Finally another issue of Imagizine. Due to the lack of news it has
been decided that
it should not come out monthly, but when there are news to tell. This is
an interactive
Imagizine, so your input is very much appreciated. To put something in the
Imagizine e-mail
the Editor at Lunah at email.jimagica.net, and it will be put into the following issue.

recently. The last additions to
Imagica to my knowledge are the following:

The Imagica website has undergone some minor changes lately. The Wiz and
Immlist

somewhat altered. More changes are to come.

It finally happened, we are engaged and a marriage is up hands. (as soon
as we get that second blessing) Although we
still have to plan it all we already wanted to invite you all for the wedding.
Catt & Mithrandir
=====================
To have our words in a poem entwined,
would release us of what we have both in mind
Combining thoughts in this constant stream ....
would be the fullfillment of a dream.
Where thoughts and reality form a story,
that will show both our creativity in glory.
Seperate thoughts unite as one....
a gulf of distance becomes undone.
Opening up our souls transparent,
making both our goals apperent.
Alternating lines as we create,
seperate but equal they all relate.
Together we create with thought and emotion,
to keep this creation pleasantly in motion
Taken swiftly for a ride..
or words evoked by the ebbing tide.
Each sentence neatly in place,
the letters combined in a sweet embrace.
sharing together our many prose...
neither knowing where this path goes
So even might this fable see an end,
you will always be forever my friend.

Lately a lot of people forget things when they request a house, therefor
I've decided to repeat a few things
I need to create your house.
* Room name(s)
* Room description(s) - check it for typos and that it looks good with
commas, dots etc. as I will put it in as you write it.
* Where you want your house (DinoStreet, SagaForest)
The more complete your request is, the faster your house can be built.

There are several clans in Imagica where individuals can gather that share
the same belief and purpose.
If you want to start a new clan in Imagica there are a few things you need
to know, and think about.
What you need to start a clan:
- A leader of lvl 40+
- A representative that is a HERO
- 3 to be members
- A clan background and policy (the background and theme of the clan must
be original)
- Name for clan levels
Cost:
- The cost to start a clan is 20 000 Gd.
Clan Zone
- The zone may not exceed 100 rooms
- The zone has to be built according to Imagica standards (you can get
the building doc from Mender)
- The zone should be hard to reach and not next to one of the more public
zones (such as Teldar)
Clan Skills and Clan Items:
- You may have 2 skills/spells
- The skill/spell may not be too powerful (like transfer, portal, charm)
- The skill/spell should be original and clan related
- You may have 2 items
- The items should be original and clan related
- The items should be well balanced, as many minuses as plusses
Extra:
- Your clan flag (that appears in the who-list), may be presented in a
specific color
When you have your clan all worked out, you can send your request to Clans at email.jimagica.net
- taken from Imagica's Clan Policy

Again we have had a successful Role Playing Week here in Imagica. The week
was filled of enthusiastic roleplaying people and had a filled programme
with quests and other events. Below will follow a list of the events and
quests and the outcomes of them. I hope that the next Role Playing Week
will
be as good as this one.
- Problems in Teldar (Quest)
There was to be a test of the drinking water in Teldar, however, the
fountain had been broken and we needed new marble to fix it. The helpful
mortals of course ran to the Troll Kingdom to find enough of the marble
to
fix the fountain. Everyone who helped got a crystal bottle filled with
clear
water. Santa collected the most marble, and therefor received a special
magic bottle of clear water.
- The Lost One (Quest)
The pet dragon of Griselda was suddenly gone. For some reason the little
guy
left the always so kind mother. In a cry for help some adventurers came
to her
aid. Searching through all of imagica eventually the hero called Viper
found him,
gazing at the dragon statue on the top of dragon mountain. For his assistance
Viper
was rewarded with a dragonwing cape.
- The Nivrim Merchant (Quest)
A nivrim merchant bought a supply of magic mushrooms. After selling most
of them he
found that they were to strong to eat safely! After the word spread most
people threw
them away, yet not all had heard. The merchant called for help and some
adventurers helped
him by collecting almost all of the thrown away mushrooms. They even saved
some people who
did not hear the warning. The one to collect most mushrooms was awarded
with a herbal joint.
- Tournament (Event)
The brave mortals got a chance to compete against each other and show their
brute strength and skill in combat. There were three winners in different
categories, and they are as follows:
Tazok, Mithrandir and Blip
- Autumn Feast (Event)
To celebrate the end of the Role Playing Week we held a feast with nice
food
and pleasant company. During the feast there was a raffle, a vote for the
lady and lord of the evening as well as the announcing of the winner of
the
Role Playing Week.
The lord and lady of the evening turned out as Nisse & Shimmer, and
the
winner of the Role Playing Week was no one less than Nisse.

