Something I didn't mention in my last update (because it hadn't yet produced results) . . . about a week ago, I had a phone interview with a reporter from the Wall Street Journal. Wikicities is getting to be big news, and as one of the most popular wikis, the Creatures Wiki deserved a mention. So, one week later, here's the article!

I am the rather ominously-named "Mr Parry" and "his friend" (who had the idea to start up the Wiki in the first place) is Sgeo. I *did* give the reporter our usernames - as well as quite a few others! - but I guess for some reason they felt a real name would look better.

Yeah! Creatures rules!
Oh, and please tell us before you make an appearance at a TV show!

Well, BAMZOOKi is a TV show, maybe they have some spare time for Creatures?

Whew. Well, I've been busy stockpiling some cheese for the summer months, and when I looked back there were over 1500 articles on the Creatures Wiki, accompanied by over 750 images! 200 is a popular number, too - we now have 200 C1 COBs, as well as just over that number of breed images, people and websites! I strongly recommend you have a look at some of the latter - there are many cool sites still out there to enjoy. The C1 Norn Breeds category has also hit 20 breeds - quite astonishing when you consider that there are only 10 norn breed slots in the game!

Not only have we got plenty of content about Creatures, we also have many interviews of people talking about the game. One of the more interesting ones recently dug up by Malkin is this NPR radio interview with Toby Simpson, Richard Dawkins and others back in May 1997 - before Creatures was even released outside Europe! This links into the question of whether norns are alive, a question which was posed to alt.games.creatures by Steve Grand himself, and which has recently been re-posed.

Much of the month's work has been done by Don and Malkin, who have each made over 500 edits to articles on the wiki. Of course, we shouldn't forget Sgeo, Alien and Liam, who have each made over 100 non-article edits (usually uploading images). Our newest member, Syrra, also deserves special mention for adding all the COBs and agents at Helen's Bibble Directory in one night! In total, 12 of our 74 users have contributed over 100 edits to the Wiki, and half of them have double that. You can see everyone who's contributed at the statistics page - why not help out and get on there yourself?

And now a word from our sponsor . . .

Green? Depressed? Norns getting you down? Why not wash away those sorrows with a refreshing Norn-Bru? After all, you can't live on hootch forever - we tried! Comes in three original breed flavours!

Norn-Bru: It's the taste of a new generation!


Thist quenched? Good! If you're interested in more norn products, check out this newsgroup thread . . . just don't blame us if you find Equal Rights For Norns on your tail!

Now, time for a little fun and games! As you may be aware, people in the CC get bored quickly - just like norns! - and need regular doses of amusement. One of these, Acrophoboia, proved most popular with regulars from JRChat, one of whom had already achieved notoriety on alt.games.creatures with her creation of the Creatures Community Purity Test - a somewhat earlier counterpart to the What Creature are you? quiz!

Not daunted by the lack of a Secret Adventure Mode in Creatures 2, jcarrcwalk went and made his own - Dragon Nornior, also known as Project Erdrick. If you've got C2, give it a go!

While they're not off adventuring, there's nothing norns like better than a good sign-along, and since they're not so good with lyrics, many notable Hands have helped them by writing songs - what's your favourite? Others prefer to spend their time writing stories, including Lis Morris' Chronology Series, Alyssa's Grenorn series, Harlander's Bibbelon 5 and the various works of jcarrcwalk's sister, Anna Carroll.

Well, that's about all we have time for, but one last tidbit - some Creature-lovers, fearing that the bibble of norns was being lost among the stars, joined the search for messages from outer space by forming a SETI@home team. Let's hope they find Sphericus one day!

The Creatures Wiki is written and edited by people like you, the ordinary members of the Creatures Community - why not come join us?

Thank you very much for the large article! There are many informations being completely new for me... for example I never heard of Dragon Nornior before.

But I would like to know more about the C1 Snow Norns. Are they really a new breed? Where is the download? And there is no picture on the Wiki...

Good questions! I am afraid I do not know the answers to them, though. Perhaps Malkin would? She is the person who posted the information on the Wiki about them - you could talk to her by editing her user talk page (she is in Australia, so expect a little delay ).

Or you could ask Amanora, since she is the person who is meant to have made them . . .

There is something described as a Snown Norn at the bottom of this page, but it is a C2 norn.

I visited Amanora's page but I couldn't find any C1 breeds... I think she would have them on her page if she was the creator. But I could ask Malkin... thank you.

The animation of the C2 Snow Norn was made by Kari, and it's only a concept.

Well, it's sorta wierd. I was browsing on Amanora's site, and they were there, so I added them quicksmart to the wiki. I then went back to the page to download them, but the page (http://www.amanora.de/creatures/c1neuenorns.php) had 404ed! I don't know what happened there. Maybe I upset Amanora by putting them on the wiki.

Maybe the weather got too warm for them, and they melted away . . .

Thanx, malkin, I hope Amanora can clarify what happened to the page and the mysterious disappearance...

Amanora herself has edited the Snow Norns page on the wiki, and she has moved it from C1 Norn breeds to being a "known project" - so they must not be done yet. *phew*!
