Atlantis Times, Volume 2, Number 1 From: rwallace@cs.tcd.ie (Russell Wallace) Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1993 19:37:23 +0000 Atlantis Times, Volume 2, Number 1 ---------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Prophets have spoken... "And lo, though the Rogues shall be wiped in the dirt beneath the smelly feet of the Krishna, we shall fear no Evil, for Git is not truly Dead! Well, actually, he is _sort_ of Dead, but lo he is truly not like _totally_ dead, dudes! Let it be known that the one month after Git was ruthlessly and unjustly slain by the villainous, scurvy Krishna dogs; one month after his friends and family members had their blood spilled on the fields that they had so valiantly defended; yeah, it is written that ONE MONTH later he will return from the dead! Verily he will riseth up again and once again try to find peace and prosperity among the evils of this cruel world! "And verily I say unto you, Git shall appear as in a vision unto the wondering eyes of all his former allies-to-be, and shall ask unto them: 'My friends, I have been totally destroyed, nay obliterated! There are not words enough to describe how completely gone I am! But the spirit of peaceful fellowship for which I stand (and which the Krishna violently oppose) _cannot_ die! I hope that you have not suffered the same horrible fate that I have suffered, but if you have, I call upon you to join me in my return to the world of Atlantis this very turn! Ask the great God Russell for a chance to return; I am sure he will agree as our cause is just! Join with me this very week and perhaps this time we can ensure that we WILL NOT FAIL AGAIN!!!' And so it will come to pass that Git the Somewhat Spiffy will return, and, along with his once and future allies, will strive to ensure Peace, Freedom, and the Pursuit of Happiness to all those who desireth them. So it is written." =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DECRETO DECRETO DECRETO DECRETO DECRETO DECRETO DECRETO DECRETO DECRETO Decreto No.1, destinado a alguns portugeses...

Joy to all my brothers! Lord Krishna has guided us through a time of deep turmoil. But with his help we have thwarted the Covenant, and have taken the mountain for his children. To honor his greatness we are in the process of building the Phallic Temple for all to see his beauty. But Lord Krishna urges us to expand so all the peasants of Atlantis can enjoy eternal peace. Lord Krishna has decreed that Skottskog (13,6), Yakleks (14,6), and Aldan (15,6), are all to be considered "Holy Lands". From now on only Krishna faithful may occupy these territories. The following rules now apply: 1. Covenant members will be killed on sight. 2. Silver Lizards (and any incarnations of Silver Lizards will be killed on sight. 3. Any factions with numbers greater than 25 who enter will be killed on sight. 4. Any factions with under 25 members can enter if they chant "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna" in their display field. The must also contact me before Friday of the week they enter or they will be killed on sight. 5. Territories bordering the 3 Holy Lands are "semi-holy" and their secular statis pends on future expansion. Hare Krishna, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (Davgold@nerdc.nervm.ufl.edu) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The True Goddess, all praise to her name, appeared to her watchers and spake thus, "It grieves me to see the land run red with blood and the holy mountain be defiled. The moon metal was put on the land to benefit all and was not to be used for the schemes of a few. All true Atlanteans should rise up and free the mountain from the evil ones, and share what I have given with all. Those who seek to keep the mountain for themselves shall find death, destruction and treachery shall follow them where ever they go and there will be no hiding from my wrath! Only those who follow my will in the use of the mountain shall be allowed to remain on it." It is clear that the mountain is too important to be held by one faction. I call upon all Atlanteans to find a way by which the mountains resources can be shared fairly. I also call upon the great Russell to make iron more freely available than one mountain! The Grey Watchers, may the goddess bless you all, except Krishna who is cursed to follow the Crimson bat into the darkness. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Krishna, The first neck to be stuck out is usually the first to be chopped off! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To all Factions in Atlantis, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! :-) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= It was the height of the New Year's Festivities in the Hidalgo camp, somewhere in the fields of Alghero. The children had been allowed to stay awake, and were lighting noisy and odorous fireworks while running through the camp, followed by and following the camp dogs. It had been a good year for the people of Hidalgo. They weren't dead, and, in fact, had quite a lot of good weapons, and would soon have many more. The peasants had no complaints about the new taxations imposed upon them, and the future looked prosperous. The jongleurs were jongling, the singers were singing, the young men were trying to talk the young women into slipping away from the bonfires, and, as we have already seen, the children were trying to blow their hands off. Alejandro, nephew of the Hidalgo patriarch, was tapping his knife on his wine bottle, attempting to get the attention of the crowd, so that he could make the traditional New Year's Toast. With a sad look at the closed tent of Dominic, his uncle, whom no one had seen for many months, he began: "Good family! People of Hidalgo! Welcome to the New Y--" There was a murmuring from the crowd. Everyone had turned away from Alejandro, and the people were craning to look at the tent of their missing leader. Dominic was coming out! Finally! This was indeed to be a good new year. The shadowy form slowly stepped into the light of the bonfires. All were silent. Men blanched. Women gasped; some fainted. A baby cried. Dominic's ravaged face was pale, his hair in disarray. His gory eye sockets, empty, stared at the crowd. His mouth was set in a grim and frightful determination. "Greetings, my family. I have returned. Good Alejandro, your service in my stead is appreciated. I have come to a decision. "I have been abandoned by all whom I love on this earth. No longer am I Hidalgo, Son of Someone. I am now Son of Nothing. I have no more love left for my fellows. You are no longer the men of Hidalgo -- Sons of Something." "Sounds awfully sexist to me," one of the young women could be heard saying in the crowd. She was quickly shushed. "We will no longer be traders and merchants, the good honest men of the Hidalgo Trading Company. We will now be known as fearsome warriors, my faithful family. We are no longer Hidalgo, the Sons of Someone. We are now The Sons of No Man." No one spoke. A dog barked. And the light of the fire danced on the blind face of their mad leader. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- "To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem" Russell Wallace, Trinity College, Dublin rwallace@cs.tcd.ie Up
