ATLANTISv2 atl-players-digest #167

Errors to csd@microplex.com
Now there should be a digest whenever (a) there are 10 emails
or (b) whenever there is an email waiting for more than 48 hours
for a digest to be completed.
So don't get worried if the digest has only 1 or 2 emails, that
just means the list has been slow.
(I hope it works)

Yep! The portal service is doing fine!

I offer you $150 cash up front for a portal.

Make at your leisure, sell for a profit!

Lurvly!

Contact me if you can create a portal for me!

PS I gave a date in one of my previous mails which scared off the trade.  The
next AVAILABLE flight is not this turn, or next turn, but the turn after.
 First to book gets it!

PPS If I get no charter, then consensus will permit for the first exit from
the city... Which exit are you interested in???

We follow the example of the Republic of Rome, and if you had studied your
history, you'd know that they NEVER surrender. As regards our pillaging of
the plains, tundra and the town you have taken in Sorisdale, that was a
strategic decision made by the Senate. Hope you like it.

Where you've got the idea that we are leaving your shores, I don't know.
An entire Legion of my best stormtroopers are already on the forest
moon... (Oops, wrong movie. 8-)

YOU were the ones who invaded Sorisdale in support of the 4 who are 1, with
whom we were trying to conclude a peace treaty. That you have supported their
base treachery negates ANY honour in your words.

Regards,

The Legate,
Dragon Legions (93).
Republic of Rome.

Subject: PCP - RoR War.

The War against the PCP (Part 2 and a Half)
*******************************************************************

Legate Zack walked stolidly down the main street of the meticulously
ordered Legion encampment. He was well-satisfied with his men, the
Imperator had given him some of the Dragon Legions elite troops for
this little campaign.
  Not far away, the Legions of the Wanderers were putting up stakes
for the defense of Derwent. The suddenness of the PCP attack had
forced them to retreat from Sorisdale, but Derwent would not fall
to the invaders.
  A commotion outside the gates of the wanderers camp drew his
attention. A recently returned outpost troop was returning to camp.
And dragged behind on litters, six bodies.
  The Legate moved over to examine them. One of them was obviously
a mage - by his robes - but what disfigurement. Whatever had happened
to this one wasn't natural.
  "It's Hogli" Someone whispered, and a shiver went through the
watching ranks. The Wanderers swordmaster looked at the Legate.
  "They look as if they have been infected with some plague."
  The Legate nodded. "Burn them, lest they yet release some foul
sorcery."
  The Legate turned back to his own camp. Yes - the men required a
burning to reassure them - but he knew better.
  Just yet another sign that the PCP were very human - and not as
smart or powerful as they themselves believed.

WHoever is killing all my men, please knock it off. I only have
a few men, and I only live in a single sector of the world.

Milamber (4400) is assassinated!

And this was one of my only two mages, which I've worked on for
many months. :(

Considering I have no enemies and am no threat to anyone, can't you
just ignore me?
