WEIRD SYSTEM MESSAGE OF THE WEEK: "Sorry, but the world is about to end." LEAST REGULAR EVENT: DIS. MOST "HELPFULLY-NAMED" AVATAR (sarcastically speaking): That would be Artema. I'd give you his precise name but I'd get it wrong. I think it's something like "Lord Artema SrK WA Guardian". Please don't tell me if I didn't get it right... if I could remember it he wouldn't have won. Also, please don't tell me if I DID get it right, 'cause then I wouldn't be able to sleep nights.

To celebrate this, "Duckolyte Trivia" will be kicked off at 7:00 p.m. WAT on the StarWay Stage. Topics will be changed from week to week with a Grand Prize awarded monthly. Prizes are awarded to the top three finishers each week. All questions have multiple choice answers, which means that if you are terrible at Trivia Games normally, you have a chance here simply by making a guess . There will be Special prizes in honor of St. Paddy's Day. First prize is a Leprechaun Head (rare Cute Elf Head painted with rare green), second prize is a Flower_Head (rare head painted rare green), third prize is a Duck_Head (Duckolyte head painted rare green). Normal prizes are always nice, but these are very special in honor of a special day. A brand new game program developed by Wert P Gumby called "Trivia Master" will be used. This program tracks answers being ESP'd to the host, and keeps track of all scores automatically. The game play is lots of fun and fast paced. The inaugural game will be "World Facts" so that no one is left out. Game options for scoring can vary on each game, so we will be using the first answer option on the inaugural game. We will also score points based on quickly you answer correctly. Points will be awarded as follows: First=4 points, Second=3 points, Third=2 points, and all other correct answers equal 1 point each. Door prizes will be awarded to kick off the official start of "Duckolyte Trivia". Please join us for the fun. --_^+^_-- ^+^ WARaffle Winners by Acolyte Lynx This week's winners of the WARaffle were: 1st place 6000 Tokens: Sternenstaub 2nd place 3000 Tokens: Rider 3rd place 1800 Tokens: Sunray LumMoose-Kymer Guardian 4th Place 1200 Tokens: Vagabond Remember to buy tickets from one of the following WARaffle reps (list complete as of 3/9/96): Acolytes: Lynx, Moria, Nicci, Electra Magica Lambchop, Magica Sunray Lambchop, Mivo, Chief Duckolyte Renegade, BLD Quackers The cost is 10 tokens per entry (25 entries per avatar max).

The File GHOSTG.TXT, found in the Worlds Away Life Section of the Forum Library, has been updated with new rules! These rules, which come from suggestions made by our players, go into effect starting with the MARCH Races. PLEASE make sure you read the file prior to attending future ghost races, and suggest it to newbies prior to their first race experience. A working knowledge of the game helps to speed it along some. !!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!!!! - Monday Night Ghost Racing Results (March 4th) Winning one race each were Bud Drakir for 100T and Robynn, a first time winner for 100T. The next group won two races each. Since this is the first race of the month, that makes all of them tied for first place for the Champ of the month,...... so far :D Winning two were Chief Duckolyte Davy Joe for a key to happiness and 50T, Chris Storm for a blue candle and 50T, Necrolyte Benny won non-vendo green paint and 50T (just in time for St. Patrick’s Day), Imajica won a cactus and 50T and finally, Huckleberry won a Heart Head (with some nice non-vendo green lace accent) and a fern. There were 23 ghosts at the height of the game, and also present were Necrolyte SKY TOWER, Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, JayVee, Mahakala, <>, Willy Wonka, Eliphas, Sunray LumMoose - Kymer Guardian and Mr Nice Guy. I'd like to thank you all for attending. - European Ghost Racing Results (March 8th) The 2nd race of the month on Friday 8th was a real chaos this time, because there were so many people walking through the streets and incredibly many participants... so the races took 2 HOURS (!!!) this time. Of course we had a lot of fun as usual :-). Winning one race was Duckolyte Chief Mage Brains who got a Gingerbread house. This race took really a lot of time, when I disappeared from the screen, all the people stood in front of the item and therefore NOBODY could reach it ! Of course nobody wanted to step aside and give up, so I decided to REDO the race after about 10 minutes. Brains finally got it then. Simon got also one item, he snatched 100 Ts. Getting two prizes each were Crusader Sidekick with a Heart_chest full of usual head spraycans and 100 tokens, Darkhorse who got an Ornament (I think it was an angel...) and 80 tokens, SunRay LumMoose-Kymer Guardian winning a Canary (eek, I forgot the name) and a jade green Rose Head. Astrid won a Bowling_Pin (waiting for 8 new ones ) and a BBQ_Chicken (yumm)... In our new "Second Chance Races" (i.e. the 11th race) Vagabond won in the first part, getting a rare clothes spraycan (jade green color) and Renegade got the same green as a head spraycan !! We brought up all these green items and sprays for the St. Patrick’s Day. Remember, AFTER the races, I write down all these people who didn't win anything IN the races, if they won't win the whole month, they can participate in our "Ghost Racers Special" races on 29th of March. This week I only got: Alienyte Sallisue, SCOUNDREL and LeadMan... though we had a lot more who left before I was writing down the names. For the Monthly Championship Prize we have 3 people leading the scores with 4 points (races each): SunRay LumMoose-Kymer Guardian, DarkHorse, Crusader Sidekick... followed by Astrid with 3 points. Thanks to everyone for taking part at European Ghost Racing and hope to see you all again on Friday (each Friday, 11 am WAT, outside Isle Caribe). --_^+^_-- ^+^ And the Survey Says By Marianne G Just recently the Bloodline brought you the KYMER FEUD game for your enjoyment. 