Heyya Again :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The big news from the Immortals recently is, of course, the addition of&lt;br /&gt;
several new members to the staff. Please help us welcome them aboard! Look for&lt;br /&gt;
bio's from each new Assistant Immortal under Player Relations, Building, and&lt;br /&gt;
Administration. All the new folks are excited and enthusiastic, so expect lots&lt;br /&gt;
to be going on around Legend as they add their input to the immortal staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Croaker has already reinstated the trivia games that so many have missed,&lt;br /&gt;
with his first game on Friday, March 15. Check out the Welcome Board and&lt;br /&gt;
Trivia Board for more information on when the games will run and on standings.&lt;br /&gt;
A reminder: Players wanting to play Recalltag should/must read the &amp;quot;Standard&lt;br /&gt;
Rules&amp;quot; after they tell recalltag that they want to play. If you've read the&lt;br /&gt;
rules before, try to brush up on them every now and then so that there are no&lt;br /&gt;
confusions or misconceptions. Please be considerate of the new immortals as&lt;br /&gt;
they get used to running the various games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leila is working on a new Lottery Prize-drawing for those who contribute&lt;br /&gt;
everything from personals to articles to the LT. So send in your news, no&lt;br /&gt;
matter how small it may seem :) Please send your submissions to the Legendary&lt;br /&gt;
Times address at lt@mud.aus.sig.net. Letters to the editor and submissions of&lt;br /&gt;
all types are welcomed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    On to the good stuff!&lt;br /&gt;

- WEB UPDATE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    The MUD player types survey is now on the mud's web site. You can take the&lt;br /&gt;
    survey and see what sort of play type YOU are and how you fit into the&lt;br /&gt;
    sociology of LegendMUD. Look for it under the Lecture Series section at&lt;br /&gt;
    http://mud.aus.sig.net/lseries.html or go directly there:&lt;br /&gt;

                               NEW IMMORTALS&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eight new immortals have been added to LegendMUD's staff: two in building,&lt;br /&gt;
three in Player Relations, and three in Administration. Please help us&lt;br /&gt;
congratulate and welcome them!!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
- LADYACE!&lt;br /&gt;
            &lt;br /&gt;
    LadyAce plays Kaylea Hascall in the game of life, and attends the&lt;br /&gt;
    University of Chicago where her major is Near Eastern Languages and&lt;br /&gt;
    Civilizations. She spends way too much time playing with computers and&lt;br /&gt;
    likes to cook and do needlework. When she grows up she wants to either be&lt;br /&gt;
    a lawyer or own her own business. Watch for her Crusades-era Middle East&lt;br /&gt;
    sometime in the not-so-distant future!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- ALHAZRED!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Alhazred was raised in Walla Walla, WA, the town so nice it named itself&lt;br /&gt;
    twice. Early on, he distinguished himself with his ability to consume&lt;br /&gt;
    massive quantities of  Walla Walla Sweet Onions at the county fair. He&lt;br /&gt;
    graduated from high school and got a job at the local 7 Eleven. In order&lt;br /&gt;
    to make the long night shifts go faster, he purchased himself a&lt;br /&gt;
    superlative video terminal and hooked up to the Net. By the time his boss&lt;br /&gt;
    realized where all the long distance charges were coming from, Alhazred&lt;br /&gt;
    had already figured out how to satisfy his Net hunger through the slightly&lt;br /&gt;
    more devious method of becoming a full time student at Rothchilde's&lt;br /&gt;
    Cosmetology and Sewage Sucking School. We are proud to welcome him to the&lt;br /&gt;
    Legendary Staff, and are assured that he will do us proud should we ever&lt;br /&gt;
    need representation in an onion eating contest or desperately desire a&lt;br /&gt;
    Friends' haircut.&lt;br /&gt;

