[[Image:Fv01017-2.png|right|frame|Sam Starfall and [[Helix]]]]

'''Sam Starfall''' is an alien character in the [[webcomic]] ''[[Freefall]]''. He is the captain of the ''Savage Chicken'' and a freelance con artist. He has aspirations to become as infamous a thief as [[Wikipedia:Bruno the Bandit|Bruno the Bandit]], although he already has quite a reputation with a wide range of restaurants and other establishments, not to mention all the people whose wallets and wristwatches he's stolen.

Despite his constant trickery and self-serving tendencies, Sam cannot be considered evil. It could be argued that he lacks the mental capacity. In addition, some of his most daring exploits in larceny have been for things he was simply too lazy to buy and did not intend to keep. So on one hand, his clumsiness tends to foil his plots, whereas on the other hand, his twisted logic may serve to get him out of trouble. It is also implied that his behavior is a common characteristic of his [[species]].

Sam has exhibited a [[Wikipedia:Tom Sawyer|Tom Sawyer]]-like insistence on pulling off crimes the "proper way." During one attempt to escape through the roof of a museum he just robbed, his rope came untied; Sam's response was to leave through the door, climb up to the roof, retie the rope, return through the door, and then climb up the rope — requiring him to pay the admission fee on the way back in. Sam also has a huge ego, which (among other things) makes him oblivious to the fact that his own ship's computer has it in for him.

Since the arrival of his ship's engineer, [[Florence Ambrose]] (which he arranged by [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff100/fv00005.htm bribing a shipping clerk]), he has at times been foiled by Florence's unerring honesty, although he certainly appreciates her hard work in getting his ship in working order. After receiving the commission for his first honest job, he admitted he was tempted to "go straight". Still, he has also been trying to get Florence to "loosen up" for the entire time she has been working for him.
[[Image:Freefall-1207-panel3.png|right|frame|Sam doesn't always fit in with other people]]
Sam's true physical form has never actually been seen, with the possible exception of fan art. He claims to be of a race of sapient squid-like beings (who [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1300/fv01239.htm appear to have] at least six limbs) and wears a humanoid environmental suit complete with an animatronic face which he controls with his "cute little facial tentacles." By diet he is a scavenger, and he has said that his physical appearance has the tendency to cause people to give up their lunch — which, attractive an offer as it is, is still annoying.

However, despite the trail of chaos (and frayed tempers) he leaves in his wake, Sam's actions have suggested he isn't a bad person (or alien) at heart. He has never been known to have intentionally hurt anyone, and his cheerful demeanor (aided by the happy face permanently manufactured onto his environment suit) has appealed to ''Freefall's'' readers, who enjoy watching his successes just as much as the times he ends up being beaten with a stick.

Animalympics

[[image:Animalympics.jpg|160px|thumb|right|Front cover of the VHS edition]]
'''''Animalympics''''' is an animated television special that was created by [[Wikipedia:Steven_Lisberger|Steven Lisberger]] (creator of the film ''[[Wikipedia:Tron (film)|Tron]]'') for the [[Wikipedia:1980 Olympic Games|1980 Olympic Games]]. The show had two parts: the Winter Games, a half-hour special (22 minutes) which was aired February 1, 1980, and the Summer Games, an hour special (44 minutes) which was to be aired in the summer of 1980, but was never shown due to the [[Wikipedia:American-led_boycott_of_the_1980_Summer_Olympics|US boycott of the Summer Olympic Games]]. The two shows were then edited together, with some filler scenes removed, into a 78 minute feature that was shown on pay TV channels and eventually released on VHS. It was released on DVD, in Germany on October 5, 2007.

''Animalympics'' is the story of the animal version of the Olympic Games. [[Anthropomorphic]] animals of many diverse species came to compete in winter and summer game events, representing the continents of their origin. Many now-famous animators and voice talents contributed to the project. The style of the character design and art production was something short of [[Disney]], but much better then typical [[Saturday morning cartoons|Saturday Morning fare]]. The story revolved around the coverage of the games by the ZOO network, an obvious parody of the "close up and personal" style coverage of sporting events by TV networks. Many well-known celebrities' voices were spoofed by the voice actors, including [[Wikipedia:Howard Cosell|Howard Cosell]] and [[Wikipedia:Barbara Walters|Barbara Walters]] (by [[Wikipedia:Billy Crystal|Billy Crystal]] and [[Wikipedia:Gilda Radner|Gilda Radner]] respectively). The show was aimed at a broad audience, with much of the humor flying over the heads of kids. The soundtrack, including some original vocal numbers, was created by Graham Gouldman, of the pop group [[Wikipedia:10cc|10cc]].

