1.  What is this crap?

  Dark Shadow wrote this game thingie.  Read the damn messages.  The 
object of the game is to kill stuff and get things.  You know, the
standard crap.  There are certain rules and places on the BBS where
you can play it, but you're gonna forget anyway so why bother?

2. Cult BD

2.1 What is Cult BD?  Where does that highway go to?

  Cult BD is the shortened form of "Cult BD".  It is a cult.  Cult BD's
deity is Cyberchrist: Blue Devil acts as his intermediary and accepts 
donations to further our god's work on this plane.  Rolexes should be 
sent insured mail.  We are naming TerrorByte as our first Pondered 
patron in the hopes he will write a script to further our glory.

2.2 Why should I join Cult BD?

There is NO good reason why you should join Cult BD!

2.2.1 Interminable Cool Stuff

The interminable benefits of joining Cult BD are:
-- Instant Membership in the Cult!  Brainwashing optional!
-- No squirrely mentions of you in some newsletter thingie
-- Deity BD not bothering you with a bunch of roleplaying crap
-- Having to type THREE LESS CHARACTERS when sacrificing!

2.2.2 Fringe Elements

The fringe elements gained by joining Cult BD are:
-- Your own personal song with 1000 sacrifices
-- Any game crap you want me to do that doesn't take all day done
-- Random brandishing of weapons
-- Severe ridiculing if you wish to have your own Cult
-- That special feeling of knowing where you belong 

2.2.3 InterCult Blaming of Dark Shadow

Some of the many planned events include:
-- InterCult whining about bugs, with *YOU WILL FIX THIS*'s
-- Incessant demands for new actions and impossible suggestions
-- Bug Hunts, with prizes for whoever crashes the system
-- Pondered Patron selection by random dice toss each Sunday

2.2.4 C'mon!  What is this crap?

  Okay, look.  I'll make it simple for ya.  You join my cult, you
sacrifice useless stuff to me, and I'll do whatever the hell you
ask me to do.  Not dumb titles, no dumb quests.  Okay?

2.3 How do I join Cult BD!  This is not my beautiful default monster!

  To join Cult BD and get cool stuff, type "!sac <item> bd".

3. Let That Be Your Final Battlefield

  In this the second day of the great journey, through my fell hand,
in the ancient and forbidding default land, by the power vested in me,
avast ye scurvy dogs, all rights reserved, copyright 1996 the Kilimanjaro
Corporation, text of this sermon available for a five dollar fee from
the Lecturn Society, by the pricking of my thumbs, ad hominem filibustrous,
so ends the first and last (we can only hope) Cult BD newsletter.  Feel free
to write to me here or e-mail Dark Shadow if you have any questions.
