&lt;br /&gt;
For those of you who missed this year's Halloween Activities, contest&lt;br /&gt;
results can be found below, and Ptah's Halloween story has been&lt;br /&gt;
cleaned up and posted on the web.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Monthly purges will be running again in January. Please get in the&lt;br /&gt;
habit of checking in on your characters regularly, or archiving them&lt;br /&gt;
if you know you're not going to be around or not playing certain ones&lt;br /&gt;
regularly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chocorua has posted the list of chars that WOULD have been purged on&lt;br /&gt;
Nov. 1st, if the purge had run for real. You can review the list at:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We hope everyone that has characters they don't play frequently, but&lt;br /&gt;
aren't archived, can check this list and let us know if they found&lt;br /&gt;
any on the list that have played in the last month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You'll want to be sure alts and your clans are ready for when this&lt;br /&gt;
goes live on January 1st!&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;
     &lt;br /&gt;
We've made it to the 1st page of rankings for TMC! Thanks for helping!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We pick up this tale where we left off last week -- with knock at the&lt;br /&gt;
door from Haley to help with the interview, and the sound of LoJ&lt;br /&gt;
warcries echoing in our ears! When the fighting was finished, the&lt;br /&gt;
group settled back in to talk to us again. I asked them whether or&lt;br /&gt;
not they had any allies. Dharma indicated that Allegory qualified,&lt;br /&gt;
but explained that he was a member of an enemy clan, the Underworld,&lt;br /&gt;
and also that he insists that he doesn't love her. She added,&lt;br /&gt;
'Sometimes Allegory shows his love for me by jamming a piece of metal&lt;br /&gt;
into my back.' We decided to interpret this as a misguided but&lt;br /&gt;
well-meaning type of acupuncture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haley asked whether the clan was actively recruiting, and what sort&lt;br /&gt;
of recruits they're looking for. Galactus recommended that applicants&lt;br /&gt;
know the way of the axe, but Dharma clarified that 'Anyone who seeks&lt;br /&gt;
the way of Justice is welcome.' Applicants shouldn't expect endless&lt;br /&gt;
parties, but rather to truly join the fight for Justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haley asked further about the clan's approach to new warriors. &lt;br /&gt;
Dharma said that while most of the clan was composed of experienced&lt;br /&gt;
warriors, they hoped to recruit from among the inexperienced as well.&lt;br /&gt;
Geraden said, 'I have had little opportunity to do so, but I would&lt;br /&gt;
aid as I have been aided.' Dharma added, 'As long as your heart's in&lt;br /&gt;
the right place we don't care how far along you are physically.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vendetta, ever the recruiter, added, 'I think our greatest advantage&lt;br /&gt;
is that we are consistently present, and there is never a long period&lt;br /&gt;
of inactivity in most of our members.' If this lively interview,&lt;br /&gt;
punctuated by active conflicts, was any indication, the LoJ are&lt;br /&gt;
definitely an important clan to watch in the PK world -- or watch out&lt;br /&gt;
for, depending what side you stand on when it comes to promoting&lt;br /&gt;
Justice in the world!&lt;br /&gt;

There are currently 19 RP clans and 3 PK clans. This leaves open&lt;br /&gt;
slots for ten (10) 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;
for players interested in starting and running a clan, we recommend&lt;br /&gt;
that before you even type FORM, you visit:&lt;br /&gt;

                      Sandra's PK Contest!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like Vendetta and Horror are tearing up the masses. Are&lt;br /&gt;
you all going to let that happen!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sandra's Rules:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Multikills don't count. Don't be a wuss.&lt;br /&gt;
-The winners are subject to Sandra's approval. If she get a lot of&lt;br /&gt;
 complaints about you, it sucks to be you!&lt;br /&gt;
-Don't complain just to complain. You're supposed to be a killer,&lt;br /&gt;
 suck it up and fight back, or retire and go sit in a corner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sandra tallies the kills every Monday for the previous week. That means&lt;br /&gt;
the week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. She'll also be sending&lt;br /&gt;
notes to those involved in fights to make sure that they were fair&lt;br /&gt;
