 needed arms, I will reward you with gold for equipment taken from
 slain Vlaurkans. There is big money to be earned - our best seller,

On Mon Apr 16 10:09:19 2001 I had an interview with the famous
Celestial The chaotic Purveyor of Anarchy (immortal)
Below is a literal representation of that conversation.

Shorleck: Tell something about yourself outside MS, what nationality are you,
          what do you do in your spare time from ms anything you want to share
          with us ?
Celestial: I'm an Aussie (ocker slang for an Australian).  I enjoy reading,
           surfing the net, solving puzzles and writing programs.

Shorleck: What is your favorite place within the realms of MS ?
Celestial: Currently?  My favourite place, is my wizard room.  There I can create
           inventions of unbelievable terror that I am about to unleash on
           players (muhahaha), um, erm.  Scratch that ;-).  Well, I used to enjoy
           hunting in Everlund, Bloodwych, Bazzinia, Shadowlands, Valhall, but, I
           guess my favourite would have to be Bloodwych.  That place is scourge

           by evil.

Shorleck: What place do you hardly ever go to and why not ?
Celestial: I rarely want to go Hades and therefore I don't want to go to many
           places that hurry my return there.  There are quite a few bad places
           that fit that category.  Who want's to wake up from the lag to find
           that "You're dead"?

Shorleck: From all the quests you did, which one did you enjoy the most, what
          made it special ?
Celestial: I think I enjoyed fighting the Priest of Brackmore keep.  It was a
           quest if I bang my head often enough and revisit often enough
           searching for new clues I'd make slow but steady progress.  In the
           end, solving it made it the most rewarding experience.  I can almost
           say the same for some others, but this was the first one that I had me
           keep an interesting challenge lasting for a few weeks.

Shorleck: What is your favourite weapon and why ?
Celestial: My favourite weapon was this weird looking whip.  It had several
           names.  I think it was called Conquerer or the Whip of Seige.  I liked
           it because it was so weird, especially when it wraped itself against
           your foe allowing you to pummel it some more.  It seemed ideally
           suited to me, because I don't think anyone else wielding it may have
           caused it to do some of the things it did for me.

Shorleck: Which monster is your biggest enemy ?
Celestial: My biggest monster is the bank balance of my bank account. Every time
           I check it, I scream in terror!!  ;-) [Just joking]. I guess Imrahil. 
           He's a goody NPC, but he can also be one nasty enemy.  I'd don't
           recommend anyone starting an argument with that Imrahil character.

Shorleck: What goals have you set for yourself here in MS, are you here for

Page 7

          chatting or you want to play or striving for wizhood ?
Celestial: Well, I'm wizzing about.  Just like my partner Hibiscus, I would like
           to invite you all to visit Vlandore.  It's our first effort as wizards
           here on MS and we like to think we did 'good'.  I have a some wizard
           projects in progress and I hope to share with the rest of MS in
           future.

Shorleck: Is there anything else you would like to add ?
Celestial: Think nice.  It's a simple message, but I think there is a trend of
           conflict festering here and sometimes it gets nasty, so, if you happen
           to find yourself in conflict, I urge you to step outside yourself and
           ask - do you really want to be fighting? In war, there will always be
           losers, in peace, everyone can be winners.


Here ended our conversation. I wish to thank Celestial

- Midnight Sun Mourns the passing of Shaft, who was taken from the
realms of the living on Apr 16 04:52:56 by A cute squirrel.

- A rescue party was sent to the lair of A Drelexor guard to recover
the body of Lancelot. The autopsy shows that the estimated time of
death was Apr 16 16:34:39.

- It has been discovered that a nasty altercation with A miner has
resulted in the untimely death of Iizk on Apr 15 21:15:06.

- It is with great sadness that we report the unexpected death of
Cryonic at the hands of A trapper on Apr 16 02:42:11. It appears to
be a case of self defense.
