Greetings Olympians and fellow Drassans.

In the interest of protecting the safety of innocents and neutrals TIB Alliance wishes to offer the following words of caution for those traveling in our eastern Provinian holdings. Sometime over the next several turns a limited military operation will be commencing in this region.

Unfortunately we must resort to this action to remove several illegal garrisons that have been placed within our eastern frontier. This action is to be limited only to the removal of the illegal garrisons and will not target any nobles. The risk to uninvolved nobles should be slight. But as a precaution, we ask that no noble stack with a garrison within TIB territory east of column 33 until further notice.

It may also be advisable for nobles recruiting or training fighters east of column 33 to advise TIB of this action. As mentioned above, none of our orders will target nobles, but nobles seen recruiting and training fighters may be mis-took as garrison placers by an over anxious TIB patrol.

It is our sincere hope that this won t last long and that things will return to normal out east shortly. We will do our best to keep all Drassans informed on the status of this operation and will signal the all clear as soon as we feel it s safe.

Thanks for you attention, May The Hand keep and protect you.

Eric the Seehawk

Rumors


Who's General Failure? And why does he keep reading my hard drive?


The Vulture Speaks:

Another war? Good. Maybe this time the peaceniks will mind their own business and let the rest of us have some fun.

My prediction? The Codrickers have some impressive forces, but they probably stand alone. Their "diplomacy" has been nonexistent. The Harn Alliance is big, and I hear they have powerful friends in Rimmon and Nantassarn. When the dust settles the LotC may no longer exist as a viable alliance: maybe Eric the Peacehawk will allow them refuge on Ormos, the home for defeated empires.

The big question is, of course, what will PLATO do? The Codrickers timing was not smart, as they attacked virtually within days of arousing the public displeasure of Captain Arrr and Ming the Merciless. If PLATO joins the battle, or even a few of their factions, the Codrickers better start begging for mercy in a hurry if they want to be left with anything. If PLATO doesn't, then one has to wonder who, if anyone, is really in charge over there. Don't ask the Loudmouth, all he'll do is insult you and bray about newbie rights.

Another tasty rumor is that the LotC is really part of EAGLE. If true, and my connections are willing to stake their tainted repuations on it, then the ships may be expected to sail from Camaris again, although only for another outbreak of attackus interuptus? EAGLE, for such a proud bird, so far hasn't shown us much in the way of heart. As fellow avians, we are ashamed.

In any case, those of us circling above the battlefields expect to be well fed for the next few months. It's about time.

Have you noticed how quiet the crabs are these days? The only quiet crab is... ummm... a dead crab. I think. Come to think of it, most crabs are quiet crabs. Well, they're funny-looking, anyway.


Yvengi is a louse!


I do not speak for the TIB but for myself only. PLATO: put up or shut up, you unorganized children.


The local police have caught Sir Codric for speeding on the highway to Cawode.


The ship !!!- BORROWERS -!!! Athena,Zeus, etc. have changed their names and are living quietly in a far off country.

Play nice!!!

Doctor(self opinionated) I thought it would be interesting to note, I know who you are. I know where you are. I know you. Never threaten me or you will receive the punishment as set out in my mail with your previous leader.

AS always a pleasure,

An ex-member of the SA.

ps by the way me and the boys thought you might like to know your days are numbered as leader.
