Kymer Bingo Marathon Lasts 14 Hours by Acolyte Rosaleah Harlequin Games was the site of Necrolyte Nut Jackal's marathon series of Kymer Bingo games last Saturday. The marathon began at 9:30 a.m. and didn't end until 14 hours later at 11:30 p.m. WAT. All that time, Jackal stood outside Harlequin's taking bets and calling out numbers for all the players who stopped by during that time. Certainly this must have been the longest running game hosted by a single avatar. Adam South East said he played forsix hours straight himself less only one 30-minute break; no doubt there were others who played in such long stretches as well. Necrolyte Nut Jackal, of course, spent the whole 14 hours on his feet ... and he must have been feeling the strain, because when I came by towards the end of the game, he asked me if I'd brought a chair for him! Sure wish I'd had one he could sit in. We wonder if the marathon can claim the most total number of tokens won (and lost?) in a single event. Jackal said that his highest token payout for a single call of KYMER! was 4200 tokens, to Temptress. Indeed, Temptress became the winner of the most tokens in the series of games, at 5300. Lag O'Morph also won big, claiming 4800T. Coming in third in the tokens-won sweepstakes was Sparhawk, with 4000T overall. Jackal reports that a total of 402 different people played during the course of the Marathon. He thinks that, too, must be a record! Playing in the last game of the marathon were Amy V, Claudia from Germany, CoreyP, Cyber Mage1, Judy, Lag O'Morph1, Max Raven, Myrdinn, Sparhawk, Dragutin, SunRay Freya, Acolyte SunRay VIQer, and Big John. Winning in this last round, which was a variant called Blackout, in which all numbers on the card have to be called for the win, was CoreyP. Can Kymerians ever get enough of Kymer Bingo? Probably not, since another game started up just after Jackal left to take a well-earned rest from the previous 14 hours! Jackal says that he's planning to do this again, to go longer than the 14 hours, on February 15. He's looking for assistants to answer questions that players have during the game, so if you'd like to earn some extra tokens by helping out, be sure to talk to Necrolyte Nut Jackal about it when you see him around Kymer. !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! A Word About The Duckolytes By Chief Duckolyte Mage Brains Some of you have seen a Duckolyte or two around Kymer and have wondered what the Duckolytes are all about. This is a brief explanation of our group. More information can be found in the WorldsAway Forum by downloading the file Ducklyte.txt (Duckolyte Constitution). You may even see a picture or two in the forum as well. The Duckolytes were started to add a positive influence on Kymer. They are here to assist new avatars and existing ones with questions or assistance as needed. Duckolytes prevent scams from happening to newbies who don't know any better. We are here with one main purpose in mind: to insure that a healthy environment exists for all to have fun and enjoy Kymer. Our mission is to have fun too, so don't expect us to be stuffy and uptight. After all, Kymer is meant to be enjoyed by all. We are here to help insure this happens. Duckolytes cover all time zones with approximately 50 members now located in countries world wide. Germany, England, Australia, Canada, and the United States are some of the countries represented. The Duckolytes are a trusted clan in Kymer involved in many activities ranging from Kymer Bingo and Blackjack hosting to the upcoming hosting of Ghost Races which will be announced shortly (watch for more on this in the next issue). The group is headed by Arch Duckolyte Jimi. There are four Chief Duckolytes with the responsibility of managing the flock and all activities having to do with the group. The current Chiefs are as follows: Chief Duckolyte Mage Brains (me), Chief Duckolyte Renegade, Chief Duckolyte Mark , and our recently promoted duckolyte, Chief Duckolyte Davy Joe. Only the Chiefs or Arch can make an avatar into a Duckolyte. Other members of the flock can make recommendations on possible candidates, but that does not guarantee that an individual will become one. If an Acolyte is unavailable to help with exchanges or selling items to one another, you can trust one of the Chiefs to help with this. The Chiefs are the most trusted in all of Kymer with the exception of the Acolytes. I think if you talk to friends you will find this to be true. Also, if a problem ever does pop up with a member of the Duckolytes, please feel free to notify one of the Chiefs so proper action can be taken. I would hope that this will never happen. To become a Duckolyte, you need a Duck Head and you will be monitored during an evaluation period (to be not less than 2 weeks until the Chiefs are confident of your worthiness to be a Duckolyte). New recruits will have no idea who is reporting back to the Chiefs since many of our evaluators are undercover. This evaluation period can be waived for avatars who are already known to be in good standing with the Chiefs. Some of the Chiefs operate with another avatar to help with the evaluation process and test the new recruits. Arch