}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby Academy|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> =====Shartak Crytozoological Society=====<br /> A society dedicated to the cataloging and understanding of Shartak's unique and diverse wildlife. Their headquarters in York are often occupied by the clan's founder, Sir John Sevier.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|368|314}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Shartak Cryptozoological Society|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====York Observatory=====<br /> <br /> Once run by Ibn al Xuffasch, the [[York Observatory]] is dedicated to identifying life beyond the skies. The Observatory is now derelict and is no longer operational.<br /> <br /> ===Commercial Buildings===<br /> ====Dalpok====<br /> =====Imperial Bank=====<br /> <br /> The 1st Imperial Bank in Dalpok was once operated by Monkeypaw. Since Monkeypaw's demise in '06 this branch is now closed.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|436|441}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[1st Imperial Bank|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Tamdal Tak=====<br /> Dalpok's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items.

Due to his positioning, he generally stocks items most widely available to outsiders.

The bank has an association with the [[Templar Bank]].<br /> <br /> {{pplink|320|471}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[1st Imperial Bank|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Raktam Security Consultancy=====<br /> In the basement of the Raktam Tavern, the RSC aims was to provide an alternative to the now demobilised Mercenary's Guild. The Consultancy is now defunct.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|321|473}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Raktam Security Consultancy|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Grand Vizier's Markets=====<br /> <br /> The Grand Vizier's Markets, was established by the Queen of Greater Raktam, Blue Hummingbird, in December '07, in honour of her Grand Vizier, [[Neil Tathers]] and was in the southern quarter of Raktam. It consisted of a cluster of huts in the south of Raktam which may be used by any peaceful trader of any nation. Trade in the markets was tariff free. Repeated attacks on foreign trsders by local Raktamis forced the closure of the markets in Jan '08.<br /> <br /> =====Tamdal Tik=====<br /> Raktam's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items.

Speaks the native tongue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|319|472}}<br /> <br /> ====Shipwreck====<br /> =====Trader Sam=====<br /> The Shipwreck's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items.

Speaks the native tongue.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|235|405}}<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> =====Templar Bank=====<br /> <br /> The Templar Bank branch in York provides deposit services, loans, and inter-branch money transfers. Each branch, its bronze door framed by marble arches, is ostensibly neutral territory, in order to facilitate mercantile transactions, although this is understandably difficult to enforce. Both outsiders and natives are welcome within any branch of the bank. The branch is operated by Archbishop Blackburne.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|368|314}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Templar Bank|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====Trader Harry=====<br /> York's local trader, stocking (and buying) a wide range of items. Due to his positioning, he generally stocks items most widely available to outsiders. The only known trader to have ever brokered a Heavy Sword deal (taking a hefty cut in the process), although these are usually arranged beforehand with the owner of the sword.

The Republic declared independence in early 07, and has a small but permanent population of both outsiders and natives. Since forming a commonwealth with Raktam in November '07, a Raktam garrison has operated from the armoury.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|666|380}}<br /> <br /> ====Raktam====<br /> =====Chikram=====<br /> Three huts a short walk north of Raktam. Until recently occupied by the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] as a northern outpost, this was a favourite haunt of pirates.

It has been heavily fought over in the past but is now firmly in pirate hands and has been used as a gladiatorial arena between pirates engaging in boxing. The ruins are a favorite haunt of pirate-killers.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|540|530}}<br /> <br /> ====York====<br /> =====Mercenary's Guildhouse=====<br /> Formerly the headquarters of the [[Mercenary's Guild]], this was the center of Guild power in York during the second invasion, and a frequent target for [[Order of Patriots]] raids.

Shartak.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|391|480}}<br /> <br /> =====Shipwreck Peninsula Ruins=====<br /> Two ruined huts on the peninsula west of the Shipwreck.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|594|519}}<br /> <br /> =====Southern Coastal Boulevard Ruins=====<br /> Three ruined huts at the start of the Durham Peninsula, known as Piketown.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|490|365}}<br /> <br /> =====Unity Bay Ruins=====<br /> Two ruined huts near the shore of Unity Bay, on the Durham Peninsula.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|605|374}}<br /> <br /> =====York River Ruins=====<br /> Two ruined huts on the west bank of the river that flows south from Mt Shartak.

