If I were a new Alliance I would think twice before
attacking a super alliance no matter what crap the
Lords have been feeding me.

   Very Classy.   You of course conveniently left out the part about
   Heimdall being a pirate and a mercenary.   Oh, and the line:
   Heimdall [d522] miraculously survives a fatal wound.   I am
   now expressing my displeasure and say to you "If you can't take
   a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to scurry back where you came
   from.  It's not safe out here.  It holds wonders to satisfy desires
   both gross and refined, but it's not for the timid." -
   (something like that anyway) Q from ST-TNG.

   I have to admit - I am very offended - I'm not sure what offends me more
   though.   The part about you publishing my ID in the times, or the fact
   that you've offered a mere 1000 Gold Pieces for my body.  The body of a
   Lady no less.  You've made me feel like a cheap whore.  Well....at
   least the cheap part offended me.
   By the way for all you studs out there - I am not currently attached and
   am looking for a date to the annual Olympia Awards.

   For those who might be interested in collecting Wodan's reward please
   note it may be much more difficult to bring my "dead body"
   back to Wodan for payment.   However, the 1000 GP award I offer
   for Heimdall's [d522] death or for that matter Wodan's [d987]
   (I don't really care which) will be much easier to collect.
   I'll even tell you where Heimdall is as of day 30 turn 116:

25: > use 841 w197
30: A vision of Heimdall's Pride [w197] appears:

Lord Maltar,
Musketeers,

I usually reserve my council to me own Lord.
But for this special occasion I feel
an exception is permissible.

In light of the most recent events,
and more specifically what has befallen your army,
I would recommend the following :

Renounce your command as leader of the Rimmon Musketeers.
Disband your alliance, remove any and all titles.
Retreat your forces a safe distance from the border.
(line CN in case you 're wondering)
Call back your spies so numberous on LOTC terrain.
(Want me to give names and ID's ?)
Retreat yourself to a secluded place and accept
the life of a hermit. Only through meditation
and an eternal vow of silence will you be able to
live your life in a relative peaceful state of mind.

If you refuse to see the situation for you and yours
is desperate, allow me to elaborate a few more months.
But know that in doing so you voluntarily accept the
role of martyrdom, and no further attempts at
communication will be made 'till we've seen
you vanish into the ground.

I have spoken and will not do so again.

       "...Who was that masked gerbil...???"



So is it Nation of Ergoth or Nation of the Crown?
Think hard as the wrong decision could mean a grave
site next to Lord Bane. Remember Lord Bane's Folly?



Long ago in a dusty village
full of hunger, pain and strife.
A man came forth
with a vision of truth
and a way to a better life.
He was convinced he had the answer
and he compelled people to follow along.
But the hunger never vanished
and the man was banished
and the village dried up and died.

My small contribution to the sad end
of Sir Codric.



The regularly scheduled rumor has now been cancelled.



Pig Foul will make a nice roast !!



  ICLF --> Incompetent Crazy Liquid Flushers ?



WHAT IS THE MATRIX??????



  Pig Foul will even drown on the coast.



  It is only me I speak for, but I'd warn folks that Camaris
 is a war zone, and strangers poking thier nose in there are
 likely to get it shot off.  I'm a' greasin' up my bow glove.

 (Insert first bars of 'Dueling Banjos' here)




Oink Oink



    Oh Please don't hurt me!  I'm just a helpless
   innocent mercenary, sob.



Wow,my army is as powerful as I thought it was.Now I just need someone to 
prove it on.Maybe it will be you.



Everywhere I go...
... I allways take the weather, with me.
