Something a drunken Hithual might trip over on their way back to the bar.

1. His or her bar tab
2. A big yellow puddle
3. Another Hithual
4. Jurix
5. The AGC wench

These all should be pretty self explanatory, and no, I am not even going to say a thing about the second most popular answer. Ick! I would rather trip over Jurix five times in a row than even see that anywhere near me. I would rather trip over Jurix with the AGC wench with their bar tab and another Hithual five times in a row then trip over #2 once! Very Icky!

Arachnian most likely to get tangled up in their own webbing.

1. Cerdik
2. Creman
3. Krraskna
4. Raangel
5. Worlock

It happens to the best of ..er...ok the worst of them. They practice webbing one of their legs as spiderlings then move on up until they can web themselves successfully, once they have mastered that then and only then are they unleashed upon us all!

Council member most deserving of a long jail term.

1. Cynus
2. Dror
3. Kraggon
4. Rev
5. Rylek

My favorite top five subject of them all. If one 'mutt' can change his identity, why not the next 'mutt'? Has his name always been Cynus Dorn? Or did he used to be called Perin? The lying dog who gave Spur to the LoC years ago and who was thought to have been killed, but now many even doubt that and claim he is pretending to be the Seneschel, as if he cares being the traitor that he is. No wonder he aided the mutt in his little plots, and lied for him when he wanted it known he was on Wrathmar when in fact he wasn't on Wrathmar and got no where near the place. A traitor protecting a traitor, how sweet. Dror is next and from what I have seen and heard he needs to be locked up and forgotten about, forever. Kraggon the Hithual Lord who finally is taking matters into his own hands since when he brought up his concerns to this 'Cynus' person he got laughed at, and Rev is also felt to be deserving of some jail time. And of course what would this topic be if the lying, scoundrel, I will lick your boots in private if you only make me a Lord, San elf of Set who is always hiding something. Isn't that right elf? Most feel he should be sent to Wrathmar, one way trip of course.

Psycian most likely to go insane no matter how many drug doses they take.

1. Allie
2. Audiva
3. Alyndara
4. Allandra
5. Syntrik

Talk about an 'A' list..Wow! Sorry Alazam, you just didn't make it this time. I can't say much about the first two but Alyndara and Allandra do have one thing in common, their Frontacian friends of course! What did you think anyway!? That they share clothes? Well, I suppose they could also do that, hrm. Poor Syntrik, it seems you are doomed to go insane one of these days and even if you stop eating and just survive on your cure alone it won't matter! Jealous of you we ain't!

Penthanian most likely to give a damn about something ...... anything.

1. Firanlen
2. Liseli
3. Nomel
4. Sadat
5. Winter

Well, well, well. Aren't these five just overgrown Secians? I couldn't have picked a cuddlier, more caring lot myself. First on our list is the notorious Setite snuggler, Firanlen, with the emotionally vulnerable Psion Liseli close behind. Nomel has been spotted getting choked up over love poetry at the bardic recitals. Closing out our list are the tenderly sensitive mages Sadat and Winter. Group hug, everyone!

The Bashers
Nibiru Sirius

For this month's "Rise of the Classes," we have the Barbarians. Leading the guild is everyone's favorite idiot "Protector," Dror Sorreff! When he's not trying to eat the fountain in TSC, he's telling everyone under the sun that they're under arrest, and that they'd better come with him. Not much of a force to be reckoned with until he starts foaming! Second on the list, we have the freakish Usil Elf, Cagliostro Diomedes. Cagliostro can often be found in the Sage's guild, studying Usilin history and lore. But watch out when he can't find the manuscript he wants! Rumor has it that he ripped up a bunch of important documents in a fit of rage and is no longer allowed in the library. Next we have Kosmic and Dunkan the Hithuals, who are a force to be reckoned with (when they're not drunk!) Mariss the Oog-ra follows closely behind, as do Gurrtog and Jaeger, also Oog-ra's. Smashed between the three Oogs, we have Barracuda the Taathian Human, you bet I'd walk the other way if I encountered that guy in a dark alley. Rounding off the list, we have Oarblade the Hithual, and Nemprii the Monitanian. The rest of the list is dominated by Oog-ras, Thugians, Arachnians, Hiths, and some other rough-and-tumble types..

** Tchori Darkstar the Leuian ran into TSC the other day and promptly confused the golden drake Voskresenieye Solstice with his psionic abilities. Voskresenieye, too confused to know what color he is, stood there while the Psion Leuian clawed away at him. Tchori was then confused by a fellow Psion standing in the crowd. As Tchori was being fused by the same powers he has used, his confuse on the drake wore off and Vosk started clawing at Tchori, but missed! Kazil the Noble Fir Elf then ran upon the scene and the 2nd stage dragon fled from the mortals.

