Well Godzilla III, you have a big mouth for a guy that used the movement bu.. euh feature last turn to move to our territory. I would love to meet you at the castle but by the time I get there you will probably be dead. But maybe we can work something out, where will Godzilla IIII be formed ??
-- Artemis Entreri [5339]
To the coward putting those rumors in the Times, At least I can say I killed 12 nobles and destroyed a castle all in one turn, sure you can call me a coward but coming from you, a whining chicken, I'll take it as a compliment. And I'm sure that everybody knows that the reason you don't sign your name has nothing to do with making the game more exciting for me, but you're afraid that we'll find out which rock you are hiding under and that we will crush you !!!

Just a reminder that the Brotherhood of the Red God is harrassing the Lord's shipping and naval troop movements in the Camaris Straits. All neutral ships in the waters between Camaris and Provinia east of the 50 longtitude line running through Harn should contact us so you are not caught up in this conflict. Any ships in these waters that have not contacted us will be considered hostile till we have determined otherwise.
We currently have Brothers in the Drassa region with little to do. We are currently looking for contracts of any sort (training, recruiting, raiding, patrol duty, etc) in this area or any of the nearby islands. We have ship transport and don;t mind travelling.
Please visit our web site at http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/1843/borg.html or contact us at asgardian@bigfoot.com
May the Red God smile upon you. The Herald of the Brotherhood of the Red God

Well here's my Yellowleaf Poetry Contest Entry.Sorry I couldnt deliver it personally or stay on subject but I am a little tied up with this war thing.
CODRIC'S PRAYER
Lord Atnerks Please grant me the serenity To accept the things I can not change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom tohide the bodies, Of those I had to kill, Because they pissed me off, Also help me to be carefull, Of the toes I step on today, Because they may be connected, To the ass that I may have to kiss tommorow.
-- Lord Foul [4172]
Mercenaries Wanted!
Are there any factions out there interested in taking on some mercenary work? I am looking for a few (well, a lot actually) good men to do some raiding, shipping disruption, undercover work, magical combat, and information gathering. I can afford to pay handsomely, and guarantee excitement, glory, and the chance to make enemies for life! Please contact me through the mystical messaging service if you are interested.
Note: I had several takers, all of whom have by now received their first payment and are embarking on their assigned missions. However, I have unlimited cash, and lots of work, so keep those cards and letters coming!
-- Ming the Merciless [2900]
I'll spit on the poofter.
-- Bruce [b283]
I am disappointed that you did not answer either of the two missives I sent you Eorl Thorsson the past two weeks. I am also disappointed that Vyassa professes to be friendly and helpful but when asked if someone can use a tower that has stood empty since turn 108, said person is turned down out of hand. That is all I will say for now.

Thats all this week but dont forget to call the Armed Olympian Real Estate Co. for all your real estate needs.
Hmmm, the time flies. Soon, you'll all be begging me for a taste... You know that the only reason that you tried to get rid of me was to steal my peat.
This is a rumor, don't spread it.
Pig Foul will make a nice roast !!!

Sir Codric is a louse
Hello fellow Olympians,
This week, when I was visiting my nephews in the Golden City, I spotted something realy weirrrrd. I had just drrrropped a nice piece of "guano" on top of a bold man's head as he starrrted shouting "May the Hand squeeze all of ya dirrrty shitting pigeons". I rrreplied that I was a Sparrrrow, but Misterrr bold-one kept on shouting "The Hand this and the Hand that...". Errrrr, the bold-one was as rrred as a juicy cherrrry. Too bad I had just done my needs, otherrrwise I would have drrropped anotherrrone rrright on is nice coat.
Firrrst I didn't get the point, but then I rrrealised. The Hand is the grrreat Prrotectorr of the TIB-humans and I was on Rrrimmon terrritorrry. It seems that someone has finally chosen a side.
The Sparrow
It seems rather hopeless for the (dead-) Codrickers, now that everybody knows TIBs and Rimmon are the best of friends.
You know who I am.
