seed for keep

89Nov15 12:15 am from High Lord Elron @The Mall [455-8615]
The Kingdom is in confusion? The Elves have NO quarrel with anyone but
simply wish to explore a new land ... and maybe kill a few Orcs!
Blackgrin: Since we have met none of you, we will not swear loyalty to
anyone, but remain neutral in this affair. It appears transfer is getting
closer and several of my Elven Warriors have expressed an interest in
visiting your Keep .... might this be possible? They have sworn to help
protect the Portal between our worlds should you require it!
What say you?

89Nov15 from Cirdan Shipwright @The Mall [455-8615]
Hail O' Great Magician! I sense a strong friendship developing...
Transfer is close to a reality but I do not wish to visit a War-torn
Kingdom. What say you to a tour of the pleasant cities of Rivendell?

89Nov15 12:34 am from The Great Magician @The Mall [455-8615]
Cirdan Shipwright:



As it seems GOON1 has declined the offer to head Mariner Studies at T.K.U. we
shall be more pressed than ever to work out an arrangement for my students to
travel to Rivendell for such courses. I shall visit you at the earliest after
Lord and Lady Blackrin's wedding so that we can work out details of the
studies and acreditation, as well as becoming more aquanted with one another.

89Nov15 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
GOON1:




Your logic of loyalty evades this old Troll. How you can claim loyalty to Lord
Dalisari and except 2nd in command from Great Gamer when Krondor is at war
with him is beyond me.

High Lord Elron:
Perhaps you overlooked my last message to this base, conserning the Transfer
Point at Troll Keep. I advise you to read it carefully as I wish no
misunderstandings between the Trolls and Elves. Visitors are not unwelcome,
yet must have my personal consent, as it is we the Trolls who guard the way...

89Nov14 8:12 pm from WOLFMAN @Rivendell@463-7767
Death to all that cross me.GOON1

89Nov15 6:10 am from Great Gamer @The Mall [455-8615]
There seems to be a problem, as only a few are recognizing me as the true
king.
The way I see it, I am the only king in the realm. On game day 1032, a
battle between myself and Mandorallen occured at his storehouse. It was a mode
two battle, and yes I did withdraw to the temple before returning to finish
the battle. This same technique was used against men outside the keep, so I
don't regret using it.
There is no question that I engaged Mandorallen in battle and emerged the
victor (how could I lose a mode 2 battle?), so at that time I claimed the
throne and announced we have a new king, a king you can be proud of.
If Dalisari and his followers wish to engage the Caritas forces, then so be
it. I was victorious against Mandy, and I can make sure you get the same fate.

ANYONE with loyality to either Mandorallen, your former king, or Dalisari
will be killed if crossed by Caritas soldiers.
ANY lords who give me their support won't be attacked... I make this offer
now, it won't last forever.

89Nov15 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
The Transfer Point is now working and Transfere Request may be made to me.
There will be a 1000sp charge to enter and use this magic spot. It is in Troll
Keep at 2465.

89Nov15 9:42 am from The Great Magician @The Mall [455-8615]
I request to use the Portal for a Peaceful visit to Rivendell, Captain.

89Nov15 7:23 pm from High Lord Elron @The Mall [455-8615]
It seems that transfer has become a reality...
You are most welcome to Rivendell Great Magician. I will prepare a host
to meet and welcome you to Rivendell.
Cirdan is eager to meet you and journeys to Rivendell from Calcacirian
to welcome you.
See you soon...

89Nov15 11:03 pm from Goon 1 @The Mall [455-8615]
Cirdan,
Thank-you for offering me a position over in Rivendell as I am so
confused as who to be loyal to over here.
Riva,
Well have a good wedding,you caught a good one Blackrin.
Dalisari,
If you are gonna start a major war please halt before the slaying
of innocent tolkfolk commences.

The Mariner,

-Goon 1

P.S. Any other women out thar?

89Nov16 12:08 am from Ipsema @The Mall [455-8615]
Great Gamer, you are a fool who went to far. If you get the majority to mouth
you are King, this will not let you live any longer. As none will protect you.

89Nov16 1:50 am from Duke Swiftwind @The Mall [455-8615]
Great Gamer: You weren't very nice to kill Silvercloak whom I was makeing a
treaty with for entrance to my world I may just have to chat with the elves
and see if we can make you nervous or else you could make amends with me for
so abrouptly stopping negotiations with my lands.

89Nov16 from Elfin Explorer @The Mall [455-8615]
Greetings fair people of the land!
I bring you glad tidings from Rivendell and High Lord Elron.
The journey has been long .... would someone please open the
portal gates as I wish to journey to a market and storehouse to
study the maps of this land to prepare the way for High Lord Elron
and an Elvin following.
Loyalty will be set to Capt. Max D. Troll if you wish sir?
It is GOOD to finally get the chance to look upon your fair land...
It is sore to see such unrest throughout the Kingdom though.....the
Elves await another time of peace so that they may walk peacefully
among your peoples.