Poachers are not welcome.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|628|385}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Western Islets|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Midway Island====<br /> A small island off the south coast between [[York]] and [[Derby]]. It emerged from the sea in April '07, revealing the ruins of a two-story stone tower. The first person on the island was [[Simeon Carter]] of Derby, and so the channel across from the mainland to the island is called [[Carter Channel]]. It is known by some natives as Barbekuria, and was used as for various religious ceremonies until a joint [[Eastern Federation]]/ [[York Coalition]] attack. As of November '07 it was occupied by the French: the tower is called Aix-de-Bains and the island called Ile de Mi-Chemins. [[The French]] operate a casino on the top floor of the tower, called [[Casino Royale]]. The Island is now under armed dispute between members of the [[Kingdom of Skulls]] and the [[1st Colonial Militia]]. At present it resides in the hands of York. <br /> <br /> {{pplink|217|335}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Southern Islands|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Hawkins Island====<br /> A small island off the tip of the York Peninsula (Macdonald Point), which has been known as Killer Island and Calvin's Eye-Land. Once declared the Shartak Elephant Preserve, later claimed by the Predators of Killer Island, and then as the headquarters of the [[Kraken Hunters]], it is often used as a staging post for attacks on York.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|401|270}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Southern Islands|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Rodrigo Island====<br /> A small island to the north of Durham, discovered by Alex Rodrigo in the early weeks of the colonisation.

The northern tip is called Cape Bonobo, and the southern tip is called Cape Shark, to reflect the former names of the island (Shark island and Bonobo Island). The body of water between Unity Island and the mainland is called Expedition Channel, and the body of water to the east is Cargo Cult Sea, both names honoring the two clans who originally discovered the island.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|568|416}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Unity Island|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ===Landmarks===<br /> ====Mt. Shartak====<br /> The imposing bulk of Mt. Shartak (or Mt Eramus) looms over the whole island, and contains many ledges and caves to explore. Some of the caves are very deep, and are inhabited by dangerous bears, aggressive flightless birds called &quot;shargles&quot;, and swarms of aggressive rats. Known by some natives as &quot;Blood Mountain&quot;.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|365|455}}<br /> <br /> ====Cave complex====<br /> Besides the caves around Mt. Shartak, there is another cave to explore at at [-70.429,+26.449] (there's a [[map of caves near Dalpok]])<br /> <br /> {{pplink|429|449}}<br /> <br /> ====Echo Beach====<br /> <br /> The broad expanse of sand dunes located to the far west of the island.

Notable for its broad, slowly curving expanse of white sand, but little else.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|510|532}}<br /> <br /> ==== Santa's Splash ====<br /> <br /> The waterfall at the source of the southern river, so named because of Santa Claus's nearby appearance in Christmas 2006.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|351|429}}<br /> <br /> ==== Long Fin River ====<br /> <br /> The northern river flowing from the beach west of the shipwreck, ending in [[Archer's Pool]]. The clan [[River Born Fury]] had their headquarters at the delta. The river was named after Shartak's most notorious pirate killer, [[Long Fin Killie]].<br /> <br /> ===Law Enforcement===<br /> ====Derby====<br /> =====Derby Hospitallers=====<br /> Although not an explicit police group, the Hospitallers are sworn to attack and punish &quot;vile criminals&quot;, so it's probably worth speaking to them if you get PKed around Derby. The building is actually a hospital, but there's almost always a hospitaller either inside or just outside.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|093|352}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[Derby Hospitallers|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> =====1st Derby Privateers=====<br /> The Privateers have declared their intention to, amongst other things, cleanse Derby of PKers.<br /> <br /> {{pplink|098|355}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;[[1st Derby Privateers|Wiki]]<br /> <br /> ====Durham====<br /> =====Durham Police=====<br /> The Durham Police Department was established in March 08 to replace the disbanded Pistoleers.

Many of the highly ranked Militiamen fought in the defense of York against an alliance of Mercenaries and Pirates. After the many skirmishes were over little had changed. York was safe from cutthroats but like Derby and Durham, not safe from the taint of the savages. Derby and Durham refused to exclude natives and pirates from their settlements.<br /> A Declaration of Independence was voiced; it was time for the Colonials of Shartak to defend themselves from the hostile natives and their wicked agendas. The need for people to stand up and be counted and serve their new town was paramount. Thus the 1st Colonial Militia was born. Made up of those fighting men who bravely volunteered to fight for the freedom of a new York and defend others with their own lives, the 1st is made up of people from every walk of life; from soldiers to scientists. <br /> <br /> The Colonial Militia is always looking for more brave men and women to join their ranks. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Battle of LG.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Defenders of York manning the barricades.]]<br /> <br /> == Enlist Today! ==<br /> <br /> We need heroes like YOU! : Join the 1st Colonial Militia and save Shartak.

