ATLANTISv2 atl-players-digest #128

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)

The subject just about says all. I'd like obs training in Jaca for this turn
(yes I know it's late, but there you are...
My unit is at level 1 obs, so i need level 2 or higher. Just one slot
needed.
First come, first served. any normal training fee accepted. To save time, as
it's late, if you want to train me, I'm faction 749, and the unit to be
trained is unit 4166. Declare me friendly, and tell me what unit you want
the payment to go to, also tell me your faction number so that i can declare
you friendly aswell...

I believe there are helms of observation for sale in atlantis. I'll want one
next turn, so send me offers!

Yours, John. House of Marta, Faction 749

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

1)  If I understand, aren't you supposed to get a confirmation message
now when you submit your orders?  Or am I confused?

2)  Somebody just posted that they wanted a Helm of Obs in AC, but I
deleted the message by accident.  Can you contact me, as I have one and
need to feed my starving children.

Hi everyone! I've sent a message requesting training for this turn in OBS 2
in Jaca, and so far have had no answers, so if you're training, and have
free slots, please mail me!!!

Yours, John. House of Marta, Faction 749.

Thought it would be summit like that, just thought I could play on the syntax
of the rules a little to wangle extra moves.

Bit strange though.  If a mage could fly OVER the terrain type, he wouldn't beaffected by it, would he???

This is unfortunately a great idea and non-feasible at the same time.  I
figure that you have to account for WHERE the mage will END UP on the conclusion
ofhis movement turn.  If it is water .... glug glug glug!  This may be why the terrain types are in effect for flying units also.

Thanks for the clear up there, Charlie.

Regards as ever