89Nov16 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
The Great Magician:


You have clearence Sir. Leave the 1000sp fee with the guard in the last gate.
Safe and pleasant journey.

89Nov16 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
I am but the Captain of the Royal Guard who stand loyal to Troll Kingdom, on
which you stand Elvin Explorer. Pay the guard on your hex the 1000sps fee and
you shall be notified of the process of entry. Welcome to Troll Keep.

89Nov15 6:15 am from High Lord Elron @Rivendell@463-7767
Understood Max. We will inform you before we wish to travel...
BTW, the Portal Guardian City is being constructed just as we speak which
will be HEAVILY Guarded by Elves & Portal Guardians to avoid mass transfers
& invasions from other worlds...

89Nov16 12:46 am from The Kurgan @Rivendell@463-7767
Now THAT would be a choice bit of work... Overtake one land, and use its
resources to assault the other. A thing upon which to think!

The Kurgan

89Nov16 7:31 am from Great Gamer @The Mall [455-8615]
Duke Swiftwind: I am not responsible for the death of Silvercloak. I pointed
his death out... he was killed in the same attack outide Mandy's keep that had
three of my men slayed. You were not not the only one losing men in that
battle...
Elfin Explorer: Welcome to these lands, you come at a time of war, but not
too worry. It is Caritas policy not to attack visitors with peaceful
intentions, nor to attack neutral parties.

89Nov16 from Michael J. Boucher @The Mall [455-8615]
Correct me if I am wrong but does killing a king make one the new king?
Should Mandy really prove gone from the land(which he is not) would great
gamer have any claim to the thrown? It would seem that his own treason would
have taken away any valid claim he may have to the thrown....And that would
leave the other dukes as the only people in line for the thrown....the most
senior of those being Dalisari, and he has no wish for the thrown , and is
content with the rule of Krondor, I think Gamer is in for a bad way to go if
he persists with this line of thinking now that the world has been enfused
with a large number of high level characters (Enduval and the stepsons are all
known to be 13th level with full armament)....

89Nov16 11:04 am from The Great Magician @The Mall [455-8615]
High Lord Elron:
I have my exit visa from Troll Kingdom and expect to be in your land in short
order.

89Nov16 6:33 am from Elfin Explorer @Rivendell@463-7767
Might we work something out in the future Max? It seems kind of pointless
that we both pay 1000sps to cross when there is unlimited wealth at our
disposal?

89Nov16 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
The fee has been set with future restrictions, that may befall us, in mind. I
have been instructed by The Lord of Troll Kingdom, that nagotiations are
underway between Troll Kingdom and Rivendell, concerning Transfer between our
two lands. Until any changes should occure, the fee remains. I am open to the
suggestion of a Loyalty Pass or any other arrangement, that would have one
larger fee to cover numerous entries.

89Nov16 12:12 pm from Kevin Hughes @The Mall [455-8615]
BTW, game day still reads 1035.

89Nov16 12:17 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Happy wedding day Riva.

89Nov16 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
Yes me Lord and Lady all the best in the future.

89Nov16 12:19 pm from The Great Magician @The Mall [455-8615]
Live long and prosper... may a noble line unfold from this blessed marraige.

89Nov16 7:11 pm from Goon 1 @The Mall [455-8615]
Yo!

89Nov16 7:38 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Had to go to backups dated Nov 16 8:37, although looking at the system clock
I'm not entirely sure what that will mean.

89Nov16 11:15 pm from Riva Silvercrown @The Mall [455-8615]
Hi again all.

89Nov17 1:53 am from Kevin Hughes @The Mall [455-8615]
Dan, the game has been stuck on 1035 for 3 days now.

89Nov17 from Elfin Explorer @The Mall [455-8615]

I have been trapped within this transfer point area for a couple of
days now and am growing hungry & tired. Would someone open the gates
for me or come to collect the 1000sps?
Also, I would remind you that one of your Trolls (8 I believe) was
granted free access to Rivendell as a Goodwill gesture between our
two worlds.
There are 3 characters in the locked gate area. Please send one in to
collect the sps so that I may explore the keep.
Thankyou.

89Nov17 3:22 am from High Lord Elron @The Mall [455-8615]

The Portal City of Ilmarin has been completed and visitors are now welcome
at Rivendell.
Leave mail there to Arwen Elvenstar of your intentions.
Entrance to Rivendell will be 1500sps until further notice.
The following Mall folk have free travelling privs:
Blackrin
Riva Silvercrown
Capt. Max D. Troll
The Great Magician
Dirgree Troll

Any others wishing free passage please convince me in mail...

