Where'd that issue go? ::sigh:: We missed one. All my own fault. So *this* week we have a double-dose of gaming reports. And apologies from me to the hosts for not getting things done on time. Things have been conspiring against me lately. I've been lighting candles in the Temple and fervently hoping for more Dreamtime, but, alas, the waking world will have its due and more. So it is with deepest regret that I retire from the circle of Editors of the Clarion, and set aside, as well, the red book that has been the symbol of my dedication to the workings of Morpheus. These have always been labors of love ... and I have loved every minute of it. And now on to the issue, before another week flies from the calendar without it! --Rosaleah ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections by Rosaleah ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Omigosh! Last issue, we had Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler married to Meridienne, instead of Meridien. Those two additional letters in the name make a big difference! They are two different people! ::whew:: Please send your congrats to MERIDIEN and Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler. Thank you, and our apologies! And while we were making boo-boos, we referred to letter writer Magier2890 as "she" instead of "he." Yes, one little letter, again, makes a big difference! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >>**|**<< >>**|**< LETTERS TO THE EDITOR >**|**<< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Good Work from Jevan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Just wanted to say thx for the fine job you all are doing. The paper gets better and always appears more professional. Politics are ceasing I notice and the reporting has gotten much better. Hey... idea maybe? How about having a reference file for all auction prices....? Dunno.... I'm into fair market value and such... Again tho... thx for your work...! Keep it up. YUYAY! Jevan. [reply: Thank you for the kind words, Jevan. We certainly do try to provide our readers with an interesting and informative newspaper. A reference file for all auction prices would be great to have. As the auctions grow in number and frequency, it would be quite a big job to gather all the info! Auction.database, anyone? ... A.R.] --------------------------------------------------------------------- You're Late! from Cosmocat --------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to know where this week's Clarion is. It is now very early Friday morning June 7, and it is still not in the forum library. There are other files that are dated June 6, so I doubt it was a sysop problem. If someone is sick or something, I'll forgive you. This time. But I have noticed that since last November, the Clarion comes out later and later and later. It used to be available for download after midnight Sunday night. Now I'm lucky if I can get it by Thursday afternoon. I think you should pick a day and stick with it. Period. The deadline for articles is Saturday at noon. So publish the Clarion on Sunday and upload it *before* the sysops get there so it'll be posted in the library. If that doesn't give you enough time, make the deadline earlier. My point is that your main competition, ESP!, is available *every* Sunday on time. Yes, I know it's new, but the Clarion was late even early in it's life as a publication. If you want to remain competitive, you've got to be in the competition. Get with it, guys. Re-organize, decide on what the unique aspects of your paper are, and work to make them better. The main reason people read your paper is for the event schedule. And that starts in the middle of the week right now. And it's usually inaccurate because your deadline is too far ahead. The puzzles are kind of fun, so keep them. But you really need to come up with some ideas for things that are not available elsewhere. Sorry I'm being so tough on you, but the quality of the Clarion has dropped way down. (Kind of like the Dreamscape.) I personally prefer ESP!, but since both publications are still free, I still read the Clarion. And I do like Milen's puzzles. But don't expect this cat to spend any tokens on the Clarion when inworld documents come out. But that won't be for awhile, so you're safe for now. ~Cosmocat [reply: Whew! You really rake us over the coals, Cosmocat. ::ouch!:: Waking world considerations have conspired against us lately, but it is true that the Clarion is due to be available for download on Wednesday of each week. We realize that the schedule doesn't do much good if it's not there on time, and we apologize for our recent lateness. Rest assured that it's being worked on so that the Clarion will be useful to all. As for competition, it is at least _this_ editor's sincerest hope that everyone will find something of interest to read in _every_ publication that will see the light of day in Phantasus ... either thru the Forum, or when documents finally find their way inworld. ..A.R.] