0. Introduction
Welcome to the "Guide to the worlds of Aglami and the Monkey Island
FAQ", ie: the alt.games.lucas-arts.monkey-island FAQ. This document
is posted roughly at the beginning and around the 15th of each month
on alt.games.lucas-arts.monkey-island, for 'newbies' to the group to
read. This is the about eight revision of the document. (for previous
versions have a look at section 5 in this guide). As new games appear,
or people suggest improvements, or I see a need to add new guidelines
or questions to the FAQ, it will be updated (in reality this also
means whenever we remember!). Please, take note of the guidelines and
have fun on the strange island that we call Aglami!

==================================================
1. alt.games.lucas.arts.monkey-island
Welcome! This is a newsgroup for fans of the popular Monkey Island
series from Lucas Arts, and anyone who enjoys these games can post
here. (Actually, we welcome posts from anybody, providing they stick
to the rules and have an open mind. ervaqre keeps eating the slower
newbies.) This group was created in February 1998 along with a bunch
of other alt.games.lucas-arts groups and we are one of the last ones
standing. These days we are a sort of relatively calm newsgroup,
but with the occasional outburst of posts (80-100 posts a day). The
main language of the group is English, so please, if possible, post
in this language. Beside English most (european) languages are
supported (eg. Dutch, German, Danish, etc.).
1.a. Getting started...
To read and post to a newsgroup you need some sort of newsreader. This
can be a web-based thing such as GoogleGroups, or a home-based program
like Agent, Gravity or Thunderbird (or, though discouraged, Outlook
Express). You need to set your newsreader to a newsserver and then
subscribe to the newsgroup. You can then post (send a message) at
will.
GoogleGroups: http://groups.google.com
Agent: www.forteinc.com
Gravity: http://lightning.prohosting.com/~tbates/gravity
Thunderbird: www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird
A good Newsserver: news.individual.net (apply at www.individual.net first)
A note on Outlook Express: www.okinfoweb.com/moe/bugs/bugs_047.htm
and http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix
1.b. Netiquette
As with most things in life there is a code of practice that is
generally used on the internet. These are some things that you might
like to consider before posting. This might save you being flamed.
Before you make your first post, it's usually wise to lurk (read
without posting) for a few days until you get the feel of the
group. Furthermore, here are some points of notice.
- Do not top-post! By this I mean, don't put your replies to posts
above the quoted text, but put it below it. This makes the
conversation easier to read and follow. There is no discussion
about this, this is the _number one_ rule. For more information
read Luke's Top-Posting FAQ at www.aglami.net/?view/faqs/item/282
- Don't post in HTML, as some people's newsreaders might not
support HTML and thus will download a message full of crap. Also,
it takes longer to download and isn't really necessary anyway. HTML
can be turned off in Outlook Express by going to Tools -> Options
-> Send and setting News Sending Format to Plain Text.
For more information on "Posting & HTML" read Daffy's HTML-Posting
FAQ at www.aglami.net/?view/faqs/item/342
- Trim your quotes! It makes it conversations easier to read and
makes message sizes smaller.
- Use a sig separator. Doing this enables some newsreaders to
automatically detect signatures and cut them out so they are not
included in the reply. A sig separator is simply two dashes followed
by a space ("-- "), placed as the first line of your signature.
(Outlookers go here: www.okinfoweb.com/moe/bugs/bugs_047.htm; and
here: http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix)
- Don't post binary file attachments. The resulting overload of GB
roaming the Usenet can cause some newsservers to drop (delete)
other post. If there is a file you want to share with everyone,
upload it somewhere and post the URL, or post it to a group such
as alt.binaries.games.lucas-arts, if relevant.
- If applicable, use TAGS (see section 1.c)
- If possible, please post in English, as this is a language
everybody in the group speaks.
- Don't complain about Off Topicness (see section 1.c)
- Do feel free to post almost anything - questions, opinions,
humour, speculation etc.
And finally, don't flame (verbally abuse) the regulars, we flame
better than you do. And don't try to troll, it is most likely not
going to work because of the nature of Aglami. Either you shall get
bored very soon or you will be assimilated into the Great Aglamian
Consciousness (GAC).
