Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaa.......... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ca marche pas mal ton Analyze mais ca reste perfectible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is faction 1039 again- Unusual Composers 'r' us, named after obscure classical composers. My observers in Atlantic City (motto: why bother attacking us? We're not going to attack you, and the spoils are chickenfeed- do you have a chicken?) note the increased incidence of fighting in AC since the takeover, and would like to ask the new rulers to do something about it. (Or should I take the attack on "Sucker" to have been just that, a retaliatory execution?) Please do not take offense, but please do respond (es19@cornell.edu) verbally. Please list all offlimits cities in the next few Times, for I intend to do some exploring. I know that Lautaro's inhabitants would rather I were not there, and I assure you I shall leave as soon as I can rather than compete for more entertainment money; but that's not yet. I am not entirely spineless, but I have the approximate power of an amoeba hence am acting like one. Meanwhile is there a mage in Atlantis City who would teach me? -1039 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AP News: Jaca has been liberated. The new mayor of Jaca has declared the end of the days when Jaca was a den of assassins and thieves. Any units caught attempting to steal or assassinate will be quickly executed. Honest traders are welcome to use Jaca as a center of commerce and free trade. "We are willing to work with others. We do not plan on killing everyone who does not belong to us." said the new mayor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I AM REALLY ANGRY. THE CHURCH OF THE PURPLE SNOWFLAKE KILLED THE BIRDS. They were more peacefully than you can imagine. God damn this faction and all its allies who kill such units. I will repeat it again and again until the world ends or they send me explanation. Sorry to other for that. I speak many times with this alliance called NAA and all time they were speaking about peace and harmony. DO NOT TRUST NAA. THEY ARE LIERS. Many players said that they are good. Are they really? They have not sent a line with explanation. So they only murderers. And I hate them. If only someone clean the Atlantis world from such factions. Kash'd D'g, the local corespondent of Atlantis Times, Crieff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gee, that attack in Atlantis almost succeeded. Too bad most of those troops didn't spend a turn studying COM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ With the city of Atlantis fallen, what is to stop these "newbie" factions from trying to take over? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The new web site for Atlantis is being prepared.

The creatures wandering around and attacking scouts are a minor problem, but mages have been happy, since they are good allies and bodyguards for them. Lets see, if the mages a quick enough, before those creatures are killed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well, just want to tell you guys I had some fine and friendly talks with AMI. They're basically a good bunch of guys and I haven't had any trouble with them. I just hope this little squirmish boy repeating the same message over and over would behave the same. Well, next time I'm gonna attack him I'll ask AMI for support. The Pizza Shop ------------------------------------------------------------------------ After last turns Mistakes we will not let that happen twice. Beware for we come for you ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Leader finally figured out what went wrong, it was the General's fault off with his head. Lets see if the next in command can do any better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fighting soldiers from the sky.... Schools out, the crap is about to hit the fan. The Sky opened up and 500 troops marched through. I love the smell of carnage in the Morning. It smells of VICTORY! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As the troops all lined up for thier final shots, prior to movement, they seemed in good spirits. The morale is high we will do it this time. There will be no retreat and NO SURRENDER! The Infantry is the first to fight, and will hold the ground at all costs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ When will this winter end. I have been cooped up in this stinky hut for 2 months already. Can anybody suggest some good books? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Dark Assassins have made another kill. We will be visiting your neighborhood soon. Don't worry if you never see them, you won't. Take care. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ After last turns Mistakes we will not let that happen twice. Beware for we come for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What's happening in A2 these days? It seems the big alliance wars are all pettered out and now noone's doing anything. It reminds me of that "in between time" in most Fantasy Sequals... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why should a great white shark be able to attack a balloonist? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gee, didn't know my own strength.... Some lucky timing didn't hurt either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What's this - PEACE? What happened to the war that was brewing - the bloodbath, the bashing of giant armies into one another, the lopping off of limbs and screams of the disemboweled? The sheer pleasure of reading the battle reports and seeing your enemies losing more troops than you are? Oh, diplomacy! I guess this is a better way to go, but a part of one's soul seems to cry out for a different solution... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Can anyon tell me if you are able to capture enemy ships while at sea. I have yet to experience this event, so I am very curious, as to what can be gained. Please reply to mckinnd@dpi.qld.gov.au PS. To everyone who tried to write to me this week, sorry my email was down for most of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are the PCP dead or did Jaca fall by itself? Another war torn journalist searching for the meaning of life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It is in the authors opinion that the town of Alghero (38,1) should be renamed to something that documents the amount of PCP blood that was shed there. The author would also like to know who is fighting in that area. Is it the ROR back on their own or have they come in with partners. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Youpi it's restarting, magic flowrish again...and again under my steps ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ooo ooooo ooooo ooooooooooooo `88. .888' `888' 8' 888 `8 888b d'888 888 888 8 Y88. .P 888 888 888 8 `888' 888 888 888 8 Y 888 .o. 888 .o. 888 .o. o8o o888o Y8P o888o Y8P o888o Y8P 5 The Magic Items Traders are proud to announce the opening of his new shop in Atlantis City.

