| April 21st, 1999 |
As the sun rose this morning a plan was set afoot. An Ogre Warlord gathered troops and headed to claim victory over the Shadow Clan orcs. As the orcs slept in peaceful bliss the Ogre Warlord over took the fort with his army. The few orc guards that were there were dispatched quickly as the trolls and ogre danced with glee over their easy victory over the great Shadow Clan.Thanks!
News traveled fast as orc and warrior alike gathered and fought the waves of troll and ogre warriors. Gaining ground the orcs could see the fort once again coming under their control. The battled raged on as the orcs pushed ever closer to the fort they that held so dear.
Enraged at the lack of organization of his troops the Ogre Warlord burst through the fort walls and took it upon himself to end the orcs rule over this area of land. His Strength and magic where at first too great for the orcs as they fell under his smashing blows. Orc and warrior alike fell to the Warlords bloodlust. The orcs regrouped and struck back casting spell after spell at the Warlord some even risked their lives by facing the massive opponent head on in hand to hand combat, all this for the honor of their clan. In a massive group effort the warriors and orcs cut down the warlord, and again the orcs ruled the fort and the lands around it. Although orcs, the Shadow clan is quite organized and prepared for almost any assault. I would be wary if ye wish to attack such a great force as the Shadow Clan.

The bloodline council recommends the following changes to clan policy. Discuss them on the messageboard. The leadership council will vote on them very soon.Thanks!
Section I : Tribeless Ranks
A) All inner ranks of tribeless are abolished INCLUDING Goth and Lata'goth
B) Bluds would take responsibility for gruntees and tribeless in their line
Section II : Promotions
A) Bluds, while taking in recommendations from nobs, bluds, and others would be responsible for promoting gruntees to tribeless like it once was way back when along with nobs
B) Nobs would be able to promote a tribeless when he feels they are ready to be tribed
Section III : Proficiency tests
A) All gruntees would be required to take a proficiency test adminstered by their Blud leader at the time of their promotion
B) Tests should be standard and well known (perhaps post on the webpage under each line) For lines with many skills, make sure they are proficient in a certain amount
Section IV : Non-weapon Skills
A) Upon completion of the proficiency test and promotion to tribeless, all grunts will be allowed access to all skills except for a short list of restricted skills
B) No grunt shall be penalized for taking up skills that have not characteristically been used by their blud'line
Section V : Non-Weapon Skills Restrictions
A) Very few skills will be restricted
B) If a skill can have IC reasoing for not being restricted like healing (anyone can pick up a bandage and wrap it around someone) then it can not and will not be restricted.
C) Skills such as magery where both valid OOC and IC logic would prevent John Q Grunt from having this skill will be allowed to be restricted
D) Accepted Restricted Skills :
Special mojoka skills - Magery, Necromancy, Alchemy, Item ID, Inscription
Special asasun skills - Alchemy, Poisoning
Special drum-r (unique) - musicianship, peacemaking, provocation.
Blacksmithy (added by a one vote margin of 4 against restricting and 5 for it)
Section VI : Weapon skills
A) Any grunt can request to learn a secondary weapon skill
B) They need permission from the blud'line leader of the new weapon skill and the original blud leader must be made aware but can not stop the learning
C) Bluds can turn down requests for any set of reasons ranging from suspecting a powergamer to just plain not being in the mood to teach someone
D) Any orc that successfully learns a new weapon will not be able to attain bludrank. This will prevent them from being Warboss and should disuade most orcs from seeking a second weapon.
E) All primary blud leaders need to track members of their line that learn new weapons and make sure they don't attain blud ranked and are stripped of any already attained
Section VII : Blud'ranked Orcs (not clompranked)
A) Increasing duties will be placed on orcs who are blud ranked
B) Orcs who are blud ranked have proven themselves to RP and be able to lead.
C) Bludranked orcs should be expected to help the bluds in watching grutnees of their lines and such things
Section VIII : Changing Blud'lines
A) The only way allowable for an orc to switch bludlines is with the creation of a new character.