75 Questions were posted in the CLARION to provide us with answers for that game. For some of those questions, there was not enough clear winners for the question to be used. However, there were some clear winners on some of the answers, and for the enjoyment of all, we will present some of them in this and a future CLARION or two. The number of avatars who voted for each answer is presented in (#) format after that answer. With 47 responding to the question of The first thing I'm going to buy for my turf when we get them is? Top answers were: Furniture(16), Plants (7), Paints/Decorations (6), Audio/Stereo Equipment (5), Orbitron (4) With 39 responding to the question of My favorite Acolyte is? The top answers were VIQer (9), Milen (5), Moira (4), Serena (4), and Kari Peace (3). With 46 responding to the question of I met my best friend at? Top answers were On the Streets (8), Fountain (7), Temple (6), Visitor Center (6), NuYu (4), Bar-l (4) and StarWay (4). With 49 responding to The most popular question I get asked by Newbies is? Top answers were How do I get tokens (26), Where can I get/Where did you get a Head (10), Directions (6), How can I get a Job (2) and how can I fly (2). With 40 responding to The first thing I did as a Newbie was? Top answers are went to VC (10), Bought a head (8), Wandered (8), Made friends (4) and went to VMart (3). With 47 responding to My favorite color for my shirt/blouse is? Top answers were Red (10), Blue (8), Purple (6), White (6), Gold/Yellow (5) and Black (4) With 49 answers to The region I wish would open up next is? Top answers were Magic Shop (10), Isle Caribe (10), Jungle (9), Harlequin Games (6), Victoria Gardens (4) and Library (4). And finally, with 57 responding to My favorite function key is? Top answers were F3 (26), F6 (9), F10 (9), F11 (6), and F7 (3) I have to admit, that the opening region may be a tad biased, as some of those answering that were the Monday Night ghost racing group. They are all hoping it opens to get the races off the streets and inside the building, where perhaps there will even be a ghost racing room built off to the side? We can only dream....... Hope these all give you some things to think about and talk about. Till next edition! --_^+^_-- ^+^ Last Chance to Claim Awards By Marianne G I'm forced to announce that anyone NOT claiming their prizes, will be considered to have forfeited them.

Angel Gambler, you are one of my newest winners, having won for sending in your survey, for the KYMER FEUD. Please contact me at your convince for your prize. ^+^ Chaos, Inc. By Marianne G !!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!!!! There is a day change for CHAOS, Inc. It has moved to Thursday Nights and will now be every Thursday at 5 PM WAT in the Bar-L Storeroom. This becomes effective with the game on the 14th! There will be no game on the 13th, the new day will be the 14th of March and every Thursday after that. Remember to come early for instructions. !!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!!!! This last Wednesday, the 6th, (or last on Wednesday night) we re- played Stack'Em. As some of you know, I'm finishing up the write up on the game play and rules of games we played at CHAOS during Oct, Nov and Dec. To insure that we have the best information possible for the file, we'll be replaying some of them that were crowd favorites to get them all finalized. Once posted to the forum library, the text file will help other hosts to plan games and events, and give the players a reference to draw from. Stack'Em was invented by BLD RazzaMa Tazz and CHAOS, Inc. got to try it out before it was used in a Bloodline event, (The Snowflake Games). In the game, you create a stack of players with the host somewhere in it, and based on numbers sent to the screen, you get a winning number. Any number over 6 all the ghost playing win a point, any number in the stack, you peel off the players in the stack till you reach that player, and they get the point. If the player in the stack is the host/ess, then all the players on the ground win a point. With a few changes, we were able to host 21 Stack'Em piles. Not bad when you consider the first time we played it we ran less than half that in the same amount of time. Players who were there included Chief Duckolyte Davy Joe, Berry, Pegasus, Wart, TCBusiness, Captain Griffin, Tolvart, Bink, Bloodlust and Will O'Wisp.... with the final winners tied for first being Utopia and JayVee with 9 points each. See you next Thursday at 5PM WAT in the storeroom, and remember to come early for directions. +---- - - :) POETRY AND HUMOR (: - - - ----+ --+ Definition By Mistweave Limping I dragged my weary well-scarred body to my friend. "Fool!" she shrilled. "I told you that you couldn't fly! Oh fool!" She was truly wise and I recognized her wisdom. Why then did I limp on, to my friend across the way - My friend who saw me come in tears and said, "It didn't work this time? Let's see, perhaps we can mend this wing- a feather here and there - Rest: we'll see what we can do." May I always have an open heart ... no matter how much it hurts.

