About MAK

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.

Today, MAK is still serving the purpose it was created to serve. It is a place for proud Meridellians, or even for Neopians in general, to be together and have some fun.

The Board

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 our home, the Altador Cup chat, when the Cup is taking place. When there is no Altador Cup chat, we are proud to call the Virtupets chat our home away from home.

Here are the opening posts that are to go on every new board.

The Guild

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 original MAK guild layout is displayed. The layout was made by Lady Firehawk of Meridell.
