Note 1 is entitled 'Gillious':
+------------------------------+
The money pool is something only Kane and I will have access to. Only Kane and myself can
view the sum in the money pool. The money pool is the amount of money which the clan has
to draw on to give out perms and purchase new features. There is a clan perm called
"clan points" which allows you to view the amount in the money pool, however we are not
going to give it out, because it is a waste of points
It's a waste of points because once money is donated to the money pool, it can not be taken
out. Therefore the only 'clan money' we have access to is through the clan bank. (east of
here) The total amount of the clan bank can be viewed by typing "balance" and to withdraw
it's "withdraw" and of course to deposit it's "deposit".
Any other questions feel free to ask.

Note 2 is entitled 'Rastus':
+----------------------------+
Ok, after talking with Kane last night, we have decided to give Rastus a few
more permission because his actions since he joined have been mostly with the
benefit of the clan in mind.
Because Kane has an incredibly schedule at the moment, we decided we need
another person to help me with the administration of the clan, so Rastus was a
very good candidate.
Rastus now has access to clan logs (vault and gold), as well as the permission
to erase messages, on top of that, he can override your clan muffs. He will be
given more permissions as Kane and I decide on them.
Personally I want to thank Rastus and the rest of the clan members for keeping
with us during my absence and time of weakness.
Here's to Rastus and the Crusaders! *cheers*

Note 6 is entitled 'The Clan':
+------------------------------+
For the first time ever, we have reached the number one spot on the top clan
list. Karak of OOTS wiz'd and so they dropped four spots on the list.
We are by far the strongest clan on the mud now! We have the most playing
hours/years, and probably the most levels as well.
I would like to thank all of the members who joined us at first, it may have
seemed like jumping off a bridge, but it payed off!
We now have to keep going strong now, to secure our position on the top clans
list.
Wicked of D.C. has being playing extremely hard lately, and I fear that the
D.C. is not far behind us.
HOWEVER, she tells me that she will be starting school full-time next week, so
that takes away a chunk of their contribution.
At the moment, there is no direct competition to the clan.
Now that we've got 1st place, we've earned the right to be badasses to the rest
of the mud!

Sorry bout the Bite thing.... yeah that's what it is, another one is
Life is a bowl of shit, wear hip-waders That's a personal one though
Veterans as I was saying, I think almost all of the people here have been
around for 2 or more years, I am one of the longer playing people at a little
over 4 years. Though as Canetoad says, I've been a few people.
hp
For those who don't know, I was Justin the halfling cleric first, he wizzed and
I created a second who was Myrddraal the halfling monk. Both rocked and I
loved them dearly. I was Removed for something, I agree that Justin should
have been removed, I don't feel the same on Myrddraal. After that episode I
took 3 months off. Then I created Trolloc the Ogre Barbarian, some of you may
remember him a bit better. I know Canetoad does since I killed him once then.
He already repaid that debt to me with this char when I was first created
though we've been friends for a long time now. I'm slowly for me working
through the levels and class levels now again. though I kinda shot from 14/15
to 18/25 I guess :)
Well, phone needs use, I need to call about buying a car so I can get a job,
and life goes on
Justin/Myrddraal/Trolloc
P.S.=Might be nice if some more people would say who they were, might let
people know if they know you :)

Note 13 is entitled 'my story':
+-------------------------------+
I started out as friendly strike, no real enemies (except d2a) and a nonpk.
well in short, he got screwed over by the change at level 15 and I got tired of
that so i killed him off.
btw, strike was a halfling barbarian..(weird combo, no?)
Next up was Vengeance... and well everyone knew him too well.
He was a pk from the start (ogre adventurer) and he, contrary to Strike, had
all the ennemies in the world.
I tried not to make friends simply because it made my killing list smaller.
notable kills for him would be his mortal ennemy, War, Babrius (3 times), and
sacar, a newbie(center of town when i had no eq at level 7).
Vengeance would've been my best char because he was pretty much unbeatable.
he ended up hitting level 30 in bout 400 hours and then wizzed.
The third and final char of my illustrious AH career is well me, Jema a human
mage.
notable facts: aided in killing Deathtoall and collecting that delicious
bounty.
2: saved up 8 meg exp to reach level 30 from level 21...
3: made it to level 38 in like 350 hours (with a little help from keno)
anyway, ive bragged too much about my chars now, ill let someone else tell a story now...