| March 17th, 1999 |
Ith announced the ranks of Lusk-rs and his views as the new Buld'Lusk-r. Read full storyThanks!
I am happy to see that people whined for me to update, on my ICQ list and on the messageboard. At least it shows interest in my work *grins*. Well, being alone for this site is a little too much work for one person, when I never get any report in my mail. Well.. I sometimes do, but this is rare. So I would appreciate people to send me a copy of their RTR or important posts, and also, I would welcome anyone wanting to join the Wardrums Team !Thanks!
We need a lot of orcs to show up. If enough come we're going to go to Hythloth and try and kill daemons for some new reagents. If not we may go to covetous to the corpser room (executioner's caps) or shame for fertile dirtThanks!
Hoowah Shadowclan!
The elder is going to start collecting the new reagents so when the next patch hits, mojokas and kultrs can work on necromancy and alchemy. These things are going to be beneficial for the clan and we need the clan's support to help gather reagents. When there are a bunch or orcs in the fort, lead a trip to shame. All the eart elementals spawn 1 fertile dirt on each of them. Collect as many as you can and try and find the elder or myself (or Gimar, anyone with acess to the necro hut) and we will store them. It's important we try and get a lot of these because we need to do the research for the clan to be able to know the new necromancy spells and be able to have the new potions .Thanks!
Ithgaura is the new bludluskr. Yubglubb is waluskr. May they work together for the kihagh.Thanks!
Wargod is pleased with Shadowclan. Few moons ago, the Elder witnessed great victory over humans. Wargod appeared and spoke to clan. Taking this as a sign, the Elder blessed Gorbladz as the warboss of the clan.
All honor Gorbladz, Warboss of shadowclan.
The wargod has begun to touch this land more. The time nears when the orcish horde will rage across the land again.
Some of the highlights:Thanks!
- Blue PK Changes
- Skills:
- Fishing
- Carpentry
- Tinkering
- Hiding
- Stealth
- Other Changes:
Full Info can be found on Update Center
- Buyback of building deeds
- House / Boat Optimizations
Thanks!
- K'tar is the new Goth of Tribeless
- Met'ug has been promoted Mog'ob'Goth Mak-r.
- And many other things I missed...
| March 7th, 1999 |
Yes, The Elder Uguaguc himself told to Thrakat'Duump to contact Nub'eer to have the new WarBoss be announced on this newspage ! (Just to be sure : the new Warboss is Gor'Bladz). So you if you want to be Elder one day, do like him ! Read the WarDrums daily !Thanks!
Here is the resume of the WarBosses War and how it ended ! Hoowaaaah Gor'Bladz, the Howler Warboss !Thanks!
Added to the articles pages, here is the ongoing and illustrated story of Vok da Mojokii !Thanks!
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
I am sure all orcs already know about this, so there is no need to develop much. For orcs just coming back right now after a long absence, here is the problem. The WarBoss position is currently disputed between Vladtharg of the BloodMoons, who won the WarBoss clomp of the Drinkie Fest; and Buurz'Lusk of the Throquats who won a re-clomp organised by the Elder in the fort. Elder declared Buurz'Lusk to be the new WarBoss, but the WarGod did not make his usual apparence. The best for you is to figure it ingame. Just know that the color of your speach (red or green) will identify you as following one of those two orcs. Sorry if I do not say much but I want to keep the neutrality of this news page.Thanks!
| March 4th, 1999 |
From In Development, some of which is already on TC, and Nub'eer comments !Thanks!
- Necromancy will begin to go in with an initial set of spells.
Good news for Mojokas.. Gu'clomp would have wanted to see this- Alchemy will receive an overhaul that adds new potion types.
I wonder what it is.. our mojokii mixur will have work..- Fishing will be greatly expanded to include new things to catch, and the ability to recover sunken treasure.
Zult-rs and Pirates, time to team up !- New items will go into carpentry, including beds, ballotboxes, and dartboards.
Looks good.. but less of use for us.- New items will be added to tinkering, including jewelry--and a "newbiefied" wedding ring.
Mak-rs will know how to make Feorcs happy.- Guild wars will no longer be allowed in towns.
ACK ! COME IN BRITAIN SATURDAY 6PM TO PROTEST !- Order/chaos warfare will be revamped.
We're happy for them- Additional controls will be put on the reputation system which we anticipate will catch a great deal of the "blue PKs" and make them into red murderers.
Always good to know...- Players will have the option to declare themselves to be "evil." Expect more details on this system once it is on the Test Center.
Needs more discussion and evaluation before having a real opinion..- Optimizations will go in so that you do not receive the contents of houses until you set foot in them. This should greatly improve your connection's performance around houses.
Good to see they're working on lag...- Increased measures will be going in to reduce the "blue PKs" problem.
Yes, they're repeating themselves- The Abyss shard will become permanent, with numerous enhancements.
Could be great !- It will be possible to set the client to use an 800x600 game area.
Hoowaaah (well.. for me !)- It will be possible to declare public buildings to be guard zones.
be carefull chasing Findog in his house !- Interior lockable doors will exist.
Maybe an use in the Outpost ?
First, thanks to those who showed me their support for the Wardrums. It seems I'll not give up yet. As we are nearly among friends here (well, me and my 22 daily readers.. the monthly readers can go to next post, it will tell the the results of the Drinkie fest) I am sure you'll not mind talking about myself. I was choosen as the WarBoss candidate for Thrak-Ghaash. I know that it happens to 5 orcs every month, so that's not a very big news, but they do not update the War Drums ! *laughs*.. Well, except for Ith'Gau'ra, but him, he won. Yes.. sorry to spoil you the surprise, but I lost ! Not this time you'll have a Drum-r Warboss *chuckles*. I took some screenshots of before the clomp and you can see them on the page I set up for this right hereThanks!
And here are the results of the contests of the Drinkie Fest ! Wardrums updated before the messageboard !Thanks!
- Gu rank clomp : Grugluk
- Ug rank clomp : Yak'Chug
- Wa rank clomp : GruntGlubGlub
- Warboss clomp : Vladtharg, with K'tar as guard.
| March 1st, 1999 |
Well.. looking at the date of the last update, I feel a little ashamed. I am really sorry about this, andd I have no real excuse, I was just being lazy. Anyway, nearly noone complained about this site not being updated so I am not even sure you noticed it... (and I know I'm talking to my 22 daily readers, according to the Polls). Well, seems I am alone again for the page.. so if you want to help with updates, don't hesitate to mail me, or icq me at 11337355. And if you want to mail me saying this site is great and that I should continue to update it, do it ! So I will not feel useless. Okay.. enough with ranting, or this page will become 'Nubbys Advenshuurz' instead of the War Drums. Here are the latest events I gathered...Thanks!
- Grunts wanting a mojokii slot email Gi'Mar
- Biter ceremonee today : new tribed grunts : Gug'Zug (first Bitur sneek'r , will get even more cider for them), Ug-gluug (lusk'r), Hug'rthal (womp'r), Gruk'Smut (kigg'r).
- Orcs went on trip to Hythloth. A terrible Collector of Souls did many casualties among orcs, but was finally slain.
- Thrak-Ghaash Ceremony : Nub'eer is (finally) tribed ! See Picture !. About 7 months of Grunteehood for me.. I think I'm close to a record !
- Orcs defend treasure chests from attack of VvV, KoV and other hummies
- Womp-r Bash scheduled for March 4th
- Drinkie Fest scheduled for March 3rd
- Tribeless Goth changes : G'Nunk out, Met'ug and Ar'thug in.

- New Blud'Lusk-r : Greok'Thuk.
- Clan History WILL BE updated (Yak sent me new version, I need to convert to HTML).
- Much more.. i'll continue to update once I figured all I missed.
| February 16, 1999 |
When the ShadowClan Clan Drum-r encounters the leader of GoL.....this makes the subject of a new article you can read here!. And the webpage of GoL was also added in the links at top.Thanks!
I am planning a large event welcoming all Kigg-R orks, both grunt and gruntee to come. Most likely it will be a large dungeon "crawl" just for kigg-rs. After the crawl we will hold another CLOMP RANK tournament. So, please be ready and meet at the fort around 10:30 PM EST and we will be departing promptly at 11PM EST to the dungeon Wrong.Thanks!
The new Mojoka Webpage is now located here. Links at top have been updated.Thanks! *remembers to beg for drumstiks to mojokas*
| February 13, 1999 |
Ok, the time is set for 5est. Saturday the 13th. We will meet at the fort and proceed to the meeting location. For the first meeting it will be either at the guard tower or the orc post. Future meeting will be at different locations, making the meeting an adventure all its own. We plan to head to despise after so you may want to aquire a extra K'igg to use with those nasty spitting slimes. We will be trying out the new clomp ranking system so get your dancing shows on. I will announce the new promotions that are not shown on the skyboard. And discuss what some of the changes seem to be that are coming reguarding us. Besides that we will address any questions you have.Thanks!
We will then set off to despise. I am going to try to hold this meeting every other saturday at first. We'll see how it all works out.
Think thats it :)
I hope to see many K'igg-rs there today.
HooWaH Shadowclan!
HooWaH Iggju!
Slagg'Tor K'igg-r Blud'Leed-r

