When I study I am too busy to play,
but when I can build boats
I will be too busy building to play.

So when does the work stop and the play begin?
What do you mean I have to decide that for myself?
Who made that rule?

   Uhmmm Hi. . .

Upon the announcement of the withdrawal of the Lords of the Crown from
Provinia, the Rimmon Musketeers agreed to a ten turn truce.  The Lords of the
Crown stated they would raze all of their castles during their withdrawal.
We invited interested parties to join us in negotiating a partition agreement
for the lands occupied by the Lords of the Crown, to form a strong basis for
peace in the region.  A fair, reasonable agreement was reached with the
alliances and factions that came to the table.  However, we then learned that
the Lords of the Crown had decided to transfer control of their two strongest
castles, Adbar and Toppe, to 'independent' factions.  We invited these new
factions to participate in the partition negotiation, but they refused, and
stated their intent to control and hold those castles and lands as sole
factions.

One of these 'independent' factions is the latest incarnation of the infamous
Mad Dog, who lately has worked for the Atalan alliance.  The other is a
player connected to Camaris alliances.  They are simply cat's paws of the
(former) Lords of the Crown, attempting to maintain control and influence in
southeastern Provinia.

The truce has ended.  The Musketeers remain at war.  We will evict these
squatters and any others from southeastern Provinia.  The Duchy of Aquilonia,
the Greyfell Lords, and Eldrad's Loyalists are now allied with us in this
cause.  Once hositle forces have been evicted from these lands, we and our
allies will implement the partition agreement already made.

                                 Rumors



Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To fetch Mad Dog [102007] a bone.
When she bent down
Mad Dog [102007] came around
And gave her a bone of his own.

Morals:

1. Watch yer backs !
2. Never trust a Mad Dog !
3. Dont bark up the wrong tree...
4. This particular Dog broke the
agreements, was punished and
had his nose rubbed in it.

Puppy training continues...