89Nov17 6:29 am from High Lord Elron @Rivendell@463-7767
We await your arrival Great Magician...

It would NOT be wise to attack any of my emmissaries Gamer...

89Nov17 9:16 am from Great Gamer @The Mall [455-8615]
High Lord Elron: If you send someone over, they will not be attacked. Visitors
should have no fear of coming to this land. In fact there may be peace very
shortly, it'll just depend on the battles to come.

89Nov17 from Tempus Thales @The Mall [455-8615]
High lord Elron:
If you enter this land and acknowledge Gamer the pretender as king, non of
your followers will be safe, as the duchy of Krondor is at war with the duchy
of Caritas....
As war leader of Krondor I advise you stay clear of Gamer as Krondor has
always been the most pwowerful duchy in the kingdom and the first to come to
the aid of our true king Mandorallen!!

89Nov17 3:48 pm from Riva Silvercrown @The Mall [455-8615]
Elves could be very good allies on our side... I'm willing to pay good silver
to any Elves who join either the Troll army or the Rivan Elite.

89Nov17 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
Elfin Exploror:
I sent a guard into recieve you and he found the Transfer Area empty. I hope
our taryness has not been dissapointing enough that you returned home. There
was no 'granting' to Troll Foot Soldier 8. He arrived in a barrern forest. If
you want 1500sps for that you may ask him and I am sure he will comply.

89Nov17 4:20 pm from The Great Magician @The Mall [455-8615]
High Lord Elron:


I thank thee for the welcome and I shall be there shortly. It will be a
pleasure to leave this war torn land, until things are settled.

89Nov17 6:34 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
The Utility may be crashing, Kevin. I shall run it manually to check things
out thanks. BTW how'd the wedding go, or did one of you get cold feet?

89Nov17 6:35 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
The utility Porgram may be crashing, Kevin. I shall check into it. Thanks for
bringing it to my attention.

89Nov17 7:47 pm from Blackrin @The Mall [455-8615]
I have now given command of Troll Keep to Capt. Max D. Troll. His word is now
law within the lands. He has the command until this mess is tidied up.

89Nov17 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
Thanks you Lord Blackrin.


All others:


The Troll Keep is now under Martial Law. All inside the Inner Keep have 24
hours to depart before gate paswords are changed and the guards set to attack
mode. This includes Ipsema, the Admiral of the Royal Fleet. We mean this in no
way as an act of agression. Quite the contrary. We hope that by clearing the
Keep we can ensure that our position remain as nuetral as it has been up to
now. Rumors have also reached me, that mercenaries may be amassing at
Rivendell to escalate the conflict. I ask High Lord Elron to regulate those
transfering into Troll Keep, and to give an audience to my personal envoy,
Troll Foot Soldier 8, at the earliest convieniance about this matter.

89Nov18 4:03 pm from WOLFMAN @Rivendell@463-7767
To Goon1: I Delavan wish to aid you in anyway that I may. Being a man of Great
conflict on sides, I wish to link up with you and your allies. In a few days I
will be nearing your castle, Hopefully I shall be able to enter your Castle as
a friend and
commrad.
>>DELAVAN<<

89Nov18 4:05 pm from WOLFMAN @Rivendell@463-7767
Sir Sandstone: I give may wishes to you and your Bride,Lord Blackrin.

89Nov18 5:51 pm from The Great Magician @Rivendell@463-7767
At last I have arrived to the lands of Rivendell. I have found lodgings in an
empty StoreHouse at hex 15999, with appropriate loyalty. The door has been
locked so as to provide me some privacy so as to rest and await my audience
with High Lord Elron. I bring bad news from Mandorallen's Kingdom. Civil War
is flooding the land. Moments before my departure from Troll Keep, the alarm
was sounded to indicate it was under attack. I know not what hostile forces
were laying seige. No one knows in such a Civil dispute who is the enemy.
Cousin against cousin, once loyal Lords attacking thier Liege's forces. I
thanks High Lord Elron for affording me a sancuary from that conflict. I only
hope the war does not follow me through the Magic Portal, for it is Troll Keep
which guards the way...

89Nov18 6:01 pm from High Lord Elron @Rivendell@463-7767
The Elves are taking appropriate measures against an invasion through the
portal.
I thankyou for the warning Great Magician and will meet you soon...
Rest awhile and become familiar with my lands...

89Nov18 8:17 am from Great Gamer @The Mall [455-8615]
Tempus: You're not threatening High Lord Elron are you? And since when have
you been the leader of Krondor? I thought that title belonged to Dalisari.

