DUCHY REVIEW
with THE DEMI-GODDESS HAZED


Tuesday June 16, 1998


Chez Diesel (Social Center of the Solar System)
Diesel leans casually against the wall, baseball bat swinging idly to and fro.
A battered honky-tonk piano sits in the corner.
Sipping her late night cocoa, Hazed is here.
With the Tetley Bitter Cup Saracen Jonathan is here.
Tgruxer is here.
Brittany is here.
Loving Audrey.... Dead is here.
Journeyperson Michaelj is here.
never was a cornflake girl Bittiba is here.
Taking All Your Money, Freakgod is here.

Hazed has bought you a glass of something pink and frothy with a cherry in it, slices of orange, lemon and lime, icecubes shaped like elephants, a Chez Diesel swizzle stick, a curly straw, a pink umbrella and a monkey hanging off the side of the glass!!

"does ming work with yall?", asks Michaelj.

"or is he just someone that you dont know?", asks Michaelj.

"No, Ming doesn't work. He's the Emperor, he has other people to do the work for him.", says Hazed.

Michaelj says, "where does ming live in RL"

"On Starbase1.", says Hazed.

"I REAL LIFE!not in fed,or is he a fake that bella uses", says Michaelj.

"Are we ever going to get the Deport and Nationalize commands that your promised long ago?", asks Freakgod.

"Are you accusing the Emperor of the Galaxy of being a fake?", asks Hazed.

Hazed gasps in horror.

Freakgod is askin' questions now cause he hasta go in a little bit.

"hazed,have you ever heard of something called real life?", asks Michaelj.

Hazed says, "Yes, eventually... maybe by the end of the next Century."

Hazed asks, "No Michael. What is real life?"

Chiefsgirl was wondering why Freak was getting ahead of the schedule

"now,ming is not no emperor in real life", says Michaelj.

Brittany says, "what you are saying my hero ming is a fake. How will i ever live now"

Dead asks, "Hazed, is the Duke Puzz, EVER gonna get fixed????"

"ming is no emperor in real life i mean", says Michaelj.

Freakgod watches Hazed use her F-Key.

Hazed wonders how life can be any realer than it is here in Chez Diesel. She raps on the bar... it feels solid to her!

Michaelj asks, "or are you mings mother?"

"Duke puzzle... now which F-key was that? Ah yes...", says Hazed.

Hazed 's AnsaBot says: There are a few final bugs to knock out of Genesis, it's very nearly there.

Hazed exclaims, "No, wrong key!"

Hazed 's AnsaBot says: We're still working on the background coding necessary for the Duke puzzle, but we've encountered a big bug that the programmer is trying to track down, so no ETA I am afraid.

Hof chuckles

Hazed says, "That's better."

"Those lashes Ming gives feel pretty real too.", says Galinfenner.

Chiefsgirl giggles

Galinfenner grins

"See, I am prepared.", says Hazed.

"tell crypto i can fix his little bug", says Michaelj.

Hazed can see the headlines in The Underground - Shock, Horror, Hazed uses macros to deflect questions.

Dead smiles, "let me work on it, like help ya, Dead loves to fix computer stuff, does it all the time"

Bittiba smiles

"®", says Michaelj.

Hazed says, "Gosh, that's just so kind of both of you, and it's much appreciated, but... (and it's a pretty big BUT) nobody is allowed to play with the code except the programmer, for security reasons"

Freakgod is about to ask an off the wall question...

Freakgod says, "What does it look like when you type Sc? (Hazed)"

Michaelj says, "oh,crypo is just going to get slime all over it and make it bigger"

Hazed says, "Is says my name is Hazed, my sex is Female, my rank is Demi-Deity, Bank Balance is huge, Stats are immeasurable, and I have a Fleet class spaceship."

Jonathan smiles, "How do you remain objective with game responsibilities?"

"It also says I am in Sol system, teleport address 245.", says Hazed.

"i wanna see it", says Michaelj.

