Quote of the Week -by Louhikärmes

Eagle I stand in front of the window and watch as the cars drive by. Then I start to visualize that I jump out of the window and just glide for a few hundred meters and then start to flapping my wings and raise high in the sky.

Snippets

Hex suffers from a sleep disorder. Seren announces a Boston trip and inquires as to Residents in that area. Aured is condemned by the General Board of Inspectors. Flame Stryke observes that candles just get in the way of eating birthday cake. Hex gets ambition to become a chocolate taster. Ysable is given sparkly demon bits. Mondariloth posted a self portrait to alt.binaries.pictures.misc

Poll Results for SAWM

Poll Results Guillan had asked:  Do you think the Sing Along With Me thread deserves a mention in the FAQ? It seems to be an institution. In Issue 14, the News ran a poll for 1 week on this question to see how residents felt. Here are the results.

Proposition
Scott proposes a new tag for the Dragon Code. The AV tag - how aware and active with the anvil residents are. Pyros Rutilicus had a dissenting opinion: People will make puns, or not.  People will whump others, or not.  After a couple of weeks, newbies will learn that puns lead directly to whumping, and then participate, or not.  I don't think we need a tag to describe it. What informational content would the tag carry that isn't already obvious by what someone posts?

AV - - - -
what's an anvil?/don't even *think* about it!
AV- - -
heard the name/avoid it like the plague
AV - -
aren't those made of metal?/ewwww
AV -
those're used for traditional metal working/no bad jokes! please!
AV
I've seen it around, but don't know much about it/I've been threatened with it
AV +
I know how the Anvil works/I've been hit once or twice
AV + +
I know why the Anvil exists/I've been hit a few times
AV + + +
I wield the Anvil/lost count of how many times I've been hit
AV + + + +
I am one with the Anvil/just call me Arcaton
 
The poll for "Should a new tag be added to the Dragon Code for the Anvil?" has been closed. Results will be in Issue 18. Thank you for voting!!

(Paid for by Hex) Good dragons all and one, a war is coming.The forces are lining up as we speak. Here will fall to the mental dominant or the eviller overlord. With this fact in mind Hex announces the grand opening of HMS( Her Magic Shoppe) This shoppe will house items of magical nature, trinkets, potions, etc. Items include V's infamous sleep disorder, Wyrm trap, monkey tickle, Flamed plums, Arcation's Punny Funny, Rabid petunia vapors, Spluts, Q's tips, minion training books and server demons. Applications to work at HMS may be picked up at Flames Beaucracy If you have an item or invention HMS will be glad to showcase it for a small fee. All patents pending upcoming war. Also on hand in limited supply is Newbie. They age rapidly and can start to rot. Just in!!!! Plumons! Get some today!!!!

Incursions Continue

Helicopter Suddenly, Residents hear a whizzing sound, everything blurs for a brief instant, and many are teleported to a field by a stream.  There are obvious signs of pokewar, Warm Fuzzy emissions, and a HUGE Dwaggie-Nip detonation everywhere in sight.  Off to one side, a rabid petunia is sitting there holding a rather gaudily painted (colors of your choice!) sign saying, "He did it!!!" and pointing to the left.  To the left, is a rainbow colored faery dragon innocuously sniffing flowers and pointing repeatedly toward the petunia, his tail make a wriggling motion and the words "It was her!!!" shoot out. Meanwhile, the petunia looks like it is attempting to play innocent by scritching a fat white calico.

In an interview, Seren was quoted as saying, "I was innocently taking a walk through Yonder Mountains, when I was randomly attacked by this insane fuzzy, rainbow, whatever he is right now, menace! He came after me with Warm Fuzzies, and all I was trying to do was protect myself, and... Um... A good quote. Oh! And the opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation!" She then shoved Scott out of the way and grinned for the camera. She was last heard to ask, "Erm... do I have anything between my teeth?"
