+
+ FIRST HABITAT DIVORCEE
+ --A TEARFUL BONNIE REVEALS ALL--
+
+Bonnie, the first Habibride to be wed
+twice to the same mate, made history
+again by being Habitat's first divorcee.
+ "I think our HabiMarriage was doomed
+from the first," Bonnie confided, "and
+the second wasn't an improvement." Her
+first Habiwedding to Dragonfish was one
+disaster after another. First, the
+bride suddenly fell prey to the epidemic
+of Cootie-itis that was sweeping the
+city. Abbot Greg P was unable to
+
+ 19
+
+
+ BONNIE'S TEARFUL TALE
+
+attend and the ceremony was performed
+by self-proclaimed judge CLB, whom, it
+was later learned, was not empowered to
+perform HabiMarriages. The Maid of Honor
+and Best Man were also missing. At the
+end of the wedding, Dragonfish, the
+groom, announced that he didn't have
+time for a honeymoon and left the
+tearful bride waiting at the church.
+ Several weeks later, the ceremony
+was repeated, this time with Abbot Greg,
+Maid of Honor and Best Man present.
+
+ 20
+
+
+ BONNIE'S TEARFUL TALE
+
+ At first, all seemed well, but again,
+the strangely reluctant groom avoided
+the HabiHoneymoon.
+ Bonnie told The Rant and her
+attorneys, SkyLine and Chameleon, that
+she thought the HabiMarriage had been
+consummated before the first ceremony,
+but since things are so different in
+Habitat, she wasn't sure. She kept
+sobbing something unintelligible about
+"making soup broth".
+ When last seen, the HabiDivorcee was
+strolling around with a new Avatar.

+Every adventurer should set up a box

+Adventuring. Here are a few from our own
+list:
+1) ESCAPE DEVICE 2) COMPASS
+3) TORCH/FLASHLIGHT 4) WEAPON
+5) PAPER for MAPPING 6) EMPTY BOX

+The weapon is not optional since the

+Weds, Feb 17, 1988 AC: Sheriff Gary M
+decided not to arrest thief and murderer
+Raoultfool on the grounds that there was
+no place the Sheriff could hold him.
+ The Sheriff reportedly said that the
+jail wasn't designed by the Oracle to
+keep people in. Raoul said he was volun-
+teering for jail but there was still no
+deal. When asked why the jail was made
+this way, The Oracle replied, "Look, I
+could give you some 'Verily-I-Sayeth-All
+Avatars-Hear-Me' mumbo jumbo but really
+kiddo the truth is that it is none of
+your beeswax." -Caterwaul-

+Dear Habitat Pilot Tester:
+
+On behalf of all of us at Quantum
+and Lucasfilm, I'd like to thank you
+for your assistance in taking Habitat
+out for a "test drive." We hope it's
+been as much fun for you as it has
+been helpful to us.
+
+Thanks to your cooperation, we've
+learned a lot over the last few months.
+Now it's time for us to step back and
+analyze the results of this test.
+ Ü@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Ü
+Ð@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Ï

+
+
+Next week we will begin the process of
+evaluating all of the data we have
+compiled. During the evaluation process
+we will have to temporarily close
+Habitat while we test some technical
+changes. Therefore, Habitat will not be
+available beginning on Friday, May 5th.
+
+We expect to complete our evaluations
+and tests in about 4 weeks and will
+keep you posted on Habitat's
+re-introduction. So, keep your disk
+intact -- you'll need it when Habitat
+is available again!
+Ü@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Ü
+ 3
+
+
+
+Also on Friday, the Habitat Testers
+Area will transform back to CIN.
+However, we still encourage you to
+send us your comments and feedback
+on YOUR Habitat experience. Please
+send your comments and feedback by
+E-Mail to "Pilot Test". This
+information will be very helpful
+to us during our final evaluation
+period.
+
+
+ Ü@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Ü

+
+
+
+Again, our most heartfelt thanks for
+your help and cooperation in testing
+Habitat. As we've said before, your
+feedback and comments (yes, and
+complaints) have been our guideposts
+in determining what we have to do
+over the next month.

+Take a hike through the woods (again).
+Along the side of the road is a
+(sort of) well-known resort. Take a look

+
+You better hurry if you get this clue.
+You may find the key but not win the

+RJScott is right!! The Oracle is not

+side to the Oracle that not all see!

+Go through the woods, beyond the Dark
