89Sep01 11:25 pm from Dan Johnson
As I have been having a lot of hassle with the seiging technique that I have
been attempting I thought to add another approach. The second approach could
also have multi-player attacks on a Gate. What I was thinking was creating yet
another file. (Gee these things have a tendancy to grow to capacity) The file
would be written to when a gate was seiged giving the stats as it is _trying_
to do at present. The total gate hit points would be kept track of in this
file until either the Utility Run or a player, with a character in the Castle,
repaired it through the archetech's Office. This would allow multiple
Town/Castle attacks as well as making my life easier at the moment (I think).
The obvious direction would be to make Castle/Town Record Files, something I
was trying to avoid all this time, yet as we are only talking about disk space
it would be something I could live with. Then much more detail could be added
while the file was 'just sitting there anyway'. Such things as soldiers in the
Castle for example. This could be a steriotype 'Soldier' that could keep
appearing at the gate until the total in the file equalled zero etc.. Any pros
or cons to this type of thing?

89Sep02 8:41 am from Thor
I now declare Warlord as owner of 753. May none oppose him.

Where is Mandorallen through all this?

89Sep02 12:03 pm from Thor
Warlord now owns castle 753. May none oppose him..

89Sep02 6:11 pm from Dan Johnson
I am fairly certain that Gate Seige is working now. To reset the gate to full
HPS at present after an attack would take attacking another Castle/Town so as
to reset the SEIGE.DAT file location. I will add a feature in the market place
next to dothis chore. Until then Lords best keep a close eye on thier
holdings.

89Sep02 from Nikodemos
***** attention *****

The kings men have nbeen busy since castle storming was installed....Many a
improper loyalty has been punished and many castles and towns that were once
closed will soon be open for business once again....

753, 698, 965, 739, 682, 630, 573, 973, 788 and 286 are all clear and many
will soon become public....Soon the rest of the kingdom towns and castles
withou lord will also fall.

Those in keeps that are locked that have not been given them by
Mandorallen will find they are dead within the next few days....All the
Stepsons are now in the world, till this point they were only patrolling one
at a time.....Sargent Hellfire is now dead as well, killed by Tempus
Thales.....


89Sep03 3:24 am from Dan Johnson
There is a down side of the seige of gates right now. The map is being
overwritten with garbage once the seiging is complete. The Kings men were
lucky enough to have a quite night that they could wait until I re-loaded
backups of the map file. I shall post when it is working as it should. Until
then I would suggest at least to try chatting me befoe doing it as it will
make TKC unassessable until I go to backups until this nasty is fixed.

89Sep03 from Draken-Korin

Once again, let it be known that Mandorallen is the true king and all must
remain loyal to him unless permission has been granted to do otherwise...

The Stepsons strickly inforce this rule and we are now out in force!

89Sep04 6:52 am from Warlord
I thank thee Thor for giving me the town at 753. A henchman will arrive
shortly to open the town for guests. Guests are welcome, provided they don't
attack the gatekeeper once he arrives and I have knowledge of your presence...
best to have a lord inform me that you're coming...

89Sep04 10:52 am from Dan Johnson
GATE STORMING


The Gate Storming works as follows:
When trying to enter a Castle/Town with a locked gate the option to storm the
gate is given. If answered affermative while the character is beating at the
gate with his/her weapon, archers are firing arrows from the Towers of the
Keep. Some of the character record fields, of "Archers from the Towers"'s
temporary record, are weighted by the Treasury Value of the Town/Castle, whose
gate is under attack.
I will try to add more weighting to other fields now that it seems to be
functioning. Such things as weapons used from the Towers. With a temporary
weapons and armour files, one could encounter everything from arrow to
catupalt barrages from the Towers of Keeps, depending on thier weighted level.

89Sep04 from Michael J. Boucher
Dan:
I haven't given a lot of thought to the level of the dummy value, but James
and I agree that the armor level of castles should be that of field plate, and
that towns should be a mid-level barding....(this justifies the price of
castles) you could make the walls stronger by building them but that would
have to be another menu...The investment points should directly affect the
level of character shooting from the wall...Perhaps have 501 investpoints =
max level and work down from there proportionatly....I haven't got that part
figured out yet....

