Acolyte VIQer.. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> For quite some time, I was on leave of absence from the dreamscape. Turfs have remained the popular place for everyone to go.... What's happened to all the gatherings in the streets we used to see? Perhaps many folks feel safer in their turfs.. I prefer to get out there and see the city. You'll still find me hanging around the helpdesk, answering questions and helping our new arrivals get adjusted to their surroundings. For me, very little has changed about my feelings for Phantasus....... On another note, Milen commented last week about how we miss our former editor Rosaleah. I'd like to add that she was actually the "founder" of this idea, the Kymer Clarion. It's in that respect that I'll always see her. We met at the WA gathering and she was writing notes as things were happening there. Hopefully she'll continue to throw us contributions to add here and there.. Rosie, already we miss ya!! Don't forget what you started here....... VIQer.... <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Letter To The Editor Oracle Teresias <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Dear Editor, This is just a brief note about some comments I recently made regarding the rotation of head in head machines. I was recently quoted as saying that beta heads will be recycled back in to head machines. I was extremely busy at the time and the answer was brief and I was not asked for further clarification. Let me provide that clarification for anyone interested. It is true that beta heads will be put back in to head machines during the existence of the Dreamscape. This does not mean that the upcoming rotation of heads will be exclusively nor even mostly beta heads. Out of the roughly 16 - 20 heads which will replace current heads, there is a chance that *one* of those heads might be a beta head. The rest will be either new or may have been previous prize heads. I wish to make it clear that we never promised that heads would have limited distribution nor are we purposefully driving the rarity of specific heads. Heads we make available for distribution in the vendos will be because of a desire to increase the variety of heads in the Dreamscape and to give people a chance to have some of the heads which are indeed rare, but very, very cool and very, very fun. Those who chase rare heads for their token worth alone run the risk which most investments have - going bust. I hope that everyone will enjoy the new and the old heads in their own way. Sincerely, Oracle Teresias <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> HELP WANTED! By CLARION Staff <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The CLARION is now accepting applications for two, currently non paying positions. We would like anyone interested in becoming part of our publication, to let us know! Send your application to us at 72007,221 if you are interested in the following two positions or in just becoming a reporter for us. The two positions we would like to fill are those of Schedule Co- ordinator and Advertisement Co-ordinator. The two positions are basically full time staff positions, and you would not be required, unless you felt comfortable taking on more, to do other reporting functions. The Schedule Co-ordinator would be responsible for maintaining a listing of the current event schedule, receiving events from the avatars, contacting avatars for updated events, and providing the schedule to the rotating editor for that week for publication in the CLARION. The Advertisement Co-ordinator would be responsible for maintaining the advertisement section of the CLARION, updating that section, and editing incoming ads for space. If you are interested in these, or other positions, please contact us at 72007,221 and thank you for your interest. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Head Rotation By Oracle Vaserius and Oracle Teresias <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Event: Head Rotation Date: Thursday, July 18th Time: 5:00pm (NuYu closed at 3:00pm) WAT Place: NuYu Hosts: Oracle Vaserius and Oracle Teresias Desc: At 3:00pm, the NuYu will closed for two hours while Temple Stewards rotate the stock of heads. Avatars in the NuYu at 3:00pm will be asked to leave while the work is being done. At least 1 head in every vendo will be replaced, and one entire head machine will be re- placed. At 5:00pm, Oracles Vaserius and Teresias will re-open the NuYu to the public. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The VoCC (Victims of Crimes and Crashes) Mission An Overview of Purpose By Sunray Fawn and Acolyte Sunray Indigo <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> It is amazing! The VoCC has given over 48,000 Tokens as compensation and replacement to Avatars who have experienced the wronged side of crimes and crashes in Worlds Away. And that figure does NOT include the items and heads (both rare and vendo-available) that have been replaced. The weekly Sunray Auction which supports the VoCC is propelled by a strong force. It creates a wave of self-help and mutual support throughout the Dreamscape without addressing the criminals. And it offers support to the Oracles (who are besieged enough with work to make the Dreamscape better for us), by compensating some of the losses experienced during crashes - though they are more than willing to do so. We shall continue our efforts until the counter force of crime is pushed back upon itself. We are not indicting or punishing; we are providing a safe environment for the victim in the face of immoral acts and crime. I have wanted to write about this endeavor for weeks. Recently I was robbed of everything I owned during a Sunray Auction due to an innocent and accidental slip in security. There was an incredible wave of compassion that followed the moment of helpless horror that I fell victim to. This care and support was like a wave that washed over the negativity and I was left with a feeling of safety. Render and Pal Joey would not leave my side, selflessly handling the majority of esps that I could not answer . Pal Joey and Oceanfront were the epitome of clear thinking in a panic situation. They sought out the network of possible causes, and then tracked and retrieved the stolen goods that night. Although in my story, the theft itself was solved, I retell it here because I want to convey the deep personal shock and horror of being violated this way. We truly cannot imagine what it feels like until it actually happens. The VoCC has been borne out of the vision and promise that we can help one another recover from such personal devastation. We reach out and can help one another more effectively than trying to rehabilitate those lost misguided avatars who commit the crime and who don't want to be helped. Support our effort if you can by attending our Auctions every Friday night at 5:00 p.m. WAT in the Sunray Auction turf. But be assured that whether you attend our auctions or not, whether you donate or not, you may always call upon us for help and compensation. You will be supported and not left alone if the fates cause your path to cross the ill intentions of another misguided avatar or an unexpected crash. The purpose and intention of VoCC follows the very simple wisdom of an ancient saying, "Love Conquers All," which we have all heard but not necessarily witnessed in action. This endeavor in Kymer is an effort to make that truth become a living one. Thank you. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Duckolyte Security School By Disco Duck, Wing Special Projects <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> It's not too late to enroll in Duckolyte Security School, which will hold its fourth session on Sunday, July 14, at 1:00 p.m. in the turf "Duck School". The Duckolytes who plan, coordinate, and conduct the training sessions are: Ropes Pajo, Duckolyte Wing, Duckolyte Princess Di Pajo, Duckolyte Nostromo Richmar, and Duckolyte Bobbi Richmar. The goal of the Security School is educating both new and experienced avatars about item handling, container security, turf security, and all the other skills that help make inworld experiences both safer and more enjoyable. Duckolyte Security School meets every Sunday, so that avatars will have the opportunity to practice their skills and to learn new ones. To make each training session more fun, prizes are offered for partici- pants. These training sessions are offered to all avatars, free of charge. We hope to see you there! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> I Dreamed I saw...... By Marianne G <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> What has happened to our ability to dream? We need to keep it alive and fresh. We need to see more dreams positivly presented in the forum messages, in the newspapers, and on the lips of avatars. We need to keep the dreams active and alive and thought about. So, let me share some of my dreams with you..... and I won't even mention CHOKE or ponytails :D I dreamed I saw a window on my turf wall.... I found out that the three and four room turfs looked out over Meditation park, and the one and two room turfs looked out over the jungle. What a view we all had to look out over! I dreamed that there was a teleport with the address Temple Turfs one region West of the Apartment Building entrance. I also saw an ATM Machine one region East of the that entrance. I dreamed I took the elevator to the roof, where a special key gave me access to the Turf fitness and Pool Center..... ahhhh that sauna feels good followed by a whirlpool ..... or perhaps some laps in the pool followed by a workout and a massage..... decisions, decisions... I look pretty good in my red one piece swim suit. Opps... hit something wrong.... went down to the cellar.... storage area here? Geesh, each apartment has a locked area for storage? Where do I get my key? Turf Engineer's Office? Is that a janitor? SO That's where they are hiding the CHOKE Machines! In the basement! (Ok, ok.... I tried!) That is part of my dream, I'm sure you all have yours. So lets share them and let them prosper! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> UPWARD By Hamlet & Friends <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> UPWARD stands for United Pets of Worlds Away Reach for the Dream and my name is Hamlet. Some of you I have met.... I am Marianne G's pet, or she is mine. Sometimes it's hard to tell. I am just a regular skeleton who has choosen to spend my life with her, and our other companions. Perhaps you have met them also. Alexander, her pet guard spider, who runs all over the turf, No_Name her pet Torgy Teddy who won his name at the recent Teddy Bear Picnic, and Create, her pet Baby Bear who finally decided on the name he was already engraved with. No accounting for taste. Anyway, most of the time, we live in peace in our own chest in the turf or in her pocket. We get along fine among ourselves, and we're always happy when Marianne G brings home new friends for us. Now.... bout that Teddy Bear Picnic. Seems that the teddies had a picnic, and one of the prizes were 10 teddies were chossen to have their names engraved on their bodies. Now the mean part.... ONLY TEDDIES NEED APPLY! Yes, you heard it, only teddies were allowed to win that honour. Well, in the words of the song, What about me? It isn't fair, I've had enough now I want my share.... Am I not bone? Do I not have feelings? I do! Alexander does! And many of your pets, which are NON-Teddies out there also should have the same rights of a chance to win our names. A chance to be celebrated for our unique qualities. An opportunity to strut our stuff and display our abilities. Perhaps you have a pet fern that sings, a canary that does acrobatics, a fuzzie that is a good listener. Perhaps they are not even talented, but they like to meet other pets. Shouldn't we have the chance to be seen? Shouldn't all pets, no matter what type, size, pixel config be allowed to be part of the dream? If you agree with us, then get that pet avatar of yours to read this and respond! Remember: United Pets of Worlds Away Reach for the Dream! Tell us that you want to have a party also. Tell us you want pets of all