I got a phone call from Jahiliya and Nyx last night.

They are doing quite well. A few years back (2 1/2 ish), they moved from Arizona to Illinois. Nyx obtained his PhD as well as additional certifications, and is working at a hospital in his primary field of study, Germs. We joked a bit that he was the Handwashing Ninja. Jahiliya is also doing quite well. They had some rather lovely personal news, so if you know them, and have their contact info, do try and get ahold of them. As I don't have their specific permission to relay it, you'll have to learn from them.

Nyx did ask that I reiterate that any of the stuff they wrote to help newbies, they are glad to have shared, and donate freely for the mud's use.
