     Hi WT-LORD Fans and Players ...
     I've installed several IGM updates in the last couple of days.
I've corrected some typos in The Trailer House and also
recompiled it after rewriting the database functions in order to
fix the corruption.  So far ... so good!  I also fixed the problem
in an IGM that I won't name publicly so now the C-4 Explosives
will work properly!   ..... Thanks for being patient!
 
HINT HINT HINT: 
 Did you know that you can pick up some goodies when entering the 
Twilight Zone by pressing 'W'?   Wicky Wah ..... remember the
Wild Wild West tune?   It on the screen where you can see the 
by lines about Chuck and I or press another key to enter the IGM!
20 QUESTIONS:

1. Q: How long have you been playing WT-LORD?
 
     A: (James Patrick): I think I started playing Lord around '97

2. Q: What Character name/s do you use when Playing WT-LORD?

 on my mood at the time.    Nigel Perriguin - The wandering bard
Simeon Vishinski - The Frog King or Naroch - The Assassin

3. Q: Which IGM is your favorite and why?
     A: (James Patrick):   Dodge City - It has the best balance 
of risk and rewards.  You are not just given the prizes, you must 
earn them by fighting.
 
4. Q: How much time do you spend online? and doing what?
    A: (James Patrick): I am usually on-line 8 - 10 hours a day.

Chinese, rare to find these days.  Also an avid Chili cooker and fan.
 
      
6. Q: What do you do for a real job and do you like it?
    A: (James Patrick): Best way to describe my career, is I am a 
complete IT (Information Technology) department in a box.  My 
actual title is Sr. Customer Integration Consultant for a Fortune

in relationship to computer integration, software development, 
project management, networking, training, etc.  I work with 
clients that range from     Mom & Pop organizations to 
Fortune 100 companies and Federal and State government 
entities nation wide.

acre within the US.  I live in Oklahoma, the true home of

8. Q: If you learned an "Awesome Secret" about
         an IGM, would you share it or keep it a secret?
