  I hope that everyone is having a happy and safe Holiday Season!

Apologies for not getting an issue out for a while again. It's been a
crazy month here and other than the news that's available in game 
there haven't been many submissions.

Just a reminder that on next Saturday (Jan 1st), the monthly purge
scripts will be turned back on and begin moving playerfiles from the
active directory to the purged directories. It is ALWAYS safer to
archive your characters if you are going to be gone for a period of
time. While we do our best to keep the purged backups as long as
possible, there is no guarantee that a character that has been purged
can be retrieved, especially if someone has made a new character with
the same name in the meantime.
 
The characters that would have been purged on Dec. 1 are still
available on the web at this link.
 
Likewise, the purge scripts will have consequences for clans with
members that have not logged on recently as well. The following clans
are in danger of falling to or below the minimum number of members
with next week's purge:
 
  The Church of Epicurean Enlightenment  New Player Helpers
  Union of Protagonists                  The Dark Necromancers Society
  Fields of Albion                       Knights of the Temple
  IRA                                    Avengers
  Knights of Legend                      The Hermetic Order
  The Grand Coven
 
There are also several clans that will change GMships with the purge
unless the current GMs log in before then. If the GM is purged,
pledges revert to your own character and the first member with the
most pledges is automatically named GM.

Have a great week and please take a few minutes to cast your votes
for LegendMUD at TopMudSites.com and MudConnector.com.

      .-" +' "-.      During the past month, nearly all of the areas
     /.'.'A_'*`.\     have gotten a bit of polish and many have had
    |:.*'/\-\. ':|    some obscure and difficult to see syntax bugs
    |:.'.||"|.'*:|    in the file fixed as new code has come in that

      /`-....-'\      
      /          \    What this means is that some things that hadn't
     `-.,____,.-'     been working as the builders had expected them
                      to, suddenly are. We've tried to point out the
"gotchas" that might arise from this, but a good many of these fixes
should be completely transparent to the players.

If you notice something that isn't behaving quite the way it should,
please drop a note about it in the bug file. It is most helpful if
you fully describe the problem you experience and you can submit as
many reports as it takes to describe the problem. Also, when you
submit a typo report, please indicate WHERE you think the typo is --
it's not always obvious, which is probably why it is wrong anyway.

Players often find themselves in trouble for different reasons. To
try and keep that from happening the Admin Department would like to
point out rule #13 in HELP RULES.

    13. There are also several rules that we have cataloged under
        'etiquette.' Violations of these rules may not necessarily
        call for character deletion, but repeated violations may call
        for one of the lesser penalties listed above. Adherence to
        them will help to ease your relationships with other players
        on LegendMUD. (See HELP ETIQUETTE).

Society has many, often unspoken, rules of conduct that it relies upon
for smooth operations. Newcomers to mudding are often unaware of mud
etiquette and oldbies often forget they were once clueless newbies
too. Be polite and people will generally be polite in response.

               'Til Death Do Us Part - A Game for Couples
                       ran by Darktalon and Lenore

The "'Til Death Do Us Part" game took place on Sunday, Dec 5th. The
game essentially was "The Newly-wed Game" with a LegendMUD twist.
Couples were split up and put into two isolation booths, one called
"Dark" and the other called "Dead". They were asked questions about
the person in either the "Dark" or the "Dead" room, and both would
answer at the same time to see if their answers would match, and
therefore how well their knew each other and their relationship.
Matching answers got a point. The game was split into three rounds of
ten questions each.

Four couples participated, Team Honeybadger: Snoogle and Major
Static, Team Pimps-a-lot: Horror and Mercedes, Team Vulcan Ears:
Kastina and Spanish-Flea and Team Buttercup: Kayla and Haplo.

Some sample questions/answers were:

Your relationship is most like: a) Karin and Erich (meant to be), b)
Allan-a-dale and Fennel (star-crossed), c) Scheherezade and Sultan
(submissive), or d) old husband and wife in Orkney (ball and
chain-like)

     Snoggle: b; Major Static: b
     Horror: d; Mercedes: c
     Kastina: oh my c, hahahaha; Spanish-Flea: submissive! hahaha, c
     Kayla: a; Haplo: karin and erich, a

If Dark was a mob, how tough would they be: a) the tarasque, b) a
muscular guard, c) a country squire, or d) field mouse?

