EdenaI hade no Idea that the lurkers forum was something that you would want access to. All it was ever used for was a place for the “good guys” to discuss our plans for the turns. I just assumed that it was used instead of endless e-mails to each other. Most of us I believe thought that you knew abolut the Forum, had acces to it, but just din not come to it for your own reason. Such as that way our moves would be a surprise to you, and make it more fun. If I was wrong in this I am VERY sorry. I had no idea that it would make you upset. If you want I will mail you my user ID and Password so that you can get onto the Forum yourself. I am sure that the moderator of the boards will allow you to join, whenever you wish, and I am also sure that NO ONE there would have a problem fopr you to come there.

Here I was, wondering where Darkness, Uvenelei, and everyone else was, because they weren't posting AT ALL to the IR.
I have found their posts.
They found time to post to the Lurker's Forum.
They didn't find time to post to the actual IR.
2/3rds of ALL the fun I could have had out of the IR.
2/3rds of the fun I was entitled to.
Gone down the drain.
I now have the extreme honor of archiving this material for the histories - it is certainly too late to interact with any of it!

I was just trying to treat you all to some fun.
Fun was all it was ever about.

I was shut out of the fun. Shut out of my own game.

Didn't Johnbrown drop the IR? I say we let him in, he can't do any harm anymore, and I'm sure he would enjoy being a part of us anyway...
AND I WOULDN'T HAVE ENJOYED BEING A PART OF MY OWN GAME?
NOT ONE PERSON, NOT ONE OF YOU, EVER SENT ME AN E-MAIL INVITING ME IN.
Well, I say we get one more yes vote and let John in. He might enjoy some of our fun.
I MIGHT HAVE ENJOYED IT.
DID YOU TAKE A VOTE ON ME???
Welcome to the Oerth Alliance. Maybe we can do the party thread that Edena wrecked on these boards.
EXACTLY WHAT DID I WRECK?
What's this about losing the boards?
I thought Bug said he'd keep the boards up . . . ? Edena keeps talking about them getting shut down.
Is Edena just insane, like we all suspect?

Re: What's the plan for turn 5?
I would like to recover, but the Shade will likely be stupid enough to attack in force. I have asked Kalanyr to scan 'o Skotenos, Lord Melkor's shadow lords, and Mr. Draco.
Kalanyr needs to get 11th level magic quick or a few countries will disappear into the Red Waste next turn. Kal, pressure Serpenteye and Mr. Draco to make big PL donations.
The Shade may try to set up a base back on Oerth. So, we need the mind scan as well as being ready to push them back. I hope we won't need to use nukes.
I think there will likely be an attack on Anabstercorian and the Solistarim. The Dark Union is kind of hemmed in by only being near Creamsteak and Zelda's lands. The Central Flanaess is unreachable by them.

Unless someone gives me a VERY good reason to continue, this IR is over.
Not only that, but I declare Serpenteye and Mr Draco the winners.
I declare Oerth and Toril conquered.
I declare the Union of the Worlds is triumphant.
I declare all the Player Characters of all the Powers except the Union of Worlds, permanently dead.
Finis.
I am not a fool, no matter how much people might think I am.
And being treated as a fool, is not something I appreciate.
Being locked out of my own game, is appreciated even less.

Well, our little conspiracy proceeds. However, the question is
obvious? When do we tell Edena. He is worried about Zelda. I don't
think anyone suspects our alliance.
Also, Bugbear, do you want to invite Forrester over to these boards.
The UC of Toril is pretty useful. With their aid, we might be able to
get Kas and Vecna in the first few minutes.

Re: So, when do we tell Edena that we exist?
Let's tell him if/when it becomes necessary or prudent to do so
(translation: I absolutely have no idea about when to tell him ).
Also, him worrying about Zelda might lead him to help other "weak"
nations, and that can't be a bad thing, even though I don't want him
to be worried.
And a big "hell, yeah!!!" to getting Forrester in here!

However, we do need his approval and frankly, to cheer him up. He
does seem a little beat down lately, and that's not good for the

Edena will have to know about our alliance on turn 1, in any case.
And if we need to keep Turrosh Mak secret on turn one, then it
doesn't matter whether we tell him now or later.
Of course, Edena doesn't seem to want people planning before the
thread... err, am I countering my own view? I'll stop now.

