I would, however, like to announce that Dread is now the Assistant Editor of ESP! Dread rapidly outgrew his "Features Editor" title when he began doing a lot more work for ESP! which just didn't fit in with what that title infers. He has been working with the groups to get more information to share with our readers and doing many other tasks which keep him busy every day, both inworld and out. We won't tell you everything we're working on but you can be sure that Dread and I are busy behind the scenes in fulfilling our commitment to you to provide you with the best newspaper we possibly can. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Cover Story ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {!} - Grand Opening: Turfs! - {!} By Acolyte Brynne The whole town has been abuzz with the news! After a long -- and sometimes rather noisy -- wait, Turfs are finally arriving to the Island of Kymer! Not much is known yet as to the details of how one will be able to rent a turf and what the rental rates will be. But in doing some digging for this story, I've learned there will be one, two, three and four room turfs. Owners will have the ability to name their Turfs, to add co-owners to the lease, to set a minimum/maximum number of avatars and ghosts allowed in each room ... and more! Businesses and Event Hosts will be able to set up shop in Turfs and you can be sure that once the race is over, ESP! will have its own Headquarters where Dread and I can meet with potential writers and advertisers and conduct other business. Make-A-Deal (MAD) will be returning in May and great deals will be made in The MAD House! Join the Oracles outside the new Turf Building, located on Cypress Street west of the Magic Shop on Friday, April 26, at 7:00 p.m. WAT. Be among the first to own your own Dreamscape apartment! But, hey, Electra and I will be on duty when all this happens and will be busy answering your pages. So, leave a few turfs for us, okay? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Feature Stories ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {!} - Five Avatars Ordained - {!} By Acolyte Brynne In a wonderful ceremony this past Saturday evening, Oracle Uni and the Council on Marriages in Kymer ordained the following Avatars to conduct wedding ceremonies in Kymer: Arch Duckolyte Brains Bog LumMoose-Kymer Guardian Piemur Sunray Ann In her ceremony, Oracle Uni charged these Ordained Avatars to "uphold the sanctity and joy of the marriage bond" and further explained that "Marriage is not merely an event, a flirtation, a proposal, pay a few tokens, exchange heads or keys, accept gifts and move on to the next event. When you agree to join a couple in marriage, you agree to be responsible for communicating and reflecting the profundity of intimacy and cooperation." The duties of these Ordained Avatars require them "to maintain dignity and respect, to be flexbile, to set aside their own thoughts to listen; to consider a greater perspective, not only what is immediate and to model good attitude with a smile." Congratulations to these Avatars! We know you will do well in service to our community! {!} - Bog's Tavern and Grille: Just another night - {!} By Bog Bog yawns and rubs his face. As he opens the reinforced shutters and lets in the bright Kymerian sunshine, the familiar sight of total destruction greets his eyes. That crowd from the Bunker really knew how to party! It meant a total refurnishing of the bar every Saturday and Sunday morning, but the profits more than covered the damage. Bog tutts as he sees the scorch marks on the wall. Those BFG's left a heck of a burn, which were a pig to get off. He makes a mental note to (politely) ask Haplo to check it in at the bar next time; it made the strippers nervous, too. To Bog's surprise, he sees an almost serviceable chair! He pulls it upright, wipes the Wookie fur off the leg, and slumps into it. "I must be getting old" he mutters out loud. A new wave of nausea sweeps over him, and he just manages to keep his breakfast down. Last night was the loudest, wildest night he'd ever experienced ... maybe he *was* getting too old for all this. As he sits there, he casts his mind back to yesterday evening, it all started out so normal! ... The door burst open and in strode the first customer of the evening, Sparhawk. "Hiya Bog!" he bellowed, "Give me a large scotch, and not the watered down stuff either". "I don't serve anything less then high quality merchandise here" snarled Bog, carefully making sure that Sparhawk got the real stuff; the watered down hooch could be brought out later, when the customers wouldn't know or care. "So what's new barkeep?" enquired Sparhawk, the scotch disappearing down his throat. "Geez," thought Bog, "you could give this guy drainol and he wouldn't notice" but aloud to Sparhawk he replied, "Oh nothing much here, just preparing for the night ahead. What's up with you guys over in the bunker? I've seen a lot of activity over there today." Sparhawk narrowed his eyes, and lowered his voice, a pretty good trick for a unicorn. "Well", he whispered, "I shouldn't really be telling you this but, we had our first successful mission today." "Oh really?" inquired Bog. "I guess this is cause for celebration!" He stands for a moment savouring the profits coming his way tonight. "YEAHHH! sure is" roared Spar, "The team will be over real soon for some serious PARTYING!! AROOOOOOO" Ahhh this was music to Bog's ears; these guys could really spend when in the mood. A loud shriek, and the door swung open again, the boisterous crowd spilling into the bar. Yep the whole crowd was here ... time for some barkeep/customer bonding. "First rounds on me guys!" shouted Bog, reaching for the hooch, "Nothing but the best for my customers!" The answering cheers sounded like music to his ears. ...4 hours later... Bog wiped his brow, and surveyed the scene before him. Wow, it had been hectic, but now everyone seemed to be getting into a steady rhythm of ordering and drinking; the barmaids