89Sep04 9:48 pm from Dan Johnson
I've taken the game offline until some bugs that have appeared through Seiging
Routines are remedied.

89Sep05 6:50 am from Dan Johnson
I've loaded version 1.63 until seige debugged in version 1.64

89Sep05 3:27 pm from Dan Johnson
Since yesterday a few bugs with the seige routines were reported. I hope that
they have now been fixed. Chat will be left on, when I'm around, to report any
irregularities should they arise.

89Sep05 11:52 pm from Fire Elf


Mortals, Deamons, Gods, Undead, or otherwise, hear this:

I have brought two beings into the world. Death Bringer, and Light Bringer.
These two entities represent All that is Evil and Dark, and all that is Good
and Wholesome.
These are not mortal, but beings of pure energy. Their Introduction into the
world cost me a high price in Magic. Those that attempt to harm these beings
while they are still young shall answer to me, and my followers.
Those that attempt to harm them after these beings mature, well, I pity them.

89Sep06 1:07 am from Dan Johnson
I have Castle Archers in top of the line PLate Armour and Town Archers in type
5, whatever that is...

89Sep06 from Michael J. Boucher
Great Dan....That is what i had hoped for....now we just have to figure out
what to do about levels....

89Sep06 10:51 am from Dan Johnson
Perhaps a preportional thing like you had mentioned before. A Castle with
500IPs having the maximum amount of XPs assigned to the Archers and taking off
a percentage as the IPs lessen. Another approach would be to introduce a
special weapons list file that would weight what weapon is being used.
Anything from Arrows to Boiling Oil to Catapults. Then again a combination of
the two would keep the attacker even more on his/her toes.

89Sep06 from Michael J. Boucher
The Experience should not drop with the gates weakening though....unless the
level of the attacker drops with this loss of hp...I have to think more on
that one...

89Sep07 8:58 am from Dan Johnson
Well character level is not a held field, but calculated each time needed by
using the XPs of a character. Therefore lessening the value in the XPs is in
fact lessening the level. And visa versa.

89Sep07 from Nikodemos
The castle at 96 is now an open castle as is the town at 682....
Sargent Warhammer and Sargent Hellfire are dead

89Sep08 12:06 am from Dan Johnson
Seems three of the five Travelling Merchant NPCs have vanished. Feedback is
always appreciated with new additions such as these.

89Sep08 8:38 pm from Fire Elf
An Injustice has been done. My Second in Command has been murdered!
Littlefoot was found dead upon my now empty Treasury Floor. Even my Magic
could not revive him permantly, but it brought him back from the cluches of
death long enough for him to finger Razor as the Culprit.

Razor, where ever you are, thou shalt feel my revenge. The money is Trivial,
but killing my men is punishable by eternity of torment. I shall enjoy sucking
the life slowly from your body.

89Sep08 9:31 pm from Fire Elf
Razor is dead. But yet, somehow, his death was too easy, it did not fully
avenge the death of my noble friend.
Avengment may have to turn elsewhere: Razor is one of Mandorallen's men.

Mandorallen: By what means do you send men to murder and rob Netural Castles?

89Sep08 3:30 am from Dan Johnson
Seige Modifications:
When an attack happens to the gate of a Castle/Town, the resultant values of
the Archer's Fields are saved. Such things as Hit Points. If a player(s) were
to attack the same Castle/Town again, providing the seige routines were not
used in between on another Castle/Town, that saved file would be used to
determine the Archer's characteristics. The Gate would not then be renewed
until another Castle/Town were seiged. I plan to have an option available soon
in the Market Menu that will refresh this file. I also plan to make it
impossible for one character to take any Town/Castle alone. Feedback on future
mods in this theme would be appreciated.

89Sep08 1:09 pm from Dan Johnson
The gods of the Realm had reports from thier minions that the mortals of the
Realm, through black magic, were practising a form of alchemy, changing Ore to
Silver. The magic was spreading through the realm and they felt that it must
be stamped out before all order of power balance were wiped out and a war of
all wars were to develope. They cast thier spells unto the Realm, yet were not
sure how powerful this black magic may have been and needed one in mortal form
to ensure that their magic had worked. Their minions found such a mortal who,
for a price waggered against the possible loss of his erternal soul, ventured
forth to a sight of the black magic manifestation to summon apon the evil
demons. This test was to see if the gods had banished them forever. The gods
gathered to watch this mortal, as with thier own magic, he floated over 753's
Town Walls to what await him inside. Only time was to tell if the black evil
had been subdued...

