Patches of green, the deep blue sea, a sky red only at sunset--these are the holy grails of the Wasteland. The flesh may rot and melt and wither, but the spirit endures. That crusty human center has brought it from the horrors of worldwide holocaust into a New Age of discovery. The dubious institutions of greed and exploitations have survived, and continue to thrive in the few cities spared the ravages of the great catastrophe. In many ways, it's business as usual. But perhaps man has learnt something from this historic plague. A renewed spirit, a chance to rebuild, and a reliance on the self. Minds have opened, magick has emerged. The world has bled and from that blood has sprung a new, enlightened brood. There are dreams, as there have always been. There is hope. And there is a world to explore. -------------------------- Message 849 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Wed Jan 7 03:47:19 1998 EST From: Lise (#14877) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Sick You don't know sick til you've stared at it from the inside its cold dead eyes and its broken black heart Drugs for the needy?

He never claimed anything until he watched several people who where nobles and dragonriders, They claimed land holdings and Red couldn't figure it out, then some silly riders dragon went crazy.. Red got a army together of ragtag followers and begain to claim the wasteland.. That dragon started it all.. That snotty Yroshi turning.. Red could of had a dragon head on his mantel and dragon armor long ago! But no! The magi stopped him from his rampaging.. He settled down and got mixed up with damn women.. Bah really messed up the fun! So he claimed sand for his own.. He was still mocked by most.. He was the perfect Ghostwheel resident.. Started with nothing and will most likely end with nothing..

It involved a trade. A newbie was making a trade with an experienced player. Instead of trading fair and square with the newbie, the experienced player decided that it would be easier just to finger the newbie, find out where he is and take the weapon from him. Well i Think that is shit. The newbie is obviously less advantaged then the other player, and was no match. It makes me sick that someone woulld take advantage of someone else like that. But mmaybe that is the theme of this moo, be an asshole OOC. Experienced player, you know who you are, and I want you to know that you made an enemy today. I know that that is not a threat to someone with stats like yours, but you made an ooc enemy as well.

An excerpt from People of the Ghostwheel and its environs, updated Jan. 3, 1996 Those who fled to the seas before the full horror of the Third World War are now called the Submariners. They are more at home naturally in water then any other human. Through means unknown, Submariners have developed gills allowing them to breathe water and air. They live in small towns scattered across the depths of the ocean. An excerpt from "game races" Submariner - A race of blue skinned humanoids who have developed gills along with their lungs. Allowing them to breathe water and air. They live in the undersea communites of Coral's Reach and Waves End. So which am I supposed to believe? Are subbies humans as the first document suggests, or are we humanoids that belong to a different race altogether?