1.c. Off Topicness
You might as well get used to this really quick. This newsgroup is
being kept alive by a group of regulars (people who post in a group a
lot) who call themselves Aglamians (see section 2). But these
so-called Aglamians do create posts that are mostly Off Topic (posts
that have nothing directly to do with Monkey Island). Before you
start complaining about this (as people do from time to time), see
the Aglamian point of view to this. There is only so much to say
about the Monkey Island games, and most of it has already been said.
They are adventure games, you can't make extra levels for them, you
can't customize them. In order for the group to actually have any
traffic, we need off topicness too. Bear in mind that if there was
no traffic, there'd be no regulars and no-one here to answer your
technical questions. If however you do wish to discuss Monkey
Island, or have a technical problem, then do feel free to start a
thread and people will join in. This is also a good place to get
hints, in that we can tell you exactly what you need to know, and
you will not have to read a walkthru and risk spoiling other parts
of the game. To accommodate the posters (people who post) who only
want to read On Topic posts (posts concerning Monkey Island) Aglami
uses the Off Topic tag, which is often added to the subject-line of
an Off Topic post. This is what the Off Topic tag looks like:
[OT]
...amazing, isn't it? The convention of a Off Topic tag as apposed to
an On Topic tag was chosen because there are more people who would
like to killfile (that is automatically delete) off-topic subjects,
than there are people who would like to killfile on-topic subjects,
so an On Topic tag would serve little function. We also have a very
special tag for Off Topic posts concerning anything that has to do
with God, god, religion, the existence of it, and that kind of
stuff. This one looks like this:
[TEOG]
Please be so kind as to apply these tags where you can. This improves
general happiness, and causes less deaths.

==================================================
2. Aglami
Turn Back! Darkness will envelop you! Aglami will take you and never
let you go ever again! - Just a selection of phrases tossed at newbie
buccaneers. To learn more about the phenomenon of Aglami read on.
2.a. What is Aglami?
This newsgroup _IS_ Aglami. All "Aglami" really stands for is
alt.games.lucas-arts.monkey-island. It's an abbreviation, or acronym,
or whatever, you see? But things are a bit more complicated now.
Aglami is also the community of posters who visit the newsgroup on a
regular basis. This group consists of an assortment of lunatics
whose brains have been permanently damaged by an overdose of
off topic posts and mindless dribble about sponge darts and escaping
voices. I myself am one of these lunatics and proud of it! They are
usually very amiable and decapitate one another in a friendly sort
of easy-going way on an almost daily basis. They are all MI fanatics
and a veritable goldmine of information about the Famous Foursome.
2.b. Who is Who
We're a multinational melee of madmen and women, hailing from all
around the globe, from Europe to Australia to the USA. Most of us
are Monkey Island fans, as you might expect. We're a pretty friendly
bunch, and any violence you may encounter is usually all in good
fun. We make up one side of what we (well, Vigilante) like to call
"Monkey World" - the Monkey Island fan community, the other side
being the people who frequent the #monkey-island chat channel and
those involved with www.scummbar.com and www.mixnmojo.com. We're
the less serious guys. Interestingly, several of Aglami's earlier
regulars have defected to the other side, because they didn't like
the off topicness. Wusses. There used to be the RRRRR by ervaqre, with
information about regulars past and present, but at the moment there
isn't an up-to-date version, since he never has time to update it, being
the Aglami equivalent of Uncle Traveling Matt. At least the Fraggles
got postcards. (okay okay, actually I have gotten some postcards from
ervaqre over the years)
2.c. What is What
Becoming A Member: All real respectable regulars have done the Aglami
Trials (or were smart and got here before the trials were
invented). So the fastest way to become a regular is to stand up
and scream that you want trials. This will probably cause a lot of
commotion since the last trials were handed out like two or more
years ago, because of the general laziness of the regulars.
Looking at it this way, the best way to become a regular is to just
start posting on a regular (duh) basis.
Hierarchy: Aglami is basically an Anarchy. Officially we are governed
by these following people, but several of them are irregulars these
days.
ervaqre, Tracy, Dirk, Daffy, Pixel.
ervaqre is our mighty chosen Dictator and Tracy just below him as
Vice-Dictator and APF-constable (where APF is Aglami Police Force).
Dirk is our other APF-constable. Daffy is the webmaster of
Aglamidotnet. And I am author of the Aglami FAQ.
In day to day business, your status can be derived from the amount
of time you've been in Aglami, the amount of posts you post, the
size of your knowledge and, more importantly, the size of your
mouth.
