    Just a little footnote to last week's comments.  The last mistakes
    were indeed not made, as the RM lost the castle, but then bribed the
    combat stack and captured the remaining archers.  They then freed
    the 20+ nobles captured in Maltar's prior defeat.  Alas, they did not
    first clear the hostile settings of the noble they had bribed,
    so that noble proceeded to attack all the free RM nobles.  In the
    end the castle defense force, the city garrison, and most of the
    attacking force were destroyed, the Lords had lost 2 or 3 nobles,
    and Rimmon had something over 20 nobles killed, according to my
    sources.  Not sure who to give victory to on this one.  Not even
    sure if it's really over yet.

    We now return you to our regularly scheduled message.

    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.

      Speaking for the Crimson Dragon Ministry of Internal Security,

                                       -- Cudgel [9129]
