*A history flashback* - The first Bohemia ascension

Look at what I found as I was going through my inventory. Hehe

A message from Queen Julie:

Well, we have lost our Royal Charmer, he has disappeared into the beyond to go charm his own subjects in his own kingdom! Congratulations to Rexx Capalini, King of Charm! It's the very first ascencion from Bohemia, which isn't bad going for a kingdom barely a month old (not even sure it's that old).

Those of you who were under Rexx in Bohemia will of course have gone with him to his new kingdom. At the time of writing, the Emperor hasn't set the kingdom name so your hud will say "Blah Blah of ...". Once the kingdom name is set, that will change. Basically, if it no longer says Bohemia, you are part of the new kingdom and now have a brand-new King instead of a grotty old Queen (hee-hee).

As far as the Bohemia kingdom group is concerned, obviously this is for Bohemia members. Rexx has created his own kingdom group, which he will be inviting his people to, which is how it should be. However, because I know how difficult these changes can be, I am more than happy for those of you who want to stay in the Bohemia group to do so for a week or two until you get used to the new kingdom and the new group. After that, I will remove you all as gently as possible! If you want to leave voluntarily before that, you can of course do so.

As far as the Tavern of Bohemia is concerned (our new meeting-place for those of you who still don't know!), those of you in the new kingdom are all more than welcome to visit there whenever you want to. We're not enemies and there is no reason for you to give up established friendships or stop socialising with Bohemia members.

Both Rexx and I are aware that some of you may wish to return to Bohemia, this is normal when someone ascends, and we're both cool with that. Similarly, if anyone wants to leave Bohemia to join Rexx's new kingdom, we're cool with that, too. The important thing is for you to be where you want to be, where you feel most settled. Different monarchs run their kingdoms differently and what appeals to one person won't necessarily appeal to the next, so it's up to you to make your own decisions as to where you feel you belong. Don't hesitate to ask advice about this if you are unsure as to what to do.

As far as things like bribes and sabotage are concerned ... I am not going to ask Bohemia members not to bribe anyone from Rexx's kingdom because there are always going to be new members joining who will have no idea that Rexx used to be part of Bohemia and it just gets too complicated. If you prefer not to bribe them, that's fine. The choice in this, as in everything else, is yours. As far as sabotage is concerned, I would rather you didn't sabotage them (in fact, I'd rather you didn't sabotage anyone, but if you must pick on someone, go for that Sparta crowd as they seem intent on sabotaging us at every opportunity).

So, that's it. I'd just like to wish Rexx all the very best with his new kingdom and I hope it grows from strength to strength (preferably not too much, he's already bumped me down a spot in the standings by leaving, so he'd better not go passing me ... lmao).

Just remember, if anyone has any questions, regardless of whether they're in Bohemia or the new kingdom, all you have to do is ask. I'll still still be available to those of you who have gone, as I always was, and I'm sure the same applies to Rexx the other way around.

Have fun in your kingdom and remember, you're welcome at the Tavern of Bohemia anytime.

Ascension Sunday 8/17/08

Woohoo! Another ascension, below a note from King Rexx:
[Dec 1125] Queen Peachy Sassoon ascended.

We've got another one! Charmers, please join me in congratulating Queen Peachy Sassoon who ascended Sunday and formed the Queendom of Godiva!

Peachy has been a long time Charmer with us since December or January. And many of you know her as Charms new-people-chocolate-giver-greeter.

Congratulations Peachy. Gonna miss those chocolates... :)

As we try to do with all of our Charm families, let's give 'em some time settle in.
No bribes for Fiery Charm, Charmed Menagerie and Queendom of Godiva until further notice. Of course, we can try to steal her chocolates....
-Rexx
Let's all wish Peachy and the Queendom of Godiva the best of luck!

Ascension Saturday 8/2

Wooohooo our 4th ascension out of Charm. Below a message from King Rexx:

I want to send out a big old Charm congratulations to Charm's very own Queen Whisper Dallagio of the Charmed Menagerie, who ascended today.

It's quite an accomplishment to make a monarchy. It takes a lot of effort and dedication from EVERYONE. So Great Job to Whisper and the downline!

As with all of our Charm families, let's give 'em some time settle in. Please refrain from clicking that bribe button for anyone in Fiery Charm and our newest friends in The Charmed Menagerie until further notice!

-Rexx

Let's wish all the best to Whisper and her Charmed Menagerie!!