Duckolyte Jimi is particularly good at doing this. His other avatar sure looks like a newbie to me. Upon approval, you will be notified of the decision to make you a Duckolyte. A ceremony is conducted at the Temple Registry; you will be required to provide your CIS ID and where you live, then your name is changed to begin with Duckolyte. Upon completion of the ceremony, a complete listing of all Duckolytes with IDs and their locations is e-mailed along with a copy of the Duckolyte Constitution to the newly inducted Duckolyte. Once you are a Duckolyte, your behavior must continue to meet with the rules of the flock. Infractions are monitored closely which can possibly lead to expulsion from the flock with serious or repeated infractions. Monthly meetings and games are held to keep the flock updated on the latest information concerning the flock. The most recent one was held on Thursday, January 26. You may have seen quite a few Duckolytes during the day and wondered why. On these days, you can always find a hosted game of Bingo or Blackjack to pass the time and make more tokens. Other games are being organized and scheduled for future meeting days. !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! Knights of Kymer Meeting Update By Acolyte Sunray Indigo As was announced, Due to circumstances beyond my control, it was necessary to postpone the Roundtable meeting scheduled for last Saturday. It has been rescheduled to Saturday, February 3, at 4:00 p.m. WAT, at the Temple Tabernacle. Thank you all for your ongoing enthusiasm! We are all really looking forward to the meeting. I have no doubt that the delay will, in the end, make for a better gathering. This will be the first time a meeting of this format will be conducted in the Dreamscape! Keep the creative juices flowing , talk amongst yourselves, and if you have any questions or ideas, please email me. !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! Seen On The Street by Rosaleah Speculation about the gadgets attached to the OAK teleporter seems to have died down in favor of speculation about the Orbitron. We heard that the Orbitron spoke ... to a Normala? ... but nobody seems to know just what was said. The Orbitron doesn't look like something that could talk; but on closer inspection, it does appear that the small dome at the base of the Orbitron might house a speaker, either of the live or electronic variety. I stood by the Orbitron for quite some time, speaking to it as softly and in as friendly a manner as I could, but I didn't hear so much as a whisper from it. All that remains of SantaLand are the snow-covered trees and the snowdrifts, as Santa has returned with his elves to the North Pole. Not all his elves, though. It seems that Mistelchen missed the sleighride back home. He's making the best of things, however, and says he finds Kymer an interesting place to be left behind in. Suns we have seen: Mykey and Lotus, in bright yellow, with black tops, standing on the street with @Dark Sun@ and Tangerine, aglow in all-over orange. I wondered if a moon and a star might wander into this bright and shiney daytime, but, no, the suns shone too brightly for any parts of the nightsky to appear as well. Of course, SunRay Freya carries her own moon about with her these days. It looks just like those moons we've seen walking about the streets, but Freya's moon is smaller and is carried rather than able to walk on its own. How nice to be able to have your very own moonbeams in your pocket! Any thieves and pesterers out there would be well advised to watch out for Carolyn's guard-fuzzie, Killer. It seems that Killer has been known to take a byte out of crime now and then ... and we'd never known before that fuzzies had teeth! Have you seen Mehitable and Tin Tin in their cat guises? They were standing nose-to-nose, making wild eyes at each other the other day over by the fountain. The Air Dragon seemed to be enjoying the antics as much as the cats themselves! !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! The Phantasus Necrolytes By Necrolyte Xian Its seems that it's time to re-publish the Necrolyte list; so on behalf of the Necrolyte Council, here is the updated list of inducted Necrolytes: Necrolyte Master Dubbs Necrolyte Benny Necrolyte Xian Necrolyte Jackal Necrolyte Jay Necrolyte Nebb Necrolyte Rosa Necrolyte SunRay White Rose Necrolyte Sky Tower Necrolyte Vadim All others using the Necrolyte name are non-inductees and the Necrolyte Council are not responsible their actions. If you're interested in joining, please contact Necrolyte Master Dubbs at 100647,3202 and he will get back at you as soon as possible. !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! An untitled poem by Will E. My desire is like a candle, with a Spark I glow and shine out bright, Pushing back the cold darkness, And the cruel damp night. Then a gentle breath like no other, Makes me flicker and then be Smothered. Once again in the shadows, I feel the chill, the whispers of fear, Dark crawling all over me, No one can hear. I wonder about it all, And make myself cry, Until given new life, Made ready to die. !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! Bingo Madness!

