THY KINGDOM COME
History of the Land - June 1989




89May23 11:32 pm from James Hilchie @The Mall [NS,CA]
Baron Swiftwind, Jetsams been there fore about 2 weeks. I hope I get him back
soon.

89May24 3:43 pm from BRYAN ESBAUGH @The Mall [NS,CA]
Is there anybody out there who uses the Name Elkhorn for one of there
charcters? If there is then we got a problem.

89May24 5:50 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [NS,CA]
You'll notice Multi-Encounters are now possible. I had one other idea that I
didn't install yet and that is if a character is in Mode 1 (Attack), do you
all think that a call to battle should be automatic?

89May24 6:29 pm from Fire Elf @The Mall [NS,CA]
I wouldn't count 100% on seeing the Troll King dead. If even the smallest bit
of him escaped the fire, he will be back. A finger, or chunk of skin will do
the job. Some carnivorus fish shall find quite the surpise in it's gullet when
he begins to form. Of course, this could take ages, as this body part may bee
deep within the ocean, and he would continue to drown, and be eaten by
carnivors. It is of no matter. I shall be around to witness his return, though
no mortal shall.

My silly Prince, any passing fool could tell me he is dead. I would require
more information fior the 100 GP, although I will give thou 50 GP when we next
meet. Perhaps you could finance a ship to pick me up later, I paying for full
cost.

(Robbie) : You shall recieve your 100 GP, and an extra 200 GP for destroying
the Wizard who hath taken both our minds, although I would of perfered to kill
the slime myself. Who was the foul wizard, so I may squash his foul relations
so another like this wizard may not arise?

(Jason Foster): I just may have a job for you. What are your conditions for
bounty hunting?

89May25 10:13 am from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Let it be known that Grog is now Captain of the Royal Gaurd. All in my Kingdom
have loyalty set to me and Mode set to 2 or suffer the attack from my patrols.

89May25 1:15 pm from Duke Samwise @The Mall [455-8615]
So I see somebody fumbled onto my secret. Who owned an assassin called Shadow
Lord? Seems he attacked me on Day 71, since my mode was/is set at 1 he would
have discovered that I was way too powerful only too late. He is dead and the
funny thing is he never even hit me once. What a wimp he must have been. So
I'm alive, I want peace and it seems only a dead man can have peace around
here. As if Kael-Tarjan could have killed me. Give me some credit. I am one of
the most powerful men in the world right now. My Duchy stands as before and
anybody found in it will be destroyed. I found out who my allies were in my
time of death as it is that time that the two-faced men showed their true
colors. A certain Grog's life isnt going to last long if I have anything to
say about it. A spy from the Troll Kingdom I gather. Sorry Bardia, I have the
upmost respect for you but I do not like Grog. He was part of a conspiracy of
your overthrowing. Isn't that funny how a little troll can become enemies with
such powerful men. You better find yourself some big bucks little boy because
if I ever find you you're going to be dead. Well Duke Samwise lives and I now
know who actually were true to me. Not only that but it gave me the time I
needed to do certain things... Anybody that would have had the brains enough
to check Castle Stonefist would have seen I was still alive, as we speak
Samwise has created an army bigger than ever before. One difference. We want
our peace, give it to us our perish in battle!

(And no this isn't me creating a new character with the same name, it is the
actual character, attackig me shoudl prove that. :-) And Dan can back it up as
he saw me logging in as the "dead" Samwise. I haven't been below 84 HP in over
3 months. Nobody is a match for me so far, except Edward Cain of course but we
all know how that ended.)

Loyal followers of Samwise, I am going to set up a conference room for us at
STonefiST so I can give you my updates privately. We will have our peace.

Duke Samwise

89May25 4:07 pm from Anthony Bane @The Mall [455-8615]
Bardia, you're starting to get a bit boastful, aren't you? BTW people, if you
didn't allready figure it out, Bardia is the (late) T.K. Well, anyway Bardia,
I suggest you watch your back for a couple of days... I just dispatched your
prescous Kail Tarjun, and I'm coming for you next. Yes, I know where the
Castle is, and so (I belive) all others should. Bardia's Castle is at hex 96
in the middle of the mountain range. The secret is no longer a secret.

89May25 4:40 pm from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
I see no boasting on my part, simply stating what is true. If you have not the
courage to sign your character's name so be it. If it was an oversight and you
are a man of honor I challenge you to meet me in a fight to the death. I shall
await you in the Core of my Castle Hex, which for anyone who read the archived
notes in the Book Store or Scribe Shop, would have know to be 96. I shall warn
you of one thing, oh mighty mouthed warrior, you shall not see the lowlands
again.