      &lt;br /&gt;
- PETAL!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    I am a recant graduate of the University of Canberra (Australia) and have&lt;br /&gt;
    studied such eclectic courses as Journalism, Japanese, Philosophy and&lt;br /&gt;
    Pure Mathematics. It was through my studies of the Japanese language that&lt;br /&gt;
    I was given the opportunity to work in a ski resort in Nagano, about 5&lt;br /&gt;
    hours drive from Tokyo (and the site of the next winter Olympics). I&lt;br /&gt;
    decided to study Japanese because of my fascination with the history and&lt;br /&gt;
    culture of the Asia/South Pacific region. At present I am looking for a&lt;br /&gt;
    job as a foreign correspondent for an Australian newspaper somewhere in&lt;br /&gt;
    Asia. Briefly, my other interests include: golf, soccer, skiing, playing&lt;br /&gt;
    guitar, traditional Israeli dancing, puppetry and politics. My major&lt;br /&gt;
    ambition in life is to follow in the footsteps of all my favorite authors&lt;br /&gt;
    and retire to upstate New York with my three cats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- PARTICLEMAN!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Hi I'm ParticleMan, one of PR's newest immorts. I have been playing on&lt;br /&gt;
    Legend for about 2 years now. I'll be starting up a new version of&lt;br /&gt;
    Scavenger Hunt here in the near future. In RL I am in the Navy as a&lt;br /&gt;
    Corpsman (i.e. a medic) stationed with the Marines in North Carolina. I've&lt;br /&gt;
    been in the Navy for 11 years now. I am looking forward to working with&lt;br /&gt;
    all the players on Legend, and if you have an idea for a game or any other&lt;br /&gt;
    ideas, feel free to drop me a mudmail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- CROAKER!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    In RL Croaker is known as Jon McCullers, a Pediatric Infectious Disease&lt;br /&gt;
    fellow at the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.&lt;br /&gt;
     His interests (apart from Legend), include sci-fi/fantasy reading, blues&lt;br /&gt;
    piano, and sports of all descriptions. His research interests involve&lt;br /&gt;
    working on a novel type of vaccine to influenza using gene therapy&lt;br /&gt;
    technology. Croaker has a wife (who also muds), 2 children, 3 cats, a dog,&lt;br /&gt;
    and a messy house. He is an avid gamesplayer, and runs regular trivia&lt;br /&gt;
    contests on the mud. The inspiration for his name comes from the Black&lt;br /&gt;
    Company series by Glen Cook, which you should all go out and buy this&lt;br /&gt;
    instant.&lt;br /&gt;

- AERMID!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    I stumbled across LegendMud about a year ago, while wandering aimlessly&lt;br /&gt;
    through the mudconnector. I spent my first several weeks dying to sheep&lt;br /&gt;
    (bleah) till I finally got the hang of things, and have been here ever&lt;br /&gt;
    since. I work a mindnumbingly boring &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; job, till some brilliant&lt;br /&gt;
    editor decides to pay me for my writing. I immorted into Administration&lt;br /&gt;
    with the hopes of giving something back to Legend and hopefully make it a&lt;br /&gt;
    better mud. Oh yeah...and for the freedom to flop at will *wink*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- GOVAN!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    I have played Legend for almost 1 year and have very rarely met a person I&lt;br /&gt;
    disliked. I am addicted to snowboarding and mountain climbing, play on a&lt;br /&gt;
    football and basketball team when the season allows, and have been&lt;br /&gt;
    training in Karate for over 4 years. Other hobbies I enjoy are painting&lt;br /&gt;
    and reading and do those as often as possible. It is with a great deal of&lt;br /&gt;
    excitement and determination that I start my job on the Administration&lt;br /&gt;
    Staff. I am eager to utilize every resource I have to help this Mud and&lt;br /&gt;
    the players on it flourish. If you ever have any comments on how I perform&lt;br /&gt;
    my job, please feel free to mudmail me&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- SOLOMON!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Solomon moved to Baltimore, Maryland in the spring of 1990 from&lt;br /&gt;
    Jacksonville, Florida, where he had spent most of his life. He was&lt;br /&gt;
    introduced to square dancing a few weeks later and has enjoyed this hobby&lt;br /&gt;
    ever since. He travels to other cities for square dance weekends and&lt;br /&gt;
    annual conventions regularly (in fact, his club is hoping to sponsor a&lt;br /&gt;
    convention in Baltimore for 2000).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    When moving to Baltimore, he took work as a temp, where he worked for one&lt;br /&gt;
    company for three days, and another for three months. At that time, the&lt;br /&gt;
    first company called him up and offered him a job. Solomon has worked for&lt;br /&gt;
    that company ever since, and has become the office resource for all&lt;br /&gt;
    computers, software, printers, network, and network services. The company&lt;br /&gt;
    is only about 20 people, so it is nice that they can afford such a luxury&lt;br /&gt;
    as a full-time computer support tech. (Solomon thinks he is a necessity,&lt;br /&gt;
    of course.)&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    Solomon's first mud was Crystal Shard, which he now realizes was mostly a&lt;br /&gt;
    StockMUD, but he loved it just the same. (Especially the shape change!)&lt;br /&gt;
    When it went down, he looked on a mud list and picked Legend quite at&lt;br /&gt;
    random, and never found another mud he liked at all. He has been a player&lt;br /&gt;
    at Legend since about October, 1994, since he clearly remembers San&lt;br /&gt;
    Francisco going in.&lt;br /&gt;
                   &lt;br /&gt;

