You are a Death Knight!
Now that you've grown up, you have decided to study the ways of the Death Knights. All beginners want the power to use their body and weapon as one. To inflict twice the damage with the finesse only a warrior of perfect mind can do.
With the power of your Rage, you can increase your strength and defense by 8 points. Since this is all you know what to do, you will automatically use this class ability every day.
Your killing prowess also allows you to fight tougher enemies, gaining you experience faster than other warriors.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You wake up early, strap your Stick to your back, and head out to the Town Square, seeking adventure, fame, and honor.

You are a Mystic!
You have always wanted to explain the unexplainable. To understand the powerful forces that rule the earth. To tame the beast that oversees all things. Of course, having the power to burn someone by making a gesture wouldn't hurt.
Through training under the elder Mystic, you have control over three powerful spells. Disappear increases your defense by 12 points. Heat Wave increases your attack by 12 points. Shatter increases your ability to support someone in their fight against the Red Dragon by 4 points. Though you have control over all three spells, you may only activate one spell's effects each day.

You are a Thief!
You decide to follow your instincts. To get better at what you've always done best. So you decide to lead a dishonest lifestyle. Of course, your ultimate goal will always be to join the Master Thieves Guild. To arrive, remember one thing, "Even thieves have honor."
You have the ability to steal gems held by other players. But you can't be too greedy - you may only make an attempt on one person each day, and you will not steal any equipment they have. If the player you target holds a gem, you will steal it for your own uses.
If you are in possession of a gem, you may also earn extra experience by presenting one to the Thieves Guild. This is a special Town Action only available to Thieves. Every gem you present is worth enough experience to advance you about half a level.

You are a Griefer!
Back in the old (old) days, life on the BBS was good. Information and intelligent discussion was only a keystroke away. But now there's all these kids on the network, wasting the server resources. Seems that all they want to do is play games and make inane chatter. If only that darned Phalla of the Red Dragon was out of the way, things would go back to how they were. It is clear what needs to be done.
You and your fellow old hands want to see Phalla of the Red Dragon removed from the door list to weed out the newbies that have sprung up. As a group, you may harass one player of your choice to abandon their account, and thus, the game. Through your efforts, your goal is to make sure that the playerbase does not succeed in defeating the Red Dragon within the Sysop's stated time limit of ten days, thus ensuring the removal of the game and a return to normalcy on the BBS.
Harassing a player is a group action and will not interfere with your regular game actions. Only the last order received by a group member will be counted - please coordinate amongst yourselves.

You are a Hacker!
With the reset and modifications to the Phalla of the Red Dragon code, this seems to be the perfect opportunity for you to bring down the BBS. Not because the Sysop is a dick, or because you hate the game, but because it can be done. Surely, there will be holes for exploits available for you to take advantage of... one way or another, you will find flaws in the system to make the entire BBS come crashing down.
Your group has the ability to analyze and corrupt sessions in the game -- this will form the gateway to creating an exploit to access the rest of the BBS's system structures to destroy it irreparably. But you need to find the right methods, so you need to destroy a few accounts in the process of analyzing the various streams. Every day you may hijack up to two player sessions from the game. Hijacking these sessions will yield data streams that you can analyze for holes to exploit, and the player tied to the session will be corrupted and deleted upon midnight maintenance. Can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Once your team has analyzed all the streams of interest (the list will be posted on the proboards) you'll be ready to crash the game and assault the BBS. Oh, so long as that pesky IGM Coder is dispatched first, that is.
Deleting player accounts is a group action and will not interfere with your regular game actions. Only the last order received by a group member will be counted - please coordinate amongst yourselves.

You are a PORD Player!
Ten days to build up from scratch and defeat the Red Dragon? The Sysop may have a great BBS, but he's just as equally an asshole. PORD is such a great game, and you can't let the Sysop replace it with something that is sure to be a miserable failure. Seems that there's nothing you can do now but take advantage of the mechanic tweaks to aggressively build up yourself to face the dreaded Red Dragon. If someone out there can defeat the Red Dragon, then that will show the community's dedication to the game - there's nothing that the Sysop will be able to do when faced with that kind of reality.