Ug'RugRat da liddlest orc!
This is quoted from last night's UOHOC chat.Thanks!
GOOD NEWS FOR WOMP'RS AND ZULT-RS
Salos* When shall the improvements to parrying be made? Beside this skill and Eval Int, are any other changes to combat mechanics on the near horizon? Faceless> Parrying is already x2 more effective vs archery. I think it may need more in the future. I expect it to boost resistant vs projectile spells within the next 3 updates. (depending on room). As far as other mechanics probably not for a bit unless something is way out of balance.
GOOD NEWS FOR MOJOKAS (ESPECIALLY DEADIES)
Glamdring> *Shamino* Many News sites feature the coming of Necromancy, could we get a litle bit of specifications on this? DesignerD> We don't want to reveal too much, because we'd like players to have to research & discover necromancy... But you should expect powerful necromancers to be able to raise up armies of zombies from the bodies of their dead foes. :)
*MOW-X-* How is eval going to affect spell resist? Faceless> Here's how it will work: It will not affect the victim's chance to "resist" the spell. But it will affect the scaling of damage/effect. When you go up against a GM resistor, full damage will not happen even if they fail to resist it gets scaled somewhat by their resistance however, you can counter the scaling with high Eval Int. This works against monsters too. Chance to resist the spell is based soley on your resist score and the attacker's mager/spell circle
MORE NEWS FOR WOMP-RS
*Sten_Hunt* Will Monsters be effected by Stamina damage and AR damage from maces and combat in general? Faceless> They are affected by stamina damage. Only monsters that wear armor are effected by AR damage. Which isn't many yet *Dr_Adam[GL]* Will Mace skill ever damage weapons more? i have "killed" a bunch of sets of plate. and i would like to destory the fencers kyrss b4 it destorys me :) Faceless> In all honesty I don't think maces need any more "help" after the last update. More likey weapon disarming/disabling will be accomplished through a different skill or specialization in the future.
GREAT NEWS FOR KULT-RS!
*Tem_* Will the new changes to rogues include a backstab modifier on the first attack made while hidden and if no, why not? Faceless> Not in this rev. When we add assassination it will be a new skill.
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
OTHER STUFF:
*^Lucian* Will spells like Paralyze and Curse ever be resistable? Faceless> Paralyze will in the next update. Curse isn't but could be in the future. *Gandalf* will monster mages learn to heal? DesignerD> Maybe. :) *Sarzec* Now with the new speed by stamina, are you going to do anything about Greater Agility Potions? They have lost their use now that we have to wait for our stamina to go up to get the full affect. Faceless> Excellent point. We'll have to boost the stamina up for them. Also... just to clear up a misconception...speed of swing is based on your absolute stamina, not a percentage so a 25/25 stamina warrior is slower than a 50/100 one. Ranger_Rick* are there going to be any changes to make fighting PvP/monsters less cumbersome? having multiple health boxes and a paperdoll (to equip/unequip when you want to drink a potion, etc.) clutters up the screen and makes it more difficult to fight DesignerD> Managing health boxes & the like will be a lot easier with the party system. As far as equip/unequip, if we add equip and unequip as macros, which we have been discussing, then that would be easier. We are concerned about possible exploits with that though. He also basically says that womps won't be poisonable (it really woulnd't make much sense, would it?).
| February 7, 1999 |
There is a new article about the Serpent's Hold Expedition against GoL, with many pictures ! Go read it and see that your favorite drum-r is the thoughest orc around *chuckles*Thanks! *plays Pirate Songz again*
I added a link to the page of the Pirates Orks of da Shakh Buurz, you'll find it in the column to the right.Thanks! *plays Pirate Songz*
Yep its's time to Skat. I would thank all of the many orcs that have made my stay here enjoyable, but many have already left! har! guess I am old!! To those that read this, you know who you are. I have had the most fun as a SC orc then I have had with any game ever. Hell, even beats traditional RPG's in my opinion.. no darn dice. you have given me a lasting memory which I shall cherish. It has been great watching this "silly" idea from two bored UO players turn into the masterpiece it is today. Many of you lack the "age/history" to understand what has truly been created here... I feel for you and hope that someday you will understand how this started and where it is now.. many trials and many challenges. We rose above them all to stand tall as roleplayers in a world full of KeWlDeWdS, hell we even convereted some of them! *grin* I thank the Elders specifically for their daring and creativeness, without your crazy impulse, we would not be what we are today.Thanks! *plays farewell song*
The story of Gu'Clomp is not yet over... he Will pay for his attrocity... but that is another story... in time all will know... I shall post at least one last tory here... though I am no longer alive in the fort....
again, thanks to all of you that have made this game what it is today! Hoowah! Hoowah! "grins evilly* Now skat! git lost tupid oruks! Nub bug Gu! *mumbles*

A Thrak-Ghaash Ceremony was held Friday, and led to some change in the tribe. Blugba'Glub has been promoted to Nob and Dabbu is the new Shakh'Goth Mak-r. Congratulations also to the two new members of the tribe : Bagluk and Braki Bugurzlug. Nothing more was said about the ceremony, as the Thrak-Ghaash prefered to keep their rituals secret.Thanks! *plays da Ghaash Song*
Congratulations to all, and Hoowaah Ghaashakh !

