Atlantis 2.0: Times 67 From: Geoff Dunbar <gdunbar@prankster.com> Date: Thu, 08 Aug 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Subject: Atlantis 2.0: Times 67 Atlantis 2.0 Times July, 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oops... I completely forgot to run the Atlantis 2.0 turn on Wednesday. I apologize profusely for this; I'm a bit embarrassed by this whole thing. I'll probably set Atlantis 2.0 up to run automatically, so this sort of thing doesn't happen again. 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just a note to say we're all OK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ And a voice shouts: "Stop the killing in Atlantis City!" I think I'll flee... (Hope that's still possible :( ) Is anyone interested enough in classical music to want an explanation of my faction title and unit names? Well, third and last topic- looking to enter into alliances with similarly weak, not aggressive (yes I'm war/magic but it will be years of .real. time before I could be in a position to .start. a fight and expect to survive; and I'm not suicidal) factions just for mutual interest. (Since my first faction got demolished after allying with the soon-to-be victim of a rout, though, I'm doing this gingerly... and if you own a region I'm in and would rather I not do any allying, talk with me...) es19@cornell.edu Faction 1039 Unusual Composers 'r' Us ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Howdy pardners!

After nearly a month of travel along the coast, the Magellen had finally entered open sea, and land was rapidly fading into the distance. Unexplored seas lay ahead. It was shocking how near to the coast they began. Heading due east would keep him out of the tropics and avoid the monsoons, but would send him directly into unknown territory. He put no credence in the tall tales of sea serpents and mermaids, but an undiscovered land mass could always cut their journey short. East it would be, though. At least he could fill the blank spot on the map. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Atlantis 3 is so much better than Atlantis 2. Why are there still people playing Atlantis 2? Surely they could afford $1 a week for a far superior game..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Det gaar bra! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE PRETTSTERN FREE PRESS HEADLINES * Prettsterni army units spearheaded by the newly proclaimed Knights of Dremmer launched a counteroffensive against the Jokomicalaughunny Buffoons. Despite the best efforts of Buffoon commander Chapeau, the Jokerwabbs occupying the city of Dremmer were swept away by the sheer numbers of Prettsterni troops. * The king, at the advice of his foreign minister, rejected the peace terms offered by the Buffoons, under which the Buffoons demanded recognition of their claims to Dremmer in return for peace. Following the king's announcement, Buffoon spokesmen vowed that no city would be safe from the predations of the Jokomicalaughunny assassins and teleporting strike forces. Security measures were increased across the realm in anticipation of renewed buffoonist activity. * Several pro-city guard coup attempts in various cities around the kingdom were put down by garrison troops. Count Dryck, lord of one of the affected towns, declared that the kingdom would always need to be prepared for the possibility of a resurgence of the city guards. BUSINESS * Executives of the Civilian Construction Corps are in the process of negotiating production rights for a number of unexploited regions in the Kingdom of Prettstern. It is thought that the CCC plans to start operations initially in Kashmar and/or Monzon. * In Prettstern the foundations were laid for the new Royal Palace, which is planned to be an enormous edifice of marble and stone. The multithousand-silver construction contract was secured by Dendarin's Generic Manufacturing, a high growth Praestbygd-based merchant house. * Initial organizational problems plagued Eldorado Enterprise's first months of operations in Colon and Kashmar, though an Eldorado spokeswoman reaffirmed their intention to eventually expand their pilot operation to include desert quarries in the eastern parts of the Duchy of Kashmar. HIGHEST DEMAND: magic items, rifle bows, buildings MODERATE DEMAND: swords, bows, armor, horses SURPLUS: slaves, land, ships RUMORS * The Foreign Ministry is establishing several consular offices in the Praestbygd Realm in anticipation of future tourist traffic. * In an effort to encourage immigration of skilled magicians, the Exchequer has a standing offer of 2000 silver to any skilled foreign mage who relocates their base of operation to within the Kingdom of Prettstern. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A warning to the spanish guys guarding some hexes in the Waimer tundra: Unguard before the winter is over, or you will most likely perish. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If this spell doesn't work... ...I guess I have to try again next month. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are there really noone aroudn Abernethy with a horse to spare? /Rufus & The Gang (346) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anyone need sword and armor produced near Sinan? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raj looked across the horizon with his spyglass.

His advisors were quick to point out that he was merely "thinking aloud", but the Grand Master was quoted as saying "Life has been a little too easy lately. It is time to make things interesting again and cut off some of the fat. Besides, I am sick and tired of watching the pompous SCIO leadership push around its puny weight. After all, I do command over twice as many Mind Blast mages as they do, and they have probably never seen the power of dozens of Lightning Strike mages working in a coordinated assault." The SCIO was unavailable for comment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just a test of the emergency broadcast system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just a test of the emergency broadcast system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What strange fates may lurk unseen?
