The first IMAGE FaburnRUN was a mild success – A total of 24 runners (Only 7 of them IMAGE members) left Vadda 30 mins late – but they all took off at the same time.
Early reports of large groups of PK’s waiting on Wisent hill came out to be true and hilarious. Just before the race we told the contestants to run in a large west arch, and hug the mountain, towards Maduli before heading to Fabernum would likely be the best bet – The winners of our contest heeded this advice, I’m fairly sure the ones who went Towards the Colored forest were slaughtered, their names will be… Wait, who was that?
Many of the runners had no protection and ran in Rags – however there were a few brave souls who went in armor – We don’t know what happened – Hopefully someone frapsed it.
Now for the moment you have all been waiting for!

Nika 1st Place – 14mins 37 Seconds – Winner Paid: 6gold

What is the IMAGE FaburnRUN?
The IMAGE Faburnrun is a footrace from the front gates of Vadda to the Front door of Faburnum. All contestants will gather in Vadda and wait for the Starting /YELL at 9pm EST (GMT -4)
The winners are determined by the first 3 runners who make it to Faburnum and say “IMAGE” within local range of the very inside of the front door – A screen shot will be taken – These names will then be checked against everyone who checked in at Vadda before the race by saying IMAGE – when check in is called for just before the starting /YELL. Time will be recorded for the top 3 using an iPhone stopwatch app – and posted with the winners names.
Are there any Rules?
Horses are not allowed for contestants (we know the average time on foot, and if you are well above that you will be disqualified – in the case of a disqualification you will not be refunded and you and your guild will be barred from future IMAGE events.
(Coming soon: Look for IMAGE Fight Night, nightly gambling events outside Faburnum)
PKing is allowed (as it really can’t be stopped) during the race so bring your guild to take out the competition and/or offer protection – Run at your own risk.

Will be the crappiest weapons we use in Mortal after today don’t it feel good?
The servers still pretty crashy, and some pretty annoying loot/inventory/bank bugs kept day two progress to a minimum. The biggest news of the day was the absurd increase in skill book prices – so everyone who didn’t buy on day 1 is SOL.
But it seems to be all coming together for IMAGE. Crafters have been leveling, skills have been going up all around, and a new lush farm spot has been discovered and moved in on. Gold is no longer an issue.
Depending on server stability on day 3 IMAGE is poised to be ahead of everyone in armor/weapons/houses – Most of day 2 was spent gathering rocks – and lots of them. With depleatable nodes still not in now is the time to take advantage and stockpile.
With over 500k stone tomorrow looks pretty sweet for our refiners and weapons and armor crafters.
Mortal Online opened the doors to the world of Nave at approximately 9am MST, June 9th 2010.
The servers were stable throughout the morning until the population on the server increased and we experienced hourly server crashes. Thankfully the servers were only down for about fifteen minutes at a time – just enough time to get up, stretch the legs, and refill the goblets. Overall, release day for IMAGE turned out to be a success, with many members coming out of the woodwork to bolster the ranks – alongside some new recruits – to complete the majority of our release day goals.
So if you have not already done so, get in vent, patch up, and come enjoy the world of Nave with us.

With Mortal launching OMG TOMORROW!!! New recruits are hitting our board as expected. We got 3 last night, 2 were given access 1 was turned away.
It’s hard to become a part of IMAGE – you have to not suck at life and not be a cheater… I know, I know – This is a fairly high standard. We are all gamers after all.
When it comes down to becoming a part of IMAGE it is not about how leet your skillz are. It is not about how much money you can donate to the clan to keep vent going or to keep this awesome main page updated (seriously, how awesome is this clan site?). Being a part of IMAGE is about fitting in with the group.
One of the best parts is being able to hop on vent and be talking with a group of real friends. If we all lived in the same area we could all hang out and get a beer – and it would be fun. IMAGE is first and foremost a community of friends.
There is no real drama here (but you have to be able to dish out and take a joke and likewise criticism). There are no real ranks (other than forum/vent privileges). While we like to think we are fairly competent gamers – even if you suck at games, as long as you fit in with the group, you can be a part of IMAGE. We will help you get better (of course if you are hopeless and show no improvement or potential, people will end up not liking you and you won’t fit in).
Get in vent, say hi, and join the conversation – If you don’t talk no one will know you and you will end up not enjoying your time with us.
Thanks,
-Asmo
Yup – totally redesigned site – now with 100% more looking like the forums. For our next trick watch for wordpress and phpbb3 integration!

Now with relative sense of immediacy!
Also, new post on imageclan.us! If you are reading this right now, you knew that!
Two new announcements in announcement section on forums!
Exclamation marks!!!
Dramatic imagery!
What you need
- 7 egg yolks
- 2.5, 3 cups of milk
- 4, 5 whole cloves
- About a tablespoon of ground cinnamon
- 2ish splashes of vanilla extract little more is good
- 5ish dashes of nutmeg
- 1.5ish cups of sugar
- Half a half carton of Half and Half
- Half a half carton of heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Put the milk, cloves, cinnamon, and 1 splash of vanilla on low heat and bring to a boil very slowly
Whilst that is going on take the yolks and the sugar and whisk together really good.
Once your milk boils – take it off the heat until it stops boiling, and add very slowly to your yolk/sugar combo – this will cook your yolks but not get hard and gross
let that sit out and cool for about an hour – then add your half-n-half, nutmeg and the second splash of vanilla and whisk it around really good – Also take out the cloves, they should be floating on the top
Put that in your fridge until it’s cold – couple hours/overnight whatever.
When it’s cold dump in your heavy whipping cream and mix it around a whole lot
Enjoy as is or add a light rum like Bicardi Superior or some other clear rum
Happy Christmas all.
What to do with 7 eggwhites?
Asmo’s Super Secret Chocolate Moose:
What you need:
- 1/3rd cup strong coffee
- little more than about 1/2 a bag of your favorite chocolate chips
- 8 Egg whites
- 1 egg yolk
Directions
Over low heat melt chocolate with the coffee and add the yolk and mix around until smooth
With elecrtic mixer take your 8 whites and beat until you have stiff peaks
GENTLY fold 1/2 of the whites into the chocolate
VERY SLOWLY add this new mix and GENTLY fold into other whites
Pour directly into serving dishes (I like small wine glasses) and chill
Serve as soon as it’s cold – If you want to store for 4+hours put plastic wrap directly on the stuff, elsewise it kind of gets runny and gross… I think you can freeze it too, but I never have any left to try.