''Animalympics'' was screened at the first [[Furry]] party, in 1985 (before the word Furry had come into common usage). The special version that was shown included a very rare complete copy of the Winter Games and a carefully edited version of the feature, returned to the original Summer Games format. This "special edition" was created by members the [[C/FO]] animation fan club, and was screened at [[Science Fiction]] [[convention]]s and Furry parties all over the world. The show's dry humor, clever story and attractive characters made ''Animalympics'' one of the most popular "exclusive" films of Furry Fandom. At least part of its popularity among fur fen can be attributed to the sheer number of animal species found in it, many of them rarely (if ever) animated before. An [[otter]], a Russian sable, a [[mink]], a flamingo, an [[orca]], [[hedgehog]]s, and squid are among the dozens of animal types in the cast. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the fans who had seen the show so many times that most could repeat the dialog entirely from memory (and often do), ''Animalympics'' has been called "The [[Wikipedia:Rocky Horror|Rocky Horror]] of Furry Fandom".

Several characters from the movie have attracted their own followers and fans within furry fandom, especially [[Kit Mambo]], [[Dean Wilson]], and [[Kurt Wuffner]]. (The character design for Kit Mambo was an influence on [[Ken Sample]]'s original forays into furry artwork.)

Steven Lisberger, however, has apparently disavowed his role in the creation of this film. In the director's commentary on the "special edition" DVD of ''Tron,'' Lisberger described ''Tron'' as his first animated feature film; he seemed reluctant to mention his "previous" animated feature when the subject was brought up.

Cross Time Cafe

2007-11-05T21:16:45Z

Modemac:

[[Image:ctcbutton.jpg|right|Cross Time Cafe]]
The '''''Cross Time Cafe''''' is a crossover [[webcomic]] started in 2003. It features [[character]]s from ''[[Freefall]]'', ''[[21st Century Fox]]'', ''[[Carry On]]'' and ''[[Freighter Tails]]'', as well as various characters from these comics' [[forum]]s. The [[comic]]s are primarily drawn (''in order, by total number of strips drawn'') by [[Scudder Kidwell|Scudder "White Pony" Kidwell]], [[Kathy Kellogg]] (née Garrison), [[Mark Stanley]] and/or [[Scott Kellogg]], with occasional guest [[artist]]s.

* '''Address''': http://www.whiteponyproductions.com/comicstrips/ctc/present.htm
* '''Ran from/to''': October 2003 - present

== Concept ==
{{rating-pg-button2}}
The concept behind the comic is that it exists outside of the above comics' continuities, allowing the characters to let their hair down and relax. As noted on the site itself:

:''What you see and read inside the "Cross Time Cafe" here in no way reflects or affects what is happening inside the Official Online Canon of anyone [sic] artist's currently running storyline. What takes place inside the "Cross Time Cafe" is all in fun and silliness; and should not be taken seriously.''

The general plot line has [[Florence Ambrose|Florence]] (''Freefall''), White Pony (S. Kidwell's character) and [[Mzzkiti]] (''Freighter Tails'') running the Cross Time Cafe in their spare time. They are frequently visited by [[Jack Black]], [[Jenny Curtis]] (''21st CF'') and [[Kathy Grrsn]] (''Carry On''), as well as other characters. Florence and White Pony are a couple, an idea that originated in [[APA]]s and [[fanzine]]s of old, well before the current webcomics.

Each episode of the strip is written in "round robin" style: the current artist is free to continue whatever happened in the previous strip, taking off in any direction he or she chooses. This has resulted in two or three ongoing subplots, which have slowly proceeded since the beginnings of the strip:

* Florence and White Pony have become lost exploring the catacombs beneath the Cafe (though it is implied they aren't very far away).
* Mzzkiti is attempting to manage the actual cafe, though she has to put up with incompetence from her employees...especially Sam Starfall, who acquired a monstrous wreck of a food-vending machine that now needs to be repaired.
* A clutch of ''sqids'' (Sam's origin species) have shown up, and are in the beginning stages of their own plan for world domination.