types to be able to meet, talk, play games, and get the chance to win their names engraved. Have your avatar send EMail to 72007,221 and tell them which pets you want represented. Have your avatar tell our Avatar what makes you special and which tricks you can amaze others with. We want anything from Poetry and Prose Reading (my choice) to tricks to guard abilities, etc.... Don't let your avatar take you for granted! Oh yes, we also allow Teddies to join our group.... we don't believe in any type of pixel discrimination. --_^+^_-- GAMES AND GAMING --_^+^_-- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Duckolyte Benefit Auction - July 3rd By Larry Lamb, Duckolyte Wing <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> This was a huge week for the Duckolyte Benefit Auction. We had several very rare items up for sale this week and even though 2 of them didn't sell we still had a great auction. Look for the Red Christmas Light Ornament and the Tulip Head to be back next week. They have a 10K and 20K minimum respectively but we will work on getting that down a little bit since no one really seems interested at the current prices. Our thanks to our special guest helpers for this week, Wild Flower and Acolyte Brynne. We really appreciate the time that they took to put on a good show for all of our patrons.

The topic was Duck Soup, with not one doggy question in the lot. Extra door prizes were given to soothe the ruffled feathers of those who wanted to put Brains in the soup for having forgotten to give the door prizes to Larry Lamb last week. The competition was especially keen, with winners having been decided based upon the last few questions. No tie breaker was required. Winners for the week were: First Place: TexWilly Wonka, who won a rare colored rose head with matching paints packed in a heart chest; Second Place: Izabella, who won a rare colored lacy heart head with matching paints packed in a heart chest; Third Place: Jadelin, who won a rare colored duck head with matching paints packed in a heart chest; Fourth Place: Meridienne, who won a fern. The Monthly Champion is determined by weekly winners using the following point system: 1st Place = 5 Points 2nd Place = 3 Points 3rd Place = 2 Points 4th Place = 1 Point The monthly winners received some very special prizes: 1st - Julie S. was awarded an engraved Smiley Head, "Duckolyte Trivia Champ -6/96" 2nd - Meridienne received an Xmas Elf Head; 3rd - TexWilly Wonka received a Gingerbread Head. Be sure to join the other contestants with agile minds and fleet fingers at 7:00 p.m. on Sundays in the turf "Duck Hunt". <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Monday Ghost Racing - July 8th By Acolyte Serena <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Today we gave away the first prize in our Christmas in July Celebration. I was asked why we don't have more then one special prize per race to go for. Actually, it's a combination of packing only for two hosts at the time the items were available (and now we have three ghost races each week) and some of the items stocked away are STILL in vendos. I never was that good at guessing. But we do hope that you all enjoy the special items we do have spread between the three hosts and the games we bring to you. At the race on the 8th, we also introduced the Try Your Luck Ghost Race where the ornament was awarded. All racers who had NOT won their limit raced for a box, one box each, and then they were opened to see if they had a token or two, or were empties. Necrolyte SKY TOWER had the box with one token and won a ghost race point and 100 Tokens for that, and April May June had two tokens in her box, which won her the ornament, (see GR070896.GIF in Newstand Forum Library) and a ghost race win point. Race results are: 1) Briar Hamadryad - 50T 2) Actionizer - Flowers in Vase 3) Briar Hamadryad - 50T 4) Imagination - snowball 5) Kira - 50T 6) Kira - Chill Pill 7) Actionizer - 50T 8) April May June - Cyber Chick w/ non-vendo hair and eye color 9) Necrolyte SKY TOWER - 100T 10) April May June - Christmas Ornament 11) Skandranon - cough drop 12) Skandranon - 100T So far, leading the month of Monday Racers with four wins are Kira, Actionizer, and Skandranon. As a reminder, if you have changed your .dat files with any of the patches to make you GET without moving, or other unauthorized patches, then you can not race at the races with those changed files. You must change back to the original files to race. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Friday Ghost Racing - July 3rd By Darkhorse <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> With the July 4th U.S. holiday I had to reschedule Friday the 5th races for Wednesday the 3rd. I had 5 racers who showed up which made the races for them quite easy. Each won their 2 races aloud. Because of the lack of racers I ran a handful of races afterward that didn't count for this months standings. Race #1: Pizza...............................Elektronuat #2:Flowers..............................Jet Duke #3:Pic-in-ic_Basket.....................Electronaut #4: Non Venroid Steel Paint Set.........Sh@dow #5:Non venroid Steel Rose Head..........Jet Duke #6:100 tokens...........................Damia #7:Jungle_fruit.........................Damia #8:Hot_Chocolate........................@Darksun@, Duckolyte Wing #9:100 tokens...........................Sh@dow #10:Boo-Boo_Bear.........................@Darksun@, Duckolyte Wing The Races will continue as usual the rest of the month hopefully, and for this month there is a theme of Christmas in July where I will be giving away items that are from Christmas, Ornaments, Snowballs etc. Join us won't you? There are full rules which can be found in the forum. ATTENTION: I will not allow any racer to use the modified DAT file that allows an avatar to get things without walking to them so please if you want to race, reinstall the original DAT file. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> MENOLLY'S PUZZLE CORNER By Menolly <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Here are the answers to last week's puzzles:- 1.

