Weekly Update for August 15th, 2004

News:
We're still soliciting player histories for the staff documentation. Anything's fair game for a write-up of your character. What do you want remembered about your character? What did s/he do, and who did s/he interact with? What would other members of her/his clan remember, what stories would the grandchildren tell? Write-ups of past clans, including the slew of player-created desert elf tribes, are also quite welcome. Let us immortalize you. Send your emails to sanvean@armageddon.org.

Staff applications are no longer being accepted. Watch the GDB for updates.

We are coming 2nd at The Mud Connector and 6th at the Top Mud Sites. Thanks for voting!
