Hi there, i know there are several topics on this already, but i wondered how i'd go about getting and starting up with miriani? loads of my friends are playing it and i just wondered how to get oing. any help would be appreciated.

## Post 2 by Dave_H (the boringest guy you'll ever know) on Thursday, 04-Oct-2007 0:42:18

In general, one plays games like Miriani with a moo or telnet client. You can use the generic Windows telnet client if you wish. There is one called Monkeyterm that is popular, and a sound pack that goes with it.
Once you've decided which client to use, connect it to toastsoft.net, port 1234. To create a new account, type "new" as your username, hit enter, and follow the prompts for creating account and your first character. As your new character, you should, first, go to an atm on any landing pad, and borrow enough to get your first ship (the one-person cargo hauler), or have a friend in the game get you the credits. I joined a friend on a few debris salvage missions and invested my earnings in my first ship.
All of this, and more, is documented on the site http://www.toastsoft.net.

hi, i'm there now, as kay scrimshaw. so if anyone sees me around, don't forget to say hi.

## Post 6 by kaiser (Generic Zoner) on Tuesday, 29-Jan-2008 13:39:58

Hmm. You applied to my org, Kay Skrimshaw! :p

## Post 7 by silly widdle dwagonish thingy (i'm stuck !) on Friday, 07-Mar-2008 0:18:09

hmm i was going to sign up to check this out but toastsoft.net port 1234 seems not to work

## Post 8 by silly widdle dwagonish thingy (i'm stuck !) on Friday, 07-Mar-2008 1:14:57

ok nevermind that above message, i did figure out the address and i signed up so i have to authorie or whatever but i got there.
I entered my email and where i heard about it and i got disconnected so i assume it was the end on signup?

## Post 9 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Friday, 07-Mar-2008 5:18:45

if anyone needs getting started help (with monkey term and jaws)
or needs in game pointers, see Calandria Zee in game, or me out of game.
I love helping!

## Post 10 by moyzey (i'm posting? huh?) on Friday, 07-Mar-2008 5:22:09

Same here. My char is Moy Zee, and I'm perfectly happy to help newby's

## Post 11 by silly widdle dwagonish thingy (i'm stuck !) on Friday, 07-Mar-2008 14:16:31

ok, is there a way to a: turn off all the chatter when your trying to read something, like the help files?and, is there a way to keep it from scrolling off the screen?i'm using the good ol' windows xp telnet..woohoo!

## Post 12 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Friday, 07-Mar-2008 15:13:13

to shut general comms up
turn comm gen
to turn off alliance, and general comms, simply
turn comm
(comm is communicator shortened.)
and no there's no way to keep it from scrolling away, dunno how telnet does with this, but with monkeyterm, there are scroll up and down buttons so you can look through backlog

## Post 13 by kamalani (Generic Zoner) on Friday, 07-Mar-2008 23:23:55

perhaps you need to type "site"... this disables all the visual stuff. maybe that will help. Anything else you want to know, well, you know how to find me. For anyone else I'm Alexandra Evans... I don't know everything yet but I can certainly try to help.

## Post 14 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Saturday, 08-Mar-2008 5:45:11

Yes, I will gladly help newbies who need it. My name on Miriani is Janice cartell. I do not usually communicate very much. My character is much like me in real life: quiet and observant.

## Post 15 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Saturday, 08-Mar-2008 9:01:32

typing sight fixes the starmap, but not sure what else it really does.

## Post 16 by star_singer (Generic Zoner) on Friday, 28-Mar-2008 0:59:08

## Post 17 by OrangeDolphinSpirit (Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how popular it remains?) on Friday, 28-Mar-2008 6:33:43

Typing sight makes combat missions easier, too. When you gotta repair and stuff.

## Post 18 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Sunday, 06-Apr-2008 2:00:56

ok the error your getting. all ya gotta do is reinstall, the scripts, the monkylib.exe file if u have it. If u don't just reinstall monkey, and that should fix it. I'm also always able to help out newbies, find me as blake madison, or waffles.