89Sep08 11:11 pm from Dan Johnson
I have looked into the Slave Buying Routines and there were some potential
bugs in the code. I have fixed and tested them. All appears to be functioning
with that option now.

89Sep08 from Dalisari
***** Attention *****

There was a problem in the upper levels of the Stepson's guild, A traitor
was discovered but not before 3 people loyal to Mandorallen were
killed....The preson responsible for this was Nikodemos....He gave out the
password and was held accountable....He was told to his pentalty and accepted
it and died like a man....He was sent to battle the all but immortal
Thor....This will pay for his sins and also lower Thors riduclas hp's...

The new leader of the Stepsons will be Draken-Koren...

89Sep09 from Tempus Thales
Draken-Korin is a poor choice and we the Stepsons will choose by the ancient
fashon...we will fight for the honor of leading....

89Sep09 from Dalisari
The Hell-Hounds are now roming the world and all should wathc for them as
they are patroling as Manorallens standing army....They appear as

are members of Dalisari's platoon...

89Sep09 6:58 am from Secret Service
Thor has been found in the center of hex 671 in mode 1. I believe he has
only a dagger in his right hand. His loyality is a seven digit number if I
recall correctly...

89Sep09 7:26 am from Warlord
Today, my henchmen wandered by the towns at 753 and 723. I have claimed
both of these as my own (the 723 claim was made in the gossip tree) I don't
mind visitors, nor are my men going to attack these towns, but I'd prefer if
the gates were left open.

89Sep09 9:57 am from Thor
Yup, I'm there all right....but I'm still have my 2hnd swords.

89Sep09 from Tempus Thales
Draken-Korin was a good foe, but he has lost and if no other Stepson
challenges me, I claim the right to rule by victory....

Warlord:

If you claim those towns as your own, your life is forfiet....
Stepson's:

Gather your hell-hounds and secure those two towns....

89Sep09 from Mradhon Vis
I will accept Tempus as leader...

89Sep09 from Conrad Hussey
Whoever owns town 753 ,I wish to join ,so just leave me

89Sep09 from Tempus Thales
753 is a kingdom town and owned by Mandorallen....It is ussually open for
business as is 698....I will be sending Stepson's or Hell-Hounds to
investigte...

Those there MUST be loyal to Mandorallen and in mode2....and have
permission if the gate is closed...
BTW, Red boy was found in 682 with the gates closed and loyal to Thor...This
is not permitted and he was eliminated...

89Sep09 from Michael J. Boucher
Don't use the slave function if you are in a locked town/castle right now
because it is not functioning properly and will teleport you to where the
slave is born....thus locking you out! As I have doen so many times now!

I will say this tho....Castles that are builtyt up are very! very hard to
take!

89Sep09 from Cappen Verra
I will follow Tempus as leader of the Stepsons...

89Sep09 from Khazad-dum
I will also follow Tempus....He has proved himself an able captain....

89Sep09 9:11 pm from Fire Drone
I have put a claim into the ruling of town 573. Stepson's do not assualt the
gates as the town is well fortified with full IP's and 750hp's on the gate.
If Mandorallen rejects my request I invite you to test the gate yourself
though I await inside for the one who finally breaks througgh.

89Sep09 11:37 pm from Mandorallen
Fire Elf,
It seems that Razor had a grudge against you, I was not even aware that
he existed until after you told of his death. I hope you realize that I had no
part in your troubles. I have always held Haven as yours.


Two things.

1) A Lord must own a castle, some do control more.

2) A town only gets you the status of Mayor. If I chose to give the Honour.
I do not accept demands. In fact they bug the hell out of me.....
This does seem to become bad for your health.

Have I made this clear? If not I can have your confusion put to rest.