RRRRR: This stands for "Reinder's Regular list of Regular Regulars
that visit Aglami Regularly", a document that used to be composed
from time to time by mighty pirate ervaqre. It contained lots of
juicy information about the current Aglami Regulars and useful
statistics on dead (former) regulars. At the moment we are looking
into reviving the RRRRR once more.
Intergroupness: Lots of regulars come from like minded newsgroups,
which from time to time causes threads running in two or more
groups. This phenomenon called crossposting can be very enjoyable,
since you meet lots of new friends and interesting newsgroups you
never dreamed of existing. But not all newsgroups appreciate us
crossposting to them, so we tend to avoid them (well, most of the
time anyway). Some groups to which crossposting takes place on a
frequent basis are eg. the Castle (alt.castlenet) and AFSJJBDDD
(alt.fan.starwars.jar-jar-binks.die.die.die), where the first one
is very respectable and the second one absolutely isn't!
*sticks out tongue at AFSJJBDDD*
Fanfics: Fanfics (fan fiction) arise from time to time in Aglami.
Aglami Fanfics usually contain a mix of Monkey Island and the
newsgroup's people and events, and are always stuffed with lots of
in-jokes. Everyone can write a fanfic, and you can collaborate with
other regulars or even posters from other newsgroups, or write one
all by yourself. Most fanfics eventually end up at
www.aglami.net/?view/writings
In-Jokes: In-Jokes are obscure jokes only understood by certain
groups of people. These can be for example be jokes related to
LA/MI-games ("I'm selling these fine leather jackets") or have
their origin in Aglami or some other obscure place ("Freudian Spin
Wheel", "The Immortal Elephant" and "[1]"). It's generally "not
done" to explain in-jokes, so I won't either, instead giving you a
bit of Luke's musing on an in-jokes explanation webpage:
"I was going to make one, with even .wavs of where the in-jokes
came from if they were a pop-culture thing like the Simpsons,
but if everyone knew about the in-jokes they wouldn't be in-jokes
any more, hence the page would have to be deleted, and then
they'd become in-jokes again, so I could remake the page, but
then they'd stop being in-jokes, so I'd have to delete it, and,
well, you can see my dilemma here, you've become your own
grandfather."
2.d. 'Do's and 'Don't's
DON'T EVER take it all TOO seriously!
DO PLEASE come in and post!
DO ask about Monkey Island
DON'T start talking about religion when John Ievins is near
DON'T call ervaqre "Reindeer" (not to his face at least)
DO ask for advice on _anything_ when in doubt
DON'T EVER EVER EVER top-post.
DO only use Sponge Darts, not real ones
DO NOT post in HTML
DO ask about Tracy's toddler
DON'T type in capitals unless you really really want to
DON'T EVER ask Pixel about: Tents, Trains and Jimmyman
DO ask Kasper for technical help
DON'T flame people without reason
AND DO NOT EVER call Pixel cute.
2.e. Peripherals
Aglami is not just on Usenet anymore, it has infected other systems.
And Aglami is spreading faster as the eye can catch.
WWW: Yes, we do indeed have our very own place on the World Wide Web.
The first ever Aglami-related website was made by me, Pixel. Then
Luke bought www.aglami.com, so we moved there under his evil evil
leadership. After a couple of years, Luke forgot to pay for the
domain, after which there was a void for a while. Then at the end
2004 several regulars put together some wooden nickels and bought
www.aglami.net as a Christmas present for Aglami. This new refreshed
world wide web home is maintained by our combustible duck, Daffy
and several other people who maintain content and news. There's a
lot of interesting stuff up there, including information on the
regulars, stuff wot came out our heads and we wrote (fanfics, songs,
and FAQs) and much, much more.
Many Aglamians have their own sites too of course. A index of them
can be found here: www.aglami.net/?view/aglamians
Also, a lot of Aglamians keep an online journal at LiveJournal.
Links to several of these journals can also be found in the
previously mentioned index on Aglamidotnet. For more information
about LJ, you can go here: www.livejournal.com
IRC: In another dimension, neighbouring the Usenet universe, lurks
an phenomenon know as Internet Relay Chat. Consisting of several
networks of interconnected servers, here can be instantly talked
to hundreds of people, inhabiting small segments called channels.