89Nov18 10:34 am from Goon 1 @The Mall [455-8615]
Delavan,
You may enter at 8247,set loyalty to Mandorallen.There still might be
water so Leave me mail when you get to the coast and I'll take you accross.
All,
I am now neutral,I will aid both sides of the war but I will soon be
going to Rivindell,to recieve Mayorship of Gil-Galad.
Cirdan,
Once again I thank-you for your hospitality and kindness.

89Nov18 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
I would call that being a 'hired mercenary' rather than neutral Goon1.

89Nov18 12:42 pm from Goon 1 @The Mall [455-8615]
Okay,I'm a hired Merc'.

89Nov18 1:01 pm from High Lord Elron @The Mall [455-8615]
The Elves side with no one in this matter of Civil War and who we choose
to speak with is our concern.
We acknowledge NO ONE as King until this matter is resolved and resent
your implications Tempus Thales...

89Nov18 from Elfin Explorer3 @The Mall [455-8615]
Ahhhh....finally I have arrived successfully. Both of my predeccessor were
"vaporized" ....Elfin Explorer1 disappeared while ON the transfer hex here
and Elfin Explorer2 was sucked into another dimension in transit.
I have figured out the problems so everything should be fine now...
I have given Troll Foot Soldier 9 1000sps to enter the keep. Please open
gates for me or provide a suitable pwd.
I thank you...

89Nov19 from Elfin Explorer3 @The Mall [455-8615]
Would someone PLEASE process me? I am still waiting at this transfer
point for access to the keep...

89Nov19 from Elfin Explorer4 @The Mall [455-8615]
Greetings! I have recently arrived at The Mall & find my comrade
Elfin Explorer3 STILL in transfer area????
I have given Troll Foot Soldier9 the neccessary 1000sps...may I
please gain entrance to the keep?

89Nov19 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
I shall have the Guard give you the nassarary password and instructions,
Elves. Welcome to Troll Keep.

89Nov19 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
New arrivals are advised to have the loyaty of 'Troll Kingdom' set before
departing thier original lands.

89Nov19 9:00 pm from Duke Swiftwind @The Mall [455-8615]
Any you wish a safe haven to stay out the war should contact me in
mail....there is a fee of course(negotiable)

89Nov19 10:54 pm from Kevin Hughes @The Mall [455-8615]
... Thankyou for flying Troll Airways.

89Nov20 1:12 am from dino nardini @The Mall [455-8615]
"Troll Airways"?.....hate to see the stewardess' ! :-)

89Nov20 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
Elven Explorers:
An ultimatium has been left you by my guard... by direct order of my person.
The gate at 2213 has been barricaded with a wooden wall. Elvin Demi-Gods may
be a better name for you. Tell your Lord that an attempt to enter such Trogan
Horses as yourselves has bioled my Troll blood, and I now have serious
misgivings about the Elves of Rivendell and thier motives.

89Nov20 5:01 pm from WOLFMAN @Rivendell@463-7767
Bandyolf: Capt. Max D. I I'm new to the land and will be approaching the Keep
soon. I'm asking if I may enteron good intentions. I would also like to form
my dwellings in your Keep? I'm willing to do some service to you f up keep and
to repay you of your
generousity.
BANDYOLF

89Nov20 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
Peaceful visitors are always welcome to Troll Keep Wolfman.

89Nov20 4:47 pm from Goon 1 @The Mall [455-8615]
Any who wish peace come to 8250,or the coast in that general visinaty
and I'll come get you until the Civil uprising has calmed.

-Goon 1

89Nov20 5:04 pm from Riva Silvercrown @The Mall [455-8615]
Captain: Right now let's not be making threats... skilled as your garrison is,
and my elites, an entire army of elves and dragons as WELL as Great Gamers
forces could seriously jepordize our standing... Take heed. Close them in, and
let it stand at that.

89Nov20 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
It be no threat Lady Silvercloak.

89Nov20 7:14 pm from Riva Silvercrown @The Mall [455-8615]
AHHHH!!! SilverCROWN! I'm not related to Silvercloak in anyway.

89Nov20 10:16 pm from Goon 1 @The Mall [455-8615]
So,you are scared of one elf,compared to your forces,you think ONE elf will
conquer the Mall?
God(Dan),
Is that the only portal ever known,even legends of another would be
helpful......

Any in need of Mariner services leave me a note an I'll ship you to peace.

-Goon 1

89Nov20 10:59 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
The Transfer Point is configurable to any of the 32000 hexes. At the moment it
can only be one of those 32000 possibilities.

The Captain is not talking about two simple elves, but two elves with a
totalhp value of 60,000hps. This would equate to approximately 200 11-12th
level warriors. Larger than any armies presently on The Mall map.


