Knights throughout the centuries in the waking world have been considered messengers and protectors of the light of a higher power. This principle is written upon the banner borne by the Knights of Kymer." --Opening paragraph from the preamble of the Knights of Kymer. The first meeting of the Knights of Kymer took place in the Tabernacle on February 3. Speaking to a room filled with nearly 50 ghosts (knights, sunrays and interested members of our community), Acolytes Indigo and Ravenwhyte shared the philosophy of the Knights of Kymer and described the twelve guilds that will make up this most unique group. "Our Roundtable 'wheel' consists of twelve main 'spokes' or Guilds," explained Indigo. "Each Guild will be responsible for their own area of creativity and activity, with an underlying structure common to all the Guilds." The level of excitement increased as Indigo went on to explain that while the twelve guilds will function somewhat independently, they will also be united by the group's underlying goals and vision in regard to life inside (as well as outside) of Kymer and the Dreamscape. "[As] Guilds...come together...we can find opportunities to unite, blend, and overlap both ideas and activities throughout the Guilds. For example, The Mythology and Ancient History Guild may develop wonderful Dreamscape myths, which can be enacted by the Games and Role-Playing Guild, and then be mapped in the Kymer night sky as constellations by the Astronomy Guild!" Oracle Uni honored the knights by making an appearance and sharing a short story to convey the true purpose behind the Knights of Kymer. "When I was a young child in Sunday School, there was a song we used to sing: 'This Little Light of Mine, I'm going to let it shine.' We sang it with great enthusiasm and many little fights and incidents happened as a result of competing with the other children to hold our light higher and more enthusiastically than the other kids. It took some time of spiritual maturing to understand that the purpose of holding the light out to others was not to knock them over with it, but rather to help empower them, to light their way. I am pleased that this organization of Kymer's guilds is full of knights who understand this distinction." Those in attendance whispered in anticipation as the twelve guilds were announced and described. Guilds such as the "Bards of Phantasus," who will share songs and stories in poetic form with the citizens of Kymer; "The Games and Role- Playing Guild," who will sponsor, produce, host, and brainstorm ideas for inworld games and entertainment; and, the "Arts and Music Guild," who will promote interest in the arts of Kymer and Phantasus as well as sponsor art and eventually music programs for the citizens, all helped to stir the interest of those attending the meeting. Indigo hinted that the group may grow beyond twelve guilds and then went on to introduce the initial twelve that are now taking shape: 1. The Arts and Music Guild 2. The Astronomy Guild 3. The Bards of Phantasus Guild 4. Exercise and Movement in Cyberspace 5. Frontiers of Consciousness in Cyberspace 6. The Games and Role-Playing Guild 7. The Majik Guild 8. The Mythology and Ancient History Guild 9. Other Kingdoms/Bridges Guild 10. The Poetry and Story-Telling Guild 11. The Vision Quest Guild 12. The Youth and Children's Guild A complete transcript of the meeting will be uploaded to the WorldsAway Library shortly by Ravenwhyte. The transcript will contain full descriptions of the goals and planned activities of each guild as well as the names of each guild facilitator. It will also contain information on how knights can work from the position of Novice to GuildMaster through a series of exercises proving their dedication and commitment to serving members of the Dreamscape.