Ka'cal has resigned as a Hedbiter nob, leaving Dubjug as the sole nob of the tribe.Thanks!
Dubjug has resigned as Blud'luskr, and Greok'Thuk has taken the position.
Sunday afternoon, no exact time, we will gather, get supplies for a fort, hop on 2 or 3 boats, sail to Serpents Hold, sail around the island taunting the humans, then go land somewhere and quickly make a fort. From our fort we will stage raids as we try to pillage and burn the town down and claim it as ours. One note: No matter what happens, try to stay at least a screen away from the bank. Any orc going into the bank is going to become a slave to the humans for a solid week (i.e. just dont go in the bank) I know there isnt a lot of exact details, but I dont want to give away exactly what we are doing and where we are going. Letting GoL know that we are comming sunday afternoon is plenty of warning. All their non-combatants can hang out at the bank in safety, while we are busy taking ofer the rest of the land. GGGThanks!
There are several general ways to handle skills in shadowclanThe post in which to respond to with your ideas is here. Thanks!
1. Open choice
2. Major bloodline skills, can learn 1 set of minor when become grunt.
3. Restricted bloodlines with skill learning option
4. Restricted bloodlines, no skill learning option (current system)
#4 for many orcs is too restrictive
#3 is imo too demanding on bloodline leaders (having to keep track of every orc's skills)
#2 I presented about a week ago, and I will repost if someone requests.
This post presents briefly how choice #1 might work.
The principle is this, bloodlines will still exist, though in order to ensure that there is diversity in skills amoung the clan, orcs in a bloodline have to prove through roleplayed challenges that they are proficient in the areas of the bloodline (proficiency tests). General Orc skills:
Anatomy, Animal Lore, Animal Taming, Archery, Arms Lore, Blacksmith, Bowcraft, Camping, Carpentry, Cartography, Cooking, Detect Hidden, Enticement, Fencing, Fishing, Forensics, Healing, Hiding, Lockpicking, Lumberjacking, Maces, Mining, Musicianship, Parry, Peacemaking, Provokation, Poisoning, Resist, Snooping, Stealing, Swordsmanship, Tactics, Tailoring, Taste ID, Tinkering, Tracking, Vetrinary, Wrestling Restricted to Mojoka only -
Magery, Meditation, Eval Int, Inscription, Spirit Speak
Restricted to MakR and Mojoka - Item ID.
Restricted to KultR and Mojoka -Alchemy Advantages - simple to enforce. More flexibility.
Basically the rules we had 1 year ago.
Bloodlines would inherently be switchable in this system, as would the possibility of being completely kicked out of a bloodline.
I think this works well with urucku, since urucku bloodranks reward RP rather than clomping ability there will be incentive for many to stick to their bloodline's style and skills and the urucku itself.

Ug'ChugRat (Howler) and Jir'ye (Throquat) have resigned from their nob positions. Ug'ChugRat because he feels the clan is too top-heavy with leadership, and to pursue other options as an orc. Jir'ye, because she feels she is not active enough to make informed decisions.Thanks!

9PM EST TONITE, orcs meet at orc fort. humans meet at guard tower near fort.Thanks!
Here is the plan. This is a test run of what may someday become a daily event. Orcs try defend own fort, and take over humie guard tower. Humans try defend their guard tower, and take over orc fort.
Battle begins at 9:30PM EST, and lasts one hour. If one group takes over the opposing fort, they get a treasure for doing so. Death rules are- if you die attacking the opposing fort, you can no longer attack the opposing fort for the remainder of the battle. If you die while defending or die while attacking, you can return and continue to defend. These rules are designed to give the defenders a very significant advantage, since their numbers are constantly replenished. No death robe killing, no fighting while in death robes. The punishment for breaking these rules verified by leaders is a decrease in the treasure. Okay - remember this is a test run. The goal is to give the PvP hungry RPers a fun outlet for an hour, and someday hopefully, an hour each day. If you aren't interested in fighting please we wary of the battle area for that hour.
Just my suggestion - If the orc fort falls, orcs should use the orcpost as a regrouping point.
On sunday (7th Feb) 3 pm EST all womp'rs that want gather at the fort for a pilgrimage to the Ogba shrine. There we will get in touch with the savage nature in ourselves and hold a fest in honor of the wargod. The purpose of the trip is to "bond" the womp'rs together more and discover the true essence of Ogba within ourselves by focusing on the savage within.Thanks!
HooWah Womp'Rs! HooWah Ogba!
G'Haarg da drunkun Hedbiter womp'r *time of the trip might come to change*
Welp, it appears I've had my time cut drastically short. I won't be able to perform my usual Blud'leed-R duties *frowns*. It was an honor being Blud'leed-R and alot of fun! I leave the K'igg-Rs in Slaggtors very capable hands. His unique roleplaying style should be a good influence *grins*. I'll still keep E'thuk around but for now I don't have the time. So although I'm not really going away for good. I prolly won't be seen very often. So I'd just like to thank everyone I've met as my time as E'thuk and Blud'leed-R.Thanks!
This letter goes on to include indivdual thanks to many orcs to see the rest of this letter click here.
Gug'ye E'thuk and a big THANK YOU for all your hard work and dedication to the Clan.
Hoowah Slaggtor the new Blud'K'igg-R!
Tribeless:Thanks!
Hooooooowahh Trel'Urg!
*Translated from orc*
Trel'Urg is my new Assistant. Tribeless, treat his words like my words and listen to what he says -- Trel'Urg is one really tough orc. Keep sending those stories and gruntee reports into me and now Trel too! Hoooowah!
G'Nunk
Throquat:
Throquats get on the Howling Skulls guildstone. Kar'grula can put you on it. You have all been kicked off the Throquat guildstone which will remain unused until a need for it develops. This is part of the effort to reduce the number of shadowclan guildstones to a reasonable level. More time for nobs to play. Hoowah!

