To the inhabitants of Allasus Island:
I have no real wish to invade your demesne, but if you keep ignoring my emails, I'll just assume you don't care. If you PLEDGE to [l9i] and make him King, I'll leave you alone.
-- Ferengi [db5]
The only way to clearly win this game is to kill everyone off. Thus you would have to be willing to a)murder b)play by yourself when everyone else is killed off. Clearly we should all be looking for other objectives. end

Now you're doing it on purpose. How juvenile.

-- The Crazy Quilters [vn7]
Dear Curious Newbie, Not only have I deposited gold in the First Bank of Provinia, who is still in Olympia, I have withdrawn it as well - with interest. You may have noticed from my customer testamonials that I use their warehouses, shipping services, and have borrowed gold from the bank on numerous occasions.
Contrary to the rumors that are being spread by competitors, the First Bank of Provinia does not employ goons, thugs or savages to collect loans.
-- Jaques et ses Haricots [x1a]
Rumors
Where are you my little yellow friend? I am looking for you Come out and play:)
Doesn't Dumbaid have a buddy name Oily Circle?
Free and independant factions of Olympia, take heart! Kaden the Hand LIVES! Read our manefesto and join the Great Cause! The Popular Front for the Liberation of Olympia (PFLO) jh7q
Another mage bites the dust!
Poor Oleg!
Quilters,
You are given more time to prepare. More pressing matters occupy us for a turn or two. But you are not forgotten, only spared a little longer.
Yikes! What big dragons you have!
Does anyone mind if I cry?
This is too intense, I'm outta here.
Who is Oleg? Who is Oleg?
If only you had heard half of what I have heard, & I have heard very little, your ear would wither & return to dust 'ere you heard the just a tithe of the tale.
Oleg!
What an amazing noble, what a famed past!
Oleg!
He was annoying, he was charming:
but...
he's dead.
howsobeit, once upon a time he ruled a land called Tollus, now thrice overrun, I blieve, & ruled by the AOO or nobody.
I had once thought to rule there, but, well, you know, there are so many nobles to kill, & so little time.
But Oleg had the honor of being the first to fall to the AOO dreadnaught. He was then converted into an AOO type & was later aura-blasted by the magnificent if somewhat dead Kaden the hand.
& that's just the half of it...
*sigh*

The First Bank of Provinia broke your thumbs? You lucky, lucky bastard. You got off easy! When I missed a loan payment the bean guy split my knee caps then nailed my head to a table. So I don't want to hear any of your whining.
Has G2 started?
>> AOO is already in G2!!
You are an optimist. They have already won G2. Anyone for G3 ???
Ain't welfare great!
"Rumors are that G2 will be starting in two weeks. Perfect timing as that is when my account balance goes to 0. =) I think I'll see you all in there. While it has been fun here, I can't accomplish much more than I have except perhaps annoy the AOO some more. But then I actually like some of them. So I guess not. - XXXX"
sorry guys, I need the silver