Bloodline Talent Contest: Storytelling By Marianne G On January 14, the Bloodline hosted a talent contest, where one of the competitions was in storytelling. Following is the story that took first place at the Competition. The Lost Newbie ***************** By Christopher Storm The dark clouds hung low over the turbulant waters, black streaked with a swirling dark grey. The grim skies were constantly lit with flashes of brilliant lightning, followed by a deafening roar of thunder that even drowned out the noise of the crashing waves. Even as the gale force winds whipped the waves higher, a large shape appeared in the darkness. The clouds seemed to grow angry at this bold object which defied them and closed in around it. Pressing forward, the object sliced through the waves with a determined power. A ship. The huge vessel's sails were pulled tight against the mast, and the winds threatened to rip them completely free. Still it pressed onward, as if to blatantly defy the forces of nature. The storm seemed to rage against it and with a blinding flash lightning struck the deck. When the brilliant bolt vanished, a human form lay where it had touched down. The form stirred, slowly rising to his feet. Shaking his head, he looked around in a haze of confusion. Not only did he not know where he was, but he could not remember WHO he was. The only name that came to mind when he thought about himself was Avatar2012. His struggle to remember his identity was cut short when the deck lurched beneath his feet and he was thrown against the railing. The wind and rain hammered into him, pushing him up over the edge of the ship, and the stranger struggled to hold onto the slick wood. Just when he thought he was done for, a strong arm shot forward and clasped his. With a single powerful heave, the arm yanked him back up onto the deck. Avatar2012 tried to make out the image of his rescuer, but he could see nothing in the torrential downpour. He was just about to call out to the rescuer, when an enormous wave crashed over the deck, and slammed into him. Everything spun around and Avatar2012 felt himself being carried along with the wave. He saw the side of the ship passing by him, and then with a bone-jarring jolt he hit the surface of the water. The air was slammed from his lungs, and Avatar2012 struggled to make it back to the surface. Splashing up onto the churning surface, he had only a second to gasp some air before the waves smashed him back under. This time he was thrown deep beneath the surface, and within seconds he had lost all sense of which way was up. The last thing he saw was a dark shape swimming towards him through the water, and then all went black. *** Avatar2012 slowly opened his eyes to find himself face down on a sandy beach. Every muscle in his body ached, but he sluggishly pulled himself up into a sitting position. Looking around, he was overjoyed to see that, while the sky was dark, the storm was calmed for the moment. He seemed to be on the beach of some strange island ... behind him the waves gently lapped against the sand. Ahead of him the beach ran for a brief distance before being swallowed up in a dense forest. Hearing a distant rumble of thunder, he realized the storm would probably pick back up soon, and he would stand no chance if he stayed where he was. With a groan, Avatar2012 pulled himself to his feet and began to jog up the beach towards the forest. Reaching the edge of the jungle, he turned and took one last look out at the ocean, but there was no sign of the ship he had been on. With a final quick glance at the dark sky, he stepped into the jungle. *** With an exasperated sigh, Avatar2012 slumped down to his knees surrounded by the dense foilage all around. He was in the middle of some strange jungle on some tiny island surrounded by a turbulant ocean. He had no idea how he had gotten here, or for that matter, even who he was. And to make matters worse, he heard the pitter patter on the leaves above him as it started to rain again. He was just about to give up when he felt it. Something was out there. Watching him. A shiver went up his spine and he could have sworn he heard something breathing. Jumping back to his feet, he sprinted deeper into the jungle desperately trying to get away from whatever was out there. Looking back as he ran, he saw a flash of movement in the trees behind him, and realized hysterically that it was chasing him. Avatar2012 quickened his pace, running as if his life depended on it, knowing that it probably did. And then, as if life was mocking him, he tripped over a branch and crashed to the jungle floor. Avatar2012 rolled onto his back and looked up just in time to see a large dark shape appear from the tree's in front of him. Whatever it was, it stuck to the shadows, slowly moving closer with a menacing growl. Its luminous eyes glared at Avatar2012 with a hungry menace, and he realized he was done for. The thing was just about to leap when a crack split the air and a robed figure appeared beside him. The figure paid Avatar2012 no notice, instead focusing its gaze on the creature. The thing seemed to ponder the idea of attacking the robed figure, and then, deciding against it, slunk back into the jungle. Slowly the robed figure turned and looked down at Avatar2012 lying at his feet. In a whispery voice that bespoke of great power, the robed figure said only two words. "Not Yet." And with a wave of his hand, a blinding flash enveloped Avatar2012. He felt himself being moved a great distance by some strange force, and when the light at last receded, he found himself kneeling on the deck of the strange ship he had begun on. The ocean was calm, and the sky had cleared, the warm sun shining down on him. Avatar2012 looked around, but no one else seemed to be here. Walking to the cabin door, he opened it and stepped inside. The small chamber beyond was empty except for a chest on the floor and a colorful parrot who promptly began to speak in a loud, boistrous voice. "Hello I am Hermes, Welcome to Kymer! Got a cracker?" A beginning... !