Section 1 - Job Posts / Want Ads
* WANTED: Plant blooming cycle information. If you have calculated the
cycles or have purchased advanced plant plucking skill and have run
across some plants please send information to:
Aaron Fuegi fuegi@cs.colostate.edu
* Mudwalker in the upper Gwardon interested in joining or forming a
group. Currently I have no religion, but I am also interested in
that. Are there any groups (religious or otherwise) based near the
Spotted Beak?
I already know general locations (from sources like MI Journal, Lotus
Leaves, and MI Newsletter on this network). Would like responses
from members of groups. Need key information from recruiters.
Thanks, Steven Sadler
SSADLER@utkvx.utk.edu
* I'm looking for a review/description of Monster Island, as this game
is now also available in Germany. Someone directed me to you as
editor of a MI newsletter. Do you have anything that tells me more
about the game than the advertisement I have? Thanks in advance
<* Kai Hortmann - University of Konstanz - Germany *>
<* chbrin5@dknkurz1.bitnet or chbrin5@nyx.uni-konstanz.de *>
* WANTED: A write up explaining monster island for potential players
(see last request above) who want to learn more about the game.
Please send write up to newsletter.
* Within the next 5-10 turns it is anticipated that
a non-racial, non-religious group will be forming in the
Jagged Mor South. The current plan is for the Ceremony of
Strength to take place in the vicinity of the Dragon's Tale
Far Inn. At this time there are approximately 15-20
monsters who have committed to participating in the
Ceremony of Strength. Any monsters in the vicinity who have
any interest contact Eric Bothwell aka Biff Gnarly
(erb@lawmail.law.columbia.edu).
Thanks, Eric/Biff
* WANTED: Information on "Blueberry Eye" and or "Noreb" monsters.
Any information (name, address, player name) on these monsters is
appreciated. "Blueberry eye" is a Furrcat and "Noreb" is a Bignose,
both male.I believe that Noreb is a Fuvite; I'm not sure about
Blueberry eye. They're somewhere in the Central JM/Kunbar, or at
least they were a couple of months aogo. Anything you could be find
would be VERY appreciated!!

* WANTED: I am currently playing two beginning monsters (one on turn
10, the other on turn 15) in the southern Gwardon reigon. Do you
have any friends in this area? One big dissapointment for me thus
far has been that the other monsters who started out with me have,
for the most part, not been very social. It would be great if you
knew someone in my general area who I might be able to join up with.

Section 3 - Questions/Inquiries
* Gary Funk is trying to get a master list of everyone in the game and
their addresses, along with Far structures. Please send information
to: Gary Funk: 27 Ninety Rod Rd, Clinton, CT 06413
* Willing to compile things viewed through a spyglass. Send data to
Jerry Hagedorn - JHAGEDORN@VAX1.UMKC.EDU
* I noticed something in newsletter, that implied that someone
gained 9 muscle (in one turn) by jazzercising 9 times for
8 APs each... My math says, that that is jazzercising for
72 APs in one turn... Didn't the rules specifically state
that a maximum of 50 APs per turn may be used to jazzercise
in any one turn?
Just curious, Ron... RRBLANCO@MTUS5.cts.mtu.edu
[ The item in newsletter number 8 did imply the 9 times for 8 AP was
from memory. Perhaps 6 timers for 8 AP, could the original poster
clear this up. I once inquired about jazzercizing for more then
50 AP (a wrong input had me doing more then 50) and Jack said doing
more the 50 didn't help you but didn't hurt you either. This was
over a year ago so things can change, though I doubt it. ]
* I was curious if you could answer a question for me about groups.
I've heard a few rumors about losing money and/or items when forming
a group. Do you know anything about this? My monster will be
forming a group with a few other people next turn, and I just wanted
to know if I should spend all of my money before forming the group.
Also I've heard that an item will disappear when you form a group.
Maybe that's just when you join an already existing group? Any info
would be most appreciated. Thanks.
- Erik
[ When groups are formed they fit into one of three categories (of
which I forget the proper names) scary, scarier, scariest. I
believe that each of these categories affects how much and types of
items lost during initiation. My experience:
Forming a group of type scary (the most easy going type
about): Lost nothing during the ceremony.
Joining an existing group of type scarier (middle of road
group): Had 4 oculars lost 1, also lost a voodoo cauldron.
Joining an existing group of type scarier (middle of road
group): Had 60 oculars lost ~35, also lost a voodoo cauldron.
Initiated a member into existing group of type scarier: Gained
a few oculars (fellow had very few) and a Tholomite Heart.
How about it, if you have an initiation or ceremony group story on
lost/gained items send them in. Remember to note the type of group
and if someone has the proper names I would appreciate them. ]
* Has anyone got their second set of spells?
[ My monster Felica got her second set. Her first set
included 7 spells: Identify Scroll (24), Seal/Open Temple Door
(34), Detect Rival Followers (42), Read Scroll (25), Light Armor
(805), Torchlight (701) and Fear (928) with a total of 20 spell
points. Her second set added 4 new ones: Detect Fellow Followers
(41), Repair Large Iron Item (53), Dig (50) and Fire Shield (822)
and her spell points went up to 65. She has also identified and
read the following spells from scrolls: Detect Creatures (77),
Detect Items (66) and Detect Plants (55). ]
Any others out there with their second or third set? Send spell
lists to newsletter.
**************************************************************
Section 4 - Facts
* The Black Death group #727 officially has not battle cry. Subject to
change in the future.
* The Knights of the Iron fist #745 is now a mixed group since they
just tarted a shroud faction.
**************************************************************
Section 5 - Rumors (Believe it or Not)
NOW FACT: If you give an EF (Enhance Fort) order while carrying some
carrion talons, you will make something called a "carrion spring
trap". You need two carrion talons and one spider spring or one
carrion talon and two spider springs.

