The Reservoir Gods were once again the victims of an unprovoked attack upon themselves last turn , this time in the West Ilion city of Issus. Luckily we managed to flee town with only one casualty , but we would still like to register our displeasure at this cowardly act.
Come on AOO - why don't you take on each other for once. That would be a battle worth watching. In the meantime , leave me alone or my Dragon Force (tm) , totalling 6 now , will soon be flapping their wings on the steps of the chateau.

The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated. Hades is now CLOSED. Anyone or anything I find down here will be killed or captured.

The Spanish Inquisition is currently offering free chairs in her mobile torture chamber for Ferengi nobles. The great royal Ferdinand of Aragon was kidnapped by the vicious barbarian Daimen Taag [s3n] when holding a council in his city Birdan on Hothras [dd48]. Another victim of the godless attack is a man of the church, the venerable Tomas de Torquemada. Thanks to the other AOO factions helping me to get Ferengis in the beginning of the great internal AOO war.

unit p5i # Bartholomew in Halls of Discovery [i33] honor 100 press 0 An open letter to the Factions of the AOO, from Bartholomew, Knight Commander of the Society:
Greetings, gentlemen.
This last turn saw a most unfortunate occurrance: An attack by an AOO army upon a noble who was flying the RGS banner. The noble in question was "Flash Git" O'Rourke, a harmless Explorer anchored in the port of Petelinus, on Ilion. He was on a peaceful trading mission, and was unaccompanied by troops or fighting beasts. He is the first casualty ever suffered by our Organization.
While we realize that mistakes sometimes do happen in a war zone, nonetheless the attack appears to have been deliberate. Moreover, there are indications of other attacks in the offing, against clearly-marked RGS nobles in the West Ilion region.
Therefore I ask you openly: What are your intentions here? Do you mean to destroy *every* faction in Olympia? The RGS has declared its neutrality and demonstrated its good faith; what more do you require?
We ask that you please respect RGS neutrality, refrain from attacking our nobles, and work with us to improve relations between the AOO and the other Factions in Olympia. You cannot prevail against *every* faction in Olympia; surely you can see that. Cooperation, peaceful coexistence, and mutual respect will take far less of a human toll on all of us. I urge you to think carefully on the matter, and respond either directly to the Society or in these pages.
We send our best wishes for continued peace and understanding.

-- The Crazy Quilters [vn7]
-- STRIKING BACK AGAINST TYRANNY -- A NOTICE TO ALL OLYMPIANS
Success.
Last month, 32 characters in Chateau Olympique [s85] on Mount Olympus and the Courts of Chaos [f38] in Faery were slain by aura blasts. The Courts of Chaos [f38] and Home Sweet Home [d86] in Hades were simultaneously overrun and razed. Kills are confirmed on over 40 characters and nearly 1000 dragons. The control artifacts that were taken have given us over a dozen of their monster bands and 300 of the dragons that survived.
Last month's list of the fallen is mostly accurate. A notable exception is the Mold Demon [b9s], which escaped.
Marat [g3y] and Hotspur [h9t] have passed on. Very soon, the other priests will follow them.
The Garden People [ml1] actually passed on from Olympia some time ago. Their nobles have apparently been adopted by another faction and stationed in Hades and Faery, where they were killed.
What we are seeing in all this is the dawn of a new era, an era in which the special (and interesting) places and powers of our world are open to ALL OLYMPIANS, not just the tyrants and their friends. With a reasonable risk, we should ALL be able to dart between the continents in Hades and Faery. We should all be able to go there to learn Scrying [162], Necromancy [165] and Artifact Construction [164]. We should all be able to hunt demons or elves or even each other and harvest the magic treasures there. We should NOT have to be accountable to some self-appointed overlord to have fun in this game.
To this end, anyone curious about Hades can move to their nearest graveyard and EXPLORE. Anyone interested in Faery can investigate one or more of these locations.
Atnos cf17 Drucartan bl11 Illion cj21 Ossicus ca55 Provinia by33 Tollus cp58
At this moment, the whole of Hades and the greater part of Faery are officially uncontrolled. But of course, the tyrants are swarming around by now with their remaining dragons, going into conniptions, PMSing, etc. It is strongly recommended to avoid Hades and Faery for the next several turns. If you must go, send nobles using the Conceal Self subskill of Stealth.
We are working towards the day when a noble with half a dozen fighters or beasts can go into Hades or Faery and expect a reasonable chance of coming out alive, without having his faction hunted to extinction. With the old power structures gone, this will be possible in time. If the tyrants build new ones, I will destroy them.
The Elven Lord [h5l] in the castle, The Gathering [b21], in the Faery province [cl3u] is respectfully requested to raze his castle to the ground and depart.
Many of you have written me directly. I thank you for your interest, but my identity is secret for the present. I cannot answer in kind.
Highlights of Turn 123 follow...
This was not a joke, Greg.

