ICLF PROCLAMATION

Be it known to all Olympians:

The Inner Circle Liberation Front has struck its first blow in the war of LIBERATION! We shall not rest until we have liberated all our oppressed brethern in Land's End from under the Shadowy grip of foreign interlopers with their Lordly airs and tricksy lackeys.

Travelers advisory: in our realm, if you are not us, you are THEM. If we can hurt you, we will. In Shawdowlands [former, not current] and Musketeerville we will be a little more circumspect. No sense hitting a PLATO or RM ally by mistake.

ICLF[hu8]

OOC: Okay, okay, one faction isn't going to hurt a 30+ faction alliance. Maybe one of them will hurt himself laughing when he reads this. Point is, I now have more that one noble so I am going to be harder to exterminate. And suddenly their rear area isn't so warm and fuzzy.

-- ICLF [hu8]


Just a reminder that the Brotherhood of the Red God is harrassing the Lord's shipping and naval troop movements in the Camaris Straits. All neutral ships in the waters between Camaris and Provinia east of the 50 longtitude line running through Harn should contact us so you are not caught up in this conflict. Any ships in these waters that have not contacted us will be considered hostile till we have determined otherwise.

We currently have Brothers in the Drassa region with little to do. We are currently looking for contracts of any sort (training, recruiting, raiding, patrol duty, etc) in this area or any of the nearby islands. We have ship transport and don;t mind travelling.

Please visit our web site at www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/1843/borg.html or contact us at asgardian@bigfoot.com

May the Red God smile upon you. The Herald of the Brotherhood of the Red God

Mercenaries Wanted!

Are there any factions out there interested in taking on some mercenary work? I am looking for a few (well, a lot actually) good men to do some raiding, shipping disruption, undercover work, magical combat, and information gathering. I can afford to pay handsomely, and guarantee excitement, glory, and the chance to make enemies for--what may end up being a short but satisfying-- life! Please contact me through the mystical messaging service if you are interested.

Note: I had several takers, all of whom have by now received their first payment and are embarking on their assigned missions. However, I have unlimited cash, and lots of work, so keep those cards and letters coming!

-- Ming the Merciless [2900]


If only I had a rope...You guy's are excellent. I couln't stop laughing all day keep up the good work.

-- Tabitha [7184]


As the column of smoke rises over the burnt ruins of Codric's southern fleet, it is answered by an even larger pyre of smoke and flame to the northeast!

-- Maltar [3475]


The Rimmon Musketeers remain open to new members. Put your nobles on a fast development track with the resources of a large alliance behind them! We have opportunities for combat, trade, magical and priest study, exploration and questing. Contact me for more information.

All for One and One for All!

-- Maltar [3475]


Rumors


Oh for whatever... everyone seems to be looking for hm... "tools" these days... While I can understand what's wrong with all this scotch stills around, I wonder what will be deaten to pulp next? poor little birds? Or will it be a faction next? Does the tide really turn against the Lords? In spite of the less than professional approach by the Rimmies... Will mercenaries dominate future conflicts? Or will peach rule Provinia once again? I can't help but await the future with curiousity... Yours truly, The one and only Sparrow


You can talk, you can talk. You can bicker, you can talk. You can talk talk bicker bicker bicker talk talk, but you gotta know the territory.


Do the LotC have a death wish, or are they just not nearly as skilled as we thought? They boast of victories against Rimmon but the war machine of the Musketeers has just now begun to really produce. They are getting killed in Camaris, but they keep sending more nobles to die. The BorG harass them from all directions, and rumor is that the Tanstafl League is about the join the cause against them. Their "allies" seem only to be full of talk with no taste for action. All this, yet they continue to brag that they have matters well in hand, while anyone who is truly informed knows that their young empire is crumbling around them. Their inexperience in the ways of this world is beginning to show, and unless they pull back and consolidate they will soon not be much of a factor to contend with. In some ways, they will be missed, as they have provided some much needed color and interest for the last few years. Overall though, their arrogance and (in the case of some of their factions) outright stupidity has lowered the quality of discourse to at times unacceptably low levels.

One now wonders who will replace them as the "Great Evil," as they replaced PLATO? Or perhaps we will enter an age of enlightenment where people will live peacably with each other, trading, making pots, breeding centaurs, and quietly going about their own business.

Yeah, right.


Once upon a time, Captain Mordekai's supposed "author" pirated a joke off the Internet, then changed a few names and published it in the Times - like it was original material or something...

RUN RUN LIKE THE COWARD YOU ARE ARTI BABY. WE WILL COME FOR YOU....


Ahh you saw us comming Maltar. There are more than one of us and we will get your remaining nobels. heck your down to 6 I see, never fear it wont be long now. -Soon to be leader of the Musketeers-


I can't belive it you have all those mages holding hands playing what appears to be Ring Around the Rosie as our armies stomp you at every turn. This is great.


What with those bad attempts at killing me, I finally got enough bones and tendons to make my Necromantic Still.


Now, I've got a still. Mmmmm, I can already taste that Scotch.


Sailor: Argh, There be whales here Captain. Captain: Oh shut up and keep fishing. Sailor: Aye, Aye Captain. But what about th'm sails of 't port? Captain: I already told you what to do, so do it. Ignore the sails. What could possibly go wrong.


Pig Foul will make a nice roast !!!


The heavy handed ruler acts as a would be king. A lone beast howls at the pale half risin moon. The duke dons a red dress to dance with men. Copy machine repairmen as do little boys act as fools. Fear the boogie man for he is among you now. Proper time shall soon arrive and the ax will fall. Then we shall hear a last long and final laugh.


Every month I learn something new. Soon you'll know what I learned last month.
