Wednesday, December 13, 2000 Hello all! Well it sure didn't take long before I got a response back from the good 'ol boys at Vivid Video asking me "Please, Please!! don't post a picture of Raylene on your site". Guess those guys do read their E-mails (Gotta have something to do in between filming Porn I suppose). Well they gave me the Big Thumbs Down for Raylene, "We get many requests to use her likeness and if we allowed you to use it, then we would have to let everyone use it". Very good Inuit thinking there, but if the good guys at Vivid would care to look around the world wide web here.... EVERYONE IS ALREADY USING YOUR PICTURES!!!! I just have the common courtesy to ask for your permission first. Oh well, Fair Enough! I won't post any pictures of Raylene, Janine, or whoever else you guys got to do your skin films. See if I ever rent a Vivid movie ever again too... :) Don't I just get testy when I don't get my way??? What's the harm everyone??? It's just a RPG site. I'm not gonna make a fortune posting one non-nude pic here. So I'll just write back to Raylene and see if there's any way that she can help me. She seems like a very nice and polite lady, so we'll have to see how it all goes. The Realms have a new banner!! Actually we have MANY new banners!!! You all can download it and post it to your website to help support me. Here's the link to the banner page: www.angelfire.com/nt/valkyrja/banners.html Pretty neat huh!! :) I was making one for my business website and decided to make one for the realms, then I just kept on going and before I knew it, I had 6 made. I'll be E-mailing it to all the ring members after I go and do some errands today. And the last piece of news is the recent piece of artwork that myself and The Realms has acquired, a print of the painting "Choosers of the Slain". It's a big portrait of Valkyries in the battlefield. This reflects my Norse Mythology Religion and will be displaying it prominently in my room for all to see.
Alrighty all, that's about all the new news that I have right now, Tune in later for more!!
The Up-to-date news on Mission: Permission;
So that's the scoop so far. If you are someone who owns rights to models, or are a model and would like to contribute something to a bunch of guys who run a gaming club, just write to me and tell me how you can help. valkyrja@angelfire.com
Sunday, December 10, 2000 Howdy all! Not too much happening here, just sending out the permission E-mails for mission: Permission, now with a new twist, Today's E-mails that I sent basically said that if you don't reply to my E-mails, that they are giving me full permission to use their pics. A great new twist given to me by my fellow Administrators of the Web Ring! Thanks Guys!! I talked to Karine on Friday and she says she is close to finishing the picture of Trin, which is great news. Well the Realms will be closed for the Christmas season, I need the break for 3 weeks, and we'll be resuming on January 6, 2001. Do tune in here after Jan 1st, 2001 for special highlights from the Administrator's conference where we'll be tackling very important issues.
Monday, November 27, 2000 Hello everyone, well this is already starting to become a busy week! Let me tell you why:
And of course, the results so far for Mission Permission, entering it's third week now! :)
Wednesday, November 22, 2000 Alrighty, just updated a few pages due to the activity here at the Realms. Received a reply from the beautiful Echo Johnson, read more on the "Mission Permission" table below (Above).
Thursday, November 16, 2000 Whew! Boy have I been busy!!! I took it after last weekend to go after the big guys! No I'm not declaring war on anyone, I'm just doing my e-mail harassment to get permission on the pictures that I use on my website. For along time I've been using pictures on here that I didn't ask for permission for. I've been getting away with it because the Realms isn't a big site and doesn't get noticed half the time, for now. I've been reviewing the stats for the Realms and seen that the his here is Growing!! We're about 40 hits a day, and we passed 3000 total hits a while ago. That's mighty good in my books. So I thought it was about time to get some permissions going before I get sued, or the realms gets shut down when someone big does check it out and see the copyright infringement. There's alot of pictures that I use, because being human, we like pictures and being male (Worse yet, French Canadian!) I especially love great looking women, and I have alot on here, which means alot of E-mails that I have to send out. Keep checking in the news, I'll be posting updates to the "Crusade" on my permission mission.