* Zefish Highwingus aka The Comet has been seeking Loa'Kass! He wants to have tea with him! He also wants us all to know that he has received two marks of his: a frozen purple rose, and a hooded purple cloak.... He also says he has killed Rynock and that he is a Ruler of the Anthians. That's Olds though. Well newer Olds is that, and I guess that's publishable. Speaking Anthian is obesely prohibited. Tell 'em that!

* There have been reports that there is a 500 gold reward payable to the person who knows the mutt's aka Changeman aka Remiron's new name. As to who offered the generous sum, I do not know yet. The wanted list in TS still shows his old name and that surely needs to be updated with his new name.

* Current members of the fanatical Edgewater Pride/Group: Tchori Darkstar, Tavin Darkstar,Morte Darkstar, Goldie Allarek, Khateul Tigerheart, Selabeth Dukhat, Gurrtog Trivvak, Tymas Lordall, Arclight Lastday, Netraa Denad, and a Dragon named Galen who is so loyal to them he lives in Edgewater and even hired the Leuian speaking Oog Gurrtog to teach him to speak the Leuian tongue. Guyver and Mashema have a home there in edgewater and it has been rumored that they privately support all that this new Pride does.. They also seem to be recruiting or trying to recruit members from the Spurian pride to come join them in Edgewater. A few nights back Tymas and Selabeth were speaking with Mala in the Rose about Edgewater. And Selabeth was also seen speaking with Clawntaka, a new Spurian Pride member about moving to Edgewater.

* A few weeks ago Tchori and Dror were heard speaking about the possible sentencing of Denix. It seems Tchori wanted Dror to put him in jail if Denix was also jailed so he could then kill Denix. Several times Tchori called Dror a good friend and Dror shared a lot of jailing info with Tchori. But since Tchori is now Dror's murderer I guess that won't ever happen, or was this just a not so subtle ploy by someone claiming to be honorable?

* A book, a tome of magick no less, was recently allegedly stolen from Treehaven. It seems this book was found at a shrine of Elindale, protected by Undead, and contained within it spells of necromancy." This tidbit of information has not yet been verified to be true as of this publication.

Rev

Rev, Rev, the unsinkable Hith!
Tried to mend Justice in his smith!
He hammered and hammered, perfecting away!
But still couldn't wield Justice
With any Just sway!

Valoria

Valoria is a dancer, or so her name says
She dances 'round Justice in many strange ways
Twirling and whirling and jumping about
Will she ever bring Justice? I seriously doubt.

Gellidus

Gellidus, that humorless Drake
A simple small joke he hardly can take
He claws and scratches, hissing this and that
He'd prob'ly get it if his head weren't so fat!

Saek

Saek, that slimy son of a newt
Has stench and odor extra to boot!
He insulted my darling,
And countered with snarling!
If I'se a fire mage, I'd burn him to soot!

Rich

I offered one silver coin to Rich
(As it was at it was payment for his advice)
He killed me there, without a twitch
And I forever curse him with scale lice!

Rynock

Rynock, that dumb Anthian Lord!
Used to enfore with the point of his sword
He trurned a new leaf
But I still give him grief
It seems I just strike the wrong chord!

Rynock II

Rynock, the Anthian, is really too proud
So on his past successes I'll be quite loud:
He did marry a monk
And had two affairs!
Which got him in a funk-
The likes which nothing compares!
He abused a fowl
Gave up his station
And with a scowl-
Ordered Kerensa's cremation!
It is really quite sad, the dung he's been through-
So I thought I'd dig it up and share it with you.

Berlan

Berlan, the Thug, is a very good Odarian
He's kindly and nice, much like a Flerian!
He's dressed in mail, from head to his boots
He shines of nobilty, right down to his roots!
He's a hero, to which that is sure
He fights back evil, true and pure!

Merlin

Merlin, Merlin, does he really even exist?
If seen, inform him that he's sorely missed.
I hear that he stays at a Tanga resort,
Instead of where he belongs: At Spurian court!
He basks and bathes in the warm Tanganese sun
Who thought being gov'ner could be so much fun?

Bullies

Thugians and Oog's like to push me down
And so do Drakes, and that makes me frown.
Why can't they just leave me alone?
Am I really truly that danger prone?
Why can't they be sent to a place real mean?
Some place like Wrathmar where they'll never be seen.
But bullies will be bullies, I suppose they say.
I just wish they'd be shipped real far away.

Tymas

Tymas, Tymas, that ignorant kitten!
With Odarous is he truly smitten!
He follows him blindly, without heed
Acting in His word, doing His deed
He's ignorant and stupid, a right mean ol Khat!
But thanks to Set, his purse will never be fat!

Kei

Kei Takenshi, that gorgeous Draggle,
She is a catch one would dream to snaggle!
He scales are a scintilating purple and gold
When she walks by, my legs doth fold!
To no others do her looks compare
When she passes by, all I do is just stare...
She swishes her tail and men fall to her feet
A life of such beauty must be quite sweet.
