We are pleased to see that Olympia's ranks are still growing!  I guess
the populus has said nay to the nay sayers who thought that
Olympia would come to an end because the AOO said it should. Hurray!
I guess the AOO doesn't get quite EVERYTHING they want.  ;)

The Circle of Hope would like to welcome the recent throng of new
factions & we wish them the best of luck in a world which is often
cruel & full of death (though probably not from the goody goody
Circle of Hope).

Another month, another delicious noble brain.



Have chains -- merci!



Can you re-name regions?



   Ok - I have Beastmastery.  Now what?



If anyone wants to retire, I'll be glad
to watch their castle for them (hehe)




  The Answer Guy is taking the week off. He'll be back next week.

  Just be glad this isn't the Family Circus, or you could have
   little Billy answering questions in his place this week.

    can you train a worker to be a sailor or a soldier?



   Could somebody list the major alliances in Olympia 
   and the amount of factions pledged to them ?

Well, do you get the extra NP when brain eating?

  More mundane money for not so mundane purposes!



   Sittin' here, lonely, like a broken man...
   Spend my time, I do th' best I can...



Or is it so?!



  So if the AOO have won, why are they still hanging around?
Can they enjoy writing orders that much? Folks, if that's so,
then you've got a big future as a CPA.

What's Pink and has a short but eventful life?



        To the answer guy? (or anyone??)
        Is it true that the Arena world is Olympia and that clues
        as to the nature of the Olympia game can be found in Arena 
        and vice versa? 

        P.S Arena is a fun game too, look for Boris the Grey! 
        (the BtA of his world?)



    Can you build on an island? Can you do anything with them?



Chateau means castle to some,
but it means cat water to others.



In the name of Queen and Country, I claim this land for me!



         Malleus Maleficarum press release 2-14-12 

         "The evils which are perpetrated by modern witches exceed
         all other sins which the gods have ever permitted to be done.
         And this can be shown in so far that they commit sins
         involving perversity of character, though they are different
         than sins that contravene the other theological virtues.

         Repent you and join the Witches Hammer.  We will
         hunt the witches and stomp out their heresy."



                 And under this rock we have....

                        The AOO!



I wake
With memory lost.
What trials have I seen?
Gold to drown my questing heart.
Knowledge to slake the thirst.



                                How about that map?