Aglami too got sucked in here, through a rift torn by Vigilante
(iirc). We have a channel on the Slashnet system, called #aglami,
populated by lots of speechless creatures, some of them even actual
Aglami (ir)regulars. To access the IRC dimension, it is recommended
to download the program mIRC (www.mirc.com), as this is clearly one
of the better IRC-programs around (Windows only). For a list of
other IRC-clients have a look here: www.ircreviews.org/clients.
Check here for my quick mIRC and #aglami start up guide:
www.aglami.net/?view/faqs/item/341
ICQ/MSN: Another popular form of communication are the real-time
messaging programs ICQ (www.icq.com) and MSN Messenger
(http://messenger.msn.com). With these program you can instantly
see if people you know are online and send them short personal
messages. A lot of the regulars use them and/or and this is thus a
fitting way to get to know your aglamian friends on a more personal
note. A list of aglamians' user-information for both ICQ and MSN
can be found at www.aglami.net/?view/aglamians
Besides these more stable methods of contact, there is a habit of
jumping from one multi-player game to another. Previous examples of
such games are been Graal (www.graalonline.com), Tetrinet
(www.tetrinet.org) and Continuum (http://beginners.subspace.net). To
see what's the current game of choice, check the newsgroup.
==================================================
3. Monkey Island FAQ
Well, in the end this is a newsgroup about Monkey Island, and as we
regulars are somewhat bad at remembering links (except for Kasper of
course) and the such, here's a Monkey Island Frequently Asked
Questions.
3.a. Getting the Game
Q: How many MI games have there been?
A: There have been four games in the series. In chronological order:
-Secret of Monkey Island (also shortened to SoMI or MI1)
-Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (usually known as MI2)
-Curse of Monkey Island (CMI, CoMI or MI3)
-Escape From Monkey Island (EMI, EfMI or MI4)
The first three are 2D point 'n click graphical adventures.
Escape from Monkey Island is different in that you do not use
the mouse at all, and everything is 3D a la Grim Fandango.
The games have been released for different formats: all four are
available on the PC, the first two on the Macintosh and Amiga,
and EMI has been released for the Playstation 2.
Q: How can I get the Monkey Island games?
A: Here I refer you to:
Guide how to buy the Monkey Island games if you only have a bag
of wooden nickels and a sword
by
Salty Pirate ervaqre
---------------------------
1. I live in the USA or Canada
That's easy. Buy them at the online Lucas Arts store
www.lucasarts.com
2. I'm not sure if I live in the USA or Canada
Well, that's not so easy...
There are several companies that distribute the games in
other countries than the USA or Canada. On the LA homepage
you'll find a list of companies and countries. Search your
country and ask at a local store to order the game at the
company mentioned on the list.
Also you might try to order it here:
www.gamespot.com/gamebuyer
www.reserve.co.uk
www.ebay.co.uk
www.gameplay.com
www.gamezone.co.uk
www.amazon.com
I'm sure Ebay is bound to have a copy.
Eh? What's that? You're a scabby bandit and you don't *want* to
pay money for these games? Well, if it's the last two games you
want, we can't help you. Go buy them. But as for the first two...
after some trouble with a man called Bruni, at Activision, we
decided to provide them if asked for... So ask if you want them.
UPDATE: LA seems to have decided that nobody should be able to
buy the first two games on the LA-website anymore. This only adds
weight to the previous statement: You want them? Ask!
(www.scummbar.com/index.php?newssniffer=readcomment&news=806)
Q: I've "lost" my code wheel. Can somebody send me an image of the
wheel?
A: You can get a scanned image at these following places:
SoMI:
www.aglami.net/webfiles/codewheelcolour.jpg
(full colour, 161 KB)
www.aglami.net/webfiles/codewheel.jpg
(grey scale, 137 KB)
http://home.arcor.de/juebo/pirates/pirates.htm
(javascript, in German)
MI2:
www.aglami.net/webfiles/codewheelmi2.jpg
(full colour)
http://home.arcor.de/juebo/mi2/mi2.htm
(javascript, in German)
If printing out a code wheel is way too much trouble for such a
laid-back person such as you, you could look in section 3.c for
information on the ScummVM (which bypasses the copy protection
automatically).
Q: One of my game disks is corrupted. Can you e-mail the files to me?
A: No way! Some of those files are way too big! Hmmm, but if you ask
nicely, somebody might put the file temporally online on his
webspace.
Q: Is there going to be a Monkey Island 5?
