No more borg ads to skip past in the times.
No more dirty deals or back stabbing.
No more fools to slay as they leap thru the gate.
Silly boys didn't know I was there.
Sitting, waiting with a long hostile list.
They had said go far far away, and I did.
Perhaps they had forgotton...
There were 3 of us.
Only 2 had melted into the ground.
Now the borg  too hath melted.

May the borg ROT in hell, May the Dog rest in peace.

I have no enemies left in this land.
Of the original members of the attacking party.
Just one remains. A mere spoke in the wheel.
A mindless BooB that merely got in the way of the dog.
Hardly worth the bother now.
TOO Bad my dear brothers didn't stick around to see the end.
Or is it true that each end is the start of something new.
It will be terribly boring here now.
I know what brother woulda said when he saw the borg die.
"Woof Woof!"
Perhaps I too shall now melt into the ground.
After I squat over the Scarlot's grave.

Or...hmmm...MAYBE IF I WHISTLED?

To All Factions:
   The continent of Camaris is an active war zone.
   Any noble there is liable to attack without warning.

In particular, any noble not present at the express invitation
   of the Foriegn Minister of the Crimson Dragons is considered by the
   Crimson Dragons to be a hostile noble, and will be attacked without
   warning.  Express invitation means that he will say, "Come to this
   place and do this thing now."  All offers to join the Crimson Dragons
   or to attack our supposed enemies are rejected unless specifically
   approved by our Foriegn Minister.  If he doesn't say Yes, then he
   probably means No.

It is not our desire to attack neutral or "newbie" factions, we
   consider that a waste of valuable noble-days, but we are at war
   (which we also consider a waste of vaulable noble-days), despite
   our desires to the contrary, and as such we will fanatically defend
   the integrity of our claimed lands.  We regard any entry to Camaris
   by any means as an invasion.

Uninvited guests will be regretfully hunted down and killed.

I hope the preceding is clear and to the point, and I regret the
   need to post this so often.

Speaking for the Crimson Dragon Ministry of Internal Security,

-- Cudgel [9129]

Hear ye, hear ye!

I am proud to announce the formation of the
Duchy of Aquilonia. We claim the following area:
boxes cx35-dj39, cr40-cv46 and cw40-dm49
Our alliance is still open for new factions
who are looking for a place to dwell.

Travel is allowed in our territory but visitors
are to abide the following rules:

1. Announce your presence and intent.

2. All constructions, save castles, are
allowed.

3. No opium dealing or theft.

4. Resources are free after a short note
to the province owner

Our land is scarred from the wars of the past.
Freedom and peace shall return and upheld for
as long as we live.

On behalf of the Dukes of Aquilonia,

-- Ammon [n060]

The LOC strike at the innocent again!!
Up until now, my faction has been neutral.
It has never participated in any combat.
But recently I have had a second Noble
'slaughted' by the LOC. The first loss I
considered to be a possible error on my
part. Being in the wrong place, at the
wrong time. But not twice.
Thus, I will begin my revenge against
the LOC... If you are in LOC lands, I
consider you to be the enemy. Move out
if you're neutral. I think I will now
begin to send Assassins into LOC lands...
TO KILL A FEW LOC... mmm.. Could be Fun!!

How long have Olympians been under the evil of the
   Lords of the Crown? See for yourself.
   News Letter 35

A Warrior's Views

Choosing what road to walk in life  is a luxury given
   to few in this world
   Perhaps lack of practice is why  so many who do have
   that choice
   make such a gods-cursed mess of it

-- Sir Codric
   [3910]

NL36

How much does a throne cost?Sometimes but one life,
   when sickness, old age,
   or a lucky blade takes the life of a king  in a strong
   kingdom.Most often,
   it takes the life of a few ambitious,  grasping
   men,and the more of those
   the realms is rid of, the better

The Way of the Gods

-- Sir Codric
   [3910]

NL38

Life has no meaning but what we give it.
   I wish a few more of ye would give it a little...

-- Sir Codric
   [3910]

NL39

I curse you, my foe.  Whatever you gain in enmity
   shall turn against you.
   Whatever you plunder from me shall bring you
   misery.Whatever gold you take
   shall buy your grave. My doors are forever closed to
   you.
   The sorrow shall be yours alone.I shall only laugh,

and my friends shall dance on your dying day.

-- Sir Codric
   [3910]

Three things I'd  like to say:

1. They are gone
2. They took that stupid ad with them
3. HIP HIP HOORAY

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Yes, we're a huge alliance of ancient factions who've been at war
longer than you plan on playing, but no doubt we lack the ability,
interest, and intelligence to find and kill your nobles with
your handful of men.  You're just too quick for us, by golly.