I have interviewed two our our new Immortals here in Imagica so that you
can get to know them a little better. First out is Asgaroth.
L: Will you tell us a little about yourself?
A: Well, ehrm, my name is Björn Brala (no i'm not swedish :P). I started
playing imagica about three years ago when i went to school to
the Haagse Hogschool, after a bit of a break for 1 1/2 years i came back,
stronger as ever ;) Nowadays i study computers again but now
in Leiden, my hometown.
L: What made you decide to apply for the position of QM?
A: Well i really do enjoy building (till a certain point ;P) and like to
make things look good on the mud like special emotes to fit you're character
and just roleplaying in the whole. Being a questmaster is a full fillment
of those urges. Building quests, and being mobiles, another one each time.
L: What do you think that you can bring to Imagica?
A: At least some quests i hope ;) Further more i will try to keep thinking
up how to make the mud better... or something... actually... i have no idea,
i'll know ehn i've done it. I do try to encdourage RolePlay though.
L: How do you like being a Quest Master?
A: It's great!!! I've run me a quest or two now thought up some more, really
enjoy it. Of course the thing even better are the endless oppertunities
to play around with you little mortals *grins evilly*
L: Do you have any nice plans for the future regarding the Quests or anything
else?
A: Patience is a virtue.
Next up is our new RolePlay Enhancement Immortal, Nix.
L: Could you tell us a little about yourself? You are quite new to all
of us =)
N: *coughs and tries to look as serious as possible* I am time itself,
the very core of space! And I dress well...
I came from nowhere, I came from the present, the past and the future! Oh,
and I like playing basketball.
L:What made you decide to take this position?
N: Uhm... Well, sneaking into peoples bedrooms at night unoticed was probably
why I took this position. Seriously...
I would love to see RP grow on this MUD as I think it would strenghten the
game balance a little and at the same
time be much more fun as I have heard alot of complaints about how boring
killing is, so I think RP is an alternative to killing.
L: Do you have any plans for the future roleplaying of Imagica?
N: Thats classified information...*always wanted to say that*
L: What do you think of the current level or roleplaying?
N: Well, the moral of the RP could be higher but I find it quite satisfying
to see that so many RP these days and I will offcourse
do everything in my power to get nearly all people on this MUD bring out
their absolutely best RP.
L: Do you have any suggestions to those mortals that might want to improve
on
their roleplaying?
N: Do NOT be yourself... It is OK to talk about RL things on secluded channels
or in private but don't do it "in RP" as RP is here to
make you someone else, someone you have always dreamed of being or becoming.
L: Thank you for your time, Nix. Any last words of wisdom?
N: "Do not under any circumstances look under your teachers skirt as it
might grant you lower grades and detention" or as my good
friend the scientist in the future would say "E=mC2".

Lately it seems that a lot of Imagicans find their loves, and get engaged
and perhaps
even want to be married. (*hides her love arrows and pretends innocence*)
Therefor I
thought it might be a good idea to write down some of the general ideas
on how marriages
work in Imagica.
To get married:
- You must both have reached level 20.
- You must be granted the blessing of 2 Gods.
- You shall be engaged for 1 month before wedded.
The wedding will then be performed by a God. There are no real advantages
to a marriage.
However, you may receive a wedding gown/smoking and wedding rings. You
may also share
a house after you have been wed.

We currently have a lot of entousiastic builders working on new zones for
Imagica. For those that might be interested in doing something for Imagica,
and think they might like to create new zones, we wanted to give a little
info to go about with this.
- First of all, you have to take a moment to think, if building really
is
something for you. It is something which is quite time consuming, and there
are a lot of things to think about while doing it. Such as, making sure
you
don't write half the zone looking exactly the same way, keeping it balanced
and interesting. Also, you need to make sure that it follows Imagica's
theme, which is medieval. You can't have any guns or sunglasses, nor any
super laser meg-a-tronic blasters.
- When you've decided that you do want to build a zone. You have to think
of
what you want to build. It has to be something new, as we don't want
duplicate zones in Imagica. Decide if it's a zone for low levels/high
levels, if it's a city, mountains or forest. When you have a good idea,
it's
always good to make a map of your zone. If it's your first zone, we would
appreciate if you make it no more than 100 rooms, preferably at least 80.
- When you got your idea all figured out, you send it (together with the
map, if possible) to Mender, who will tell you if it is a zone idea that
someone else is already working on, or if maybe something would need to
be
changed for it to fit Imagica.
- If Mender approves, you will be allowed into the TestMUD where you can
build your zone (or you can build it offline at home).
At request you may receive the Imagica Building Doc (do not try to build
without it) as well as some other documents to help you with game balance
on
items and mobs etc.