King Mandorallen

89Sep09 from Dalisari
I am really amazed at times at the lack of good sence of some people....
Fire Drone:

Let me point out a few facts to you, first of all, the town in which you
sit was advanced to 500ip's by me, as a favor to the Stepson's who needed a
place to store thir Hell-hounds....A barracks so to speak, I don't know who
the careless person was who left the door un-guarded but he will be punished
I am sure....I would send my personal guard to teach you a lesson but what the
Stepsons will do to anyone they find there will be enough I suppose....They
are bound to look upon this as a personal insult....

Next, I suppose that you are un-aware(since it was I and not you who built
the town) That the walls are guarded by archers and not swordsmen...the walls
also only have an ac eaquall to that of Banded armor... I have had occasion to
test a town(thanks Dan !!;-) with 500ip's and a 14th level character can take
it by himself.... and this isn't saying that a smaller group couldn't ....I
only had 4 of my 300hp's left after but it can be done...

The last thing I wanted to say was...."You must be the biggest idiot since
Dreadlock!! You actually dared the king to try and have you taken out.... That
is stupidity to the extreme.....You wanted his minions to remove you? Well
I'm sure that when the Hell-Hounds and Stepsons return from thier current
campaign at 265/266 they will be happy to help you leave....That is if your
stupid enough to stay that long or if Mandorallen doesn't go down and kill
yoiu in person first!!

89Sep11 10:56 am from Dan Johnson
The Travelling Merchant's dissapearence has been solved while running a NPC
test. Seems they were sent out in the world in Mode 1 and have probably met
thier fate in Utility Runs. This should of meant an increase in the purse of
whatever charater encountered them.

89Sep11 4:09 pm from Thor
Mandorallen, we must re negotiate our pack. Leave me mail...

89Sep09 from Tempus Thales

The Stepson's are returning from their battle with Dreadlocks forces and
will arrive home shortly....We lost quite a few Hell-Hounds to Dreadlock but
all the Stepson's survived....(Other than those killed in the power struggle
that is...)...

We will rest a few days then we will dislodge all squatters from keeps
they have stolen....
Anyone who finds a castle/town gate locked please inform Mandorallen and
myself so we can open it....Those inside not given permission will be
killed....
BTW, Fire Drone:

I hear you have taken control of 573....That is unfortunate....It will cost
us a few Lives to retake it but know this....If you are not out of there and
the gates open by tommorrow night your life will be forfiet when we
arrive....There have been 4 patrols gone by today and all report that castle
is occupied...there are people watching the door so you would be wise to leave
soon....I have control of that castle by Mandorallens order and I take that to
mean I have the right to evict you as well....

89Sep09 8:40 pm from Thor
Tempus: You have a big mouth. I think the time is high that someone should
close it for you. Maybe even slice it off.

Fire Drone: Get out of Mandorallens town or i'll kick you out.

Mandorallen: I have hiden the Troll King, were no one can find him. There he
shall grow back into himself. And In 2 weeks time...he shall return.

89Sep09 9:57 pm from Mandorallen
I hope to install a new age to the Kingdom soon.

How ever I am in need of a dynamic, talented warrior to take up the
final position in this change.

All that I require is garrenteed Loyalty, and the ability to survive
from the warior. Great levels or wealth will increase your chances for
sucess.

Applicants are asked to use mail.

Mandy:

I do beg your pardon. But all the same, you should keep a stronger hand on
your men. It speaks ill of you when I have to defend my castle from an ally's
men.
And Haven is indeed a Castle. Complete with Weapons, Armour, Healing, Slaves,
and Henchmen.

Conrad:

Thoust name art new to my lips. But such an offering shall not be looked upon
in a grey light. You are most welcome to join my ranks. Set your loyalty to
Fire Elf, and keep an eye on the town you currently hold for me.

89Sep10 from Tempus Thales
Thor:

Your tongue is going to get you into a lot of trouble....You fail to realize
that you are NOT immortal There are ways to see to your death as well....Not
to mention that of your slaves...

89Sep10 4:35 pm from Thor
Tempus : I hope your allies don't make to much noise when I find, and kill
you...
You can't hide from me. If you hide in a castle armed to the teeth, I'll
bash in the walls and slice you as easly as I did with Nikodemis. If you hide
on an island I'll walk across the water and drown you with my own hands...if
you hide in a allies castle...I'll bash his gates down too.
I don't take well to threats from insultant lesser beings like yourself.