Already the purge of the hostile savages and pirates has begun. The Colonial Militia has also been instrumental in fighting the Bill plague of York. <br /> <br /> Commissar Alexander has begun investigations into Derby to weed out and cleanse the taint of the savage and the plague of the pirate. He is joined by Confessor Lines and the living saint Randall Flagg. Derby is most grateful for the Grey Ghost and his skills.<br /> <br /> '''2007'''<br /> <br /> '''June 2nd'''<br /> <br /> Following differences with the Coalition, the dissolution of the council and a concern that the Coalition was not fulfilling the intended role that the Captain foresaw the CM has left the Coalition to pursue the defense of York independant of the central YC command. <br /> <br /> '''May 26th''' <br /> <br /> Following some impressive work in the York cup with the York Coalition the Colonial Militia has pledged it's full support to the new union of Pro-York groups. The Militia is ordered to muster in Yorktown for the defense of York against a pirate raid in Early June.<br /> <br /> York Coalition boards:<br /> http://z8.invisionfree.com/CCTU/index.php?act=idx<br /> <br /> '''April 20th'''<br /> <br /> The Militia has agreed to plans to join the new York Coalition.

With a secure perimeter established and York safe from any sizeable threat all troops are ordered to move out and contact officers ASAP regarding new objectives. The best way to do this is to PM an officer on the official forum. <br /> <br /> The Colonial Militia would like to thank the Colonial Police for it's hospitality and particularly their Captain for his everlasting friendship and support. The CM will be back for the 'York Cup'. Area of Operations are classified as of present. <br /> <br /> In other news the announcement of Elections has been a great victory for the Pro-Outisder cause in Durham. The Colonial Militia looks forward to working with Governor Nathan Hale once the election is won. <br /> <br /> '''February 21st 2007'''<br /> <br /> The Colonial Militia is no longer a member of the York Alliance. Differences in objectives have lead to the withdrawal of CM forces from the Alliance. Colonial Militia troops will continue with Sweep and Clear and Peacekeeping missions independent of the York Alliance. All Alliance troops are to be treated as neutral. <br /> <br /> Colonial troops have been active in the fourth Invasion of York. The MG are now broken and it is only a matter of time before the 1st Imperial Privateers and JRG are routed. The Captain commends the bravery and efficiency of his men.