"Jonathan, I don't know what you mean... can you explain?", asks Hazed.

"i dont want the code, i want the info on the prob and i will let my virus maker make a copy, not from your and have 3 others make diffrent copies and work around the diffrent bugs not knowing which is a bug or not and give ya my feedback....", says Dead.

Hof looks at old pics of his melted com and refuses to talk about Crypto in any shape or form!

"just offering a little knowledge, even though you know alot more than i do", says Dead with a wink.

"heh.crypto did that?", asks Michaelj.

Hazed says, "Oh, I don't know anything about programming, Dead."

Jonathan smiles, "How do you separate work from entertainment?...How do you not let yer mood effect decisions?"

Freakgod vanished.

"she's just mings mother", says Michaelj.

Hazed says, "Jonathan, I have a lot of experience at doing it, and I have a couple of rules I follow:"

Michaelj says, "she lets bella boss her aroud"

Dead smiles, "oh... i know alot, programed a 333 Mhz comp. By myself"

"I never come into Fed if I've had a few drinks or anything, or deal with my mail. Never.", says Hazed.

Jonathan listens intently..

Hazed says, "If I am tempted to say something rude, I sit on my hands for a few minutes and think it over."

Hazed says, "And mostly, I always use humor to deflect any situation."

"Except for when I am dealing with Galin. Then I just tell him what I think of him.", says Hazed.

Hazed grins.

Galinfenner grins

Hazed exclaims, "Gosh, such profound questions, and we haven't even started yet!"

Hof smiles, "LOL Crypto melted em with a public service announcement Michael !! I got so many tb's after that It melted"

Brittany says, "what is the history of fed any way"

"I will tell you that once we get started.", says Hazed.

"okie dokie", says Brittany.

Chiefsgirl climbs up on her barstool and clears her throat

Chiefsgirl says, "Hello and welcome everyone to this week's duchy review."

"oh no run she is going to sing", says Tgruxer.

"Tonight we have the pleasure of our guest being the demi-goddess herself, Hazed", Chiefsgirl says.

Jonathan smiles and claps!

Michaelj covers his ears

Singapore applauds

Chiefsgirl says, "She will tell you a bit about herself and then field questions"

Dead claps

Hazed smiles modestly.

Brittany claps an whistles

"So that Hazed may answer as many questions as possible, please raise your hand if you have one after her opening comments", Chiefsgirl says.

"We will take you in order. Please don't start shouting out questions", Chiefsgirl smiles.

"Thank you", Chiefsgirl says.

Dead sits next to his mom

Chiefsgirl plops down on her stool and applauds for Hazed

Hazed says, "Thank you."

Hof applauds

"Well if I were to tell you a little of my history in Fed, it would also be the history of Fed itself, since I was there when the Universe was created.", says Hazed.

Hazed says, "I was the very first player to play the game, when it was still in alpha-test, and was being demoed at a computer show."

Hazed says, "This was over ten years ago, in the UK."

"oh,ming wasnt?", asks Michaelj.

Hazed says, "Yes, before I was a demi-Goddess, I was a player, one of the top players for the first years of Fed's life."

Hazed says, "However when Fed crossed the Atlantic and first opened up in the US, on the GEnie network, in 1990 I stopped being a player and became volunteer staff"

"Kind of the equivalent of a Host, but there were no such things in those days. There was just me, arranging the occasional special event, answering maybe 10 letters a week.", says Hazed.

Brittany leans forward listening very intently

Hazed says, "But, not long before Fed moved onto AOL, I bought my way into the company and became one-third of Interactive Broadcasting - like Victor Kayam, I liked the game so much, I bought the company."

"I guess that's the ultimate in rising through the ranks.", says Hazed.

Chiefsgirl laughs

Dead laughs

"So, I have seen Fed grow from its first days, when the highest rank was Commander, and we got excited if there were more than 3 people on at once...", says Hazed.

