I've reached level 10,           \nbut I'm having a hard time meeting new people. Everyone seems\nto already have a clique or group of people they associate with.\n \n  Every time I meet someone around my level, they are hanging\naround avatars already.  I'm too young to join most guilds\nand orders. Do you have any suggestions..I enjoy the Realms,\nbut its too large of a place when you're by yourself.\nLittle Fish in a Big Pond\n \nDear Little Fish,\nIt's not really such a big pond!  Try doing a who 10 10 and you will\nsee just how many people are your level.  It may seem as though everyone\nis already grouped with another person, but there are always people looking\nfor a friendly hand (or fin even).  Try finding players that are less\nexperienced than you and offer your assistance.  As soon as your level\npermits join a Guild, Order, or Clan.  It's a great way to meet new people \nwith common interests and to learn about the Realms.  Swim out there and \nget involved!!!\nAnaisse GreyBorne :)\n \n  ______ ____ _ ______ ______ ______  ___\n |    __|    | |      |      |   | | |   |__ ______ ______ ______ _______\n |___|  |______;____|_;____|_;___  | |    . |    ) |      |  \\___|(_   (_`\n--- funny - bones --------- |______| |______;______;____|_;______|__)____)\n\n\nFunny Titles\n\nCayman-man of many hairs.\nGeorg can resist anything but temptation.\nDurex brand condoms.... are you covered in Latex?.\nTolchock flings dung at passing elephants.

Please mud mail your list of words to\nMystaric by Friday May 21, 1999.\n \n \nThis weeks phrase  ----->  Cry of Despair\n \nQuest Central News\n\nAphrael held the Name the imm quest\nThis quest had avs compare mobs to imms and give a reason why.\nHere are some of the quest entries.\n \nCirce - Aphrodite.  Creating the honorable Maidenstone, Circe has\ngiven her maidens the love, beauty, and grace that they seek.  Her\nembrace of the beauty of the female gender has been the foundation\nof strength for Maidenstone.\n \nMorphina - Innkeeper Jed.  Like Jed and his book of tales, Morphina\nis full of imagination and stories...which in turn are applied\nnicely as the background for any of her quests. :)\n \n- Wendy\n \nLascivias-Supermob- Lascivias seems to me to be the hardest working non-\nCoE or Code Council imm I know and although us mortals do not get to see\nthe supermob zooming about doing his work, we still know he's busy.\n \nNivek-Harakiem- Harakiem seems to be the guardian of Darkhaven. Nivek when\nhe was head of Code Council was like the guardian of the realms, protecting\nus from all those evil bugs, hard drive failures, and hackers.\n \nViracocha-Dh Peddler- I think the DH Peddlers are the most killed mobs in\nthe of the most killed imms I've known\n \n- Judy \n \nThis description reminds me of Mystaric.  It is a good example of\nblending strength and courage with kindness.  I think it is the\nessence of showing that being nice can also go along with being\nstrong and assertive when it's necessary.  Mystaric is our editor\nfor CoD.  Often our meetings get silly very quickly :)  Mystaric\nis always nice about it, helping to keep the meetings fun but\nkeeping us on the subject we are discussing\n- Anaisse\n \nRanma reminds me of the old and worn out winnie the pooh bear even\nthough she claims that she's a bunny.  They're both cute, old, and\ncuddly.\n \nCalis always call himself the frog so froghemoth reminds me of him. Calis\nalso yell at ppl who ask for a \"frog run\" on avchat before. =)\n \nAbattoir reminds me of his creator, Taboo.  They share the same wacko\nhumour and they're both crazy.  They both also laugh at those who dare\nto face them.\n \nFather time is like Thoric.  Father time was the beginning of time and he'd\nbe at the end of time.  Thoric started the mud and he could close the mud\nanytime he wants.\n \n- Ashiana\n \nMystaric and Atalanta, because both are the heart of the Maidenstone.\n \n- Tasarok\n \nAphrael- Tsythia,One creates Mushrooms, the other creates Much rooms\n \nGorog - Master Tull. Owners of a vicious hound.\n \nJulie- Fharlangan. Normally quiiet and hidden, but appears with thunder.\n \nLiksani - Isis,  the spammiest mob I can think of.\n \nMorphina - Papa in Kusnir, he also sets quests that are impossible to\ncomplete\n \nMoonbeam - Speedy Comet. Both hurtle around the realms in a blaze of light.  \n \nStoney - Half-troll fortress guards. Try to be sneaky, and witness\ndestruction.\n \n- Jonq\n \nKali                                        Bammy\nexplain- He is a mighty person with a heart of Gold but with fists\nof Rath\n \n- Tunclon\n \nThe Blademaster(Bushido) is shrouded in flowing shadow and light.\nBushido, Forever Samurai, is represented here, and he gave me a\nimpressive display of deft bladework. Ouch.\n \n- Asmodeous\n \nViracocha - Little Green Tree Frog = Vira loves to hang about in the trees,\nand he especially likes to surprise young maidens who wander close. At first\nthey are shocked to see him, then they giggle, but they are always left\nwondering if that cute little frog is really a handsome prince inside.\n \n- Ceirana\n \nAphrael - A swirling eddie - Yes Lady Aphrael is much like the wind, free\nspirited and unownable, the perfect image of serenity and peace.\n \n- Langtoly\n\n                            ________________________________\n                           \/     , _                       \/\\\n       .      .'          |     \/|\/ \\ _   _          ,    |_\/\n        :`...' `.,'  '    |      |__\/\/ \\_|\/ \/|\/|\/|  \/ \\_  |\n    `.

