Greeting Fellow Olympians!

I am Ebony Knight "Lord Chancellor" of the Greyfell
Lords.

I pen this note due to my distress of the recent and
ongoing Spartan times issues. I as a long time
Olympian am ashamed at this. So should you be! Sure
you've played for 100+ turns, you have a castle with
thousands of man at arms and beasts.  But does this
make your civic responsibility to all Olympians any
less? I say not.

None can deny the multifaceted ingenious behind this
gaming medium. It can be a purely war game or a Role
playing Game. It can be as deep as you make it or as
shallow. You as the player decide. But know ye this No

wargammer can ever defeat a true role-player. Why?
Because a role-player has too many allies. "Okay so
that's my opinion but you get the idea".

I write these words to let you know at one point we
had 360 players in Olympia and are now down to 179.
It would behoove  us all to encourage more players
into Olympia because the more players we have the
more fun and action that's out there. So please take
the time once in awhile to post a helpful article or
opinion. Perhaps even a wild rumor here or  there in
the newsletter so that our fair lands don't become as
barren as G1.

Keep in mind that any player weather new or old might
be that diamond in the rough that leads to your
defeat so beware and treat them nice : )

Ebony Knight
"All in Olympia are equal. . . If not in might in
hope."

                                 -- Ebony Knight [1675]
