   Welcome to Alt.MagicK!

   go away

   A Mages' Survey of UseNet.

   This is a Usenet Newsgroup resource list.

   Its excuse for existence is to make varlets 'go away' from alt.magick!
   It also attempts to list faqs and reference lists.
   It trys to avoid mailing lists ... unlike the mages guide ...

~Subject: Editorial
~From: Horns

   This is a totally arbitrary lumping of NewsFrops!
   Hopefully, it is misaligned just enough to annoy all of the pigs!
   If you think that I should put it somewhere else, then
   send details (with graphic descriptions).

   If you are going to follow up this post, 
   'Learn to edit yer damn quotes, Lunkhead!' - AShTon the UnSubtle   

   I am not real pleased with the format.
   (it is not perfect, damnit!) [Virgo symmetry alert!]

   I may well drop the Sex/Drugs/RockNRoll section in future 
   versions.  Leave the Drug heading, Trim the Sex section and
   move it under another heading ... Religion maybe?
   I had to toss large portions of the working version because
   the file was just too damn big to navigate around.  Some of
   the juicy bits were yanked because I was starting to have fun.
   Way too much fun for the stiff-necked, title-sucking, palio-aeon
   dweebs of Alt.MagicK ... The Forbidden Chapters can be found
   in a NewsFrog near you!

   There is a lot of overlap between this fnord and the
   'the mages guide to the internet' by Thyagi.  Which only makes 
   sense since we con-texted on the 'newsgroups' section of his 
   guide.  We may sort them out, but only after the spin cycle!

   Often I have just listed the base group and not all of the grit 
   below (such as the alt.mud or alt.rock-n-roll disaster areas).
   I really do not think that it is necessary to mark extensions
   (alt.mud.*) ... if you have neither a brain nor a decent 
   newsreader then this text is unlikely to change either of those 
   things.

   One might even think that they were related ...

   >Q) What is the purpose of this group?
   >A) This group is for the discussion of magic as entertainment, 
   >including but not limited to close-up, sleight of hand, platform, 
   >stage, and illusion magic.  For discussions of pagan, occult, and 
   >spiritual magic try alt.magick (note the "k"), alt.paranormal, 
   >alt.divination, or alt.pagan.

   >Q) Is there a possibility this news group could be altered in some 
   >way so that people wouldn't accidently keep posting things that 
   >belong in alt.magicK?
   >A) It is easiest to just ignore these articles.  Many newsreaders

   >1. What is a MUD?
   >A MUD (Multiple User Dimension, Multiple User Dungeon, or Multiple 
   >User Dialogue) is a computer program which users can log into and 
   >explore.  Each user takes control of a computerized 
   >persona/avatar/incarnation/ character.  You can walk around, chat 
   >with other characters, explore dangerous monster-infested areas, 
   >solve puzzles, and even create your very own rooms, descriptions 
   >and items.  You can also get lost or confused if you jump right 
   >in, so be sure to read this document before starting.
