	• LoGD Message of the Day (MoTD)


	Let the Royal Bug Hunt Begin! King Rex – 2008-04-23 11:36:18 We have just upgraded to the latest release of LOtGD. Be sure and petition the staff with any errors or unusual activity. Thanks! your humble monarch King Rex Questionable Clan Queen Venus – 2008-03-27 22:23:23 It has come to Our Royal Attention that a new clan has petitioned for establishment in our peaceful realm. Although we have some misgivings (the name sounds seditious) we are willing to tolerate its establishment. For now. The Tournament Begins Anew! King Rex – 2007-09-11 10:56:42 Okay, by demand the tournament has been reset, so try your skill & luck and let's see who comes out on top this time! We're back! Queen Venus – 2007-06-06 08:42:41 Our Brother King Rex and Our Royal Self had to go home (to the real Louisiana) to handle some (real life) family matters, and left the ruling of the realm to Our Dear Niece the Princess Misty. We have returned, and regret any inconvenience this may have caused. We hope the advent of Summer brings with it time for us all to enjoy ourselves more in the realm. Regally Yours Queen Venus Your Info Display Queen Venus – 2007-04-28 08:27:26 As you know, we've suffered from a lag in page loads for a few weeks now. I disabled various modules trying to speed things up. I just re-activated the smodule which gives you control (through preference) of what is displayed in your Info bar. Sorry for this inconvenience. I think it is innocent of any wrong-doing. Welcome Princess Misty! King Rex – 2007-04-24 21:49:58 Some of you may have noticed the recent absence of my dear sister, Queen Venus. We had received some unfortunate news from family in a distant realm who have been experiencing ongoing difficulties involving our niece, Misty. We empathize with our relatives and wish to relieve their burden. Furthermore, it is difficult for us to believe that our niece is truly the source of so many of their woes. Misty is indeed a precocious little scamp, but in an endearing manner. It is simply unthinkable that any one young lady could possibly be responsible for the release of the livestock at the market, the presence of lard on the steps at the aged warriors center, the itching powder contaminating the royal laundry, the rash of admittedly coincidental privy fires, the gunpowder infused lamp oil, the mysterious disappearance of the hour hand from the town clock, and the series of forged "wanted" notices bearing likenesses of the royal family and with the legend: "For Crimes Against Nature & Public Indecency. Sought Dead or Alive.", all in a single week end. Inasmuch that our family certainly deserved some assistance, and as our niece certainly deserved a home life free of pre-judgement, my sister has gone to retrieve Misty and bring her here to continue her tutelage in a more supportive environment. She will be taking the place of the current royal assistant, dear old Bingle, who seems to have suffered a series of bizarre and serious mishaps which have placed him on extended leave. Queen Venus and Princess Misty will be returning directly. Please extend to Misty every courtesy and respect as you would the Queen and myself. Poll: Do you want it? Queen Venus – 2007-03-30 21:48:00 Should we ask the Weaponsellers to move on? Warnick, Wepnick, Wagnick, and Borenick ---seems like we can do without their slings and arrows. WHat do you say? Are you nuts??? I love those guys! (3 - 15.8%) I don't use them but I like having them around. (1 - 5.3%) I care so little that I can barely choose an answer. (2 - 10.5%) Ditch them! Bring on some new shoppes. (13 - 68.4%) Amleine has returned Queen Venus – 2007-03-11 00:42:45 As you higher DK players know, Amleine suffered a mild nervous collapse and had to spend a little time "away" in a nice quiet facility on the shore. I am happy to report that she is restored to her usual musical self and has reopened her shoppe in Cheesemongtopia. This is good timing, since musicians will need to be trained for the Cathedral being constructed in Crescent City. Bishop Maurice will bless the new church next weekend and services will begin soon afterwards. Hint: The Good Bishop is authorized to perform marriages. badnav Queen Venus – 2007-02-22 19:36:08 Some of you got stuck in a forest special called Dragon Queen. Bummer! It was a new forest special. I have deactivated it. Sorry for your trouble. Celebrate Queen Venus – 2007-02-20 08:08:40 Happy Mardi Gras! Our Dear Mr. Bingle Queen Venus – 2007-02-17 09:36:46 Citizens, it would appear my faithful assistant Mr. Bingle has returned. It seems he went on vacation to some beach resort and neglected to inform Us in advance of his plans. He no doubt has been overworked and due to the stress of his responsibilities has responded to some of your petitions in a less than courteous manner. Please forgive him--I am sure he will be back to his cheerful old self in no time. In the meantime, he is back on the job, for which I am sure the entire Kingdom is grateful. Upgrade