## Post 19 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Sunday, 06-Apr-2008 9:16:37

or, e-mail
hosts@toastsoft.net
for non annoying questions, say, if you can't connect.

## Post 20 by Albori (Newborn Zoner) on Monday, 07-Apr-2008 18:01:59

If you have problems with things scrolling off your screen in Miriani, you might want to check out HELP @MORE in the game. When enabled, the MOO will take care of buffering things for you until you type @more to receive the next burst of output.
Good luck!
P.S. I've never actually used @more myself, so it might be more trouble than it's worth. But it's something to try at least.
P.P.S. You might also find it easier to read help files in your web browser: http://toastsoft.net:1111/help

## Post 21 by cuddle_kitten84 (I just keep on posting!) on Sunday, 20-Apr-2008 14:03:24

yep the help files are good. my char is much like me in real life too and trust me, moy and calandria are brilliant helpers if you're new.

## Post 22 by south park fan (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Sunday, 20-Apr-2008 21:24:53

Hi all,
I tried Miriani a while ago and I don't like it. it is boring. I have much more exciting things to do than play Miriani.
I know many of you will not agree with me. One day, somebody missed dinner because they were busy playing Miriani. That is just stupid, i think. I would never miss dinner because of a game. i like to eat.

## Post 23 by cuddle_kitten84 (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 21-Apr-2008 7:18:52

yeah i mean, heck i'm not that bad but i do like the game.

## Post 24 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Monday, 21-Apr-2008 16:03:03

great. that's just great dave. What r u trying to do start another flaming war? Well, at least u gave it its chance. unlike some one I know.

## Post 25 by Coldshadow (supreme commander of the shadow fleet) on Thursday, 24-Apr-2008 22:09:46

holy shit, albori is around?

## Post 26 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Friday, 25-Apr-2008 18:24:52

mmhmm him and maragul.

## Post 27 by cuddle_kitten84 (I just keep on posting!) on Sunday, 18-May-2008 17:19:33

yep, best hoasts. sorry, any other hoasty if you're on here. also, wanted to know if there was an email list for miriani.

## Post 28 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Sunday, 18-May-2008 21:12:12

I don't think so, but that would be awesome if their was. I need to get on more offten, but since I don't have sounds, because I am using a mac right now, its a little hard to keep up with it.

## Post 29 by silly widdle dwagonish thingy (i'm stuck !) on Monday, 19-May-2008 0:04:18

i admit im not that great, but every few hours after i get a char and start de bris salvage and mail delivery, etc, the small stuff for now, I seem to come across some trigger happy person that likes to blow up new pilots or fairly new, i am on about my 6th name/ship..now tell me, is something telling me to call it quits?lol

## Post 30 by FlyingPhoenix (move over school!) on Monday, 19-May-2008 2:22:51

I'm still trying to get ahold of albori oocly I have some questions for him

## Post 31 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Monday, 19-May-2008 4:40:27

eh, about the blowing up people, I wish some higher hosty power would realize, hello, the trigger happy kings and their men are gonna make the player base dissatisfied and eventually, it'll start dropping.
About missing dinner, when we took off in the 15-person ships after the praelor that one time, I was tempted to ignore my grandma's shouts for dinner and kill bugs.
Miriani FTW

## Post 32 by rat (star trek rules!) on Monday, 19-May-2008 12:25:46

yeah, did that myself with the relay station. i skipped a meal so i could be in the middle of it. david, you never gave the game a chance. sure it's boring at first until you get enough points and credits, but then it gets really fun. just like any game. what fun is a game where you have everything already.

## Post 33 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Monday, 19-May-2008 16:00:34

I agree with both cala and rat. And emo boy, don't just delete just because your ship gets blown up. Keep trying. Lets see, I've lost an expeditioner, fully upgraded cept for solar pannels, my first specialty ship got stolen, but now I have death note, i lost my destroyer for a time but I was able to get it back, I lost a voyager, I've lost 3 or 4 fighters, u just gotta keep going at it. If u ever need help I seriously suggest talking to blake wor waffles as people know him, calandria or moy, and some other random people like mike rat. We all can usualy help ya out with stuff.