What a week this has been for me inworld. It seems with every update I submit, I have more to tell. This is only because you people are addicting and I'm having a great time hosting and getting to know each of you. Lets start with Monday Kategories. ================================== Kategories is the hottest new game inworld brought to us by Wert P. Gumby. This game is based on the waking world game of Scategories. Lots of people were pestering Wert to release it as soon as possible, as everyone saw the potential of this great game to keep us entertained. The price of the host 5000T, A little steep for a fairly new Avatar such as myself, but worth every last token. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Gumby for making this game reality in the DreamScape. I will be banking my Ts for the next hot new game to come out. Also special thanks to Adam South East for providing me with a loan to buy this host. Its nice to have fellow Avatars helping each other out. I will be returning the favor of kindness when the time comes. I hosted a session on Monday the 28th and it was a huge success. Unfortunately I got too involved in the game and forgot to write down the winners names. Next Monday I will be hosting again at Harlequin 4:00 p.m. WAT. And I promise to make note of these lucky people. My Favorite answer for this session was: Letter H, Excuses for being late: Husband Was Whiney. I don't know who submitted it, but I got a good laugh! If you have any suggestions on Kategories to be used, send me an Email to 102553,667 and I will include them. Kymer Bingo Madness =================== Bingo Madness is held each Wednesday outside of Harlequin at 6:00 p.m. WAT. January 31 was very, very busy. Unfortunately in the 1st game, Natashia called KYMER, but I could not see why she was calling. The card she registered was definitely not a winner. Maybe she registered a card then hit the randomize button without knowing. Who knows, but I can't declare a winner without proper validation. Sorry Natashia Winners are as follows: Round 1 - 25T Card - Cleopatra- 375T Round 2 - 50T Card - Cecila B.- 900T Round 3 - 100T Card - Askani - 1000T Round 4 - 25T Card - HD - 250T Round 5 - 50T Card - Jadelin - 650T Round 6 - 100T Card - Jadelin - 1600T Round 7 - 500T Card - George 2 - 4500T Raffle - 10T/Entry - Actionizer - 470T Jadelin obviously had the lucky card of the night. 2 wins in a row. WTG Jadelin. Lots of new people showed up and kept the helpers busy. Special thanks to JayVee, Askani, and Ann Ominous (AKA Killer). Ann sure cleaned up the place in the last part of the night. I was in ESP overload from people asking how much I paid for this bodyguard. So thats it for now. See you Monday 4:00 p.m. @ Harlequin for Kategories, and Wednesday 6PM @ Harlequin for Kymer Bingo Madness. To see the format of these sessions and general bingo rules, download JALKYM.TXT from the forum. Any comments or suggestions to improve these events are very welcome. Please Email me @ 102553,667 Again, thanks to everyone for participating. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The FunRaffle Report By Mr. Boombastic Congratulations to Little Princess, The FunRaffle winner for February 4!

Make it so!! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> LETTERS TO THE EDITORS: Dear Editors, Firstly, I think all you editors are doing a great job, and thanks also to everyone who has contributed so far. I have been a citizen of Phantasus for about a month now, and have enjoyed nearly every moment of it. The Clarion is an entertaining and informative publication which adds even more to the fun which it chronicles. I have read all the back issues of the Clarion from its inception, which would have served me well in a "Worlds of Fortune" game recently if only I had remembered that "The Sophia Incident" was spelled "SophiA" and not "SophiE." Oddly enough, this thorough perusal of Clarions led me into one (other) error, which is the main subject of my letter. In issue #1, I discovered the "tip" that the two pawn machines were not the same -- that the V-Mart machine only paid 1/2 the purchase price of an item, whereas the Temple & Oak machine pays 4/5. Elated to discover such a potentially valuable piece of information, I made mention of it to many people over the last month. Imagine my dismay when I discovered this week that I was wrong! This morning, I was dispensing this bit of wisdom in front of the V-Mart when Leadman expressed his puzzlement, and opined that this was not true. I realized that I never had tested the "tip" myself. Sure enough, he appraised a voodoo doll, and the V-Mart machine valued it at 40T -- 4/5 the value! (Leadman actually purchased a voodoo doll in order to appraise it in this experiment, and refused my offer to reimburse him -- be it duly noted that Leadman is a chivalrous avatar!) I surmise that at the time issue #1 was written, the Dreamscape was still in its beta stage, and this pawn machine differential must have been eliminated when WA went public. As a service to those whom I accidentally misled, and to others who may also have read the Clarion issue #1, I felt I ought to write this letter to set the record straight. I would also like to thank the others present in front of the V-Mart during the abovementioned experiment, who cheered me up by pointing out that many people may have met new friends on their walks across town to Oak & Temple. Special thanks to Windancer who gave me a very nice gift -- that's a certain way of cheering me up! Speaking of gifts, I can hardly begin to list all the kind people I have met in the Dreamscape -- people who have gifted me not only with tokens and treasured things, but with the invaluable intangibles of their warm personalities and lively conversations. I look forward to many more such merry meetings in the months to come. Only two small things more can I desire: a turf, and a mysterious leatherbound tome from an open Magic Shop!
