Hi, I'm Renni, founder of Special Delivery. Now, you may be asking, what's Special Delivery, and why is an article about it in this paper? Well, let me lay out a scene for you, which I know a lot of you, including myself, have gone through.

You are brand new to this place called Whyville, and you notice a lot of people with nice faces and you automatically want a face like that instead of this annoying smiley face. So you go to Grandma's, where you are supposed to get some face parts to make you look better, considering you have no money (apparently called clams) to buy face parts. When you get there, you click on face parts and after a while, a message pops up: "Sorry, I don't have any face parts right now. Please tell your friends to donate some..."

Now you are a bit worried, considering you have no current friends here, so you go back and click on face parts again, and you still get the same message. You try over and over, but STILL THE SAME MESSAGE!!!!!! Are you EVER going to get a face???

I know this has happened to a lot of people, including myself. Now I know, you'll say, go earn a salary, and I understand that you can do that, but it takes a while to earn enough to actually buy some nice things, and unfortunately, you're treated like dirt if you don't have a nice face, and it takes all the fun out of going to Whyville! So, my service, Special Delivery, has stepped in to stop this madness.

Basically, it's a helping hand service. Newbies only have to mail me and in seconds (ok, maybe minutes) they will get NICE hair, eyes, noses, & mouths and not to mention clothes that they can actually wear and look nice! Now, for a little Q&A I've prepared about Special Delivery:

Q: Do you charge anything for the faces?

A: No, This is a totally non-profit organization, so that basically means that I don't charge a thing for the clothes and things I give away. We're just like Grandma's, except we will always have stuff for you!

Q: How do you know that I'm a real newbie and not just someone who wants extra clothes and stuff?

A: Well first, I will say shame on anyone who does that, for that is a really cruel thing to do. Second of all, we do background checks via city records, to see how long you've been on, your face quality, and whether you have a plot. (Sorry, I'm not giving stuff to someone who has a plot in Old Town, has a great face, and has been on 900 times!)

Q: How do you come up with all this money and clams to give away?

A: Well, I have a LOT of old clothes that I never wear, plus a screen name I got from a friend that has 30 million things in it (not really 30 million, that's an exaggeration) and that helps with some stuff... but here's where I need your help. Some people in Whyville might have gotten this letter:

Hello! I'm starting a special service for newbies called Special Delivery. Basically, I'm going to make a service that lets newbies get good faces without waiting forever to get something from Grandma... I was wondering, is it possible that you could be a benefactor for this service? All you would have to do is send me all the things you don't really want and donations of clams and they will go in a "Special Delivery" fund. I know that this will make a lot of newbies happy, so think about it and Y-mail me with your decision ^_^ ~ Ren~

And for the people who have already contributed things, I thank each and every one of you! But that's definitely not enough. I need everyone to look through your things and see if you have any old things you don't want or don't need, and send them to me or my other screen name, Meriaa. Also I'd really like City Hall to see what she/he/they can do about contributing some things or clams to me to help this service contribute more things to newbies!

Q: How can I request things if I'm a newbie?

A: Y-mail either Meriaa or Renni (myself) with the things you need in the example format. Example:

From: Devin254623 (not a real person!!)
To: Renni

Dear Renni,
I need some things from the Special Delivery service please:

Sex: Female
Hair: any color, any size
Eyes: hot tropical eyes by WildKat
Nose: none
Mouth: none
Clothes: *~*Eggs and Bacon Dwess*~* if possible, I'll take anything really.
Accessories: none
Do you need clams (limit 80 clams): Can I have 40 clams please?

Devin

That's the form.

Q: Where can I contact the service to be a benefactor?

A: Again, Y-mail Renni if you want to be a benefactor.

Thanks for reading, and hope this answers your questions about Special Delivery!

This is Renni, signing off!