could take over now. The dull lighting and the layers of cigarette smoke made the place seem like an underground cavern, probably the reason these bunker types loved it so much! The low pounding of a bass underpinned the buzz of excited chatter. The ringing of the tills made him almost tingle, though he kept an eye on the barmaids. Magica Jan assured him they were okay, but one couldn't be too careful, especially with money. Time to do the rounds, and see who was here. Ahh there was Haplo, waving that gawdawful BFG around, a nervous looking wookie listening to his animated descriptions of past battles ... ZZZAPPP ... it fired off a round ... the noise deafening. The conversation faltered for a second. "Sorry" muttered Haplo, "It just went off; I guess I forgot to put the safety on." Bog hurried over to survey the damage ... ahh not too bad. The wookie was no more, of course, just traces of fur on the table top, and a couple of Duckolytes had been vapourised. But they weren't big spenders anyway. "No problem Hap" grinned Bog, "these things happen ... no worries ... another drink?" Over to the corner tables, the darkest and most remote area of the bar. The layers of smoke hovering above the heads of the occupants .. Ahh the intellectuals. They didn't spend much, but lent a certain air of respectability (!) to the place. As he sidled over, he caught the remnants of an, obviously passionate tirade from Mufasa. "...and I've got to lose 4 kilos; fiddlesticks!" The other occupants seemed to be listening with only one ear, their minds somewhere else. MarvL was playing idly with paint sprays, rearranging them in different orders, very odd! The Ethereal Elves were there too, of course, a grumpy looking Earendil being soothed by the ever sparkling Elwing. Bog spied the huge sword laying next to them, decided he'd better not crack any funnies tonight. "Everything all right here?" he enquired. The conversation stopped, and four pairs of eyes zeroed in on Bog. "When are we going to see some service here?" demanded Earendil," I've been waiting nearly two minutes for a drink." Boy, he was grouchy tonight. "A large bourbon over here Bobbie", Bog shouted to the bar, making the secret signal that meant "the real stuff". No need to upset any of these guys! MarvL looked intently at Bog for a moment, smiled, and went back to counting his Spraycans; what was he up to? Karyn was normally here, but not tonight; it's odd how you never saw those two together. "Have fun folks, and if you need anything, just shout". Earendil muttered something under his breath, and Elwing giggled. Bog thought better of asking what was said, and hurried away. And here was Evergreen, banging furiously on the pinball machine. "This firkin thang ain't workin", she wailed. Bog sighed. Since Evergreen had miraculously jumped from 7 years old to 18 in the space of a week, she had been running riot around Kymer. "Here, let me help", offered Bog, "you see you need to push the handle all the way down and then press the green button at the end." Evergreen stared suspiciously at him, "If'n you is taking the mickey, I'll stomp ya real good." A nervous titter, and Bog was away across the room. People were so violent these days! The large central table was surrounded by the hardcore drinking set. Astarte was there pointing at her belly button, how odd! Tonya was dabbing furiously at it with cotton wool, the expression on her face one of suppressed laughter. "Who said to use superglue?" shrieked Astarte, popping another Prozac into her mouth, "IT'S NOT FUNNY!" The half choked giggles around the table seemed to contradict her. Jaeger wasn't looking too happy though; a determined looking Aisha was bending his ear about something, and he was nodding his head dejectedly. Askani was making faces at him behind Aisha's back, but poor Jaeger was too terrified to laugh. These people were weird ... but good spenders! The excited atmosphere of the place was starting to settle down as the hardened drinkers settled in for the night, each preparing his or her own story about the "mission" they'd accomplished. The door opened slightly, and the place went deathly quiet, a communal sixth sense telling people to be alert. A crowd of small heads poked themselves around the door, smiled and opened their mouths ... "POOP" The crashing and firing of the BFG had finally died down, the noise of breaking glass and furniture had subsided. Haplo was grinning tiredly from ear to ear. The Elves were cleaning their swords, a contented look on their faces, and people were generally tending to cuts and bruises received from the incredible storm that had just erupted. Kymer was most definitely 'poopless', at least for tonight. The bar area was littered with glass, broken chairs, and a multitude of newbie heads. After a heart stopping moment checking his till, Bog climbed on top of the bar. "See you all again tomorrow night folks! Happy Hour is at 6pm" {!} - Dread's Spot - {!} NewbieNews By Dread This week the groups I came across all had one thing in common; their membership is one. By coincidence then, this week we shall hear from the smallest groups in Kymer. \\\ The Alienytes /// Contributed by Alienyte Keksi ---------------------------------------- The Alienytes seemed to have disappeared altogether from Kymer but this week, while researching groups for NewbieNews, I came across Alienyte Keski, not in the StarWay but in the Rose Garden. I had to ask him where they had all gone and Keksi explained. *All Alienytes love Kymer, but they have returned to Alpha Rho in solar system Omikron 4. I have been left behind as a magnet for stray Alienytes who wish to find their way home or enhance their lives here. *Currently, our home page on Alpha Rho helps to keep you in touch with us until our planned return to your solar system in year 8265481. The pages were designed for Netscape and MIE but we aim shortly to fully support Mosaic too and we hope to create a link that will show you our beautiful planet in all its splendor.