89May25 4:53 pm from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Anthony was Freedonia your man? Well just to give you an indication of what
type of man is challeging you... I was set on Mode 1 and still have my Maximum
amount of hit points. We can only assume that your man broke his wimpish
dagger on my Plate Mail... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Come to me you scum!!!!!!!!! I'm
sharpening my double-handed sword as we speak... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

89May25 4:58 pm from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
To All Others:

I wish no quarrel, yet shall not back down to any challenge. I am Prince of
the Royal Line. The only true Royalty left in the Kingdom. I walked this earth
when King Fredrick I sat on the throne of the Old Capital. I am no imposter,
nor troll re-incarnate. I am Prince Bardia who fought the Fredrick Wars, who
harboured the Bastard Fredrick III in my stolen Castle Bardia (now known by
some as Haven). I have had countless battles and am no ordinary foe. Treated
with the respect I deserve... and no more than that... I could be a welcome
allie. All are welcome to my Mountain Kingdom, providing they have thier Mode
set to 2 and thier Loyalty set to myself.

89May25 5:39 pm from JASON FOSTER @The Mall [455-8615]
Well the Troll King is dead and will never surface again. At least not for
countles moons.
== Former Troll King

( Let the truth be known I guess )

89May25 6:00 pm from Connell Monette @The Mall [455-8615]
Bardia, be careful. I have died, and I was carrying a two-handed sword,
wearing Full Plate, and had 100 hit points. It also appears he killed a few of
my Bloodwarriors before, and apparently did not have time to heal himself
then(no city close enough). He is not a wimp, and has no people under
him(thank god), and fights all his battles himself. The person you killed must
just have been a whimp. Beware of a man named Maelstrom, for he is probably
your worst enemy, and greatest opponent. As for as I can tell, he too has more
than 100 hit points, or is VERY lucky.

89May25 6:08 pm from Anthony Bane @The Mall [455-8615]
You are a fool Bardia. You insult me by saying that I am a wimp like
Freedonia. Well, I will soon be coming for you, as I have no need to worry
about hit points. Beware Bardia, or you may wake up one morning to find a
dagger stuck in your back... but then I guess that's a paradox, isn't it
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

89May25 6:09 pm from Anthony Bane @The Mall [455-8615]
(To all innocent passer-bys
Stay away from the castle in which bardia resides, for I will not tollerate
anyone getting in my way, and I they do interfere, I will stick ThorN though
them.

89May25 6:26 pm from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
I await you scum. You have no idea of the illusionist that you face. I am
presently in my Castle's Core shining my Plate Mail... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

If you would prefer another nuetral hex, send me word and me and my second
will meet you there.

89May25 8:41 pm from Anthony Bane @The Mall [455-8615]
This is really dorky. Meet me at 210, Buddia, and I'll smoosh you.

89May26 12:27 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Feedback Please!!!!

I was thinking of rolling a three sided dice (1:3) when a character in Mode 1
is encountered to see if he automatically attacks and engages the logged in
player's character. What you think?

89May26 12:45 am from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
I shall be at our meeting spot tommorrow scum.

89May26 2:46 am from Mandorallen @The Mall [455-8615]
I'm all for it. Just give us some warning.

89May26 3:16 am from Mandorallen @The Mall [455-8615]
Dan I beat the timeout. I got the Please hit Return prompt just before the
Keyboard logout. I'm glad I had those extra HP's for levels. He took me down
129points.

The henchman moca is dead.

Lord Mandorallen

89May26 7:48 am from Lawrence vanderMeer @The Mall [455-8615]
Well, Dan, I just discovered an error when I went to swotch my weapons around,
the error was something like this: I/O Error F3 PC=4E12

Was that already reported??

89May26 8:18 am from Troy Sponagle @The Mall [455-8615]
Who was the Northern wizard anyhow ?

89May26 2:41 am from Darren Boucher @STonefiST
Bardia only wears PLate Mail? What's his problem? Get some money man....

Dan: Don't add that feature, what happens if you are looking for a friend to
exchange weapons, or funds or just to leave a message and he had his mode on
1. Now you could leave him the message still bu if you add that you might get
killed by your friend or in my case, might kill your friend. :-) Leave it the
way it is now, works good. I do see your point though, it would be great if
you could do it for enemies only but Loyalty setting isn't enough to decide
enemies on.

89May26 8:34 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Lawrence:

Did you leave something in your right hand, or did you leave it empty? If
empty that is an old bug, that I have been too busy to get at as most are
aware of it. Strange thing is the error message F3 (Too Many Files Open)

89May26 8:40 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Darren:

I was thinking of having Mode 3 act as Mode 1 does now. That way one could be
highly offensive, as would be wanted in a warring scenario. Right now the
logged in player seems to have the edge, in being able to pick and choose the
fight. If Mode 2 remained the same and Mode 3 became like Mode 1, then I think
the non-logged in player and the logged in player would be more balanced in
terms of surprises. Think on that angle and give me your thoughts. Remember
even in my Mode 1 idea, there would be a roll for probability of encounter.
I don't know if you have noticed yet but until you meet a character in Mode 1,
in a multi-character populated section of hex, you can now go through the
entire list of who is there and choose your encounter. A Mode 1 setting will
stop the process as you go to the Encounter Chian File Menu.

