To everyone:
The faction of at3 is no longer a part of the Lords of the Crown!
We have chosen to follow a different path, and the LotC have
respected this.  We part as friends, and remain nothing more.
We will not fight any wars for them, neither do we expect this
from them.
From now on we are responsible only for ourselves.

                            -- House of Capricorn [at3]



If the TIBS Alliance still exists, a reply would be
very much appreciated.

Ship thieves in the Greyfell Area will be Executed
with
extreme prejudice! Weather the ships you steal are
Greyfell Lord's of anyone elses you will pay for your
crimes! I strongly suggest you leave the area soon if
you are a ship thief. Although the area may seem a bit
chaotic to the average outsider I assure you that is a
grave misconception.

In need of more troops or a second flank?  How about an armed escort
 through hostile wilderness or dangerous waters?  Then contact The
Brotherhood of the Red God, and for a modest fee we can
send an escort by caravan on land or via ship.  We specialize
in guerrilla tactics against larger targets and quick preemptive
strikes.  If you are in need, drop us a line at:

     A pass is required for anyone wishing to leave the city
     of Port Aurnos by land or collect resources in the nearby
     provences. No reasonable request will be denied. Submit
     your request to my attention via diplomatic email. Nobles
     observed in violation of this policy will be treated as hostile.

                                       -- Samson [4846]



*****
   To All Factions:
   The continent of Camaris is an active war zone.
   Any noble there is liable to attack without warning.

   In particular, any noble not present at the express invitation
   of the Foriegn Minister of the Crimson Dragons is considered by the
   Crimson Dragons to be a hostile noble, and will be attacked without
   warning.  Express invitation means that he will say, "Come to this
   place and do this thing now."  All offers to join the Crimson Dragons
   or to attack our supposed enemies are rejected unless specifically
   approved by our Foriegn Minister.  If he doesn't say Yes, then he
   probably means No.

   It is not our desire to attack neutral or "newbie" factions, we
   consider that a waste of valuable noble-days, but we are at war
   (which we also consider a waste of vaulable noble-days), despite
   our desires to the contrary, and as such we will fanatically defend
   the integrity of our claimed lands.  We regard any entry to Camaris
   by any means as an invasion.

   Uninvited guests will be regretfully hunted down and killed.

   Don't come, we don't want you.

   I hope the preceding is clear and to the point, and I regret the
   need to post this so often.

   Boo!



This will be easy to win if I'm the only racer! I
guess
after all those in the sign up line saw my stunning
flying steed with her coat so shinny and her feathers
so vibrant they decided there better off avoiding the
race altogether to save face.