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Menolly's Puzzle Corner by Menolly -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Following is the puzzle column intended for the issue of the Clarion that failed to make its appearance last week.) Here is the answer to last week's puzzle:- Knowing that *all* the box tops are incorrect then there are only two possible combinations that are valid. They are: BW=WW WW=BB BB=BW or BW=BB WW=BW BB=WW So, if you take one marble from the box marked BW then if it's white then the first combination is true and if it's black then the second is true. ------------------------------------------------------------ Now for this week's puzzle:- This is a logic puzzle, so it would be helpful to draw yourself a grid to help solve it. A question of Taste. --------------------------- Some of the wine experts on TV seem to become more and more extravagant in their descriptions. From the clues given below, can you work out how the five experts on recent occasions described the wines they had tasted and what unlikely taste they claimed to find in them? Clues: 1. Basil tasted one of the white wines , though not the one to which a taster attributed a banana flavour; but it was in one of the reds that a taster found " a subtle hint of saffron", though not in the red wine which a colleague delightedly called "rumbustious". 2. It was a woman expert who used the expression "vibrant", though this was not the woman who asserted that there was a distinctly sandalwood taste to her wine. 3. After a prolonged tasting ritual, Monty emerged from a trance to suggest that there was " a nuance of leather" in his wine, but Gloria did not find hers "brisk". 4. Neither Connie nor the taster of the German white suggested that the wine was "challenging". 5. Hector was not the man who passed judgement on the French red. 6. The expert who tasted the Italian white, having rummaged through his stock of phrases, finally pronounced it "cheeky", but he did not catch any suggestion of lavender in it. Names Wines Description ----------- ----- ------------------- Basil Bulgarian Red Brisk Connie French Red Challenging Gloria German White Cheeky Hector Italian White Rumbustious Monty Spanish White Vibrant Taste ------- Banana Lavender Leather Saffron Sandalwood Answer next week. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Journal of the Exploration of the East of Phantasus by Elly Jelly Kelly =================================================================== DAY 33====== After our swift exit from the Club 18-30 Archaeological sight (which some may call a sprint of blind panic) we found we had left the basin on the wrong side - putting us exactly on the other side of the basin from our original path home. This now put us in a difficult position. Should we re-cross the basin and risk meeting our dragon...or should we press on down the northern slope and return to Kymer via the longer route? I decided it was only fair we vote on it - and everyone voted we should re-cross the basin and take the shorter route. I overruled them - because I am the leader and I don't like dragons. DAY 35====== Made a fantastical discovery purely by accident today - while briefly encamping for tiffin. We had encamped in a nook beside the narrow ridge road across the mountain tops that we have been following for our return home. We had been there an hour, and were persuing our usual leisure activities. Most of the party had got out there GameBoys and ghetto blasters and were listening to heavy metal music (all except Topsy Bowels - who just sat staring into space - still in mourning for her murdered teddy). I had got out my whittling stick and was whittled a woggle whilst wassailing in a manly explorer sort of way. Forthero the Mule couldn't bear the noise and wandered over to the back of the nook to nibble some moss. All was blissful, until, just as I was getting to a tricky bit of my whittling, Forthero ESPed me suddenly - causing my hand to slip and hack off the bit that was to be the crucial bit off my woggle. Damn the beast, I muttered and ESPed back testily "What is it, ass?". "Mule" corrected Forthero, almost habitually, "You hungry?" "What a strange question...why?" I replied. "Only I pulled at a bit