A couple of turns ago, someone asked

   The top two players are apparently the only real powers
   in the game.  What are your long term interest in the game?

I guess I'm one of those top two players. Actually, I think there are
  probably a "top 3", since I recently slipped to third in a couple of
  stats, due to a bit of a mixup while I was on vacation last week.

As for my "long term interest", I'm mainly working right now to
  consolidate the lands I picked up from their former owners up in
  the Camaris', and then I'll go back to my original long term goal,
  which is exploration and mapping. I'd like to become a king, but
  I have no plans for agressive expansion.

As long as no one does anything annoying like sneak into South
  Camaris and build a castle before I get it completely garrisoned
  (it's amazing how much former AOO territory is not garrisoned), I
  have no plans for attacking anyone. I will, however, maintain
  sufficient forces to defend myself.

I'm mostly willing to be helpful if people have problems, but I'm not
  going to try to be any sort of "Global Cop". Leave me alone and
  I'll generally leave you alone.  Think of me as "The Good Witch of
  the North" :)

At least here we know what bugs to expect.  I say, long live g1,
and welcome to Dave and yvind!
Now, give us your Nps.



I often wonder how come John Tesh isn't as popular a singer as some 
people think he should be. Then, I remember it's because he sucks. 



   Oleg is not on 3rd.




There are great rumblings in the south.... Although that may just be the
