So much for neutrality. The Lords are now putting up magical barriers on =
the Southmarche side of the border.

Just to make things absolutely clear to all those 'rulers' who publish =
borders and claims and other rules and regulations, I would like to =
briefly outline Brotherhood field policy regarding borders and claims.

If the Brotherhood in trying to fulfill a contract (or trying not to be =
beaten to a pulp fulfilling a contract) has an option to cross a border =
into a 'neutral' country, all Brotherhood commanders are not to cross =
that border and violate the neutrality - if there is any chance of the =
neutral coming and doing something about it.

You guys can post to the list and complain about interlopers and border =
violations and diplomacy and agreements all you like but the bottom line =
is if you can't maintain your territorial integrity then we are not =
about to respect it.

This is not aimed at Southmarche exclusively as there are many 'rulers' =
who think a Times post is the same as a general treaty with every group =
in Olympia.

I would like to commend the example of the Crimson Dragons who have =
successfiully (as far as I know) killed off any interlopers in their =
domain with effeciency and zeal thus being one of the few countries to =
maintain a closed border policy with any credibility. The Brotherhood =
tested it once and we won;t be doing it again quickly I can tell you!!

OOC Gee sometimes you guys sound like the UN security Council with about =
as much credibility and teeth.