## Post 34 by rat (star trek rules!) on Monday, 19-May-2008 16:33:25

i've lost both a helio and antag to a certain person not to mention that most of the rest of my fleet was given away by someone i thought was a friend.

## Post 35 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Monday, 19-May-2008 21:10:28

Same here, that's how i lost my destoryer, expeditioner and cruiser. That's y i don't give out keys to anyone no matter who they are.

## Post 36 by FlyingPhoenix (move over school!) on Monday, 19-May-2008 22:50:09

I say let the game die, it will eventually anyways because the hosts dont control the chaos

## Post 37 by rat (star trek rules!) on Tuesday, 20-May-2008 16:20:29

yes, that's true. the unorderly are ruining the whole game as it is

## Post 38 by FlyingPhoenix (move over school!) on Tuesday, 20-May-2008 16:40:25

well its not just the unorderly on that game its the hosts too, they dont care to admit that they may eventually lose folks because of the nonsense they allow. Not to meation the hosts that show up when you go to assist about a character that you know is a host as well, they show up in their hostly form and tell you that the character broke no rules. I'm sick of that

## Post 39 by moyzey (i'm posting? huh?) on Tuesday, 20-May-2008 20:36:01

well, you'll be glad to know they're now doing something about it. Log in, and read ooc/announcements

## Post 40 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Tuesday, 20-May-2008 21:02:37

mmhmm, oc/announcements has some good information now. Seems like they are now cracking down a lot harder now.

## Post 41 by rat (star trek rules!) on Tuesday, 20-May-2008 21:34:21

thanks, might take a look

## Post 42 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Wednesday, 21-May-2008 15:35:38

Wonder when its all gonna be posted.

## Post 43 by rat (star trek rules!) on Thursday, 22-May-2008 13:15:29

i think they're gathering th lists right now, you know, seeing what are common issues and such. then they'll start posting stuff i think

## Post 45 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Wednesday, 16-Jul-2008 18:47:49

Hey guys, what do ya think is going on with the storyline? Heres what we got, the CTN taking down the coms, and the praelor just being annoying. Any thoughts on what's gonna hapen next? Albori and Maragual, and the others r good for throwing twists at us though.

## Post 46 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Wednesday, 16-Jul-2008 21:59:15

I say they should take a player hostage!

## Post 48 by Manwe (The Dark Lord) on Thursday, 17-Jul-2008 10:04:43

hi has anybody tried this game with VIP mud? what's it like with it. i haven't actually played the game yet but it looks interesting enough.

## Post 49 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Thursday, 17-Jul-2008 12:54:59

It should work with VIP just like it does with monkey, thought I don't think theirs been a sound pack devoloped yet.

## Post 50 by the icon (Zone BBS Addict) on Friday, 18-Jul-2008 9:00:47

i've got monkey term, when i open it up it says document interface but i don't no where to go to connect with it it won't seem to read i'm confused, mind you only looked at it about 3 times i don't no which option to chose at th oment, however that might be because the last time was at 2 in the morning

## Post 51 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Friday, 18-Jul-2008 9:26:55

I don't think their capture a player, because all that players gotta do is switch over to msn or whatever, open up an IM window, and go "hey, heres what's going on."
As for the Monkey term window, go to the file menu, and hit open. Navigate your way to the miriani folder, inside your monkeyterm directory, and hit enter on the "miriani.xml". That should boot ya up with all of us peoples.

## Post 52 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Friday, 18-Jul-2008 13:15:53

yeah, keep opening stuff that says miriani, until happy music plays. After that, when you connect to monkeyterm, it'll bring up a list of sessions. If you have Kai's sound pack, that is, the miriani 6 pack, all you have to do, after your first time logging in and all, is hit m, and enter.
oh, if you play, I'd suggest reading the help files, and policies. or asking one of us about it. Wouldn't wanna piss off any hosts, or be ooc over chatter...

## Post 53 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Friday, 18-Jul-2008 16:50:18

Yeah their r majorly cracking down on that stuff now.

