ATLANTISv2 atl-players-digest #72

I thought I was going to get thousands of responses asking me
to keep this digest (maybe I just wanted to massage my ego ;-))
But I received enough responses, so I'll keep the digest going.

Regarding all these unsubscriptions, I`d like to know what happens
during the summer hols? Quite a number of us are Uni or College
students, and I can`t be the only one who is going to be unable to
access his Uni account during the hols, or is going to have it
removed.

Are we still going to have turns every week, or are you going on
hols too? If not, will you prolong the "4 turns missed and drop out rule,
or what is going to happen?

Geoff??

Regards,

Michael.

Welcome Citizens of Spakker!

The Surwegian Cartel welcomes you to to the bottom of
	the world and wishes you health, happiness, and long life.

We are currently a 7 faction alliance composed of mages,
	warriors, and traders, who represent over half the population
	of Spakker, and we've come to carve out a fief in this new
	land. It is our intention to occupy the two hexes North and
	NorthWest of the city this turn. We are eager to avoid any
	conflict over this but prepared to deal effectively with any
	unnecessary competition should this unfortunate situation arrise.
	Uninvited visitors, spies, and thieves will be roughly handled.

Nevertheless, we hope to pursue friendly relations with all
	our neighbors and would be pleased to speak with one and all.

We especially urge mages and traders to contact us to discuss
	the benifits of mutual exchange. We have many skills and spells
	that we would be happy to share with you. Please contact:
	vlatimer@hilbert.maths.utas.edu.au  in this regard.

Furthermore, we are considering running a Spakker/Yakleks area
	group alias so as to enhance local communication. If you would
	like to be added to this alias please mail me at:
	swater@glob.com  with the subject: Spakker alias.

You may also contact our alliance by mailing to surway@glob.com.

We greatly look forward to making your aquaintence and wish you longlife
and good health in the days to come.

Sincerely,

The Surwegian Cartel

The game goes on. I can't schedule the game around everyone's schedule,
as there would hardly ever be a turn run!

Your options:

1) Find a friend to run your faction for you. Or at least submit orders
every week.
2) Scrounge up an account to play from. Failing any "free" account, you
can get one from pretty much anywhere in the US, sometimes as cheap as
5-10 dollars a month. For Atlantis, all you need is email, nothing fancy.
This of course assumes that you have a computer and modem. I don't know
anything about other countries, though if you're in a big city, you can
probably find something.
3) Quit and restart later.

Geoff

Just point out to you that the world is a bipolar sphere and as such
when its winter in the northern hemisphere its summer in the
southern. Accordingly our 'hols' are also at quite different times to
yours. Shall we stop the game twice per year?

Greetings Fellow Players,

Understanding your problems, going away on holidays etc. I offer my help.

I'm willing to mail your orders for you, if you write'em in advance and
mail'em to me with 'ORDERS [faction-#], [month]' in the subject line. Then
it's up to you whether or not I'll get  your turn-reports for the period.

This is a highly altruistic offer since I've already got plenty of stuff to
do, so spare me the suggestions that I might abuse your faith in me for two
reasons:

1) If I where to mess things up, I would have to know where your units are
and what their skill are. That means a turn-report (which I really don't
want having more than enough mail to go through every day).

2) It would make me VERY unpopular in the game. So nobody would trust me and
most people would very easy see a reason to hunt me. Now who would want
that?

The only reason there should be for me to receive your turn-reports would be
so that I could handle emergencies for you. YES! - It would give me a lot of
information, but on the other hand it might just save your factions butt,
while you're busy having fun somewhere else.
Besides it will mean a LOT!!! of extra work for me, so I really would like
not to receive'em.

Now I know that the most of you will be able to make some kind of
arrangements to help you get through the summer, but for those without any
alternative my offer stands, so drop me a note if you need my help.

Kind regards,

Steen