     Snoggle: a; Major Static: taraaque or a... cuz i cant spell
     Horror: b; Mercedes: D
     Kastina: he's my guard; Spanish-Flea: b
     Kayla: a; Haplo: tarasasque

If your physical relationship were a drink, would it be: a) mug of
firebreather! b) skin of mead c) leather waterskin, d) mug of milk,
or e) puddle that smells like eggs

     Snoggle: b; Major Static: b
     Horror: e; Mercedes: a
     Kastina: b; Spanish-Flea: skinny of mead, b
     Kayla: a; Haplo: a, mug of firebreather

All the questions and answers can be found at:
             http://www.swankme.com/ooky/tildeathdouspart.

The updated scores: Team Pimps-a-lot, Horror and Mercedes, came in
4th with 13 points and won his and hers "boobie" prizes, red swimming
trunks and one-piece swimsuit. Team Buttercup, Kayla and Haplo, came
in 3rd with 14 points and won a bronze trophy of intertwined hearts
and his and hers pink prize tokens. Team Vulcan Ears, Kastina and
Spanish-Flea, came in 2nd with 21 points and won a silver trophy of
intertwined hearts and his and hers half-string coupons. Team
Honeybadger, Snoogle and Major Static, came in 1st with 27 points and
won a golden trophy of intertwined hearts and his and his non-string
coupons, these two men know each other better than any two men I've
ever known...give them a round of applause!

Of course a game of 'Til Death Do Us Part wouldn't be complete
without some dying. PK broke out between several individuals/couples
and resulted in Mercedes helping Dalia kick the bucket (and she was
just watching the game!) and Mercedes exploring the netherworld a
little early thanks to Spanish-Flea.

Perhaps one of the most touching moments happened at the end of the
game between Spanish-Flea and Kastina. 'And now to show that I love
Kastina more than you love any of your partners,' Spanish-Flea said
stupidly and then he gave his half-string coupon to Kastina (before
she could steal it). Kastina snuggled up to the silver trophy of
intertwined hearts (you've heard of strange bedfellows, but REALLY!)
as Spanish-Flea grovelled before her and said 'So in the end, we're
the bestest couple.' Awwwwwww.

Special thanks to LadyAce for letting us use her isolation booths and
helping us set up the game. Thanks for playing everyone! We hoped you
enjoyed it.

                Underworld Celebrates 1st Anniversary

The Underworld celebrated its first anniversary of forming on
December 1st. The clan started out as an RP clan, changing over to a
PK clan on March 3rd, 2004.

The clan's stated purpose is to kill everyone and those interested in
joining or negotiating details of a clan war should contact Trousers
for more information. You can also visit: http://underworld.aowc.net.

             =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

There are currently 20 RP clans and 3 PK clans. This leaves open
slots for nine (9) more clans to form. For more information, read
HELP CLAN and see the clan information list via the CLANS command
while logged into the game. For a basic handbook and reference guide
for players interested in starting and running a clan, we recommend
that before you even type FORM, you visit:

                   Minotaur's Rampage Begins

As i Walked through the Valley Of Fire and Flame i realized I wanted
more. More than just this life of Death and Horror. I went to the
elders of Hell and told them I need to leave -- I needed to go to
earth -- to Destroy and make a name for myself on Earth. I dreamed
about the evil and terrible things I could unleash unto the world and
basked in my own glory and wonder. I knew what I had to do when I
arrived there.

I got word from the Dark Prince himself allowing me to go out onto
the world and bring chaos to all who seek the rules of the Heaven to
be in place. To destroy all who had the will to serve Life and to
corrupt all the souls of earth to make Hell a Powerful Underworld. I
swore to to all that I could in the name of Hell on earth, so I set
out to begin.

I went the front gates of Hell to begin my rampage. The First Thing I
came upon was a small town with innocent people. I chuckled as i saw
how weak they all were. I stood on the hilltop above the town and
drew my Great bow I had forged from the fires of hell and engraved
with the symbols of true darkness and loaded it with a arrow burning
with hell fire. I began to shoot the villagers down one by one
enjoying every moment. I could feel the souls being harvested to
enhance the essence of Hell and all its glory.

I knew that this was only the first of my Terror on earth. I was
going to Bring Hell upon earth with the might of the minotaurs and
the powers of hell behind me. When I had killed all the outside
villagers I slung my bow over my shoulder and began to walk down to
start my rampage.
