Does this refer to my desc on goblins found at ftp://ftp.majik3d.org/open/hook/goblin.0.1.txt I would like to state that i used latin type nomenclature (naming structure) just to drive home the idea that there are different species of goblins and that goblins are a genus with many different species. I also made them related to bats. I was thinking that what if evolution took a turn and instead of apes becoming the dominant species that created man that bats, which are closely related to primates, were the premiere line that leads to conscious life . Of course with the advent of the new gods creating the races the goblin species lost their evolutionary path to greatness. Also if my goblin desc is unacceptable could you and others who have problems with the descs I write be more forthcoming and timely in your criticisms. This desc has been around for two months and i have already incorporated into two region descs. Having to alter them is a pain at such a late date. Joshua 'hook' Corning