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! CHAOS, Inc By Marianne G !!Important Notice!! All those who have a game plan and wish to try it out at CHAOS, Inc or those who have previously submitted game ideas, contact me at 72007,221 to schedule a date when you will be able to host it at CHAOS for all to help you try it out! !!Important Notice!! This past week, January 24, we tried Link-it. It's very easy, you just come up with the two, rhyming words, based on the clues. The example given to start everyone off was Intelligent Valentine. If you have not guessed it yet, we might tell you S H for a clue, or 1, (with the S and H being the starting letters of the words, and 1 being the number of syllables in the words) and if by now you STILL haven't guessed that the answer is SMART HEART, I may have to tell you that it pumps blood through the body. We had such smart linkers it was a fast game. Unfortunatly, we all seemed to crash, including myself, at the end, leaving me with a few people yet to pay off. Arch Duckolyte Jimi and Damia, I owe you tokens! Winning at the game was Necrolyte SunRay White Rose, RIM, Flash, Duckolyte Mage Scutter, Arch Duckolyte Jimi, Shells, Jack Ryan, and Compuchip took third place. In second, with just one more right, was Damia, and in first place, just ahead by one, was Puter. Way to go Puter! Hope to see you all at future events, and helping us to try out new and different games for the City. You can never have too many ideas, or two many places to try them out! !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! European Ghost Racing Results (1/26/96) by Holger On Friday, January 26, we had the last races of the month of January, 1996! Also this time, there were a lot of good and successful players and it was crowded as usual. Being the last races of the month, the avatars who were on top of the score fought for the monthly championship prize! These are the results: Winning one item each was Christopher Storm who got a chest; unfortunately he was not able to race for 2 items because he already won one prize in Ghost Racing on monday. You all should know that you can only win 2 items EACH WEEK (i.e: If you already won 2 items in Serena's Ghost Racing, you are not allowed to participate in mine. If you won one item in her races, you're only allowed to race for one prize in my races). Simon got some chocolate, MyKey won the weekly head race and got the Gingerbread Head, Dedannan SrK took home 100T and finally LumMoose got a neat rocking horse ! Winning two races each were Cypher getting a snowball and a candle which will light his way, Soltron2 got an ornament and 60T. Chief Duckolyte Davy Joe got a bowling pin and 50T! Some smaller prizes were won by Exar Kun, Damia, Duckolyte Markus J. Doe, Ropes, Dragonbane, @Dark Sun@ and Synapse ! ... and who was the winner of the MONTHLY CHAMPIONSHIP PRIZE 1/96, i.e winner of the KING TUT HEAD ?? Let's have a look at the final classification: There was only one person having 5 points which means that we even didn't have to race for it! The winner was: *** CHIEF DUCKOLYTE DAVY JOE *** Congratuations to him for his excellent and super fast racing! That's it for January. See you all this Friday when we'll start the February Racing! Thanks to everybody for participating! :-) !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! Ghost Racing Report By Acolyte Serena As a reminder, the races are every Monday at 5:00 p.m. WAT and the European version, every Friday at 11:00 a.m. WAT. All games are held in front of Isle Caribe, and there is a limit of two wins per week! Also, you can find complete rules for Ghost Racing in the GHOSTG.TXT File in the Worlds Away Life section of the Forum library. Monday Race Results Winning one race each on January 22 were Andolas for a key-to-my- heart, Knight Eclectus, Utopia and Christopher Storm for 50T each, and Cloe won a Cowgirl Head (not mine) for her first win ever! Winning two races were Huckleberry for a spider and 50T, Necrolyte Xian for a snowball and bowling pin number 8 of 10, and Chief Duckolyte Mage Brains for a total of 150T. This puts Necrolyte Xian in the lead with 8 wins followed right behind by Huckleberry with 7 wins. Winning small tokens of appreciation for coming were SKY TOWER, Kermit, Mistletoe, Gentle Male, Wild Flower, germanbunny, Lum Moose, Jeep, Ultra Violet, Knight Jed Clampet, MOD SQUAD MAN and Sherry. They not only got a chance to race, but also to listen to some off-the-cuff prose that helped to serve notice to all those who try to anticipate my ghosting. I'd like to thank all those who attended and continue to make this one fine game to host. !