== History ==

A pretty good [http://web.archive.org/web/20010506015528/http://felis.org/FurryHistory/ History of FurryMUCK] was prepared by [[Jahangiri]], covering 1990 to 2000:

Here is a summary:
*'''August 1990''': [[BlueMage]], Neil M, a student at North Carolina State University started a Muck on one of the servers. The theme was to mimic the university's campus which has unusual areas like underground steam tunnels. There were steam tunnels, a bandstand, and other initial objects. [[BlueMage]], invited [[Melissa Whitfield|Gypsy]], Melissa Whitfield, to help out with building the Muck. She was made a wizard (object #2). Melissa saw that the project would be a large endeavor and invited her boyfriend [[Drew Maxell]] to help with the building. The NCState theme didnt seem to catch on. A new theme was discussed and Drew brought in the idea of FurryMUCK (hatched from discussions between him and his housemates). Drew then invited his housemates [[Ashtoreth]], [[Shaterri]], [[Centaur (character)|Centaur]], and [[Erych]], [[Abigail]] ([[Claire Benedikt]]), [[Ryuuko]] - [[Revar (FurryMUCK)|Revar]], [[Conrad Wong|lynx]] and [[Tugrik]] arrive shortly after the launch
*'''Spring 1991''': FurryMUCK outgrows the resources and good graces of the administrators at NC State. It moves to the University of California at Irvine.

*'''October 2000''': @shout is removed over age concerns and abuse. A private version called "Scream", written by Sarusa, fills the void left by @shout. Being outside of wizard control, it is not censored and becomes a community of its own.
*'''March 2001''': [[Dwight Dutton]] started an eBay auction on the domain names furrymuck.com/net/org. The wizards were not pleased (see [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.furry/browse_frm/thread/1e6c7e414895fac4 this post] to [[alt.fan.furry|a.f.f.]] by Shaterri), and shut the auction down, but not before it reached $500. [[Darrel Exline]], the high bidder, bought the names for $550, and later let the domain registrations lapse. Triggur bought them and donated them back to FurryMUCK. The domains are now managed by lynx. One result was an increased highlighting of the use of the term "FurryMUCK" as a [[Wikipedia:service mark|service mark]].
{{rating-14-button2}}

== Places ==

In general, all public areas of FurryMUCK are officially PG-13, although conversation has a habit of straying into more mature topics. Private areas, and areas specified for the purpose, may have a higher rating. See also [[:Category:FurryMUCK locations|FurryMUCK locations]] for significant locations with their own articles.

=== Hermaphrodite Haven ===

The [[Hermaphrodite Haven]] (''t hh'') is an establishment for hermaphrodite enthusiasts and fetishists, party to both hermaphrodite or shemale characters and those who enjoy [[roleplay]] with them. The grounds are age-locked against minors for sexually explicit behavior. Founded by [[Tulip]], it is now operated by [[Shadow]]. Most activity actually takes place in the clubhouse grounds, although there is a [[truth or dare]] room inside. Nearby is Lake Hermy, and adjacent to the Haven are the Hermaphrodite Estates, a set of strictly [[herm]]-only residences. The structure has been 'under construction' for the better part of a decade, functionally frozen.

=== Libertyville Nude Beach ===

Libertyville Nude Beach (''t lnb'') is another age-locked social hangout. Characters must be equipped with a nude [[description]] before entering.

=== Willing Victims Guild ===

The Willing Victims Guild (''t wvg''), age-locked, is designed to bring dominant and submissive characters together to arrange roleplay. Safeword rules and BDSM conventions apply.

=== [[The Emerald City Tavern]] ===

An adult rated area for casual discussion and socialization. Similar to the West Corner of the Park, but with no conversational age limit. Maintained by [[Sorien]] and [[Cuprohastes]].

=== [[Palace of Dragons]] (gone) ===

The Palace of Dragons was a very popular Truth or Dare (T|D) area. It was a giant platform floating in the sky, and had four "pools" in which players could sit, and a programmed system by which players can play Truth or Dare with each other. The system kept track of the question being asked, dares given, and whether the questions had been answered or dares completed. For most of its existence until its closure in the late 1990s, the Palace of Dragons was one of the more consistently popular hangouts only second to [[West Corner of the Park]].

