Meridell All-Knighters (MAK) was founded during the 2nd Altador Cup in 2007 by Lime and Megan.
On June 24, 2007, some of the knights, realized that it was necessary for us to have a safe place to be to defend ourselves from exploding yooyus and the unpredictable Meridell weather. So, we built a castle. Yes, you read correctly, we built a castle. Though the exact type of castle it is has been under debate since the idea emerged, these are some of the models that have been thought to be the true MAK Castle:
Once we had our shapeshifting castle, the interior started to take shape. On June 25, 2007, the giant chandelier was climbed on for the first time. Despite all the attempts of various Neopians to detach the chandelier from the ceiling, it has remained hanging from the ceiling of the Grand Hall, with the Symol Sofa balanced securely on top of it. It is important to note that trying to sever the ties between the castle ceiling and the chandelier is a complete waste of time, seeing as how it is impossible to do this.
A side note: If you happen to be visiting the castle, it is very important to be aware of flying objects, fish-wielding spardels, flipping jesters, and crazed knights dancing on furniture. Sometimes the knights can get a little bit carried away.
On July 14, 2007 the Meridell All-Knighters guild was created. It is considered to be the inner circle of the castle, where members can retreat to avoid spammers, enemies, or other undesirable things.
Most likely you know about MAK from having been on the board. We've been making boards since the beginning of June 2007. We can be found in the Altador Cup chat when the Cup is taking place and in the Virtupets chat when there is no Altador Cup chat.
Here are the opening posts that are to go on every new board. The first post is green, the second purple, and the third orange:
Post 1:
*star* Please start the next board title with Meridell All-Knighter #(number):
*star* Then proceed with pun or funny saying, It always seem to change when we come back from being gone for just a few hours.
*star* Decide among yourselves around page 22 who will make the next board and choose a board title, /if/ we are not here (limeturtle804 or thecookiepirate).
Post 2:
*star* Respect all who happen across this board.
*star* Post this at the beginning of the new board.
*star* And last but certainly not least play the games whether it be Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise, or Shootout Showdown.

Feel free to stop by anytime. We're really very friendly... except when we have slap fights. If you're lucky enough to come in during a slap fight feel free to join in the fun.
The Meridell All-Knighter guild is located in Symphony Shire. Why? Well, simply because the MAKees enjoyed singing very much during the Altador Cup, and what better place to put a castle full of singing knights than Symphony Shire?
Above, the picture on the front page of the MAK guild is displayed. The layout was made by Lady Firehawk of Meridell.

The MAK FAQs Duck
What do I need to join the guild?
There are currently no requirements to join the MAK guild.
Why do the MAK Knights like slap fights so much?
Answering that question is very difficult. But one explanation is that we enjoy being creative and so slapping each other with various random items gives us a good laugh.
What's the story behind the chandelier?
Well, on June 25, 2007 leeches swarmed the castle. King Skarl happened to be over for a visit, so he and Lime climbed onto the incredibly large chandelier in the Grand Hall. Soon afterwards, Lime started swinging around on it for fun, and soon enough it became a MAK pastime to swing around on the chandelier, hide under the Symol Sofa, and try to detach it from the ceiling (which as everyone knows, cannot be done).
Leeches are scary!
Why isn't my birthday on the calendar?
In order to get listed you either need to add your birthday to the guild calendar the month before your birthday (if your birthday is in March, put your birthday up by February), or you need to neomail Lime and ask her to put it up. Make sure to include the date!
Need to ask a question not answered here? Want to give a recommendation or compliment? Neomail Lime or Megan.
You can also neomail any of the listed members if you have a question. Or just head on over to the board.