Keep smiling -- Dread. {!} - The Kymer Acolytes - {!} By the Oracles With the recent influx of Avatars who have found ways to give themselves the "Acolyte" title (we are working on resolving this problem), we provide this list of the *real* Acolytes: BLD Stalker Brynne Cerchen Chameleon Electra Hindemith JWFriendly Lankro Libra Lynx (CKC CCGA) Milen Mivo Moria Nicci Ravenwhyte Rosa Peace Rosaleah Sabertooth Serena Sunray Data Sunray Indigo Tulip Zippy There are several ways you can determine whether an Acolyte is real. 1. Click on the Acolyte's body and read their "Tell Me About". A real Acolyte's TMA will read: "This is an Acolyte of Morpheus ..." If you don't see this text in the TMA, you're not dealing with a *real* Acolyte. 2. Ask to see the Acolyte's red handbook. While this is not an absolute guarantee that someone carrying a handbook is a real Acolyte, since these handbooks can be stolen or accidentally given away, the chance of one of these books falling into the wrong hands is small. 3. If you have turned off your ESP, a real Acolyte can still send you ESP. While we ask that you be considerate of our Acolytes who are very busy when they are on duty, you can determine whether an Acolyte is real by turning off your ESP and then asking him or her to try to ESP you. If you are talking with an avatar who has created an unauthorized "acolyte" title, that avatar will not be able to break through your ESP block. 4. With this past week's upgrade, Acolytes are now able to deghost in a full locale, thus overriding the 6-avatar limit. If you are attempting to determine whether an Acolyte is real, this is another fool-proof way of doing so. Again, we ask that you be considerate of our busy Acolytes, but you do have the option of asking if the Acolyte has time to move to a full locale and then asking him/her to unghost. A *real* Acolyte will be able to do so with no excuses ... other than asking you to be patient while s/he answers a page. Our Acolyte staff is dedicated to helping you in whatever way they can. They work hard in Kymer to bring nothing but the best characteristics and qualities to the title of "Acolyte". We appreciate their efforts and know that you do, too. {!} - The Witching Hour - {!} By Witchy MONEY-DRAWING INCENSE This incense is useful for opening a door to money. It has gained a very good reputation in money-drawing, as it seems to work when it is used. Having used it myself when in financial need I can testify to its effectiveness. I am sure it will work as well for you, although there are no guarantees in the operation of magic. Burning this incense seems to announce to the universe that more income is needed. Mix a teaspoon of benzoin gum powder and two teaspoons of cinnamon in a mortar. Burn about a quarter teaspoon at a time on hot charcoal. Cense all the rooms of the house with the incense when you want a lift in your money supply. This incense must not be over-used, as over-use is a signal that you are unhappy with the divine supply that is being given you. The universe seems to interpret over-use as a sign of greed, and reduces rather than increases the supply. Using this incense three or four times a year is best. You should use it when you are at a low point financially, as this seems to have the best results. It will bring money in to you - don't be impatient. It is important not to wonder where the money will come from, for doing so may act to limit the amount available to you. INCENSE FOR ABUNDANCE AND PROSPERITY IN THE HOME Once you have established a good homey vibration in your house you might wish to refresh this vibration from time to time. Regularly used, say every month or so, the following incense will assist you in that effort. It has the quality of bringing abundance into your home - with a prayer of thanksgiving - it will maintain the beneficial vibrations of the home and keep prosperity flowing in. This incense has other beneficial qualities as well, in that it has a spiritualizing effect in the place where it is burned. This assists in removing negative thoughtforms and keeping the home elevated. In the mortar mix the following; 2 parts ground cinnamon 1 part nutmeg 1 part benzoin 1 part ground dried myrtle leaves Burn about an eighth of a teaspoon at a time on a hot charcoal in a censer. Carry the censer with you as you move throughout the house, allowing the fumes to reach through the entire house. The remaining incense may be stored away in a closed bottle. HOUSE BLESSING INCENSE When you move into a new house you often want it to get a "homey" feeling quickly. This incense will assist in making your house into a home. It was devised by an expert in ceremonial magic, and has been used by a number of people with success, including myself. The incense improves with age, but it should be stored in a covered bottle. Mix this incense in the mortar and form into pills about the size of a pea. 1 teaspoon powdered camphor gum 1 teaspoon powdered nutmeg 1 teaspoon powdered dried myrtle leaves. This incense may be burned in a censer, but the best way to use it to put a strong vibration in a new home is to arrange several incense burners throughout the house. Place two pea-sized lumps or about an eighth teaspoon of incense on each charcoal. Let the fumes rise and permeate the whole house until there are no more fumes rising. This takes about an hour. As the scent is a bit strong, you may wish to air out the house afterwards, but the vibration will remain in the house. A single application of this incense is