Also, can everyone who posts here send a confirming e-mail to
Edena. He can be reached at anora@mediaone.net.
I will try to compose a letter and post it here in an hour or less. Tell
me what you think.
Has anyone head from Alyx.

Re: Edena and Forester
Here is my draft for the letter to Edena. I think all of us should
approve it before I send it out. (It is a little corny, I am afraid, but
this is just a quick draft.) Tell me how I should modify it:
A CONSPIRACY OF HOPE.
Edena, I have a confession to make. I have been keeping a big
secret, which I ask you to keep until my allies and I announce it.
Please sit down if you are not doing so.
THE OERTH ALLIANCE IS REAL AND READY TO MAKE A STAND.
After the old thread collapsed, I started communicating with
like-minded individuals. People who want their nations and peoples
in the thread to have self-determination and dignity. My efforts have
been more successful than I possibly imagined.
Here is a list of the members of the Oerth Alliance, an organization
devoted to the betterment of Oerth and its peoples, preservation of
land for the fey and the cultures of our world, magical and technical
progress, and increasing the rights, respect and opportunities for all
sentient beings.
Members list:
Alyx
Black Omega
Dagger
Darkness
Gnomeworks
Kaboom
Turrosh Mak
William Ronald
Zelda
Does the list surprise you? I never thought the little conspiracy I
proposed would be so successful.
We have worked hard to keep ourselves a secret. We have told
Forrester, as the UC of Toril is an ally of Gnomeworks. (He asked for
a brief summary of what is going on, as he is busy right now. I wrote
it as a fictional intelligence report to President Forrester of the UC of
Toril.) We are working to coordinate our strategy for the thread.
You have worked hard to try to make this thread a success. I
respect your efforts. When I filled in for you, I got a taste of what
you are doing. All of us appreciate the work that you have put into
this. As well as the work of Turrosh Mak and Maudlin.
So, what does this mean for you? We will have a joint command
structure. One member can speak for the alliance, just like Mr. Draco
and Serpenteye can speak for the Dark Union of Eastern Oerth. Our
points should be pulled together in the various arms races.
We have worked on strategies and treaties. We realized it would be
very easy for us to be picked off one by one. We realized that some
of the powers on the thread would only have us as slaves. We all
realized that we can try to have magic, the fey, and technology
along with more rights and prosperity for all. We realized that a
changing world often calls for changing perspectives. We were also
alarmed a bit by the great powers of evil growing so powerful.
Darkness and I face the threat of the Hellfurnaces Alliance of the
Forsaken One, Festy Dog, and Kalanyr. Separately, we would be
destroyed. Together, we have a hope for victory.
The Oerth Alliance is a military, political, and economic alliance. It
resembles in many respects what NATO would be if the political and
economic parts of the NATO countries were closely tied together. Our
member nations retain their sovereignty, but we stand as one for
each other and against our foes.
We represent many peoples, cultures and values. We have decided
to respect each other and learn from each other. On our own Earth,
there is value in all cultures. The same is likely to be true on Oerth.
(Okay, so there are major downsides in the illithid culture. But at
least they are consistent, organized, and place a high value on
knowledge. Now if they only respected the rights of individuals.)
Again, I apologize for springing this on you and keeping it a secret. I
am well aware of the behind the scenes maneuvers of some of the
other factions. We ask that you keep us a secret until we reveal
ourselves. We are also open to more members. (Generally, we don’t
want anyone getting squished by the big boys.) We are also willing
to respect the rights of others on the boards, including the right to
be left alone, if that is their choice.
Don’t be surprised if we use a few tricks or appear to squabble. We
are prepared to use cunning as well as force to protect our world
and ourselves. Indeed, you may find some of the tricks we plan to
pull quite amusing.
We realized that the World of Greyhawk is a pretty gritty setting. We
are prepared to be smart and tough. We hope to be at least as
successful as the Allies during World War II. Let those who think
that only the forces of evil are strong learn that good guys can be
far tougher than they imagined.

There we go. I'm all out of objections; my indesisive nature has been
convinced.
Let us reveal ourselves.