89Sep10 5:55 pm from Fire Drone
To all: I have left 573 as I came into the town. ( you must realize I won
it.) I have left because Mandorallen did not give me Mayorship.
Fire Elf: I wish to join you and aide you. Leave me mail I have a severe
amount of wealth and levels. Seems these mortals are becoming restless with
war again.

89Sep10 10:16 pm from Fire Elf
Fire Drone:

I have heard little about you in these lands. I will be glad to speak with you
non-the-less, since I am always looking for mew men.

All Followers of Fire Elf:

Leave me mail. I'm starting to forget who is loyal to me.

89Sep10 from Conrad Hussey
Dear FIRE ELF I bow to you but I have just finished a killing spree
intensionally killing FIRE DRONE and one of his followers,and greatly rising
in experience ,but while patrolling I was set to your loyalty and I met
Deathbringer ,and the Sped attacked me,I am sorry I did not mean for this to
happen but I wasn't going to kill myself so Deathbringer got brought ..I am
sorry but either he was in mode 1,or he was loyal to someone else ..By this I
am just telling my sins but in no way will I be taken to be exicuted,but I
believe someother form of punishment may be in order ,but remember I was
honest enough to tell you what happened when I simply could of ignored his
premature death if there is another way I could make up for his death in some
other way ,please leave me mail..TO LIFE IMMORTAL!!

a Lord. I believe I could be a great asset to your forces, and would be proud
to help in the future.

89Sep11 from Conrad Hussey
Mandorallen I believe that the Warlord is the mortal that you are looking
for he is the only one truely suited to any task you wish .I am not saying I
wouldn't like a lordship but I'm only13th level ,and not truely experienced in
battle

89Sep11 from Dalisari

Spud!! You are making some very dangerous enemies....the castles are not to
be attacked....They all have owners .....The towns however are supposed to be
open and I did open 682 so you may use that one if the person in 630 isn't too
pissed off at you....:-)

BTW I doubt the Stepsons or Hell-Hounds are likely to help you fight Fire
Elf as he is fellow lord of this kingdom....

89Sep13 10:38 am from Dan Johnson
Seems that Slaves were still demanding 30sps per day or running away and
becoming henchmen. This has been remedied. They become henchmen now when the
character whose loyalty they have is killed. Thanks to Mike Boucher for
finding this oversight through a series of frustrating experiences.

89Sep13 6:09 pm from Warlord
Mandorallen, forget that Lordship request... I have fallen to my knees...

Note to all: if I find out who killed me, the guilty one shall pay... the
payment being DEATH.

I had to delete all PLAYER LOGS thismorning (the file used in REG Door). New
ones will be created as the Utility acts on your characters or Players can
ReWrite them in the REG Door Menu.

89Sep14 5:20 pm from Fire Elf
Spud: Deathbringer was Mode 2. No way he could of killed you. He was loyal to
Fire Elf.

You threaten me? What have I done to harm you? You reaped the safety and
pleasures of my castle and now you want to kill me, an immortal? You had best
}ibeg me for your life, or have it removed.

Deathbringer was murdered by you. You had the option to attack, and you took
it. You had the option to break the fight at any moment, but you did not. You
have just added yet another lord to the list of those who wish your death.

89Sep14 5:21 pm from Fire Elf
My Men, leave me Mail, with your Main Contact (Most used Name on the BBS) I
hate leaving mail to a player, and having them answer 5 days later, as they
don't check their other character's mail.

89Sep14 from Tempus Thales
Fire Flf;

One of my men decided to act on that threat and Spud is now a memory....:-)
I would like to say it was but a favor but he had 32000silver that he took
from Fire Drone who took it from one of the Stepsons Barracks....I also was
asked by Dalisari to get him after that last threat of his....I would guess he
was close to 13th from the fight he put up....

89Sep14 9:59 pm from Fire Elf
Thank you. Riding scum from the earth is quite bothersome. :-) It is amazing
how one like Spud could advance so quickly. He must have been responsible for
many a man's death.