Hof raises hand

Hazed says, "To its time on GEnie, when the first player-planets were put in, and we increased usage to something like 20 players on at one time"

Hazed says, "To AOL when they still charged for usage, when we generally got between 50 and 100 players"

"Then under the flat-rate with the overcrowding you probably all remember, up to 700 players, all chasing after the beaker", says Hazed.

"bet you where happy then", says Michaelj.

"And finally, the move to the web, with numbers back down to their pre-flat-rate days", says Hazed.

Chiefsgirl giggles

Donny nods his head

Njrudeboy remembers waking up at 4AM to find the voucher

Wsprano remembers those days... and likes the return very much

Hazed says, "During my time as a player, I had the privilege of seeing the game evolve as new ranks were added, and of having input into the way the game was shaped. Even in those days I produced a weekly news bulletin detailing changes and new

features."

Hazed says, "One of these days I will get round to posting those old old old newses on the web site"

Bsacarl applaudes

"So... that's enough verbiage from me, for now. Let's throw it open for questions.", says Hazed.

"good idea", says Donny.

Michaelj raises hand

Chiefsgirl asks, "Hof, you had a question?"

Bsacarl raises hand

"Who was player # 2 ?", asks Hof.

Hazed says, "At the demo I spoke of, the players were me, and someone called Angelique."

Hazed says, "She never became a regular player."

Chiefsgirl asks, "Michaelj....your question?"

Hazed says, "The top players once the game went live were me, Linebacker, Pegasus (who later became a mobile) and Hawk. The 4 of us kind of chased each other up the ranks."

Hof nods thanks

Michaelj says, "what rank were you when before you became a host or whatever"

Hazed says, "I was an Explorer - that was the highest rank in those days. Bella was just designing the workbench, and in fact I did design a planet although it didn't actually get put into the game until we moved to AOL."

"It was called Deep and in fact I am going to put it back in, I'm working on it now so you should see it in a few weeks.", says Hazed.

Brittany says, "what planet was that"

Galinfenner applauds

Hazed says, "Just to make you jealous... I'm using a pre-release version of Genesis to do the planet."

Hazed looks smug.

"Bsacarl...your question?", Chiefsgirl asks.

"when will the duke puzzle become a reality?", asks Bsacarl.

Hof chuckles

Singapore raises hand.

Hazed 's AnsaBot says: We're still working on the background coding necessary for the Duke puzzle, but we've encountered a big bug that the programmer is trying to track down, so no ETA I am afraid.

Jonathan winks and says, "f key #1"

Chiefsgirl giggles

"Dead...your question?", Chiefsgirl asks.

Asmiller offers Hazed a giant can of Raid ..

Asmiller smiles, "dat helps fix bugs good"

"guess youll be coming in more with a planet", says Michaelj.

Hof raises hand again !

Hazed says, "Actually, it's number 7. Number 1 is my favorite drink. Which I will buy you later."

Dead asks, "what was your first name on fed? or was it always Hazed?"

Hazed says, "My first name was Pugwash - named after a children's cartoon character called Captain Pugwash."

"heh", says Michaelj.

Hazed says, "Pugwash is the owner of Deep... type DI DEEP."

"neat", says Dead.

Michaelj raises hand

"Pugwash started out male, but I realized quite soon I didn't like role-playing a man, so I suicided and came back female - this was before you could change your sex", says Hazed.

Chiefsgirl asks, "Singapore. your question?"

"can i ask one last /", says Dead.

Dead asks, "question?"

Singapore asks, "What is IBgame's long term intentions towards Fed? And a follow-up question: What new developments can we look forward to aside from Genesis and the Duke puzzle?"

"Pugwash became known as The Sexiest [whatever rank she was at the time]", says Hazed.

"i'll wait", says Dead.

Dead raises his hand again

"We have no plans to close down Fed-the-text-game as long as there are people willing to play it.", says Hazed.

"Is there a Fed-more-den-the-text-game in da works?", smiles Jonathan.

Hazed says, "Long-term, we plan to produce a kind of graphic-Fed - something that has all the flavour that makes Fed what it is, but uses a graphical interface."