89Nov20 11:07 pm from The Kurgan @The Mall [455-8615]
Those are QUITE the pair of Elves.... Perhaps I am going to start taking the
little pointy-eared beggars a bit more seriously....

89Nov21 8:32 pm from High Lord Elron @Rivendell@463-7767
I am beginning to believe that mayhap the magic portal should have been
left well enough alone. The kingdom of Rivendell has enjoyed a peaceful
existence until contact with yonder Mall was made. I am sorry that you
lost the honourable quality of trust and both Elfin Explorers have
heartily agreed to return to Rivendell.

What say the pleasant Mall folk of this affair?

_______ ahhhh ... 'tis the summer of my discontent!
_______ Elron of olde ...

89Nov22 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
Stats on all travellers should now be sent with any request to transfer out or
into Troll Keep.

89Nov22 10:23 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
I have begun upgrade to version 1.73. Markets are now able to be locked,
although they do not contain Weapon and Armour Stalls now. This may be changed
as upgrading continues.

89Nov22 10:50 pm from Kevin Hughes @The Mall [455-8615]
How about putting in a building option for setting up a market(ie spending a
certain ammount to attract merchants, etc...

89Nov22 10:53 pm from Tol Bardath @The Mall [455-8615]
Her exulted lady Riva Silvercrown has put me in charge of he financial
affairs. In other words, I'm going to be dealing with her funds, so any
transfers will have to be to me.

89Nov24 9:54 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]

89Nov23 9:43 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]

I have made the following mods to the StoreHouse.


You can now build:
1.Gates
2.Road/Tracks
3.Walls
4.Store Houses
5.Temples
6.Markets


You cannot now build over:
1.Water
2.Gates
3.Walls

Thank god 8*)

89Nov28 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
The Transfer Portal has been re-opened at Troll Keep. Enter the Foriegn
Quarter at the East end of the Keep and send mail for further processing.

89Nov29 10:37 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
I am back to working on the Utility Program. Right now (due to the change from
the 1.69 map) the time limit to become a henchman is 1000 game days. I shall
be moving this ahead slowly, announcing as I go...

89Nov29 2:55 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Feeling that the amnesty of transfered characters from the old map has
extended long enough, I have created Log Files for all characters still on
1961. They were also interfering with the Utility operation, causing it to
crash on occation.

89Nov29 from Michael J. Boucher @The Mall [455-8615]
Great Gamer:
I was reading the gossip tree's and you say you are in Dalisari's keep, yet
you left the message in some southern Storehouse??? What does that mean?

89Nov30 6:56 am from Great Gamer @The Mall [455-8615]
Michael:
I see what you mean. According to the gossip trees I was at 1453, but
claimed to have entered Dalisari's keep. If you check 1453 on the map, you'll
see it's a mountain terrain. I was in Daliari's keep, and left a message in
the 14535 market. Apparantly only the first four digits in the hex number are
recorded in the gossip tree directory.


Dalisari:
I must say, I was shocked when I reached your keep. You obviously weren't
expecting me. Afterall your western gates were open. (and I was surprised that
nobody was in the western section of the keep) Anyways, Hell-Hound 9c was
killed before I left (Ipsema, Hell-Hound 1f and Draugluin consider yourselves
lucky... I wasn't able to continue attacking since I had too much silver and
didn't want to risk going into negative amounts) and my knights report that
Dudain 6 (sp?) was killed for having loyality to "The King's Guard".
Dalisari, prepare yourself... when I return, I'm bringing my knights with me.

89Nov30 7:55 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Semed to be an oversight on my part, not changing the length of the string
that carries the name of the gossip file. Thanks guys.

89Nov30 12:37 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
I have the Player's Log scrolling automatically to the screen now, if there is
something in it to be read, when REG Door is first booted. I think that the
program messages from the Utility, concerning encounters, movement and battles
are now being written to that file properly. Please report any irregularities,
like messages concerning characters that are not yours.

89Nov30 2:19 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
The turn to henchman time limit is now 700 days behind game day. This shal be
continued to be moved ahead gradually until 100 days is reached. Say
approximately at the rate of 200 days per week.

89Dec01 6:18 pm from Goon 1 @The Mall [455-8615]

To Trolls;

I have two of my men,Spud and Goon 2,in the transfer.I have commenced
transfer with Riva's blessings.If you wouldn't harm them I would appriciate
it.

To High Lord Elron of Rivendell;

Goon 2 is carring the nessasary $money$ I believe it was 1500 sps per
head since I have 2 onboard the amount of $3000 sp's will be given to the
one at the transfer point...

