That was my mistake. You can't do two month-filling commands at once, and study and work are certainly that, but i didn't think work was a command, just an event. silly me. -faction 753 ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 4 Jul 1995 12:07:41 +1200 (NZST) From: Stephen Mosen <semosen@wright.stats.govt.nz> Subject: ATLANTIS - Taking it with me Atlantis City is too crowded for me, I'm off to see the world...

Date: Tue, 4 Jul 1995 13:08:34 +0800 (WST) Greetings, Atlantis players. I'm told that an exit to Navenby has opened up from Atlantis City. I've been in Navenby for a while now, and I've developed the surrounding areas. Navenby is in Saklebille, so it will be Winter for the next few months. It is surrounded on three sides by ocean, and by swamp on the other three. I strongly suggest that you do not move to Navenby. You will be stuck in the swamps during Winter (if you have horses, that is). Come Summer, a couple of hundred of my combat3 troops will arrive and sack the Town. Basically, Navenby is a dead-end prospect. But if you do come to Navenby, make sure you claim all your silver and carry it with you :) Faction 44, Mutant Black Robes, of the PCP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adrian Smith adrian@per.dms.csiro.au ---------------------------------------------------------- From: Niclas Olofsson <m93nol@student.tdb.uu.se> Date: Tue, 4 Jul 1995 09:57:20 +0200 Subject: Re: Changes To Faction Rules [Long] Jiri Klouda wrote: ->>>What about having a "Shadow Gate" instead of one of the exits in ->>>Atlantis City?

Because the spell "Shadow Jump" was invented and put into the game before people started to think it would be better to go into the world at a randomly determined place. Alternatively, the spell is in no way a contradiction to the idea of random starting points. It's only fair that a mage can learn how to teleport himself away from danger or to some hopefully new, unexplored part of Atlantis.

Several of my friends and/or allies have the same problems right now, and as I`m spending my hols close to an e-mail account, I`ll also be taking over some other factions for a period of 2-3 weeks. Possibly, some people will try and use this as an opportunity for cheating, (it wouldn`t surprise me :-(), but currently, there is no other way for a faction to satisfactorily survive being on Hols.