Due to an apparent disagreement with the Wizards on its operation and age-locked status, the Palace of Dragons was eventually shut down and moved to [[Tapestries]] at some point in the late 1990s. Perhaps the greatest irony is that on Tapestries it hardly gets any use; by moving to a new MUCK, all the culture that had been built around it evaporated instantly; people were not willing to move to a whole other MUCK to continue enjoying T|D games.

There have been several replacements for the Palace of Dragons on FurryMUCK, but none of them have gained any traction; there no longer seems to be a well-known central location to play Truth or Dare on the MUCK.

== Regular events ==

* The [[Owlhaven Literary Lounge]] has weekly story readings every Tuesday night at 7pm CST (GMT-6)
* [[Artist's Ambush]] occurs every Monday in the [[Studio de l'Artiste]] at 10:30pm EST (GMT-5) (For January and February 2006, ambushes will be held on Wednesdays instead of Mondays)

== Programming ==

FurryMUCK offers two types of programming:
*[[MPI]], a [[Wikipedia:Lisp programming language|Lisp]] inspired text-replacement language used by most regular players for simple scripts
*[[MUF]], typically used for more complex operations and to implement system [[action]]s - apprentice access typically granted on request

== Organization ==

FurryMUCK is run by its [[wizard]]s, those responsible for keeping it up and running smoothly.

=== Current [[wizard]]s ===

*[[Aragh]] - Player Relations / Character Creation
*[[Chip_Unicorn]] - Player Relations
*[[Drew]] - @age registration / Player Relations
*[[Frang]] - Player Relations
*[[K'has]] - Player Relations
*[[Lisa_Lynx]] - Player Relations
*[[Conrad Wong|Lynx]] - Server Problems and Restarts
*[[Mishael]] - Assistant @age registration and character creation
*[[Nightwind]] - MUF/MPI / Helpstaff / Idle Purges / @age assistant
*[[Shaterri]] - Player Relations
*[[Tugrik]] - Site Administration / Builder Wizard / Quota

[[Revar (FurryMUCK)|Revar]] is not a wizard, but is responsible for many of FurryMUCK's scripts and helps Tugrik with administration.

=== Previous [[wizard]]s ===

Players who are no longer wizards for one reason or another include:

*[[Centaur (character)|Centaur]] - Recycling
*[[Erych]] (1990-1991)
*[[Abigail]] / Claire ([[Claire Benedikt]]) (1990-?)
*[[Archteryx]] (1991)
*[[Lionman]] (1991-1992)
*[[Revar (FurryMUCK)|Revar]] (1992)
*[[S'A'Alis]]: Character Creation / Site Administration (Oct 1993 - [http://www.flayrah.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=275 stepped down] Jul 2001)
*[[O'nara]]: Assistant to S'A'Alis
*[[Kimi]] (1992-1995)
*[[Silent Red]] (? - June 1999)
*[[Riss]] - MUF Wizard / Asst. Character Creation / Zombies (1992 - Apr 1999)
*[[Points]] (1995 - Feb 1999)
*[[Slipstream]]: MUF/MPI Asst. / Globals Maintenance (Nov 1996 - Feb 1999)
'''''Note''': This list is probably incomplete.''

=== Mayors of FurryMUCK ===
FurryMUCK has historically also had a Mayor, typically [http://web.archive.org/web/20010414091601/felis.org/FurryHistory/election.html elected], although the mayoralty has been known to pass hands for as much as $1.37, and little as the wag of a tail. It was an official part of the process that new mayors were selected in a different way each time. The first mayor was selected by a relatively fair election, so all others thereafter were selected by varying other methods, all deliberately corrupt in some way. Bribery, nepotism, theocracy, and vote-buying were all used.

The joke is that despite the good–natured (and otherwise) hullabaloo over the selection process, the post is almost entirely symbolic. The only responsibility of the Mayor being to change the name of the currency. One day you may be strolling through the park and see "You found a reason to taunt a fox!" and the next you might see "You have 234 catnip mice." Toast [http://www.panix.com/~jpeterso/mayor/ explains]:

:''A good mayor changes the currency frequently, no less than every other day, RL permitting.''

