Hi there!The promotion ceremony is a great idea. As to the logistics of doing it; we obviously can't do it in real life, at least not everyone. Perhaps we could do it in IRC or ActiveWorlds (Or KnightChat, if I ever finish writing it!).As for a KCI or GCI oath, it's probably not necessary. Granting of a KCI is rare at best, and a GCI (our highest honour) might happen but once in a lifetime. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.Regards,
Sir Greg------------------

Time for me to put in my information at this time. Everything looks pretty cool and I think this is a great turn of events for us all.
I also think the KnightChat is a great idea, but i think it would be cool if we all could get together in flesh and blood and finally meet all of us, however of course that is nearly impossible unless we all got money together and tried to find a place for all of us to meet. Until that Most Glorious of Days when We All Shall Meet, Knightchat is a good step forward and the final revision for the KI Oath should be put up.

Until KnightChat is up and running (what is KnightChat? Why haven't I heard about it? Anyway.) I offer up my IRC network, Nightstar, for Knights and Companions to meet virtually.Nightstar is currently home to #CRFH and several other comic strip channels, and everyone seems to be pretty satisfied with it (after some settling-in, of course).If you've never used IRC, we can start a new thread to explain how to get onto Nightstar, and if you have used IRC before, the server is irc.nightstar.netLet me know!

Hi there! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Ogredude:
Until KnightChat is up and running (what is KnightChat? Why haven't I heard about it? Anyway.)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Knightchat is a program I'm working on for the Conclave of Knights. It's similar to a very basic IRC client, but specifically geared towards the Order of Jubal, and also handles things like secure sessions, automatic voting and tallying, etc.Theres no reason that it couldn't be used for ceremonies. Or for anything for that matter, since it isn't finished yet.The down side is that I was only intending to write a Windows version for it, since I have neither a Mac nor the programming skill to program one, nor are my Linux skills good enough.If anyone is interested in developing a Mac or Linux version, I'm happy to document the protocols and make them available. As soon as I've worked 'em out myself.btw, have could someone please post the finanlised (or, at least, current version) of the Oath. I need it for the revamp of the EI website, which will be coming soon to a browser near you.Regards,

I was waiting to see if there were any more suggestions, but people seem happy.Here it is:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
AN OATH FOR THE KNIGHTS OF JUBAL
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-It is known that for thousands of years
the strong have preyed upon the weak.At various times and places an ideal arises,
an ideal contravening this so-called natural order of things,
an ideal requiring
that the strong PROTECT those who are weak,
that those who have PROVIDE FOR those who have not,
and that those who can HELP AND AID those who cannot.It is known that this high ideal of Chivalry has arisen
time and again
only to be hidden by the actions of humanity
time and again.THEREFORE, we Knights of the Order of Jubal
do hereby declare and affirm and aver
that the High Ideals of Chivalry are once again
brought to the light of day and so swear to live by them.Remember that any action creates a reaction.
Therefore, what you do, expect to receive.The Knight's word must be the word of truth and
counted more trustworthy than a legal contract.
Therefore, when you must give your word in bond, keep it.Do not speak ill of others, for you may not know the whole truth.
Similarly, do not gossip, for unverified words are hearsay
and in large part a thing of falsehoods.
Be honest with others, and have them know that honesty
is likewise expected of them.The anger of a moment leads to foolishness and
may wreak havoc on the truth;
remember the Motto and keep your cool.Consider the consequences of your actions for others.
Strive to do no harm.Learn quickly what the local norms of practice are.
Obeying them will lead to peaceful interaction rather than useless conflict.
Similarly, dignity and good humour are much to be admired.Courage and honour endure,
even after mountains have crumbled to dust.Pledge your friendship to those who warrant it
and support others in their need that
they may support you when you are in need.The laws of the land should be obeyed
wherever possible and within reason,
for they are generally chosen with wisdom.Any Knight following this High Path of Chivalry
must be above reproach in the eyes of the world.
Only then will the darkness be lifted.TO THESE ENDS, we, the Knights of Jubal, swear:
to uphold the right, even at the cost of our lives;
to mete out even handed justice, tempered with mercy;
to assist and defend others; and
to strive to act with honour at all times.Probi Immotiqve Este: Be virtuous and cool.

Hey. Searching around the web for more information in our chivalrous pursuit, (i.e. More material for the "What Is" page) and came across a page marked as The Weapons Emporium, from whence the following was taken. It's a compliation of many different sources. Sift through it and enjoy.Oh, yes, one more thing. As how the last was Paganized... this one's Christianized (to a degree, anyway). Again, consider yourself forewarned.The Code of Chivalry
The "Code of Chivalry" is often thought to be a single code, when in fact, there were many such codes. Each order of Knights had it's own oaths and codes to which its members were to adhere. However, there was great similarity in these oaths and codes. The codes presented below are true to the spirit of Chivalry, and represent various adaptations of this guide to honorable behavior. While chivalry is a centuries-old concept, The Weapons Emporium believes that we can still learn much from studying these codes. We encourage you to adapt the codes below into your own personal code of conduct, and then to stay true to this code. There are many rewards for following a disciplined life, not least of which is the personal satisfaction of a life well lived.
The Code of Chivalry according to the Order of the RoseThou shalt defend the innocent.
Thou shalt respect all weaknesses and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them.
Thou shalt love the country in which thou was born.
Thou shalt not recoil before thine enemy.
Thou shalt perform scrupulously the feudal duties.
Thou shalt never lie and remain faithful to thy pledged word.
Thou shalt be generous and give largesse to everyone.
Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and Good and the foe of Injustice and Evil. Ye Olde Knightly Code of Chivalry1. Thou shalt believe all thy church teaches and observe all its directions.
2. Thou shalt defend thy church.
3. Thou shalt defend thy King and Queen unto death.
4. Thou shalt defend thy country against all whom oppose it without cessation and without mercy.
5. Thou shalt defend that of any charge unto death.
6. Thou shalt respect all those whom are weak, the poor and the innocent, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them.
7. Thou shalt never lie and remain faithful to thy pledged word.
8. Thou shalt never brandish thy weapon in anger nor for evil purposes.
9. Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy feudal duties, if they be not contrary to the laws of god.
10. Thou shalt be everywhere and always thy champion of the Right, the Good and the True, and forever the foe of Injustice, Tyranny and Evil.
11. Thou shalt always fight fair and in an honorable fashion.
12. Thou shalt be generous and give largesse to everyone.In addition to oaths and other codes, there were also Chivalric guidelines for character and romantic relationships.Ye Nine Points of Knightly Virtue