Queen Venus – 2007-01-23 08:48:03 Dear Citizens, please petition myself or King Rex or both of us should you encounter any odd behavior on the site. (Odd behavior of the players is another matter, you just have to deal with that on your own!) During this upgrading process, problems are inevitable, and we need your help to locate and address them. Thank you. Epiphany Queen Venus – 2007-01-06 16:53:52 Today is the feast of the Three Kings, and the official beginning of Mardi Gras season! All across the realm, the christmas trees are taken down today, and collected to dump off the coast of Grand Isle to help preserve our shoreline. Our dear Mr. Bingle is relieved of the burden of selling trees as of today, and this will free him to be more involved in other projects. A big Thank You to Mr. Bingle for all his hard work! During Mardi Gras season, we encourage festivities of all kinds. Perhaps the King will make some new beverages available at Great Kegs in New Iberia! We can only hope! Regally yours Queen Venus Royal Homecoming King Rex – 2006-12-11 00:56:07 So, the Queen and I thought perhaps we could enjoy a bit of a family vacation without any trouble brewing in our absence. How wrong we were. We return home to find an emaciated Bingle trapped under a mass of waste, the Queens castle is an unsightly mess, and our trusted servant Zoot leading a most revolting revolt. Well, I suppose that all things considered, the only person who really committed a transgression was Zoot. I will leave her punishment to the Queen. As for the rest of you, you have all been very naughty, but are forgiven. Had I been in any of your places, I probably would have done no differently. Although we are changing the locks in Castle Anthrax immediately. And next time there's a party in our kingdom, it WOULD be nice to at least be invited! King Rex Lookie. they're away for a few days! Scullery Maid Zoot – 2006-11-27 16:15:51 Hey everybody! Great news! The King and Queen are away at a family reunion. They left Mr. Bingle in charge, but he is trapped inside his little farmhouse in Polaria Borialis. HA! So I say, let's have some fun before they get back! We have like a week I think! The Queen forgot I have been her little guinea pig, so I know how to work all the controls. Any requests? Trash Mr. Bingle – 2006-11-10 21:00:28 Citizens! I thought I was clear. All trash is to be deposited in NEW IBERIA. I see most of it sitting around in burlap sacks randomly scattered about the Kingdom. You did well cleaning out the Gardens, I grant you, but the job is only half finished. Clean-up Mr. Bingle – 2006-11-01 23:12:59 The Trans-realm Halloween party is over. It was not a huge success, but it was not a flop either. Another trans-realm party might be considered in the future, and your input is welcome. In the meantime, all citizens are expected to help with the post party clean-up. A tidy realm is a happy realm. Trash may be collected and delivered to New Iberia for disposal. Trans-Realm Halloween Party Queen Venus – 2006-10-19 23:28:14 Loyal citizens of Dragon Gumbo, a special event swiftly approaches! On October 31, we will celebrate Halloween by throwing a party so huge, one realm cannot contain it! Please see the Dragon Gumbo Forums for details and to offer your suggestions or questions. More details will follow. Amusement Park Queen Venus – 2006-10-11 00:01:29 Sorry to inform those warriors who have acheived 10 dks, but we have (temporarily I hope) deactivated the Amusement Park. Everyone got a badnav from the free ticket. This issue is still getting complaints in DragonPrime. So it might be awhile before it gets fixed. We regret this failure to provide happy fun entertainment to our hard-working dragonslayers. We shall strive to make amends somehow. Regally yours, the Queen The Dragon Gumbo Forum Queen Venus – 2006-10-07 11:11:47 This is not about our LoGD site, but seems the quickest way to check this out. Chewie has upgraded the Dragon Gumbo forum. The new URL is dragongumbo/forums, not dragongumbo.phpBB2. However, there might be an issue with some browsers. PLEASE notify us if you cannot access the upgraded forum. Schnapps Mr. Bingle – 2006-09-30 17:11:31 Ha! All your Liverwurst Schnapps are belong to us! I went to Great Kegs and got it all! Just in time, too, because the King has removed most of the previous stock and replaced it with some weird stuff just arrived at the port in Crescent City. Hmmph. Things & Stuff King Rex – 2006-09-23 06:46:30 It has come to our attention that our previous drinks consultant has failed to capture the intrests of our realm in his new line of beverages at Great Kegs. This may be due to the frosty state of his taste buds, or his choice of vendors (Ye Olde Bargain Outlet), or both. Regardless, he has been sacked and awarded a lifetime supply of Liverwurst Schnapps to drown his shame in. Our new consultants, McMann & Tate have provided some rather sterling references and after speaking with their representative (Larry) I am much more