Hello and welcome to the first issue of M.M.S., Marapets Mind Salad! Basically this is just a jumble of tips, help, and random stuff. ^^
If you want your story, poem, joke, graphics or if there is a topic you want discussed in the next issue, mail Chl0j0 and it might be featured here!
Ahh marapets, a place of nerds who have nothing better to do but waste their time, . Lately it seems Ian has taken a lot of interest into the site, right in time for the holidays. Speak of the holidays, the mara economy is doing well, due to the buying, selling, and giving of Christmas presents, so why is mara in a depression? The world may never know... Whats new on mara? (: Why this of course! Because of the new news feeds and blog layouts, blog popularity has sky rocketed. The new forums are also a popular item, not to mention the Reese smilies. ;D
Also, the brand new Vixen pet has caught quite a few eyes throughout marapets, their popularity is booming! Do you like the new Vixen pet? Why or why not? Discuss in the comments! (:
--Marapoint help tip of the week--
Looking for some more money? Try doing Elgar Quests! Make sure not to spend over 5k on a quest, if your looking to make sure to profit from it, though.
Secondly, if you have the time and patience, learn how to code blog and club layouts. They are in high demand and are paid for very well! There are peple who teach coding for mp in the forums, if your interested, talk to them!
Into collecting? Collect the advent calender clothes items or buy the map instructions, the clothes will be worth a lot later next year!

In Shadow
(A petrarchan sonnet)
A SHADY TALE OF WISPERING WOE
THEY STAND AROUND A SILENT GHOST
WAITS AND WATCHES AN UNSUSPECTING HOST
STANDING, THEY THREE A FEARLESS FOE
EYES OF COAL GLEAM AN EERIE GLOW
A SACRED DEED THEY HAVE ENGROSSED
TILL THE DAWN THEY???RE AT A POST
DECEITFUL HEARTS WILLING FOR ONE TO TROW
NOW, AT LAST, THE BROKEN CHAIN
FREE TO ENSNARE A PASSERBY
THEY THREE AT TERROR???S MIGHTY REIN
QUICK, A SHARPENED BLADE TURNS THREE TO NONE
THEY THREE HOLD NO POWER, BUT A LIE
A WHISPER IN THE NIGHT, NOT ONE REMAIN ~Submitted by Nightfallmist
You were my best friend.
The best I ever had.
But one day, we had a fight.
I didn't think it'd be that bad.
You said I was selfish,
Obtuse and ignorant too.
Those words could not mend.
And our hatred only grew.
You began to avoid me.
And looked for a new best friend.
I was invisible to you.
I knew it was the end.
So there is our story.
Our friendship fell apart.
I had so much to say.
So much from my heart. ~Sent in by Ajypekanbe

When did you start drawing and why?
When I was around 3 or 4. My dad used to teach me how to draw things like houses and flowers. He also pushed me to do painting but I didn't stick with it.
Whats your favorite part about marapets?
Mara-related.. buying clothes for my doll.. or statting my pet Hizaki. As a whole though, I like posting my work in the graphics forum.
Whats your favorite forum?
I don't really have one. (Just because I post in gf a lot doesn't mean I like it) xD
Anything else?(:
I hate drawing on the computer since I don't have a tablet.

I would kinda wonder how the duck got in there... and why it would take my blanket, and HOW (since the blanket is probably a lot bigger than duck.. xD) Unless it was a giant duck. Then I'd freak =P

What if a duck came into your house and took your blanket? I would chase it until I captured it, then I would stick it in a box, wrap it, then stick it under my Christmas tree and write on the box Mom.

Nom nom nom! I'd go BAD DUCK and take it out of his mouth and go quack quack quack and see if that freaked him out enough so he'd go away.

I would capture that duck and hope it was really a swan that gave golden eggs.
