Here are some notes I extracted from the latest MI chat session on AOL,
Saturday, 9/14/96.  Some of them are pretty cryptic, but I hope
understandable.  They are all from Keith's statements.

Quests?  may be able to deliver messages a/o items for Jossmen for fee.
Other coinage needed!!!  Kwandos may only accept Kwando coins.
Stats [not Monsterliness] max out @ 300! [But Muscle may be exception, 
  Keith sounded a little confused here]  But he agreed with me that some
  extra would be good in case of death or Ungrouping.
Monsterliness calculated by overall turn success:
  Z 300 - no Monst gain
  LV Stone crypt - yes
  but then said inventory didn't affect it.
  backed off when I and others disagreed.
Black Voodoo coming
Black lotus too rare for use at present.
Demigods?  Who knows what or when?
