====== Kremlin ====== ===== Recruitment ===== I was self-recruited. The NPL was having its annual convention in NY (I think), and there was an article about it in //Games// magazine. And I thought, hmmm...that'd be neat, and gave it no more thought. Then there was an article in one of the crossword magazines I did about it, and thought, hmmm...that'd be neat, and again, forgot about it. Then there was an article about it in the local paper (Newsday), and I figured three times was enough of a hint. But there was no information on how to join. So, I called up //Games// magazine and asked to speak to [[WILLz]]. And they put me through (really!!). And he gave me the info on how to join, and I've been a member ever since. //First Issue//: Sep 1983 ===== Recruits ===== [[Melifer]]. ===== Nom ===== As to my nom, it's pretty straightforward. A boggart is a kind of gremlin, so Bogart would be 'remlin', and K. Bogart is K. remlin. Of course, the first convention I go to, [[Alf]] comes up to me and says, "Hi, Kremlin, I'm Pentagon." As an interesting (subjectively,I know) aside, my original nom was "Growf the Dragon", a pseudonym I used to answer weekly puzzles in an Ithaca, NY paper when I was in college, originally derived from a drawing by Phil Foglio that I enjoyed copying. I had that nom for about two months before I thought of "Kremlin". ==== Other Notes ==== I went to school with Andrew Greenberg, a computer game designer. Just after I moved down to Tampa, there was a new member, recruited by [[Hudu]], named Andrew Greenberg, with the nom [[Werdna]] (which also happened to be the name of the bad guy in Andy's first game, Wizardry). And he lived in Tampa (a mile from where I settled, it turned out). So I wrote him a letter to see if he was the same A.G. from Cornell, and he was, and even though he didn't remember me from Adam at the time (he was a Teaching Assistant in one of my classes), he invited me over to meet his family, and we've been great friends ever since. In fact, I even convinced him to go to law school with me :D (but he was accepted before I was, and hence, has graduated, and gone on to become one heluva great intellectual property lawyer here in Tampa). ==== Combinoms ==== No data. ===== Offices ===== No data.