                             LegendMEET Update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Ptah and Kaige:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    We've got two days and surely we want to do more than just hang out. Long&lt;br /&gt;
    ago we promised you a barbecue, and I think we can still manage that. We&lt;br /&gt;
    can also probably manage gatherings to go see downtown Austin and 6th&lt;br /&gt;
    street, some of the Hill Country around town, and maybe even troop thru&lt;br /&gt;
    Origin if you are curious. Another possibility is a concert, if you are&lt;br /&gt;
    willing to put up with Rufus and Ptah's playing ;) --though it is possible&lt;br /&gt;
    that we could get some musician friends of theirs to play too, in a jam&lt;br /&gt;
    session sort of thing at the bbq. Lastly, if people are willing to put in&lt;br /&gt;
    additional funds once they get to Austin, there's also laser tag-- think&lt;br /&gt;
    basically live recall tag with laser guns--that might be fun for the more&lt;br /&gt;
    athletic among you. :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Any other ideas for events during the meet as welcome. But a note! If&lt;br /&gt;
    there are to be events of any sort, WE NEED TO KNOW WHO IS COMING so that&lt;br /&gt;
    we can make plans on how many to accommodate. PLEASE mudmail Ptah if you&lt;br /&gt;
    are planning on attending LegendMeet, imm or player.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
    Top Seven Signs you are addicted to LegendMUD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        7. You use the word EMOTE in everyday language&lt;br /&gt;
        6. You refer to your parents as MOBs&lt;br /&gt;
        5. You have no idea what most of your friends look like, because&lt;br /&gt;
           you haven't really met them&lt;br /&gt;
        4. You use smiley faces on term papers&lt;br /&gt;
        3. You crave walking into a parliamentary meeting with a clapper&lt;br /&gt;
        2. You pick up your cat, whack somebody with it, and expect&lt;br /&gt;
           then to look dumber&lt;br /&gt;
        1. Your answering machine message is &amp;quot;Hi, Sorry we're AFK at&lt;br /&gt;
           the moment, but leave a tell after the beep, and we'll tell&lt;br /&gt;
           you back..&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Sorry, these are my symptoms.. thought I'd share them with y'all)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Cheers,&lt;br /&gt;
            - Fenris&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    And don't forget using socials in everyday language (kinda like saying&lt;br /&gt;
    emote) such as saying blush or smile or whap :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
            - Celebrindal&lt;br /&gt;
        &lt;br /&gt;
    Don't forget:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        *Writing* to friends with *'s to emphasize or cackling every now and&lt;br /&gt;
         then&lt;br /&gt;
        Poking/tugging people's sleeves&lt;br /&gt;
        Not knowing when you are hungry because it ain't displayed on your&lt;br /&gt;
         screen&lt;br /&gt;
        Trying to use 'hunt' to locate your GF or the administration building,&lt;br /&gt;
        Looking for exits labeled N S W E &lt;br /&gt;
        Thinking you should get xp for walking into someplace new, and finally&lt;br /&gt;
        Dropping a penny here and there so you can map your way back :/ &lt;br /&gt;

