For those of you who are new to this group, here is some history.

A large portion of the works posted in the Archives folder are VERY old (some circa 1998). It mostly revolves around a group of friends both in RP (role play) and RL (real life). The post titled “Who’s Who in the Zoo” will give you some biographies on PC (player characters), but mostly it’s designed to give history on various NPC’s (non player characters).

All of the posts in the Archives folder are written by several different people at the same time from their character’s (or NPC’s) point of view.

LOCATIONS:
MBBnG (Mech Bay Bar'n'Grill): There is a post from the original creator, Jugger, giving detail on the grill.

Vextis & Krita: These are 2 starships owned by Ryax and Katrylle Morghan respectively. A large portion of “Who’s Who” deals with the various crews of both ships.

RhyDin: A fictional town and/or planet (depends on who you ask) created in AOL. We are not the owners of this name… I’m not sure anyone remembers who would be… But that is where we all met.

RDI (Red Dragon Inn): Also a creation of AOL. A tavern on/in RhyDin that was not particular on character types let in despite the inference to a fantasy based name.

SEB (Stars End Bar): Yet another creation of AOL. Also a tavern, but supposedly in a space port above RhyDin. See above concerning character types. No one really cared.

Kit-n-Kaboodle Club: Ryax's strip club, bar, gambling den and gods know what else. Not sure anything was ever officially written up on it.

TERMINOLOGIES:
Typo Demons: Pretty self-explanatory and WAY too common. The ant colony of our worlds. Everyone was plagued by them, some more than others.

Punt Beasts: Back in the day (i.e. modem connections), it was *VERY* common to have your connection dropped for no reason. We usually referred to this as a Punt Beast attack. Again, everyone was plagued, some more than others.

Boredom Beast: I think Kat was the only one who had one. It pretty much explains itself too. Bored off my mind, I’d start RPing by myself… usually in RDI… and the Boredom Beast was pretty much my constant companion.

OOC (Out of Character): As most of our interactions were in character, we would often have to let people know when things were said/done out of character. You might see this in the beginning of a couple of posts.

IC (In Character): See OOC explanation.

 ::actions::  - Several posts may have :: around what appears to be a character’s action (i.e. ::she walks to the bar and sits::) Yep. Action shots. This usually happened in RP sessions.