89May26 1:18 pm from Darren Boucher @The Mall [455-8615]
Dan: that sounds okay, so if a person was in hiding in the far ends of the
world he could put it in mode 1 and have the surprise on everybody. That's
okay.

89May26 2:46 pm from James Hilchie @The Mall [455-8615]
White Knight has no weapon with which to hit a person.

89May26 4:02 pm from Gilbert Richard @The Mall [455-8615]
Your system is on drugs, Dan..
I was in movement, and all of a sudden, it started spacing and printing
characters every 160 spaces.. It spelled out..
"Run-time error 02,"and somethin really fast, then it spelled out "Program
aborted" and gave me the boot...

Either that or it's possessed...

89May26 1:54 pm from Darren Boucher @STonefiST
Council of Barons:

People on your council ask us to join and when we request it we are rejected.
WE are Duke Samwise and Prince Bardia. Two of the more influential people in
the world. You aren't pleasing us. Let's see how good the bounty you put on my
head is. Personally I don't think you'd ever pay it to anybody who got lucky
enough to kill me. I'm off to cause a large commotion in the north.

Duke Samwise

89May27 5:34 pm from Connell Monette @The Mall [455-8615]
I just found an error going to market:it said I/O error F3, PC=516B.

89May27 6:45 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
That F3 Error is "Too Many Files Open" Thanks.

89May27 10:21 pm from Gilbert Richard @The Mall [455-8615]
Is there supposed to be a Market in a Town?
'Cuz I'm on Hex 723(Mandorallen's town), and it won't let me into the
market..
It sez "Not on Castle or Town" or something to that effect...


89May27 10:41 pm from Connell Monette @The Mall [455-8615]
Another problem,I just bought some banded mail,and itisn't there.The
swindling merchants again,no doubt....:-)

89May28 1:53 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Yes swindle merchants and other erratic behavior seem to be taking place after
changing loyalty. This is a funny bug to appear at this time, for I was
thinking of making loyalty a much more difficult thing to change, like only
when you were releaved from your past liege or in the event of his death.
Could lend to some interesting intrigue. :-)
As that section of code shall have to be looked at anyway, this may be a good
time for any feedback in that regard.

89May28 2:22 am from James Hilchie @The Mall [455-8615]
It isn't a bad idea but if a traveler uses a Lords castle or town for healing,
how would the lord get the money then? Remember this is one of the big ways
Lords make money.

89May28 2:37 am from Mandorallen @The Mall [455-8615]
Until Dan changes the rules, I want those people in my towns to have loyalty
set to Mandorallen.

Harold the Smelly is dead for this offence.

Lord Mandorallen

89May28 8:38 am from Ian Smith @The Mall [455-8615]
Harold the Smelly?????????

89May28 9:55 am from Lawrence vanderMeer @The Mall [455-8615]
DAN! The Door just Crashed on me in the middle of battle! It said something
like :ABORT code 3, sending a (varing number here) and abort.

89May28 11:12 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Yeah Larry, seems to be a problem for long battles. Could you give abit more
detail in terms of battle scenario? Mode etc.

89May28 12:11 pm from Lawrence vanderMeer @The Mall [455-8615]
Well, I do believe I was in Mode 3, and Mandorellin (SP?) was in Mode 1.
Other than that, what do you want to know??

89May28 1:04 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Could be something to do with Mandorallen, for he is the other one to have
reported it.

89May28 2:21 pm from Mandorallen @The Mall [455-8615]
White Knight do you still live? Talk to me if you do.

89May28 2:46 pm from Mandorallen @The Mall [455-8615]
Dan I tried to hire Black Night II, and the program said that I was not
wizzard enough. This fellow was on the for hire list.

89May28 2:56 pm from Gilbert Richard @The Mall [455-8615]
You killed Harold?!??!
He wasn't doing anything!! Sheesh! Touchy, aren't we Mandorallen!

89May28 3:00 pm from Gilbert Richard @The Mall [455-8615]
Another Loyalty change bug, Dan..
After changing my loyalty, I chose "Character Sketch" in the Menu and it went
hairy and gave me an Error message too fast for me to read..

89May28 12:17 pm from Darren Boucher @STonefiST
any and all people in Castle Stonefist must have loyalty set to "Samwise" or
they will be killed when I return home from my crusades. Or better yet, I'll
have a henceman kill you for me.

Duke Samwise

89May28 5:12 pm from Shane Leahy @The Mall [455-8615]
Just had a I/O error F3, PC=516B. F3 means too many files open right?? Well,
if it does its probably because I was going to the market alot. The gambling
gcasnio sounds good, gladitor fighting could also be used making money for the
lords if they put a henchman in it.

89May28 6:02 pm from Lawrence vanderMeer @The Mall [455-8615]
White Night does not live, but his direct decendant does, White Night II.
What do you want with me??
White Night II

89May28 8:04 pm from jason rouse @The Mall [455-8615]
i was just playing TKC and when i changed my loyalty,it said I/O ERROR 99
PC=4E44.