89Sep14 from Dalisari

From what I understand, Fire Drone stole money from the Stepsons making him
rich then Spud killed him quiclky gaining levels....Luckily the money is now
safely back to its owners....P am always happy to have my servants aid you
when it benifits us both....:-)

89Sep14 11:21 pm from Dreadlock

96 is now an open castle...i don't recomend lower level characters go there
with thor sitting in 97 tho....:-)

89Sep15 8:36 am from Dan Johnson
Fire Elf quick rises in Levels will now be a thing of the past. I have it set
up now that a character can advance only one level for any kill. The grading
of the levels remain the same as well as the number of XPs for advancement.
This had to be done as players were zooming from 1st to 13th with a single
treasury robbery or slave sacrifice, in the case of many rich Lords.

89Sep15 6:13 pm from Ian Smith
Good idea.....

89Sep15 6:14 pm from Ian Smith
On second thought, bad idea. That means the powerful guys will be killing off
my li'l wimpy guys even more! :-(

89Sep15 from Michael J. Boucher
Dan:

I love that idea but I do suggest one alteration....It is common game
practice to not allow a raise of more than two levels per any one encounter in
most D&D games I have been in regardless of the monetary gain....I have always
been happy woith this so how bout adding it to the game that way....?

89Sep15 9:43 pm from dino nardini

Whoever is in castle 819, please leave me mail. I wish to enter to heal
myself, and to rest. I will give you 100sps to allow me entrance. I only have
a dagger, so I'm of no threat. I will not give my name right now, but please
leave me mail.

Mr.X :-)

89Sep16 10:01 am from Fire Elf
Dan, I still think you should do what I suggested for XP, having 50XP for a
1st Level player killed, 100 for a Second, 150 for a third, etc.

Also, I belive someone suggested that you cary two fields. 1 for level, one
for their XP. That way, when XP reaches the right level, you can Increment
Level, and re-set XP.

89Sep16 11:07 am from Fire Elf
The Black Family is treading upon thin ground. You are warned.

So Sorry Blackthorn bit the dust after an Encounter With Ligh Bringer, who
being a creature of good let Blackthorn crawl away with his life after he

Silver he had. What is this world comming to?

I did warn you not to Attack Light Bringer.

Fire Elf:

I like your Level idea. It willtake a bit more work as the fix I placed is
only in the battle chain file while your idea will take changing a number of
the chain files. I shall put it in my pot of things to do...

89Sep16 from Michael J. Boucher
Conrad...I believe 573 and 630 are spoken for, as well as 819....I would
return to the area of 698 and 573 as they are both open for public use....

89Sep16 9:16 pm from Thor


YES, LET A NEW AGE BEGIN!!!!! THE AGE OF THE ONE KING!!! THE TOTAL RULER
OF ALL!!!!

Mandorallen: I was informed of treachery brewing in the hands of Fire Elf. He
was planning to take over the world and was going to kill you. I also have
divined that your where going to attack him. That would have been a bad
mistake for you as you might have died in mortal combat.

BUT!! Thor, the one last true immortal has vanquished this verminous hoax of
a god from existance!!! To make sure this vermin NEVER comes from the earth
again....I have communed with the highest of gods to make sure that the
history of the elf never repeat itself.

May all come under the protection of Thor and the rulership of Mandorallen!

Tempus Thales: Your a much a part of this as anyone. Now you have proof that
I am immortal and the Fire Elf was not....and is dead. I only regret the
killings of Sir Mikal, Blackthorn, and General Quagoth, as they were in the
Haven of Hell when the Norse Beserker Rage overtook me. Let this death end
our feud and let us and all others be freinds.

89Sep16 from Conrad Hussey
Thor you have more than proved that you are an imortal to me (Sprout)and if
you want Gladshien back I would be most honored to let you have it
back.
HAIL THOR,HAIL MANDORALLEN,AND hail the Stepons
Sprout the Dwarf

89Sep16 10:29 pm from elric
Silvercloak.....watch out for my brother elron...and Grendor the mad
Dwarf. Heh Heh Heh...

89Sep16 11:18 pm from Fire Elf
Heh. Many Mortals May Rant and Rave in their own good time, but I rule
forever.

Mandorallen, Thor's Infromation is False, to an extent. War was planed with
you, when I found out that one of your men robbed my Treasury. As you recall,
we found that it was an act of a Rebel Man, who happened to be under your
service, and I never did declare War upon you.