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! Knights Of Kymer TechTrivia Game Report by SunRay Hera The fourth TechTrivia game, hosted by Knight Alexis and SunRay Hera was held Thursday, January 25, 1996 on the StarWay Cafe Stage. This week was highlighted by the large number of guest hosts. Acolyte Sunray VIQer and Acolyte Ravenwhyte (substituting for Acolyte Sunray Indigo) were the celebrity guest hosts. My definition of a celebrity in the Dreamscape are those folks who have been there from the beginning (Beta Testers), or who are so busy helping the community we hardly ever get them to stop working (Acolytes) and have some real fun , or who are just rarely seen inworld because of their behind the scenes work with the Worlds Away development team (Oracles). Thank you gentlemen for your valued help. Also on hand were Sunray Mariah and Mula. Thanks for hosting and an even bigger thanks for all the pre-game work. Winning the 1st place prize of 300T and a Fox Head was Sunray Knight Oliver. He answered 16 questions correctly out of a total 20 questions covering PC technical information. WTG! That high score is a new record! Congratulations! We had a tie for second place. Answering ten questions correctly were Ann in PA and Boann. They each received 100T and a Hot Chocolate! Good going girls. We also had a tie for third place. Nyssa received 50T and some Sparkling Cider. SunRay Kethrey received 50T and a Snowball. Congratulations girls! Looks like the women are beating the men, come on guys. A total of 15 players registered for this week's game. Nine players arrived on time and received a 25T door prize. Ya can't win if ya don't play. And who knows ... maybe next week I'll award a 4th place prize! I would like to invite anyone with comments or suggestions on improving our game to write me, SunRay Hera, at 71762,3210. The Knights of Kymer will be adding an additional game soon. Please email me on what you would like to see presented for our new game format. I have all this stuff to give away and no fun way of doing it, so help me out with your ideas, please. The Knights of Kymer would like to recognize SunRay Mariah and Acolyte Serena for their contributing efforts behind the scenes. The Knights and Sunrays thank you for your support! Next week, fist place prize will be a RARE HEAD! In the event of a tie, then we have TWO RARE HEADS! Login next week and register to play TechTrivia. Come early! Register to play on time and continue playing until the end of the game and win 25 tokens! A special thanks to all of the players for attending and making this a real fun event. See ya next week! !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! Kymer Collectibles Auction By Acolyte Sunray VIQer Hosted by Scuttle and Clover Well!!!

Well when we got to the lockable trunk, the action really started! Back and forth, back and forth the bidding went!! Higher and higher! Finally Wert made that big leap to the 15,000 mark. He was serious about getting that chest. He was determined to have it for himself. Every bid on the chest over 11,000 tokens set a new record for the highest amount paid for one item at the auction. How will we top this? Who knows!!

Kymer Family Feud By Marianne G This was to originally be a CHAOS event, but this is too big even for CHAOS, so it's been turned over to the Bloodline to host in Feburary. It's based on Family Feud, and team play will be neccesary. There will be weekly games, with the last game of the month to determine the winning team.

This is on the order of, "with 78 kymerians responding to a survey, the top answer to this question ????? was?", so please, no essay responses, keep your answers to a few words :D Also, please don't discuss your answers with others, as I hope that the teams who play have not taken their own survey on the questions :D These questions previously appeared in Issue 22 of the CLARION, and if you have already responded, please do not do so again, but DO encourage others to send in their response if they have not done so already, to these and questions #26-50 found in Issue 23. SURVEY QUESTIONS: 1) My favorite organized activity in Kymer is? 2) My favorite host/ess of an organized activity is? 3) The guild/group I see most often on the streets are? 4) My favorite fountain location is? 5) My favorite spot to relax is? 6) Of all the improvements since beta my favorite is? 7) My favorite vendo item is? 8) When we get pets in the city, I want a? 9) The first thing I'm going to buy for my turf when we get them is? 10) My favorite Acolyte is? 11) My favorite Oracle is? 12) I met my best friend at? 13) The wedding I attended that I enjoyed the most was? 14) The most popular question I get asked by newbies is? 15) The first thing I did as a newbie was? 16) My favorite color for my shirt/blouse is? 17) My favorite function key is? 18) The region I wish would open up next is? 19) When I visited Santa, my number 1 wish was? 20) When they named the stars on the observation deck, my favorite was? 21) From the Santa Land Vendo, my favorite item was? 22) My favorite region to play a game in is? 23) If we can paint our walls when we get turfs, I'll paint mine? 24) My favorite forum message section is? 25) If there was an event I'd like to see come to Kymer, it would be?