89May28 8:27 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
We can all tel who reads the notes and who doesn't eh? :-)

89May28 11:21 pm from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Because of the difficulty of loyalty changing, there is a pardon of loyalty
checks in my southern mountain Kingdom. Mode settings shall not be overlooked
however and must be set at Mode 2 or my patrols will attack. This is the
Southern mountainous areas
of the board except for a few in the STonefiST realm wo the West of my
Kingdom.


Anthony:

Come scum... I await thee at your choosen spot and waste my time in checking
for your arrival, thus announce it or revoke your challenge.

89May28 9:55 pm from Darren Boucher @STonefiST
That's a good one! The idiot attacks Mandorallen. That's almost as stupid as
attacking Samwise. Remember Samwise isn't a man, he's an army.

Duke Samwise

89May28 7:18 am from Troy Sponagle @The Mall [455-8615]
I, General Kraken ly claim to these two hexes... 739,740 And there
surrounding water hexes... 791,792,793,738,741,686,687,688 The castle on this
ISLE shall be known from this day forth as KRAKEN CASTLE.

89May28 1:39 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
I have created a room "TKC Bug Report" in which to report or read any notices
of bugs in the TKC program. This may help to ease the flow of reading for such
occurances. This room will be only for game play chatter.

89May28 2:20 pm from Jetsam @The Mall [455-8615]
Baron Swiftwind, you giving away the rest of your Barony as well?

89May28 3:15 pm from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Due to the loyalty routines being fixed, my amnesty concerning Loyalties is
over. All in my southern Mountain Kingdom are to have thier Loyalty set to
"Prince Bardia" and Mode set to 2 or suffer the rath of my patrols.

Anthony:
I have become tired of waiting for you and wasting sessions checking on 210.
Therfore I have taken a temporary visit to the Castle STonefiST. When/if you
get to 210 let me know, for I am anxious to finish you off. If you don't
arrive soon however I shall consider you to be the coward that I have thought
you to be; hiding behind hired assasins; and return to my Castle to finish off
whomever you may send at me.

Duke Samwise:

If there should be any problem with my visit to your Barony, please let me
know. I have my Mode set to 1 so that the coward Anthony will not find me
unprepared for battle. If this concerns you I could set camp outside of your
walls.

89May28 4:20 pm from Duke Samwise @The Mall [455-8615]
One of my many men stumbled upon the ancient Fire Elf. He is still alive and
since when you leave him a message it says "Fire Elf has nothing to say to
you" you know it is the original Fire Elf. He's a great man well deserving of
his greatness. I'd just like to add, my men wont visit him there too often.
:-)

All followers of Samwise: Please kill Kael, or any mixture of Kael-Trajan on
sight, he is a trader. No excuses this time Kael, you're dead.

89May28 6:09 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
I have entered the changes that I had mentioned to the Mode Settings
reactions. Try them out and LET"S HEAR SOME FEEDBACK! I shall undate the help
file for those that missed the discussion between Darren and I.

89May29 9:56 pm from Michael J. Boucher @STonefiST
Jammer:

I understand you attacked me, then dropped carrier or something when you
discovered my power....I don't like that sort of thing, I was told by samwise
to let you live although you were in a town I was protecting for Tarjan with
out permission....Since you attacked me next time I find you I won't be so
Kind!!!

89May30 2:07 am from Darren Boucher @STonefiST
Enduval, kill Tarjan's followers at will. I was told of his trust. Being the
highly noble man I am, I trusted him with many things. He screwed the Duke and
now he's going to lose his life and anybody that associates with him as well.

89May30 3:40 am from James Hilchie @STonefiST
Baron Swiftwind is dead, so are alot of his followers. I was in the area, so
I decided to visit them and say hello. But no.... They had the nerve to attack
me. They wouldn't even give me the option to with draw, I did not seek thier
death, but much to thier misfortune I was a better fighter.

Is this entire world in mode 1? every time I meet some one they try to kill
me...... Why not give mode three a try, Some of us more powerful characters
don't want your blood. Just give us the chance to say NO.

Samwise,
lets make 788, 682, 630 open towns/castles until further notice.

Jetsam Royal Knight of Mandorallen

89May30 8:18 am from Darren Boucher @STonefiST
Mandorallen: Which towns'castles would you like me to clear? I'll help
honourabble men lik eyou and Jetsam anytime.

89May30 10:42 am from Michael J. Boucher @STonefiST
If anyone knows the whereabouts of this Jammer person, please let me know, I
owe him a deul....

Enduval the traveler

89May30 12:39 pm from Darren Boucher @STonefiST
Prince Bardia: If you must use mode 1 I would prefer you to enter Castle Cain
directly North West of Castle Stonefist. I took the Castle from Edward and
last I knew it was unoccupied.

89May30 from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Well things in the north seem to be shaking up somewhat.