Note 14 is entitled 'Joey':
+---------------------------+
Joey was started way back as a dwarven barbarian. I liked this class because
it required virtually no eqp to get started. I got that character up to about
level 11/16, with around 7 deaths, and suddenly Smegma told me that I should
quit praying, and that I am only allowed 9 deaths. THAT VERY DAY I died, and
was dested. I recreated Joey, because I had made many friends in my 1st
career. As a dwarven barb, and quickly changed to dwarf monk, which I was for
about 3 years, until recently tryin out Advents, and quickly switching back to
monks.
I like classes that require little or no eqp to gather. This was my first mud
I ever tried, and I am still loyal to it, as well as WH. I started this clan
in about October of last year, and now we're number 1.
I've never had a 2nd, I don't agree with em much, or support em as little as
possible.
I like long walks on moonlit beaches, and breakfast in bed. If you're
interested call me......

Note 15 is entitled 'Me':
+-------------------------+
I started out in like September 97 (or was it 98?) as Opey.
He died many times as a newbie (geting to learn the mud) and was
quickly suicided, and became Opie, and Opey and I think one other spelling.
Then it was time to get down to bidness. I started Kane
At level 6 I was rallyed to DC (back when it Ruled) and saved up
100K to go from 6/6 to 11/13 (I was a fighter then). Then I switched to
Advent sometime. In about November I left DC, with Joey, to start
what is now known as the Crusaders, and here we are in Number 1.
Nothing really notable has happened since then. A PK or 2, couple
deaths that set me back months, and a couple months of just not playing
(like now).
This was my first mud, and its my only, other than WH.

Hi all
Kinda feels like being home....with all the players that I have been playing
with for over 4 years now almost all in this clan.
Me...I've never had a 2nd character...never had the time. I hardly have the
time to play this one let alone a 2nd. Well I guess that's not entirely true.
I did start one 2nd character here....Wicked. Many moons ago...I had decided I
wanted to PK and made that character...then I had a friend at the time get
interested in the mud...and I gave that character to her. So no..I am not
Wicked. That is now Dianne. Since then...nothing but this one. Cleric/Elf
21/25 and slowly working my way up.
I prolly could've been much higher by now but I lost interest when things here
change but now have a renewed outlook and will be playing more. I am still not
PK but have always been PK friendly. Blessings and heals to all clan members
that ask...I was always fond of TC's since they came up with such a cool emote
to ask for a bless. And hey...if you're gonna PK..you're gonna kill ppl and
possibly (but not often I hope) die too....that's why I like PKers...they keep
me in business with resses. *grin*
ok that's enough...I'm glad me and mine(slade) are here...see ya soon!

I have heard a rumor that the new clan system will reimberse
your bclan bank, but not the money pool.
In short: no one donate money, only deposit. This goes for ALL members.
The pool is healthy enough for us to last almost a year without needing
more in it, so this won't hurt us at all, its to our advantage.
Thanks for your co-operation,

Ok heres what I know (and this is based soley on the code Ive seen)
1) New rooms - pretty much can code an area inside clan hall
2) Guards - smart bastards who know friend from foe and can keep out intruders
3) Monsters - Dumb buggers who roam the area we code and attack anyone
So thats about it - I have heard that money pool will go and balance will stay
Can't really confirm or deny anything else - I will take another butchers
at the code and see if anything else shows up.

Ahh, the DOA. Everytime they reform, they run out of money. Sure there's some
good players in the clan, (minus Crusher) but will they survive and be a
threat? I doubt it. If history can show us anything, it's that they'll play a
bit, lose interest but not have enough money saved to sustain their clan.
So now for your viewing pleasure, allow me to present a log I made of their
clan board when they were around before. This was made on the final day before
their clan went bust.
The log is in the next post...

Actually, The clan was started by myself, however, after an unsuccesful setup
of the clan (about 45mins), we disbanded, and Kane started this version of the
Clan. Kane and myself shared 50/50 'leadership, until a few months later, when
Rastus was made a full partner, because of his ability to keep the clan going
when Kane and myself were quite busy with school/sports/girls last year.
Because of the leadership he showed us, we decided to give him full
'leadership' rights. He can do anything Kane and myself can do. We still have
to make decisions on giving out perms, and recruiting new members.
And those decisions are put before the entire clan, and if one of the admins
does not agree with it....it does not happen.
Simple Enough?
So we do consider ourself the clan admin....basically because we have the 'clan
administration' permission, and Rasty has earned that title by donating time to
Brappy's clan code.

are from partying with the likes of Joey, Kane, Rastus, Glitz and Elin
Who knows maybe this clan will stay on top untill they find something
else to do with all the computer space this mud takes up. Who knows maybe
my area will get approved some day to give you guys (and ladys) something
new to do on the mud (dont get your hopes up tho this will probably
happen about the time frogs learn to fly so they dont drag their butts
on the ground every time they jump).