fights. No response to the note means that the fight was fair. That&lt;br /&gt;
means the week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. Results for the&lt;br /&gt;
week are posted on the war board. Results for the top 3 will be&lt;br /&gt;
tallied and posted every 4 weeks!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
                     Transition to Madness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I shall tell you a story of this world, but it cannot begin with&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Once Upon a Time&amp;quot;... Perhaps I should begin with my dream. Yes...&lt;br /&gt;
That is the best way to begin. Fairy tales are thick with funny&lt;br /&gt;
characters and happy endings. But this is no fairy tale. It is a&lt;br /&gt;
story forged in tears and blood. Besides...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I never liked fairy tales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My dream... It was a strange one. I dreamt of the people whose deaths&lt;br /&gt;
I have brought about. Their screams, their blood... I awoke, sweating&lt;br /&gt;
and crying in fear. I wasn't sure what the dream meant, but I knew it&lt;br /&gt;
was something. Something was changing about my perceptions of life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I pondered this odd dream for days, wavering between sanity and&lt;br /&gt;
insanity. What was I doing with my life? Why had I destroyed the&lt;br /&gt;
lives of so many people? Was I no better than them? But I finally&lt;br /&gt;
disregarded it. For weeks, I went about my usual routine, living by&lt;br /&gt;
my code. Bringer of death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was walking the streets of a town one night to find a group of men&lt;br /&gt;
about to... hurt a young woman. They grinned and laughed as they&lt;br /&gt;
threw her around, punching and kicking. I drew my blade, and spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Leave her now, or suffer the consequences.&amp;quot; The men laughed at me,&lt;br /&gt;
and drew knives and swords of their own. One grabbed her from behind&lt;br /&gt;
and pressed his knife to her throat. The others charged. With the&lt;br /&gt;
precision and speed I had used so many times before, I met the battle&lt;br /&gt;
with no effort. With a flick of my wrist, a dagger was away. I didn't&lt;br /&gt;
even look, but I heard the &amp;quot;thump&amp;quot; as it hit the man who was&lt;br /&gt;
threatening the woman. My sword cut the next down, and as I swept it&lt;br /&gt;
through the next, realization racked my mind. The dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bringer of death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I felt his blood spray onto my face as he fell. I too fell to the&lt;br /&gt;
ground, on my knees, crying in pain at what I had done. How could I&lt;br /&gt;
have lived my life like this for so long? How, dear spirits, could I&lt;br /&gt;
have killed so many people, innocent or not? I grieved unto what I&lt;br /&gt;
had done. In a blind rage, I ran from the town, into the woods, to a&lt;br /&gt;
small lake. I wished to wash the blood of these men off of me. But I&lt;br /&gt;
knew that I could never wash my sins away. They would always follow&lt;br /&gt;
me, forever. As hard as I could, I hurled my sword into the lake.&lt;br /&gt;
People should never have to wield that accursed thing. As it&lt;br /&gt;
happened, I started to laugh. Falling backward, I laughed like a&lt;br /&gt;
madman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laughed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I vowed, then and there, to bring the humor that once ruled my life&lt;br /&gt;
back into my persona. I then took on the alter ego &amp;quot;Pantsman&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
Donning a cape and a pair of undershorts, I promised to make children&lt;br /&gt;
laugh and protect the weak at the same time. I knew that hell was in&lt;br /&gt;
my future, but I could at least start living my life the way it was&lt;br /&gt;
meant to live: to really help people. To show them the magic of&lt;br /&gt;
laughter, and the happiness of comedy. So, from here on, I shall be&lt;br /&gt;
known as Pantsman. Defender of truth, justice, and... Pants!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trousers will no longer appear as:&lt;br /&gt;
     Short: the grey-eyed Seeker of Truth&lt;br /&gt;
     Long:  A warrior wielding a magnificent silver blade has come to&lt;br /&gt;
            rest here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He will now appear as:&lt;br /&gt;
     Short: a hyperactive hero masked in pants&lt;br /&gt;
     Long: The infamous hero masked in pants is here, seeking justice.&lt;br /&gt;
           &lt;br /&gt;
