Let us all gather 'round and read from the Holy Book.

Today's reading comes from the Book of Dok, chapter 6, verses 42 thru 45:

It is ordained that upon leaving the unenlightened masses and placing your first scribed words at the Church of the Mech, the initiate will be allowed to select one of the two available markings to show that he (or she) is initiated into the faithful.

As you move along in life and reach the 750th step on the path to true enlightment, you may then change your mark to that of "graduate".

While this mark shows dedication to the way, you will not be evaluated by the number of steps, but rather the quality of the steps made.

And finally, after a long arduous journey, you will leave the wastelands and emerge a changed person, when you reach the inner circle of 1024, then you may select the image you wish for your avatar (as long as it is the right size, shape etc), proving your true worth to those who view your scribings.

Here is the word of Dok.

All this and more can be viewed and learned by clicking in the upper right series of buttons, marked FAQ.

To you my son, I urge you to read, lest you transgress and blaspheme and incur the wrath of the one we call Dok.
