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.

This is just a broad questions and will not require any specific anwsers if people do not want to give away any of their good found secrets, but the questions is this: Are there any spells other than create Tree Men That allow you to summon other creatures, for you to use. Reply to cjh@ecr.mu.oz.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alright dammit! Who woke those damn assassins from their oh so harmless slumber? Hell, look what happened last time they got to squawking ... Jaca razed, numerous factions restarted, brother stabbing brother. More lives were lost trying to root out those cowardly bastards than they actually assassinated in the first place! Give me a break. I lost several valuable leaders to some well-meaning idiot who though he'd spotted some so-called assassin. Just get yourselves a couple of high OBS scouts and shut the hell up! Sheesh! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hey PCP . . . . . . I piss in your rum! Nyah nyah! Can't catch me! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roy quaffed another glass of rum, wiped his mouth and resisted the impulse to break into song. He had vowed never to break into song for less than 50 pieces of silver, and where was he to get that in this dive? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHECK OUT THE NEW GLOBAL TRADING COMPANY WEB SITE at http://lux.latrobe.edu.au/~phtcdah Feel free to link it to any other A2.0 pages out there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oooh, Its getting exciting ! 400 heavily armed and sweaty men in one place Who will break first ? Who will yield under the enormous pressure ? It'd better be them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The world is a hostile place with no room for error. I wonder if I made mine by joining in? Or will others make their mistake in interfering with my peaceful life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VICTORY IN THE CDA CASE! -- Excerpts from the decision "As the most participatory form of mass speech yet developed, the Internet deserves the highest protection from government intrusion." "Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects." "Any content-based regulation of the Internet, no matter how benign the purpose, could burn the global village to roast the pig." For more info... http://www.cdt.org/ciec/index.html "It is quite unlawful to demand, defend, or to grant unconditional freedom of thought, or speech, of writing or worship, as if these were so many rights given by nature to man." [Pope Leo XIII, "Great Encyclical Letters",16] "No one has an idea really of where we should draw the line. What about the Bible? Every nut who kills people has a Bible lying around. If you're looking for violent rape imagery, the Bible's right there in your hotel room. If you just want to look up ways to screw people up, there it is, and you're justified because God told you to. You have Shakespeare and you have Sophocles--what are we going to do, lose _Oedipus Rex_ if someone pokes an eye out?"