-Goon 1

89Dec01 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
A reminder Duke Goon 1, that a 1000sps fee will be expected by the Trolls.

89Dec02 from Dalisari @The Mall [455-8615]
I believe the only tital that Goon 1 holds is a possible barony in my
kingdom....He is not a duke tho....

89Dec02 8:00 am from High Lord Elron @The Mall [455-8615]
We await your arrival Goon2.
You needn't worry about paying for arrival as you had been invited.

89Dec02 1:29 pm from Dreadlock @The Mall [455-8615]
I have found a way to lock up Thor, since it was a bug that gave him all those
hit points....An since it would take too long to kill him, I simply sealed him
up in rock....You can see his tomb at his old castle.....

Bye Bye Thor ahahahahahhah

89Dec02 4:04 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
I see that as no bug, Dread. To be sure, the final vertict on StoreHouses is
still out... yet you seemed to have build on open and track territory, mostly.

89Dec02 6:23 pm from Dreadlock @The Mall [455-8615]

For those who think I have been gone, guess again, I have been exploring
this new land and finding those who may be a challenge for myself....With
Mandy deposed and Great Gamer in hiding, I found myself with but two likely
opponents....Thor the Immortal and the Duke of Krondor....Thor proved
difficult at first because of his enormous hp difference, but after locating
him(which was very simple) I simply intombed him in stone....The other is
Dalisari, Duke of Krondor....I have robbed him and killed his followers time
and again, But that cursed Wizard of his Enduval keeps finding ways to turn
lead to gold and re-incarnate lost souls....

If any out there can tell me how to remove a character permanently I will
pay handsomely for the secret!! 100000 silver....more if it can be done to
Dalisari's minions and not reversed by Enduval...Thus far this week I have
lost 3 dreads and they are not recoverable, yet thoses Hell-Hounds inside the
castle seem to be un-killable....

89Dec03 2:32 pm from Thor @The Mall [455-8615]
Dreadlock: You entombed me in wood. B-]. BTW, you missed a storehouse. B-]



Once I get outa this I'm gona wall up my whole duchie!!! B-]

Don't worry Be Happy.

89Dec03 from Conrad Hussey @The Mall [455-8615]
I think there should be an engineer type,so it wouldn't be possible for
p [D people to enter castles and 'Dragon attack' the store Houses and
such...

C-*)

89Dec03 3:14 pm from Kevin Hughes @The Mall [455-8615]
Thor... I beleive that the walls are now permanent.

89Dec03 7:29 pm from Blackrin @The Mall [455-8615]
To all those in Troll Keep, you have 1 week to change loyalty to Troll
Kingdom. Any found with any other loyalty after tahat shall be killed, or
used in jousting. This does not include the Rivan Villa of course...

89Dec03 7:43 pm from Blackrin @The Mall [455-8615]
Perhaps I should give my reasons for this....These characters are blocking the
way into the casino from the west. If there is a good reason why they are not
being used(player gone away, etc)they shall have 7 days from when they get
back...

89Dec03 11:46 am from High Lord Elron @Rivendell@463-7767
Dreadlock: Mayhap a little Elven Magic may be of use to you?

89Dec06 6:32 pm from Dreadlock @The Mall [455-8615]
Elron:

What need have I of magic from the elves, does it appear I am in need of
aid....There is not a castle I have yet to visit, and no one's gates can keep
me out, I regularily raid treasuries at will, so why should I need aid from
you? I may even decide to visit your treasury and see if you have yet
mastered the secret arts.....

89Dec06 8:39 pm from Blackrin @The Mall [455-8615]
That is where you are wrong Dreadlock, you will have to go through Troll Keep
to get to the portal and that is no easy task...

89Dec06 9:24 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
I have streamlined the movement routines, on MIke Boucher's urging. Saves are
not made of the character records until entire move is complete, as well as no
passenger list appearing when on the high seas. It being the responsibility of
the Mariner to use option 2 of the movement menuto determined who is 'on
board'.

89Dec07 11:38 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Version 1.76 has had the restriction to Loyalty changes in populated hexes
removed. This should be a great aid in movement and will allow forced
encounters of characters in Mode 2 and same loyalty, as the online player will
be able to change to another loyalty while still on populated hex.

89Dec07 2:07 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Another 1.76 mod:


Characters in locked gates that are seiged and breached are now automatically
set to mode 1, after the gate is seiged. This could be inconvieniant under
certain cercumstances, so players not wanting thier character modes changed
should not remain in lockable hex types, as well as a check to the character's
mode should be taken before movement in populated Lockable Hex Types, in case
this change has occured since last Game Play.