Past Mayors and how they lost their title include:

* [[Triggur]] (mid-1994 to February 1995) - position bought out in a shady deal with [[Tugrik]]
* [[AJWolf]] (February 1995 to January 1996) - sold for loose change at [[ConFurence]] 7
* [[Frang]] (January 1996 - October 1997?) - lost in a corrupt election where the votes could be bought
* [[Toast]] (October 1997 - August 1998) - delivered to a god by material sacrifice
* [[Inari (FurryMUCK mayor)|Inari]] (August 1998 - October 1999) - lost a contentious election
* [[Mwerevu]] - (October 1999 - July 2000) - voluntarily stepped down
* [[Rose de Stitches]] - (July 2000 - August 2000?) - dethroned after protests, the wizards got annoyed and declared the Mayoralty suspended

While players have asked for the Mayorship contest to return, so far the wizards have not re-approved the event.

Sam Starfall

2006-10-25T17:39:21Z

Modemac:

[[Image:Fv01017-2.png|right|frame|Sam Starfall and [[Helix]]]]

'''Sam Starfall''' is an alien character in the [[webcomic]] ''[[Freefall]]''. He is the captain of the ''Savage Chicken'' and a freelance con artist. He has aspirations to become as infamous a thief as [[Wikipedia:Bruno the Bandit|Bruno the Bandit]], although he already has quite a reputation with a wide range of restaurants and other establishments.

Despite his constant trickery and self-serving tendencies, Sam cannot be considered evil. It could be argued that he lacks the mental capacity. In addition, some of his most daring exploits in larceny have been for things he was simply too lazy to buy and did not intend to keep. So on one hand, his clumsiness tends to foil his plots, whereas on the other hand, his twisted logic may serve to get him out of trouble. It is also implied that his behavior is a common characteristic of his [[species]].

Sam has exhibited a [[Wikipedia:Tom Sawyer|Tom Sawyer]]-like insistence on pulling off crimes the "proper way." During one attempt to escape through the roof of a museum he just robbed, his rope came untied; Sam's response was to leave through the door, climb up to the roof, retie the rope, return through the door, and then climb up the rope -- requiring him to pay the admission fee on the way back in. Sam also has a huge ego, which (among other things) makes him oblivious to the fact that his own ship's computer has it in for him.

Since the arrival of his ship's engineer, [[Florence Ambrose]] (which he is aware was a bureaucratic blunder), he has at times been foiled by Florence's unerring honesty, although he certainly appreciates her hard work in getting his ship in working order. After receiving the commission for his first honest job, he admitted he was tempted to "go straight". Still, he has also been trying to get Florence to "loosen up" for the entire time she has been working for him.
[[Image:Freefall-1207-panel3.png|right|frame|Sam doesn't always fit in with other people]]
Sam's true physical form has never actually been seen, with the possible exception of fan art. He claims to be of a race of sapient squid-like beings (who [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1300/fv01239.htm appear to have] at least six limbs) and wears a humanoid environmental suit complete with an animatronic face which he controls with his "cute little facial tentacles." By diet he is a scavenger, and he has said that his physical appearance has the tendency to cause people to give up their lunch, which, attractive an offer as it is, is still annoying.

However, despite the trail of chaos (and frayed tempers) he leaves in his wake, Sam's actions have suggested he isn't a bad person (or alien) at heart. He has never been known to have intentionally hurt anyone, and his cheerful demeanor (aided by the happy face permanently manufactured onto his environment suit) has appealed to ''Freefall's'' readers, who enjoy watching his successes just as much as the times he ends up being beaten with a stick.

Kratsminsch

2006-08-29T22:28:56Z

Modemac:

'''Kratsminsch''' is a [[skunk]] [[character]] often found on [[FurryMUCK]]. Her player is known for having founded and maintained [[The Trap Line BBS]], a furry dial-up bulletin board based out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, during the late 1980s and well into the '90s.

Her player is a skunk afficionado in real life, and regularly keeps domesticated skunks. Her player's current skunk companions are '''The Mighty Gherkin''' and '''Moriarty'''.

9/11 Furry Status Page

2006-08-15T16:16:24Z

Modemac:

The '''WTC Furry Status Page''' was to be a "once in a lifetime" web page created in response to the terrorist attacks on the [[Wikipedia:World_Trade_Center|World Trade Center]] in [[Wikipedia:New York City|New York City, United States]], on that fateful day of [[Wikipedia:September_11,_2001_attacks|September 11, 2001 (9/11)]].