Friday, November 03, 2000 Big Update! I changed and fixed up many areas of the realms, especially the Villains and Espionage areas. Go and check 'em out. Project Soundscape: Many of you (I hope! :) have probably noticed that there's a spinning CD icon on the main page, and this is what it's about. I'm currently in the works of making a soundtrack score CD for gaming. There are alot of real good music tracks that are gonna be on the CD. There's gonna be a Soundtrack for each of the main genres of games that I run; DWJ, Espionage, Villains and Modular. If you would like to get a CD, just let me know. It's FREE!! (you just need to cover the shipping and handling). I'll be posting a music listing for the soundtracks so you know what we groove to.
Saturday, October 14, 2000 Well the creative bug is in my butt tonight. I changed around the general look of things, and added a new feature to the site, the QUICKLINKS is now a link to the Jump Station, a central plexus of all the pages on the Realms. Want to quickly get to a page, just hit the QL button at the top left of every webpage! That's it. I'm going to bed now. :)
Friday, October 13, 2000 Spent some time updating a few pages on the site on this glorious Fleyja's day. Updated the Links pages and added more members of the honorable TSSI WebRing, and changed things around a whole bit, new background. I also updated the Credits and Inspirations page to the new, uniformed look. Well that's about all, more to come, more to come.
Thursday, October 5, 2000 Time for an update? I think so! I've been very busy working on getting ready to get into business for myself here. I cleaned out my garage (which was used as a storage facility for the last 20 years!), but now it's almost ready. I've enrolled into a schooling course sponsored by the government on how to start and run and manage a business. So things are coming along just fine. Now that doesn't mean that I've been ignoring Top Secret S.I. I still Administrate the DWJ on Saturday nights and even fit in Espionage on Tuesday evenings. So things there are working out pretty good too. And there's two BIG announcements for the realms!
Pretty big news alone, especially around the round table where everyone was excited! "That is really awesome! " Chris Lee, longtime player at the table was heard to say. It really does mean alot to us here at the Realms, because I've contacted Playboy, Penthouse and others to get permission to use non nude images that we use anyways on the website to represent the NPC's and characters of the games, and they all told me where to go, and how to get there. It really doesn't help us out when we don't get any support, which is why it's so great that Natasha gave us permission and a big thumbs up for the Realms, and for that, she's gonna get high praise and a loyal following from all of us here! Thank you again Natasha!!
Now for #2, Bishop, Chris and I just went to the comic and toy fair at the Alberta aviation museum, where I ran into Ethan Peacock. He recognized us right away, so we talked to him for a while and I got 2 more authentic drawings!! I keep bugging him to get a web site so that I can promote his work on the Realms, but I guess he's busy with a bunch of other projects, so until I get a Website URL from him, I'll just post his contact information in a separate page I'll create for him. Once again, his mastery comes alive in the picture of the Demoness which I got him to make for me, this picture is absolutely perfect as I envision her. Ethan's art is just unbelievable, and if you want a sketch, I suggest you get into contact with him, just tell him that I referred you (maybe he'll do a free sketch for me or something :)
That's it for now, come back often to keep up with the news.
Saturday, August 26, 2000 Been busy for the last 2 weeks. I've QUIT my job on July 24th, 2000 for assorted reasons which I won't go into right now, so I've been looking into either going back to school or going into business for myself. As it turns out, I'll be doing both. Yours truly will be taking a course into self employment and small business and will one day be working out of my garage and basement with my own company. Great news! So what does that mean for this site, nothing much, business as usual, I'll still update when I can and of course, the gaming will continue. Spent some time on the Modular pages, not much though because fellow Administrator of the round table, Chris Lee should be looking after it (it is his series). But go there and you'll get pretty much what's going on with the series.
Alright, I'm sure my E-mail is gonna get clogged by Americans sending me hate E-mails, so I'll move on. Well nothing else to report, tomorrow is Saturday and I'm getting all geared up for the DWJ. That's about it. My friend leant me a shockwave creation CD, so I'm going to fool around with it in the next couple of weeks and I'm gonna see what I can do with the site with it. So tune in and don't miss out!
Friday, August 11, 2000 I spent the whole day updating a bunch of pages on my site, all clearly marked on the homepage, I rearranged some things, added tables, changed backgrounds. In in the effort to complete this site. Will continue to update as the days go on by, so check them out!
Wednesday, August 09, 2000 Updated the main index page to include the new link for Valkyrie, my new site that will be a resource for G4 equipment. The site is called G4 International Division and I'll be working on it as time permits, but should be done soon.