89Dec07 10:59 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
With the death over the last two days of both Lord Blackrin and Lady Riva I
thought the time was right to allow the Trolls some freedom of thought and
reclaim thier Kingdom, in this time of upheaval. Thier Capt. Max D. Troll is
now under player control, as he does from time to time. His actions may not
have been as predictable as in the past. Some Trolls may be given out to other
players in time.

89Dec08 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
LET it be herd and KNOWN that henceforth NO ONE will come through the
transfer gate with out paying for his/her entry! Any attempting this will be
in violation with the rules of the keep and executed on
sight.
MAX

89Dec07 7:05 pm from High Lord Elron @Rivendell@463-7767
Dreadlock:

You are a boisterous swine and a braggart.
Do not make threats you cannot uphold...
I am surprised the good lords of The Mall have not exterminated you yet.

Such arrogance will be your downfall...

89Dec08 1:03 am from Lord Corman @Rivendell@463-7767
I can assure you, Dreadlock, that even if you managed to sneak past the
Portal Guardians, get out of the Portal City and get to the home of Lord
Elron, you would NEVER make the return trip. There are far too many
adventurers who are loyal to the High Lord.

89Dec08 2:05 pm from Dreadlock @The Mall [455-8615]
Who said I wanted to sneak past any gates, I already have an agent on
rivendell, and if you morons knew anything about this game you wouldn't talk
that way about your better's....I am going to send word to my agent on
rivendell, and tell him to give you a display of the might of the
Dreads....You won't soon forget lesson! I hope I won't have to make a
personal appearance just to prove my power to you idiots, I have already
showed the all but immortal Thor here that he is no match for my skills....So
don't think your illegally gained 30000 hps cause me any worry, as you will
soon find out, there is more than one way to disable a character than to kill
him!

89Dec08 7:28 am from High Lord Elron @Rivendell@463-7767
Lord Blackrin & Lady Riva are dead?
Tis a sorrowful day on The Mall ...

The chaos of your land brings me back to my earlier years and the trouble
between the Elves & Orcs ....

89Dec08 8:16 am from High Lord Elron @Rivendell@463-7767
Goon : I still await your arrival as Gil-Galad is still without a City
Keeper.
Others have applied for the position and if you do not show soon ...

89Dec08 11:07 am from Lord Corman @Rivendell@463-7767
Truly a sad day in thy lands history. Does anyone dare claim
responsibility for this traitorous act?

89Dec08 3:53 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
High Lord Elron:
Wait no longer for Goon 1, as I witnessed his death today as well. Conflict
is indeed growing and the intrigue along with it.

89Dec08 4:12 pm from Riva Silvercrown @The Mall [455-8615]
I shall return, eventually. It shall be a while, for I am not existing in this
world any longer. But, I shall send my sister from the land of Rivendell to
act in my stead until such time as I should be resurrected. Then I shall
return to power. I AM glad to hear of Goon's demise... I have reason to
beleive he killed me.

89Dec08 11:24 pm from Great Gamer @The Mall [455-8615]
During the time frame of this war between Caritas and Krondor, many nobles
and lords have lost their lives. My knights and myself are responsible for
only two of these deaths.
I'm sure we all remember the first when I assassinated the former king
Mandorallen. It was a historic day that game day 1032, for there was bloodshed
inside and outside Mandy's keep. While Mandy was assassinated inside, outside
a number of warriors (including my own) died in a massacre which also resulted
in Silvercloak's death if I recall correctly.
Shortly after this Krondor, the supposidly (sp) strongest duchie challenged
Caritas, led by myself. Since that day it appears one lord has been placed in
stone, and another three nobled killed in recent days (which Caritas had no
part of). I give my respects to Blackrin, Riva Silvercrown and Goon 1.
And tonight on this day, game day 1053, I have led an assult team into the
western section of Dalisari's keep, crossed into the eastern section where
Dalisari was to be found. Battle did take place, and Caritas still lives!
Dalisari, I shall see to it that my spirit (Spirit of the Dead) ensures that
your stay in the afterworld is permanent.
I believe its safe to say with Dalisari dead, and perhaps quite a few slaves
gone missing as a result from his death, my coronation for the throne is just
around the corner.

89Dec09 12:27 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
The Utility Program now puts Slaves up for Hire when thier owner dies, as is
the case for regular henchmen.

89Dec09 6:57 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
If a character is killed in battle a check is now made for any other
characters sharing that hex and changes thier mode to mode 3. This is open to
mods and changes, such as searches for simular Loyalty etc.. Feedback in this
area in the Royal Blood Inn would be welcome.

89Dec09 from Leif Englund @The Mall [455-8615]
Is it now possible to obtain a map of the area?