However, what is love?  That's a million\ndollar question.  According to the dictionaries that I looked in, it's a \nnoun and a verb. It means \"deep affection and warm feeling for another,\" \n\"the emotion of romance, a strong fondness,\" and to like or desire.  I've \nalso heard some people said that love is a word created by Hallmark Inc. \nto sell cards. It's an easy word to remember and an easy word to say.  \nSome people say I love you as easy as they say \"ABC.\"  On the other hand, \nsome people are afraid of the word love.  Those people act as though love \nwould come after them and hunt them down to harm them.  Love has different \nreactions depending on the gender, except in some special cases. A woman \nwould think it's a sweet, caring, romantic word.  A man would think it's \njust a word probably a scary word.  If a woman were to tell a man she loves \nhim, he'd cringe and try to flee.  If a man were to tell a woman that he \nloves her, which is almost never, the woman would be devoted to the man\nYou can say the word love made Hollywood famous.  If you were to\nspontaneously of show it is, love would be there.  Hollywood live off of \nthe word love.  I think it's safe to say that all Hollywood movies have a \ntype of love in it. Titanic, for example, is a tragic historical event.  \nJames Cameron sasaw it differently. He saw love stories and decided to make \na movie about a love story. The movie Titanic was a success at the box office \nnot because it was a tragic historical event but a love story between Rose \nand Jack.\n \nHow can a four-letter word be sweet, caring, and scary at the same time?\nI wish I knew the answer to that question because the word love confuses me\ntoo. For me, love is a word that's indescribable.  Love's a feeling and so I\ncan't look at it and describe it.  I guess that's why the question \"What is\nlove? so hard to answer.  Does it exist?  I don't know yet but I'm sure that\nit won't be long until I find out the truth.\nAnonymous\n \nJibberish by Thulkinn Krogenstar (The Insane Mage)\n \nOnce upon some cottage cheese,\nI ran into some giant fleas,\nFleas be nimble, fleas be quick,\nSatan Rides a Pogo Stick!\n \nClouds are sad, and eggplants die.\nSaid a siamese midget fly.\nCome with me, come and see,\nWe'll watch the sunrise from beneath the sea.\nBut for now I have to flee.\nAnd flee he did, or did he Flea?\nAsked the dragon when he spoke to me.\n \nAnd Elvis said, with a swastika on his head,\nMy steed named Ed, is dead on the bed.\nAnd under the hood of my Yugo there stood,\nPamela Lee, since she looked so good.\n \nMy ears went out for a walk yester-night,\nThey grew wings, and grew flight.\nSo I lent my ears, to a pixie's plight.\nWhich to all the world was Jibberish!\n\n  ______ ______ ___ ___    ______  ______   ______ ______ ______\n |   () |    | |   |   |__|   _) \\(_   (_  |    . |      |   _) \\\n |___   ;______;___;______;______\/__)____) |____|_;____|_;______\/\n |______|  ______ ______ ______ ______ ______  ______\n          |   () |   () |   _) \\  \\___|   () |(_   (\n_________ |______|___|\\_\\______\/______;___|\\_\\__)____) _____________\n \nQuild Pkill Schedule\nMay   5th, 9pm EST Druid-Vampire    VS Cleric-Thief\nMay   8th, 1pm EST Nephandi-Warrior VS Mage-Paladin\nMay  12th, 1pm EST Nephandi-Vampire VS Mage-Warrior\nMay  15th, 9pm EST Ranger-Paladin   VS Augure-Thief\nMay  19th, 9pm EST Mage-Vampire     VS Cleric-Paladin\nMay  22nd, 1pm EST Ranger-Warrior   VS Thief-Druid\nMay  26th, 1pm EST Cleric-Mage      VS Nephandi-Augure\nMay  29th, 9pm EST Mage-Ranger      VS Druid-Augure\nJune  2nd, 9pm EST Warrior-Vampire  VS Thief-Augurer\nJune  5th, 1pm EST Nephandi-Paladin VS Druid-Ranger\nJune  9th, 1pm EST Augurer-Vampire  VS Warrior-Paladin\nJune 12th, 9pm EST Nephandi-Thief   VS Cleric-Ranger\nJune 16th, 9pm EST Cleric-Vampire   VS Nephandi-Ranger\nJune 19th, 1pm EST Mage-Thief       VS Druid-Paladin\nJune 23rd, 1pm EST Druid-Warrior    VS Cleric-Augurer\n \nGoP News\nGoP IC's reported 6 new recruits for this week and inducted Jazmin as\na new member.