*'''Address''': http://qrm.exodus.net/fur-status.html (down, [http://web.archive.org/web/20011208210551/http://qrm.exodus.net/fur-status.html archived])
*'''Founder''': [[Phyxis]]
*'''Operational dates''': September 11, 2001 - September 17, 2001

Within hours of the tragedy, queries for friends and loved ones living in the New York area started to circulate through out the whole of [[furry fandom]] (on [[Usenet]], [[MUCKs]], mailing lists and forums). To help this endeavor, [[Phyxis]] created this page for [[furries]] to quickly locate, inform or check the status of any fur in the area of the attack. The HTML tabled web page itself was broken down in several columns which were ''"Primary Character Name"'', ''"Aliases, etc..."'', ''"Last Update"'', ''"State, Country"'', ''"Needs Info?"'', ''"Current Status"'', ''"Additional Information"'' and ''"Last Update"''.

Although most of these were self-explanatory, some, such as ''"Needs Info?"'', were reserved for still missing furs (last one being [[FireFoxx]]) before everybody's status was confirmed; ''"Current Status"'' was to indicate if such fur was alright, missing, or deceased; ''"Additional Information"'' indicated last known location, or miscellaneous information; while, finally, ''"Last Update"'' was the last fur to confirm a particular furry's final status.

By September 17, 2001, everybody was accounted for. Of 96 New York area furries, 94 were to be found safe, while two perished during the Towers' collapse. Those furs were:

* [[Walter Senge]] (also known as DesertCat), and [[Elizabeth Martin Gregg]] (also known as Lisa Gregg) (In Memoriam).

Even though the page had fulfilled its function by September 17 of 2001, it remained online until December 8 of that same year.

Buzz

2006-08-15T11:12:28Z

Modemac:

[[Image:Buzz_by_Blackroo1967.jpg|100px|left|Buzz]][[Image:BuzzBrambles.jpg|130px|right|Buzz]]
'''Anita "Buzz" Brambles''' is an [[anthropomorphic]] [[bunny]] on [[FurryMUCK]] who is best known for two traits. When new [[furs]] meet her, they are inevitably attracted to her oversized bosom (a trait intentionally added by her creator, [[Angry Dave]]). However, Buzz is more well-known on Furry for her personality: she's a Southern Belle bunny (with a heavy accent) who is seen as sweet, amiable, and prone to giving big, soft, and bosomy [[hug]]s. (She is also generally not a [[yiffy]] [[character]], preferring conversation to outright [[TinySex]]).

Her nickname comes from the fact that she is depicted as having a short, military-style "buzz cut" hairdo.

Buzz has been a popular character with a number of [[furry artist]]s. Angry Dave manages an archive of Buzz's pictures, both by himself and (many) gifts and contributions by furry artists.

Buzz's [[pinfo]] states: <tt>"Buzz is a fun loving lil' Southern belle of a [[rabbit]]. [[IC]]-wise, she's AngryDave's cousin, from around [[wikipedia:Tuscaloosa, Alabama|Tuscaloosa]], [[wikipedia:Alabama|Alabama]]. [[OOC]]-wise, she's AngryDave's alt. Yup, her [[player]] is (obviously) a guy. A straight one at that, go figure. Buzz is mainly a way for AD t' blow off steam and play a character for a change, and not just himself. Take that into consideration before ya try any funny business with her."</tt>

:Hmm, that's definitely worth considering... Not that I have anything against sphinxes, but I'll try pondering about with some other creatures to see what the alternatives could be. --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 08:03, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)
::I searched a bit around on the net, but didn't find anything especially more suitable (we've got the dragons, of course - too bad the name 'Dragon's Lair' was done to death a long time ago :). The Sphinx hasn't been used in nearly as many occasions, from what I gather - it would perhaps give the page that unique (or at least rarely seen) touch, making it stand out a bit more. --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 22:44, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)

* How about the ''Help Den''? It's obviously just a resemblance of the name ''Help Desk'', only with a somewhat furry slant. ;) --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 09:06, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Lion

2006-01-29T15:21:37Z

Modemac:

The '''Lion''' (''Panthera leo'') is a [[mammal]] of the family [[Felidae]]. According to [[Pounced.org]], they are the [[List of most popular phenotypes|eighth most popular phenotype]] in the fandom. Many lions come from the "[[The Lion King]]" fandom before joining the furry fandom.