89Dec09 8:44 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Maps of 100 hex areas are onscreen viewable in the Atlas Option of
StoreHouses. These could be placed side by side to form larger maps. A smaller
scale complete map of the area will be started in the future.

89Dec10 11:37 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Installations have been made to the REG Door to check if any characters have
HPs not fitting for thier Experience (Level). If so then they are set to a
proper setting. This is to curb abuse with transfered characters until a
better system is installed. It will also have the effect of straightening out
any characters that have had advanatages in the past in this regard. (Not
mentioning any names Thor :)

89Dec10 from Michael J. Boucher @The Mall [455-8615]
I just thought of something, now how bout this....When buying slaves shouldn't
we have the chance to see them before buying them? Or how about this...Have
the coice not to buy them if they are 8000hexs away....I would never buy a
slave I have not seen or that is on the other side of the world....That is
fine if your hiring a henchmen, but not for slaves...

89Dec11 1:34 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Version 1.77 makes it's debue with the Squad Movement Capability. In it's
present basic stage it works as follows. Before land movement a check is made
for any other characters sharing the hex location. Any matches are then
checked again to see if thier loyalty is that of the character's name which is
being moved. If it is then they will move along with that character. I can see
drawbacks for this arrangement and am planning to install Mode 4 which would
be Squad Mode. Until that time we can start Game Testing this concept as it is
now setup. Any ideas, as always, are welcome in Royal Blood Inn. I think I
should immediately make it that the character doing the movement must have his
loyalty set to himslef, so that one could shake unwanted company.

89Dec11 1:57 am from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
The change has been added that the character issueing the moving orders must
have his loyalty set to itself.

89Dec11 5:16 pm from Kevin Hughes @The Mall [455-8615]
One hex = about 15 miles. a BIT far...

89Dec12 1:33 am from The Kurgan @The Mall [455-8615]
Attention All Wayfairers of this land. I am a trained Mariner, and am
offering my services to whom ever wishes to pay my fees and meet my
conditions.
This offer may not last long due to a business possibility I am
negotiating. Note that I am and intend to remain neutral in this destructive
conflict, so I refuse to move troop units. Please reply in mail if you seek
transport upon the waves of this world.

THE Kurgan

89Dec12 7:03 pm from Great Gamer @The Mall [455-8615]
I thank thee Mandorallen for handing over the throne. I know I will (and
have) opposition, but time may heal wounds. You were indeed a king no other
could compare to. Perhaps I may be great as yourself, but you were a legend
of a king, and will not be forgotten.
My first priority is to form my cabinet. Throughout this war many lords have
lost their lives, and I believe only Thor and Warlord still live, from those
lords who were alive at the beginning of this war. All interested parties for
the remaining duchies, please leave mail.
As for the war... I ask upon a Krondor representative to call off the war.
Although there has been alot of bloodshed, I will let you keep your duchie, if
a peace agreement can be reached.

89Dec12 9:09 pm from Dan Johnson @The Mall [455-8615]
Well there is an end of an era!

89Dec12 6:12 pm from Mandorallen
I think, Gamer and his 0 Lords should be given control of this hall.

89Dec12 from Capt. Max D. Troll @The Mall [455-8615]
May your spirit find peace and your reign long be remembered Mandorallen and
may peace finally become reality in the Kingdom. Before cabinets are formed
and duchies allocated I would like to make the Troll's policy clear.

The waters, although slow, have been tracked to be lowering. Therefore we
expect that the complete lowlands of old will someday soon be dry land once
again. That being so, we Trolls lay claim to the lands of our forefathers...
the Sountern Mountains, known since time immortal as Troll Mountains. The
lowlands and lands to the North we leave to the ministry of the mortals and
the King they wish to serve.

Troll Forces are onroute to Goon 1's Keep, to secure it under the Troll
Kingdom Banner. We wish no trouble with the Mortals, yet shall defend what is
ours if need be.

We recognise Lord Thor's Keeps to the West of our Kingdom, even though it is
in mountain area.

89Dec12 10:14 pm from Duke Warlord @The Mall [455-8615]
King Great Gamer I,
I will serve you till my death, which may be soon as I have been
attacked by an imposter calling himself Warlord II. I am sealed up in my
storehouse. Any help you can off will be most accepted, if I do fall do not
allow my isle to fall into these bandits hands...

89Dec13 7:57 am from Great Gamer @The Mall [455-8615]
There appears to be a problem... the Lord of the Islands did have a son,
for my mariners gave him a ride to the island. The noble Warlord himself was
well aware of Warlord II's arrival. Perhaps Warlord II was there to protect
the keep. As I speak, my men have advanced to the island to check this out. My
Knight will tell me what's wrong. Please do not move from your present
position... (I wish to hear Warlord II's responce before taking any action)