Kymer Gambling Bingo By SKY TOWER Thanks to all who attended and helped on Sunday, January 28, 1996 Although it started with very few players the change of location did bring the numbers up quite a lot. A few points were raised about the length of time it takes to start each round. My reply is simple: there are a lot of newbies out there who have not played most of the games and need that little extra attention to help them on their way until they learn more. This does increase the time between rounds a little more than usual but the next time them newbies play a game of bingo with another host they will know what to do. Thanks for the patience from most of the game players. Winners were: Tangerine 300 T Actonizer 300 T BM 450 T My name is Fancy 175 T Sisi 100 T Mano 620 T Catgirl 350 T Riley 250 T The last round was for a pot of 290T and was won by Amital. Next Sunday the Bingo will be held outside Harlequin Games at 3:00 p.m. WAT. !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! Relay Ghost Races by Acolyte Sunray VIQer This week's race was cancelled due to waking world commitments. We will certainly make up for it next week!! We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! STORM Magic Show 1996: Shadows of Illusion By Christopher Storm Despite a few problems and glitches, and running over three hours, the show was an incredible success with a huge audience turnout. Thanks to all who assisted in helping it run smoothly. Following are the results of each event in the show! THE SHADOW BOX: The first illusion, a popular returning magic trick from the first show, involved a dissappearing box. The audience wasted no time in searching for it, but it was the Tut of all Tut's who found it, HOTSPOT. Hotspot returned the box to me for his 100T reward. Good job Hotspot! WIZARD WONDER QUIZ: Another popular event brought back from the first show, it required the answers to 10 magical questions, and one bonus question. It was a tight race for points for a while, but it soon became clear who would come out on top. Winning 500T, for first place was the guru of magical lore, ATHELSTAN. Second place and 300T went to Gorden Krantz, and it was a TIE for third place, with SUNRAY MARIAH and ULTRAVIOLET each winning 150T. Congrats to all winners. GHOSTS OF ILLUSION: My pride and joy, this brand new illusion went off beautifully. The audience watched as Sunray Artema, Highlander and I ghosted in and out of view, each holding a box. Only one contained tokens, and it somehow magically jumped from my hand to Highlander's during the course of the trick. CHIEF DUCKOLYTE DAVY JOE paid close attention, though, and was the first to choose the correct box containing 250T. Excellent work Davy! MAD MAGE GHOST RACES: I think anyone who has hosted ghost races can figure out the meaning behind the name, but they generally went pretty quick. The quickest of our audience snagged the prizes with NECROLYTE BENNY grabbing a morphing drum, KLAQAUN picked up 50T, SUNRAY MARIAH moved like lightning to snare the clown head, and GINGERLEE was able to swoop down for 50T as well. Round 5 was the trickiest of all, and our ghost racers had to guess which of six boxes contained the prize. TEEN IDLE was the lucky one of the group, and walked away with a slice of Apple Pie. FOOD! . TREW MAGIC KYMER: What a relief not taking all those bets! Kymer went quicker than ever before, and our lucky TWO winners quickly became THREE when Highlander made a generous donation. Winners were: HOTSPOT, TESSA L., and DAYDREAM, each winning 348T. Way to call KYMER! THE SHADOW GHOST: The finale of the show gathered everyone outside of the changing room in the VMART. Before the eyes of all, I was handcuffed (that APEX training sure paid off!), and sent inside the room. Artema began a sixty second countdown while I worked furiously away inside to free myself. When the countdown hit zero, Artema stepped inside ... and I was gone! The audience again wasted no time in starting the hunt, and what a hunt it was. Starting in Santaland disguised as a Panda, I ran a gauntlet of deghosting avatars trying to catch me. I could feel their breath on my back as I raced through the temple towards the tabernacle, but just when I thought I was home free ... I ran to the doors to find three of them waiting for me. CHIEF DUCKOLYTE DAVY JOE was the quickest to grab me, and won the 500T reward! It was a marathon of an event, but it was a great amount of fun. Thanks to all who turned out to watch, and I invite all Kymerians to keep their eyes open for another show at some point down the line. !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!