Duke Samwise: I have grown tired of waiting for this Anthony (perhaps he is
no longer around to meet my challenge) and after my small service at your
Castle I have begun my journey homeward. Thank you for you hospitality.

89May30 1:26 pm from Mandorallen @The Mall [455-8615]
To the best of my knowledge, all the Northern town (except mine) are now
empty.

I would like to add that Dark Elf at 739 died, leaving another castle empty.

This world seems to have few warriors of power left.
Fire Elf, Prince Bardia, Samwise, Jetsam, and me Mandorallen.
If I forgot anyone please let me know.

Lord Mandorallen

89May30 3:44 pm from Ian Smith @The Mall [455-8615]
I am in search of good warriors to join my citystate. Any young adventurers
who wish for a Lord and a sponser, leave me a message. Also, I am annoucing
the new citystate of Candlekeep. All are welcome to use full facilities of my
castle, as long as they pledge loyalty to "abernathy" so long as they are
within it's walls. I prefer to remain a neutral until the current disputes are
settled. My castle is a subsiduary of Lord Mandorallen's great kingdom, and is
at 819.

Abernathy the Old

89May30 7:43 pm from JASON FOSTER @The Mall [455-8615]
Mandorallen: Your powerful men seem to be falling off like flies! Now the
quiet ones of us are rising to power. You will get a request in mail.

89May31 from Duke Samwise @The Mall [455-8615]
I have decided after much time that Mandorallen is no longer the ancient
villain he once was in the days of the senile Abernathy. I have come to the
conclusion that Mandorallen is a very honourable warrios deserving of much
respect. I forgive him for his treachery during the rising of Fredrick III.



89May31 12:35 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
A check is now being made to the Registered Alias File for validation before
creating a character. If validation is found to be correct, then the name of
that Password's Account is automatically added to the Character Name Field.
This is the first step towards having characters that are killed remain so
until thier Alias Account Scrolls.

89May31 2:39 pm from Jetsam @The Mall [455-8615]
Your so kind.

89May31 4:44 pm from Ian Smith @The Mall [455-8615]
The _senile_ Abernathy remembers more from the past few days, than Samwise has
his entire life.

Abernathy the Old (and not senile!)

89May31 6:01 pm from General Darkstorm @The Mall [455-8615]
Beware, enemies of the crown... a new alliance has been forged... Long
live Prince Bardia, the greatest ruler to walk the kingdom.

89May31 from Duke Samwise @The Mall [455-8615]
Well Abernathy the Senile is dead. Anybody who puts a price on my head is not
going to be a friend of mine. Sorry we all have our life long enemies and he
is one person I could never pardon. I hope it doesn't affect my relationship
with Mandorallen. You must understand that Abernathy was and always would be
an enemy to Samwise. I must say, he tried hard in battle but he was no match
for me.

Duke Samwise

89May31 from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Well done my good Duke!

89Jun01 12:34 pm from Lawrence vanderMeer @The Mall [455-8615]
I commend your actions, m'lord!

89Jun01 6:40 pm from Glen Fitzgerald @The Mall [455-8615]
Good job Duke Samwise...I well remember what he did to my old friend
Belgarion....he deserved every bit of what he got.

Silk

89Jun01 11:33 pm from James Hilchie @The Mall [455-8615]
Trandor IV or something like that was in mode 1. His death was his fault.

If you want to use mode 1, Please tell us the hex your on so you don't get
killed by your self, or at least leave your name, if your in the core of a
hex.

89Jun01 1:34 pm from James Hilchie @The Mall [455-8615]
Grondrol the Green, what mode are you in, and what is your loyalty.

Please answer. Thanks.

89Jun01 from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Enduval:

We seem to be sharing a hex at the moment. Your Liege can explain my presence.
Do not be concerned.

89Jun01 from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Within a few days shall be the Centenial of the death of the last of the
Fredrick Line. Namely King Fredrick III. Being of Royal Blood I feel that this
day should be marked. In so doing I propose to hold a contest that shall begin
on that day. I have set my man "Tremptatious" loose to hide in the Kingdom at
large. The first three contestants to find him and leave a message with him
shall be elligable for the next stage of the contest. They will then have to
journey to my Castle in the Southern Mountains. There they will set thier Mode
to Mode 2 and have a joust. I shall ask Dan to oversee this event. They will
have to draw for turns. By that I mean who goes first and so on. Any that
retire from the battle will be considered defeated and the opponent given the
chance for healing before the next match. They can fight on till death should
occure if they wish. This will be a round robin between the three finalists.
The prizes are as follows.

1)First to Find Trempatious 100sp
2)Second to Find Tremptatious 50 sp
3)Third to Find Tremptatious 25sp
4)Winner of the Round Robin 400sp


PLease announce your intentions to partisipate in this room or you will not
qualify. I hope that this quest and joust may take some time so as to retain
the memory of the Fredricks in our hearts and minds that much longer. The
contest will begin on the 100th day and continue until there is a final
winner.