"good", says Michaelj.

Singapore nods.

Hof remembers meeting Pug someone ( not Pugmarley) and that person saying they were first player in fed ;) hmmmmmmmmmm

:)

Njrudeboy thinks he will be a lonely fedder one day

"that will be atrick", says Dead.

Hazed says, "New developments for Fed: well it's no secret that we have a long, long, long, long list of things that need to be done to Fed."

Asmiller asks, "ya mean will be able to spy folks in 3d?"

Hazed exclaims, "Up to and including the Martian invasion!"

Asmiller cheers!

Hazed says, "Hof, that may have been me."

"Something like Fed meets Privateer for the graphics version?", asks Singapore.

"i need to find a good duke when i get to PO", says Michaelj.

Asmiller chuckles

Hof winks and says, "lol i figured it was"

Hazed says, "I can't give you any more details Sing, because we're talking several years away, and we don't know what game technology will be like then."

Michaelj rasies hand

Singapore nods, having used to work for a game company.

Chiefsgirl asks, "Hof, your question?"

Hazed says, "Going back to the medium=term development of Fed, we have a lot of work to do, both on Fed, and on the web site, such as putting in message boards and chat rooms. But we have limited resources, so I can't give any estimates..."

"Or when what things will be done. sorry.", says Hazed.

Hof winks and says, "Who was feds first fighter and can I build a statue to him or her"

"I was Hof ..", says Asmiller with a wink.

Asmiller poses

Bsacarl snickers

"Hmmm... well a number of people were considered expert fighters in the early days but the best was Pegasus - which is why he was commemorated with a mobile!", exclaims Hazed.

Njrudeboy must rephrase ... will be part of the loneliest couple in Fed ;)

Michaelj says, "i would a good fighter would be whoever built arena for ming"

Hof smiles Pegasus it is then :)

Chiefsgirl asks, "Michaelj, your question?"

"i would think...", says Michaelj.

Hazed says, "You can never have too many statues of Pegasus."

"i forgot", says Michaelj.

Chiefsgirl giggles

Hazed asks, "You forgot your question?"

"yes", says Michaelj.

Chiefsgirl asks, "Dead, your question?"

Hazed prods Michaelj.

Bsacarl laughs

"Stick your hand up again when you remember it, then.", says Hazed.

Hof orders pegasus emblem for his ship !!!

Wsprano raises his hand

Michaelj throws a spider at hazed

Chiefsgirl asks, "Dead...your question?"

"where did you get the name Hazed from, Hazed?", asks Dead.

Hazed says, "When I post the old newses you will get to see the stories of Pegasus and his fights."

Hazed grins.

Hof smiles

Hazed says, "Ah, Dead, that's a very interesting question. I am glad you asked me that. It's a bit of a long story, so everyone get comfy."

Michaelj says, "ill check my facs"

Galinfenner sits and drinks

Jonathan orders a bottle o tequila

Dead get comfortable next to is mom

Hazed says, "When Fed first started, there was no manual. Bella told the first few players what to do, and they told the new players who came in."

Singapore leans back, and puffs on his cigar...

"But a manual was needed, so Pegasus and I were press-ganged by Bella, on the promise of some bottles of wine (which she STILL hasn't paid me!) to write a manual for the game.", says Hazed.

Asmiller slips into his silk Ming jammies

Hazed says, "We were determined our manual wouldn't be a boring list of facts that nobody would want to read: we set out to write something both informative and entertaining."

Dead buys you a pillow

Michaelj has bought you an a big bag of oreos!

"And to aid us in our tasks, we imbibed large quantities of Jack Daniels and other such beverages. And the name we chose to publish the guide under was Hazed-by-Alcohol - because we were - shortened to H-by-A.", says Hazed.

Hazed says, "Then when I stopped being a player and became volunteer staff, I needed a new name, so I chose Hazed."

"There you are.", smiles Hazed.

Chiefsgirl asks, "Wsprano your question?"