                             Scavenger Hunt Results&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Saturday, March 1, Spencer held a Scavenger Hunt, and seven teams registered&lt;br /&gt;
to participate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Team HMS Beagle was composed of Mice, Armand and Kyla&lt;br /&gt;
    Team McDougan was represented by their clan leader, Hastur and XXX.&lt;br /&gt;
    Tyche, Faramir and Rummy formed Team TMR&lt;br /&gt;
    Team Oldie had Landy, Fighter and Envy&lt;br /&gt;
    Team The Movers and The Shakers was formed by Dial, Belmat and Kai.  &lt;br /&gt;
    Team No-Name consisted of Swatch, Myriad and Densiva. &lt;br /&gt;
    The final team was the Warriors - Maros, Siachet and WhiteRose.&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
The object of the hunt was to be the first team to obtain all the items on a&lt;br /&gt;
list that Spencer mailed. The items came from across the mud, but from newbie&lt;br /&gt;
safe areas. It was possible to buy the items with a newbie's starting amount&lt;br /&gt;
of gold, or to get them for free. All participants were required to create a&lt;br /&gt;
newbie character for the hunt, since the object was to test knowledge, not&lt;br /&gt;
abilities. It was allowed for characters to gain skills, spells or non-hunt&lt;br /&gt;
items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teams met in the OOC Auditorium for final instructions. As is typical with&lt;br /&gt;
such get-togethers on Legend, it quickly turned into a spam session, with&lt;br /&gt;
questions, comments and emotes flying everywhere. The first problem hit once&lt;br /&gt;
the starting gun sounded. For an unknown reason, the lists could not be mailed&lt;br /&gt;
to certain chars because they were being shown as nonexistent. While efforts&lt;br /&gt;
were made to correct the problem, the list was slowly handed out to the&lt;br /&gt;
players who hadn't received it in the mail. However, since all players were&lt;br /&gt;
handicapped by the same limited movement, Spencer felt that the delay was of&lt;br /&gt;
minor consequence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the teams ran about the Mud, madly searching for the list items, Spencer&lt;br /&gt;
and Joule periodically checked on them. In about an hour the teams all had&lt;br /&gt;
more than half the 19 items on the list. During the course of the game, one&lt;br /&gt;
team dropped out. At the two-hour mark things started to get tight. Teams&lt;br /&gt;
No-Name, Movers and Shakers and TMR were real close to having all the items,&lt;br /&gt;
with Team Warrior hot on their heels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first team to return to the Auditorium was Team Movers and Shakers, and at&lt;br /&gt;
that point the game was ended. All teams returned to OOC and the job of&lt;br /&gt;
determining second and third place began. One item separated Team No-Names&lt;br /&gt;
from Team TMR and they placed Second and Third, respectively. Team Warrior&lt;br /&gt;
receives an Honorable Mention for their fine effort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prizes awarded were a one-color string coupon to the char of choice for&lt;br /&gt;
each First Place team member, a non-color string coupon to the char of choice&lt;br /&gt;
for each Second Place team member, and cookies to each player on the Third&lt;br /&gt;
Place team member. Spencer would like to thank all the participants of the&lt;br /&gt;
hunt and the Imms who assisted him, especially Joule. If you enjoyed this hunt&lt;br /&gt;
and would like to see it run again, please mud-mail him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that some of our higher levels have had a chance to refresh themselves&lt;br /&gt;
with the memory of what being a newbie is like, I hope folks will have a bit&lt;br /&gt;
more appreciation of what they must go thru to advance. Newbie movement, as&lt;br /&gt;
all will agree, sucks.  But you must learn to walk before you can run. I hope&lt;br /&gt;
those who can help newbies with refresh spells or potions, or fly spells and&lt;br /&gt;
potion, will remember this experience. To those of you who already do such&lt;br /&gt;
nice things to help our newbies, this is one reason they ask. I thank you all&lt;br /&gt;
- for being here, for helping others, for participating in Legend's various&lt;br /&gt;
activities, ..... well, for doing all the things that make Legend such a great&lt;br /&gt;
place to spend time.&lt;br /&gt;
    - Spencer&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Are you a non-clanned rp character tired of all the goodness and tree hugging?&lt;br /&gt;
The forming of a secretive and insidious cult is now taking place that will&lt;br /&gt;
promote a collective evil and fill the much needed non-clanned rp void for a&lt;br /&gt;
evil clan. We implore you to consider taking up the challenge to create this&lt;br /&gt;
cult. We are in the creation process so we need assistance in ideas, and plot&lt;br /&gt;
ideas that you may have, and if you're a good rp clan and you want someone to&lt;br /&gt;
hate be sure to look us up. *grin*  Please mudmail myself in the meantime as&lt;br /&gt;
we organize this effort for ideas, or to join.  Thanks for your time. Oh and&lt;br /&gt;
by the way, this won't be your typical evil rp clan. We're planning ideas and&lt;br /&gt;
plots that will make us different from just being ordinarily evil.  The&lt;br /&gt;
Illuminati is along the lines of what our cult is going to be about.&lt;br /&gt;