Fellow Lords:

Do not belive Thor's Trickery. He plans to Rule the world. If I wanted to Rule
the World, I could of killed everyone of you off when you were mere Children.

My Followers:

I do Declare War. War Upon Thor. Thor, thrpugh some freak act of the Gods and
Nature, was Augmented to Immense power. But his Power is not Absolute. HE
falters with every Battle, and Grows Weaker. HE is a Man who is watching his
own death come closer and closer.
Engaging with Thor will most likely mean your death. But if you do not move to
stop him now, no one will be left to stand up to him. I ask this of you, for I
am very weak from my re-Encarnation. I will not be able to Fac Thor for Many a
Season.

To All:

I wish to call a Moments silence before the Blood doth run deep like Rivers,
carying men to the Ocean of death. A Moment's silence to Remember, a Moment's
silence to Mourn for All those who Died in Thor's Conquest of Haven. He
slaughtered every living thing in the Castle with sadistic pleasure. Men,
Wormen, Children, Old Men, Family Pets. Nothing survived. It was terrible
Holocost we must never let happen again. Rise Up against Thor! Rise up before
it is Too Late.

Troll Kingdom:

My Friends, I call upon an Eon's worth of Freindship, to Avenge my Death. The
troll was a Ferice warrier in it's day, and still is. You must Band together
with the Mortals to help suqash this threat, or you two will be targeted for
Elimination.


Heed my Words. Thor is Evil incarnate. He will stop at nothing to control all.
Do not let his Black MAgic win you over into beliving that he is good. He will
surely turn and stab you in the back.

-Fire Elf, Immortal.

89Sep17 2:00 am from Mandorallen
I wish to state that a Duchie, to be called Troll Kingdom is to be created.

This is to be the domain of Troll King.

For those with maps.

Hexs 408-416
357-365
302-307
249-254
196-202
143-150
89-97
38-44

This is the first of five Duchies to be proclaimed.

89Sep17 6:20 am from Mandorallen
Travelling Merchant 2 died last night, he had 483 sp. He was in mode 1. Also
in mode 1 was DEATH ANGEL. Dead.

Mode 1 is a sure death, You would be wise to avoid it.

89Sep17 6:52 am from Thor

Ha Fire Elf......I don't plan to control the world! I think you have me all
wrong. I just wanted you. You wronged one of my old friends in the prime of
his life.....and now through his power from beyond...he sent me to kill you.

You disrupted his world...just as I disrupted yours. And through him...I
was told of your treachery.
So I laugh at your false Bravodo. To tell you the truth, General Quagoth
was more of a challenge than you.

Let Haven be closed forever! I shall never venture from there...ever.

89Sep17 from Tempus Thales
Thor;

My loyalties are to Dalisari, who is responsible to the King....The
Stepsons now patrol the duchy of Krondor and do not enter other duchies
without the leave of thier lords....I know ALL the details behind the F/E
situation so that needs no comment....But I believe you still have made
demands of the king, who has been very generous to all. If you try and take
30000 silver from the royal treasury or any castle not your own, I am sure
Mandorallen will order the Stepson's and Hell-Hounds to recover it. And I'm
sure you are aware that no treasury is safe from a good thief:-) I was told
Dreaklock has been annoying you as of late...:-) I pity you, he isn't very
bright but he is a royal pain in the butt!!..

None the less, I recognise you as a lord and duke of the southern
duchy....Since F/E's departure i believe 917 is forfiet to the crown. I'm sure
Mandorallen won't mind if you stay till a new lord has been named tho...

89Sep17 from Dalisari
Does anyone know if Lady anne still lives? She has not been heard from in
some time.....

89Sep17 from Dalisari

Dreadlock:

Your men were lucky in entering one of my castles but 2 of your dread were
killed by me and i retook my castle and all the funds inside....

89Sep17 11:41 pm from elron
Your days are numbered Silvercloak.....I have called for Stormbringer and he
is rushing to my aid. Watch out for my faithful companion...Grendel...

