(ADMIN: Welcome to the "School's Back" (at least here) edition of the
 Dragon's Inn Bulletin Board. The BB is used mainly for announcements
 from a "character" to the group, but just send me stuff if you're in
 doubt about what's "proper". Additions, comments, corrections, etc.
 are MORE than welcome...)

                  RANGER/ARCHER LOOKING FOR WORK
                  Wishes to see the world
                  Willing to provide guard, tracking,

 join in. If anyone has any info, please give me a ring.]

<ed: It's also my understanding that Hubarak will be hanging around
 the inn until Matt finds a PBEM, thus Hubarak could be used in
 conversations at least.>

 have run out of entries...>

Congradulations Helen. Please stop by the Library to collect your prize.
We hope you and a guest enjoy your meal at the Silver Stallion (tm).
To the rest of you who participated: thanks, and have a drink on us.

OTHER ACTIVE NOTES THIS WEEK:

Posted: Unknown
By: Imports, Exports and Arms (gujn@uniwa.uwa.edu.ca, Jeremy Nelson)
Content:

WE apologise for any time distortions in the local
area, however, due to testing of a device (Henceforward
known as 'The Thing'), the local timestream has become
dislocated.

There is no danger, however some people may undergo
slight disorientation.

Some people may apparently find themselves in multiple
locations at one time. We assure customers that
this is not dangerous, and all time lines are in fact
continuous, and will striaghten themselves out in time.

We recommend leaving early for any important appointments.

Normal service will be restored tomorrow, yesterday,
in three weeks' time and in three hundred and thirty
years.

All complaints should be forwarded to:
           Imports, Exports, and Arms.

<ed: Actually, complaints should go to Listener, who will "play" them out of
 you. This has proven to be too valuable, IMHO.>

We thank you for your consideration.

TO: Future Clerics of Xyvv or Black Robes

The temple of Xyvv has been recently finished. All interested can
apply to me for testing.

<ed: I known the invasion thread may RIP, but someone mentioned Xyvv in a
 post this week, and I nearly anyways respond to feedback! Tell me if you
 want it out of here, however.>

              - HELP WANTED -
              ---------------

<ed: below stuff is from my memory --I lost {:-(!} the original copy>
    FOR: Post Master General (Position # 711 <good enough> )

Duties include:
    Receiving mail from foreign dignitaries and placing it on an
    appropriate place.

    Relaying mail to the forementioned dignitaries from the
    local citizens.

     Overseeing the Guild of Couriers and its activities, which include
    paying the Couriers, determining any mail charges, and buying
    brewskies for Cliffie {:-)!}.
<ed: Back to "Bilbo"'s stuff now...>

Applicants must have:
    A reliable mailer-daemon, who can be trusted to receive and send messages
    and diplomatic pouches without eating them, and who can forward messages
    in a timely manner.

    Applicants should be fire-resistant. The Post Office has been known to
    receive the occassional letter covered in burning pitch (these are
    usually addressed to the Post Master).

Please send all applications to the retiring Post Master at:
      af140@yfn.ysu.edu (Bilbo "Mail-Bag" Baggins)

[ADMIN: There exist out there in net.land, people who would like to visit
 Generica and interact with its citizens. These poor unfortunates lack
 proper access to the Usenet and can not post directly to APD-I. What I am
 looking for is someone to act as a proxy-poster (Post Master) for these
 individuals. (I know of only one at the moment).

<ed: Mike Bavister is "temporarily" handling two now, but there are BOUND to
 be more, what with school coming back and all. What they need is someone who
 can handle posts for them while not (necessarily) being involved in their
 "quest". So, if you think you can handle a few, E-mail Bilbo>

     If you are interested in performing this infrequent but valuable
service, and could proxy-post with a short turn-around and on a regular
basis, please send your "application" (name, e-mail address, etc) to "Bilbo".
Note: the Post Office is NOT affiliated with the Dragon's Inn Bulletin Board.]

Deleted due to: Contest winner found (see above)
Content:

            -*- BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT -*-

As some of you may already know, 1Meg went into labor over the
weekend, and late last night gave birth to twin boys. Each
weighed in at 5.5 ounces and is a healthy shade of sky blue.
At 1Meg's suggestion, we are preposing a "name the twins"
contest here at the Inn. For the next week I'll be accepting
suggestions, and will announce the winner and "honorable"
mentions here on the Bulletin Board. As incentive for all
of you to participate, I'll buy a drink for each person
who submits names (one drink per customer, not per suggestion),
and the winner will receive a full course meal for two at the
_Silver Stallion_ (where the waiters are snooty but the food is
excellent.
    Note: please come to my table or to the Library to give
me your suggestions (i.e. use e-mail), as there is no need to
yell out your ideas and disturb other patrons (i.e. don't post
these to APD-I).

Zenith & 1Meg & ______ & _______

Well, that's it... Hopefully see you BY next Monday...