sufficient. It will establish a good vibration throughout the entire house, and unless there is a traumatic upset, it will remain. HIGH SPIRIT INCENSE The name "High Spirit Incense" is frequently found on incenses sold in occult or curio shops. It is an incense which attracts higher spiritual forces, and has the effect of protecting, blessing, and generally clearing up the spiritual environment. The incense given below is not what you will find in the occult store, but is actually the incense used by spiritual practitioners. It is made from gum resins, and while it is more costly, it is also much more effective. If you are only going to work with one or two incenses this is one which you will want to keep on hand. The incense is made in the mortar and sealed in small bottles. You may burn about a quarter teaspoon at a time on charcoal. 3 teaspoons frankincense 2 teaspoons benzoin gum 1 teaspoon myrrh You may use this incense either in a fixed burner or in a censer. You may also use this incense in a fumigation, especially following a cleansing bath. RITUAL INCENSE Your most important incense is the ritual incense used to cense an area used for ritual purposes. The following is my own blend, which serves well for most work. Specific rituals call for specific incenses, and in some cases this incense will not do at all. However, you will find that it will serve for the most simple ritual work. The incense will not only cleanse an area, but it will also bring in the vibrations required for most work. Mix the following gum resins either by weight or by volume. A tablespoon may be crushed in the mortar for use as required. Be sure to label the container and date it so you remember when you prepared it. 51% frankincense 20% myrrh 20% benzoin 9% copal The incense may either be used on the altar or in a censer. It is also useful for fumigations and for censing in spiritual cleansings. MAKING A SIMPLE INCENSE BURNER AND CENSER You can make an incense burner from an old catfood or tunafish can and a saucer. Place an overturned can on the saucer and put a self-lighting charcoal on top. Light the edge of the self-lighting charcoal with a match and allow the flame to travel across the surface of the charcoal. This is accomplished with a lot of popping and sparking. Once the charcoal is lit all across its top surface, the sparking will stop. You may now add incense to the hot charcoal about a quarter teaspoon at a time. If you wish to do so you can always add more incense to the charcoal after the first batch has gone out. Once you have experimented with burning incense you may want to try using a censer. A censer is simply an incense burner which is swung by hand. Using a censer will allow you to apply incense throughout your entire living quarters using only one charcoal, for you can carry the incense with you as you apply it throughout your home. You can make a censer from another catfood can and three small pieces of chain. Place some sand in the bottom of the can and a self-lighting charcoal on top. Light the charcoal, and once the sparking has stopped you can put some incense on it. Then pick up the censer by the chain end and swing it gently as you slowly walk through your home. Once you have tried this method you will be surprised how easy it is to do. Starting next week, I will begin a series of water spells for magical use. These will include different herbal teas to drink, to making baths. Blessed * Be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Y para todos los romanticos les traigo un poema de mi propia creacion: \\\ Mujer latina /// Escribo estas lineas pensando en mi amor la mujer de mi vida que eres tu, mujer latina porque aunque escribir esto me llena de rubor no es mas que la alegria que siento cuando me miras. Eres como una flor bella en todo su esplendor y nada deleita mas mi olfato que llenarme de tu olor. Tu cabello enmarca la belleza de tus facciones y si algun dia te hiciera dano me echaria a los leones. El solo ver la silueta de tu cuerpo activa mis sentidos pues despierta en mi deseos como nunca antes habia tenido. Eres tan encantadora que con cualquier vestimenta te vez exquisita pues tienes tantos encantos naturales y una pureza que nadie te quita. El mirar de tus ojos perfectos que perpetuan tu mirada coqueta engendra en mi tantos sentimientos que no podria escribirlos todos en una libreta. No hay manjar en el mundo con mejor sabor que tus besos y tus labios carnosos me dejan todo tieso. El acariciar de tus manos solo se compara con la brisa y no hay mayor placer que deleitarme con tu sonrisa. El sentir tu amor me hace sentir dueno del mundo pues tu pasión aviva la llama de este amor fecundo. Eres un ser hermoso y en verdad que vales mucho por eso ante cualquier cosa, por conservarte yo lucho. Porque tienes tantas encantadoras cualidades tanto fisicas e intelectuales como sentimentales que cuando pienso en los momentos que paso a tu lado realizo que tu eras con quien yo habia sonado. El estar contigo ha sido tan hermoso que por primera vez en el amor me siento airoso porque cada momento lo haces tan precioso y sentir tu amor es algo tan primoroso que el conquistarte ha sido realmente grandioso. {!} - Tage des Donners - {!