of moss and I have uncovered a pizza vendo" said Forthero innocently. Poor Forthero. He was wildly inexperienced in the ways of the city - and was probably horribly mistaken. He had told me on the journey up that he came from the Westward plains of Dreamscape - where he and others lived in wild herds of roaming Mulavatars - living off the fat of the land, and being beasts of burden to no-one. He had only applied for the advertised job "Explorer wants Mule" because he was saving up for a VCR and needed a part-time job. "Even roaming in wild herds and living off the fat of the land can get a bit dull sometimes" he explained. Anyway, I got up slowly - swearing to myself - and followed Forthero into the [Back of Nook] locale and preparing to give him a good telling off. .. The screen refreshed and.....I was aghast. Jeepers - it was the Meditation Park Picnic Vendo! I staggered for a bit, then circled it, and then tentatively viewed every item. No, I was definitely not mistaken. It was the right vendo alright - I even recognised the vampire-olyte graffiti on the back of it. Forthero chewed a fern, unaware and unconcerned. "I also found some fossilised footballs" he added after I stopped reeling and gasping - and he pointed a hoof to the opposite corner of the nook where a handful of large grey flaky THINGS lay. They ID-ed as "Egg". Then I suddenly remembered - and clapped my hands in joy!!!! ==== When I was in Africa many years ago, I was shown this fascinating wasp that dug a burrow, laid its eggs in it, then paralysed caterpillars with its sting and buried them alive with its eggs. The eggs would then hatch into grubs a few days later and eat their store of paralysed caterpillars - pupate, and emerge as wasps! This was exactly it! A dragon had been here - and dug out a hole in the mountain. There it had laid its eggs - and buried with them a supply of live food.....a vendo of Baby_bears! I told this to Forthero and he was nearly sick... ==== Within ten minutes more - I had assembled my team in the [Back of the nook] locale and we debated what we should do. "Stomp on 'em until they ooze!" called out one. Forthero objected on the grounds that Dragons were endangered species. "Run away" suggested another. I was particularly in favour of this one and was prepared to forward the motion. "Ooooh! Let me have one!" called out Topsy Bowels. And she rushed forward and grabbed one of the eggs, which she then clutched to her breast and started to rock tenderly. "Er...Topsy?" I said, "What are you doing?". Topsy muttered a few incomprehensible sounds to the egg like "Iz oo baby warm den? Iz oo ickle baby going to beddie bye byes den?", etc. and neither Forthero or I could work out what she said. We then all tried to persuade her to let go off the egg. First she stomped and shouted, then she wept inconsolably, and finally she outright refused - and there was absolutely nothing we could do. We encamped for the night, while I pondered a way out of this predicament. DAY 36====== Topsy Bowels has been allowed to keep her egg. It seems to give her security and we need to take at least one back to the city to perform horrible and unethical experiments on. I have also secretly stowed two more in a tissue lined hearts chest in my pocket. The rest have been left - with the vendo, which we cannot of course move. Everyone has had an opportunity to replace their teddies. DAY 38====== Owing to accidentally hitting a scree patch in a foggy spell - we have now descended the mountain much more quickly that we could ever have hoped (tho we are all a little ragged now and one of the dogolytes has developed a speech impediment). We are now camped on a wide beach under high cliffs on the eastward side of the mountains. The weather is splendid and the only shame is that there are no do-nut or ice-cream stands, else our paradise would be complete. We are going to stay for a few days upon request of Topsy Bowels DAY 42==== Woke up this morning to find Topsy Bowels gone and the shell of the egg she was carrying strewn over the beach. We hunted the beach and surround area for pieces of Topsy and found nothing. Then we had a touching little burial service for her and planted a headstone in the sand, and we spent the rest of the day in mourning. It was late evening when Forthero suggested we go through her possessions to check for relatives addresses, wills, etc. I agreed. However, when we opened her chest, we found, to our surprise, that it was empty except a note: "Dear Sir Fortisquew Sir; By the time you read this I shall be adrift many miles out in the ocean with Morris (my Dragon). I knew the minute