 Public Notice From Crimson Dragon Internal Security

****
To Whom It May Concern

 Given the recent series of exchanges between the ICLF and HOL
in the Times lately, I have decided that certain points long
asserted both publically and privately should be clearly
restated, in hopes of avoiding needless disappointment.

 First of all, all of the continent of Camaris has been claimed
by either PLATO, the CD, or other alliances whose claim the CD
or PLATO is bound to uphold if asked to.  Obviously we are not
greatly concerned with PLATO's territorial integrity on Camaris,
but we are confident that they are. Thus, anyone on Camaris who
is not a member of one of these groups can expect to be attacked
by either or both of them, since neither side is currently making
a policy of warning specific targets before attack.

 Given that our basis for war is PLATO's failure to abide by
treaty, and given King Oleg's prior history of prologed conflicts
and public statements of his willingness to fight on (see the G2
mailing list for his honest response to the trader in Yellowleaf),
we regard it as unlikely that this war will ever conclude.

 Thus, any noble on Camaris should consider themselves to be a
target in a war zone, to be attacked by whatever means are most
convienent.  There is no safe passage or neutrality here, and
probably never will be.  Since both sides have the ability to
teleport troops from around the world, there is no force too
small to be considered a threat, even a single noble.  We have
been tracking a number of nobles and vessels moving about Camaris,
and are disposing resources to deal with them.

 We presently regard the war between the CD and PLATO as being
confined to Camaris and it's adjacent waters, although the alliances
of both sides to the participants in the ongoing Provinian conflict
obviously render this view excessively idealistic.  No matter, this
conflict is not about reason and logic, do not expect it.

 In summary, there is war on Camaris, and any entry lacking an
explicit invitation, for any purpose, will be met in any fashion we
(and, I would guess, PLATO) see fit without warning or apology.
This state of affairs will last at least as long as the current
inhabitants dwell there.  I hope this is sufficiently clear.  If
it ever changes we will alert the general populace with happy cries
of wonder and astonishment.

Greetings Joker!

   It's nice to have enough fame that I need not even announce my new
additions on my web site. I can always count on friends like you to do
it for me. Thanks. By the way I have adopted a new motto so if you
would like
to also announce that feel free. It's
"Lord Foul:Making Olympia more interesting for All!"

   Now to address your issue, No I am not leaving out
our vast southern border but if you'll investigate further you will see
all the Alliance Geography's on the web site you refer to are all
vauge. I will include a few for you below as seen on the web site.

- - -
CRIMSON DRAGONS-GEOGRAPHY: This Super Allance controlls vast tracks of
the southern continent of Camaris mostly the western half.

HOUSE OF LORDS-GEOGRAPHY: This Alliance has complete control of the
Northwestern continent of Kragstan located just west of Drassa and
share ownership of Chipheria with the TIB.

LORDS OF THE CROWN-GEOGRAPHY: The Lords of the Crown are spread between
Yellowleaf and Harn in southeastern Provinia.
- - -

   Hardly exact borders my dear JOKER. So if you want to make me look
foolish please try harder next time. Also if you become man enough to
sign your posts perhaps I will take you seriously untill then Happy
Gamming, Or should that be Happy Cowering?
