Did anyone else receive a strange report that did not execute any of
their moves?  I sent two batches of orders, one Friday, one early
Sunday.  One of the two should have worked.

I'm just going to continue with the game as it is now; next
month will be March. The reason for this is that I don't
want to send out a whole bunch of new reports. So, for those
of you in the north, enjoy the early break in winter.

Seriously, what will be next month :

- Was that just an error in the reports (the Times is January), and will next
  month be the *true* February ?

- Or was that too hard a mistake to be fixed, and so we'll go on with March ?

Actually, if you make use of an Anonymous Mail Server you could have
one account and as many mail addresses as you liked. Also, if you set
up your own server and had your own domain you could do the same.

The Players List, which contains the names and email addresses of
all active factions, is posted at the Atlatis ftp site.

Its URL is:
ftp://ftp.rahul.net/pub/atlantis/players.txt

Downloading that list and searching it the fastest and most dependable
way to find a faction's address.  Whether they like it or not!

- Unit (856), Faction (587), leader.

Going by the late faction number, I would say that this is a ruse:  this
faction can neither successfully attack a unit in Atlantis City nor in any
other city that has city guards.  Unless you are *very* easily intimidated,
do not give unit 856 any silver.

Mr harvey raised some points about the lottery:
1/ If a jackpot is not one it will carry over to the next week and grow
larger.

2/ The number is picked randomly from my computer.

3/ You pick the numbers.

4/ I will be totally un-biased in the chosing of numbers.

I hope people will use this service, as I wish to promote gambling.
Thanx.

Of course, this also incurs the wrath of those players, who, like me have
been playing since turn two, and are theoretically capable of executing
such a threat. He's bound to be cutting into someone's turf, and they won't
be pleased with the reputation that all threats are hoaxes. After all,
it is far preferable in most cases for the victim to just pay rather than
risk your assassin in combat. As recent discussions say - there's always
a chance you might lose...

*IF* I was actually carrying out extortion, I might just publicly slaughter
this guy for bringing the reputation of the trade down ;-)

His only unit in Atlantis City is :

587 +* Unit (856), Faction (587), leader.

His email address is :

jose@piano.icm.uam.es

People sharing the same site (possible allies) are :

Gran Mercader & Sons (332), eloy@piano.icm.uam.es
Argonautas (464), jason@piano.icm.uam.es
Faction (587), jose@piano.icm.uam.es

They have these units in Atlantis city :

332 +* Europa (1915), Gran Mercader & Sons (332), avoiding, 3 high elves, 2
 hor
ses, wagon.
332 +* Unit (2387), Gran Mercader & Sons (332), 13 high elves.

464 +* Exploradores (2459), Argonautas (464), behind, 5 high elves.

I don't think there are more of their units with stealth - I have been
training OBS since turn two, and can see pretty much most things ;-)

Why buy one leader from you at 140$ if everyone can buy it in the City at

I think there are a lot of people who won't enjoy it !
What don't we just consider that this month is January, without
sending anything, and just say that the next one will be
Februar ??!
A lot of people made their plans according to the weather,
so why should they be wrong ?!
Let's just say we are in January, it's just that easy !

And for the role playing: consider that I've sent so many
"Happy New Year!"s in February... 8-(

Well, mest.unizar.es is the server of the university of zaragoza to his

allies and some more factions.(About 12 factions, they can control some
cityes...).
I was in contact with them, but now I'm not his allies. But I don't Know nothing