I first held him that you would try to take him away from me, and when he finally hatched last night and looked up at me with his big red eyes - I knew we could never be parted. So, I have built a raft and struck out to sea. We shall find an island and live together forever. I will teach him to be vegetarian. Thank you for a lovely trip. Topsy" I pinned it to her headstone on the beach, and we left a bouquet of flowers beside it just before we left the next morning. Forthero estimates we shall be home within a fortnight. Personally, I think I shall be glad to be home. ==========to be continued===== -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Discovery by Marianne G -------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: In Issue 42 of the KYMER CLARION, we brought you THE ARRIVAL. The story continues in this issue, as the stranger tries to piece her memory together and find out where she came from and where she is now.... Looking around the only familiar sight she had seen so far, (the CHOKE machine), she noted a tiny label on the side of the machine. Peering closely, she read: "Property of Marianne G". An alarm went off in her aching head.... Marianne G! I know that name.... I know that Islander.... Islander.... are we on an Island? Were we on an Island? Her head just ached the more she tried to put it all together. Defeated, she slumped to the floor, and, leaning back against the CHOKE Machine, she fell into a troubled sleep..... Marianne G checked out the ice pack she had put into her new picnic basket. Yep, that would work to keep her CHOKE cold on the way home from the impound area. Submitting herself to the sensor that checked everyone entering or leaving the impound area, she made her way to where her baby was waiting for her daily visit. What was that raggidy thing at the foot of her CHOKE?? It was bigger then ferrets. Coming closer, she wondered if she should go and get help before she approached the object. Maybe it would be safer.... Seeing the impounded Chest with the Notice on it, PROPERTY OF QCC SERENA ONLY! DANGER! DO NOT OPEN! she took the time to use the copy of the key she had, to get a stun gun out of the chest. This was the impound area.... it would work out here! Approaching her CHOKE Machine carefully, she nugged the slumping figure with her toe, as she kept the stun gun on target. The person slumped over to the floor and her face became visable. With a cry of recognition, Marianne G dropped to the ground to embrace the un- conscious figure. Laying the stun gun to the side, she took out one of the special tokens, and bought herself a CHOKE. Easing the other person into a sitting position, she carefully eased some of the CHOKE down her throat. All it took was one sip of the magic elixir to bring the other around and able to grab the can to chug more of the CHOKE down her throat.... As THE BOOK OF CHOKE teaches us, CHOKE is the reason for life... Finishing the CHOKE, the stranger looked at the one who had rescued her, and that bell of recognition went off in her head again... but something was wrong, the person in front of her was missing something. She was missing a Ponytail! Yes, the skull head should be a ponytail head! Smiling at her, the Skull head welcomed her to Kymer. Who is this stranger? When will we find out? When will she make it into the city? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Council of the Krewe of Duckolytes Meets, Ratifies Wing Appointments by Disco Duck, Wing, Special Projects -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Council of the Krewe of Duckolytes met on Wednesday, June 5, to ratify existing appointments of Duckolyte Wings and to discuss other staffing matters. The Council of the Krewe consists of the Wing Commander, and the Senior Wings. Each Senior Wing is a leader on the policy-making level, who is responsible for formulating and executing the policies necessary to implement the Constitution and Bylaws of the Krewe of the Duckolytes. Each Senior Wing is also a manager, and is primarily responsible for training and facilitating the efforts of two related Floats, each of which is supervised by a Wing. A Wing is a Duckolyte leader who is responsible for recruiting personnel, delegating responsibilities, and coordinating the tasks assigned to a Float, or standing committee, within the Krewe of Duckolytes. Wings report to Senior Wings who, in turn, report to the Council of the Krewe. The name of each Float and a brief description of its mission follows. Immediately behind the dash is the name of the Wing responsible for coordinating the activities of the float. In brackets