We have moved to Friday nights at 5:00 p.m. WAT in the same turf: Sunray Auction. All proceeds are paid out to the victims of crimes and crashes (VoCC). Anyone desiring additional information on applying for assistance from this fund may contact Sunray Fawn, SunRay Render, Acolyte Sunray Indigo, and myself. While the attendance was low and some items went for much lower than market value, this week's auction was a success. The following list is the results for Friday July 5th: Item Purchaser Price ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Rose Vase Sir Lance 850 Snowball Sunray LumMoose 350 Green 45 Lil' Angel 1,300 Gold 40 Mufasa 1,350 Teresa_head* Duckolyte Alien 2,800 Gingerbread House Sunray Indigo, GK 9,000 Christmas Elf Head Duckolyte Alien 18,000 Black paint (pair) Mufasa 2,750 Trick_or_Treat Bag Lil' Angel 3,600 ----------- Total: 40,000T Donations: Golden Warrior - GK, SrK - Snowball Sunray Mariah - 4,427 Ts <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> WARaffle Results - July 6th By Acolyte Lynx <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Well since the server crashed, we held the drawing in the avatars' lounge.... 1st Place winning 4600 Tokens....Dedanann 2nd Place winning 2300 Tokens....Mc Duck 3rd Place winning 1380 Tokens....Caro 4th Place winning 920 Tokens.....Friendolyte Jedi Next weeks drawing is Saturday at 5pm WAT <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Duckolyte Raffle Winners - July 3rd By Disco Duck, Wing Special Projects <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The Krewe of Duckolytes Raffle is one of the best-kept secrets in Kymer. There is no special software to download and run, tickets are only twenty tokens each, and can be obtained very easily, because most Duckolyte Wings and Senior Wings sell these tickets. One or more authorized ticket sellers is usually inworld, so the next time you visit the City of Phantasus, be sure to ask a Duckolyte officer about raffle tickets. Winners are drawn after the first Duckolyte Benefit Auction each month. The auction is held on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the turf "Duck Hunt". This month's winners, the winning number, and the prizes were: Megret, third place with number 198, won a vase of flowers; HeartFlame, Fire Elf King, second place with number 265, won a Lacy Heart Head and a Trumpet ornament; Golden Knight IMPERATOR SB was the first place winner with number 102. His prize was a heart chest containing a rose head painted with a rare color and a full can of matching body paint. Those are big rewards for a twenty-token investment, so don't miss out. Be sure to get your tickets for next month's raffle today. OK, that was the GOOD news . . . now here is the BAD news. Participation in the raffle has been so low in recent months that the Krewe of the Duckolytes is evaluating whether or not to continue the raffle beyond August. Every ticket you buy is a vote for the Krewe to continue this raffle, and to provide more fun and more benefits for Kymer citizens. Don't let this fine, fun event die! Visit the city and buy your ticket from a Duckolyte Wing or Senior Wing today! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Trivia Challenge at Megret's Madhouse - 1st Week of July By Megret <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> First the *BIG* news: GK-Astra-West is bringing Wert's Head in on Monday Night to mount above our fireplace, in loving memory of every bug (fixed or otherwise) that we've encountered using Wert's Trivia Challenge Host Program. She will be presented with the candy cane, provided by Wert. My thanks to all the Bounty Hunters and Head Hunters! Monday, July 1st We had 23 players and another very close game. Wart hung on to the lead until the very end, when we had to go to a speed tie breaker. As a result, "Ink Cannery Girl" came in first with 18 points, and took the rose head, "Hi, I'm Julianna" came in second with 17 points and took a valentine, while Wart took third, winning a Metal Man head painted with very unique colors. (Thanks to the Mages, who were using Turf paint last week to paint heads.) Tuesday, July 2nd We had only 11 players, but it was a tough night. Rogils came in first with only 15 points, Sunray Sir Launce came in second with 14 points, and Io came in 3rd with 13 points. Wednesday, July 3rd We only had twelve players, but again, had to go to a speed round to break a persistent tie for