confident of their ability to provide results. At their suggestion, we are opening a new thread in the Dragon Gumbo Forums to discuss these matters and open the floor to suggestions. I encourage everyone to participate in the dialogue. Finally, the Dragon Gumbo Forums are going through a series of updates and upgrades which will require several brief outages over the course of the following week. Should you be unable to access the forums during this time, then simply check back again later. Thank you all for your patience and understanding in these matters. regally yours, King Rex Now really, why can't you just drink tea? Queen Venus – 2006-09-15 10:50:20 It has been brought to the attention of my brother the King and myself that some of the citizens of the realm are dissatisfied with the inventory of the state-controlled liquor stores. Although we consider this to be a less than pressing matter in comparison to other urgent affairs of state, we have decided to hire a consultant to look into the matter. He shall assess the situation, review available options, conduct a cost analysis, and poll the populace for their preferences. You shall be hearing from him shortly. Please show him all the respect you would show the King or myself, since he is acting by royal appointment. Regally Yours Queen Venus Name Change Queen Venus – 2006-09-12 12:08:52 The King And I desire to return to the traditional name of the settlement in the North. There are many reasons to do so. But one of the realm's warriors especially requested it. So we shall use an alternate spelling, and the village formerly known as Trinita Borealis will henceforth be known as Polaria Borealis. Default Skin Queen Venus – 2006-09-06 23:22:04 A player cannot change his skin from the default, which is Black and White. Please everyone, check your preferences and see if you are having any trouble like this. I am not. So I am not sure how extensive this problem is. After you check it, please YOM me with your results. Sorry to bother you. Fruit Orchard Queen Venus – 2006-09-05 15:31:18 There is an issue with the Cellar and the Dark Alley which at this time we cannot resolve. Neither yeilds any special events, ever. Thus, it is impossible to find seeds there. We have disabled these modules. If you want to start an orchard, please go visit Elendil again in Eilaralei (after the disaster is over!). Please notify us if he still tells you to find the apple seed in the cellar. We've had a few annoying glitches like this lately. The Forum is another example. It works fine on our test server. But not here. Sorry for the inconvenience. Have no fear, we are actively seeking solutions. Time to Grow King Rex – 2006-08-14 23:27:20 Well, the Queen & I are testing some new mods that we hope to be adding soon, including an in-game forum which we hope everyone will enjoy. Watch for it in the next week or so! As some of you are advancing in DK's you will be wanting to enjoy some of the more "elite" options in the game, like building your own castle! However, to do so, you will need a unique resource: donation points. Here are the two ways you can get them: Method 1] Log on, use the Paypal link, on the bottom left of the page, to donate to the "Site Admin" (100 points per dollar donated). Donating to the author isn't a bad idea either to thank them for their hard work (but currently no donation points for this, just good karma). Method 2] Refer your friends to the site and help us grow. Do this by going to the JCP's Hunter Lodge in any village. Click on "referrals". Copy the link you are given and paste it into an email. When someone you know uses that link to join our site, then advances their character to Level 7, you will automatically be given 100 donation points. Donation points aren't necessary to enjoy the game, they just give you access to a some extra-cool extras. Have fun & thanks for all of y'all's support! Sincerely: King Rex Preferences Restored King Rex – 2006-08-07 23:33:36 Alrighty, after many many hours of research and experimentation, we have finally corrected the problem with the WSoD on preferences. IF you STILL get the wsod, please notify the King or Queen right away, but I am pretty certain it is now taken care of. Unfortunately, there were some prices that had to be paid. You may notice we no longer have three lovely moons in the sky, or the use of emoticons, or a few other nice, but otherwise unnecessary modules which had to go bye-bye. I think considering what had to be cut, we made the right choices. Thank you all for your incredible patience in enduring this lengthy bug hunt. Sincerely: King Rex Gift shop Queen Venus – 2006-08-03 00:17:04 Ferenginar won. Dillard has opened a store for Housewarming gifts there. The Grand Nagus got very annoyed at this, and moved his cardshop to Red Stick. Why can't they just get along? Happy Birthday to the King! Queen Venus – 2006-08-01 13:13:21 August 1st is a holiday in the Realm. Please be sure to visit the Garden today and enjoy the celebration!
