PAXOKU, TOKUNO - December 18, 2006

It was highly rumored that PaxLair would be entering a new Age soon.  That age was announced as the "Age of Enlightenment" and will last for six months.  PaxLair is currently finishing its "Age of Cities"; this Age forms the basic long-term foundations of five player-cities on the Chesapeake shard.  The "Age of Enlightenment," due to start in January 2007, will focus on a very open use of all cities [in very realistic ways, i.e., through in-game immersion enhanced by roleplaying and character interaction].  An Outline for the Age of Enlightenment is Here and available for comment.

PaxLair recently held a Retreat meeting with government leadership, citizens, and friends at the Tea House in PaxOku.  The Mayor opened the meeting by explaining some of the concepts for concluding PaxLair's Age of Cities by January 19, 2007.  Then details and decisions were made regarding the PaxLair community's 9th Anniversary Celebration starting on Sunday, January 14 and ending on the official 9th Anniversary day of January 19th, 2007.  Finally, the Mayor revealed the next Age of PaxLair which is called the "Age of Enlightenment".

Great discussion ensued for an hour and a half, the official duration of the meeting, on a variety of topics.  The meeting officially concluded and then people continued to discuss ideas for another hour or more.  More details of the discussions will be reported when certain minutes are released and announcements are made.  Topics will also be explained at the weekly PaxLair meetings on Tuesday at 9 PM ET.

PaxLair holds Retreat meetings every two months with leadership of all cities and citizens.  The next Retreat meeting is scheduled for the week of February 19, 2007.