Shop (in Arlon) =============== Wagons : 120 Longbow : 50 Crossbow : 50 Herbs : 25 Contact our rep on atlantis@forsyth.demon.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================================= ** ATTENTION PEOPLE OF ATLANTIS CITY : The city has fallen! ** -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Newbie People's Republic (NPR) will be taking over and running the city as of this turn. Rules ----- All factions within the walls of Atlantis City will be safe from harm as long as you can abide by the following guidelines : * No attacks on other factions! - Any attacks within the city will be dealt with MOST SEVERELY. - Do not attack other units or you will be massacred before you have the chance to flee from your actions. (ATTACK comes before MOVE) - Atlantis City is a haven for new factions so no harm should befall any faction whilst within the walls of the city. - The NPR are effectively taking over the role of the city guard. * Stealling and Assassinations are NOT to be tolerated. - Covert Operations such as stealling and assassination attempts will result in the immediate expulsion of that faction from the Haven that is Atlantis City. - Failure to remove yourself from the city will result in SEVERE punishment. - The NPR has its own wing of Covert Operatives, so any such action seen by our Observers will result in the CO's becoming active! - We have eyes all over the city - we know who you are!!! * Factions giving us any cause for suspicion will be asked to immediately cease operations, or will again be under SEVERE punishment. - Any factions developing armed forces within the walls of the city without authorisation, will be contacted and politely informed of their obligation to City-wide harmony. Any breach in this rule will again result in immediate expulsion or SEVERE punishment. - We are imposing a limit of 20 HEL maximum that may be trained in any of the combat skills ; Combat, Longbow, or Crossbow. * Factions employing sorcery must NOT use their talents for unlawful gains. - Using your talents for combat or theft will not be tolerated. - Sorcerer's, Wizards, Witches and Magi will be asked if they need any assistance, and how they could be of use to the NPR. Sponsorship MAY be an option! All factions will be unharmed so long as they abide by the rules laid down above. Faction Allowances ------------------ The NPR are now controlling the income of the City, so we have to impose restrictions on Work Forces. All factions in AC are hereby restricted to a maximum of 50 HEL as a work-force, although certain factions will be permitted to have a minor excess of this allowance. We have decided that 50 High Elves are more than enough for most faction types. All factions, regardless of faction type, will be restricted to this amount. [Any more than this limit will attract our attention and possible displeasure]. Some factions may be employing a couple of Magic Users, but they will require no more than 48 High Elves to maintain their Magi, and these troops can be trained as and when necessary to meet your own ends. (Generic factions require only 24 HEL to maintain a Mage) (Magic Combination factions require only 48 HEL to maintain their Magi) The only exceptions to the rule may lie in the Pure Magic Factions. In order to maintain 5 Mages, the High Elf resources needed amount to 120 HEL. However, we cannot permit such a large work force to be assembled whilst in Atlantis City. We are hoping that those factions will help us come to an agreement over their excesses in resources, and their possible future within the city! Atlantis City Services ---------------------- * Atlantis Spells Exchange will continue under provision by the NPR. This is a founding idea by Jiri Klouda of Zarya Guilde, but unfortunately has ceased as of late. - Newbies should still be allowed the free exchange of information originally provided by Jiri Klouda and the Atlantis Spells Exchange. The NPR will continue this service in the future. Contact the Admin staff for requests of spells. Currently available spells are : Enchant Wagon Enchant Swords Shadow Jump Shadow Sight Bear Strength Detect Faction Fireflash Bless Forest Curing Create Portal Create Gloves of Strength Create Helm of Observation Create Wand of Fire Create Pick of Mining Create Potion of Healing * The Guild (998) has taken over the production of magic items, originally started by Circulo Interno (MIT Magic Items). These items can still be purchased from Andre van Dalen by contacting : targon!andre@relay.NL.net - Magical items are a lucrative business, and we at the NPR believe that business should be permitted to flow, where-ever it may be, so we are backing Andre in his endeavours to sell his wares. * United Portal Service (UPS) will also be continuing operations for as long as there is demand. As it is Mack of the NPR who is running this service, then service will continue. - Querries and Bookings can be arranged through Dave "Mack" McGaw on u3djm@csc.liv.ac.uk - Possible sabatical may be arising over the next few turns due to other commitments (other than UPS) so keep tabs on the Times, as changes are imminent! Atlantis City College --------------------- * Other Scholars. The NPR would like to see a College emerge from the City Guard debris, and we were wondering if there is anyone in AC willing and able to set up a school of learning for the Martial Arts, Magic Foundations, or Tradesman's Skills. The main operations of the Principal, will be to refer students to relevant teachers, and arrange payments! All wanna-be Principals, please contact the Admin Staff. Entertainment and Fireworks --------------------------- Every four months (game time) will see the NPR giving a Fireworks display to the populous. All entertainers are invited to abstain from duty for this turn and lie back to enjoy the display. The other three turns are free for the Entertainers to do what they will to keep the populous amused. Again, prevention of allowing the display to reap its full benefits will incur our displeasure! Unfortunately the NPR currently has too many commitments to provide a display at present, so all entertainers are invited to continue amusing the populous until the decree of the display is made. Again, keep watching the Times! Admin Staff ----------- Any querries can be rectified by contacting any of the Admin Staff of the NPR : Dave "Mack" McGaw u3djm@csc.liv.ac.uk Pete Futtrup pf@x.dtu.dk or 1910pf@fiol.nbrock.dk 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 all grievances with the Dominion are now washed clean, as operations in AC 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.) Thank You for Reading, and have an enjoyable stay! ========================================================================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ##################################################### ***************************************************** UNITED PORTAL SERVICE "Things are looking UPS" - new catchphrase!