} By von Zooey Hallo, Leute. Es ist schoen, wieder hier zu sein. Zwei Tage in einem Paralleluniversum, Orientierungslos, ohne Gefuehl fuer Zeit und Raum. Kein Koerper, keine Anzeichen irgendwelcher Materie - allein mit meinen Gedanken. Halloo! Hoert mich hier jemand? Wo bin ich? Was ist passiert? Werde ich jemals wieder in meine Heimat Kymer zurueckkehren koennen? Ihr wisst, wovon ich rede: Der grosse Crash, the Big Bang, das Chaos. Es ist Sonntag, tief in der Nacht (zumindest auf dieser Seite des Planeten). Phantasus - eine Geisterstadt. Leere Locales - und doch sind sie voller Avatars. Ihre Namen erscheinen in der Statusanzeige, sie existieren, sind aber zugleich in eine andere Dimension verschwunden. Schliesslich schaffst Du es, irgendwo zu deghosten, wendest dich nach links - und auch du wirst fortgerissen. Riesen-Aufregung im Forum. Sekuendlich trefen hier die koerperlosen Wesen ein, ihe Geister rufen um Hilfe, klagen an. Das Rettungsteam steht auf verlorenem Posten, findet kaum noch Gehoer, kann die aufgebrachte Meute nicht mehr beruhigen. Doch ploetzlich schlaegt die Stimmung um, die Gruppe wird geloester, scherzt, stellt Mutmassungen darueber an, was ihre Koerper mit der unverhofften Freiheit alles anstellen werden. Das Ganze wird zu einem Happening - sogar eine Whiskeyflasche macht die Runde (wobei ich mich frage: Wie konnte diese Materie erhalten bleiben? Faellt wahrscheinlich unter die Rubrik *geistige Getraenke*, hehe.) Wahrscheinlich hatte sich hinter den Kulissen etwa folgendes abgespielt: C: "Was ist los, Lieutenant?" L: "Ich glaube, wir haben da ein Problem mit dem Transporter, Captain!" C: "Was fuer ein Problem?" L: "Das Traegersignal. Es wird immer schwaecher. Ich verliere sie." C: "Versuchen sie's mit einer Phasenkorrektur!" L: "Negativ, Sir." C: "Wie viele Leute sind noch auf der Oberflaeche?" L: "128, Captain. Die Sensoren melden, dass sie sich noch in der Stadt befinden, aber... unsere Scanner koennen dort keinerlei Lebenszeichen orten." C: "Koennen wir ein Aussenteam hinunterbeamen?" L: "Zu gefaehrlich, Sir. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass wir auch sie verlieren, ist zu gross." C: "Koennen Sie wenigstens ihre Matrix so lange stabilisieren, bis... wir eine Loesung gefunden haben?" L: "Ich werde mein Bestes tun, Captain. Wenn der Maschinenraum mir... Zusatzenergie bereitstellt, koennte es klappen." Wie wir inzwischen wissen, hat der Transporterchef ganze Arbeit geleistet - alle haben ueberlebt und konnten gerettet werden - keine Verletzungen, bis auf diese tierischen Kopfschmerzen nach der Rematerialisierung. Auch der technische Fehler ist behoben worden - eine defekte Plasmaleitung und eine Phaseninduktionsspule wurden ausgetauscht. Alle Systeme arbeiten wieder innerhalb normaler Parameter. Aber halt - es ist ja in der vergangenen Woche noch viel mehr passiert. Die WA-Software Version 1.1 ist erschienen - hat nicht nur den Vorteil, dass auf Kymer ploetzlich die Entdeckung der Langsamkeit festzustellen ist und alles sehr viel gemaechlicher ablaeuft, nein: auch das ESPing funktioniert nur noch in 50 Prozent der Faelle, was wiederum weniger Stress fuer jeden Einzelnen von uns bedeutet. Und kaum hat man sich wieder einigermassen auf dem Boden der Tatsachen (soweit man in Phantasus von Tatsachen sprechen kann) zurechtgefunden, kommt schon die naechste Ueberraschung: ein Ressourcen-Update. Fast 1 MB neuer oder korrigierter Files, waehrend der 15minuetigen Uebertragung male ich mir schon aus, was sich alles veraendert haben koennte. Ist der Eingang zum Dschungel endlich auf? Kann man ein wenig in der Kymer-Bibliothek stoebern? Ist der Schnee im Meditation Park geschmolzen? Oder (welch wagemutige Spekulation) sollten gar die Turfs schon bereitstehen? Der eilige Rundgang durch die Stadt endet mit einer grossen Enttaeuschung. Nichts hat sich veraendert. Das heisst - ein paar Neuerungen hat es schon gegeben. Zum Beispiel bin ich jetzt nicht mehr laenger *fit as a fiddle* und erhalte auf die Frage *Where is everybody* die ueberaus interessante Auskunft: Entweder nicht inworld oder in der Wohnung verschwunden. Zumindest eines ist aber doch verbessert worden - um Items in einer Kiste unterzubringen, muss man sie nicht mehr aus der Tasche holen. Schade nur, dass diese Geschichte nicht auch umgekehrt funktioniert. (Bei den Stichworten Items und Kiste faellt mir uebrigens ein: Ich habe inzwischen nicht nur in Sachen Erfahrung, sondern auch in materieller Hinsicht mein Newbie-Stadium endgueltig hinter mir gelassen, mir die ersten Non-Vendo-Sammlerstuecke zugelegt. So steh' ich also nun da, pleite, immer noch keine Wohnung - aber dafuer mit Schneeball und Heart-Box. Ist das vielleicht nix?) Aber es gibt Hoffnung. Wie man hoert, sind alle diese Neuerungen als Vorbereitung auf kommende Ereignisse gedacht - Veraenderungen in der Stadt sollen kurz bevorstehen. Und dann, Tom, ist es endlich soweit: Du kannst mit deiner Prinzessin das suesse Leben zu zweit endlich vollkommen ungestoert geniessen . Aber sei gewarnt: Es koennte sein, dass ich zwischendurch mal auf nen Kaffee hereinplatzen werde. So, genug geschwatzt. Bis bald in Phantasus - und bleibt immer weg von offenen Fenstern. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Some of you know me and some may have only heard of me, some don't know me at all! But I have an announcement to make to all of you -- My friends! I have asked Moochas-Chief GK SrK to marry me to which she replied YES! We have been close friends for a long time and it was only a matter of time before I realised how much I love her.

This announcement is an unofficial invitation to our marriage (date not yet set) so please consider yourselves all invited. Also to Fawn and Indigo, I was wondering if we could hold my SunRay ceremony on my wedding day to make it all that more special? Thank you all for being my friends!