89Jun01 3:36 pm from Anthony Bane @The Mall [455-8615]
To the Duke Samwise:

I salut you, Duke Samewise. Even though we are on opposing sides, I agree with
you that Abernathy cannot be pardoned. As a matter of fact, I belive that is
the only thing we EVER agreed on.

89Jun01 6:24 pm from Lomiar @The Mall [455-8615]

I shall be making a journey to Haven in the name of Fire Elf. I trust the
castle remains in good condition, and to Fire Elf's alligance.

-Lomiar, Minion of Fire Elf

89Jun01 6:55 pm from Eric Hayashi @The Mall [455-8615]
Hello, people. I hereby pledge my loyalty to Samwise and all his allies. YAAY!

89Jun01 10:01 pm from Chris Gray @The Mall [455-8615]
You killed me twice because I had to change pswds., and I used the same name
twice, I will be back, Mandorallean!!!And you shall die!!!

89Jun01 10:15 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Well there's a confident player. BTW Mandorallen is third in terms of age of
creation in TKC. He is right behind a character that hasn't moved since day 1
and Prince Bardia, whose regenerating bug I still haven't addressed.

89Jun02 from Michael J. Boucher @The Mall [455-8615]
Hey how do you spell Oxymoron
89Jun02 7:23 pm from Darren Boucher @STonefiST
Anthony Bane:

I have never disagreed with you but if I ever find you I'm going to tear you
limb ffrom limb for not showing the Prince proper respect.

Eric Hayashi: I hope you know where Castle Stonefist is, it is my home castle
althou I myself am not there rigth now and may not return while assassins are
in the midst. It's 265.

89Jun02 10:23 pm from Michael J. Boucher @STonefiST
Fire-Elf:

My Subject Chargrin is in your hex and trapped there by water, try not to
kill him until boats are created....

89Jun02 3:01 am from Mandorallen @The Mall [455-8615]
Lomiar,
Haven is fine. I was passing threw the other day, It was occupied by Grondrol
the Green.
Could you please keep the west, core and north west hex sections open. This
extends the Northern Highway by a hex. I would be willing to pay small toll
fees for this service.

Write Me If You want to discuss this
more.
Thanks
Lord Mandorallen

89Jun02 4:07 am from James Hilchie @The Mall [455-8615]
Chris Grey, I killed you because your character attacked me. If you were so
weak why did you set yourself to mode 1 (You do know that is the automatic
attack mode.) I would not have harmed you if your mode had been 3 or 2.

Don't blaim me for your cockyness/stupidity. This was not the first time I
warned others about this. If your reincarnated character holds a grudge, well
I won't be hiding.

89Jun02 6:58 am from General Darkstorm @The Mall [455-8615]
Longknife is dead. His attempt to enter The royal lands without
proper loyality has ended... Warning to Fleetfoot do not come past the hex 65
perimeter... unless set properly...

89Jun02 7:12 am from Shadow Lord @The Mall [455-8615]
I have claimed the hex 682 as my own.I am starting an assasins guild,and all
who would like to join will be weell equiped,and protected.Any pplayers who
need an assasin may contact the guild via mail to myself.The base fee
presently is 50 sp's per level.Any who oppose the guild shall face all members
as one foe.Be forewarned. PS....donatioons will be accepted...:-)

89Jun02 8:30 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Nothing like telling them where to find ya. :-)

89Jun02 9:40 am from General Darkstorm @The Mall [455-8615]
Wisdom doesn't seem in abundance among the assassins... :)

89Jun02 9:49 am from Sir Nevil Smythe @The Mall [455-8615]
I am looking for a few good and loyal men to serve under me and my lord. You
shall be equipped and treated fairly. All those interested leave me mail.

89Jun02 11:37 am from Gilbert Richard @The Mall [455-8615]
Mandorallen: Grondol is set on Mode 2, and his allegiance is set to whomever
owns the castle.. He's just there for a pit stop to pick up some equipment,
then he'll be on his way...

89Jun02 from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Perhaps those int eh Kingdom are too busy warring to enter into contest.
Therefore the contest is null and void. Perhaps on the bi-centenial we can get
more response.

89Jun02 2:17 pm from James Hilchie @The Mall [455-8615]
Shadow Lord,
Any Person who uses the castle at 788, may not like your choice of 682.
Wouldn't you be better off in a castle anyways.

I had thought that Mandorallen had declaired 788, 682, 630 all to be open.
Meaning any could use these places. You would be better off to buy your own
castle but silver is a little hard to get in that quantity.

89Jun02 2:26 pm from Gilbert Richard @The Mall [455-8615]
Isn't the castle at 630 Council Property?

89Jun02 8:44 pm from JASON FOSTER @The Mall [455-8615]
WAS. Listen you people have to leave weapons in your RIGHT hand. So Genesta
you live for now because with out the weapon in your hand you get a runtime
error and your life. Did you buy a none and place it in you right hand? If
so go east to Stonefist work for a day and buy a weapon and place it in your
right hand. Then get out or I'll kill you next time.
( The assasian Guild oppser )

89Jun02 from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Just to clear up this matter of the island on hexes 788 and 789. My man has
secured it and claimed it in my name. Therfore I publicly now lay claim to it.
All characters are to stay off the island until further notice. All
tresspassers shall be dealt with by the sword. No exceptions!