I've been getting tons of requests for a sneek-r so I've decided to allow anybody interested a chance this time. There are TWO sneek-r slots open this time, anybody interested must write a story and send it to me, just like the mojokii openings. there will be a pannel of judges and everyone gets a fair chance.Thanks!
Send in those stories, I wont take any new stories after friday night. please send all stories through E-mail at: camlaforest@hotmail.com
Find info on the new colored ore at StraticsThanks!
The summary is:
50% of mining spots will have the possibility of colored ore being found.
These spots don't change. So if you find copper in one spot, it will always be a copper spot.
The easiest and most common colored ore to dig up is dull copper, and it requires 65 mining skill.
1 out of 9 mining spots will have dull copper.
If you don't have the required skill at a colored ore mining spot, all you get is iron ore.
What this all means is that most likely there are many different colored ores in the mountains and caves and dungeon right near our own orc fort.
Lets find them! Make some ringmail suits. Then we will see which are good enough for Shadowclan and which are for pushdugs. Hoowah!
Note : No decision has been taken yet as for who is allowed to wear which armor.
Well, being a little disappointed by the results of the polls I was no in mood of making updates to the page, but I changed my mind, and I'll go on to inform you, my 11 daily readers *smiles*, and my 13 other occasional readers. As always, stories, essays, and news reports are welcome in my mailbox, and you can contact me on ICQ too for anything (11337355).Thanks!
The Gruntee Grubber Clomp was won by Ragosh'Guttuk and has earned the title of Tala'Grubber until he is either promoted to grunt or the next drinkie fest. The event was disrupted by an overzealous orc who thought it would be funny to blow up all the gruntees and in the future Blugba'glub asks that you please refrain from disrupting these events. Despite the disruption it was still a very exciting finish.Thanks!
The winner of the Chaos Clomp was was Cha'kugg of the Throquat Uzg Tribe. Honorable mentions also go out to Ghaargh, Ug'grub, and the gruntee Og'bog. I accidentally walked into the Chaos Clomp area in the middle of the clomp (and almost got clomped *grins*) and have to agree with Blugba'glub when he says "It was one heck of a clomp to watch.". Looking forward to the next one.
Of course a special thanks to all the orcs who helped to organize and run this event and make the evening as successful as it was.
Hoowah Drinkie Fest! Hoowah ShadowClan!
| February 2, 1999 |
Hoowah to Gorbladz and the Howlers, winners of the Warboss clomp! No word from Gor yet on his plans.Thanks!
In other news, Dubjug is the newest Hedbiter nob. No word on whether or not he'll be resigning as blud'luskr.

Note from Oog: The Drinkie Fest is Tonite!Thanks!
Below is a list of events for the drinkie fest, the first will be at 8:30 eastern tomorrow, Monday the first.
8:30 At this time all the gruntees in the fort will be gathered up and will compete in the the infamous Gruntee Grubber Clomp. This event is a lot of fun to bet on your favorite gruntee. The gruntees are lined up in pairs, and grubber clomp in helm and boots. The winner of this is dubbed the TalaGrubber of the clan, either until they are grunted, or until the next cycle when it is held again. Kuz'grak the goth of the tribeless will be refereeing this event.
9:00 Chaos Clomp: Everyone present in the fort will be gated to the location of the drinkie fest. Anyone who wishes to participate in the Chaos clomp will follow me to a seperate area where I will go over the rules of the clomp. The rules are as follows; Do not clomp the referee, Everybloodline is allowed in and everything is allowed, poison, mojo, healing, potions all of it. When I see five orcs left alive on screen, I will shout unhidy, at this point all hidden orcs need to come out and fight, if you stay hidden past this point you will be disqualified, no more hiding will be allowed after that. If you die, do not come back for your things, if you want to stay and watch do it as a ghost.
May the best orc win!
10:00 Warboss Clomp.
10:30 Warboss Trip.
If you have ideas or suggestions for the next drinkie fest let me know.
Hoowah Ghaashak da Ruler ob all!!

BuurzGoth not only disobeyed the looting rules, but he also killed a nob, Me !. This is unacceptable and he should be 'Klomped on Site' by all orcs who follow the chain of command until he gives the gold back and publicly blows himself up with explosion potions. If we start allowing Nobs to be killed by pathetic little grunts, then what will be next ? Let the warboss be killed by Gruntees ? Klomp him until he does the things I said.Thanks! *doesn't even think about annoying Ka'Cal*
I have checked the links at top and have corrected many links. If you still see broken links, please let me know. You can also send me URL of pages you think I should link.Thanks!
On another subject, I am still looking for orcs to help me with this page. Gul'Grak is now busy with higher responsabilities and Ith'gau'ra is not available either, so I am alone again ! I need someone who can make the updates during the weekends, and if anyone want to take care of a section of this page, feel free !. If some CGI guru have any help to offer, you're welcome too.
I am currently arranging a very, very large battle to take place this weekend. Most likely Saturday night. All previous CRPC guilds such as; The Undead, The Celts, The Picts, Kinship, UDL (if they behave) and many others whom we are at war at. At this time the battle is to take place around 10:30 PM EST on Saturday Evening. I will be posting this same message on several different message boards to attract participation by other guilds. This event will either be held in Necropolis or the Orc Out-Post. Please carry as little as possible as we don't know what kind of guests will be paying us a visit. The plan will be for the Orcs and the Undead to ally and fight off the intruders, or vice-versa. Please post any comments, concerns and ideas on the messageboard.Thanks!
Looting rules refresher:Thanks!
Only take orcish things. Don't touch rejins unless you are mojoka. Only destroy human items if the attackers are Abusive or Harrassing. Don't expect our attacker to emote or talk. They want to kill us and most often use ambushes. If they talk they give us an opportunity to prepare and even the odds.
Abusive:Uses profane language or exihibits racist or sexist behavior.
Harassing Saying that you suck and got killed is not harassing. If they continue then yes, that is a different story.
Looting us of our things is not harassing, I only want bloodmoon to loot orkish items when that happens. Reporting an ork for murder is not harassment. We take a risk when we attack blues. Yug will not eject red orks from the fort because of this.
If they loot you, so be it. You can loot back orkish things but that is it.
Our aim is to encourage those humans that are not abusive to attack and discourage those that are abusive. Yes, a roleplayed enemy is much more enjoyable to attack against but we need to weigh that against quantity as well. Bloodmoon orks like to have blood spilled. Thats what we will do.
Lastly, from now on Bloodmoon will not concern ourselves with what other tribes do. We will disapprove, instigate fights, embarass and harass those we disagree with but will NOTt wage war or attempt to make clan wide decisions.
Lastly, as a religious tribe, we fully believe in the power and might of the war god. Nobs and mojokas have a special connection with him whether the particular Nob knows it or not. The Bloodmoon tribe will not instigate attacks on Nobs. We will defend ourselves or insult a Nob hoping for him to attack if we strongly disagree with what he is saying.
I believe in the ability of our grunts to apply looting rules and these ideas correctly. I know you understand what is harrassing and abuse. We only want those attackers discouraged from attacking.
Any current orks that have strong reservations should think about a new tribe or talking to me.