However, squares within the village of York will be displayed as &quot;York&quot; on the game map, while jungle squares will be displayed as &quot;Jungle&quot;.<br /> * The numbers on the map are merely for local reference and are not related to GPS coordinates at all.<br /> <br /> ==York: A Rough Guide==<br /> <br /> [[Image:Map of York.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Map courtesy of York citizen [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=487 Gitboy].&lt;br&gt;'''Click to enlarge'''.]]<br /> <br /> Frequently referred to as the 'big city' of Shartak, York is the most populous as well as the busiest, most bustling settlement on Shartak. It has a colourful and frequently bloody history, and has developed a unique culture and identity, very different in character from liberal [[Durham]] in the far west, and staunchly-moderate [[Derby]] in the far east, both of which have never seen themselves invaded (York's central location led to early invasions, and several political disputes and pirate-vs.-outsider hostility have led to a series of more recent invasions of York. '''See [[York#History of York|History of York]] for more''') and as such have developed much more peacefully, and welcoming to all. York is unquestionably more institutionally outsider-nationalist than either Derby or Durham.<br /> <br /> York was the first town to host a full-time [[Colonial Police|police force]], and was the birthplace of the criminal [[Mercenary's Guild]] and a shadowy [[Order of Patriots|secret society]] which has been active in York affairs since the days of the first waves of pirate attacks. Many, many others groups have been significantly involved in York affairs (See partial list below).<br /> <br /> The convoluted political situation is matched in intrigue only by the bustling social scene. The settlement boasts two busy taverns ([[Czechy's]], at (11,09) on the map above, and [[the Waugh Arms]] at (04,09) on the map above), as well as the island's first and most successful very-widely-read [[The Yorkman|newspaper]], and a very busy Medical Supplies Hut which serves as a forum for public speeches and debate, conversations, and gossip, even though words can sometimes be drowned out by incessant wailing from spirits.<br /> <br /> Another social development of note in York had been the proliferation of outsider religion. Several houses of worship and religious organisations have arisen in York. In the very early days a man set up a peaceable and quiet church in mid-York, not long after Derby had set up its first church. This man's voice has since been drowned out (he has apparently left the island) and in typical York fashion, religion has become radicalised in the city, with frequent religious violence. York currently hosts a [[Holy Mission|hardline Catholic church organisation]] and a [[Shartak Protestant League|hardline protestant church]], whose members frequently attack one another, as well as a surprisingly moderate and agreeable [[Parchment_Pages#York_Synagogue|Jewish synagogue]] in South-York. Native pagan religions are generally not tolerated in York. The Catholic York-based [[Holy Mission]] have even taking to crusading against &quot;native heresy&quot;.<br /> <br /> '''Survival Tips:''' If you're just visiting, try to stay clear of the constant power struggles and not to upset any of the major groups. Sleep somewhere like [[the Waugh Arms]], [[CzEcHy's Tavern]], [[Congregation Tafas Shalva]] or the RE field hospital so that the [[Colonial Police]] will know if you get attacked. Take extra care if you're a [[pirate]] - several groups and many unaligned Yorkmen will attack you without provocation.<br /> <br /> == Points of interest ==<br /> === Medical Supplies Hut ===<br /> The busiest place in York, regularly featuring upwards of three dozen people inside at any one time. As you can see on the map above, it is located at the far north end of York. The coordinates are [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/closeup.php?sk=1&amp;sc=1&amp;cx=-70369&amp;cy=26320 -70.369,+26.320]. The hut is filled with crates which contain abandoned medical supplies, which people freely take, to heal themselves, to heal others, and for monetary gain ([[trade]] them in for gold, especially in towns without access to [[first aid kit]]s who will pay top dollar for them, the three native towns and the [[shipwreck]]). There are several doctors who have taken up permanent residence there, and many wounded people come into the medical hut to be healed. A constant problem in the hut is [[spirit]]s wailing and injuring people,but several friendly [[shaman]]s (notably [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=1471 lacuna]) have taken up the job of keeping it free of hostile spirits. Renegades who murder these friendly pro-York shamans are hated by all.<br /> <br /> The Medical Supplies Hut also serves as a major platform for public speeches, debates, and is the main centre in York for conversation and gossip, owing to its large population.<br /> <br /> === Trader Harry's ===<br /> The trading hut in York, located at [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/closeup.php?sk=1&amp;sc=1&amp;cx=-70367&amp;cy=26313 -70.367,+26.313]. Frequently out of necessary supplies, and owned by a crooked trader who is known to cheat customers. Harry uses his profits from selling inferior goods at inflated prices to advertise fairly often in [[The Yorkman]], and in purchasing new guard dogs. Customers angry at being ripped off or at Harry being out of stock of most items often kill the guard dog to express their anger.<br /> <br /> === [[CzEcHy's Tavern]] ===<br /> Directly west of the Trader's hut, located at [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/closeup.php?sk=1&amp;sc=1&amp;cx=-70368&amp;cy=26313 -70.368,+26.313] is the astoundingly wonderful Tavern owned by {{profile|1603|czech1}}. Feel free to drop by and spend a night or two in safety. Whether you're a pirate, a native, or an elusive murderer wanted by all, you're still welcome at the tavern (as long as you dont kill anyone inside.) Usually quite busy. Czechy's was the site of the miraculous [[York Christmas Truce|Christmas Truce]].<br /> <br /> UPDATE: Due to the popularity of the Tavern and the increasing demand for quality home-cooked food, CzEcHy's has expanded into the property to the north of the tavern. CzEcHy's Bistro and Grillbar will cater for all your culinary delights and we offer specials that are not listed on the 'a la carte' menu - just look for the &quot;Daily Specials&quot; board. Our Egon Ronay-recognised chef, Mr. S0S, will also do his best to cater for any 'off-the-menu' requests.<br /> <br /> Dress code is smart-casual, with or without nose-bones. Shrunken heads are not permitted although these may be left in our cloakroom for later collection. Bon appetite!<br /> <br /> === [[The Waugh Arms]] ===<br /> West-southwest of the York shaman at [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/closeup.php?sk=1&amp;sc=1&amp;cx=-70374&amp;cy=26313 -70.374,+26.313], on the site of the former Colonial Police Headquarters, visitors to York will find the recently-opened [[The Waugh Arms|Waugh Arms]]. All are warmly invited to stop by and enjoy the pleasures of fine food and drink, and of course enjoy the legendary hospitality of the Waugh Arms.