- Depressed by huge wait ques and rampant cluelessness, Space Dork set out
- into the unknown, onto some desolate, forsaken server never before experienced
- by mortal men. As Hoser upon Hoser scrolled thru the message window, a vicious
- Iggy suddenly uncloaked and God spoke...
- GOD->F0 Greetings maggot...Start saying your prayers
- F0 ->ALL MUCUS?? umm sorry, thought this was an open server.
- GOD->FO No, I am the supreme netrek being
- FO ->ALL So wait, this is a CMU server ???
- GOD->FO SILENCE, I out-rank you...
- GOD->FO You must carry my words to the netrek community, If anything
- GOD->FO just to get the weenies from argueing about SC and DD's...
- FO ->ALL err umm, sure I suppose I could do that.
- GOD->FO You will receive an email. I suggest it be posted immediately
- FO ->ALL ok sure...whatever
- GOD->ALL Space Dork (F0) was kill 1.90 for Hunterkiller (Ig)
- GOD->ALL The Universe was taken over by Iggy (Ig)

- THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF NETREK
-
- I. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Sparc Station. Games are prohibited
- under section 1.2 of the student guidelines.
- II. Thou shalt not claim to base better than Balton, ogg better that MUCUS
- PIG, nor bomb better than Sunscreamer.
- III. Thou shalt not double space posts.
- IV. Thou shalt not openly taunt Berkley nor CMU. It is much more fun to
- pick on them behind their backs.
- V. Thou shalt kill....repeatedly
- VI. Thou shalt not yell "DOOSH" over 1 army. It is a pitiful and self-
- demeaning thing. 3 armies is a maybe, 4-5 is your own decision but
- 1 or 2 is wayyy out.
- VII. Honor and obey frequent posters to r.g.n, for they are the PR of the
- netrek world.
- VIII.Thou shalt not convert to RSA until after a nine month waiting period.
- Any law-suits should have been flying by then.
- IX. Thou shalt scum whenever possible.
- X. Thou shalt not attempt to split rec.games.netrek. Your Name, address,
- social security card, favorite ice-cream and childhood history will
- immediately be posted and a slander campaign begun immediately.

- And so Space Dork returned refreshed and bearing tidings to spread to the
- entire netrek world. Upon waiting 2 hours and finally logging into the
- local server however, he was immediately accused of blasphemy by the
- server god and booted out of the game. Thus ends the tale of Space Dork.