behind the name of the Wing is the name of the Senior Wing responsible for training and facilitation. Krewe Quackers (database and member information) - Melissa T. [Mark] Kymer Quackers (public relations and media) - Disco Duck [Mark] Hatchling Float (member recruiting) - Indica [Askani] World WideWebfoot (homepage maintenance) - LongWalk [Jimi] Binary Feathers (programming, macros) - Unga-Bunga [Jimi] Feathered Vagabonds (fund-raising) - Proud Feather [Jimi] Festival (special events, non-recurring) - Dark Sun & TeaPot [LumMoose] Fledgling(new member training) - John Whiz [Askani] Scrooge McDuckolytes (treasury, finance) - LumMoose [LumMoose] MightyDucks (security personnel, training) - Ropes [Raptor] Casino (games of chance other than bingo) - Leadman [Renegade] Bingo (existing and new kinds of bingo games) - Open [Renegade] Ducky Hucksters (Duckolyte Benefit Auction) - Larry Lamb [Raptor] Feathered Friends (Avatar Assistance) - 502 [Askani] In addition to the Wings responsible for Float activities, there are two Wings who are are tasked by the Council of the Krewe and who report to the Wing Commander or to the Council. Their titles, responsibilities, names, and those to whom they report follow: Wing Liaison Officer (intergroup cooperation) - Artema (Wing Commander) Wing Special Projects (administrative assistant) - Disco Duck (Council of the Krewe) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SunRays Sponsor Creation Myths by SunRay Knight Launce ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dreamcape is a place where we can walk, and talk, laugh and play. It is a place where there is fun and games. It is a place that has history and culture. The island of Kymer is what formerly was known as the Isle of Reverie and has a rich history that is yet to be discovered. It is our purpose with the Sunray Creation Myth contest to develop a mythology for the Knights of Kymer. Mythology and Religion is of great importance to all cultures. The Dreamscape is no different. The devoloping of myths and the storytelling of Kymer's history are only the first steps in creating a deep and everlasting place for our existence. Mythology gives the people something to bond themselves to their land. The Ancient Greeks were deep believers in the Olympian gods and gave themselves a common tie between all their peoples. With the Sunray Creation Myth we hope to have a 'composite myth' that will give the people something more to add to the mystique of this place we call Phantasus. We hope to begin a trend that will bring forth new myths that will give our community tremendous depth in our history and culture. A community is only what the people make it, we have the goal in mind to create its history so the Dreamscape can be truly ours, past, present, and future. The Procedure for entering this contest is simple, just sit down at your computer and create a story about the Knights of Kymer and how they came to be in Kymer, and send the entry to Sunray QT Pie for judging. There will be a panel of 7 judges that will do the preliminary Judging. The top 3 entries as Judged by these 7 will then be judged by Acolyte Sunray Indigo, and Oracle Uni. Below is a sample starting point for the myth, feel free to use this example as the beginning of your story, or create something totally different. Sunray Creation Myth... It was night, and the only light in the skies were the heavenly stars glistening about. Then from among the shadows a new light could be seen emerging from the darkness. It was a great light that shone greater than the sun , and from that light a figure could be seen walking. This figure was incredibly strong, and wise, he walked from the light in such a manner that his wonderously Golden Armor reflected the bright light. This figure continued to walk away from the origin of the light until the light could no longer be seen. He could see because of his armor that still had the light emantaing from it. In the distance he saw a harbor, and at the harbor a city. The man decided to go forth. As the man walked through the front gates the light of his armor shone brightly and brought light to this dark town. People looked out of their windows and doors, who was this stranger? What is this light that is shining so brightly?? The answers to these questions are awaiting to be written. Your creativity is waiting to come out in the form of a Sunray Creation Myth. Please continue this story or start with your own beginning and submit the story to Sunray QT Pie at 101460,1112 by June 19th. The winning entry shall recieve a very nice rare prize, at the presentations of awards on June 29th.