The sailor rushed up, breathless. "There's a storm coming in." "It's the beginning of the monsoon," mused Seldarin. "We had better leave now. Is the ship ready?" "They're finishing loading supplies right now," replied the sailor. "Tell them to hurry up. We'll leave ahead of the storm and follow the coast northeast. That will keeps us out of the tropics and ahead of the storm." Not long after the ship, small but trim, set sail, beginning its epic journey -- an attempt to circumnavigate the cylinder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nu har jag maanga dvaergar! Och fler blir det! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TRANSVESTITE TINA - PART III / III The poor old man boldly faced the monster. He looked kindly in her eyes, but he saw no response there. He had a gun, with which he shot her, but she didn't bleed, she didn't even bother. Because her veins contained no liquid, she was undead, and she had to live with it. But the man eventually got pissed, and revealed himself as an excorcist. He eternally banned her from the terrestial shore. Transvestite Tina was no more. /Hangman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OLYMPIC MEDAL AGAIN! Aren't we great? Perhaps I can trade it for another 50 sil? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Voila! Only the research left to do, then I'm off to never never land... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NICE PROTECTION WE'VE IN AC.... WE WON'T BE KILLED BY OTHERS 'COS THEY WILL KILL US: In the previous turn, as result of having a delay on my previous one turn orders, my faction (Alf's Boys (829)) attacked the CITY GUARDS in Atlantis City (no other factions units... just the guards unit) (BTW, the unit was on guard, so the actual AC rulers were not ables of taxing AC if the unit exists, so i was helping them by killing the unit). Well, i just killed the guards in the city (unit 1).. as the battles report shows clearly... : Battles during turn: Elven workers 1 (5149) attacks Unit (1) in Atlantis City (-,-)! Attackers: Elven workers 1 (5149), 7 high elves. Defenders: Unit (1), leader. Round 1: Elven workers 1 (5149) loses 0. Unit (1) loses 1. Unit (1) is routed! Total Casualties: Unit (1) loses 1. Elven workers 1 (5149) loses 0. Spoils: . No spoils or wins... just killing the city guards. This last turn, without being told anything, that is what i've found in my turn report: Battles during turn: Captain Morhok (76) attacks Entertainer 1 (12515) in Atlantis City (-,-)! YEAH!! THE ONES WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DEFENDING THE REST OF FACTIONS IN ATLANTIS CITY WERE ATTACKING MY UNIT IN AC!!!

