[Freeciv-Dev] Blood's Music II

[Dee Jay Randall <randal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Ok. Now that we are doing away with "Blood's Music II", I thought,
"you know, where did that come from?" I don't recall hearing a good
explanation other than maybe it was some kind of inside joke of the
original authors.

  I did a search and found xpilot maps that were named Blood's Music
and Blood's Music II. The author listed for Blood's Music is:
"Patrick Kenny". Authors for Blood's Music II are "Blood, TIMID,
DR.DEATH" so that doesn't help much.

  If interested, you can view the maps at:
http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/home/caxd/xpilot/maplist.html
and http://www.sdsu.edu/~boyns/maps/

  I managed to email with Patrick Kenny. All he had to offer was:
> 
> My only guess is that the person who did the map for freeciv also played
> xpilot, and liked my map sooo much ... :)
> -pk
> 

  So that isn't very helpful either. Does anyone know the answer to
this? If we get a good or interesting or funny answer, perhaps an
entry could go in the FAQ. It might begin the creation of freeciv
lore, which, IMHO, is an important part of a number of games (xpilot,
netrek, etc).

  Later,
