Gnomes 03/27/2004 03:26 PM CST
I was just wondering if their was any reason for us to post a bunch of ideas we have for the village since its probably already done, or if its still being worked on as far as items and history goes?

Also, I've asked something along these lines before but who do you think is the highest gnome right now? Eyedrop? Zelaide? Outside of moonies, how many gnomes we got 50+? Any higher up gnomish Bards? If so, got a name and/or circle?

Thanks.

I would put Redfers as one of the oldest gnomes still active. I am in my mid 70's.

Post away Najo, worst that happens is they get filed away for later use or they spark an idea.

I'm at work now, so I'll have to post the ideas later on. Where do you reside Zelaide? I was talking to Mykk last night and he told me something about you making the first official visit to Arthe Dale or something along those lines. I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Greetings,

I know Mrena is a Gnome Bardess of a greater amount of skill than I. I'm a 40th Kaldaran Bard, taking a large detour from advancing for a while. So, she's most probably great than 40th circle. But I know from my experience and looking around, being a 40th Bard puts me in the top five of highest Albarian Bards.

By the way, if any Albarian Bards are higher up than I, please let me know, and I'll add them to the order, probably knocking me down to 6th.

Gnomes of Shard 06/09/2007 03:31 PM CDT
Heya all,

Was speaking with two fine Gnomes last night, Yamaga and Norim, and we were thinking we would start the 'Gnomes of Shard' group back up. As always, its main purpose is for fellowship with other Gnomes, and to help any young Gnomes who are beginning their adventures in the Realm. And as always, our Kaldar kin are always welcome, and for that matter, any who just wish to enjoy some fellowship.

If any of you Gnomes out there are interested, please leave which day/s would be good for you to meet on. Initially we are thinking: Friday/Saturday night, or Sunday afternoon. If you would, please leave the day of your first choice, along with a second, even if it is not one of the days mentioned here.

We will meet at our usual place, the Gorbesh Fort south of Shard in the meeting room. Leave a post here if you need directions.

We are hoping to have our first meeting in two weeks. Each week we will try and have a guest instructor who will teach, answer questions, offer insight and instructions on their particular field of expertise, or a combination of all these things.

Our first guest/s will be Sabashtin and/or Galain. Two GRAND Warrior Mages who will no doubt be able to offer great insight into many different subjects and historical events. Even if they can't, it should be great fun just having them in our midst. :P

Heya Red,

Ok... what say we give this a shot and see what happens.


CALLING ALL GNOMES!!!

FIRST RE-MEETING OF THE GNOMES OF SHARD - 5:00 p.m. Sunday by the reckoning of the eastern shore. We meet in the meeting room of the Gorbesh Fort south of Shard. Leave word here if you need directions or help getting there. Make sure to tell your Gnome friends and family that they are invited.

Hopefully we'll have enough in attendance to try and pencil in a tentative regular meeting day and time that is good for everyone. Aside from that, we can discuss activities, etc. I know a festival has been mentioned to me a couple times. Perhaps we'll kick that around and see if everyone thinks it a good idea to attempt.

I was going to try and have a guest speaker that could lecture on different skills and such. Kind'a short notice, but I'll see if he can make it anyway.

If DART reads this before the meetings, maybe he'll stop in and chat with us about the village a little. Some hope > No hope.

Heya Peshel,

Of course we're open to the young, and old for that matter. It is one of the most basic reasons we exist, to help Gnomes. Once you get to Shard, gweth if you can and we'll come get you if you do not yet know where the Fort is.

Welcome to the group.

Thank you Halfstaff. I am afraid I lack the concentration to gweth yet, but I have found the fortress, and I believe the meeting room even. Does it have a dartboard perhaps?

Heyo Peshel,

You may be young, but obviously showing your Gnomish intelligence if you've already found the Fort. The meeting room does indeed have a dart board in it.

see ya at the meeting,

Gnomes of the Past - Where are they now? 01/24/2009 11:50 AM CST
Heyo all!

Shortly after the Gnome race had been released, I tried documenting (via our meetings and just wandering around) all the Gnomes of that era. My goal was to try and record the first Gnome to reach Elanthia.

Thought it might be fun to see who all is still around; what they're up to these days, and if they remained in the same profession.

I'm going to try and list by oldest to youngest, age and profession. If I've missed anyone from that time I sincerely apologize. Red, Yamaga, Replin, you guys were always around and I never thought to actually record all your info..sorry. ::bop Halfstaff::

((Gnarm Tinkertwittle had the distinction of being the eldest Gnome at that time, but re-rolled professions which also changed his age.))

NameAgeProfessions
-Gnarm Tinkertwittle62 - Paladin
-Gnarm Tinkertwittle41 - Moon Mage
-Nootie McDoogal55 - Thief
-Sanaria Valentos53 - Moon Mage
-Elsbette Kizardon52 - Warrior Mage
-Ooglebie Pickterschlogon51 - Bard
-Reltrerock Drowherkarr50 - Moon Mage
-Stormtears WindofDespair49 - Paladin
-Cogwheel Rust'Thumper48 - Cleric
-Pendil Renstones47 - Moon Mage
-Darcilius Manasata46 - Warrior Mage
-Twinklie Jewelcatcher45 - Empath
-Frappy Dustmaker44 - Trader
-Ezzra Slothberg41 - Empath
-Zelaide Dela'Mist40 - Moon Mage
-Chantia Sitaros39 - Empath
-Qaton Aletheo39 - Cleric
-Boriken Caribe38 - Barbarian
-Kainoo Pickterschlogon37 - Moon Mage
-Azhag VonReichman33 - Trader
-Negligen Krackatoa29 - Empath
-Eyedrop Darpole29 - Trader
-Tacea Gerwen'Belu? - ?
-Sapling Shortfry? - ?
-Ephen Indare? - ?


I remember Beya being a member of our group, but for some reason do not have her info recorded.

After this initial list I took a layoff from the game and did not really record any more Gnomes, as the initial goal was to try and record the first Gnome/s to set foot on Elanthian soil. I know there were probably others before those listed, but was not able to track them down, or they did not come to our meetings to have their names listed.

When I returned G.N.O.M.E had already been formed and to the best of my memory those core Gnomes were:

-Growlyn
-Everand
-Deeyn
-Orie

((These Gnomes may have been around as long as those in the first group, but I never encountered them at that time)).

Sincere apologies to anyone I may have missed.
Halfstaff

Gosh, I don't look in on the boards very often

Twinklie was sold, if I remember. Very sad

Eyedrop's player has left again now

Zelaide pops back from time to time

Haven't seen the others, other than Stormtears, in ages

Kaldar Gathering --- Gnomes wanted 08/20/2009 10:49 AM CDT
Greetings and Salutations!

The following was posted on the Kaldar forum but I wanted to make a point of inviting our Gnomish breathern. Both because the trivia contest and the announcement applies to both races AND because we just love having Gnomes at the meetings!

Hope to see you there,
GM Belladzia

<<Just a reminder that we will be meeting in the ampitheater on the 30th of this month at 9:00 PM EST. Vyraka will be hosting a trivia contest (complete with prizes) and afterwards I'll have a very special announcement to make. Should be a lively evening.>>

<<No I won't give anyone any hints about the announcement, you'll just have to show up and find out for yourselves. :) Ha!>>
