Atlantis 2.0: Times 71 From: Geoff Dunbar <gdunbar@prankster.com> Date: Wed, 04 Sep 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Subject: Atlantis 2.0: Times 71 Atlantis 2.0 Times November, 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ admin20@prankster.com for questions, problems, http://www.prankster.com for info. Atlantis 3.0 has begun, and is currently accepting new players. Turns cost $1 (US); visit the web site www.prankster.com (or www.wolfe.net/~prank), or email atlantis@prankster.com for more information. Geoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Too late for something good, just gimme my $50! ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE WOMBAT The wombat lives across the seas, Among the far Antipodes. He may exist on nuts and berries, Or then again, on missionaries; His distant habitat precludes Conclusive knowledge of his moods. But I would not engage the wombat In any form of mortal combat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ooops... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Sir' Dave Inci turned to face the messenger, dropping the battle plans onto = the table top where he was formulating his schemes. 'News from the front?' 'Yes, sir. The enemy is defeated...and we have captured there longboat'. 'Excellent. Better than we could have hoped for. Post a notice on all = notice boards, and around the docks, asking for sailors. Training will = be given. Its time Dave Inci went exploring.' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The times ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skills, skills, skills, all this studying left to do! But first, we should at least learn how to extort money from the locals so we have time to study, and silver for food too! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WAR BREAKS OUT! Its The Black Company (124), hesiden@Stoner.COM VS the NAA Church of the Purple Snowflake NAA (72), landt@acf2.nyu.edu Worshipers of the eye NAA (383), bpest1+@pitt.edu Dead Minotaur's Traders, NAA (442), cbmartin@whale.st.usm.edu Order of the Elusive Name NAA (454), bpest1+@pitt.edu Greenpoint - NAA (572), xuequin@unix.asb.com The Cooperative NAA (627), kalmar@acf2.NYU.EDU Ordo Voraginis - NAA (796), arendas@telepac.pt NAA Consolidated Power (813), mcirino@lehman.com The Undefined NAA (837), martykay@bns.com.au Synergy, NAA (912), nmatsui@itsa.ucsf.EDU The Riders of Twilight, NAA (948), pete.george@stonebow.otago.ac.nz the Renshai NAA (964), navboy@prodigy.com Toon Town. NAA (1076), nunn@serv7440.nrlssc.navy.mil No doubt over the next few turns you'll see huge heaps of drivel in times from the NAA expousing the evils of the Black Company and maybe even SCIO, but that is unlikely as the NAA are a cowardly lot. Besides it would be pretty stupid as I dropped out of SCIO several months ago. I wish to appologise in advance for their outburst (or at least the stuff that is not entertaining) since I caused it by attacking them. I have no doubt I will loose the war eventually since I am only one faction (with a little help from a couple of friends) against 13 or so factions. My having to cross an ocean to reach them only makes things more difficult. I feel my attacks justified because of the slanderous statments and cheap impersonations of the Black Company comitted in the times and via personal e-mail by NAA factions. Anyway who gives a damn about the reason, its war to the end after what I did (or attempted to do) to them this turn. Anyone who feels like attacking the NAA contact me the Black Company. I have portals avalible in several key spots. Anyone who feels like fighting me should obviously contact the NAA. Now back to your important "give me 50 silver" times messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Two factions dropped out last turn. That leaves 207 factions. Farewell to: The Company (588) Faction (1091) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well, off I go, across the border from the 0s into the 90s... I wonder if I'll be attacked on sight? You never know with NPCs... (Haven't seen one yet, this whole game...) So if everyone's leaving anyway, maybe I should take greater risks- nonaggressive ones I promise. -1039 http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/1489 es19@cornell.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A l'attaque !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ no ------------------------------------------------------------------------ no ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Global Trading Company hasn't had acces to it's mail last week and won't this week, so please be patient. I'm not snobing you. REMEMBER THE GTC HOMEPAGE http://lux.latrobe.edu.au/~phtcdah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Question Corner *************** Concerning the ultimate spell. I believe that it would have been possible for someone by now to have trained a mage up in every foundation by now. What are peoples thoughts on there being an ultimate spell existing, and also does anyone have confirmation that one exists, or to the point would anyone admit to having acheived such a spell.