89Jun02 from Duke Samwise @The Mall [455-8615]
I may have to go north again if this Shadow Lord insist on staying there.

89Jun02 from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
Cannot Mandorallen handle affairs of the North?

89Jun03 1:29 am from Mandorallen @The Mall [455-8615]
I can hanle the north, but this is a concern of your as this would hinder
troop movements from your Island Castle Prince Bardia.

I have already looked in the area. This king of assasins may not be as stupid
as he first sounded.

89Jun03 from Prince Bardia @The Mall [455-8615]
So be it Baron Mandorallen, I shall look more into the matter.

89Jun03 7:45 am from JASON FOSTER @The Mall [455-8615]
Mandorallen: Leave me mail if you need any help with matters of the north.
We can arrange something.

89Jun03 from Duke Samwise @The Mall [455-8615]
I have come to the conclusion that all the major lords left in the world are
most honourable. last night I called on Prince Bardia and Mandorallen for
help. This morning when I logged in they had both finished helping me. I can
not begin to thank them more. I think we've finally advanced to teh point
where all the powerful characters in the world, what we call the honourable
lords can actually trust each other. I think it is time that we can actually
coexist to destroy those opposing us instead of fighting each other. i really
do belive it can really work as I've seen many opportunities where i could
have been killed but these honoorable lords did not use my moments of weakness
to stump me out, they instead let a worthy man live so he could help them in
the future. Of course it was a good decision but none the less it would be
most tempting to kill the renown Duke Samwise. unfortunately they wouldn't
have gone up much levels as I spent all my money. :-) I'd like to propose a
new council. A counsil where Mandorallen, jetsam, Samwise and prince Bardia
can sit. Perhaps when Fire Elf comes back from his island hideaway he can
adapt to the new world and join the council of Lords. Dan could you create a
room for our "Coucil of Lords" and invite those four alias accounts.

89Jun04 9:37 pm from The Drow Overlord @The Mall [455-8615]
Hello, my friends. It is time that I revealed myself. I am tired or running my
castles in silence, watching the world but going unwatched. The Drow Overlord
has decided to come out from his retreat to see what changes have come over
the world since I was last in the open. Indeed times have changed. Of a world
which was once covered with rolling hills, grassy plains, and crystal-clear
lakes, all I see now are upthrust rock mountains, muddy gouged fields covered
by bones, and dark murky bogs. This world needs a single ruler, not fifty.

89Jun04 9:40 pm from The Drow Overlord @The Mall [455-8615]
BTW Anthony Bane:
Your character Maelstrom was found snooping in places he shouldn't be. He is
now dead.

89Jun04 9:48 pm from Anthony Bane @The Mall [455-8615]
Well, Samwise, it appears you won't get to rip me apart. I'm DEAD!

89Jun04 10:12 pm from Anthony Bane @The Mall [455-8615]
My lord Samwise, I found out the deed of mercy you performed on me, and I
thank you. I have re-created my character, but this time, he is under a new
set of morals... as you were the last to show mercy to my father(the old
maelstrom), I will serve you. I have managed to arm and armour myself with a
few pitiful items, and will serve you for no fee, and follow you
unquestionably.

89Jun05 from Duke Samwise @The Mall [455-8615]
Who is this ferret that dared to threaten me. He demanded I let him have
Castle Cain which is adjacent to Castle Stonefist and is mine by rights of
battle with Edward Cain himself. This ferret was unable to even hit me with my
army on. I was really disappointed. I thought at least he could defend himself
when he had en ego as big as his.

Duke Samwise

89Jun05 8:24 am from Darren Boucher @STonefiST
Anthony Bane:

Samwise is a man of peace forced into war. Not everyone has to suffer because
of the war. I did show you mercy and I guess I won't regret it. Welcome to the
realm of Stonefist.

89Jun05 3:30 pm from Ian Smith @The Mall [455-8615]
I find ebryone's chatter quite amusing. Abernathy of olddid not kill anybody
except Booner who rebelled. Obviously everyone got quite fustrated when every
character on the board threw themselves against him, and if they died, well it
appears their kin blamed it on him. Abernathy the "villian" did not kill
Belgarion. He scolded him for slaying Swiftwind, but took no offensive action.
If you say I can't be pardoned, tell me what I must be pardoned for doing? I
commited no crime as you can clearly see by visiting the "library".

89Jun05 3:52 pm from Genesta @The Mall [455-8615]
Samwise, I honor thee and pledge allegience to you.

Thy loyal servant,

Genesta

89Jun05 6:14 pm from Grondol the Green @The Mall [455-8615]
And yet another map error to be reported..
Hex 956 is listed as being water on the Map, but in reality is Open
country..
I could make a real living off of this!
Someone might want to take alook at Hex 676, it looks out of place... One
hex of water surrounded by Open country..