If anyone wants to talk to me ic I'm franklen Mcguire, yep, married to alison mcguire.
Also, someone posted about a miriani list, well it now exists.
Send a blank message to:
miriani-subscribe@shaned.net
and reply to the confirmatory message.
This list is for discussing the game in an out of character setting, and for getting help getting started as a newbie, and for giving tips on how to best play the game.
Thanks.

## Post 57 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Saturday, 19-Jul-2008 15:51:29

thanks.

Clarence finkle, yes. Is their another clarence? Finkle and his buddy whatever her name is, i've only seen her once, is the CTN. Or at least we've only seen those two members so far.

## Post 64 by jessmonsilva (Taking over the boards, one topic at a time.) on Monday, 21-Jul-2008 4:30:40

I personally think we should be able to be a part of the CTN if we want, or whatever.
But I guess they don't want player controlled CTN chars either..

We're in for somethiung big. Remember the sword of...oh god what was his name, crap. I don't remember but they made a mythilogical reference that we shouldn't forget. Also, it'd be nice to see more players try to push this and make more events happen. I think the hosts are doing it to blow us up in their cool ships, and to toss us around for their own entertainment, but that's just me. I don't think that the CTN is going to be played out much longer if we don't actually take more of a part in it. But again, we can't because they don't let us.

## Post 73 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Wednesday, 03-Sep-2008 17:40:17

it's supply and demand, the trade routs change. go to a center and type lookup.
trading sucks. try salvaging, easy combat missions, and planetary mining to start off with.

## Post 74 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Wednesday, 03-Sep-2008 19:07:56

Miriani back up? Last time i tried, it said it was down. I haven't logged in as much as i used to, its gonna be a bit harder now because of schoool and wrestling. Also, I've found a new mud called project bob, which is awesome. One final thing, I'm trying out VIP Mud, does anyone know how I can get a sound pack for Miriani on it?

## Post 75 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Wednesday, 03-Sep-2008 23:21:59

It was down from aug 27 till sept 2 because of coding. there are some things in ooc/general about soundpacks with VIP. go have a read.

## Post 76 by Manwe (The Dark Lord) on Thursday, 04-Sep-2008 5:01:15

Now that SC will be returning, I don't know what mud I'll be spending the most time on that one or miriani. Decisions, decisions.

## Post 83 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Saturday, 21-Feb-2009 9:05:59

Aluises in mt.
In the pattern line goesthe command you desire
and in the command line goes the actual command.
I don't know much coding, but I do know that %1 means a group of words or something.
Maybe that helps.
good luck.
And as for SC, I didn't get into beta. boo. Oh well, I'm excited!

## Post 84 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Saturday, 21-Feb-2009 17:39:14

I didn't either, but I can't wait to try it out. I like the fact that they gave me tips on how I could improve my profile.

?

## Post 88 by NoahsMommy (guide dog girl) on Saturday, 28-Feb-2009 9:05:55

first, what operating system are you using, second, what files do you have? you need monkey term, and monkeylib.exe and a soundpack, mtdialogue might be useful as well.

## Post 89 by wings of flame (777) on Saturday, 28-Feb-2009 13:11:20

I am using windows vista, and I have the monkey term client downloaded. I have the sound pack, and I am not sure about that xml file you mentioned.
here is a contact email that you can send to.
jhart@msb.k12.mo.us

## Post 90 by NoahsMommy (guide dog girl) on Saturday, 28-Feb-2009 18:53:32

I can not email that domain, unfortunately. you need mtdialogue.exe and monkeylib.exe add me to msn, its in my profile i might be able to help that way.

## Post 91 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Saturday, 28-Feb-2009 19:13:17

You do not need the dialog patch. It does not do anthing, but stop it from saying dialog when their is a blank line. Wow, really useful.

Some people might say that new worlds is boring and stupid.

## Post 96 by Alexander vongrippen (Veteran Zoner) on Tuesday, 15-Dec-2009 0:39:03

Agreed.Every one has different views.And different likeings.

## Post 97 by CrystalSapphire (Uzuri uongo ndani) on Tuesday, 15-Dec-2009 8:30:56

but this game is so just uugg... lol noone really stays in character...