                         &lt;br /&gt;
Clan Angesley is a clan run by and for those who are devoted to healing and&lt;br /&gt;
helping others. Anyone interested in applying for apprenticeship to the clan,&lt;br /&gt;
should mudmail Istishia, and send their email addresses to Sharri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clan Angesley, the RP Clan dedicated to fellowship and respect for Nature and&lt;br /&gt;
the balance of Life, held a tournament Friday (3/14) night to reward the&lt;br /&gt;
member who most displayed the qualities they strive for, namely helpfulness,&lt;br /&gt;
respect for Mother Earth, and goodwill toward all creatures. Rusalka handed out&lt;br /&gt;
tokens from 8PM EST (5PM Pacific) until midnight and players rewarded these&lt;br /&gt;
tokens to the person with [Angesley] in their title that they believed&lt;br /&gt;
deserved it. A prize was awarded to the most helpful Clan Member, Somar. Watch&lt;br /&gt;
this space for more details on the contest itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to everyone who helped make the contest a resounding success! Special&lt;br /&gt;
thanks to Rusalka, Sabella and Sharri :) I received many positive comments&lt;br /&gt;
regarding the leaf game, and I'm hoping to try it again sometime. For those of&lt;br /&gt;
you who have game or rp ideas related to the values promoted by Clan Angesley,&lt;br /&gt;
please mudmail me! And to all of you out there who wish to see more games like&lt;br /&gt;
the one on Friday, please collect eq, cash, coupons, etc. which you are&lt;br /&gt;
willing to donate as prizes. Oh, and speaking of which, a HUGE thank you to&lt;br /&gt;
Bronwyn for donating last night's first prize!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Go in peace and happy tree hugging,&lt;br /&gt;

           News and Information regarding the people of our world&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Alistaire Crowley, the Archdruid of Lohr has been honored with the&lt;br /&gt;
    position of Grand Advisor to the Council of Angesley, a new group that is&lt;br /&gt;
    currently sweeping Legend. Look for more information on Angesley below.&lt;br /&gt;
    Meanwhile you may notice Alistaire meditating upon his next prophecy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                *************&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Everyone offer Myriad congratulations on her birthday, March 26.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                *************&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    A little bluebird recently told us that Tancred managed to be THE&lt;br /&gt;
    participant in a trivia game and was disqualified for *not* drinking. We&lt;br /&gt;
    hope someone checks with him for the details on this interesting&lt;br /&gt;
    circumstance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                *************&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Lethargio the tired journeyman must have acquired some energy as he&lt;br /&gt;
    finally decided to get a job. He seems to have convinced the American Red&lt;br /&gt;
    Cross that his Legendary medical skills will be of use to them. So far as&lt;br /&gt;
    we know, he is the first Red Cross Member to grace the land of Legend, but&lt;br /&gt;
    hopefully will not be the last.&lt;br /&gt;
        &lt;br /&gt;
                                *************&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Sadly, Legendites (like those in the rest of the universe) sometimes find&lt;br /&gt;
    that they have made a mistake in their choice of life partners. T'Aleydras&lt;br /&gt;
    and Huma recently announced their divorce due to irreconcilable&lt;br /&gt;
    differences. Alaina and Kendrik have also parted ways. We wish all four&lt;br /&gt;
    the best of luck in whatever their lives may bring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                *************&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    Amidst many sad farewells, Hastur announced his temporary departure&lt;br /&gt;
    from Legend:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Alas, I must go the way of disco... to leave for a while then&lt;br /&gt;
        mysteriously pop back up again. As of this Sunday I will be&lt;br /&gt;
        leaving Legend temporarily, to pursue the lovely job market.&lt;br /&gt;
        Until i can get my account back up and running, I will also have&lt;br /&gt;
        my e-mail down. between now and then. I will try to be on as much&lt;br /&gt;
        as possible, little that it is. remember me close in your hearts,&lt;br /&gt;
        for i shall return!&lt;br /&gt;

    Sinbad and Alaina happily announce their intended wedding, Saturday&lt;br /&gt;
    (3/15). The ceremony will take place in A Quiet Garden in Salem at 10 pm&lt;br /&gt;
    eastern time. Everyone is invited to come and share this joyful occasion.&lt;br /&gt;