"Has any Thought gone into asking the say... 5-10 longest waiting Baron/types if any are interested in a Puzzleless promotion to ease Sol and make the game better for the general player/long tearm players?", asks Wsprano.

Hazed says, "And at that time you could give your ships names, and the ship was called Alcohol."

"cool, i always wondered where you got your name", says Dead with a wink.

Dead laughs

Asmiller snags bag of Oreos, twirls and licks all the creamy fillin

Hazed says, "Unfortunately it doesn't work like that... the problem is that the mechanism that does the promoting bit needs to be worked on - the bit that turns a leisure planet into the capital of a duchy, sets up the duchy, and so on."

"i remember the part saying "there is a low chance of your finding a bug in fed(stop laughing at the back)"", says Michaelj.

Hazed says, "That's right"

Hazed grins.

Galinfenner grins

"remember that guy who got blasted in a hospital", says Michaelj.

Rukiddingm raises her hand.

Hazed asks, "Who is next?"

Wsprano says, "If this is done in C, C++ or anything Close... It Could be done.."

"Ruk your question", Chiefsgirl says.

Rukiddingm wants to mark her calendar. Is Hazed going to be at the convention in August every day?

"Ws, yes the game is coded in C++, but it's still work that has to be done.", says Hazed.

Dead raises his hand

Michaelj rsises his hand

Wsprano Volenteers to do the work....

"Probably... I won't know for sure until I book my flights and stuff. Although we might not stick around for the Sunday.", says Hazed.

"Selena of the Spaceways will be there, in person, on Saturday night.", says Hazed.

Hazed says, "So if you can only go on one day, that's the day to go."

"thougth she was a fake", says Michaelj.

"Cant we just shoot for a D - and get a passing grade to Duke?", asks Asmiller.

Hazed says, "Fake? You are awfully fond of that word."

Rukiddingm says, "Okies, going to swipe someone's porter and stop in and visit everyone, incognito, of course."

Hazed grins.

"Dead, your question", Chiefsgirl says.

"this may be a stupid question, but who is you husband/ do you even have one?", asks Dead.

Chiefsgirl will do the incognito thing too

Singapore raises eyebrow...

Chiefsgirl raises her hand

Hazed says, "It's a very stupid question. I don't have a husband, never have had, and never will."

Hazed is mildly shocked at the very idea.

Bsacarl raises an eyebrow

Wsprano cant help but laugh...

Chiefsgirl says, "Michaelj, your question"

Hazed says, "I don't need a husband when I have all Fed players as my slaves."

"I'll be east to spot I'll be the one with the scythe", smiles Deathiscome.

Cficare chuckles.

"Erk....", says Singapore.

Wsprano Knew that one was on the way... ;)

Michaelj says, "who was the very first persion to be restored?and what happened to him"

Deathiscome says, "errr easy even"

Dead says, "sorry"

Hazed asks, "Not to mention the Navs and Hosts who cater to my every whim, don't you Galin darling?"

Asmiller laughs

Dead hides in the corner in shame

"You mean, restored from dead-dead?", asks Hazed.

Michaelj says, "yes"

Galinfenner grins and nods

Hazed says, "Ok, this is another slightly long story because I will approach it from an oblique angle."

"I was the first player to die dead-dead at a high rank. Mind you, the rank was Trader, but it was the highest rank at the time and it had taken 6 months to get there.", says Hazed.

Asmiller gets protractor hearing aid, listens intently

Wsprano waves to all as he heads for beddie bye...

Wsprano has given Hazed a passionate tickle!

Wsprano has bought you a drink!

Hazed says, "After I cried all over Bella, and we thought about it, the decision was taken that nobody would get restored after DD, not even if they were Bella's pals. SO I had to start again. And that set the precedent."

Nickhexum has just left.

Hazed says, "Even Barb, who DDed at a very high rank, had to start over."

Michaelj says, "to bad"

Hazed says, "So, in all Fed's history, there has only been ONE person to get restored, and that was because he was killed by a genuine game bug."

