Given that the Lords of the Crown have recruited newbies to attack PLATO, and that the Lords of the Crown have launched seaborn attacks against Provinia sailing from Yellowleaf, the areas around Yellowleaf and Orianna are to be considered a war zone. Newbies should contact us for safe passage or stay in the safe haven.

In need of more troops or a second flank? How about an armed escort through hostile wilderness or dangerous waters? Then contact "The Bortherhood of the Red God" (The BoRG), and for a modest fee we can send an escort by caravan on land or via ship in dangerous waters. In general we are swords for hire and for the right price, will attack almost any target. Please visit our web site at www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/1843/borg.html or contact us at asgardian@bigfoot.com
May the Red God smile upon you

Rumors
Church of Egraal: I, the Lowlander, owe you an apology. Well, here it is. I have mistaken your followers for men of low character, such as Cool Hand Luke - who, by the way, is now holed up in Sweetwater anxiously awaiting my arrival. CoE: I shall trouble you no more.

Figthing for justice, the evil will be braved Fighting for justice, we free the enslaved Fighting for justice, we kill the depraved
Fighting for power, I kill with a blade Figthing for power, I kill as being paid Fighting for power, A crown has been made
Fighting for fun, I spill blood and gore Fighting for fun, I cry out for more Fighting for fun, My arms have gone sore
Fighting myself, I will be braved Fighting myself, To free the enslaved Fighting myself, Because I'm depraved

There once where a man from the eastern of Harn, He spent his time with the girls in the barn, The last girl he met was shy to his call, but agreed to make it through a hole in the wall, He pulled out his poker, he knew what to do, But startled he was, when she cried out MUUUUUH!

The PLATO/EAGLE/LOTC super alliance will now commence operations. All of the previous battles were staged. Notice how only troops died but no nobles? They were war games. We will now be known as PEL.
Long live PEL! Fear us.
>Now is the time that the secret PLATO/EAGLE alliance >will strike! Fools, you have all fallen into our trap!
Us, allied with them? Yuck!
Lots of talk on the list about cheating. It's simple really, if you cheat, you are a loser. If you are running more than one position you are a loser. If you find a bug and take advantage of it without reporting it you are a loser. Anyone who does these things has no honor and ought to quit and leave the game to the rest of us.

Have you noticed that the "Chronicles of the House of Carnelian" haven't been updated for awhile? Here, let me help:
Year 10, month 8: Lord Jheremai's followers cowardly abandoned their allies and joined the enemy. Heraldry now changed to "House of the Yellowbellied Cowards."