William Ronald, as starter of the Oerth Alliance I ask you to email
Edna. In the email could you put in a section saying that I'm giving
the secrets of the citadels to EVREONE in the Alliance?

Re: Edena and Forester
William here.
I will do. I think Edena should know. It will make his life a lot easier.
Also, can everyone who posts here send a confirming e-mail to
Edena. He can be reached at anora@mediaone.net.
I will try to compose a letter and post it here in an hour or less. Tell
me what you think.
Has anyone head from Alyx.
Also, Forrester will try to stop by.

Re: Edena and Forester
Here is my draft for the letter to Edena. I think all of us should
approve it before I send it out. (It is a little corny, I am afraid, but
this is just a quick draft.) Tell me how I should modify it:
A CONSPIRACY OF HOPE.
Edena, I have a confession to make. I have been keeping a big
secret, which I ask you to keep until my allies and I announce it.
Please sit down if you are not doing so.
THE OERTH ALLIANCE IS REAL AND READY TO MAKE A STAND.
After the old thread collapsed, I started communicating with
like-minded individuals. People who want their nations and peoples
in the thread to have self-determination and dignity. My efforts have
been more successful than I possibly imagined.
Here is a list of the members of the Oerth Alliance, an organization
devoted to the betterment of Oerth and its peoples, preservation of
land for the fey and the cultures of our world, magical and technical
progress, and increasing the rights, respect and opportunities for all
sentient beings.
Members list:
Alyx
Black Omega
Dagger
Darkness
Gnomeworks
Kaboom
Turrosh Mak
William Ronald
Zelda
Does the list surprise you? I never thought the little conspiracy I
proposed would be so successful.
We have worked hard to keep ourselves a secret. We have told
Forrester, as the UC of Toril is an ally of Gnomeworks. (He asked for
a brief summary of what is going on, as he is busy right now. I wrote
it as a fictional intelligence report to President Forrester of the UC of
Toril.) We are working to coordinate our strategy for the thread.
You have worked hard to try to make this thread a success. I
respect your efforts. When I filled in for you, I got a taste of what
you are doing. All of us appreciate the work that you have put into
this. As well as the work of Turrosh Mak and Maudlin.
So, what does this mean for you? We will have a joint command
structure. One member can speak for the alliance, just like Mr. Draco
and Serpenteye can speak for the Dark Union of Eastern Oerth. Our
points should be pulled together in the various arms races.
We have worked on strategies and treaties. We realized it would be
very easy for us to be picked off one by one. We realized that some
of the powers on the thread would only have us as slaves. We all
realized that we can try to have magic, the fey, and technology
along with more rights and prosperity for all. We realized that a
changing world often calls for changing perspectives. We were also
alarmed a bit by the great powers of evil growing so powerful.
Darkness and I face the threat of the Hellfurnaces Alliance of the
Forsaken One, Festy Dog, and Kalanyr. Separately, we would be
destroyed. Together, we have a hope for victory.
The Oerth Alliance is a military, political, and economic alliance. It
resembles in many respects what NATO would be if the political and
economic parts of the NATO countries were closely tied together. Our
member nations retain their sovereignty, but we stand as one for
each other and against our foes.
We represent many peoples, cultures and values. We have decided
to respect each other and learn from each other. On our own Earth,
there is value in all cultures. The same is likely to be true on Oerth.
(Okay, so there are major downsides in the illithid culture. But at
least they are consistent, organized, and place a high value on
knowledge. Now if they only respected the rights of individuals.)
Again, I apologize for springing this on you and keeping it a secret. I
am well aware of the behind the scenes maneuvers of some of the
other factions. We ask that you keep us a secret until we reveal
ourselves. We are also open to more members. (Generally, we don’t
want anyone getting squished by the big boys.) We are also willing
to respect the rights of others on the boards, including the right to
be left alone, if that is their choice.
Don’t be surprised if we use a few tricks or appear to squabble. We
are prepared to use cunning as well as force to protect our world
and ourselves. Indeed, you may find some of the tricks we plan to
pull quite amusing.
We realized that the World of Greyhawk is a pretty gritty setting. We
are prepared to be smart and tough. We hope to be at least as
successful as the Allies during World War II. Let those who think
that only the forces of evil are strong learn that good guys can be
far tougher than they imagined.
