Xanadu

3/20/09
Hey, it's been awhile. I've started linking the names to their Kongregate Profiles. Email me if you have an email or deviantART account or something resembling that. Or help me link the names to their profiles. Anything works. I've also started working on Prinny Land's Wikia for "TheyCallMeS," so I may be around a little less for right now. Thanks!

--Sincerely, Matt (mattmeister)

The first challenge, the Henry Hatsworth 2-in-1 Challenge, is up and running. Links can be found under the new section of Kongai, Cards, and Challenges. The Top Ten games has been reduced to the Top Five. I'm currently consolidating to prevent lag in the servers here. Pray it works :P Thanks! --Sincerely, Matt (mattmeister)

The Xanadu Wikia is now functional and features better information then before. Much more updating is expected before we can openly allow people to add things. Please advise me on your plans (preferably large edits) using the email address below. Provide your name, Kongregate user name, and what you intend to change. If it's adding a member to the member's list or creating a description of the list, you do not need to clear it with me. If I don't get back to you within 24 hours, make a judgment call on your own. Thank you! --Sincerely, Matt (mattmeister)

A History of Kongregate (and Xanadu)
Kongregate was created by Jim and Emily Greer in October of 2006 with the goal of bringing flash games to humanity everywhere. Today, their dream is becoming a reality, with over one million certified accounts and more than 12,000 games to choose from.

Xanadu, the Mongolian name of Kublai Khan's summer domain. Now remembered only as a chat room. Xanadu is one of the more elderly chat rooms, created by Jim Greer to stem the flow of users in other, more prominent chat rooms. Although Xanadu has taken a back seat position, their rise to power will soon become a realization. And as all you Rush or classic rock fans should know Xanadu is a fairly popular song on Rush's album A Farewell To Kings.

Rules and Regulations
The same rules in Kongregate also apply here, in the Xanadu Wikia.

RULES OF CONDUCT

Here in Xanadu, we strive to make your stay pleasurable and fun. If you have any suggestions about our page, please forward them to my email (mattmeister) here, at  one.final.chance@hotmail.com .

Must-Play-Games
Games that Xanadu Users have chosen as the best games currently offered on Kongregate.

1) Music Catch and Music Catch 2
While Music Catch 2 is a recent addition, it has achieved fame throughout Kongregate and is the most highly rated game of all-time. Music Catch utilizes a simple game-play, requiring you to catch the blue and yellow (multipliers) and avoid the red (de-multipliers.) It's precursor, Music Catch, was also a success, achieving "badge" status and being also highly rated. They can be played here at Kongregate: Music Catch and Music Catch 2.

2) Sonny and Sonny 2
Also on the Top 5 List of Kongregate's highest rated games, Sonny is a revolutionary game which utilizes an astounding storyline and easy-styled combat. In Sonny and Sonny 2, you play as Sonny, a cadaver who's been resurrected for some unknown reason. To find out more about these games, play them here at Kongregate: Sonny and Sonny 2.

Kongai, Cards, and Challenges

Badges
New Badges

Airsoft
AirSoft has been known round Xanadu for a short time, but has made a big explosion onto the scene, partly because he spends a lot of time on kongregate. Friendly and courteous to most, but can become hostile to any who make a foolish comment. He has declared a war on the recent uprise of bad grammar in Xanadu, and also hates the discussing of WoW and 4chan.

Victoria's sister, the newest addition of Xanadu.

kirayamamoto
Is awsome! Nuff said.

jacesxx
A friendly, helpful member of Xanadu, jacesxx's lifelong passion is to become a moderator. Pray he succeeds. He's also *cough* sexy *cough* loves everyone except you on the left, the exit is to the right. Jacesxx was a frequent member of Awesome Sauce Extreme until meeting the crazy stalker kaylia56.

mattmeister
50% adult, 50% child, mattmeister is your normal pubescent teenager prone to telling sexual jokes, or reciting obscure passages of books. Highly intelligent with an immense vocabulary, mattmeister enjoys long walks on the beach, quelling arguments, and generally merry-making, occasionally involving alcohol. Currently in the brainstorming stages of a collaboration with Ukos on a short story. Help is appreciated if you think of any particularly good ideas.

