World Weavers News

September 1999

------------------Warriors Wanted!-----------------

"Beneath the stars that drip with blood I stand, defiant and alone. I am here, my Emperor. Call on me, I beg of thee. I was nothing before this day and shall I remain if I cannot serve thee now. Pain and suffering are my just rewards. Do with me as serves thee best. It matters not that I survive, only that I defend. Forfeit of life, but not of honor, in thy cause, death at last is welcome. I am here my Emperor, ready at last to be an instrument of thy will. Ready to obey and die."

With this Oath of Empire join the Klingons in honor and glory! Explode strange new worlds, wipe out new life forms and enslave new civilizations. Boldly cause damage where no Klingon has caused damage before.

No Federation Universal Code of Military Behavior. No Prime Directive. No hypocracy. No negotiated settlements. No stinking lily-livered, pathetically sniveling, mealy mouthed, whiny little Feddie wimps.

Join us and die . . . with honor.

Contact Kevin Geiselman, <kordite@fyi.net> with a character bio. Klingons only.

------------------In Nomine On A Roll--------------

The newest addition to the worlds of World Weavers, In Nomine, is off to a roaring start. With 26 writers signed up in the first two weeks and more to come, In Nomine now has three units with a fourth one in the works. Congratulations, Lyn, and a huge thank you to all of the writers who are helping to make In Nomine a success.

------------------Officers Wanted------------------

Starfleet has openings for officers in the Counseling, Medical, and Science departments. Explore the galaxy, meet new life forms and new civilizations, and boldly go into the vast unknowns of space. Writers need have no experience with Star Trek to be a part of Starfleet. For more information, visit the Starfleet Web page at http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~roboman/starfleet.html or contact the Personnel Office at <shatavari@flashcom.net>

------------------Looking for Staff----------------

Camp Venture is in need of talented, patient individuals to help train and mentor World Weavers' new writers. CV Staff must have a good knowledge of at least one world, good writing skills, and the ability to explain how interactive fiction works to new writers.