Monday, August 07, 2000
Monday, July 17, 2000 Well I've been busy, just not on the website! :) Took a vacation from work and just relaxing in the Canadian summer here (gotta enjoy it fast before settling back into our igloos for the winter). Got introduced to a free web based stats service here on the web, and it gives me alot of good nifty information. I'm able to check out who visit my pages, where they came from, what operating system, what resolution and what browsers so I can customize my pages for 'em. Really good system, it's called Stats4all.com. With it I was able to determine that Espionage is the page everyone's visiting, second is the Villains page for the DWJ. So needless to say that I spent all of my Sunday working on the espionage page. I've typed out the entire Orion Foundation write up that you would find in the administrator's guide. That took me a while, I'm a slow typist. Since everyone comes to my mainpage
first on their journey to the realms, I've decided to put in a
"new" button (looks like this
Tuesday, June 27, 2000 Hello again! Been awhile, but I've been busy. Let's see this update, I've spruced up the Villains area with some banners. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it does take awhile to do them little things. I'll be adding more into the Villains area as time goes on as I'm building up on alot of material and ideas for that series. The Department of World Justice has reached Mission #100!!! The heroes have awakened as little kids in a VR gaming area called Top Secret S.I. and are told that the "Game" is over. The children are bewildered and upset and confused, as they still think that they are the superheroes Shadow, Trin, Snake Eyes and Goldberg. Now they are out in the "real" world and have to make sense of it all. I've received word from Karine (a.k.a. Kanthara, the artist that is drawing Trin) that she's near completion of the pic! She just need to color it in, as the finial adjustments and inking have been done. I myself can't wait! But you can't rush artists if you want it done right. There will be a big blurb on the new pic when I get it! That's all for now, tune in as I'll be spending more time on the page in the next few weeks.
Sunday, January 30, 2000 Updated the Espionage Orion Special Weapons Field Report page, put alot of new gadgets and gear that no Orion agent should be without. Posted the picture of Yin, the villainous assassin which combats the DWJ.
Tuesday, January 25, 2000 Done alot of updating! Started working on the Espionage pages, added a few more links to that area as well, check out what Orion has in mind for the agents of the new millennium.
Sunday, January 23, 2000 Lots of updates! I updated the Main page, gave it a new look for the new year. I also updated the DWJ NPC page, put some new pics in there for Magnesium and Jhessil. Updated the DWJ Villains page with pics of some of the bad guys and gals. Updated the DWJ Neutrals and Vigilantes page with, you got it! Pics! Put the preliminary pic and a link to Kanthara's Picture Designs in the DWJ NPC page of Trin. We took a vote and made Gold, Black, and Red the official colors of The Realms of the Imagination. This is after Bishop had gaming shirts created for us all. I hope to borrow the Mobilon from work and get some sharp pics of us all wearing them, and with the new sign by Chris. We'll have to wait until Tony gets back from L.A. (Miserable bum goes there and leaves us hanging around here in -30 weather...)
Sunday, January 16, 2000 Well happy new year and welcome to the new Millennium everyone. This is my first post into the (new) news page and update to my webpage (and it's the 16th already? Took me that long to recuperate from the new year's party! :) I have been busy at work, so updates won't be regular, but I'll be working on it as time permits. I've taken this evening to work out a few new things for the pages, and here's what I did: Updated the Department of World Justice's NPC Page with pictures of Averil Cavilier and Zanthia. Definitely check them out, I altered the pic of Zanthia to show her "glowing" eyes. New format for the News page, I thought it was time for a change for the new Millennium. Other things around the games table, Bishop got us all shirts! We now are sporting black shirts with our designation or character name on the front. The shirts are black with red lettering, real sharp! We had our second Administrator's meeting where some important developments have happened. Chris Lee has been given an extension on his Modular Series, he has until the year 2001 to start administrating or it's gone, same with Bishop and his Colonial series, it as well has until the year 2001 to get off the ground. Star Wars has been closed and incorporated into the DWJ series, so expect more spaceships, aliens and futuristic storylines in the DWJ series to come. Well I'm gonna be off here, gonna check out the rest of the TSSI sites and see if anything has changed with them. Take call all!
