Event Moderator Winfield and the Winmere Sandals of Enlightenment

PAXLAIR, FELUCCA - April 01, 2005 (April Fool's Day!) - Winfield, Mayor of PaxLair is fortunate today to make the claim that he has been hired by the Gods of Britannia!  Winfield, one of the oldest and wisest mages on Chesapeake will be granted powers of the Event Moderators (EM's) and will become Chesapeake's newest EM, replacing Myrina Heron (aka EM Celestria).  The gods were apparently impressed with his leadership (and success) at the Britain Defense and decided to give EM Celestria her pink slip.  I spoke with Event Moderator Winfield earlier this morning and he informed me about some sweeping changes that will be coming to PaxLair and Britannia:

"...yes.  First of all, sadly I will no longer have much time to pay attention to PaxLair, and because the city will have a hard time finding a better leader, I believe it is most safe to demolish at least one of the twin towers.  Someone will surely come along in the spirit of the old times and place a house at that locale, so this is definitely not the end of PaxLair my friends, just a bit of an upheaval."

Rumor has it that Event Moderator Winfield also has some influence with the Dev Team now that he's a paid staffer of (EA).  Winfield also stated that:

"I'm in talks with Wilki and Oaks at EA and we've settled on a decision to change the property Faster Casting from a magery modifier into a fishing modifier."

EM Winfield clarified this statement saying that Faster Casting would now spawn on fishing rods and would allow the EM, in his spare time to cast his lure faster into the water at the East Brit Pond (near the EM's office, naturally), and thus catch more fish that he could pawn off to the locals to buy Quest Props so that he could put reputable quest-runners like Lord Gareth and The Gatekeeper out of business on Chesapeake!

In what appears to be the most shocking of the new changes coming with the introduction of Event Moderator Winfield, he announced that his sidekick Winmere would play the role of the EM's sandals of enlightenment.  Winfield was apparently greatly impressed with her acquirement of that Staff of the Magi, and decided to turn her into a pair of beach-sneakers... ahem... well crafted sandals.  The new shoes will have the power to turn Trammel into a PvP zone at any given time.  There's even word that EM Winfield has been talking with Serik and Ed McManus of !C! and Ransom and Hyper of BiC about raiding all of the trammy banksitters once WBB goes back to Britain!!

All hail Winfield, God of the Gods!  Congratulations on your new job.  May the torture begin.  *puts on shackles and ties Eli and John Duke together so that they may be trampled by the sandals*