<br /> <br /> == Roads ==<br /> <br /> ===Trail to Derby===<br /> [[Mercenary's Guild]] member [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=3322 Zydd Soral] suggested at a public meeting that the SPF create an eco-friendly Trekker's Trail; this was quickly agreed to. This trail can be followed from York to Derby. The trail, a continuation of Southern Coastal Boulevard, begins at York's medical hut and continues 35 paces northward until it turns toward the northeast to skirt the swamp. It then continues eastward to Derby. Travelers are asked to clear as they travel, but to be careful of occasional eco-terrorist attacks.<br /> <br /> ===Trail to Durham===<br /> There is a trail that connects Durham and York, the much-hailed Southern Coastal Boulevard, cleared and maintained by the [[Civilized Highway Society]] and some other volunteers, and is a major benefit for traders such as those in the [[South Shartak Trading Company]]. The trail, when in good condition, should only take slightly more than 2 days from central York to central Durham. Beware of bandits and wild animals on the road westwards!<br /> <br /> ==Groups Operating in York==<br /> Due to its population, centrality, politics, and various other factors, many groups have either claimed York as their hometown or been active in York affairs. What follows is a list of groups who have been active in York.<br /> <br /> *[[1st Colonial Militia]]<br /> *[[5punk]]<br /> *[[Civilized Highway Society]]<br /> *[[Colonial Police]]<br /> *[[First Bank of Shartak]]<br /> *[[The Holy Mission]]<br /> *[[Healers of Shartak]]<br /> *[[Order of Patriots]]<br /> *[[The Pirate Hunters]]<br /> *[[Pwotters|Pwotters!]]<br /> *[[Royal Expedition]]<br /> *[[South Shartak Trading Company]]<br /> *[[Shartak Anti-Communists]]<br /> *[[Shartak Cryptozoological Society]]<br /> *[[Shartak Preservation Front]]<br /> *[[Shartak Protestant League]]<br /> *[[York Loyalists]]<br /> *[[York Pirate Slayers]]<br /> <br /> == History of York ==<br /> York history is defined principally by two things. One: constant invasion by hostile forces, and two: the rallying of local groups, fighting off the invaders, and the hardening of domestic opinion (both &quot;civilian and York groups&quot;) in a nationalistic direction. (this cycle tends to repeat, as nationalistic sentiment then angers some implacable elements of the Shartak population, who thus come into conflict with York and eventually decide to invade).<br /> <br /> In the very beginning of the colonisation effort, York was a small outpost with a tiny population, without even a trader (though [[Kahuni]] himself was captured very early on). Slowly as things began to grow, the town developed its own identity, and has played a central role in Shartak politics ever since, serving as a lightning rod for various groups and individuals. <br /> <br /> The [[First Battle of York]] or &quot;First Invasion&quot;, is the name given to a series of native attacks on York from quite early in the colonisation effort. Natives started descending on York after word began spreading in the native settlements of the presence of large numbers of outsiders at this location. The attacks by natives were uncoordinated, but large scale violence by natives lasted approximately from March to April 2006. The [[Colonial Police]] formed in York during this period in reaction to the violence. York's population was low at the time, and only a very few around today can even still remember the 'First Invasion'. See full article '''[[First Battle of York]]''' for more.<br /> <br /> Somewhat overlapping was the also-vaguely-defiend [[Second Battle of York]] or &quot;Second Invasion&quot;. This is the name given to the &quot;pirate invasion&quot; of April-May 2006 in which dozens of unaligned pirates came south independently to attack York and victimise the people, after directions to York were posted at the shipwreck. The tremendous pirate-on-outsider violence during this period was suppsedly the original impetus for anti-piratism in York, and it is during this period that the OoP was founded (&lt;u&gt;Order Opposing Pirates&lt;/u&gt; Order Of Patriots). This initial pirate invasion has been extraordinarily politically significant for the settlement. Afterwards, numerous York groups and individuals began taking to killing all pirates and &quot;pirate sympathisers&quot; that they see in York, on sight. See full article '''[[Second Battle of York]]''' for more.<br /> <br /> The period between the end of the Second Invasion and the start of the Third Invasion is an often-forgotten period in York history, but is very significant. During this period, York was coming into its own, and its politics were up in the air. There was very strong nationalist and anti-pirate agitation by the Order of Patriots and others, but this was certainly just one of many political movements. These numerous diverse social and political currents were pulling York in all directions. In other words, the situation in York resembled somewhat the current confused situation in Durham (as of this printing). The Yorkman newspaper was founded during this period, and the Colonial Police came into their own during this inter-Invasion period, and at that time took no firm stances in York politics. They opposed the growing anti-pirate radicalism of the population because it meant attacks on many innocent pirates, not because they were political opponents of that movement, as they were apolitical. The CP were off-and-on enemies of the Order. With the shock departure of CP-founder MickR towards the very end of this inter-Invasion period, it looked like things would remain this way. But this all changed and York as a whole was swept into the arms of the nationalist anti-pirate radicals as a result a very serious crisis of the...<br /> <br /> [[Third Battle of York]], or, the &quot;First MG Invasion&quot;. The &quot;[[Mercenary's Guild]]&quot; invaded and began a general wave of violence in York starting September 20th 2006 (their withdrawal occurred on October 15th 2006), in which they killed dozens of innocent York citizens at random in an attempt to show strength and in a failed attempt to destroy the [[Order of Patriots]]. This battle rallied the York groups around a common cause, and thus had a long-lasting effect on York politics. It helped to harden York nationalism. The MG was eventually beaten back and withdrew, leaving the Order intact. The Colonial Police and many unaligned citizens took to defending the city from invasion during this MG massacre, and when the smoke cleared the Colonial Police, formerly enemies if the Order and apolitical, had become strong allies and finally fully enmeshed in York politics. Lingering bitterness and tensions between York (especially the [[Colonial Police]]) and the '[[MG gang]]', temporarily set aside for more than two weeks during and after the [[York Christmas Truce|Great Christmas Truce]], led to the resumption of hostilities on January 20th 2007 in what was soon called...<br /> <br /> The [[Fourth Battle of York]], or the &quot;Second MG Invasion&quot;. This one became the largest battle in Shartak history, with anti-York and anti-outsider groups from across the land joining forces to attack York. The 'York Alliance' of pro-York groups eventually claimed victory after the invaders were driven back.<br /> <br /> Recently, York was hit by an invasion of a different kind: mysterious signposts saying &quot;WILLIES!&quot; appeared throughout the town. Much mystery surrounds this incident, which has since become known simply as &quot;[[the WILLIES!]]&quot;.<br /> <br /> {{Locationsnav}}<br /> [[Category:Locations]]</div>