Customer Testamonial on behalf of the First Bank of Provinia
Greetings, Provinians! My name's Jack and these are my beans. I'm a trader. I travel Provinia buying and selling the finest beans and linen. How did I get this great career? The First Bank of Provinia gave me a small-business loan. That's how! They have everything a businessman like myself could need: low-interest loans, high interest rates, newbie bonuses, warehouse facilities, shipping services... What else could you ask for?
So take it from me, Jaques et ses Haricots, don't wind up lying in the gutters of Imperial City weaving baskets. Stop by the First Bank of Provinia a call. You'll be glad you did.

Wurnas! Don't bother appealing to Atnerks for help! That's not a bug, it's a feature!
What is the German word for knight?
Is Mr. Katanga still snooping outside the waters of the Imperial City with his hidden sail boat? I offer an award of 1000 gold for his capture!!!
"Geez, did yu see dem folks over der Marta?" "Yez uh did, Slim. Ain't seen dem types 'fore now. Wunder what days up ta? Gots a strange accent to, ya catch it? Really, dak skeen.."

"Jus whut we need, more weerdoes actin' all lordly and such. But, must say dey don't look like the type tu mess wid."
There seems to be alot going on. And alot of dead nobles around. Must mean there is empty space for some of us now, eh?
Just in case you haven't heard, the Ferengi (an AOO faction) have laid claim to all land south of row cz. Yes, that's right, they've claimed a quarter of the world, all for themselves. That, coupled with recent AOO attacks, leads one to wonder if there's any point in continuing. Perhaps we're all best off quitting, and forcing Atnerks to start g2?
Free !!! Free at last. Oh... To feel the rhythm of the waves under my feet again! There's no greater feeling in the world.
Galley, Avatar of the Dawn found abandoned. Anyone claim her?

> What's BtA stand for? hmmmm, I don't really care, but I /do/ have orders queued for a captive of his, which include (should he escape): Build tower "BtA's Hole" Fill in any blanks as you like.
How long before the AOO eliminates everyone? Not long apparently.
Long live the Duke!
Does any one have the recipe for Dragon ala Olympia ??
Can beasts be used as garrison troops? If peasants can, why not beasts? Anyone tried it?
Is that a dagger or crucifix I see, clutched so tightly in your hands?

I can't believe it! Reduced to sending messages to the Times! Where did all that money go?
We of the factions known as "Formerly able to help" or "Faith" offer Kaden the Hand and his masters a hearty congratulations and a rousing cheer of "Good show"! It is quite unfortunate that we couldn't cooperate earlier before the AOO annihilated my faction. Best of luck to you. - XXXX
One might ask himself. Why should I pay a 100 lb peasant a gold piece a month when I can have a two ton dragon around for nothing? Who shovels that dragon crap anyway? And where does the food come from to feed these beasts? Some maintenance cost is definately in order. Maybe 1 peasant per beast just to shovel the crap and feed them? Or maybe some form of payment should have to be paid to a mythical stable for care and upkeep. I don't know but when you have to pay 5 gold to upkeep and army of 5 peasants and to maintain an army of 500 dragons is free 'o charge something is screwy. Until further notice breed them dragons. Yours in Unbalancedness. snd
