Well, originally I was going to thank the Lords of the Crown
for their generousity. Due to their untiring effort, a
former Inner Circle faction is in the process of returning
to Provinia.  The ICLF has, as a direct result of LotC
policy, now doubled in size to two factions.

But then I received information of LotC raids on a nuetral
settlement.  In this case, an apparantly honest case of
mistaken identity.  IC lands were named [by me] as Land's
End because they were bordered on three sides by water
[and apparantly we were up a creek on the fourth].  If my
surmise is correct, a city named Land's End was attacked
on that basis alone.  So I have to thank the LotC for
their comradely good fellowship towards their neighbors,
and not neighbors as well.

This is tempered by a recent discovery that the House of
Lords on Cragstan is apparantly a "cadet" branch of the
Lords of the Crown.  Either that, or like BoRG, they have
hired out their services as mercenaries.  Or perhaps they
have been infiltrated by a LotC mole like the Musketeers
were.  See below:
=====
30: Sir Conrad of Cragstan [4465] scried Land's End [cv82] from Solaris
30: Castle [1752], in province Logres [cc09], in Cragstan.
30: Sir Conrad of Cragstan [4465] scried Land's End [cv82] from Solaris

I give the House of Lords an opportunity to explain themselves.
Giving aid to an enemy by means of Visions, Scries, or Locate Character
is an act of war.

So I guess I also wish to thank the Lords of the Crown for tipping me off
as to who some more of their allies are.  For all the press we read in
the Times and the posturing on the g2-list, if my insignificant [to date]
activities have forced you into these moves, then perhaps PLATO has hurt
you more deeply than they tell me.

Greetings Olympians and a special hello to all Drassans.

    After several months of continued hostilities, the continent
of Atnos has found peace again, as the armies of the Greater
Northern Atnos Traders have prevailed over those of their enemies.
    As the last of the enemy bastions in Atnos surrenders, the
House of Lords and the Greater Northern Atnos Traders have signed
a treaty granting the HoL all territory in Atnos south of row cm.
    This territory shall henceforth be called the Barony of
Glantri and all HoL laws apply in full to this land.
    All other territory in Atnos is under GNAT control and their
laws apply to it.
    In addition, the HoL and the GNAT have signed a mutual defense
treaty and any attack on GNAT holdings or nobles in Atnos will be
treated by the HoL as an attack on our own holdings or nobles.

    If you are in the northwestern region of Olympia, please
take a moment to look at our web household at:
   http://www.ip.pt/~ip231870/HoL.htm

    It includes a map of the Kingdom of Cragstan and the
surrounding area as well as important information for
anyone wishing to visit our territories in Cragstan,
western Cipheria or southern Atnos.

    Live long and prosper,
    Lord Ralek Arkham
    Speaker for the House of Lords
    Kingdom of Cragstan

                                 Rumors



 Something is Going on, somewhere, I just can't remember...
 As soon as I do remember whatever is going on I will try not
 to forget it again.

 Am I a good friend or what?



Who needs to build ships when the Lords leave them lying around??



As if misplacing a mine wasn't bad enough.
Now I misplaced the wizard. What else
can I lose, let me see........



   bye, bye, little birdie, fly far away



Pig Fouls brains sure will taste good. A pinch of salt,
a bit of pepper.



   "This rumor, too, has no point.  That's how things are in the
   Pointless Forest"



Just a pointless rumor to fill out the rather lackluster Times.



   Haaa! Thought you could taunt me into publishing another message,
   didn't you!  Well, it will never work, Never!

    You know who I am