<p>SeriousSam: /* Colonial Militia Leave York Alliance */</p> <hr /> <div>==Discussion==<br /> Discuss the articles in this issue here. Although, be nice, or we may be forced to liberally splatter your comments with asterisks!<br /> <br /> Good job Yorkman editors! You got a special news just for you! Awesome read! keep up the good work! [[User:Elegost55|Elegost55]]<br /> <br /> ===Winners and Losers===<br /> Very interesting to see the statistics. The defenders did get their act together towards the end, but that was after Kjendlie spending several days constantly dead. Well done to all involved. Oh and I love the line &quot;We’re not going to say, because, well, we fear for our lives.&quot; Pure genius.--[[User:Tom Failur|Tom Failur]] 10:50, 5 March 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> '''UPDATE: It turns out that the OoP sustained one casualty during the invasion, which was not previously logged on the underworld.''' --[[User:The Yorkman|The Yorkman]] 18:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ===Elections to be Held in Durham===<br /> <br /> We, the Pistoleers resent the way this case is covered in The Yorkman. We have in no way bowed to the nationalists. The are only two reasons why we have agreed to take part in this election. First, to stop the violence in Durham. Second, to give the people of Durham a chance to show, that they agree on the Pistoleers ideal of a free, friendly and open Durham, as opposed to the aggressive isolationist approach, put forth by Nathan Hale and his compadres. We are sure, that the election will favor a liberal openminded candidate.<br /> <br /> We have in no way &quot;agreed in principle to all of their demands&quot;, we have just grown tired with being called puppets of every bogeyman group on Shartak and being deemed killers and executioners. The election will show, that the ideals of the Pistoleers, is the ideals of Durham. - Dennis Kuijt, Feb 5th<br /> <br /> :Technically, the Nationalists made demands, and you agreed to those, in principle. We apologise if you feel the way we presented that fact was unflattering. --[[User:The Yorkman|The Yorkman]] 18:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ===Trouble Out East===<br /> ===York Alliance Accused of ‘Nationalist Leanings’===<br /> Infoman? Haha. There's the same guy on another game I play and he's a real moron over there... so right here... 'tis none better. -[[User:Che|el Che]] 13:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ===Privateers Place Bounty on Kahuni===<br /> '''UPDATE: Kahuni is still alive this morning.'''<br /> <br /> ===Colonial Militia Leave York Alliance===<br /> ...and now to quote me 10 issues of The Yorkman back talking about Serious Sam.... ''In my opinion, a guy that can leave the Pro-York side so easily is a threat in itself. .... I really doubt that you are a Pro-Yorker. You talk of stop defending York very easily. You wave it around as an empty threat, trying to make people afraid. Where will you go from York? Stay in York and be killed, or go somewhere -else? Good luck with THAT.'' -[[User:Che|el Che]] 13:38, 5 March 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> -To clarify a few points. I have not left the Pro-York side you moron. I have left the 'Alliance' this does not change my stance on the protection of York. The Militia will always help York in it's time of need. Unlike the Derby privateers we will never forget our friends. The Clan is also Shartak wide and we will be moving on to fulfill our promises of aiding the pro-outsider cause in the other towns. Where is none of your business you little stirrer. The CM will be deploying around York for the upcoming 'York Cup' (aka Dork Cup). Until then we have things to do elsewhere following the establishment of a secure perimeter around the York peninsula. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Yorkman for it's unbiased approach to the situation and should they require more information then i will be happy to provide such. So Che, no one cares what you think, for once drop your senseless ramblings. I'm not the one who got his medals stripped and alliance revoked by the Order for being a traitor. If anyone is a threat it's a communist traitor who owes his allegiance to pirates. -[[User:Serious Sam|Captain Sam 'Serious' Stone]]<br /> <br /> ===Derbians Die! Defenders Plant Garden===<br /> Cool, Jack's flower pot got a special mention. Too bad someone chopped it down and broke Jack's heart. -[[User:elegost55|elegost55]]<br /> <br /> ===Pirate Defence Force May Reform===<br /> <br /> Keep an eye out for us. Expect a newer, bigger, shinier and sharper PDF to form some time soon. [[User:Rozen|Rozen]]</div>