We'll stop producing items directly as we done, but we'll continue having production too. The troops teaching will also continue.

Hello boys and girls. Today, I want to talk to you about honor. Just what exactly is honor? Honor is never lying to a friend or enemy, treating them as you your self wish to be treated. Honor on the battlefield involves never killing someone from behind the back, but always after a challenge has been issued and the noble warriors have agreed to disagree. So, now it's question and answer time. Is it honorable to kill an unarmed man? No, boys and girls, it's not. Is suicide honorable? No, boys and girls, it's not. Is it honorable to spread lies or untruths? No, boys and girls, it's not. Ok, now the tough one: Does honor apply to Atlantis? Have all members of the neighborhood been honorable towards one another? Take as much time as you like. But now, it's time for me to go. Until next time, so long. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alas, the giant has killed off my mage! Now I'll have to deal with it rather than just ignore it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want to have a fast car? Want to mine more iron than your neighbour?

Due to the pigeon infiltration program instigated by the glorious PCP in Jaca, the carrier pigeons flew to their true home and notified the generals of the imminent attack. The blizzard dropped and out charged the beseiged although outnumbered they believed suprise was on their side. They were right. They were suprised when they were outflanked and wiped out.

Despite early gains made through the superior tactics of the Buffoon commander, Funny Odge4 Rebouteux, the feared Jokerwabbs units were ultimately surrounded and decimated. * The city of Dremmer was evacuated as the Jokomicalaughunny invaders approached; a company of Jokerwabbs swiftly advanced to take control of the city, in conjunction with fifth columnists and city guard sympathizers who emerged after the reduction of Dremmer's garrison. A company of knights proclaimed themselves the Order of Dremmer and vowed not to rest until the city was liberated. * In the far reaches of Karothea, Rethel was reoccupied, found to be strangely empty by colonial army units which entered the town expecting heavy resistance. But, it seemed the Buffoons had teleported away to evade retribution. BUSINESS * Spokesmen for Dendarin's Generic Manufacturing expressed concern that exploration units of the Kingdom of Prettstern had laid claim to lands on the northeast border of the Praestbygd Realm. It is thought that Prettstern's borders now completely encompass the land frontiers of Praestbygd. * High level talks between the Foreign Ministry and the Picts were conducted regarding the disposition of various forests around Monzon, where the finest woods on the continent were once harvested. Negotiations were complicated by Prettstern's war footing against the Pagans and the famine afflicting southern Pictland. * Despite economic expansion by the Melniboneans and the merchant house of Rufus, much of Orrebygd's natural resources remain entirely unexploited. Opportunities for a reliable trade faction abound. * Sailors are sought to crew various vessels constructed on the shores of the kingdom, in order to create a merchant marine.

If you want to talk....... mail me at izzie@meepmeep.demon.co.uk. If anyone else wants to attack an unarmed unit during winter on a mountain... ....*shrug* don't blame me if you suffer casulties. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just a note to say we're all OK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just a note to say we're all OK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The attack has gone badly. Once again an attempt to coordinate an assault from two different hexes has failed. Our armys were divided and defeated. Now we will pick up the pieces and rebuild. However, more and more evidence indicates that factions are fleeing for another world. Slowly the list of factions gets smaller. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* THE BACKSTABBER NEVER WIN ********** After 102 Undead Rangers last month, 257 Cowardly Llamas died this month, under a powerful assault from the Tristes Ames (TA) Alliance. They shouldnt have backstabbed us. We TA were their friends, and they attacked us without notice two turns ago. Their army has now been wiped out. Two Conlusions: 1. Never trust the Undead Rangers and the Llamas; 2. Never attack the TA Alliance. ;-) *********************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ********* THE BACKSTABBER NEVER WIN ********** After 102 Undead Rangers last month, 257 Cowardly Llamas died this month, under a powerful assault from the Tristes Ames (TA) Alliance.

Many were killed, but senior Imperial Mages on hand for the event quickly resurrected the dead. The young mage was punished by the Imperial Mage Academy for his actions, but sources close to the scene say that senior mages privately complimented the youthful wizard on his creativity and "ability to maximize effect with minimum application of the arcane arts." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shattering shocks of change now cascade through the streets of the City. Brother slays brother, and bitter rivals turn on each other like rabid dogs. This seems but the beginning, and those far and near may soon feel the ripping tide as the walls come tumbling down...