Section 7 - New Blurbs (see end of Catch all for index to existing
blurbs in our net monster group.)
Remember if you get a blurb which is not on the index list, send it to
Aaron and the newsletter.
############
FORT A newly rebuilt fort consists of a semi-secure wall and a
building in its center. The largest room is the stable where two
dozen mounts can be stabled. The next largest room is the bunk room
which has a dozen bunk beds. There is also a storage room, an outhouse
(without water), and a double-room consisting of living quarters
and workroom suitable for a single permanent resident. A fort is
owned/controlled by whoever occupies it. When occupied, other monsters
have to force their way in. They'll be subject to the Fort's traps
(if any) and have to fight the occupants of the fort - except for your
own group's members.
FORT ORDERS To camp in a fort, issue the FORT STAY order:FS.
This is excellent for recovering health. To guard/camp in fort, issue
the GUARD FORT order:GF. This has you camp in the fort, but you'll be
on guard for intruders and consequently, recover less health. To make
some sort of physical improvement to the fort, issue the ENHANCE FORT
order:EF. This requires 30 act pts and may result in taking one or
more of your possessions and making it a permanent part of the fort.
To place items in the store room, issue the PLACE order:P (item#)
(qty). To remove items, issue the BRING order: B (item#)(qty). NOTE:
Food cannot be placed in the store room. If the square already has
your group's totem markings, you can issue the TM order to mark the
fort.

Section 11 - Far Structures
The following is my current file on locations of far structures. I am
way behind in corrections (thanks to those of you who have sent them
in) and additions. However, it will be awhile before I get to them and
several of you are asking about locations so here is what I have. Take
it with a grain of salt. Corrections should be sent to me (Cheryl
Frech) and hopefully in the next few months I can make this a better
more correct list. For the most part everything is correct. A few
posts are a square off here or there. Many new inns are missing (most
I don't have data on) but I believe their locations are correct. So
enjoy or ignore the following:

Name that Baby Contest: I want to thank all of you who participated in
this joyous contest. I ended up selecting one of my own athough one
entry did spawn my imagination enough to help me name the baby.

Well the little furball has ventured off on his own. Jack wrote back
to me and gave me the five weeks of data I would have gotten if the bug
wasn't present (see previous newsletter). So the following is what I
know about babies at this time. A previous newsletter had the
pregnancy portion of the baby experience.
The five weeks of having your baby with you goes like:
------------------------------------------------------
Week1: You have to feed your baby a lot! You decide that he looks
more like you the his father, HOBBES THE HAIRBALL.
Week2: Your baby is talking like craze and understands maybe 20% of what
you're saying. Her balance is improving rapidly when wlaking -
he's falling down only once or twice per day now.
Week3: Your child is now running around and you begin teaching him
basic weapon skills. You also instruct him on how to be quiet,
making a game of it. You continue to be amazed about his rapid
growth.
Week4: You begin to fear that Ruk offspring on Monster Island are
going to be much bigger than Ruks. You momentarily wonder if
your child is a mutant - but then dismiss the thought. He
happily learns the basics of traccking. You then teach him
what you know about the dangersous Creatures on the island.
Week5: Your child is now at the equivalent of a teenager in size and
mental age. Wow! You teach him how to Hunt and Forage, and
how to make some items. You can tell that at the end of your
next turn your child will have to be seaparated from you to
survive on his own. [If you're going to play your baby
Monster, you can submit a turn for him with his mother's next
turn. Mark your turn Do 1st and the child's Do 2nd. On the
latter, write in the chosen Monster name in the Address Change
area of the turn card. Note: You can now transfer any items to
his next turn. Also, your child will have all the Make
Creature knowledge (blurbs) you have, and can therefore make a
Sling, etc.]
PHURBOL DRAGONDANCER: Male Furrcat, 1st male baby of the island.
Parents: Felica (mother, disciple of fuvah, fire rider, furrcat) and
Hobbes the Hairball (father, disciple of fuvah, fire rider, furrcat).

first turn). Not even a driftclub to his name (although mother has
been generous).

turn one).

************
Comments: I feel Jack was very generous on the weapon skills and the
things mother could teach the baby. I was disappointed that none of
the voodoo or inn knowledge skills were passed on to the baby since
this is so time consuming to aquire. Jack purposely didn't give any
wrestling skills (which I felt was one of the things that a mother
would teach her child but since he was so generous on the weapon skills
I didn't push it). Jack did hint that the baby would learn the
wrestling skill faster then others, perhaps a benefit of being born on
the island.
Also my first turn I had to do blind. I didn't know what weapon skills
he had or even how many action points. I will be bringing this up to
Jack's attention so other newbies don't have this problem in the future.
Last Note: A sad thing when on his first turn he ran into his mother
and didn't even acknowledge she was alive. Just looked her over and
accessed her skills (at far inn) against his.
Okay I lied one more Note: Jack did have a funny bug. On the
reference sheet it shows that Phurbol (a male) knows how to Love Dance.