Are you interested in booking a flight? ======================================= As you should have noticed by now, I've turned into quite the professional service - I've even got my own, newly furnished Departure Lounge for you to sit and wait in before your flight is called. So why not book a flight out of AC now and begin to explore the unknown outside world? Cost is only $750 per flight, and you can throw as many men as you like through it. Team up with a couple of pals and make it a group affair. I've dealt with several group flights - all for the same low, low cost of only $750, and they are very satisfied. Just listen to a couple of comments : "Since I booked a flight through the UPS, my life and faction has gone from strength to strength" Roah the Conqueror "I ventured into the outside world with a few pals, and before we knew it, we'd set up our own Empire" The Sleaze Alliance "UPS has transformed my life - I was a lowly leader trying to keep a motly band of High Elves in check in Atlantis City, until UPS brought me a new lease of life in the outside world. I now have a small army of six different races, all specialising in different areas.

Atlantis City Services --------------------------------- The N.P.R. have now removed the last obstacle to the smooth running of the city, and as such we are forming a portfolio of services, that will be made available to the occupants of AC ; some of the services are free, others are at a very low (easily affordable) charge. The only exceptions to the NPR services are the UPS, run by Mack, and the sale of magic items, run by Andre van Dalen. Although these are freelance services, both retailers are affiliates to the NPR, and as such, offer their services to the public under the banner of the NPR. NPR Skills Bureau ----------------- The NPR have set up teachers in all of the available skills. The current skills offered by the Skills Bureau are : *Stealth (STE) Healing (HEA) Lumberjack (LUM) *Observation (OBS) Herb Lore (HER) Mining (MIN) Combat (COM) Quarrying (QUA) Sailing (SAI) Longbow (LBO) Building (BUI) Shipbuilding (SHI) Crossbow (XBO) Weaponsmith (WEA) Fishing (FIS) Riding (RID) Armourer (ARM) Hunting (HUN) Horse Training (HOR) Carpenter (CAR) Costs are $10 per man, with the assumption that at least two men are training in any given turn (just to cover maintanence). Skills with a star (*) next to them are at a cost of $30 per man, with only one man required to be training in any given turn. Note that all skills are available up to a maximum of level 3. Later levels than this will incur a greater cost. Contact the Admin staff to book in your trainees. NPR Spells Exchange ------------------- The Atlantis City Spells Exchange has fallen into disrepair, so the NPR are re-establishing it. Our knowledge is fairly limited, so your help would be appreciated. If you can offer any spells, please contact the Admin Staff. The spells currently offered by the NPR Spells Exchange are : Foundation(s) Research Area Spell Name ------------- ------------- ---------- Construct 1 Enchantment Enchant Wagon Construct 3 Enchantment Enchant Swords Ethereal 1 Shadow Shadow Jump Ethereal 3 Shadow Shadow Sight Body 1 Might Bear Strength Mind 1 Mind Reading Detect Faction Energy 1 Fire Fireflash Energy 3 Fire Fireworks Nature 1 Forest Bless Forest Life 1 Healing Curing Con 1 + Eth 1 Portal Create Portal Con 3 + Eth 3 Portal Portal Jump Con 1 + Bod 1 Gadget Create Gloves of Strength Con 1 + Mnd 1 Gadget Create Helm of Observation Con 1 + Ene 1 Gadget Create Wand of Fire Con 1 + Nat 1 Gadget Create Pick of Mining Con 1 + Lif 1 Gadget Create Potion of Healing Bod 1 + Nat 1 Shape Shifting Rat Form Ene 1 + Nat 1 Weather Wind Riding Ene 2 + Nat 2 Weather Wind Control Mnd 1 + Lif 1 Mind Control Cause Fear Requests for spells can be directed toward the Admin Staff. United Portal Service (U.P.S.) ------------------------------ The UPS is back up and running. It took a while, but there you go... Cost is $750 per flight, with a limit of 1000 weight units. A brief break-down of weights are : Men (HEL or LDR) 10 units Longbows/Swords 1 units Horses 50 units Wagons 50 units Magic Items 0 units To book your flight, contact Mack on : u3djm@csc.liv.ac.uk The Guild's Magic Items ----------------------- All of the standard magical items can be obtained at the following prices : Portal $400 Gloves of Strength $500 Helm of Observation $500 Wand of Fire $500 Pick of Mining $400 Potion of Healing (10) $500 or $50 each Magic Wagon $500 Wagon Enchanting $100 (U supply wagon) Contact Andre van Dalen of The Guild at : targon!andre@relay.NL.net Admin Staff ----------- Any querries can be rectified by contacting any of the Admin Staff of the NPR : Salvatore Greco salvo@iafrica.com Public Relations Pete Futtrup pf@nrg.dtu.dk Co-ordinator Dave "Mack" McGaw u3djm@csc.liv.ac.uk Co-ordinator Who are the NPR? ---------------- Finally a brief note about who we are. The NPR is a splinter group derived from the now deceased Dominion alliance. Only a few of us are Ex-Dominion, with the others made up from newbie factions from AC. We are hoping that our former involvement with the Dominion will not distract the inhabitants of AC from normal activities, as operations now begin under the management of the NPR. Disclaimer of External Affairs. ------------------------------- Some of the NPR members are active outside of the city, in some cases with other alliances. Their actions are separate to the affairs internal to Atlantis City and should in no way be a reflection on the house-keeping of AC with regard to the NPR. (In other words - they may be nice as pie to you inside, but massacre you on sight outside! The NPR can take no responsibility for those actions undertaken by it's members upon leaving the city.) Final Note of Warning --------------------- The NPR have a large fighting force, which is currently expanding as other minor factions and alliances plead allegiance with us. DO NOT attempt to attack any of the ruling body, or the full wrath of the NPR, and it's subsidiaries will be incurred. Our forces are ever expanding!!!

