Xanadu

3/15/09
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 Kubla 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.

AirSoft

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.

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!

Slyfull

the_wordsmith
Xanadu's coolest member, with a speech craft skill of 74. Likes to talk shit regardless of who's in the room.

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;

Vulond
Vulond hates games. OK, now that the Grouchy Smurf reference is out of the way, Vulond is a regular to Xanadu. He started out on Kongregate on the now missing "Envy" channel. Has since migrated to Entropic Delirium (other places) and now Xanadu. He's usually pretty friendly and helpful. Usually makes small changes to his Kong profile at random intervals to reflect thoughts. No one checks it enough, though. Oh, I'm a watchdog now. Woof.