Gamblers Not-so-Anonymous ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {!} - Storm Games: There's a Storm Coming! - {!} By Christopher Storm Storm Games began as recurring event that brought Kymer daily to all the gamblers out there. It continued on like that for a month or two before I realized I just could not keep up with all the online charges racking up. Not wanting to end something so enjoyable to the players and myself alike, I decided to slide it into a comfy little (okay not so little ) time slot every Thursday. Since then Storm Games has begun to grow again, with bigger payouts, more players, higher jackpots, climbing bets and better macros! Well now Storm Games has just gotten too big to stay where it is. And thats why, with great enthusiasm, I would like to announce Storm Games returning to a DAILY time slot. Thats right, you heard me correctly, as of Monday, April 22, Storm Games will be running Monday through Friday once more. However, as anyone can see by glancing at the schedule, there are events (mostly bingo) running almost all day every day. How on earth can I squeeze in ANOTHER Kymer game? Well luckily this is Kymer, not earth, and while it isn't humanly possible, it IS unicornly possible! Just three easy steps and you'll see how. 1) Storm Games isn't just ANOTHER Kymer game. Thats right, we're talking about *THE* Kymer game here. No where else in the city of Phantasus will you find the excitement that is to be found at Storm Games. With betting ranging up to 250T, jackpots going as high as 10,000T, and over 200,000 Tokens in winnings so far ... well that pretty much says it all. But if it doesn't, how about this: Exclusive use of the two room STORM GAMING HALL as soon as turfs become available, NO MAXIMUM payout limit, not 20:1, not 30:1, not 50:1... the more players, the higher it goes, RARE prizes to be won, and 10T added to *EVERY* bet you make. With a payout of 20:1 thats an extra 200T ontop of your normal winnings. 2) Storm Games is at a *NEW LOCATION - REGENCY HALL* Why move it away from the ever popular Harlequin Games? Well you'll see why when we get down to #3, but for now just appreciate a new change in background scenery! And as soon as the STORM GAMING HALL opens up, you'll be able to play every day in the offical home of Storm Games. 3) Storm Games is at a *NEW TIME - 12:00NOON (WAT)* No, you're not hallucinating. I know there are events running in every time slot from 9:00 in the morning to 5:00 at night. Which is exactly why I put it where I did. You players don't need ANOTHER Kymer game... you need the BEST! What would be the point in scheduling a time neither I nor Storm Game's regular players could make? None at all, exactly! Still, you're probably wondering if this will create some tension between the various hosts also running at that time? You can bet on it (I'm sure LeadMan will start a pool!) First let me assure you I have no ill will against ANY of the other hosts. Many, if not all, are close friends and I wish them the best in the games. Heck, if I have the time I try to play in them! But you gamblers out there deserve the BEST Kymer game you can get. And a little (okay a LOT of) healthy competition will see to that. Storm Games is coming out all guns blazing, and I guarantee when the competition feels the heat they will do everything they can to get your patronage. In the end no matter WHERE you go, you will be playing only the best of the best. Now its *MY* job to convince you that it is Storm Games. If you didn't quite realize that from STEP #1, how about this: Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday Storm Games will be running the brand new, easy to play, LIGHTNING LOTTERY. Every Tuesday and Thursday you'll be able to play normal and not so normal Kymer with winnings the likes of which you have never seen! The Storm is Coming, gamblers, and its about to start raining. Only this rain is Gold Tokens, and its falling YOUR way!

Latin America is the second fastest growing market in the world and is expected to become the main market for the US within the next few decades. Latins and Spanish are gradually arriving in Kymer and finding that there is already a group here that they can feel comfortable with called the Hispaniclytes. Our Latin cyber-community is growing every week and we need a place to meet an receive avatars interested in practising their Spanish. WE REALLY WANT THAT PLACE TO BE THE ISLAND OF THE CARIBBEAN!! Culture is very important for WorldsAway giving all citizens an opportunity to learn more. We can provide the atmosphere an encouragement for all lovers of Latin America, Spain and the language of Cervantes. Please support the Hispaniclytes by allowing us to consider Isle Caribe as our group headquarters.

The Duckolyte homepages feature all the information about the Duckolytes, including the up-to-date member lists, as well as the history of the clan. There is also many other features such as an image gallery (with a contest; see article: "The Duckolyte Homepage Contest"), info about WorldsAway, other clans, and an ESP! archive, just to name a few. The address for the pages is as follows: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/ADJimi However, this address may change in the near future so that we may add features and provide more information and archives. Why not check it out! Netscape 2.0 or later is highly recommended if you plan on attending the site, although the pages were completely and successfully tested out using 4 different browsers, including the CompuServe standard, Mosaic. The pages were produced by Chief Duckolyte Jimi and Chief Duckolyte Mark. Stay tuned for more details and developments in the following weeks! {!} - The Duckolyte Homepage Contest - {!} By Chief Duckolyte Jimi A new feature of the Duckolyte Homepages (see article above") is the Duckolyte Homepage Contest. This will be another Duckolyte event, held on a monthly basis. For this month, the contest comes in the form of the Duckolyte Homepage Name That Image Contest. There is a screenshot of somewhere in Kymer that you must identify. Just fill out the form on the page and voila! You're entered into the contest! A draw from all the correct guesses will occur at the beginning of each month, with the winner of the draw getting the prize. See the complete rules on the contest page. Keep posted for upcoming news and results, and good luck! {!} - Duckolyte Participant Guidelines - {!