Places to go

There's a new Clan Lord news and community site, clanlords.com. It's a nice, slightly more mature, less angry place to get your Clan Lord news than Clan Bored. There's a lot of nifty features on this site. It's a bit of a cross between slashdot and Clan Bored. It also has somewhat useful access to the comp.sys.mac.games.adventure newsgroup, something I've been missing. That interface could be a bit better, it's too easy as hell to lose your place as you follow posts. Minor nits aside, I'll be adding this one to my regular rounds.

Mind you, I can enjoy the humor of Clan Bored, but sometimes that anger is a bit unfocused. I did find Outcasts comment on pathfinding being needed to get out of library worth a chuckle, though. Whenever I follow the responses on Clan Bored, though, I'm frightened by the demographic. It never ceases to amaze me how a game that involves so much text like Clan Lord could still attract such a large base of illiterate people.

Jazz's page is also well done. Always good shots, and a taste of what's going on in the world. I enjoy checking out sites like this since I rarely have a chance to get out of the library.

I feel a pang of guilt when I try to weasel a link to this page in various Clan Lord related pages. Sure, there's a bit of me blathering about Clan Lord here, but there's an awful lot of other junk too. I suppose this page is a noble trojan horse, to get people who might be clanning just a wee bit too much, like I once did, to consider other things. Then again, maybe I'm just an attention hound. Probably the latter.

Still, if you clan a lot, and you know exactly how much is a lot, you are probably running from something. I know I was. Please note that I said "probably." The usual disclaimers apply, void where prohibited, may not be available in all states, tax and title are extra.
