Because often spammers target a list of 3-5 groups that are consecutive in what
their server gets: apparantly this guy goes straight from Stars to Ultima
Dragons to Quake, possibly meaning he has a bad news server that he's missing so
many groups.

Sorry, I was trying to make a fun stating the obvious. <:) I never saw
the spam, though I could guess from the subject it started that way
(especially the ". 7749" part ::)) (BTW, that smilie indicates 'high on
caffeine' - if that would explain anything, not that I think it would
;;)).

Well, assuming it's the same sort of Ultima that's an RPG, we mostly probably
know what it is.
What exactly is a Dragon, though? :)

Well it's a fearsome beast that prefers the knights crunchy and with
ketchup. Unless it's vegetarian. Or not hungry. Or something.
Oh, you mean an Ultima Dragon?
Basically, the same thing...
Now, the interesting question is, why are we called Dragons?
From what I've been taught in Dragon school, it goes back to the very
beginning of the Ultima fan club which was based around the Prodigy BBS
system.
I'm not sure if there were other groups, but at least one of them called
themselves "Players of Ultima For Fun", or PUFF. Then somebody tried to
be mean and compared them to Puff the Magic Dragon.
I guess the "Dragon" part somehow got stuck :)

Depends on the model. Your western European model was typically a
hexapedal (when you include the wings) reptile of enormous size
with noxious breath, scales as good as the best mail-plate, claws,
teeth, with an often nasty temperment, a prediliction to hoard
valuables, a psychology not unlike a mouser cat and a weakness for
maidens true.
Your scandinavian model was a wingless fellow, frequently called a
linnorm, iirc. Nasty little buggers that didn't fly, but didn't
need to.
I could go on but I expect you meant "What exactly is an Ultima
Dragon?"

This is frightening; I was only reading about this part of the

Like I've said, www.crisium.com/stars has a demo up. It may be a little
difficult to find a copy to purchase, but it looks like the publisher, Empire
(www.empire.co.uk, IIRC) is actually selling 'em. If you want to buy a copy and
have any sort of trouble finding one, ask around here (rgcs).

Oh, yes, the ones with a serpentine manner, feathered whiskers and
pearls in their brains that provide them an innate flying
ability.

Of which my Dragon persona is one. Hence the insistence on its
inclusion. ;)
