&lt;br /&gt;
  I hope that everyone is having a happy and safe Holiday Season!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apologies for not getting an issue out for a while again. It's been a&lt;br /&gt;
crazy month here and other than the news that's available in game &lt;br /&gt;
there haven't been many submissions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just a reminder that on next Saturday (Jan 1st), the monthly purge&lt;br /&gt;
scripts will be turned back on and begin moving playerfiles from the&lt;br /&gt;
active directory to the purged directories. It is ALWAYS safer to&lt;br /&gt;
archive your characters if you are going to be gone for a period of&lt;br /&gt;
time. While we do our best to keep the purged backups as long as&lt;br /&gt;
possible, there is no guarantee that a character that has been purged&lt;br /&gt;
can be retrieved, especially if someone has made a new character with&lt;br /&gt;
the same name in the meantime.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The characters that would have been purged on Dec. 1 are still&lt;br /&gt;
available on the web at this link.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Likewise, the purge scripts will have consequences for clans with&lt;br /&gt;
members that have not logged on recently as well. The following clans&lt;br /&gt;
are in danger of falling to or below the minimum number of members&lt;br /&gt;
with next week's purge:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
  The Church of Epicurean Enlightenment  New Player Helpers&lt;br /&gt;
  Union of Protagonists                  The Dark Necromancers Society&lt;br /&gt;
  Fields of Albion                       Knights of the Temple&lt;br /&gt;
  IRA                                    Avengers&lt;br /&gt;
  Knights of Legend                      The Hermetic Order&lt;br /&gt;
  The Grand Coven&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
There are also several clans that will change GMships with the purge&lt;br /&gt;
unless the current GMs log in before then. If the GM is purged,&lt;br /&gt;
pledges revert to your own character and the first member with the&lt;br /&gt;
most pledges is automatically named GM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have a great week and please take a few minutes to cast your votes&lt;br /&gt;
for LegendMUD at TopMudSites.com and MudConnector.com.&lt;br /&gt;

        call for character deletion, but repeated violations may call&lt;br /&gt;

Society has many, often unspoken, rules of conduct that it relies upon&lt;br /&gt;
for smooth operations. Newcomers to mudding are often unaware of mud&lt;br /&gt;