EVERYONE CAUGHT DWELLING THERE WITHOUT BEING GRANTED WILL BE DEAD ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is ISN with Cynthia Tornquist reporting, in the past few days Marvin the Martian has been in the news quite a bit, but today we are going to talk about his mentor, friend and master Malleous Martian a.k.a. LEADER. It seems that he has returned to town and is quite distressed about what his student has done in his abscence. We cornered him today to ask him some questions and once he stopped beating our cameraman, Neil, he did give us some answers. Here is the footage now..... " Malleous... Malleous.... Where have you been and what do you think about what Marvin has done while you were away??? " " Well, the answer to the first question is none of your damn business. As for the second questiion, Marvin and I have had several talks about his lack of control when he gets angry. I guess I'll have to track him down and talk to him again. " " You mean to tell me that after all the people he has killed and the destruction he has caused all that you are going to do is TALK to him ?!!!? " " What would you have me do? Go down there and risk my life trying to bring him to jail ?!!? You know the city has people to take care of things like this. I am willing to talk some sense into him and get him to turn himself in but I will NOT try to force him to do anything! Furthermore, if your guards had started shooting at him he wouldn't have been angry enough to tear them apart and knock that chopper out of the air. By the way, how is that reporter and the pilot. " " We found the wreckage of the helicopter in a schoolyard on the outskirts of town. The pilot was dead and Edison is in ICU, the doctors aren't sure if he'll make it or not. You realize that the city officials are going to take steps to make sure this doesn't happen again. The reports say that they are going to use as much force as necessary to bring Marvin to justice. " ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks AMI, for smashing the Black Alliance in such a beautiful way. I really liked it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stop the WEENING, HOUSE OF MARTA! Helping a dominant evil alliance as the PCP with weapons is acceptable. Who would not if they were to be crunched elseways. But what you seem to have forgotten is a battle a few months ago, where the defenders were very few innocent traders and/or entertainers. The PCP decided to kill those poor souls. And I will certainly not forget the Cyber Scout that was aiding the 5000 PCP soldiers slaughtering those combat0 fellows. A Cyber Scout that later turned out to be owned by YOU! So, House of Marta, why should you complain when you get paid for your dirty work? You get what you deserve, scum! The HartDale Gigants (854) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Rufus!', the slave shouted. 'Yeah?', the successor answered. 'What's up?' The slave waited a while, before he said: 'We've found out how to make mithil armors!' 'Great! Start the work, then!' 'There's one little problem', the slave shivered. 'We ain't got no mithril.' Rufus sighed and ordered the slave to get lost. Where should the Gang get their lovely hands on mithril? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Seasons change, winter falls to spring, spring blooms into summer, summer is shadowed by autumn, and autumn descends again into cold winter nights. A cycle of life, it turns, stoppping for none, moving ever onward. There was one, called the Black Rose who flowered throughout these seasons. Her deeds were not heroic, nor legend, but they were known. The first of her companions fell to the onslaught of a fledgling allegiance. The impact on her was tremendous. She went into seclusion, and the woman of shadows was not heard from for sometime. The Rose surfaced again, more powerful than before, a master of the silent step, with a deadly keen eye, seemingly marked for the path of an assassin. Someone turned her from that path, however. His name is unknown. It is said that her love for him was the turning point in her life, and that this love kept her from walking the darker path. The Rose and her consort have been sited from time to time, on the streets of Atlantis, darting from doorstep to doorstep, in and out of shadows. But they are wild, and becoming wilder, their actions chaotic of nature. It is unknown what unseen pull lead them to the path for which they are now reknown... From the Chronicles of the Black Rose ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear friends! Civilian Construction Corps (CCC) is going to reveal its units. Everybody is welcome to use its production! We are especially interested in locations of yew, floater_hides, mithril, ironwood and rootstone. If any War or Magic faction knows any location, we can produce this for it. Best regards, Gandalf. All offers to dz@cplx.ruhr-uni-bochum.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Friends! Warmest regards sends to You the new ruler of Civilian Construction Corps -- CCC (369)! The old conflicts will be forgotten forever and all suggestions for cooperations are welcome. If You ever had bad relations with CCC or feel offended by its past, I'm ready to cover Your previous losts with any kind of production You like in order to prove my friendly position. CCC has a large trade net all over the world and specializes in all kinds of production. All factions are welcome to cooperate with us! Best regards, Gandalf the Researcher, the New Speaker of CCC. Please, all remarks, suggestions, complains, offers, threatens ... to dz@cplx.ruhr-uni-bochum.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bored at sea, I feel compelled to write, lest I die of enui. Ah, my spirits rise already. A weary sea traveller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is anyone still out there on the Players list? The time is near for the Mass exodus to A-3, who will emerge as the new super Alliance? I think all bets are off and A-2 will go into a war frenzy. We are getting our forces ready for just such an adventure. We have our eyes on some land that open expect for a few units who will be removed. We come for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We have finally studied to Lum 5 and what do we find Yew that most precious of wood. I would tell you what hex we found it in, but then we would probably have to fight a war over it. No we will keep it for ourselves and make the RifleBows. I wish those troops would hurry up and get to level 5. Thats all for now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We have finally after many twists and turns been able to get our first, completed, ship into the water. Now we will find out what else is out there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am calling all of the Generals, they have to get those troops in shape for this next winter campaign. When we do go we won't have to walk or ride stinking horses. It seems we have plenty of places to choose from for our attack. The PCP is being taken apart at the seams, now that thier Mages were all but destroyed. They seem to be really quiet lately. Where's all of the articles about Pirates eating Romans cooked over an open flame? I guess they are all in hiding. In other News the IUN has declared WAR on the INS, of course they don't need to declare war they just attack anyone whenever they feel like it. Then claim that it was thier land in the first place. I guess they claim all of Atlantis, because it doesn't seem to matter if someone is living there, they just Attack! Maybe enough factions will get together and put an end to this upstart Alliance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I feel like all there is to do is study, study, and study somemore, then worry about who is going to show up on your doorstep next turn. Hardly anything is talked over since the discovery of the portal and the Portal Jump spells. If you see a new unit you waste them as quickly as possible, no questions, just whack them. Kills the use of the Shadow jump spell. But the mages will prevail once we get the Armaggedon spell, maybe we will be able to have peace with that threat hanging over the warring alliances heads. Or we will just issue the Following statement: Make sure you complete everything that you wanted to do next turn for the world is going to end, watch the fireworks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Faction 369, since you seem to have a lack of war factions in the hex that you are recruiting winged horses, I will raise up a couple of taxers to provide you with your maintenance that is required. In return I ask for 3 winged horses to be provided to the taxing unit. We can negoiate a price for the remaining horses. Make me an offer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The world seems to have become a hollow and empty place, the dozen factions in my area dropped to only 3! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cromarty (AP) - INS Puts on Poker Face In the often violent world of Atlantis, a good poker face can be a valuable asset. And the situation this month in the city of Cromarty is much like a high-stakes poker game, in which more than just silver is on the table. Both the Institute of New Science (INS) and the Imperial Union of Nairn (IUN) have moved substantial forces into the city. Now, the two commanding generals face off, neither one trying to give the other any clues as to whether they are holding the right cards. Caught in the middle is the present ragtag city guard, which has made it quite clear that they wish the INS would just fold their hand, cut their losses, and get out of town. The populace too seems to be rooting for the IUN, knowing full well that IUN citizenship would mean happier times for them. However, many shopkeepers and homeowners seem wary about the presence of so many Imperial Mages. One owner of a farmer's market summarized their concern, "We've heard the stories of the awesome power of the IUN wizards... roaring fireballs, lightning from the sky, and whole armies falling dead with blood spilling from their ears... we just hope that those IUN boys can control their power well enough that they don't take out half of the city along with those fools from the INS." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ George realized that the faction he was facing no longer had a leader. Why was this happening , does this all have something to due with the rumors of a new world? He began to worry about what might happen to him if his leader left ... would he just fade into oblivion like some many others had? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha You killed me!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A.B.R Offers The A.B.R.

