WorldWide LordNet Sysop Of The Month Kitt Brown Of Kaboodle BBS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- <<(((KABOODLE)))>>> was created in May of 1994 and was originally intended to provide nothing more than a secure reliable means of receiving FidoNet messages here in Scenic Calhoun, Georgia. However, I realized it wasn't as much fun by myself, so I invited a few folks to utilize the bbs, by invitation only. Well, hmmm...I can't remember now precisely who it was that suggested I add a game to play here...Oh yes, it was WolfBoy...not sure whether to thank him or not...heh...but suffice it to say, of the 50 callers a day on our four nodes, the games menu is one of the most oft visited areas here. I've loaded probably 100 door games, currently run 23, of which 20 are registered, and three are new, but the one phenomena that never ceases to amaze me is the draw of Seth's Legend of The Red Dragon. EVERYONE loves it! I have users who call before they leave town to ask me to be sure their player doesn't get deleted. I have folks that fight for a node at one minute after midnight so as to try to foil their foes in the realm...night after night, month after month. It's amazing how you grow to look forward to your next day's adventure. I think that one of the many wonderful aspects of LORD as a door game on a bbs, is that it promotes messaging amongst players. It's been a delight to watch relationships (adversarial, friendly, and amorous) develop through daily messaging in the realm. Folks end up coming out of the game, and paging me to ask "Hey Kitt, who is soandso ?" The addition of LordNet has brought a new dimension to the bbs, in that there is now a sense of comraderie here instead of "let's pillage and slaughter each other at all costs" attitude. I personally prefer this, and my bloodthirsty band of realmsters still get their homicidal cravings quenched through LordNet. Forgetting for a moment the pride I take in our Internet features, our extensive file and cdrom files area, our Network messaging, and all the artwork that clothes these things, I could look at these four black computers with their 28800 modems, their Lantastic network, and their eager, shiny keyboards sittin on the counter as nothing more than the home of the Seth's realm at <<(((KABOODLE)))>>. NO NO NO Wake up...this has to all be a dream! PINCH.............NOPE..............YIKES ! And a few of my favorite taglines for your pleasure: You find a sack with 3000000 gold i..~^No Carrier Violet, whose sword IS that under the bed? Dragon Etiquette is incredibly comlex Never...EVER...french-kiss a dragon ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- No matter what was needed, Kitt has been there with good cheer, eager to help and GREAT patience. All of WorldWide LordNet owes her a debt of gratitude.
