n. Acronym for "A Land Far Away". An Hero persistent world project for Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, whose goal is to destroy the whole of Faerun with a living umbral blot space-time paradox called Rusty, by not following sources of official canon as closely as is possible. It is achieved by building with and tweaking the rules of the Neverwinter Nights engine to replicate pen and paper roleplaying on the computer but often results in a nerd power struggle for mild self-worth on the internets and unhappy players who just want to play. Many egotistical people play on ALFA, all with their idea of what it should be, all the while making it more difficult to level, less l00t, less fun, and more beaurocratic. Among these people with unwarrented self importance are the ALFA's dedicated team of builders and DM's. Above them rest the horrendous HDMs and LAs in a bullsh!t heirarchy of nerdomn hate, misandric "never-been-laid" females, racist pricks, angry "never-been-laid" males, failed programmers, out of work web designers, zicada, and

ALFA's dedicated team of builders and DM's work relentlessly to bring the project to life and the result of their hard work is a living, breathing persistent world inhabited by dozens and dozens of fantastic roleplayers. Sadly, it all fails miserably by the wayside with neglect, butthurt, and piles of completely beaten dead horses. See; World of Warcraft.
"I'm done with my homework early today, so I can hit up ALFA for some DM'd goodness."
"God damn ALFA! Why do I waste my life playing this shit when everyone is a complete asshole who you would either punch or ignore IRL?!"
"Hurrah I made it to level - OH SH*T! I DIED! Where the hell did that come from? Why doesn't it have a name!? Is it so FUCK!NG meta to have a name associated with a creature?!! God damnit! *sighs* rerolling."
"WTF! I just cleared out an entire den of evil for this mundane dagger worth 1gp. SCREW YOU ALFA AND YOUR GOD DAMNED LOOT SYSTEM!!"