The trip planned by Yug left the Fort with a party of about ten orcs: Bloodmoon Orcs and gruntees, including the WarBoss and the Clan Drum-r. We went to the Brigand Fort to find hummies to convert to the WarGod, and turn them into slaves. Those humans did not agreed at first to worship Shakh'Buurz, so we had to send some of them meet him directly. After some forced conversions, we received word that the UDL were attacking the Fort. We headed back quickly there, and Yug ordered a subtle sneak attack, by walking very close to the mountain, and attacking the UDL from behind. With only a hand of gruntees and grunt, and under my constant drumming, Yug charged their leader, Terror, and was victorious ! After the death of their leader, the UDL resisted a little but then fled before the power of the ShadowClan. Hoowaaah ShadowClan !Thanks! *plays Victory Song*
The body of Kuz'Grak has been found with a note saying "Stay way from Blugba". Someone wearing a black robe was seen leaving the tent where the body was laying... maybe an human.. maybe not. Some orcs are suspecting Ka'Cal of being the writer of the note, as it is now well known that Ka'Cal and Kuz'Grak are competing for the heart of the lovely Blugba'Glub. The Hedbiter Nob seems to have more powerfull allies than the Goth. Will it be enough ?Thanks! - *plays rumantik songs for Blugba*
The Drinkie Fest will be held on Monday Feb 1st. The WarBoss clomp will take place at 10:00pm EST. Events prior to the Clomp have not been decided yet. For a suggestion of event, Contact Kar'Grula through ICQ.Thanks! - *plays drinkie songs*
Buurz'Goth resigned from his position as Blud'leader of the Ligz-r bludine. He recommends Ug'Thag'Rat as new Blud'Ligz-r, who will enter in function after approval by the Leadership Concil.Thanks!

On Thursday night at 6:00 EST the two goths will take all the tribeless/gruntees/nobs anybody interested in the new tribeless system to the guard tower to explain exactly how it works. I expect almost all tribeless to be there, please do your best to make it.Thanks!
Thanks!This rank is no longer gained stictly through quests like the previous proposal. This rank is now gained through preforming the daily duties of a tribeless; mainly testing gruntees and trainng grunts. Lata'goth: older tribeless that has been a gund for at least two weeks and has chossen to remain tribeless for whatever reasons (no tribe fits the orc, trying to make a new tribe) an example of this would be Girdaz. There is also one additionnal rank that really has nothing to do with anybody exept the goths and tribeless, its the Asistunt rank. its for selected tribeless who have chossen to remain tribeless after being Gund, hand picked by the goth to assist them with the goth duties. they possess no accual power so they cannot promote/demote. Each goth can have any number of asistunts. An example of this would be G'Nunk that is currently my asistunt, his title reads: "KuzGrak'z Asistunt". These would be very rare orcs and would be highly considered for the full Goth position.
- Glob: new tribeless that has completed at least one of his/her three quests. Is in the opinion of the goths NOT ready for a tribe. can not be tribed.
- Gund: Has, in the opinion of the goths, reached the minimum requirements in knowledge and experience to join a tribe. can be tribed.
a few additionnal peices of information about the new system:
- Nobs can promote gruntees to grunts but cannot tribe a Glob ranked tribeless. The reason behind this is that the goths simply know the tribeless orcs better, the tribing of a glob CAN happen if it is reviewed by the goth and nob requesting it on an orc by orc basis.
- Nob cannot turn a Glob into a Gund. The reason behind this is that the Goth does Not think the tribeless is ready to be tribed. I would hope nobs would respect his opinion. if there is any special case, Goths are flexible if explained the situation.
- All tribeless must be Gund before being able to be tribed. The reason behind this is that no tribeless with the rank of Glob is considered ready by the goths.
- It will now be up to the tribeless to prove himself worthy of the rank of Gund. There is no time limit (maximum or minimum) on how long an orc will remain at a certain rank. The tribeless that wishes to become a Gund and be tribed Must do what tribeless orcs should and train gruntees/test new gruntees/organise trips etc... There is now a new message board that can be accessed from the tribeless resource website that will be used by tribeless to mark down whenever they did something. Goths will NOT promote tribeless that do not do their share of the work. This new system allows the tribeless himself to determine how long he will remain at any given rank, therefor streamlining the entire prosess.
- There will also be alot "leader" tribelesses to oversee the tribeless. G'Nunk and I are both very active and will each have asistunts to help us. we are also going to look into one or two more goths who would also each have asistunts. This will spread the goth work out and make sure nobody gets burnt out.

The Howling Skulls tribe went on a trip to the snow covered lands, where the white howlers live. During the trip, the WarGod took control of Gi'mar body, and changed it into an howler for a little time. After this sign from the WarGod, Gi'Mar was made a member of the Howling Skulls. Ug'Chug'Rat then told the story of Yyrgkh Krakool to the howlers who didn't knew it. Later, at the fort, after repelling an attack from hummies, Kar'Grula made a sash for GruntGlubGlub from the banner the Howlers used in the Yew Battles, making him not only a voice of the tribe, but also the orc who would lead the howlers on the battlefield. Hoowaaah Gi'Mar and GGG !Thanks! - *plays old howler songs*

Tonight, after a fierce battle in the Dungeon of Shame, a party of orcs, including Ka'Cal, Zav'tog and Grishnak discovered a map on one of the bodies. Not knowing what to do with this, they showed it to Nub'hosh, who, after spending a few hours on it, was finally able to decode it. It was a treasure map ! The treasure seemed to be hidden on islands. A party of orcs gathered, and proceeded to reach the island. After what seemed to be days, and the fact Grishnak 'felt' from the boat, the treasure hunter arrived on the Island, and, after facing gargoyles and gazers, found a buried chest, which, after a little resistance, finally opened under Nub'hosh fingers. The chest was full of gold, gems, magical jewelry, armor and weapons ! With the help of the mojokas present, the hunters left the Island to return to the fort with their treasure.Thanks! - Hoowaaah ShadowClan ! Hoowaah Treezur Hunterz !
Hello there ! I am finally back, and I'll go back to my job of informing you on what happens in the Clan. A big thank again to Gul'grak and Ith'gau'ra for the job they did during my absence.Thanks!

The lusk'r fest was a big success! About 8 or 10 lusk'rs went to the Kihagh shrine and had some good old fashioned lusk'r clomping, animal sacrifices, and especially drinking. At the end, four orcs received Gu ranks. The orcs are: Yub'glubb, Guk'nor, Kuz'grak and Ith'gau'ra.Thanks!

