1) I love my school. We now hold several championship records including: first school to hold both national basketball and football titles simultaneously and first school to win consecutive basketball championships with the same starting five. Not to mention we are SEC champs in soccer and gymnastics. Go Gators!

2) Tara'ka: An Immortal Project. This thing has been around since I started on BYOND and I'm proud to say it will be here until I leave or BYOND goes bye-bye, whichever comes first. We've made a lot of progress with some new innovations as well as some stuff BYOND has never seen before. We are still in need of artists and will gladly accept volunteer artists onto our team. Just reply here if interested or if you have any questions.

3) I got a new car; an '02 Chevy TrailBlazer, and I love it. I can't wait 'til summer when I can work again and trick my TB out.

Tara'ka: Carpe Noctem (Once known as the House of Morte) was one of the original RPGs on BYOND circa April/May, 2001 and enjoyed a roller-coaster of success and shortcomings until summer of 2005 when it was last seen.

Tara'ka: Carpe Noctem has been on a one and a half year hiatus due to lack of energy and motivation. I feel that taking a very long break from the project has allowed me to better approach the project, and thus I would like to continue but I am in need of additions to our small development team.

------------------------------------
We're looking for:

- Volunteer artists willing to work on a team to produce cohesive and original artwork. (Landscapes, avatars (player and npc), accessories, etc. *Some work involves modding a base icon and similar concepts.)

- Trustworthy programmers with at least a year of experience in writing their own original DM projects. Some web-based programming a plus. Must be willing to work with additional programmers.

- Someone with hosting abilities or connections, though this will be needed at a later date.
------------------------------------

All positions are considered voluntary and thus unpaid. Work will be credited in source and to the team as a whole. In game credits will be provided so that the world knows who's behind the scenes. Team members will be considered in-game staff.

Interested? Questions? Comments? Please email me at alexander.night@gmail.com with subject title "BYOND Classified." Or reply here. If you are interested in joining, please provide either sample artwork or link references to your prior BYOND projects.

Thank you,
Alexander "Raven" Night

Well hello, there. Long time no see... I had some cash lying in my paypal so I figured I'd renew my membership as a testament to my return to BYONDesque activities.

If anyone who reads this is currently a student at the University of Florida, let me know. I think it would be cool to meet someone from BYOND who goes to the same school as I do.

So, what am I up to on BYOND nowadays? I don't know.
What do I want to do? I think everyone that knows me knows the answer.

We'll see how it works out.

Just a piece I wrote out of nostalgia.

From an old perch, a Raven stares,
watching the fodder in the field.
Not a soul escapes his midnight glare,
But bow beneath him, on his domain kneeled.
-Alexander Night

Hey guys and gals, Raven here, reporting from the campus of the University of Florida. Go Gators? Yeah. Anyway, I miss BYOND and my project a lot. Not too many days go by that I don't think about getting involved. Trust me, I would love to. But college has its distractions and stuff... Its college. I'm majoring in accounting, maybe a minor in some kind of humanity or something. You know how I like politics and social issues.

Oh yeah, and I'm 18 finally. I've been with BYOND since I was 13... Wow. One of the few things from those days that has stuck around. But I just wanted to kind of let everyone who cares that I'm still around and so on. I'm actually pulling my first all nighter of my college experience... Tons of fun, I guess. But I'll come back and write soon.

Woooo! Finally! A college laptop!