The Magellan sat offshore of a wide plain. The had been sailing along its shore for a few weeks and had finally decided to set ashore to top off their water barrels. As they entered a bay that seemed like a good place to land, habitations came into view, as well as a number of well-disciplined troops. Seldarin turned to one of crew, skilled in heraldry. "Do you recognize their sigils?" he asked. The observer peered through the glass. "There appear to be two large groups of troops, from the Lemon Drop Kids and The Cold Warriors. The Lemon Drop Kids are active in Telrania far north of us, although we have had no actual communication with them. We have not met The Cold Warriors that I am aware of. There is also a ranch run by the House of Marta." Seldarin considered this news. There was no reason to believe the locals would be hostile, but this was a world where people often attacked for little or no reason. He reached his decision and gave the order to put the boat about and head back out to sea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Life to ALL!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let's do it GOOD! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The winds of time blow ever onward, and still here I stand petals unfolding, falling to the seasons, but never dying.

Silence and solitude remain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vivement le portal jump!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beware of those who try to invade my plains, the Kangourou leader in the austral plains will punished them ! beware also of the new troop coming soon directly by boat in those plains ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Voila le commencement de la fin Et ce pays s'appellera a tout jammais: IchKayLesMich Mr Tagomi The Bin in the Beam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ************************************************************************* CREATURE INFORMATION compiled by The Picts(161) known subsiduary - The Monzon Movers please email any additional information / corrections / suggestions to pdxark@evol.gene.nott.ac.uk ************************************************************************* ================ Creature Information ============ Rightly or Wrongly I've been trying to group similar types of creatures together.

Vast battles between major alliances seems the only natural conclusion to the long journey from newbie faction to powerful allied states. Little land remains unexplored, leaving this great alliances with little to do but wage war with one another. All of the magical arts have been charted, and the tenth armored galleon is no where near as exciting as the first. This situation leaves the Atlantis Press editor to wonder: "Who will spark the fire that sets the whole world to burning?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ And now...
