Atlantis 2.0: Times 70 From: Geoff Dunbar <gdunbar@prankster.com> Date: Wed, 28 Aug 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Subject: Atlantis 2.0: Times 70 Atlantis 2.0 Times October, 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What was .that.? I am provisionally accepting the explanation for the murder of my troops that was offered by email and spreading forgiveness wide. But it's definitely looking almost time to flip to v3.0... How many cities are there?

Corollaries: 1. The bigger the theory, the better. 2. The experiment may be considered a success if no more than 50% of the observed measurements must be discarded to obtain a correspondence with the theory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Seven faction dropped this turn. That leaves 210 faction.

Warships have rounded the bay. They've lowered a boat, = looks like a lone scout!" The implications of the news span through Dave Inci's mind in a split = second. It took him as long to realise what must be done; newcomers, = even if friendly at first, would ruin the tranquillity of this peaceful = retreat for him and his followers. There may not be much here, bar the = ruins of a recently vanished civilisation, but it gave them all peace to = further there spiritual and mental selves. "Very well. We have no choice. UNLEASH THE DOGS OF WAR!"... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A town emptying out... Hmm, perhaps I should stock up on natives??? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ahhh, they don't want us to visit their little town. How cute. That sure is a pretty snowfall your making. Of course, we know you only have 7 Mages in your little town, and one of you is casting "Blizzard" every turn. I guess all your posturing is for naught, eh? If you truly had superior forces, you wouldn't be on the defensive... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want to have a fast car? Want to mine more iron than your neighbour? Feeling weak? Want to play with fire? Want to look farther? Want a portal to travel fast? Do you like potions? Come to the Guild, we are now blessing wagons and swords, creating Picks of Mining Gloves of Strength, Wands of Lightning, Potions of Healing and Portals. For all who need these services or want to receive Magic tuition, make us an offer we can't refuse. We are situated in Atlantis City. Send pigeons to adalen.via@sni.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SICO are just Roman lackeys who will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sedgewick spent a quiet month walking the forested paths. He saw nothing out of the ordinary and decided that this month he would move farther south, on his quest to find Ralf. Sedgewick was thankful that the Black Company elders had treated him honorably, and Sedgewick stuck carefully to the agreement they had struck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. Reply to cjh@ecr.mu.oz.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------ One more turn and we will have the Portal Jump spell that will be grand. Now we will be able to go all sorts of places. Happy times are indeed ahead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mage faction looking for a safe haven. Please reply to the times. We will contact you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yea, though I walk through the valley of death I shall fear no Evil, for I am the meanest son of a b&*#h in the valley. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am getting tired of reading all of this drivel. Can someone come up with something original besides the same thing every turn. Like those stupid adds for Portal Jumping in AC. The first time was cute, but its getting old now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gimme 50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ok, Ok, let me get this straight. The PCP want to what? You've got to be kidding me? After what those 2 spies did to us last turn. Off with thier heads. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Lemon Drop Kids are going to be a memory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another Mage got killed last turn. This is starting to get annoying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Can someone help me on the order to build a galleon with Ironwood? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ah... The Mind Blast. This will work so much better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ no ------------------------------------------------------------------------ no ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >From the Glossary of "It Takes a Faction: A Celebration of the Cultural Diversity of Atlantis", by Hillary Rodham Clinton, Published by J.

Once more the ship was in the open sea, far from any land. However, tales from afar told of another great continent ahead. It would take careful navigation to thread its bays and rivers to cross the continent. In addition, the late monsoons would be starting soon, and that would slow progress. Since they would coincide with the northern winter, leaving the tropics would not help. Seldarin pondered these factors for hours in his cabin while charting the ship's course. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wanted in Kashmar area: Portalling service Picks of Mining please forward offers to jbaclask@adnetsol.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NAA repent your sins.

This well-know fact is less surprising than some mysterious councils making mysterious decisions under mysterious curcumstances and putting them in (not so mysterious) times without even having a courage to put their (very mysterious) addresses below: -- By order of the council, the CCC will be eliminated from all hexes for collaboration with an enemy and spying. The order will be executed immediatly. Is this not the same council, to whom I offered friendship and support many times and who haven't answered no my letter? Is this not the same council, who makes rush decisions without informing no one of his allies? And then suffers losses? I'm sorry about your losses, they don't make me happy, even if you suffer them by attacking me. But I wonder, how much losses do you need to suffer, before you write me a letter explaining what you want? It doesn't require much courage to attack by over 100 troops a small single sea elf called Diplomat (although he may appear to be a giant strength mage). Of course I understand it, it's much more exciting to entertain the honorable Atlantis population with our nice relations, I do it with pleasure for I enjoy everybody laughing. Let's do it from now on! This contribution is still uncomparably smaller than e.g. Atlantis TV, but I'd be happy to increase entertaining level of times as good as I can. So, I rely on you for the next times - don't disappoint our audience! Don't hesitate to use epithets like "The Council of Dark Dragons..." or "The Most Evil Clan in Atlantis, the so-called CCC, is accused of heavy crimes to fly over 6 hexes without winged horses! - - The population of Atlantis is asked to punish every such flying unit!" Otherwise, nobody will read our correspondence, which means we'll have to change to the borring direct communication, a certainly less exciting thing. I hope you have fun with the stolen winged horse. This partially solves my problem to get rid of so many winged horses, so feel free to steel them, whenever you see. If you have in mind some particular hexes, where it's especially convinient for you to steel them, let me know - I'll fill those hexes with many winged horses, so that your high stealth masters won't be unemployed. Maybe I can assist you offering some other items for stealing? At the end a small advice - don't steel money from CCC - you waste your time, since CCC borrows maintance from its allies and has no cash itself. Try better with items!

Despite some organizational difficulties, it appears that the large alliances present here have found a way to overcome their distrust of one another long enough to have formed a bond of friendship. These new friends could cause great concern for other groups in Atlantis, since their combined powers are quite formidable. So, while peace seems the norm here, it appears that the rest of the world is not so sure... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A mountain of CHA crushes a few poor Hill Dwarves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ************************************************************************* 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.