We are not so much concerned with you losing control of such devices as we are that you may wish to do harm to yourself.... OK...so this frog walks into the First National Bank of Kymer looking for a loan to save up some tokens for his new turf. After a brief chat with the loan officer, Miss Paddywack, he fills out the required forms. When asked what he could offer as collateral, the frog put his trunk on the floor, opens it, takes out three small ornaments purch- ased from the V-Mart and places them on the desk before him. Miss Paddywack casts a suspicious eye over the trinkets and informs the frog she'll have to ask her supervisor about their value. A short time later, the Supervisor arrives on the scene, examines the ornaments carefully, looks up smiling and says: "Those are knickknacks, Paddywack...give the frog a loan." EDITOR'S NOTE: We DID warn you.... ========= DEPARTMENTS ========= === Seen on the Streets by Rosaleah with Marianne G Change is definitely in the air. JayVee's new look has everyone taking a double-take, checking the ID twice to make sure that's really him in the cat head. Acolyte Brynne has switched from a tomato to a lovely human head. Acolyte Tulip has been sporting a new purple tulip head for a while. BLD Quackers continues to experiment with her feathers ... the last time we saw her, we noted that she was trying out a beautiful shade of pink. And, of course, Acolyte Kari Stone has undergone a major change indeed, becoming the strikingly handsome panda, Acolyte Cerchen. Romance is in the air, too. Numerous paired avatars have been seen stationing themselves at the StarWay's Observation Deck for long periods of time ... gazing not at the stars out the window, but the ones in each other's eyes. The Rose Arbor continues to draw lovers, as well. And was that Acolyte Zippy who was seen doing some matchmaking at the Visitors Center? IMJATSE and Kurimi Ise seem to have hit it off well, too ... and are those wedding bells we hear in the distance for Passion and Brimble? We spotted Moon Star 2 From Omga carrying a camcorder around the streets. Is he a reporter for Omga TV? Hmmm ... wonder what the folks back on Omga think of the Kymerian goings-on? Did he catch Megret trying to teach Portnoy to fly? Portnoy did his best, but his medium build male body just couldn't quite lift off the ground the way Megret's athletic female body does. Perhaps a little more practice will do the trick. We certainly hope Omga didn't tape Cyberdog biting off a piece of Thorn's tomato head outside Isle Caribe the other night. No telling *what* the Omganians would think of that! Luckily for Thorn, Cyberdog wasn't able to pierce the skin. Not sure why, but Thorn said something about a stainless steel casing. Sure hope Cyberdog didn't loosen any teeth over it! In any event, tho, as Slan gently reminded him, he really shouldn't be playing with his food. ;) (^)(^) $ $ $ ADVERTISEMENTS $ $ $ (^)(^) (^) Announcement: Wedding of SunRay Love and SunRay Render by SunRay Render SunRay Love and SunRay Render are happy to announce their engagement and devotion for each other. They met one special Saturday night, February 27th, during a recent well-known event introduced by their favorite Oracle, Uni. The night was a culmination of the Romantic month in our fair community of Phantasus. Please join us for our wedding, Saturday, March 30, 1996 at a time to be announced later, for a truly magical evening. Oracle Uni will be performing the services in the Tabernacle. The reception will be held in Meditation Park's Rose Garden, immediately after the services. (^) Report: Wedding of Ali Quid, New Redwall Ferret to Roga Mae, New Redwall Ferret By Marianne G The wedding started with a statement by Ali Quid, the groom as follows: I would like to thank everybeast for coming. With everybeast here, 48 at the moment, Mae and I wish to remind everyone the reason we are here.... Last December, Mae and I eagerly awaited the news.. Would it happen? Really? We were excited... This was our Christmas present, then finally, the bill passed the state legislature, and then Gov. Weld signed it. On behalf of all ferrets, Thank you, Gov. Weld and the Mass. State Legislature. Now... Thank you for coming, and we begin.... On the ground for the ceremony were, not only the bride and groom, but also the best beast, Floppy Joe Ferret, Silver Pilgrim, who performed the ceremony and Maid of Honor Becca the horse. Also assisting were Sparkhawk, Acolyte Ravenwhyte, and Aisha and many others who know who they are. The bride and groom promised to love, honor, and stand by and comfort each other in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, (and not chew on Ali's neck so much)until death do they part. Then they exchanged keys pledging their undying love and devotion. As they repeated: "This is a symbol of the commitment of my heart, my life, and my shiny things" and Andy's socks, were also added to make it binding. All in all, it was one of the most memorable wedding I had ever been to! I'm sure the Bride and Groom would like to thank everyone who attended or were there with them in spirit.
