Why were the snow elves removed from the game? I have been looking in the forums and can't seem to find the explanation.

Years ago (back when Manny was chair of Twilight Hall) there was a myth of a Thrak that lived in the labyrinth at Twilight Hall. People left cookies and food for him. There were also old-ish stories that Icewhite used to recite around the same time as the ornaments were hung on the tree. There was a ball as well. People did call it Thrakmas, and I agree that the name is much like Christmas.

The thing is, no one ever told any of the players that the word was ooc, so it was commonly used. (At least, not that I can ever remember) Now, a group of older players still use the word because they recall the Thrak and those events.