In truth, it's been awhile since I've REALLY played! The last time I can
remember playing, and enjoying it to the point that it was compulsively fun
would be before the "new" fighting system was introduced. (though it ain't so
new anymore)
I think I've arrived at the conclusion that muds (or continuous online games)
by their very nature, WILL stagnate.
Sure, we can say that it was the fault of the admin, that the loss of PK killed
the mud, that the older players were better, or whatever. However, the only way
I can see to prevent a mud from stagnating, is to have the admin and wizards
online 24 hours a day, constantly coding and constantly improving the mud.
Though that's not feasible considering the admin and wizards have real lives
(well, some of them...) and can't devote their entire existence to the mud.
Heck, look at Ultima Online. A multiplayer graphical mud backed by a
multimillion dollar corruption with professional programmers to run it. Yet
this game has been plagued by the same stagnation problems of After Hours. Once
you've tried out the system, once you've explored the place, once you've done
the quests... what next!? New features can't be added in time to remove
boredom. Players go around tediously raising their levels and stats with no
purpose and end-goal in sight.
As the saying goes, "All good things must come to and end." There's technically
not supposed to be an end in online continuous games.
But there is...
And it's not a dignified end, it's a slow rotting decay until nobody gives a
shit and the product is only a shallow part of its former self.
[Thanks for reading my rant:) I'll probably be back when my bout of lag clears
up to raise a few levels, and complete Brapnor's quest. though I can't see
myself ever playing after that]

Nod, we have nothing to fear, we'll be back up in the #1 spot quite soon, as
we've seen in OOTS past, they over-recruit, until they recruit corrupt players,
and then they come to an end.
I am also going to begin playing soon as well

Just want everyone to know, I withdrew the neccessary funds to switch

]However, it is doubtful that I'll return to playing anytime in the near future as I've
got other rl priorities that take precedence. Also, I don't want to be bothered by
playing aspects like having eat & drink and playing killing for the times I do log
on.
]Balder shouts in common: I have been link-dead long enough.
Having recently finished (sorta) Brapnor's new quest I was considering wizzing but I've
changed my mind about that. The mud already has enough idle wizards :)
][Crusaders] Maicoll is leaving the game.
Autosaving character...
So henceforth I'm going to kinda do-a-Coyote and retire from playing aspects, which means:
playing, eating & drinking, killing monsters, making exp, player killing, mud bulletin
boards & mud politics etc.
]As I said before, I'll still be around with a low level character (although I can't see
myself raising above level 5) and I'll still now and then be in the pub to chat.
]Thanks for allowing me in this clan. For what will probably be my last clan to have been

Note 40 is entitled 'Retirement':
+---------------------------------+
As I suggested I would in my last note, the time has come for me to retire from
playing this mud. So it may or may not surprise some of you now when I say that
I'm going to delete my character and start again as a human adventurer like I
originally was.
However, it is doubtful that I'll return to playing anytime in the near future
as I've got other rl priorities that take precedence. Also, I don't want to be
bothered by playing aspects like having eat & drink and playing killing for the
times I do log on.

You have entered the clan vault. All of the walls are made of the strongest oak in the
forest for security purposes. A small, intelligent looking elf sits behind a large desk
taking stock. He is the clan stock boy and he will _log_ everything and everyone who
puts in and takes out something from the clan vault. Standing behind his desk are two
elven magicians ready to die protecting the clan stash from outsiders. Their combined
spells would seriously harm you or anybody else. You can go south back to the courtyard
and the snow.
There is one obvious exit: south.

> You enter the courtyard of the fortress of the Crusaders which is surrounded by
four white walls with maple leaves centred on them and four high red towers in each
corner of the courtyard. Strangely enough it is snowing in here, but it is not
snowing in the desert outside. Harsh winds burn any exposed parts of your body.
On the towers you notice the Crusaders clan crest, which is a combination of a
sword and a holy cross. To your left you see two skinny humans dressed in toques
handing out newspapers and lists. To the north you see a large heavily guarded
log cabin surrounded by coniferous trees. A sign above the cabin door says
'Vault'. To the east you see a small cave which is also heavily guarded with a
sign above the entrance reading 'Treasury'. Standing in front of you is a massive
bulletin board with the current clan affairs posted on it. You can go north to
the treasury or east to the clan bank.
There are three obvious exits: out, north, and east.

You have entered the clan treasury. All of the walls are made out of solid rock
for security purposes. A dwarven miner of the highest class could not penetrate
these walls. This is where selected members come to _deposit_ money of their own,
or to _withdraw_ money of the clan's. There is a large dwarf sitting behind a
large oak counter counting money. He is the clan accountant and will keep a
_record_ or and a _balance_ of all funds going in, and coming out of the bank account.
Standing behind the accountant are four giant guards with stern looks on their faces
ready to die protecting the clan funds. You should not mess with them.
You can go west back to the courtyard and the snow.