Everyone won something every game. There were even free tokens given to the early comers. We had a minor hick-up with the host program (which has been fixed), but that only delayed things for a couple of minutes. The players also had many good suggestions for improvements to the player program. These have been reported to the programmer, so look for updates in the future. White Hawk Roulette is currently scheduled for Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11:45am till about 1:00pm. Any unexpected exceptions to this will be reported in the In-World events in the forum. White Hawk's Roulette Player Program can be downloaded from the Plug-ins library in the forum. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TRIVIA CHALLENGE: Rules and Winners by Megret ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trivia challenge is the Trivia game which is *not* multiple guess, you actually have to know the answers. It costs nothing to play, since it is sponsored by some very loving, caring, and relatively wealthy people who want to help make Kymer a happier place. (All donations of cash or rare items, gratefully accepted -- the cash goes to the Acolytes who buy rare items at their secret machine. ANY donations are guaranteed to go to the game winners.) BUT -- I have learned some things in the past month that I've been hosting the game. The game begins as soon as Megret's Madhouse opens: the first 5 people to get there get to be on the floor (thus collecting the 60T per hour) for the first set of door prizes and the first 10 questions of the game. I hope that, if you are one of the first five to arrive, you'll talk to the ghosts to find out who is there, and join in the conversation until enough have arrived to begin door prizes. I will probably not *appear* to be present when you arrive, since I am busy sending ESPs to assorted friends, asking them to PLEASE not ESP me while I'm hosting, and sending out ESPs to people on my "strangers" list telling them of the impending game. Door prizes are first. To enter the door prize drawing, I ask you to ESP me the word HI, which is then picked up by a program that Wert hands out to his hosts. I punch a button, the program pops out the name of the winner. I *do not* just choose a door prize winner on my own -- I don't have time, it wouldn't be fair, and the door prize program is a wonderful gift to hosts! Then the game begins and you have to register to enter -- again, this is part of the engine that scores the game, and PLEASE do not ESP comments to me during the prelude! When asked, you ESP a $ (that's a capitalized number 4 on your keyboard.) That is the ONLY symbol that will get you entered in the game! If you don't know how to ESP, or have other questions, there is always one person on the floor (the person I hand the door prizes to) who is my designated assistant for the evening. Then we PLAY! And the questions begin. I try to move as fast as possible, though I will not start the countdown until I have at least three right answers. (Or I've given every hint I can think of, and there still aren't three right answers) I will NOT tell you, via ESP or any other method, whether your answer is right or wrong. And *just* asking me, AM I RIGHT?" or sending me ANY other comment, immediately eliminates your answer, and replaces it with the comment, guaranteeing that your answer will be wrong! I *do* give HINTS, if there are fewer than 3 people with the right answer. Then I score the questions... You see me staring blankly off into space at this point ... Sometimes for a long time, sometimes for a very short time. What *I* see is a screen with a list of the LAST thing everyone ESPed to me... But there are no names attached to those answers, no way to know who's point goes with what answer. I manually click on the answers on MY screen, to designate right or wrong. ONLY if it's obvious that English is not someone's native language, yet I strongly suspect they may be right -- ONLY then -- I *may* leave the scoring engine, and be "with" everyone long enough to scroll back and find that particular answer and the person who said it, and ask them to ESP me a definition (that's when I am blankly standing there for so long...) Then, with another click of the button on my screen, the correct answer pops up, the scores for that question are given and we move right into the next question. At halftime, there are more door prizes and we run current total scores for everyone. Those with the LOWEST scores get to be ground standers (thus earning the 60T per hour) during the second half. And we play another ten questions. Then, if there is a tie, I change the rules on you -- suddenly timing counts. ONLY those who are tied play the tie breakers. Since being the first one with the correct answer is worth 4 points, this is a very fast way to break any ties... Of course, we've only had a tie twice in the month I've been hosting ... I don't call it Trivia ***Challenge*** for no reason... On the other hand, I do try to make sure most people can at least guess most answers, but sometimes you really have to think! Anyhow, the winners for the past week were: Monday - 7 PM WAT Kira chose the Mystery chest, and won a head painted in rare colors and matching body paint Sligor took the Rosehead, painted with rare paint Golden Knight Mysti3 won the fern and, due to some unusual circumstances, Photon got a fern, coming in fourth. Tuesday - 4:30 PM WAT Mary Mary won a Rosehead, painted with rare paint Sligor chose the Mystery Chest which contained 2 snowballs and an empty can of paint. Golden Knight Myst2 won another fern Wednesday - 7:30 PM WAT We ended late, and I had to dash off before I got a chance to write down the winners. When one has a hungry raccoon nibbling on one's ear, getting the "baby's" bottle is a lot more important than writing down the winners! On Thursday night we had a spontaneous game around 8:15 PM WAT Swiftest Mage chose the Valentine Julianna choose the Mystery Chest, but didn't open it, so even I don't know which one she got! PhishHead also chose a Mystery Chest, containing a Martian head, painted rare, with matching body paint. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Duckolyte Raffle! by Brains, Wing Commander ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a chance at some great rare items!