## Post 98 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Tuesday, 15-Dec-2009 8:40:30

And? what's your point?

## Post 99 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Tuesday, 15-Dec-2009 9:00:06

yeah, i'm tempted to say if you don't like miriani then stop moaning about it, but i'm not going too.
as for the comment about new worlds being boring, some of the elements in that game really frustrated me, but there were also some well thought out ideas. i'll admit i never really got to grips with what it was about, but then maybe that's because i spent more time on miriani then i did new worlds.
as for miriani, there are some players that really take it seriously, and those who just don't really care how they act. i love that game, probably always will enjoy it.
also, i don't think it's about how the players act, it's how the game is presented, how the diffrent parts of the story fit in the game, and how much effert is put in to keep the game interesting. i think miriani's got all that.

## Post 100 by CrystalSapphire (Uzuri uongo ndani) on Tuesday, 15-Dec-2009 10:49:18

well disagree dan on that i think the game lacks a lot, and the people are just... anyways have fun all who play

## Post 101 by Alexander vongrippen (Veteran Zoner) on Tuesday, 15-Dec-2009 12:54:01

All I say is,yeah?you don't like a game?cool.O you like this game?well good.As I said,every one who plays any game looks for different things in different games.

## Post 102 by jessmonsilva (Taking over the boards, one topic at a time.) on Tuesday, 15-Dec-2009 18:30:45

The problem with miriani in my view is this. While the stories are well thought out and the plots are thought out as well, alot of the time people don't stick to them or because of an outcome that has happened because of them people start complaining about it. Miriani is supposed to be a roleplaying environment but the problem is because the going ooc has been so rampant for so long now that the hosts are trying to enforce the roleplaying policies more so now, it makes it harder for those people to roleplay. also, if there isn't something constantly going on, people don't see the need to roleplay as much because it's just everyday situations like missions and what not, where private conversations in ships don't matter as much unless the owner of the ship enforces IC roleplaying.
I still see that as no need to criticize it however, no one went on your thread about new worlds and talked about how horrible new worlds was or is, even if they wanted to, some people really enjoy miriani, just like you might enjoy new worlds.

## Post 103 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Wednesday, 16-Dec-2009 9:47:18

I don't like new worlds, it confused the fuck out of me.
But Miriani does lack alot where in characterness is concerned. I'm guilty of it too sometimes, though I really do try and be IC. But when people around you are going lol, rofl, lag, oh my God lag, it's hard to keep IC. and you can't tell them to fuck off and stay IC without looking like a sanctamonious prick. I think if more people really tried to stay in char, and keep the barely IC chatter to a minimum, it might be better. But you have all kinds of inane conversations going on on chatter that make me feel like a 19 year old playing a mud, not a 23 year old pilot.
anyway, rant over.

## Post 104 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Wednesday, 16-Dec-2009 20:18:29

Exactly cala.

## Post 105 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Thursday, 17-Dec-2009 10:27:02

heart breaker,
out of respect, i keep most of what i think of new worlds to myself. sure there were some really good ideas, but it did get boring after the first few days. i remember you kept having to eat and drink to be able to gain energy, reminded me a bit of final fantasy and those types of games.
i think as far as the i c goes in miriani, i've been there for a while now and don't really notice it. i'm more interested in the plots than i am how the people react to them.

## Post 106 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Thursday, 17-Dec-2009 11:16:20

Also you can only move so fast in New Worlds, so if you log in during a coffee break or whatever, you can't just walk across town real quick, drop money into the bank, then leave north and go into the woods again. This is not a criticism, however, as it is apparently part of the game's design. Also New Worlds seems to have a really good layout, and good descriptions. Granted it was my first mud, but I find Valhalla harder in that instance. I still think any fiction writer - doesn't matter the genre - would really get a lot out of New Worlds even if they haven't done muds before because of all the interchanges. I will say, I can't help feeling bad for other players who invested a ton of goods into my character, and mine having worked out a failure - I could never complete the quest I was on even though I reread the logs from my mud client and kept copious notes. All that armor and stuff had to cost them a lot since it's hard to get ... If you're a fiction writer though you oughta consider it.