} By Arch Duckolyte Brains Serena has published a number of guidelines regarding hosting events which are very well done. I suggest that if you have not read them, it would be most insightful and helpful to do so. I wanted to add some items from my perspective, so that people understand what is going on when we are running a Duckolyte Event. This will help us with hosting a smoother running event. We would appreciate your taking the time to review these. Door Prizes: All Duckolyte events use a computer program created by Wert P Gumby (an honorary Duckolyte) to make the selection of winners. The program pulls all ESPs sent to the host. You only need to send an ESP once to be automatically added to the list. Any ESP will work. It does not matter what is said in the ESP in order for the program to accept your entry. The only exception to sending only one ESP is when the host states to do so. Please refrain from sending repeated ESPs. It slows down the host's system and has the possibilty of crashing my system which delays the game. Some people seem to think it is funny to repeatedly send these ESPs. Please help us by cooperating with this small request. ESPs to Host: The hosts are extremely busy administering the event. Guidelines for each event are stated up front to the participants on who is fielding all questions. These guidelines are also explained throughout the event. In almost all cases, the host is never the one who answers the questions. Please refrain from constantly ESPing (making comments) the host while the event is going on. It does several things. It ties up the host's screen with less important information, not allowing the host to answer serious questions from the helpers. It also overloads the host's ESPs which causes slowdowns and crashes. There is much going on behind the scenes which the average participant is unaware is happening. This is the single biggest problem with trying to host events and games in Kymer. Ghosting: Please stay ghosted during all events unless told to do otherwise. This slows down the event for everyone. This is especially a problem during Ghost Racing, but also is a big problem during auctions, and while presenting prizes. Disruptors: Apparently some people feel that they are allowed to do whatever they want without regard for others. Hosting events is a process that takes a lot of time to get organized behind the scenes. Many hours go into the planning and organization of any event. Even the weekly events take much time in putting together prizes and preparation of the event. Lately, people who spend absolutely no time in preparation feel we owe them time on stage to voice their views and concerns. They do not ask us for permission and have their own agendas which they voice selfishly. These people have no concerns for others and will be treated accordingly in all future events. Recently, I have asked for Oracle help and received it. I thank them for their support. The Oracles understand the frustrations that come when putting so much work into these events only to have someone disrupt them. This problem will be addressed by the hosts when Turfs are available. The Duckolyte hosts will not tolerate disruptions, and avatars who cannot follow the rules will be expelled from events. We will control our own events. Please help us here by cooperating. {!} - Duckolyte Auction - {!} By Arch Duckolyte Brains The Duckolyte Auction hosted on Friday, April 19th was a huge success. The newly established Event Fund received a huge shot in the arm in getting started. We had some many items, we could not get to many of them. These will be carried over to the next Auction. Prices for items and their respective buyers were as follows: Bag (Halloween, 4 items) 4,500Ts Lil Angel Butterscotch 1,500Ts Leadman Candy_Head (Sweetie Pie, Love Ya, Lets Not, Buzz Off) 3,100Ts PMS Christmas Wreath 17,000Ts Lil Angel Duck_Head* (rare green) 4,000Ts Dennis S Gingerbread House 3,000Ts Orlando GingerBread_Head 5,400Ts MistWeave Heart Chest (hold 10 items) 2,250Ts PMS Hot Chocolate 750Ts Lindy Lacey_Heart Head* 4,000Ts Chris Storm Martian Head (rare Gold) 3,200Ts Mariah Martini 1,450Ts CyberMage Mystery Chest 14,500Ts Wert P Gumby Mystery Sack 12,500Ts Headhunter Chieftain Ornament -Red Woman 1,800Ts Beached Peppermint 1,000Ts Lord Will Rare Pink Head sprays(3) 3,000Ts Mariah Rare Pink Body Spray (3) 3.000Ts Pearl Girl Rare Red Body Sprays(3) 2,000Ts Mariah Rose_head* (Steel) 4,800Ts Chris Storm Rose_Head* (yellow) 3,700Ts Mariah Snowball 1,100Ts Beached Snowman_Head 5,100Ts Darien Valentine (pink) 1,450Ts PMS The Duckolytes are very excited and proud to be bringing to you this new and wild auction every month at the Starway Stage cafe. A European version will be held monthly as well to satisfy our friends over seas. All proceeds will be going into the Duckolyte benefit fund to help sponsor future prizes for events held in the Dreamscape. To put on events that contain prizes it takes many tokens, most of which come from the sponsor’s own pockets. This will offset the high cost of holding special events and will bring to you a larger number of prizes. All avatars of Kymer will benefit from this and the Duckolytes are elated about bringing this to you on a regular basis. During the events there are always door prizes. The auction is handled a little bit differently then auctions of the past, we add our own flavor of bidding to make it more enthusiastic for the bidders, and for those who like to watch. One of the ways of bidding (traditional) is that the item up for bid will go to the highest bidder. The other variation called "Duckolyte Rules" goes like this: the item up for bid will be deliberately started high, then gradually go down in price. The first bidder to bid gets the item. Here is an example, lets say the item is a rare Cute Elf head (rep), the floor is opened by the auctioneer at say 10,000 tokens. The price gradually decreases until a bidder bids on it. The first one to bid gets the item. This type of bidding adds a new excitement and tension to the auction. We only had time for one round of Duckolyte bidding in this auction due to the length of time of the event. We plan to have more inthe next event. It was received quite well. The Duckolyte sponsors are charging a fee of 10% for items placed on consignment, and once again the profits will go to help fund future events in Kymer. Items up for bid at the auction are guaranteed not to be sold in vendos. We are looking forward to seeing you at each and every auction at the Starway Stage Cafe. The Duckolyte Collectibles Benefit Auction will have many rare items up for bid. Everyone who comes is eligible for door prizes. Door prizes consist of rare items and are given through out the night. Please contact the following authorized individuals for items to be placed on consignment: Chief Duckolyte Brains Chief GK Raptor-Duckolyte SrK Do not accept offers from imitators claiming to represent the auction, contact us in world if you have a rare item that you would like to place on consignment. {!} - Duckolyte Ghost Racing -Results - {!} By Arch Duckoyte Brains The results of Duckolyte Ghost Racing on Sunday, 4/14 were as follows: 1st Race: Sunray Mariah won a sparkolyte soda to quench her thirst 2nd Race: Darkhorse won a valentine 3rd Race: Darkhorse won Flowers (roses) in the Box Race 4th Race: Duckolyte LumMoose won a fern in the other Box Race 5th Race: Chief Duckolyte Davy Joe won 50Ts 6th Race: Heimdall won a Heart Chest with a suprise inside 7th Race: Duckolyte LumMoose won rare non-vendo paints for Head&Body 8th Race: Chief Duckolyte Davy Joe won 75Ts 9th Race: Duckolyte Chris Brown won a rare Rose Head painted with rare non-vendo bronze. 10th Race: Heimdall won a Duck Head painted with rare non-vendo black. 11th Race: Sunray Mariah won 100Ts The monthly standings are being published.