89Sep18 1:37 pm from Paul G. Knight
To All Gentles,
I am wondering the relm to see the different sights, I am no threat to
anyone, all I wish is to be left alone so that I might travel the relm and
enjoy its sights. I would like nothing more than to live (more than just 1
night). If you are so enclined I am in hex 260 and an level 1 (an easy kill)
if my telling you where I am, doesn't tell you just how MUCH I wish just to
travel then by all means kill me, sooner or later I will have gone through
enough resurrections to be able to see all of the relm.

For my own notes auto-registration of TKC Game Copies brings us up to version
1.65

89Sep18 from Michael J. Boucher
an evil sorcerer has bewitched the door and the loyal followers are forced to
wait for the great wizard(Dan) to unlock the gates to our homeland....Lets
hope its soon...:-)

89Sep18 10:19 am from Dan Johnson
I've made the appropriate sacrifices and the gods seem appeased. Can't say I
really understand it, yet arcing the old CALLLOG.SYS and DOORUSE.SYS and
starting with new ones seems to have fixed it. Maybe they do a temporary
backup in the writting process or something... can't really figure it, yet it
is working now.

89Sep18 from Conrad Hussey
"Dwarf" I am the only true Dwarf ,I am loyal to Mandorallen and one of my
men informed me Elron only has a dagger but silvercloak has armor and a
2-handed sword.My men last saw you at 215 and they are tracking
you..

I am in need of one more Lord.... I will ask that any aplicants send mail to
Ren Aalton, my personal scribe. All aplicants will be reviewed by all Lords
with me having the final say in the matter. Note Map owners only.

89Sep19 4:32 pm from Ian Smith
NOTE: Please nobody mix up "Elron" with "Elrond". Elrond is an honorable
warrior. Elron...well that remains to be seen.

89Sep19 4:50 pm from Silvercloak
I apologize for any action I may have taken against anyone. In a fit of rage I
attacked the first person I came upon who didn't have loyalty to Mandorallen
or one of his Barons. I don't recall who this was, but I apologize.

89Sep19 11:12 pm from Nightwinger
ATTENTION: Four comrades and I will pledge undying LOYALTY to any
leader
who will hire us....getting tired of wandering aimlessly
around
kingdom...
Also...Silvercloak...please don't kill me yet? Would like a
chat
with you...discuss possible business...

89Sep19 11:19 pm from dino nardini
ALRIGHT!!! Who the hell killed Skullcrusher. Jeez...he didn't live more than
one day...bet you like to kick dogs too, Eh? I guess there's no room on this
board for Level 1 characters...you 'Demi-Gods' can battle it out...

89Sep19 11:30 pm from Donald Hartlen
From what I can observe you higher level players don't give beginers a
chance to start to play which seems a bit unfair for they never get a chance
to get a feel for the game if they have to be constantly restarting thier
characters. I personally don't play anymore because of my lack of time but I
know a few who are blood thirsty for anyone they meet and are not in
alligence(sp) with, right Enduval.

89Sep20 12:39 am from Mandorallen
I who am a lord have also found it hard to keep the starters alive.
I am not blood thirsty and will try not to kill the weak.... at least if I am
using a high level char. But I do enjoy finding people in mode 1.

One thing which I will kill for is a person on the edge of a hex in a
location that will cost me alot of movements to go around. Espesially if I am
tring tosave days over a large distance. This happens rarely.


But more often than not it is the 2nd and 3rd levelers who kill the majority
of the first levels. It seems the 12 to 13th level groups battle more often
with the Lords to be.... 7 to 10th levelers who wish to take over the top for
them selves.

89Sep20 1:17 am from Mandorallen

The Duchie of Coritas has been created. Great Gamer is the Lord of all its
lands.

The Lands are:

32-37


As an added not I still need 60 000 sp to complete the Great Northern
Highway.

New additions 868 and 816.

A total of 18 roads have been Built. When I began my rule as a Lord of the
Council, then as King of the Realm only 2 road hexs existed. In addition to
this I have personally built 4 Towns and 1 Castle.

While no King has stopped the killing, I have at least done my bit to improve
the lands for all to use.
As an added note: 6 roads are built in the south, I am responsible for 2 of
those, Max D. Troll under the late Lord Durin built the other 4, and 1 Towm.
Dalisari had one town built
Thor, moved a Castle
Sargent Xeilif (sp) built one town.

The Builder of 1104 is unknown.