It would be a great honor for myself and my entire Household if I could fight with your favor, and be your champion in this upcoming Affair of Arms. I will do my best to prove the strength of my arms so that I may show to
those nobles assembled your great honor, beauty, and gentle grace. If she excepts your offer of Championship she is then expected to bestow on you a favor. A favor is a piece of cloth or jewelry which is personal to the lady. You wear the favor in your belt as a sign that you are fighting for her and that you will do your best to uphold her honor on the tourney field. Virtues of Chivalrous love Modest Attentive Honest

Greg-
I'm not a member of your Order, but was reading these boards, and happened to notice your post about you making this KnightChat program.I was wondering, how far along are you, and what features were you planning for it? The reason I ask is that I was working on a *somewhat* similar project earlier, which was actually intended to function something like an instant messaging program with offline messaging, and "petitions" which could be voted on by people. There were two parts of it, the server and client, and I had added a rudimentry form of encryption to it.It was written as a Java application, and would thus work on any platform that has a JRE (Java Runtime Environment). This includes Macs, Windows, Linux, and Solaris, for instance.I was not intending to distribute it as open source, or even to distribute it at all, at this point. Also, it's only around 40%-70% finished, and many of the features I've planned aren't implemented yet.I'm quite busy, however, with my regular life, which is part of the reason I haven't been working on it recently.Come to think of it, your program doesn't sound as complicated as the one I'm working on, and it sounds like it'd probably be more work for me to remove stuff from mine to make it work the way you'd want than it would to make a new one from scratch (or near-scratch, keeping just the basic networking stuff)If you want, I should be able to make or help make a java version of a Client for it.Also, does your KnightChat work as a client/server application? Or is it one program that can act as both a client and a server?-ShadowlordPS This post may seem somewhat disarranged, but that's because I need sleep. *Goes to sleep*

Hi there! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Shadowlord:
Also, does your KnightChat work as a client/server application? Or is it one program that can act as both a client and a server?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>It's fully client-server. My java skills are next to non-existent, so I was developing it in VB6.Basically, I was working on a telnet-like connection, with a messaging language communicating on top of it. Therefore, it should be pretty easy to develop a client in almost any language and platform, provided that it can handle TCP connections.So far, I've fully developed the server daemon and half-written the client, then changed my mind on the architecture and am currently doing a rewrite of the server software.The encryption is basically a very-cutdown Diffey-Hellman with key exchange done automagically by the software. I thought of using the PGP APIs but didn't like the looks or the price of them. I may take another look further down the track.Regards,
Sir Greg

On the matter of copryrights: I believe that as long as we say it's copyright, according to new rules, (at least in the U.S.) it is. We don't even necessarily have to file for a copryright. (I'm not sure if it applies, but for webpages it does...)As for the actual recording: Sir Timber, you're excellent. I have an idea, however. If I can find a .wav to .mp3 converter somewhere, then I can have everyone take a swing at it that has a microphone and recording capabilities.Anyone else wanting to take a swing at it?------------------

I do have a converter, and would be more than happy to volunteer it's use, if anyone wanted to try their hand (er voice) at it ^_^------------------

I vote for Sir Sean Connery ^_~ and not just cause his voice (to quote Ki of GPF fame) "Makes my toes curl". Who better than a knight (even if it's only honorary) to represent a group such as this?... And by the way..I think Sir Timber sounds just fine doing it, take it from a professional ^_~------------------

Hi there! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Silver Adept:
I believe that as long as we say it's copyright, according to new rules, (at least in the U.S.) it is. We don't even necessarily have to file for a copryright. (I'm not sure if it applies, but for webpages it does...)
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Under Australian laws, if the person (or group) that writes it says that it's copyright, and can provide a date and time that it was written (presumeably, the timestamp on the Keenspot posting is sufficient), then it is.If it came to a legal challenge, our biggest problem would be establishing that the Order of Jubal is a legal entity in itself, and thus has the right to own a copyright and take legal action.Currently, I'm not quite sure where we stand. But it's probably a good idea that we find out.So, we need to establish a proper "Head Office", if only in name. My feeling is that it should be in a country where one of the Knights lives. But I'm not sure which one would be the best choice to do so.Really, we need somewhere that allows us to:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Act as a legal entity (i.e. Own copyright, hold and despose of property and assets, sue - and be sued.)
<LI>Grant honours and titles
<LI>Grant armorial blazons
</UL>I'm not sure where Australia stands in this, but I suspect the blazons and honours may be a sticking point.Any idea where the U.S. stands on this?On the subject of the MP3, I think Sir Timber has done well. And a good copy on Napster will give people pause for thought - particularly as it will probably be the only file on their once the courts are done with them!Regards,
Sir Greg------------------