PetiteFromage
PetiteFromage, Petite, Fromage, Alex, Alexandra, Small Cheese, Little Cheese, or just plain Cheese, has recently come back to Kongregate after being lured in by the Zanetti Parmigiano Reggiano, or the "King of Cheese." (Source: Cheese.com) She hates it when people mistake her for a guy, and dislikes spammers. She hates sports, but prefers to be online...A lot. She loves being on Xanadu, and can't remember how long she's been on this particular channel. She usually "plays" games while others are making stupid comments or cussing each other out like n00bs. She also usually acts her shoe size, not her age.

ridkidjory
Member of Xanadu since his first day on Kong, Jory enjoys sharing music with people in Xanadu and apparently has awesome taste in music. He also remembers the days before Xanadu had a mod but its all good because Ukos is cool as far as mods go.

SaintK
A fairly new face on Kongregate, in his first few weeks on Kongregate, he quickly managed to establish a name for himself in Xanadu with his quick-thinking sense of humor and intelligent quips. In the past few days he has also become semi-famous around Xanadu for his YouTube videos of himself playing piano and singing. He has hinted at work on an album of his own music, although whether this is true has not been confirmed by SaintK himself. His YouTube channel can be found here. If he will continue to stay a notable member of Xanadu is unknown. He can be found on Xanadu during most of the day.

SemraNK
Cool young lady and frequenter of Xanadu. She's almost on as much as Vict0ria. Almost. Thinks two particular people sound like "sexy beasts", but I just put that there so she'd know who typed this. Har har! Oh.. and she's friendly! (Except to SaintK!)

Slyfull
Xanadu's oldest inhabitant, at the age of 74. Is really a drug cartel, and a pimp when short on cash. Usually mistaken for a male, although she does little to change this stereotype by hitting on everything that moves. Also, she is sick and tired of those damned immature trolling kids, and wishes they would die a painful death. Or get off her lawn, at the very least.

the_wordsmith
Xanadu's coolest member, with a speech craft skill of 103. Likes to talk shit regardless of who's in the room.

Ukos
Ukos, an intelligent, caring, peaceful moderator, affectionately labeled "The God Mod" by mattmeister. Enjoys writing and flash games. Vulond says that the "M" next to his name is for Monkey.

urworstfight
The raving pretty okay guy that is pretty random at times

Vict0ria
Vict0ria, the Queen of Diamonds, can be seen in Xanadu almost daily. She is well known for feeding the trolls and avoiding the filter. Recently learned some new ASCII codes and hasn't stopped using them. &#9825;

http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss119/Vulond/Felixbag.jpg
Vulond carries a magic bag, which he most commonly pulls 'A_Sign' out of. He likes to play with the metaphorical matches on a regular basis. By the time he tries to get out the metaphorical fire extinguisher it is often too late. He started out on Kongregate on the now missing "Envy" channel. He has since migrated to Entropic Delirium (other places) and now Xanadu. He's usually pretty friendly and helpful to others. He often makes small changes to his Kong profile at random intervals to reflect thoughts. No one checks it enough, though.

Depleted_Uranium
Dep, depleted or uranium corrects people like there is no tomorrow.Dep had no life until he met kongregate in a shady chat room now he spends every waking hour on kongregate (not really he some times goes on for a few days in a row).His e-mail is 4534DU235@gmail.com feel free to say hi just do not do it too often.Also he hates people who posts easy badges in chat.

P.S. He has a stalker.

googoolyeye
Noisy intruder. :o Goo is.....Goo. Self-proclaimed leader of Xanadu, though not a mod(yet), Goo is notorious for his liberation of Xanada....from Goo. :O
