I was doing a bit of internet sleuthing tonight, trying to summon forth the old MT website on the Internet Wayback Machine. It didn't work (darn it), so I started playing with Google...which led me to yet another defunct site. Grr!
I was intrigued however, so I fed that URL into the Wayback Machine, which transformed it into this: http://web.archive.org/web/20010304124039/http://aoh.freeservers.com/AoHNews.html
which in turn yielded this; a snapshot of the incredible community activity which was taking place on Sonoma back in September of 1999. The list of events is too lengthy to include in this post, but I would like to reprint a small portion for your nostalgic pleasure *grins*

3 vs 3 Tournament Results
Well, the first ever BD Tournament was completed tonight (sunday), and a great success. 6 teams entered the double elimination tournament. Throughout the 11 matches, the event was a great display of team skill among the contestants. Along with the contestants, there was a pretty decent sized crowd to view the event, along with a few councelers. The teams that competed, and the results of each fight are listed below.
Team BD 1: Maximus, Jove, Dragon X
Team BD 2: Ziggy, Kain Hellbane, Ardiendo
Team Luigi: Luigi, Goldur, Galdor
The 3 Lost Padres: Harlequin, of Destruction, Anton LaVey
The Krazie Pigs: Tiffany Co., Drake Sindar, Isabel
Team OGD: Gara, Meursault, Mordran
Matches, in order of occurance:
Team BD 2 d. Team OGD
Team Luigi d. The 3 Lost Padres
Team OGD d. The Krazie Pigs
Team Luigi d. Team BD 1
The 3 Lost Padres d. Team BD 2
The Krazie Pigs d. Team BD 1 (Team BD 1 eliminated)
Team Luigi d. Team OGD (Team OGD eliminated)
Team BD 2 d. The Krazie Pigs (The Krazie Pigs eliminated)
Team Luigi d. The 3 Padres (The 3 Padres eliminated)
Team BD 2 d. Team Luigi
Team BD 2 d. Team Luigi (Team Luigi eliminated)
So there you have, through 11 battles, and 3.5 hours, Team BD 2 was able to best Team Luigi to win the tournament, the event was a great display of team fighting talents, as the contests were often very close, and always very exciting. A few complications did occur that mixed up the teams during the fight however. Ardiendo (Team BD 2) had to leave the tournament and was replace by Madrid (agreed upon by the teams). Goldur was reported for a murder during the fight by accident, during one of the fights, and was resurrected with statloss. So after the first finals fight, when Team BD 2 d. Team Luigi, so for the final match, Goldur was replaced by Dakkon Artisan. Other than a few minor problems throughout the fight, it went pretty well, and i think (hope) everyone had fun. BD is considering possibly making this an event that occurs on a regular basis, perhaps once a month, or once every two weeks. Possibly mixing up the rules and/or the events each time, depending on what people want to do. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, feel free to post your ideas on the BD Tournament Discussion Board

Mining for John -- Get-Rich-Quick Program!
Tonight at 9pm, in Ironwood.
Many of you have heard of the various get-rich-quick schemes; but this one is different! This one really works! Just listen to some satisfied customers:
ANONYMOUS GM: "Being a GM can sure be tough sometimes, what with all the hard and long hours we have to put in. And sometimes, even WE run a little short on cash. Sure, I could just spawn some gold for myself, but the Mining for John program actually brings in the cash faster!"
LORD BRITISH: "Very little of my fortune was actually inherited. I earned it all: using the
principles discovered in the Mining for John program. How else do you think I could keep my guards so well-paid?"
ANONYMOUS PK: [face is blacked out and voice digitally blurred] "o.. should I talk now? k Umm... yeah, well u know how people say that pking is the fastest way 2 make money? it ain't anymore, Mining for John is. now i just pk because i like 2 screw with peoples' lives"

Oasis Fight Night 65 Announcement
Hail friends of Sonoma:
FN 64 was a great success. Many came to enjoy themselves. We had some problems with some undesireable players summoning outside of the arena causing lag to the competitors but that was quickly handled.
Overall FN was a good success and with my lack of regeants, Pepsi the Orc Helmed and Bone armored Healer ressed for us and was a great joy. Also we now have a smith to do repairs in our ring so FN can go smoothly and faster. Thank you to those who ran out of Oasis and FN in a hurry to go buy the forge and anvil deed and thanks to IGM Twilight for placing them.
FN 65 will be held this sunday September 12th at 5pm EST. Sign-ups are not required. As i am the only one and my mail is getting full just come to Oasis EARLY. If you come late you might not be permitted to participate, depending on my mood. So please come around 4:45pm EST if you can!

I was astounded and honored upon seeing so many people at my home last eve. I would like to express my gratitude one last time for showing up, and make a few comments. My condolences for the expressly poor food service, I should have put a feast on each table to begin with and let you choose from that, but it was an oversight. Forgive me. The communication crystals were meant to aid hearing when making announcements, but some have expressed annoyance regarding their use. I can think of no way around this. When one needs to be heard in a large event, that seems the only viable way. For the noise, also forgive me.

As a bonus, If any one citizen brings in one hundred hides or more they will receive a full suit of leather armour, currently valued over 300 gp. This set will include one leather tunic, leather cap, studded arms, studded leggings, studded gorget, and boots. As a warning, these animals may seem harmless, but in large groups they can me deadly. Orcs also frequent the area, probably in search of meat due to the overpopulation. Be sure that you arm thyselves.

Sonoma Horse Races
From Lord Myrkul:
My good friend ibn al'Asifa has asked me to send message to the press about his horse races. They take place at the race track just North West from the bridge leaving Britain (Follow the trail with the map until the track is in sight (On your left)). The races start at 9pm PST every Tuesday evening and are quite fun.
Last weeks winners were:
Neo of A*V won 10,000 gold coin but rolled the prize over, 15,000 gold this week!
Neo of A*V protected his honour as champion.
Lord Myrkul retained his coveted fancy shirt thanks to Harlequin.
What could happen this week? The only way to find out is to show up at 9pm PST. With gambling, commentary, and underhanded trickery. Anything can happen at the horse races!
This week we hope to have the best turn out ever. It is a great opportunity to put on your best clothes and socialize. The races are for a good cause also. Once ibn al'Asifa finds the fastest racer in the land, they will help him save his wife who was frozen by a rival tribe's shamen

My good friend ibn al'Asifa has asked me to send message to the press about his horse races. They take place at the race track just North West from the bridge leaving Britain (Follow the trail with the map until the track is in sight (On your left)). The races start at 9pm PST every Tuesday evening and are quite fun.
Last weeks winners were:
Neo of A*V won 10,000 gold coin but rolled the prize over, 15,000 gold this week!
Neo of A*V protected his honour as champion.
Lord Myrkul retained his coveted fancy shirt thanks to Harlequin.
What could happen this week? The only way to find out is to show up at 9pm PST. With gambling, commentary, and underhanded trickery. Anything can happen at the horse races!
This week we hope to have the best turn out ever. It is a great opportunity to put on your best clothes and socialize. The races are for a good cause also. Once ibn al'Asifa finds the fastest racer in the land, they will help him save his wife who was frozen by a rival tribe's shamen