89Jun05 7:52 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
676 is correct although pwehaps a swamp would have been a better choice. You
have been payed for the other find however.

89Jun05 8:28 pm from Sir Nevil Smythe @The Mall [455-8615]
I would just like to tell the owner of the town at 965 that I am there for a
few days and will be moving on. I make no claims for it.

89Jun05 10:08 pm from Shadow Lord @The Mall [455-8615]
Well,it seems that the "Great" lords have discovered I'm not as stupid as
they had hoped.Too bad for you,because trying to kill me has incured the
wrathof "The Guil of Scorpion Assasins".Yoou can TRY to find me,then
again,don't hold your breath....
..... because when I put a knife in your back,your lungs will make a sick
poping noise..HAHAHaHaHahahahah......
-The King of Assasins-

89Jun06 from Michael J. Boucher @The Mall [455-8615]
I just got out in time....I had 4 min left....

89Jun06 12:37 am from Jetsam @The Mall [455-8615]
Who left the message to me. It was unsigned.
And where is the northern hex you were traveling to????

89Jun06 from Duke Samwise @The Mall [455-8615]
Abernathy, I refure to pardon a man who puts a price on my head, a man who at
the time wanted nothign more than peace. You also put prices on lots of other
good men at that time. I made you pay for it and should I hear you are brought
back to life through some more cheap magic I will put you to sleep again. Rest
in peace or die!

Genesta: Its good to have you loyal to me but in today's world that means
being on friendly terms with the prince and Lord Mandorallen.

89Jun05 5:47 pm from Jason Foster @STonefiST
Gee I heard you lost over 100 hp's :-)

89Jun06 2:42 am from Darren Boucher @STonefiST
You heard wrong Jason. The "ferret" I found never even hit me and Shaun Dares
was here when I attacked. I must admit he must have had some half decent armor
as it took me a few minutes to catch the little bugger not like the wimp I had
found earlier invading my kingdom. Killed in about 10 sec. :-)

89Jun06 7:19 am from JASON FOSTER @The Mall [455-8615]
Hey you killed him just after I recreated him. Since you did some
housecleaning before then he died.

89Jun06 10:43 am from Ian Smith @The Mall [455-8615]
I hated to be unkind, but I get a bit annoyed when people attack me. If you
recall, there was a large booty on my head too. I guess that's why Samwise the
Greedy tried to kill me before.

Abernathy the Dead :-)

89Jun06 11:31 am from Jetsam @The Mall [455-8615]
The Shadow Lords lungs popped, and his ribs cracked and grated as I sent my
sword through his tiny body. He had the wrong loyalty in Mandorallens town.

89Jun06 3:23 pm from Shadow Lord @The Mall [455-8615]
Apparently,Jetsam has killed a lesser clone of mine.I think that you should
know I am not as weak as that,my poor foolish friend.My true body is safly at
my OWN town,which is hidden far from any foolish men like you.For killing a
lesser brother of mine,you shall pay dearly.With your life,if not your soul.

89Jun06 5:28 pm from The Drow Overlord @The Mall [455-8615]
Do not be fooled, Jetsam. I have come in contact with five different
Shadowlords. He must force his followers to have an account called Shadowlord,
so as to confuse the populace.

89Jun06 8:41 pm from Fire Elf @The Mall [455-8615]
Shadowlord, you bore me. If you enjoy 'poping' lungs, come play with me. I'll
fry your entire frail mortal body.

Drow Overlord: I do not remember the Drow surfacing for many a century. What
is the occasion?

89Jun06 9:24 pm from The Drow Overlord @The Mall [455-8615]
Merely to Observe the world, my friend the Fire Elf. Not in order to fight so
much as to observe.

89Jun06 9:29 pm from Anthony Bane @The Mall [455-8615]
Who owns the castle at hex 529? no-one is there, and if nobody else claims it,
I'll claim it for Samwise.

89Jun06 9:31 pm from The Drow Overlord @The Mall [455-8615]
Keep away from that castle, Bane, or you'll have me to answer to! It's not my
main, but I don't like little snoops! But then again, you should know that by
now...

89Jun06 from Duke Samwise @The Mall [455-8615]
If there is a Castle there it is in my world. Go ahead and claim it Anthony.
Make sure your loyalty is set to Samwise and I will be there soon to help if
anybody opposes you.

Drow Lord: Are you going to oppose this Duke?

89Jun06 from Duke Samwise @The Mall [455-8615]
Fleetfoot & Warhammer:

Playing war games with my guards? I hope they hurt you good but you must have
realized you barely scratched them. Did Warhammer haev to carry Fleetfoot away
or was he buried? You shall die if I or any of my men find you.

Samwise followers: Please attack Fleetfoot and Warhammer on sight if you find
them. They were last spotted using daggers so even the weakest of you have a
chance.