You are a Charmer!
The Sysop wants to take down Phalla of the Red Dragon? Without PORD, how are you going to get your roleplaying fix? The BBS people don't seem to tolerate such behavior, and you're sure that the Sysop's new game won't have anything in terms of social interactions. So it's time for one last hurrah - time to go seek out <Violet/Seth Able> and marry them for what could be the last time. You've got only ten days to do it, but with your charm, you should be able to pull it off!
Your objective this game is to accumulate enough Charm (10 points) to woo the NPC of your in-game desires, <Violet/Seth Able>, and marry them before time is up on the game. Gain Charm from choosing the appropriate actions in interacting with them, then when the time is right, propose! You will earn your own personal victory by successfully marrying <Violet/Seth Able>.

You are a CoSysop!
As a CoSysop, your job is ostensibly to help manage the BBS system. Keep it clean of viruses and exploits, restrict or remove those abusing the freedom of the network. Also, making sure that people stay sane under the Sysop's iron rule. Clearly, the Sysop has gone too far in this case, threatening to take down one of the most popular attractions to the BBS. Its loss could bring chaos to the BBS that the Sysop doesn't seem to realize. While you can't exactly stand directly toe to toe with him (you like your powers...), you can still help out in your own ways to make sure that nobody interferes with the game's progress. Be on the look out for those who would try to harass the players who truly wish to play the game.
Your CoSysop privileges extend to Phalla of the Red Dragon in surprising ways. The ability to inspect other players' messages is not normally available to you, but with the modifications the Sysop has done, you've obtained the limited ability to see what other players are doing. Every day, you may look at a player's message activity to see if they have been up to unscrupulous behavior. This unfortunately does not help you find co-conspirators in the case of evidence of griefing, but having some ability is better than none. You've pledged to limit your use of these newfound powers - can't let the Sysop catch on and remove all your power on the BBS.
Checking player activity is a special action that will not interfere with your regular game actions.

Having been around computers for a while, you've picked up a few skills in cracking code, accessing things not normally seen by others. You have honor about your methods, and they'll be put to good use to prevent other hackers from breaking down the game, and potentially the entire BBS. Every day, you may use your skills to monitor one player's activity for suspicious activity, learning if they are playing within the game's rules or doing something more suspicious. You can't check everyone at once - you can't let yourself abuse power and get caught.
Checking player activity is a special action that will not interfere with your regular game actions.

You are an IGM Coder!
Your work on optional modules for Phalla of the Red Dragon have earned the respect and adoration of players all about the BBS. And now the Sysop wants to remove the entire game in favor of something that he created all on his own, excising all the wonderful contact that you've built up for the community? Such an injustice cannot stand! Work with your fellow players to defeat the Red Dragon within the ten-day time limit and show that Sysop what the community really wants.
Fortunately, you still have the power to modify some of the (already-modified) code on the system to help your fellow players out. Every night, you may create a miniature module dedicated to a single player. The module can have one of two effects. One effect is to isolate and 'hide' an account so that it is protected from attempts to delete or harrass the player. A second effect a module may have is to corrupt the player's account code such that it is irreparably damaged and thus deleted. You may choose the effect the module will have and the player that is affected - but you cannot attempt to delete accounts two days in a row. Such activity would certainly cause suspicion to be brought upon you and your powers removed.
Implementing your modules is a special action that will not interfere with your regular game actions.

You and your roommate are both avid players of the game and are absolutely sure of each others' dedication to defeating the Red Dragon. Work together to achieve that goal!

You are also in current ownership of a Horse. For your Forest Action, you may instead of a random outcome visit the Dark Cloak Tavern instead. What awaits you there? Who knows...
To ride your horse, be sure to explicitly mention it in your daily actions.