He quickly opened the top, looking to see the cause. The portal got very hot, and blindingly white. He dropped it quickly and averted his eyes. Suddenly, tens of elves, dwarves, and tribesmen poured forth from an extradimensional doorway which was not present moments ago. He looked around at the newcomers with a nervous stare. Not recognizing any by name, he made the secret gesture confirming that he was part of the organization. The intruders looked at each other with a quizzical look on their faces. They suddenly broke out in laughter. Tam didn't see what was so funny. He needed to clean his shorts.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greetings!

However, many of you who have been living in Atlantis since its creation will know of me - and if you have forgotten then you will be punished and will not gain salvation into the paradise known as Wimbledon Common. To those devoted followers of mine, you may have wondered where I have been. Well, I will tell you, I have been on a pilgrimage. A pilgrimage to spread my mighty word - and believe me, my word is very very might indeed. On my pilgrimage I realised that all of the inhabitants of Atlantis were sick and depraved and so were not even worthy of their mortal shell that held their spirit. So I destroyed a few of their shells (known to the stupid and foolish as bodies) and found that I enjoyed it a hell of a lot. So I bring news of my greatest feat of spiritual Womble power. I am on a crusade. I have been away amassing all of my loyal followers and have had them trained in the ways of the Womble. Now my plan is coming to fruition, and one by one all of you will be either converted or destroyed. Each city will fall and become a shrine to the Womble. This is the dawn of a new age - the new age of the Womble, led by myself, the truely Great (and some say slightly mad) and Powerful Omnipotent TOMSK of the Wombles.

There is no land left to be discovered in Atlantis 2. I started this game many years ago with the sole intent to scout the entire world, and now my goal is accomplished. 80% is water. Too bad, but it made for easy sailing. Now there is nothing left to do and so I shall move on to ATL 3. I wonder how big that land is going to be? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, who is left in A2? Do I still have enemies? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 50! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oh yes, it's time for a break. Your break. From this world. See you in the next. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DRAKULL TEACHING AND TRADING (237) ON HOLLIDAYS. Well, i won't have too many time during summer 'cos that's when i'm working, so i will stop most of the teaching i'm doing 'cos i'll do my turns more or less without seeing my e-mail (i'll just take the turn and adding the orders without seeing any other e-mail). By this reason, i'll be also preparing some leader units with levels 5 that will be sold after summer to other factions instead teaching their leaders those skills (they will probably use them for teaching their units after that) or for preparing a permanent teaching hexe (where those units will be permanently teaching). I haven't decided about it yet. Regards and have a nice summer hollidays. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- Commercial Announcement -------------- Advertising Support for Rent !
