Dark Castle Weekly
Issue 4
January 4, 2001
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy New Year!
I partied too much and now I�m sick. Let�s hope I
didn�t catch something that I�ll regret for the rest
of my life.
I checked out the clan websites on the Dark Castle
Website and noticed the Clan Solaris website. Does
anyone know of any websites with a list of the best
equipment for every class on Dark Castle? Also, are
the ones on the Solaris website correct?
Solaris Website:

There were no submissions in this week. I hear so
much bragging on gossip all the time but nothing to
show for it? Oh, come on!
I need some help with the Newbie Section from some
veterans. Any help from answering questions I have to
creating questions for the newbie trivia will be
greatly appreciated.
I�m sick so I�ll just copy off the mortal board to
make it look like I did some work on this issue. I
would have not sent this issue out as there is not
much on it but rather than starting a bad habit, I
decided to say better this than nothing.
Thank you still for reading.

Message 53 (Mon Jan 1): Pirahna - Donators
----------
Donators do not get any special treatment. You get
plats from
us as a token of our appreciation for your support,
which allows
us to keep from paying out of our own pockets to keep
the game
up. If you are a donator or not, and you cheat, you
get punished.
If you are a donator or not, and you have a valid
problem, you get
the same level of help from the imm staff. Any
decision we make in
the game will be decided without concern about
donations, and are
done in a way that does not hurt those that choose not
to donate.
Dark Castle is a free game. Anything a donator can
do, can be done
by non donators. This will stay that way as long as I
am an Imp on
this mud.

Some bug fixes made to solar gate.

thinking of
removing color from "Excellent" in order to make it
less gaudy
and not so annoying to look at. Shrug, opinions are

don't know if I like it yet or not. Email is best.

Jokes of the week
submitted by my friends
--------------------------------------------
A man walks into a pharmacy, buys a condom, then
walks out of the store laughing hysterically.
The
pharmacist thinks this
is weird, but, hey, there's no law preventing weird
people from buying
condoms.
Maybe it's a good thing.
The next day, the man comes back to the store,
purchases another
condom, and once again he leaves the store laughing
wildly.
This piques
the interest of the pharmacist. What's so funny about
buying a rubber, anyway?
So he tells his clerk "If
this guy ever comes back, I want you to follow him to
see where he goes."
Sure enough, the next day the laugher is back.
He
buys the condom, starts cracking up, then leaves.
The
pharmacist tells his clerk to go follow the guy.
About an hour later, the clerk comes back to the
store.
"Did you follow him? Where did he go?" asks the
pharmacist.
The clerk replies "Your house."
2) What did Bill Gates' wife say to him on their
wedding night ?
"Now I know why you named your company Microsoft!"
