I won't get to give any of the New Year rhetoric and present to you my list of things I resolve. Course, technically, Kymers New Year Day is November 15th, but still..... So, since I never do make resolves, (they are so hard to remember, so why waste my limited memory capacity on them), instead I'll bore you with a list of things I'm grateful for. At one time I got up on my soap box on the boards and stated that they had to do something with my pants! They were made from a scratchy synthetic material, and I needed cotton. Why couldn't there be jeans for females, and as long as we were bringing things up, why couldn't I fly? Instead, I was doing the Kymer Stomp, that more then anything resembles a temper tantrum. The males, on the other hand, were flapping their arms and gaining altitude. Well, Morpheus heard me, and the rash has cleared up now that I have my cotton jeans, and I can fly! I love my new swan dive flight! So I am most grateful for that. My favorite Halloween holiday came by and they had a skull mask. Ok, it's not a ponytail, but that is my favorite Halloween head and is great for roaming the graveyards with. So thank you Morpheus for my head bone. Naturally, we also can't forget the candy. Something to help my sweet tooth survive those long Kymer Days. Now I also have snow to jump in, and despite the small hole in my sneakers, my toes don't get cold. Course, there is that slight problem of that Libra lady who keeps hitting me with the snowballs, but I can take care of that. I hereby declare a price on Libra's head! If you can hit Acolyte Libra with a snowball, and tell her that this ones for me, Marianne G, I'll give you 10 Tokens! You only have to get her once, I'll only pay once, but, if you wish to hit her more often, that is fine by me. Just remember I only pay once. Most of all, I want to thank Morpheus for my old friends and my new. For all the wonderful people that are under those Kymer skies. Thank you all for being there and for caring. It is the people we meet and lives we touch that add depth and peace to our own lives. So, I'll be seeing you on the dreamscape! >*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*< >> SEEN ON THE STREET By Acolyte Rosaleah with sightings by Marianne G We were wondering why so many folks have been making sure to have an item in their hands as much as possible, especially while just standing around talking with one another. And then we saw it: snowballs being flung around, splatting avatars right and left! We don't know if the elves started it or not, but those snowballs have been flying from hand to empty hand with huge **splaaatts** and >>splatters<< all over town! Shouts of "Ack! He got me again!" and "Oh no, he got me!" and "Another one! I have too many snowballs!" and even the occasional "A snowball! Thanks!" have been ringing throughout Phantasus. And the snowballs seem never to melt, not even in your pocket! Of course, most of the snow is in Santa Land itself, just off Meditation Park, where Santa was spotted standing by his sleigh, listening to people's wishes for health and happiness and peace as well as some more personal desires. Among the early wishes relayed to Santa: Superman asked for an S in a yellow shield for his shirt and a place where toys abound. Vampire hoped that her friend Lestat would be able to get a unique head again. Angel Gambler said that it would be enough if she could be with Shaker for Christmas. And Ford Prefect was hoping to tell Santa about his need for a towel (white, natch). The new head vendroids in NuYu have attracted much attention. Among the seekers of new looks was Marianne G, checking out all the new heads and stopping people who were wearing them, asking to see their profiles, still searching for that ever elusive ponytail. And what is a Winter Holiday season without romance? The season has brought the wedding of Zena and Kran and of Acolyte Electra and Acolyte Moria. And Acolyte VIQer is soon to be married to Lambchop. We've heard avatar xenoc and Sherry are planning to wed next month, and Salacious and Quickag are engaged and hoping for a February wedding. We think the most popular item in the new vendroids has to be those cuddly teddy bears. OLS1 found the bear, Arthur Jr., wandering around looking for his avatar pal, Koala, and was happy to be able to help reunite them. We also met bears named Jeremy and Little Star. And Vanilla Frostyne found a good home for Cindy the cinnamon bear, who now belongs to T-Man. The Holidays will find my blonde braids away from the Dreamscape, so let me take the time now to wish all a Happy Holiday ... whichever one of the many you celebrate ... may all your days be filled with light. >>**|**<<>>**|**<<>>**|**<<>>**|**<<>>**|**<<>>**|**<<>>**|**<<>>**| >> KYMER KAROLS Here are some Holiday Karols, sung to popular tunes, for your enjoyment: o - o - o - o - o SILENT NIGHT words by Oracle Uni (sung to the tune of Silent Night) (First Stanza) Silent Night Waking World Night From the dark Calls for Light Dreamscape whispers to all who will hear Bring your dreams Share community cheer Join your hearts and your voices Sleep in Morpheus' arms.