To be terminated with extreme prejudice.<br /> <br /> == Agent47 no longer playing ==<br /> Agent47 is no longer playing Shartak, and he's been banned from the MG. I think it's time you removed him. Also, Tom Failur and the whole MG have been pardoned by the OoP and CP both. <br /> <br /> Yes i am aware of Agent's activity status but thank you, it's been awhile since i updated the wiki. As for the pardon for MG members, where can i read about this? [[User:Serious Sam|SeriousSam]]<br /> <br /> Well, the CP doesn't have any of us on their KoS list, and you can ask any of them. For the OoP's pardon, that's the OoP's business, they said it at the Xmas party, you'll just have to ask them. Someone did vandalise our new guildhouse however... was that you? - [[User:Erados|'''&lt;font color=&quot;green&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The Malice&lt;/font&gt;''']]&lt;sup&gt;[[Mercenary's Guild|&lt;font color=&quot;green&quot;&gt;MG&lt;/font&gt;]]&lt;/sup&gt; 20:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> -- Oh you are talking about the Holiday pardon. Yes i was aware. Sorry for the mix up. As for your new Guildhouse, i wasn't aware you had one. It wasn't me. However, scar predator from the scavengers has placed himself in the guild and tried to stir trouble; so may be him. -- [[User:Serious Sam|SeriousSam]]<br /> <br /> == hopefully a worthy foe... ==<br /> <br /> A few questions, Is this a &quot;rebirth&quot; of the pirate hunters or something new? Also do you think you have the guts to raid Shipwreck? That and will you attack pirate traders in Durham and Derby where they are protected under the Pistoleers ans Hospitalers?<br /> <br /> Greetings Captain Edwards. This no rebirth of the Pirate Hunters; while I '''was''' a member of the pirate hunters and have the utmost respect for them, this is a separate group. An alliance with them is probable. This is a new group with wider aims. It is not official yet. We are gathering and getting everything sorted before our launch. To answer your questions on our objectives: Once at sufficient strength the shipwreck will be a target, (we would like to get everyone raiding each other, rather than the one way relationship, I'm sure the pirates would like the opportunity to defend for once.) As for pirates in Durham and Derby; we will aim to combat pirates in every Colonial town. We will also be combating some outsider groups and all hostile natives. Unlike the Pirate Hunters we have wider aims and our pirate hunting will be mixed with other things and be directed rather than mostly random.<br /> I hope i will see you and JRG on the field of battle once more; this time under the standard of the 1st Colonial Militia. [[User:Serious Sam|SeriousSam]]<br /> <br /> == The Great Durham Headhunt ==<br /> Sam, will your militia be involved in the defense of Durham in december? If so, would you consider a temporary alliance so better coordinate our efforts? We can be reached via [[Special:Emailuser/Nathan Hale|e-mail]]. --[[User:Nathan Hale|Nathan Hale]] 22:09, 20 November 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Recruitment Slogans ==<br /> <br /> During my stay in York, en route to Durham for the upcoming invasion, I've taken to reading historical texts/fiction (Is shartak part of our reality?) about this war called Vietnam, one particular protest phrase that was shouted at President LBJ; 'JBJ, pull out like your daddy should have' or something. Perhaps in times of war you could use 'Native raiders should pull out like their daddys should have, let's give 'em the chop instead' - just a suggestion, got me thinking. [[User:RobZombie|RobZombie]]<br /> <br /> Ha ha. That one gave me a good laugh. I like it a lot. Say you wouldn't like to be our propaganda minister would you? I could use a man like you lol. --[[User:Serious Sam|SeriousSam]]<br /> <br /> Well, I'm flattered, but I have a clan to run, but if you ever need something...for Rob; its always 'time to get seriouis' [[User:RobZombie|RobZombie]]<br /> <br /> == A Native Scout Section? ==<br /> <br /> Any thoughts on adding a native scout section into the 1st Colonial Militia? Post them here.<br /> <br /> Perhaps it could help a move towards peace with certain native factions and a safer York. It would allow natives looking for a different slant on the Colonial Shartak to fight alongside outsiders. Of course there would be restricxtions such as past history etc. Any thoughts anyone?<br /> <br /> == A toast to the 1st Colonial Militia ==<br /> <br /> Wasn't it Serious Sam who said '''&quot;Good luck with starting a clan that gets more than one member&quot;'' to me? Yes, it was! Here is a toast for Serious Sam who trippled what I recruited, and got a smashing 3 whole members! Then again, when he said that my clan was a failure and only had 1 member, was he counting the applications I denied? I guess not. Anyway, I'm not here to bash Serious Sam for his wonderful 3-membered clan, but to congratulate him! Congratulations! -[[User:Che|Che]] 05:34, 31 December 2006 (UTC) <br /> <br /> Uh oh. I've made widdle Serious Sam mad, eh? Sam, why can't you talk to me on the Wiki? Insted you have to kill me? Come on. We're talking on the Wiki, for crying out loud. Its not my fault you're a moron, so don't attack me anymore. Any plus, I was only telling you how much I look up to you and your 3-membered clan (which only 1 might be an alt!). Whats what old phrase? '''The Pen is Mighter Than The Sword'''? -[[User:Che|Che]] 18:55, 31 December 2006 (UTC) <br /> <br /> :I believe one of the Mercs brought this up once... Pen is mighter than the sword crap. What if I have a really sharp pen that shoots blowdarts and your sword is made of styrofoam? - [[User:Erados|'''&lt;font color=&quot;green&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The Malice&lt;/font&gt;''']]&lt;sup&gt;[[Mercenary's Guild|&lt;font color=&quot;green&quot;&gt;MG&lt;/font&gt;]]&lt;/sup&gt; 03:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Awww... come on Serious Sam. Don't delete my comments. Reply to them! -[[User:Che|Che]] 23:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I think your still mad about not killing me once, Sam. I'll be sure to see you again!--Keiichi<br /> <br /> Right I'm going to address our flamers here. Keiichi, I am not sour or bitter that you killed me. You may be an annoying git but I'm not bothered. It's the game, you are KOS because you kill innocents like all scavengers. I applaud the fact that you have the audacity to take on York. Finally an enemy with some originality. Although from man to man; torsos aren't better than heads.<br /> <br /> Che. All this started because you killed me without provocation. Full stop. If you had just apologised instead of flaming me then this feud would not have started. As Zeff and Black Joe explained Tyler was KOS to the pirate hunters. You were in the wrong. As such you started this feud. However, I'm not going to carry this on. I know that behind your somewhat irritating exterior you could be a good man. Kill me if you wish but I'm fed up of this old battle. I am sorry for my part in this feud and I won't be doing anything in future. I have other things i need to do. --[[User:Serious Sam|SeriousSam]]<br /> <br /> Though I dislike being called an 'annoying git' I dont care. At least you know how to show a small portion of respect, unlike the silly Colonial Police. By the way, torso's are much more fun because harvesting em' in a crowded tavern freaks some people out. Best of wishes! -Keiichi<br /> <br /> == The [[Raktam Secruity Consultancy]] ==<br /> <br /> We have now launched our apolitical, non-membership alternative to the Mercenary's Guild.