Michaelj says, "i think he was a PO"

"And sad to say, I can't remember the guy's name! Although it was during the AOL years so you could find the story by looking through the yearbooks.", says Hazed.

"Poseidon?", asks Grendell.

"No, I really don't remember.", says Hazed.

"Jtmoomau", says Asmiller.

Barb shrugs vaguely

"No point guessing, I don't remember at all.", says Hazed.

Galinfenner can't remember either.

"howd he DD", says Michaelj.

"No thats who it is ..", says Asmiller.

Tgruxer says, "it wasnt me"

Asmiller says, "er was"

Bsacarl pokes Michaelj

Hazed says, "Well it was tied up with the Snark puzzle... there is a mobile on Snark that, if you meet him under certain circumstances, kills you."

Deathiscome says, "yeah in the back"

"This guy was on a player planet and the PO of that planet had a mobile that had the same name as the Snark mobile.", says Hazed.

Hazed exclaims, "So the guy died, woke up in hospital, and the mobile walked into the room and the game didn't check WHICH mobile or which planet he was on, and killed him stone dead!"

Hazed says, "Took us a while to figure out what had happened."

"ow", says Michaelj.

"When we did, we restored his character.", says Hazed.

"I'm not going to say what mobile it was because I don't want to give away puzzle secrets.", says Hazed.

Chiefsgirl asks, "The dukes and duchesses of Fed had an informal ducal debate during the free weekend and the question came up would Fed ever again raise the number of planets allowed per duchy?"

"We don't have any plans to... the current pressure on duchy space will be eased when the Duke puzzle goes back in.", says Hazed.

Hazed says, "If after that there is still pressure, we will consider it."

Michaelj says, "the duke puzzle will be jammed"

Cficare is amazed at how fast Hazed types.

Michaelj says, "when it opens"

Chiefsgirl asks, "Any other questions?"

"Yes, actually before I got into this I was a shorthand-typist, I trained and can type very fast.", says Hazed.

Hazed grins

"Just as well really!", exclaims Hazed.

Michaelj raises hand

"I've forgotten my short-hand though.", says Hazed.

Hof has 1 more ?

Asmiller behaves

Chiefsgirl says, "Hof, your question"

Hof asks, "I have seen Senators and other ranks I believe how do ya get to that rank ???"

"Senator is not a player rank. Actually right now it's a bit of a hotch-potch but we're going to make it more sensible soon...", says Hazed.

"Senator right now has two uses. 1) It's the rank that we put IB staff, who don't have any management responsibility in Fed.", says Hazed.

"ask icedrake how he got to senator", says Michaelj.

Hof says darn I was hoping to have a senator in my back pocket ;)

Asmiller asks, "Can I forfeit my duke spot and become a Senator?"

Hazed says, "2) It's used by some promo characters. But they will soon move to a separate rank so as to clear up the confusion."

"Sorry, the only way to be a Senator is to come work for us. And no, we don't have any vacancies right now!", exclaims Hazed.

"Any more?", asks Hazed.

Cficare tears up his application.

Michaelj raises his hand

Chiefsgirl asks, "Michaelj?"

Asmiller says, "Oh ... Im mot desperate enff to work for ya, thank ye though"

Hazed asks, "You haven't forgotten your question again, have you?"

Hof laughs

Michaelj asks, "can ming DD?if so,what will happen to sol if he does?"

Hazed says, "Ming is the Emperor... you think he can't get a clone whenever he wants? Of course he can't DD."

"Oh - I promised you all the drink I have on F-key 1. Brace yerselves...", says Hazed.

Hazed has bought you a glass of something pink and frothy with a cherry in it, slices of orange, lemon and lime, icecubes shaped like elephants, a Chez Diesel swizzle stick, a curly straw, a pink umbrella and a monkey hanging off the side of the glass!!

Barb raises her hand to ask the traditional "official Fed question".

"say you bribe the right person,and he cant get a clone", says Michaelj.