Trek Trivia Hosted by Captain Picard - aka Acolyte Sunray VIQer The Trivia this week was co-hosted by First officer Commander Data. The other bridge crew members were not able to be here this week. We had some of our previous winners this week trying for the grand prize again! This week we had a Cheese head to give away. We believe the cheese to be the most expensive head on sale today. It was well received . This week's Grand Prize winners are: <--=Vini Vidi Vici and Trill Spots==-> These two were neck and neck in score all the way through the game! Trill Spots chose to receive the head and 70T for answering. Vini Vidi Vici took home 650T, the equivalent of the Cheese Head value and 70T for answering! We had the following players answering this week: Trill Spots.... 7 correct answers Vini Vidi Vici. 7 correct answers Little Princess 4 correct answers Anti-Matter.... 4 correct answers Lag O' Morph... 3 correct answers Damia.......... 2 correct answers All the following players had one correct answer: Goddess of Love BeauMec Jim Mac 3 Sunray Pat W After the Trivia rounds were over, we hosted another 45 minutes of Stump The Trekkies!! With only two bridge crew members present, we were only able to answer approximately 50% of the questions correctly! This week we gave 15T each time we were stumped! Due to time limitations, we allowed each player two questions only. Some questions were very obscure. Things about filming mistakes were asked!! Talk about some tough questions! Next week we'll have to get a little tougher at Trivia. !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!

Where am I? By Necrolyte Xian The winners from last week are: 1st Inazuma......................Skull Head 2nd Chief Duckolyte Renegade.....208Ts 3rd Hotspot......................158Ts Last week's solution was: the locale to the right of the Sci Fi heads vendo. Congratulations to the winners and enjoy your prizes! And for this week the prizes are: 1st Moon head, 2nd 100Ts and third is 50Ts. It's easy to play the game. All you have to do is download the picture file titled WHERE5.GIF from the newsstand library section. Then you'll have to guess where the picture was taken, and be the first three to catch me inworld and bring me to the same locale. If you bring me to the wrong locale, you can guess again the next day, to allow others to guess. Don't worry if you didn't win this week as this game will be done in every issue of Clarion. But remember, the game closes on The Friday of that week, so hurry! See ya inworld! !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!

Letters to the Editors Dear Editors: Okay, Marianne G, you asked for it and here is your wish - a letter to the editors! First topic: stoned avatars. I would suspect that Scuttle and Clover's auction has made a lot of folks desperate for some extra tokens to carry with them to the ever increasingly popular rare item auctions. I myself used to practice this non-social activity back in the "old" days trying to "earn" tokens, although I never went to such extreme measures as to remove my head. Now I just dig deep into those chests for items gathering Kymer spider webs and put them on the auction block. Scuttle if this gets printed, you owe me for a plug here <>. I know CompuServe is giving you kickbacks for this idea, just kidding folks, LOL. Next; YES, YES, YES!!! You are driving me crazy with the format changes . I mean are you *trying* to invent a different way to pause between each article? I like some of them, i.e. **|**<<>>**|** is neat, but what the heck is that "thing" following the table of contents last week? Yikes! It made my printer give me a dirty look . Seriously, I love the full 80 column format, better than the 40 column. Overall, editors, you are doing one heck of a job. Keep up the good work! Keep dreaming, SunRay Hera EDITORS' REPLY: Thank you, SunRay Hera, for your kind words! And your printer shouldn't give you a dirty look this week! !*!*!*!*!*!*!*! Hi Clarion-Staff, Nobody is responding to your paper ? This has to be changed right away: You are doing a great job...WTG !!! I just love your paper and never can wait till the next issue comes out. First thing I do when coming home from work on Tuesday is to log in and see if the latest issue is out yet. Because I am talking about German time here, this is about 8:00 am WAT. But mostly the paper isn't out by that time :-(. Before I go to bed, about 7 hours later, I check it out a second time, but mostly have no luck either :-( :-(. I usually don't get much sleep during the next night, the thoughts in my head keep spinning about the next issue. What might be the title-story ? Are there any new events ? Might my name be mentioned somehow ? Next morning I am waking up even before the buzzer of my alarm clock starts. I touch myself through the rooms (eyes aren't very open yet), find my way somehow to my PC and manage to log in ... and there IT IS!!!! (getting totally awake by this point). What a way to start the day! By the way, you know why I am arriving at my job about half a hour late on Wednesdays? I hope these word make you