A: No-one knows for sure yet. There is some evidence, though - The
Voodoo Lady says she has a five-game contract. And bear in mind
also that Lucas Arts originally denied that there was ever going
to be a number three or four... The final word, however, is
likely to come from Simon Jeffery, the LEC President. And what
the man has said is that if EMI sold well, then there will
likely be an MI5. And it seems to be selling well, as Sean found
him saying in a interview on MixnMojo "At some point in the
future, there will undoubtedly be more Monkey Island games. No
doubt about that." Watch this space for his opinion on which
point in the future this shall be. Except that Simon Jeffrey
left Lucasarts to go take care of his family, or something. So we
can't actually be sure of anything now...
3.b. Stuck?
Q: I'm a pathetic wimp. I want to download the full walkthrough
solution to one of the Monkey Island games, and complete it in a
day. Where can I get such walkthroughs?
A: The best thing to do would be to post your question to the group.
That way we can give you subtle hints and you don't risk
spoiling other parts of the game by looking at a walkthru.
That's if you trust us. If you don't (wise person), then
solutions are available from the most excellent
www.islandx.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk, run by our own Orin. Or try at
the famous www.scummbar.com. Another alternative would be to use
a Universal Hints System (UHS) hints file. This gives you
progressive hints for particular puzzles you are stuck on. Check
it out at: www.uhs-hints.com
Q. I am unable to win the sword fight with the Swordmaster/
Rottingham. How do I win?
A. Firstly, you must collect as many witty replies as possible from
the other pirates. To do this, simply give them an insult - if
they reply with the correct answer, it will be added to your
list. Then when you confront the Swordmaster/Rottingham, just
use the answer which makes the most sense.
Q: What _IS_ the secret of Monkey Island?
A: Nobody knows except for Ron Gilbert, the creator of SoMI and MI2.
In a recent chat, he announced that if you look carefully at the
first two games, you can find out the secret - apparently, 'a
lot of the jokes aren't really jokes...'.
(keep an eye on his blog for more clues: www.grumpygamer.com)
Q: Where is Monkey Island?
A: According to the coordinates give in one of the demos of SoMI it
should be located here: www.aglami.net/webfiles/mimap.gif. Though
something might have gone wrong with working it out, as it
shouldn't really be in Asia, but in the Caribbean Sea which is
located between North- and South America.
Alternatively, Mêlee Island is marked on this map from a Indiana
Jones game: www.aglami.net/webfiles/indy_melee.jpg
3.c. Technical
Q: Hello, I have all the old Monkey Island games and even some other
old Lucas-Arts adventure games, but I can't get them to work with
my Operating System! Oh, what can I do!?
A: Haste yourself to www.scummvm.org to get the ScummVM. ScummVM is
free utility that allows you to run games based on the SCUMM
engine on loads of OS platforms, from WindowsXP to Solaris to
PalmOS. And, as an added bonus, ScummVM bypasses the copy
protection on both SoMI and MI2, and some other games.
Q: Hi I've got windows 2000 and of course monkey island three. The
problem is simple, it doesn't work!!! Does anyone know or had
similar problems?
A: Check out www.ntcompatible.com/clist-All-m-All-520.html and scroll
down to Monkey Island.
Q: I'm having problems with Escape From Monkey Island. Help me, you
stupid bastards, it's what you're here for!
A: read the "Escape From Monkey Island Technical Support", by Kasper
Aae here: www.aglami.net/?view/faqs/item/340

5. History & Updates
This is actually not the first document of its kind, or the second
or third... but the eight. The first FAQ was created by Huz in early
1999, and the second one, a combination FAQ for this newsgroup and
the #monkey-island chat channel, appeared shortly after, written by
Michael Smith. After a lapse of several months where - shock
horror - no such document was posted, yet another FAQ was created by
Simon Reid, in September 1999. And the story doesn't end here. Oh
no. All these people disappeared, and the fourth holy document
appeared, also the longest-used one, the mighty FAQAA, penned by one
Sean Geggie. Due to various problems, Sean was unable to post for a
long time. And much had happened which might warrant the authorship
of a new FAQ, so Michael Ball took on the authorship. But alas, Mike
has school and school means less internet, and less internet means
no time for a FAQ. Therefor I composed a new one from the old ones,
but it became rather out of date, so Orin took over with one very
similar to mine. And now I am here again, with a new update of my
Aglami FAQ. Written by me, Pixel... well, mostly copy-pasted from
previous ones.