Mak-rs are usually near the hammerbanger hut. It's just closer to a large amount of ore to harvest. There are also several vendors in the hammerbanger hut. They all sell orcish items. Exceptional weapons/armor and regular weapons/armor can be found. Gruntee items will be sold at a very very cheap price so those poor gruntee's can reequip fast. Boots and arrows are sold there too as well as food, sewing kits etc. You name it, we'll try and put it on a vendor there.Thanks!
Ug! Tommorow at 7:45 CST (8:45 EST and 6:45 PST) there will be a luskr festival. All luskrs are encouraged to attend. That means all gruntee, grunt and bloodranked luskrs are expected to be there! At the festival there will be new bloodranks announced, clomp matches, feasting and a pilgrimige to the Kihagh shrine. This festival is an excellant oppurtunity for all aspiring blood ranked luskrs to show me their dedication to the Kihagh so don't miss it! Woohah luskrs!Thanks!

Just a note, I added the past 3 warbosses to the Shadowclan history page.
Be aware that several of us have been watching these 3 creeps macroing at the west gate of Trinsic since last Friday. I find this to be deplorable. We have reason to suspect certain people, and if we are ever able to verify, we will do what we can to have them banned. For now, feel free to slaughter any unguilded Rutger Dags you see! AT THE YEW MOONGATE You see: BozAs I understand it, the only fakes there are right now are Rutger Dag, Boz, and T'berog. T'berog is out of town for a few more days, and he's still on the Throquat stone, so don't listen to any blue T'berog's running around the fort. The fake T'berog also has a goatee. Thanks!
Boz: sssssup thou
Boz: have lockdownssss do you?
Rutger Dag: Hm?
Boz: need lockdownssss i do
Rutger Dag: I understand thee not
Boz: Ssstupid son of a bitch you are
Boz: Ffffuck you I wwwill
You see: T'berog
Boz: Assssshole
Rutger Dag: Cease this or I shall call someone to take care of thee
Boz: *crackle pop snap* AT THIS, I LEFT. I MET UP WITH MY OWN DOPPLEGANGER AT TRINSIC
You see: Rutger Dag
1Rutger Dag: What is the meaning of this?
2Rutger Dag: Hmm?

Two nights ago after the order human attack and the subsequent shardie spawn many orks, like myself were very mad. Not because no one would listen to my WAR plan (which would have achieved absolute victory). The problem was how everyone had their own agenda, they did what they wanted and ran around like fools summarily being killed and looted. After a short break I decided to do something. For the first time that night when I yelled "Uruks line up!", they listened! With what seemed like 20 orks I began my little speach. Mostly of how we let down Shakh-Burrz and let the humans walk all over us. I ordered all to bow down and bless the name of Shakh-Burrz and pray for forgiveness. Bloodlust set in and even myself was a little pumped! Then like an angel descending from heaven, Smug came down from the grunt hut (*grins*). I asked him if he would open a gate to a human town, any town. He obliged and a batalion of bloodlusted orks marched boldy into down-town Britain. We proceeded to raise holy hell by spreading the word of Shakh-Burrz and the Shadow Clan, pillaging, laying waste and burning everything! The group was at an epitome of Shadow Clan pride and religious zeal. We marched through-out the city, burning and praising His name. He was very proud of us and we all knew it! Infact I saw several non-religious type orks bellowing "Hoowah Shakh ub Burzum!" for the first time! After burning the human mage shop Smug suggested we pay a visit to Wintersmell (I had wanted to go earlier for the fights but didnt make it) I eagerly agreed. We lost a couple orks during our invasion (due to lag or them wandering off). With a still large, bloodlusted group of orks we arrived south of Wintersmell and charged for the tower. We met relatively high resistance of about 5-6 Wintersmell guards & citizens. However, Shakh-Burrz blessed us and we defeated them in a matter of moments. (I would personally like to thank the people of Wintersmell for roleplaying very well. They were blue to all of us orks and not a single one reported any of the 10-15 orks). After dying everything red in all of Wintersmell we returned to the fort exhausted and victorious. I asked Smug later if he thought it was fun, his response: "Are you kidding? It was classic!" That was nicest thing he has ever said to me! (*grins*) Putting that aside, the night was one to remember and to learn from. The kewldood attack left many without their things and striped of their pride and it seemed the shardie attack was the final slap in the face. But we pulled together as a team, a clan and what did we do? We showed the shara what was up! The power of the Shadow Clan is without pier as long as we fight as a team, as one! Hoowah Shadow Clan!Thanks!
--------- IMPORTANT STUFF! -------------
I think we all want to do this again and thats what we're going to do! The plan is to MEET AT THE FORT, this FRIDAY, (JANUARY 8TH) around 10:30 PM EST. Please make sure you have lots of kindling and JUNK (body parts, empty bottles, misc clothing, you name it!). 20+ kindling is recommended. After a short religious service performed by the Mahks we will depart and head to the city of Vesper (bank area) and spread the word and burn it all down and kill any resistance that dare challenge us! Then we shall announce our intention of marching (well, either a mojoka will gate us or we can take the moongates) to the city of Britain and storm Lord British's Castle! Then proceed to page the GMs declaring out victory, see what happens and decide what to do after that, perhaps going to dungeon Wrong for some clomping. The trip will definetly be fun for all and remind the Shara of our presence and perhaps get some good attention and of course show we are still the biggest and best guild in Ultima Online!
On another note, it would be nice to have at least 2-3 orks of each tribe come along. I would also to have at least 1 of each bloodline attending so we can have another Kodak moment at LB's castle!
Support your clan and meet at the fort at 10:30 PM EST on Friday (Jan 8th). Thanks for reading!
I've deleted 70% of all gruntees this is about 100 gruntees so if you were on the stone and are still active find me gi'mar and get back on the stone. and as for war status. it's still a pain in the ass and i'm trying to do it in installments so it'll take me a while. give me a chance and don't come up to me and say why aren't we at war with so and so cuz i might get annoyed and ask my trusty bunny to hurt you. He's a bad ass at time and has a short fuse so watch out. *grin*Thanks!
*wanders off into the forest*
*wonders when he's gonna become mojaka*
Okay, finally got control of the Tribeless stone today (thanks all you QRC grunts out there who helped speed it along).Thanks!
I'm going to try and focus on fixing war status tomorrow whenever I get the time, but I'll also be going through the Grunt'd orcs that have been sitting around as Gruntees by title still, and possibly doing some Grunt'ings that people have been talking about for a while. Also, I'd like it (but it's certainly not required) if all the orcs that were Grunted as tribeless to a different stone while the Goths with power were away, could come up and switch stones over to the Tribeless stone.
This will make not only Rank raisings but also general Tribeless actions and arbitration much easier in the near future for whoever will be taking over.
Don't resign from the stone you're on just yet, but when you see Kub'r in game, and you want to switch over, just grab me and we'll go do it in one quick step.
Thanks in advance, and I'll see you folks IG tomorrow as soon as I can make some time.
Thanks!
- using ooc insults IC. Now this one is a bit fuzzy since we all have different ideas on what is and isnt cussing or ooc. Basically if I can turn on my oscinity filter and not here what your saying your probably shouldnt be saying it. Words such as "sucks" should also not be used.
- killing somone without warning on purpouse(even I accedentally kill people). If your going to kill somone make it DAMN clear they know WHY you killed them. And dont make somone kill you just because your stubern, if there attacking you because your *kick*ing them than stop kicking them and start cringing!
- not guarding the corpse of a person. If somone dies bag there stuff and hold it, ESPECIALLY if there grey. Now obviously there are times when this is imposible but when some gruntee gets killed clompgaming help the poor guy out!
- overly brutal punishments. Tribless that kill gruntees for stupid stuff(such as fun) can expect me to demote them on the spot. Tribed grunts can expect me to at the very least kill them.
- insulting through emotes. Now I use emotes alot but you will never ever hear me emote somthing like *thinks the warboss is an idiot* or anything even close to that. If Im not emoting a facial feture(or like minded thing) than Im probably emoting somthing goofy, its the same with all of you. Ka'Cal had 3 magical severed heads on his belt if this dousnt stop you can bet there going to start allowing him to read peoples minds, and he will kill you. The only reason I can see to make such an emote is to insult the player not the character, and to me thats unacceptable.
- blatent dissrespect and badmouthing the warboss. Now Ill admit that I poke fun at them(just today Ka'Cal bumped into Vlad and that yelled at Vlad for being in his way) but standing in the fort ALL DAY and cursing about will-get-you-killed. If your a HedBiter I hope you read that last part, keep your oppinions to yourself and likeminded orcs. If I here about the warboss seeing you just talk about somthing like this in the fort like its no big deal than you will get to enjoy a long a fruitfull carreer as his slave for the next month. This goes to anyone I have influence over, you dissrespect the warboss than your dissrespecting the clan and Ka'Cal wont stand there and let you spit on the clans name.
- exploding chests. BE RESPONSIBLE WITH THEM.
- looting a corpse before somone of higher rank. I dont care who your character is, of he loots before somone of higher rank he should expect to get the crud beat out of him and to loose EVERYTHING he has that that higher ranking orcs finds interesting or appealing.
- getting mad ooc and having it effect your character and taking IC insults ooc. If your in a bad mood and its going to effect your character drasticly than just log in as a different character. And just because someone dislikes your character or kills your character DOUSE NOT mean they are personally out to get you the player.
Any questions or arguments about this than you can icq me at #2866070. I have no intentions of filling this board up with a huge argument so if you think your post would to it just send your comments to me.