==Biology==
The male lion, easily recognized by his mane, may weigh up to 250 kg (550 lb). Females are much smaller, weighing up to 180 kg (400 lb). In the wild lions live for around 10-14 years, while in captivity they can live over 20. Lions are [[predator|predatory]] [[carnivore]]s who live in family groups, called prides, consisting of related [[female]]s, their cubs of both sexes, and one or more unrelated males who mate with the adult females. The females do the hunting for the pride while the males are largely occupied with maintaining the borders of their territory. Males are expelled from the pride when they reach maturity. When or if a male coalition takes over a pride and ousts the previous coalition, the conquerors often kill any cubs that they did not father.

Lions are one of the most sexually active cats. During a female's oestrus cycle, a male and female will mate unabated for 5-7 days every 10 to 20 minutes. However, it takes 6-9 oestrus cycles for the female to become pregnant.

There are several subspecies of lion, most of which once existed or currently exist on the continent of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa Africa]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiatic_Lion Asiatic Lion], or ''Panthera leo persica'' lives in present-day [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gir_Forest Gir Forest] region of India. The remaining subspecies of lion, along with their scientific names and habitat, are the following...

* ''Panthera leo azandica'' - North East Congo lion.
* ''Panthera leo bleyenberghi'' - Katanga lion.
* ''Panthera leo hollisteri'' - Congo lion.
* ''Panthera leo krugeri'' - South African lion.
* ''Panthera leo leo'' - Barbary lion (Morocco to Egypt); Extinct in 1922.
* ''Panthera leo massaicus'' - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massai Massai] lion.
* ''Panthera leo melanochaita'' - Cape lion; Extinct in 1860.
* ''Panthera leo nubica'' - East African lion.
* ''Panthera leo persica'' - The Asiatic lion.
* ''Panthera leo roosevelti'' - Abyssinian lion.
* ''Panthera leo senegalensis'' - West African lion, or Senegal lion.
* ''Panthera leo somaliensis'' - Somali lion.
* ''Panthera leo verneyi'' - Kalahari lion.

Barbary lions were the largest of the lion sub-species, and were kept by Roman emperors - who ordered the capture of literally thousands of individuals to fight in the gladiator arenas.

Despite its popular moniker of "King of the Jungle", the lion is an animal of the open plains. As a result, it has been the target of extensive poaching, and is now a threatened species with significant populations being limited to national parks in Tanzania and South Africa, as well as the Gir Forest.

Y?

2006-01-29T15:21:05Z

Modemac:

[[image:2091.jpg|right]]
'''''Y?''''' is a [[furry]] [[comic]] by [[artist]] [[Gordon McVey]], about [[wikipedia:Lesbian|lesbians]] living in this day and age. The strip began on August 7th, 2004, and continues through the present. The author tries to update it every day, but gets in at least a strip a week.

==About the comic==
Unlike other furry comics about [[gay|homosexuality]], ''Y?'' presents it in a different way. While it contains [[yiff|sex]] (in an R-rated movie way) it doesn't contain sexually explicit content. The comic isn't about sex, it's about life. The [[character]]s are real life, down to earth, and could be seen in any comic outside of the furry realm. Their speech is written in a accented tone and is fluid. The art is also very stylised and is definitely a distinguishing feature of the strip.

==Storyline==
The comic centers around [[Sam]], an unemployed, overweight twenty-something who, when she's first introduced, just finished her first act of sex with a lesbian, a woman named [[Adrian]]. They enjoy being together and begin a friendship, going out the next morning for food. Later, Sam blows her friends off to hang out with Adrian more. Since Adrian is going to the bar to meet with some old lesbian friends of her's, it help introduce some of the other characters featured in the comic: [[Terry]], [[Emma]], [[Jen]], [[Lara]], and [[Jacket]]. As the story progresses, the characters go through life and deal with the problems of the real world, but have each other for support.

Not recommended for a young audience, due to sexual and drug content, but is great for mature adults.

The Last Unicorn

2006-01-29T15:20:32Z

Modemac:

'''''The Last Unicorn''''' is an animated movie released in 1982 about a young unicorn who is searching for more of her kind, but is told by all that she is the last. It is based on a book written by [[Peter S. Beagle]] with the same title.

{{spoiler}}
==Relation to the Furry Fandom==
As with many animated movies aimed towards children, '''The Last Unicorn''' features speaking animals as a major part in the plot. Also, the Unicorn and Almathea are the same being, one being a unicorn and the other being a human, but they never exist at the same time so cannot exactly be considered [[anthro]].