third. "Hi, I'm Julianna" came in first with 24 points, Rogils came in second with 20 points, and Charity Case came in third with 12 points. For those of you who have not yet played TRIVIA Challenge at Megret's Madhouse, one thing to remember is *don't* give up! The more often you play, the more you'll feel like part of the "in" crowd that knows my tricks and how to use my hints. For example, if I say, "READ the question!" as a hint, all the regulars know that part or all of the answer is contained in the question. Plus, I sometimes give out a "booby prize" at the end to the player who has consistently used "creative guessing" but not won. I believe in giving prizes for persistence and creativity. So, when you come, stay, and enjoy the game! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Miss WA! - July 6th By Hispaniclyte Boricua <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Thanks to all the avatars who helped in the making of Miss WA!

Most of us have thought about that "some enchanted evening" that "is the start of something big". Ratavas who grew up in the 1960s are very likely to remember watching "The Million- aire" in TV syndication and looking for the philanthropic John Beresford Tipton's private secretary behind every tree. That million dollars was a nice fantasy allowance add-on! Most of us have bought lottery tickets in Kymer, the real world, or both, and some of us have even won. On Thursday, June 27, Passion had a Magical Elevator Encounter. As the co-host of the popular new Kymer game "Pinkie and the Brains", Passion had been busily cruising Kymer byways to promote the event. As all game hosts and event organizers know, every ghost counts! After an hour of visiting every public locale, Passion hurried back to the Apartment Building. She had to meet Brynne, the Celebrity Co-Host of the week, she had to open up the turf, she had to set up "Pinkie's Place" for the game. She was one busy avatar! Those surprise encounters always seem to happen when one is in most of a hurry and least prepared. Just as Passion was about to click on the elevator door, who should materialize but Oracle Teresias, burgundy robes aflutter and blue book in hand. Those who have met Passion know that she is an avey with savvy. She hurriedly sent an ESP to Brynne, asking her to be patient for just two more minutes, then bowed to Teresias. Passion explained the game that she was about to host. "Hmmmmm--sounds like fun," Teresias said. Passion reminded him that even an Oracle can cut loose and live the dream now and then. She tantalized him, holding out the carrot of celebrity guesthood. Teresias bit! He swallowed! He chewed on that carrot awhile and said, "I can do that. Let me put July 11 on my calendar." The Krewe of the Duckolytes may not be able to produce John Beresford Tipton's private secretary bearing a check for a million dollars, but we can provide the occasional enchanted evening. Our Oracles are magic, and the Magical Teresias will be the Celebrity Guest at the July 11 session of "Pinkie and the Brains". If you've ever wanted to meet an Oracle, up close and personal, this is your big opportunity! Mark your calendar, set your alarm watch! Go ahead, avatars in Alaska and Hawaii, leave work early! Whatever you do, be sure to play "Pinkie and the Brains" at 6:00 p.m. WAT on Thursday, July 11 in the turf "Pinkie's Place". Teresias will join Passion, Brains, and the gathered ghosts. He will hide somewhere in Kymer. The lucky avatar who is the first to find him and to utter the secret phrase aloud will not only have an oracular encounter, but will be entitled to select one of the locked Duckolyte Prize Chests containing a secret surprise. Even better, that canny and quick avatar will be eligible to participate in the special Championship Round on Thursday, July 28. The winner of that round will receive a very special prize from the Oracles. Come join the fun! "Pinkie and the Brains" is an exciting weekly game sponsored by the Krewe of the Duckolytes and co-sponsored by ESP! There is no special software to download, no entry fee to pay, so don't miss out. July 11 promises to be a very special day in the annals of Kymer and of the Krewe of the Duckolytes. Be sure to attend! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Do not miss the next Hispaniclyte event The Night of Spanish Dreams on Saturday July 13 at 8PM WAT in the turf: *Casa Hispaniclyte*, see our story in this issue of the CLARION!