feel better a little bit! Now, let me also answer Marianne's questions: 1) What is it they want to buy?: Well, when I, for example, read about the last auction, of all those beautifull things beeing traded (things I can only dream about, have never even touched one of these collectibles yet ... ok ... except for good old Tut :-)) and then read about those PRICES, I wish I could have some more tokens myself! By now, I am totally glad I could have been able to buy my very first own chest last week. (Yes, I am one of those newbies being inworld for about four weeks). I can imagine this could be a reason for many of those stoned avatars: Earn tokens to buy as much valueable items as possible. But I think, this is not very fair. Most of them won't have to pay any CIS-charges or even phone-rates I think. I couldn't afford this. I have to pay both. I prefer earning tokens the "hard way". By the way, why does a ghost gets less tokens than a non-ghost person? I love to play all those great games, but most of the time I have to be a ghost during this time. So I DO actively take part in the world and get less tokens ... isn't there something wrong? 2) I never was stoned. When I enter a locale with one or even more stonies, I get somehow depressed. It gives a very sad picture to me, the whole locale looks dead in a way. So please, give them their own locale with no max. of avatars - maybe call it the Kymer parking-lot or make them earn 60T as a ghost so that they can still live their lives as they want to do it ... because, if they like their zombie-lives, we should be tolerant enough to let them do it ! 3) Imitating avatars: Imitating Acolytes or other well known avatars is a good way of cheating others, specially newbies. They want to make them to be trusted so that they can trick others and the original gets to be blamed. I have never met one of these fakes ... and hope I never will. Thanks for giving tips how to make them out ! 4) Sorry, haven't heard about Cosmo Cat at all...... Now I would like to ask you some questions: 1) I would like to know about Kymers population and have (I think) a great idea: Why don't you post a sign in the middle of Cypress Street with the current population on it. Each newbie coming out of the promenade adds the number up or it could be updated each day/week. Good idea? EDITORS' REPLY: We'd like to know too! But if Morpheus is keeping track, he's not telling! 2) I once heard about an avatar who somehow lost his account or his system crashed or something like that. So he lost his avatar and all his belongings. Can this really happen? Now that I own this great King Tut Head I am very scared it might happen to me too. If so, is there a way of getting yours items, heads etc. back ? Do you know (or the main computer) know what an avatar has in his pockets? EDITORS' REPLY: All individual information regarding your avatar (name, head, body style, clothing colors, number of tokens in pocket and ATM, items inside pocket) is stored on the server. We don't know how the avatar you refer to lost his avatar and belongings, but you really don't have anything to worry about. The only way we can think this may have happened to the avatar you refer to is if he cancelled his account and then opened a new one. All avatar information on the FCT server is tied in with your account information. 3) The time for the last MAD-Contest was perfect. Not too early for Americans and not too late for Europeans. So please, stick to these times for special events. Most of the others events are hold in the middle of the night at European time (+9 hours). EDITOR BRYNNE'S REPLY: Thanks, Hotspot! I'll keep this in mind for future MAD events! So, guess this more than enough for this time, hope you find it not to boring. Keep your great work going. See you inworld. Bye, (King Tut-) Hotspot !*!*!*!*!*!*!*! Dear Editors: I'm new to Kymer (one week) and I found the Clarion rather useful. Especially the schedule of events helped me to plan my online-time better. I live in Germany and our only phone-company has recently raised their price. I have some suggestions: 1. Why not publish the Clarion as a Web-Page too, with some pictures. I especially liked the Clarion which came with the Worlds Away CD. The other possibility would be to create a Write-File with pictures but then Mac users couldn't read it. 2. How about a weekly chart list with the favorite heads of the avatars? If there are some who are interested in such a list, please contact me at 100106,122. Starocotes Lanzeas EDITORS' COMMENT: We have been asked a few times about placing the Kymer Clarion on the Web. However, we are waiting for the inworld document capability before deciding how we will go. As for creating the Clarion in a write-file, you provide the answer: we do the Clarion in ASCII text so MAC users can read it too! As for your suggestion of a weekly list of avatars' favorite heads, why not give this a shot yourself? If you get avatars to participate in providing you with this information, consider publishing it in the Clarion! !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!