==Voice Talent==
* The Last Unicorn/Amalthea..............Mia Farrow
* Schmendrick..................................Alan Arkin
* King Haggard.................................Christopher Lee
* Molly Grue.....................................Tammy Grimes
* Lir.................................................Jeff Bridges
* Mommy Fortuna.............................Angela Lansbury
* The Butterfly..................................Robert Klein
* Cully.............................................Keenan Wynn
* The Skull.......................................Rene Auberjonois
* Mabruk..........................................Paul Frees
* Ruhk the hunchback.......................Brother Theodore
* The Cat..........................................Don Messick
* The Tree........................................Nellie Bellflower

==Trivia==
* The riddle that Schmendrick used to distract Ruhk while freeing the Unicorn is the same unanswerable riddle that the Mad-Hatter gives Alice in ''[[Wikipedia:Alice's Adventures in Wonderland|Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]''. The riddle is, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"
* The movie's soundtrack was a German best-selling album in 1983.
* ''The Last Unicorn'' was animated by Topcraft, the same company that helped anime director [[Wikipedia:Hayao Miyazaki|Hayao Miyazaki]] gain his fame.
* James Earl Jones, Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamill of ''Star Wars'' fame were all considered for voicing characters in this film.
* In Greek mythology, Amalthea is the name of the goat the nursed baby Zeus.
* A remake is planned for release in 2006 with some of the original actors reprising their roles.

West Corner of The Park (location)

2006-01-25T00:48:31Z

Modemac:

'''West Corner of The Park (WCOTP)''' is a location on [[FurryMUCK]] that is the dubbed Center of the Furryverse. The park is a PG-13 area, and includes a bulletin board and links to other areas of the park. This is a major location for many furs to congregate at, as it is the first place a user as a guest gets dropped to when they are released from their holding area. It is the place to chat, idle, and ask for general help all in one place. While [[role-playing]] used to occur frequently there, it has been less prevalent over the years as FurryMUCK's player base matures.

All newly-created characters on FurryMUCK, including [[guest]]s, appear in the West Corner of the Park after they appear under the Bandstand. When a player's furry character appears in the Park, he or she can type the command ''around'' to move to the [[Character Setup]] area, which is located on the otherside of the [[Bandstand]].

Due to its location, the [[Park Message Board]] is the most widely-read message board on FurryMUCK. Furs can read and post to the board from the West Corner of the Park; though if a fur wants to read the board and write in private, he can type the command ''board'' to step closer to the board and leave the same area as the other furs in the Park.

The longevity, popularity, and high number of furs spending time in the West Corner of the Park has given rise to a large number of role-playing [[TinyPlot]]s. A number of these TinyPlots have involved the comings and goings of furry characters who make regular appearances in the Park.

Many furs in the Park have moved in the wrong direction and accidentally fallen into the [[In the Pond|Pond]]. (Some of the wizards have made sport of tossing unsuspecting furs into the Pond...or certain furs who they like having fun with). Although it was never actually added to the official description of the Park or the Pond, it was generally agreed among furries that the large number of furs tossed into the pond over the years caused it to become polluted and unhealthy. (As some furs occasionally commented, "would you want to swim in the same pond as [[Triggur]] and [[Lumpy]]?") In the year 2000, the wizards engaged in a massive "cleanup effort" to make the pond pure and healthy again. The slide to the pond was also added at this time.

(Some furs also point to an unofficial bare spot in the grass, noting the spot where [[Lumpy]] once sat and [[idling|idled]] until he was [[toading|toaded]].)

== Other parts of the park ==

* '''[[North Corner of The Park]]''': includes FurryMUCK Tourist Information Board
* '''[[East Corner of The Park]]''': includes Book of Condolence for the events in the US on 11th September 2001 and Gazebo (a gateway to alternate versions of the park)
* '''[[South Corner of The Park]]''': contains Bulletin Board Annex (preferred by those who prefer reading undisturbed by conversation)
* '''[[In the Pond]]'''
* '''The [[Bandstand]]'''. It includes a plaque: "The Park, designed and built by [[Ashtoreth]], 8/90."
* '''[[Under the Bandstand]]'''. This is the default home for new players on FurryMUCK. Players are encouraged to find a home elsewhere: "Anyone here for more than a month WILL be recycled." This policy is somewhat regularly enforced.

There is also [[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|a comic]] with the same name, by [[Jim Groat]], a.k.a. Rabbi_Tom, based on happenings there.