Also, Tom Failur and the whole MG have been pardoned by the OoP and CP both. <br /> <br /> Yes i am aware of Agent's activity status but thank you, it's been awhile since i updated the wiki. As for the pardon for MG members, where can i read about this?

This no rebirth of the Pirate Hunters; while I '''was''' a member of the pirate hunters and have the utmost respect for them, this is a separate group. An alliance with them is probable. This is a new group with wider aims. It is not official yet. We are gathering and getting everything sorted before our launch. To answer your questions on our objectives: Once at sufficient strength the shipwreck will be a target, (we would like to get everyone raiding each other, rather than the one way relationship, I'm sure the pirates would like the opportunity to defend for once.) As for pirates in Durham and Derby; we will aim to combat pirates in every Colonial town. We will also be combating some outsider groups and all hostile natives. Unlike the Pirate Hunters we have wider aims and our pirate hunting will be mixed with other things and be directed rather than mostly random.<br /> I hope i will see you and JRG on the field of battle once more; this time under the standard of the 1st Colonial Militia.

Many of the highly ranked Militiamen fought in the defense of York against an alliance of Mercenaries and Pirates. After the many skirmishes were over little had changed. York was safe from cutthroats but like Derby and Durham, not safe from the high taxes and foreign government associated with being a colony. <br /> A Declaration of Independence was voiced; it was time for the Colonials of Shartak to defend themselves and stop their dependence on foreign powers such as Britain and the Dutch. The need for people to stand up and be counted and serve their new country was paramount. Thus the 1st Colonial Militia was born. Made up of those fighting men who bravely volunteered to fight for the freedom of a new nation and defend others with their own lives, the 1st is made up of people from every walk of life; from soldiers to scientists. <br /> <br /> Everyone is doing their part, are You?<br /> <br /> [[Image:Battle of LG.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Defenders of York manning the barricades.]]<br /> <br /> == Enlist Today! ==<br /> <br /> We need heroes like YOU! : Join the 1st Colonial Militia and save Shartak.
