Due to underwhelming interest, the First Great Oly Race
has been cancelled.  The sole faction to register will be
receiving a consolation prize of 10000 gold.

A word of wisdom to the LotC.
If you keep doing what your doing, You'll keep getting
what your getting

*****
   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.

Hey Codric!
My aura blast tan is fading.  Send one of
your laughable mages over so I can get darker
before we kill him!