We have evolved into the largest helping group in Phantasus. Soon our lives will get even more exciting as new developments will give us the tools to help our fellow Kymerians even more and enrich the lives of all citizens. First up will be the finalization of the Novice level task lists. Finally we can begin to realize our full potential as we make strides towards GuildMaster and strengthening our guilds. This education and experience will enable us to unite the Sunrays and Knights together in a closer bond of helping each other as well as the newcomers, other help groups and the great people of Kymer. Very soon now turfs will be released and that means GuildHalls! A place to have meetings, to host events, store items, and just plain hang out so those who need us can find us. A new idea for a fundraiser is in the works and sounds exciting. Look for email from Indigo and Hera about the details. Our organization continues to get better organized as we conduct RoundTable meetings, Facilitator meetings, and create new positions to help delegate some of the work load. Please feel free to volunteer if you have a particular area you would like to help with. Our growth rate can only increase as the weeks progress. I know we all have waking world commitments, but most of you can see by now we move cautiously and with purpose. This space is open to any of the guilds that would like to contribute any news, pleas for assistance, or other items of interest. Each guild could have a member contribute news about their guild happenings. Keep reading here each week for the latest information on Sunray Knights of Kymer developments. I would like to thank everyone for their support and I'll see you in the Dreamscape. {!} - The SunRay and the Knight - {!} By SunRay Fawn Part One Commentary -------------- Holger Wurbs was my Cyberspace Knight Galahad, confidante, and best friend. The purity of our connection and the childlike openness and innocence was what we brought to Kymer. But Kymer and the Dream gave to us the opportunity. Love can soar higher and drop lower inworld than in the Waking World. We can choose what we want at the outset. The love between souls that soars above pain and circumstance is a symbol of the higher level of communion AND community that is possible in Cyberspace. You don't have to believe in reincarnation to experience the multiplicity of lives we live between the Dream and the Waking World. When we cross over the boundaries between the Dreamscape and the WW, we can carry the best parts of our Self back and forth. The following is a story that I wrote before I was a Sunray, before Holger was a Knight and before the Dreamscape existed. In the Waking World I was twelve years old. I carry this part of my self to the Dream and share it with all of you. I dedicate this story to Holger, Knight Galahad, the Most Selfless Knight of Kymer, who I would never have known was real without the Dream. Part Two: A Mythical Story across Worlds The SunRay and the Knight ---------------------------------------- There was a young girl and boy who played together every day in a in a cluster of granite rocks along the oceanside in the Dreamscape that Nature had built for them. They created pathways through the gorges and the rivulets that became the moats and castles of their world. She had a brass barrette that she wore to tie her hair back and it shined like gold in the sun and he called it her Crown. He carried a stick for his sword and fought dragons that rose from the sea, attempting to wash away their Dream. She tied leaves around the stick that protected him from death. They told one another secrets and their giggles flew like seagulls over the sea and sand. She collected shells that were to go upon his jacket to protect his heart that was so large. Wars in Waking World forced the Prince to leave their Dream and move to the other side of the world. In trying to comfort the prince, she wiped his tears, but the young girl's golden clip fell between the rocks and was washed up by a wave into the sea. As he wept, she whispered "but we always have 'tomorrow', and I will find another crown. He could not tell her that he would not returning. In the stillness of an empty Dreamworld cavern, she stood in her rock castle alone, with the seaweed he had woven together, wrapped around her waist and she asked Morpheus, the Maker of Dreams, "Why? Why would Morpheus make a Dream that could house a love so pure, so selfless, and so full of joy and freedom if only to rip the lovers apart by the whims and changes of the guardians in charge?" The young girl could only beg the God of Dreams to give her a sign. Had the story of the SunRay and the Knight reached him or touched his Heart? Was she supposed to stop her dreaming? Hadn't Morpheus himself given her that Dream? It rained that night; torrents of water rushed against the window. Laying in bed, she listened to the tears of Morpheus pounding on the roof. She knew her prince was alive and fighting dragons in another Dream. There was a smile on her face when the morning sun rose. There lives a Knight and a SunRay inside us all. Let the Dreamscape awaken them and let them live. We have nothing to be afraid of. They can save our Dreams from our Selves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