               'Til Death Do Us Part - A Game for Couples&lt;br /&gt;
                       ran by Darktalon and Lenore&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;'Til Death Do Us Part&amp;quot; game took place on Sunday, Dec 5th. The&lt;br /&gt;
game essentially was &amp;quot;The Newly-wed Game&amp;quot; with a LegendMUD twist.&lt;br /&gt;
Couples were split up and put into two isolation booths, one called&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Dark&amp;quot; and the other called &amp;quot;Dead&amp;quot;. They were asked questions about&lt;br /&gt;
the person in either the &amp;quot;Dark&amp;quot; or the &amp;quot;Dead&amp;quot; room, and both would&lt;br /&gt;
answer at the same time to see if their answers would match, and&lt;br /&gt;
therefore how well their knew each other and their relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
Matching answers got a point. The game was split into three rounds of&lt;br /&gt;
ten questions each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four couples participated, Team Honeybadger: Snoogle and Major&lt;br /&gt;
Static, Team Pimps-a-lot: Horror and Mercedes, Team Vulcan Ears:&lt;br /&gt;
Kastina and Spanish-Flea and Team Buttercup: Kayla and Haplo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some sample questions/answers were:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your relationship is most like: a) Karin and Erich (meant to be), b)&lt;br /&gt;
Allan-a-dale and Fennel (star-crossed), c) Scheherezade and Sultan&lt;br /&gt;
(submissive), or d) old husband and wife in Orkney (ball and&lt;br /&gt;
chain-like)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     Snoggle: b; Major Static: b&lt;br /&gt;
     Horror: d; Mercedes: c&lt;br /&gt;
     Kastina: oh my c, hahahaha; Spanish-Flea: submissive! hahaha, c&lt;br /&gt;
     Kayla: a; Haplo: karin and erich, a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Dark was a mob, how tough would they be: a) the tarasque, b) a&lt;br /&gt;
muscular guard, c) a country squire, or d) field mouse?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     Snoggle: a; Major Static: taraaque or a... cuz i cant spell&lt;br /&gt;
     Horror: b; Mercedes: D&lt;br /&gt;
     Kastina: he's my guard; Spanish-Flea: b&lt;br /&gt;
     Kayla: a; Haplo: tarasasque&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your physical relationship were a drink, would it be: a) mug of&lt;br /&gt;
firebreather! b) skin of mead c) leather waterskin, d) mug of milk,&lt;br /&gt;
or e) puddle that smells like eggs&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     Snoggle: b; Major Static: b&lt;br /&gt;
     Horror: e; Mercedes: a&lt;br /&gt;
     Kastina: b; Spanish-Flea: skinny of mead, b&lt;br /&gt;
     Kayla: a; Haplo: a, mug of firebreather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the questions and answers can be found at:&lt;br /&gt;
             http://www.swankme.com/ooky/tildeathdouspart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The updated scores: Team Pimps-a-lot, Horror and Mercedes, came in&lt;br /&gt;
4th with 13 points and won his and hers &amp;quot;boobie&amp;quot; prizes, red swimming&lt;br /&gt;
trunks and one-piece swimsuit. Team Buttercup, Kayla and Haplo, came&lt;br /&gt;
in 3rd with 14 points and won a bronze trophy of intertwined hearts&lt;br /&gt;
and his and hers pink prize tokens. Team Vulcan Ears, Kastina and&lt;br /&gt;
Spanish-Flea, came in 2nd with 21 points and won a silver trophy of&lt;br /&gt;
intertwined hearts and his and hers half-string coupons. Team&lt;br /&gt;
Honeybadger, Snoogle and Major Static, came in 1st with 27 points and&lt;br /&gt;
won a golden trophy of intertwined hearts and his and his non-string&lt;br /&gt;
coupons, these two men know each other better than any two men I've&lt;br /&gt;
ever known...give them a round of applause!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course a game of 'Til Death Do Us Part wouldn't be complete&lt;br /&gt;
without some dying. PK broke out between several individuals/couples&lt;br /&gt;
and resulted in Mercedes helping Dalia kick the bucket (and she was&lt;br /&gt;
just watching the game!) and Mercedes exploring the netherworld a&lt;br /&gt;
little early thanks to Spanish-Flea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps one of the most touching moments happened at the end of the&lt;br /&gt;
game between Spanish-Flea and Kastina. 'And now to show that I love&lt;br /&gt;
Kastina more than you love any of your partners,' Spanish-Flea said&lt;br /&gt;
stupidly and then he gave his half-string coupon to Kastina (before&lt;br /&gt;
she could steal it). Kastina snuggled up to the silver trophy of&lt;br /&gt;
intertwined hearts (you've heard of strange bedfellows, but REALLY!)&lt;br /&gt;
as Spanish-Flea grovelled before her and said 'So in the end, we're&lt;br /&gt;
the bestest couple.' Awwwwwww.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Special thanks to LadyAce for letting us use her isolation booths and&lt;br /&gt;
helping us set up the game. Thanks for playing everyone! We hoped you&lt;br /&gt;
enjoyed it.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Underworld celebrated its first anniversary of forming on&lt;br /&gt;
December 1st. The clan started out as an RP clan, changing over to a&lt;br /&gt;
PK clan on March 3rd, 2004.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The clan's stated purpose is to kill everyone and those interested in&lt;br /&gt;
joining or negotiating details of a clan war should contact Trousers&lt;br /&gt;
for more information. You can also visit: http://underworld.aowc.net.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
             =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are currently 20 RP clans and 3 PK clans. This leaves open&lt;br /&gt;
slots for nine (9) more clans to form. For more information, read&lt;br /&gt;
HELP CLAN and see the clan information list via the CLANS command&lt;br /&gt;
while logged into the game. For a basic handbook and reference guide&lt;br /&gt;

                   Minotaur's Rampage Begins&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As i Walked through the Valley Of Fire and Flame i realized I wanted&lt;br /&gt;
more. More than just this life of Death and Horror. I went to the&lt;br /&gt;
elders of Hell and told them I need to leave -- I needed to go to&lt;br /&gt;
earth -- to Destroy and make a name for myself on Earth. I dreamed&lt;br /&gt;
about the evil and terrible things I could unleash unto the world and&lt;br /&gt;
basked in my own glory and wonder. I knew what I had to do when I&lt;br /&gt;
arrived there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I got word from the Dark Prince himself allowing me to go out onto&lt;br /&gt;
the world and bring chaos to all who seek the rules of the Heaven to&lt;br /&gt;
be in place. To destroy all who had the will to serve Life and to&lt;br /&gt;
corrupt all the souls of earth to make Hell a Powerful Underworld. I&lt;br /&gt;
swore to to all that I could in the name of Hell on earth, so I set&lt;br /&gt;
out to begin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I went the front gates of Hell to begin my rampage. The First Thing I&lt;br /&gt;
came upon was a small town with innocent people. I chuckled as i saw&lt;br /&gt;
how weak they all were. I stood on the hilltop above the town and&lt;br /&gt;
drew my Great bow I had forged from the fires of hell and engraved&lt;br /&gt;
with the symbols of true darkness and loaded it with a arrow burning&lt;br /&gt;
with hell fire. I began to shoot the villagers down one by one&lt;br /&gt;
enjoying every moment. I could feel the souls being harvested to&lt;br /&gt;
enhance the essence of Hell and all its glory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I knew that this was only the first of my Terror on earth. I was&lt;br /&gt;
going to Bring Hell upon earth with the might of the minotaurs and&lt;br /&gt;
the powers of hell behind me. When I had killed all the outside&lt;br /&gt;
villagers I slung my bow over my shoulder and began to walk down to&lt;br /&gt;
start my rampage.&lt;br /&gt;