Normally, hosts don't do this, as it tends to cut down on players who show up for your event, but this is CHAOS, Inc, and we do things very differently. By the way, we invite everyone who has a taste for fun, for the non-normal, for the chaotic, to check us out every Thursday at 5 PM WAT at the turf Dreamland. Yep, that's also the turf used for Mondays and Fridays Ghost Racing so those regulars should feel right at home. Now, for the event... actually, we gave our players a chance to act out their various deaths, while the other players asked questions to try and guess what happened. Norbix went first, in a car crash, and JayVee was the first to figure out it was due to his Sun Glasses being stolen! Pimpette strangled herself with Rawhide, Kira died in a locked car during childbirth, and Darkhorse was buried alive. True, it may be a tad morbid. Perhaps I should let them stick with just regular mysteries and leave the deaths for October, the month of Halloween. Or maybe we should get ready for a head race that can be spread over more than one region.... A four room turf is good for that..... a 10 room or more would be even better! With furniture you can hide items in.... if we had bottles you could fill at the fountain we could have a bottle race.... No, no, we'll just have to work with what we have and plan for the future. Oh, the winners! Top four were Kira, third place to Pimpette, Second to Darkhorse and top honor to JayVee! We also would like to report that all contestants are recovering nicely. ----------------------------------------------------------------------Worlds of Fortune Recap - June 4, 1996 by Acolyte Data ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Worlds of Fortune is held at a Turf inside the APARTMENT BUILDING on TEMPLE STREET (3 locales left of the Magic Shop).

Bionic Woman -------------------------------------------------------------------- EDITORS NOTE: In May, the Bloodline ran an event one night called Match MAYkers, based on the old TV Show, The Dating Game. We kept the contestants up in clouds till they could be seperated, so no one knew who was asking the question, or answering, (as they were relayed by the hosts) until the choice of date were made. We asked the contestants that played to write up their experiences, and following is the second we are presenting in the CLARION. We are doing them in the order they came in, if you haven't sent yours in yet, please do... amazingly, we now get to hear Bionic Womans side of the date she went on with Freud! (His side was given last week). :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: On a lark, I popped into the MatchMAYkers "Dating Game" turf just to watch, thinking it'd be a laugh or two. Marianne G was hosting, assisted by Acolyte BLD Stalker and BLD Quackers. While watching the participants who asked questions of three avatars hidden in another room, I got caught up in the fun and esp'd Marianne to see if I could join in. She arranged for me to ask questions of three hidden bachelors. I asked them all four questions, and they all answered so well it was hard to make a choice. The two I did not select were brought out first. They were very gracious, and each was presented with a rare item. Finally, the bachelor I chose came out -- a charming fellow named Freud. Acolyte BLD Stalker escorted us to the special date location -- The Tunnel of Love. Wow! What a surprise! It was a 3-room turf made to look like a waterway throughout, and was decorated with rare items such as ferns, rose heads, heart heads, heart chests, and Kymer Komfort. We were told we could split the items and keep them! Stalker then left, and Freud and I had a great time talking and exploring the turf. He turned out to be a very intelligent and interesting guy, and I invited him to esp me anytime he's inworld. I'd recommend MatchMAYkers to anyone!

The days are getting long so here's a poem that'll suit it perfectly: "Days" ------- They come, they wake us Time and time over. They are to be happy in: Where can we live but days? Ah, solving that question Brings the priest and the doctor In their long coats Running over the fields That was a short poem, so here's one about nothing : ) "Rain" ------- I put my mouth Close to running water: Flow north, flow south, It will nat matter, It is not love you will find. I told the wind: It took away my words: It is not love you will find, Only the bright-tongued birds, Only a moon with no home. It is not love you will find: You have no limbs Srying for stillness, you have no mind Trembling with seraphim, You have no death to come. Keep those poems comin'!