Ug all uruk brethren. It is an honor to be your Warboss. Putting the fight aside at long last, I now concentrate on how my reign as Warboss will be different then the rest. The first and foremost thing that will happen is the grandest ork inquisition in this clan's history. Flanked by my loyal brothers of the Blood Moon tribe, as with the slightly misguided Thrak-Ghaash I shall bring forth a new congregation of orkish faith. Those that don't instantly fall to their knees and pray deliverance from eternal damnation and thank Shakh-Burrz will be slaughtered. Those that do not cherish Him or bless His name will also be summarily executed. My fellow brethren in the Namahks will be on watch for those who are not loyal to our spectral master! Besides bringing an era of orkish supremacy we will also bring the battle to the cities, towns and villages of the shara. This means marching boldly into the towns of the wretched shara and purging those who dare raise their hand against our destiny! This is our uzg and I will lead us to our finest hour, Shakh Burrz as my witness those that oppose me I shall strike down unmercifully in His name! Many have forgotten our purpose (the In-Character purpose, not the "fun" OOC one). That purpose is written on our message board, and our web site. It is time we do something! And if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem and will be delt swiftly with. We will fight back and we will win if we forget our petty inter-tribe problems and blood fueds and concentrate on the TRUE enemy the shara.Thanks!
Also be prepared for much interaction with the already established RP guilds. Plans are in the making for the biggest inter-RP guild war in the history of Catskills. It will be one to remember. If you have an idea you would like to run by me and the leaders of the guilds participating please ICQ me at 21759583. Also, we will be holding another trip to the Lost Lands like we did a few months back (that is allowing anyone to make an ork and go have some fun). I am also very interested in increasing Shadow Clan membership. This includes massive recruitment adds and so forth. Anyway, that is it. Thanks for reading. Questions, comments, death wishes, you name it, feel free to post!

A change has happened within the clan leadership and I think everyone should be aware of it...so here goes nothing!a later post by Elder Nob Uguaguc:
A Clan Leadership Council is now being created which will consist of one representative from every tribe (One of the Nobs), a gruntee representative (probably the gruntee captain), a tribless representative (probable a Goth) and the Elder Nobs. This council will make all clan decisions and rule changes. It is the responsibility of each of these members to properly represent their tribes as best as they can. I am unaware of who all the members are at this point but it really is not that important. The nobs who are not part of this council will need to work closely with the one nob that is on the coucil to help in making decisions that are best for the tribe and the clan as a whole.
In the past all the nobs, elders, bludleaders and even some old clan leaders would post messages on a private messageboard and make decisions for the clan. One of the issues that was starting to happen was that it seemed that nothing was getting accomplished by the leaders because of the large numbers. The Elder has stepped in and created this Leadership Council to help fix this.
I just wanted all of you to be aware of the change so that we all may judge what affect it has on the clan.
Thanks!
The Shadowclan Leadership council consist of the two Elder nobs, one active nob from each tribe, a tribeless representative, and a gruntee representative.
Each tribe must pick a representative. Representatives need to contact me by email. uguaguc@hotmail.com
