[part 2] Atlantis 3.0: Times 23 From: Geoff Dunbar <gdunbar@prankster.com> Date: Mon, 18 Nov 1996 00:00:00 +0000 * Continuation 1 of a split message * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's been a pretty boring month. Moving here - moving there. Study this - study that. That's ok. Things should become a bit more interesting soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Isn't it inconvenient when you run out of silver? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oh well At least this time I didn't find any pillaged hexes. Maybe our opposition has stopped the scorched earth strategy. Good, then we can fight elf to elf. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The winds of war are growing stronger ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am looking for a pure magic faction to ally with me in the lands I have found through gate lore. I can provide a place to study and funding for study. All you will need to do is get here. Send email to koth@zorda.com if interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Time to kick some monster but. Any one want a Lizard man head... I think I will have them for sale real soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Redswift Scouting and Trading Company COBRA (232): Life is moving slowly right now but soon things will get better. With any hope we shall grow and as we do things will work more smoothly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The scouts were living off nothing but bread and water now, and needed the meager income they received from their journalistic enterprises to keep from starving altogher. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaptu looked around the Nexus. The sensation was particularly odd for = he knew that he was alive in the world of Greyhawk in another = incarnation. It felt good to be young again. He started to study. He = knew his predecessor, Edward, had died from lack of concentration, a = mistake he did not intend to make. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Golden Empire (189): Public service announcement: Members of the newly established Assassins guild is invited to the Durness region to practice and hone their skills on the misguided SEP thugs. This will have the dual benefit of enhancing the Assassins' skills and lowering the average Atlantis-Faction-Evilness-Quotient (in spite of Azthar who is not really evil - he just hasn't seen the BOT in action and so has no proper frame of reference) Azthar emotioned > I've got to say, in a twisted way I love you all! Surely you don't mean that !!!! Aarrrrggg. Now, for my own contribution to the Azthar Hamster lobbing lobby: There was a sad looney, Azthar Whose tales often went way to far One month in the Times He commited so many crimes That his colleagues proclaimed him fubar This is my signed vote to give Azthar the Spleen. He deserves it, and hey, there is a chance he won't use it to vent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Does anyone know how to charm a dragon of a centaur. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What silvers are suddenly running low when working in a starting town. And what is this: Wages: $18 (Max: $19000). Suddenly there are maximum wages. Darklords (113) - Member of UF and GALE Henning Joergensen (c928740@student.dtu.dk) -------------------------------------------- http://www.kbar.dtu.dk/~c928740/welcome.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pigs, are pigs all over, but none have spleens. What could it mean??? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nursie read the reports with delight. "Orcies!" she exclaimed. She read on... Winter would delay the encirclement of the city, but that was not necessarily a bad thing. It was time to teach some miners and weaponsmiths, and time for the Guardians to start advanced training, something which had been impossible while they had been concentrating on gathering new recruits. Soon after spring the city guards would get a nasty surprise... - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The elves are dreaming again of endless plains and rich cities where they might raise a mighty army of fierce mercenaries. Dream on, elves :( But they will straggle on through the impoverished jungles and swamps in their ragged bands of two and three, until they find their Elf Dorado - they know one day they will find it - they must find it! Only once the militia is replaced by a properly trained army will they be allowed to retire to the ranches and farms they have been promised. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 50 silver just ain't enough GIMME MORE!!!! (please) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Les dwarves regardez les elves de mere dans le bateaux. Ils chant, plus le temp, et avec la coeur - "Ou sont les elves de mere? Les elves de mere sont dans la soupe!" C'est impossible, les elves et dwarves habite ensemble? Non! Ils avez entente - elves sont elves, dwarves sont dwarves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't forget your raincoat. It's monsoon season again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The trumpet sounds. The elite potato troops snap to attention Crisply [or chiply for our chums across the atlantic ] they march in line. More conquest, more glory - is there no limit to the ambition of this deranged potato ? Well yes actually. I'm all in favour of this global domination lark if :- a) Its not too dangerous b) I don't have to leave my nice safe tower and c) I still remain a nice and lovable guy. Bugger thats that out then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Sale 1 slightly soiled alliance. Only 4 members but with a low mileage and in excellent condition. Owner has to move to another continent. Willing to consider part exchange. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can surrender without a prayer But never really pray without surrender ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can fight without ever winning But never ever win without fight ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Selfishness breeds it.... this cesspool of sorrow.... And every few moments.... I see a friend die.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ API SPORTS CLOSE RACE AT WHITEWATER As the contestants reached the midway point for the race, they are neck and neck. Oddsmakers have the odds of either ship winning at 3:2 with the same odds for the monsoons dragging both ships out of commission. On the first week, it seemed that the Aramoana was going to pull ahead as it gained the inside track and the coastal winds. The Awapuhi was nearly 30 kilometers behind when a sudden early monsoon surge pushed the boat through the marshlands. At this time, neither crew can gain an advantage of more than a kilometer or two at a time. Wade Poole API International Sports Helsicke ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Ug!" said Thok. "Boat done yet?" "Soon", answered the stylishly dressed gnome contractor as he rubbed his hands together. "You must have patience. Good help is so hard to find. But we'll have your boat done in two weeks - as agreed. While I have you here, I would like to mention all of the overtime we've had to put in, the high cost of lumber, and, well, you did sign a cost-plus contract ..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Da Boss smiled as the Witch Doctor slowly bleed to death. He had been fooled twice before, by the wily old orc, had made one too many mistakes. Now the old Witch Doctor would pay. His teeth made a nice addition to Da Boss's collection. "Youse got last word?", he asked. "yes....", was the wisphered reply. "What?" "horses....", was the wisphered reply. "You not fool me again with story" "but...", was the Witch Doctor's last reply. Da Boss was disappointed that the Witch Doctor hadn't lasted longer. Oh well, he thought. Little did he know, the witch doctor had been right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anzique Cannibals (176): At times I almost dream. . . . I too have spent the life of the sages way. And tread once more familiar paths. Perchance I perished in an arrogant self reliance an age ago. And in that act a prayer for one more chance went up so earnest. Instinct, with better light let in by death, that life was blotted out not so completely. But, scattered wrecks, enough of it, to remain dim memories. As now, one seems once more. The goal, in sight again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ At last i have ORCS now the gate will be safe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For The one who was in the Plain 50,70 : horse shuttle 4888 more friendly pilgrams 9044 reserves 9897 Next Time put your units in reveal mode !

The members are Roses On White Lace (91) & Elves of Essedail (93) MAGIC: GOD officialy denies any knowledge of any dark rituals in Jotel. However, rumours of orders of improved security was spread amongst the villagers. WAR: The poor guards of Darm, who last month killed over 80 brave COBRA warriors, was ashed as GOD aided COBRA in a new attack. The outcome wasn't absolutely clear at the point of writing, but preliminary reports talk about piles of burning city guard corpses. WAR: The stupid transporter (who has a death sentence to look forward to) made a mistake, ending up far away from the Sines assault force who really needed the horses. A new attempt will be made this month, but the risk of moonsoon is very present. Lord Smygelfh promised to take out his revenge on the Yuci city guards if the force was held up by the rain.