                                  by&lt;br /&gt;
                      CLeo of the Circle of Angels&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hello and welcome to this third edition of &amp;quot;Who's This?&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
This month, I asked Asfw these questions...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLeo - 'If you could build your own home, what would it be like?'&lt;br /&gt;
Asfw - 'By an oasis, in the middle of a desert, a two-story mansion full of&lt;br /&gt;
        high-tech stuff.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLeo - 'Tell us about one of the most embarrassing moments you ever had.'&lt;br /&gt;
Asfw - 'I fell into a pond once when i was a kid and when I stood up my&lt;br /&gt;
        pants were under water, and my classmates stood around staring.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLeo - 'What is your favorite color?'&lt;br /&gt;
Asfw - 'Blue.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLeo - 'If your mind could take you on a real trip, where would you go?'&lt;br /&gt;
Asfw - 'I'm not very familiar with the mythologies on which the mud is based,&lt;br /&gt;
        but ever since i started playing I've learned a few things.&lt;br /&gt;
        And the ones I'm most interested in are hell and shadowlands. but&lt;br /&gt;
        if i were to pick one i think I'd go to Dante's Inferno...'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLeo - 'What is your favorite type of music?'&lt;br /&gt;
Asfw - 'In the classical genre, the romantic period.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLeo - 'One day, you notice that your watch can take you anywhere in time.&lt;br /&gt;
        Which time would you go to?'&lt;br /&gt;
Asfw - 'To ancient China so that I can check out all the martial arts stuff&lt;br /&gt;
        that will be going to be added to the mud shortly...'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLeo - 'Someone asks you to create a new word to put in the dictionary.&lt;br /&gt;
        What would it be and what would it mean?'&lt;br /&gt;
Asfw - 'Word: asfuanity&lt;br /&gt;
        Meaning: attainable state of near perfection yet not necessarily&lt;br /&gt;
        flawless, the closest a person or an object may get to perfection.&lt;br /&gt;
        Related: asfuane (adj.)'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLeo - 'If you were a kitchen appliance, what would it be?'&lt;br /&gt;
Asfw - 'The knife so i can chop people up... And make them bleed! &amp;gt;:)=&lt;br /&gt;
        And well, vegetables and other stuff too... :)'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLeo - 'What is your favorite meal?'&lt;br /&gt;
Asfw - 'Well, besides those leaves and worms and berries and occasionally&lt;br /&gt;
        roots, i like the Chinese dumplings a lot.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLeo - 'What animal compares best to your character?'&lt;br /&gt;
Asfw - 'The turtle :P because I'm so slow and lazy... But i CAN be persistent &lt;br /&gt;
        in my work...'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

                       The Dark Lord's Unusual Request&lt;br /&gt;
                          &lt;br /&gt;
Ever since I was a child, my heart has been filled with hatred and evil. My&lt;br /&gt;
parents abandoned me at an early age and left me to fend for myself, I grew up&lt;br /&gt;
in the cold, unforgiving streets and have fought for everything I own. I first&lt;br /&gt;
met the Dark Lord when I was fourteen, and from that moment on my loyalty,&lt;br /&gt;
soul, and body became His. In His hatred and evil I found a home and among His&lt;br /&gt;
followers I found a family. I joined the AntiPaladins and fought for them&lt;br /&gt;
under the leadership of Crash and Lagmonster, and eventually became the&lt;br /&gt;
Guildmaster of the AntiPaladins and leader of my brothers and sisters. I have&lt;br /&gt;
acted as leader of the AntiPaladins for a long period of time, all the while&lt;br /&gt;
doing my best to bring glory to the Dark Lord.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My life is now a lot more complicated than it once was. I will soon marry&lt;br /&gt;
Point, a strong, evil man and settle down to family life. The Dark Lord has&lt;br /&gt;
asked me to step down from my position as Guildmaster so that I may spend more&lt;br /&gt;
time with Point, a very strange action which I suspect might be the result of&lt;br /&gt;
Point's prospective usefulness to Him. So it is with a both a sigh of sadness&lt;br /&gt;
and relief that I, Envy, hand over my title as Guildmaster of the AntiPaladins&lt;br /&gt;
to Lagmonster, under who's leadership I am sure we will all prosper. May the&lt;br /&gt;
Dark Lord bless our journeys and strike down our enemies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