All of the other avatars looked at him and laughed and said, Rudolf the Red Nosed Avatar, where'd you ever get that head? On one bright and sunny day, Rudolf paused to say, On a teleporter trip, I went in and came out this way! And all the other avatars, like to laugh and shout with glee. Rudolf the Red Nosed avatar, you'll be Kymer History! o - o - o - o - o OH AVATAR, OH AVATAR words by Acolyte Chameleon (sung to the tune of O Christmas Tree) Oh Avatar, Oh Avatar I noticed you've been changing Your clothes are different colors now your features re-arranging That body style I think its new Those muscles and a fish head too Oh Avatar Oh Avatar I've noticed you've been changing Oh Acolyte, Oh Acolyte the newbies they keep paging They seem to be a bit confused about this recent dreaming How did I get onboard this boat How come I'm here, all alone The foremost question on their minds How do I get more tokens.... Oh Oracle, Oh Oracle We really need a choke Machine And Mari needs a ponytail she's waited oh so patiently Theres so much here, in store for us Lets all join hands in faith and trust May Morpehus take our hands tonight and guide us through the dreamscape... o - o - o - o - o IN THE NEPHOSPHERE ON HIGH words by Oracle Uni (sung to the tune of Angels We Have Heard on High) In the Nephosphere on high Morpheus smiles as ghosts drift by Frogs, cats, unicorns say Hi Oracles and athletes fly (chorus) Star readings, ghost races raffles, trek trivia Heads exchanged on wedding day Holiday Spirit Avatars in magic play Toast the bond the Bar-L way.

For WorldsAway has come to bring adventure, friends, support and fun. >*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*< >> WHAT'S YOUR WISH LIST By Marianne G I was one of the avatars that took the opportunity to talk to Santa while he's visiting Kymer. I had a few items to talk over with him. My wish list I condensed to three items, since I promised him I would fax him over the rest of it. I'm sure we all have dreams, but on the dreamscape, if we let others know and help to shape them, they can come true! What did I wish for? The ponytail and Choke Machine you all can guess by now. I also wanted a Ghost Racing Area in Isle Caribe, when it opens. I see a room with lots of open spaces for placing down the prizes. It has a one avatar limit room, (Changing room) right off it, for winners to rearrange their won prizes. It has a nice safe built into the wall, so the host and hostess can store prizes there for races. Perhaps someday, that safe will also contain newbie kits! Yes, this vision is all based on what we had in the past on Caribe. But if you were a newbie, wouldn't you like the idea of just showing up to the games and receiving a box with basic supplies of survival in your new city? If we don't dream of what we see behind those doors, if we don't share our dreams, then the dream can never be realized. Let others know your dream. The dreamscape belongs to all of us and the future of it is also in our hands. >*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*< >> GHOST RACING REPORT By Acolyte Serena REMINDER! There will be no ghost racing on Dec 25th. Instead, the final race of the month will be run on Dec 28th, (Thursday) at 5 PM WAT in front of Isle Caribe. On the 11th, winning one race each were Shaker for a canary, who may want to check out that Coming in January article, Piemur won 50T and Titan won 100T. Winning two races each were Necrolyte Xian for the 6th Bowling Pin and 50T, Knight Dangaio won a fern and 50T, Ranma won 50T and a key to my heart to give to the avatar of his heart, and Necrolyte Benny won a fox head and 50T. That leaves Necrolyte Xian and Necrolyte Benny in the lead with four wins each, and right behind, with three wins are Shaker and Knight Dangaio. COMING IN JANUARY FOR GHOST RACING will be Holger who will be hosting the games during the European Time Zones! Now they will have races and prizes to match ours, and their results will also be announced in the CLARION. Thanks Holger! >*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*< >> HARVEST HUNT UPDATE By Acolyte Serena There is still one whole pie to claim. All that is needed is for someone to find and turn in six pie slices. That pie is starting to look very inviting, and I hope someone claims it before I just have to eat it! If you do have six slices, contact me at 72007,221 and we'll set up a time to exchange the whole pie for the slices. >*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*< >> GAME REPORTS By Acolyte Serena You don't have to be a writer for the paper to have you game results published! If you run a game or event, and want the winners to see their name in print, send us the event results! You know we love hearing from all of you! If you know you're going to host an event and wish to send an advance description, press release on that event, send it on in! Make sure you do it well enough in advance that we can help you publicize it. >*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*< >> COMING IN JANUARY By Marianne G The Bloodline is working on a talent show of sorts, and you are the contestants! Stay tuned to the CLARION for registration information but we'll start you off now with the contest descriptions. There will be five contests in all. All will have some grounding in the dreamscape, or the history of the dream. Contestants can compete in any number of the competitions. Contests are: 1) Singing - Songs must have a familiar melody, so all can recognize and sing along with the song, but, the songwriter should change the lyrics to reflect life on the dreamscape. Songs can be about the city, Morpheus, dream of your choice, but something to do with Kymer and our life here. Example, to the tune of New York, New York. Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today, to make a brand new start of it, Kymer, Kymer. These cramped argo blues, are starting to fade, I want to be a part of it, Kymer, Kymer. I want to dream in a city that never wakes, To find I'm monthly race champ, top of the heap! These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray, right to the very heart of it, Kymer, Kymer. If I can dream it there, I'll dream it anywhere, It's up to you, Kymer, Kymer!!! {applause} Contestants will be judged on song and content (this is why you must make sure it's something they know the melody of so they can sing along and appreciate the song), and presentation. 2) Comedy acts - contestants must have a comedy routine that lasts no less then 2 minutes, and no longer then 5. Jokes must be fit to be shared in front of every member of the family! No profanity, off color, or discrimination allowed. A minimum of two of the jokes must center on the dreamscape! Anything from a "funny thing happened to me on the way to the Teleporter....." to whatever you come up with. Contestants will be judged not only on the quality of jokes, the amount of them that do concern our dream, but also presentation. 3) Story Telling - contestants must have a story to tell that lasts no less then 5 minutes, and no longer then 10 minutes. A two minute warning will be sent to the contestant as they near the 10 minute mark. Storys should be about, (you guessed it), the dreamscape and our life here. Contestants will be judged on story content and presentation. 4) Pet Tricks - Your pet can be a canary, a fuzzie, a head, a fern, your new teddy bear or anything you wish. Imagination is the key to this contest, so don't leave it home. Contestants will be judged on presentation, pet care and handling, and imagination. 5) Wave Competition - This is a competition that is gotten from Kymer's History. This competition was regularly held on Caribe. This is a team competition, and teams should be an number of avatars from 3 to 6 to participate in the contest. As a side note, there can also be more then one in the groups competing in the other contests. You can sing a duet or quartet, you can present your story as a play, you can have more then one handler of your pet, or you can try to make your mark as the Abbott and Costello or whatever of the dreamscape. Just make sure you register all members of the group in advance. In this contest, however, you have to have a minimum of three avatars to perform. Each wave team generally base their movements/story on a theme, which can be based on Kymer History, Caribe History, a dream- scape event, or anything having to do with the dream and the avatars presence in it. Contestants normally stand in a line and narrate the story/theme using sychronized movements to illustrate it. Teams will be judged on your theme and your ability to convey it, your presentation, and the sychronization of movement among team members. Some teams may choose to have one speaker, off to the side, while the others perform the movements. Start planning now, January is right around the corner, and we hope to have some very special prizes for those who win in each contest area! >*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*< >> CHAOS, Inc By Marianne G Reminder!

CHAOS, Inc last week was held in the StarWay as part of the Bloodline anniversary party. We played Name That Song! With Holiday favorites and songs submitted by players. The funny part was four people sent in Lyrics for "Grandma Got Run over By a Reindeer" but when it was given, only one person guessed it! Winners were Christa, Necrolyte Benny, Mage Shnee, Utopia and Bill F with Necrolyte Xian being the top winner of the evening. >*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*< >> WARAFFLE RESULTS By Acolyte Lynx The WARaffle winners for Saturday, December 16th, are as follows: 1st.....Tunee..............5000 2nd.....Jasmine............2500 3rd.....Necrolyte Benny....1500 4th.....Nicole.............1000 Be sure and get your tickets for next week from one of the official WARaffle ticket sellers.

In the past, we have relied upon the information supplied by the Scheduling Group in order to include the Events Schedule in the Kymer Clarion. An email to the Scheduling Group on deadline day inquiring about the rest of the schedule brought the response that the Scheduling Group made the decision to only show "recurring events for the next week, but unique events will show further out." This change made by the Scheduling Group will mean that either the Clarion staff will now need to duplicate the efforts of the Scheduling Group by creating our own schedules from scratch so we have a full seven days' worth of events or we will be publicizing an event schedule that will only include four days' worth of events, from the date of publication. Because we have made it a practice to include the Events Schedule in each issue, we are including it here, even though it does not cover our full publication period (through December 25). We have added to it the Santa visits since this was information we had available to us. However, for future issues of the Kymer Clarion, we are in the process of making the decision as to whether we will continue including a partial schedule or whether we will discontinue this feature.