## Post 107 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Friday, 18-Dec-2009 10:23:11

Time keeper, in FF you don't have to eat and drink to regain energy. Just saying, as I played about 8 of the games. Not saying I beat them, but in all of them you don't have to eat and drink to regain anything but maybe HP and MP.

## Post 108 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Sunday, 27-Dec-2009 5:29:56

so, what did everyone on miriani get for christmas, if anything?

## Post 109 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Sunday, 27-Dec-2009 12:29:52

I got a mysterious green glass bottle that spins and points at another random player in the room.
do you guys across the pond have spin the bottle?
the bottle spins, points at someone, and that someone has to kiss you.

## Post 110 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Sunday, 27-Dec-2009 13:22:05

yes we do, in fact we used to have a talking version of it. very cool, actually.

## Post 111 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Monday, 28-Dec-2009 1:46:29

I didn't request anything since I get donator items and I couldn't think of anything to request.

Hello I played Miriani about a year ago I want to start playing again I have windows7 and windoweyes711 what program works with windows7 and does it have scripts for windoweyes? Thanks!

## Post 113 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Friday, 05-Mar-2010 8:55:59

I suggest vipmud from GMA games. It costs 20 bucks unless...
I don't know what other clients work on seven, and having never used window eyes, I don't know how that works. But try vip

## Post 114 by Alexander vongrippen (Veteran Zoner) on Saturday, 06-Mar-2010 0:04:14

Many of my friends who use windo eyes,say that vip isn't that good with win eyes,don't know why though.And I am Salazar there let me know if I can help you there.

The players help to shape the story.

## Post 116 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Monday, 15-Mar-2010 18:13:12

You can use musclient, and get the window eyes set files from randylaptop.

## Post 123 by Alexander vongrippen (Veteran Zoner) on Wednesday, 14-Jul-2010 8:44:04

It did,not sure bout now,though.

## Post 124 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Wednesday, 14-Jul-2010 13:33:15

It sure does have them. I don't play anymore, I've deleted my character. I just don't play anymore. Maybe I'll join up again, but I'll always keep Blake Madison unless its taken.

## Post 125 by The Elemental Dragon (queen of dragons) on Monday, 19-Jul-2010 15:53:21

hmm, miriani, sigh, i don't know why i fell in love with it so fast. and there are sighted players, we aren't all blind.... so...
i can think of at least one fully sighted person.

## Post 126 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Tuesday, 20-Jul-2010 12:14:59

I kind of like it...it's like watching a sci-fi drama.

Just wanted to post here, I love this game. I've tried a lot of moos, and this one's my favorite by far. Just started out and am already hooked. The first day I played, at least 4 or 5 people came up to me and offered help and showed me around.
The hosts have also been awesome.
Say hi some time, I am Vincent Case in game.

## Post 130 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Thursday, 23-Sep-2010 1:59:07

This makes me want to rejoin, but I'm not sure if I will. I love the game, but whenever I tried sound packs on 7, it would never work for me.

## Post 131 by The Elemental Dragon (queen of dragons) on Sunday, 10-Oct-2010 22:13:40

yep miriani is good. just somehow lost my expiditer. friend had key, and now can't find it. sigh. roar. she wouldn't steal it cuz she has one of her own. i think she just powered to the wrong garage by accident.. or something...

Oh, if your key does not tell you where your ship is, you probly have it on a planet where there is no flight scanner.

## Post 135 by starfly (99956) on Tuesday, 12-Oct-2010 11:10:04

Currently one of my ships is no where to bee found, shoot I have not seen it in about 2 maybe 3 months.

anyway rerolled to thea imaya, who now goes by the name of apphrodite.
almost with 600 points, so. yeah, had to start totally over but i'll get back up there.

## Post 142 by musicgirl (Veteran Zoner) on Sunday, 02-Jan-2011 0:52:56

I'm getting kind of sick of that game, to be honest. I mean it's cool and it is fun to rp but sometimes people take it way too far. And yeah I know it is part of the game, but still.. I feel I need a brake from it for a while.
