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

I recall from long ago, seeing a recipe somewhere...
"To grow the best Petunias you need borg fertilizer"
I remember the beautiful flowers my brother used to grow.
He had a knack for making borg fertilzer, but alas he died.
While digging in aq70, to plant my flowers, what do I find?
Could it be? Sniff sniff...smells like borg to me?
Is there a market for dead bodies? Or should I just plant?
7: Lady BarBara found one dead body [8984]

Hello,
As you can read from my name below. I am the Speaker for an alliance
known as Arrnor. I have recently come into power in this Alliance. Any
queries should be directed towards me thru diplomatic email forwarding.
Thank you.
The Point of this message is as follows. As I have recently come into
speaking power of this alliance certain citizens of Arrnor have come under
what I personally consider harrassment by a fellow faction and alliance
with whom Arrnor was/and is to this day at war with. That alliance is the
LOTC. Arrnor does not know who owns the offending noble. On Turn 136 our
lands were visibly invaded by a noble. The noble's name went beyond any game
boundaries and into a personal attack against a real life player of
Olympia 2. The offending noble was not visible to person intended it was
rather visible to another alliance member of Arrnor who has since left the
game. Below is
what was seen which has now only come into my hands as Speaker for Arrnor.
I now pass it onto you the community of Olympian Two players in the hope
that you will know with whom you deal when you deal with the LOTC. The
Alliance of Arrnor do not approve/condone or wish to know the owner of this
noble. We do not want contact with the offending alliance in any personal
emails or public emails because of this disclosure. Arrnor does not have
and do not want any diplomatic contacts with LOTC. Arrnor at this point in
time confirms again that it is at war with the LOTC and will remain so.
The targetted faction of Arrnor that I, Speaker for Arrnor consider has
been harrassed is. BS3: For the Love of a Traitor
Marty Menzel
ARRNOR MARKS THE BELOW AROUND TURN 136. Gathered from Arrnor
alliance reports
5: Garrison [h305] is disbanded by Hi Marty [7936].
This noble above made the action on Arrnor lands which we can show
proof of. This is the problem. When Arrnor's enemies with whom Arrnor
is not in contact with nor consider friends with start naming their
nobles after the REAL life name of a player and enact attacks against
Arrnor's members. It has transgressed into a personal attack meant
to cause harm. It is readily apparent that there is a breakdown in
gameplay and where harrassment is beginning.
For those of you who will tell me that I am a blowhard I ask if any
of you have met me in rl and therefore can speak as to what mine or mine
alliance members feelings are. You cannot say that therefore you cannot
say you were jesting with anyone. You meant to anger/harm/or strike in a
personal manner as naming your invading nobles in mockery of a real life
player.
Lord Maltar posted an email to the G2-list on Jan. 28, 1999 showing a
battle which also included the offending noble.
> > 1: al'Lan Mandragoran [7936] is victorious!
We have also in private email been informed of another name that this
noble went by at one point in his life.
R2D2 [7936], "Help me master Luke , help me!!"
With information either made public or thru our friends we show that
the offending faction has renamed his noble a minimum of three times in
one year's playing time. This willingness to change the noble's name shows
it was a premeditated move in which they knew what they wished to
accomplish when the noble "Hi Marty" was seen in enemy lands. Arrnor
does not believe this was a coincidence nor a harmless gesture.
In closing, as I, Speaker for Arrnor have recently come into power
for this alliance I am as of now make public to every player what has
transpired against an alliance member of mine. Our allies already know
what the LOTC are capable of we now make public to the rest of the game
populace.
Knowing that we do not have a public watcher and expect no response
from the gamemaster, even though we do feel the offending player blasted
past the bounds of legal gameplay with their intentions we simply make
public for everyone including the gamemaster.
Wow, this is far to long a post Good reading everyone.
Thank you and goodbye for now.