Chiefsgirl thanks Hazed for her second one this evening

"Barb, your question?", Chiefsgirl asks.

"Michael, he can top any bribe you can imagine.", says Hazed.

Barb asks, "Why does it always rain in Manchester?"

Chiefsgirl giggles

Ikspec whispers something to Hazed about F-Keys and giggles.

"The current poor weather in the UK is, I am afraid, my fault.", says Hazed.

Barb grins

"you made ming cry", says Michaelj.

Michaelj says, "how hes angry"

"You see, the last few years we've had hot summers and I don't like hot weather, so I suffered greatly, and muttered about buying an air conditioning unit. But never got round to it.", says Hazed.

"no air!", exclaims Deathiscome.

"This year, we had some hot-ish weather in May so I actually went out and got one. And, the day it was delivered, the weather turned bad.", says Hazed.

Hazed shrugs.

Bsacarl says, "thank goodness"

Chiefsgirl laughs

Kariscats grins

Jonathan has just vanished.

Hazed says, "So my air conditioning unit made everyone in England cooler."

"Pretty efficient, if you ask me.", says Hazed.

Barb smiles

"wait till ya get the bill", says Deathiscome.

Hazed asks, "Any more questions from my adoring public?"

"come to Texas please and do that here?", says Kariscats with a wink.

Dead raises his hand for another dumb question

"Dead, your question", Chiefsgirl says.

Hof winks and says, "Hey Barb, I loved that party you didn't have and that I didn't attend! ;) You must do it again sometime"

Rukiddingm laughs at Kariscats comment.

"I promise not to invite you the next time I don't have another party, Hof", smiles Barb.

"does just the us play this fed, or are people from the UK playing on this fed from time to time?", asks Dead.

Hof chuckles

Barb winks at Hof

"We have a lot of UK players, and also players from lots of other countries.", says Hazed.

Chiefsgirl glances at Hof the party animal

"Now we're on the Internet, it really is available world-wide.", says Hazed.

Dead says, "ok, never knew if we did, thanks"

"Any more?", asks Hazed.

Grendell asks, "yes...who do I have to bribe to get my post to stay at the very top even when others post after me?"

Asmiller says, "me Grendell .."

"Barb is in charge of the official bribe list: please see her after we finish.", says Hazed.

Barb hauls out the Official Fed Bribe List

Barb grins

"er Barb too ...", says Asmiller.

Chiefsgirl giggles

Asmiller says, "er Barb I meant"

Grendell smiles and nods.

Rukiddingm tries to peer over Barb's shoulder to see the list...

"what is this bribe list", says Tgruxer.

Hazed says, "Any more before I nose-dive into my keyboard? For those not familiar with time zones, it's quarter to four here."

Barb blinks

Hazed yawns so widely you could drive a spaceship into her mouth!

Chiefsgirl shudders

"someone doesn't know what a bribe is? my my my", says Barb.

Chiefsgirl asks, "Any other questions?"

Hof winks and says, "Ackkk Thanks for being here Hazed 4 wow you are nuts"

Galinfenner grins

"where in england do you live? Hazed", says Dead.

"Are titles still costing 400,000,000 Barb?", asks Asmiller.

"It was nice meeting you Hazed.", says Bsacarl.

Hazed says, "I live in London."

"Let me give you all one more blast on my specially-prepared f-keys...", says Hazed.

Hazed 's AnsaBot says: We're still working on the background coding necessary for the Duke puzzle, but we've encountered a big bug that the programmer is trying to track down, so no ETA I am afraid.

Hazed 's AnsaBot says: There are a few final bugs to knock out of Genesis, it's very nearly there.

Dead smiles, "cool, i know people who live in Essex"

"I want to thank Hazed for being our guest", you smile.

Hof applauds

Rukiddingm applauds

Bsacarl applaudes

Barb smiles, "we have players from Essex, Dead"

Dead applauds

Hazed says, "I have enjoyed it, and thanks for keeping order, Chiefsgirl."
