     Below is a list of countries that have not bothered to check out their
countries yet.  Please do so.  I will be on one of those wonderfull week long
business trips all next week.  So if you can not reach me via email by
3:00 EDT this afternoon, you are not going to get in touch wil me for about
a week and a half (you are not going to get me on the weekends either).
Come August 3rd, any countries that have not check out their country names
and passwords will have the country thrown to the wolves (i.e. the alternates
list which is filled with blood thirsty emperor-wannabes).  If you are having
a problem connecting, with the country name, or pass word, please send me
email during the next week.  That will keep you in the game.
     I hope I don't come off like a real weenie by doing this but there are
a lot of people who want to play and if somebody does not show any interest,
I would like to get somebody in who does.  68 countries is a lot of people,
but I would like to see every country break and play.

I maybe screwed in this game, but hey you have to learn.

Thanks.

do)
Also there will no GLOBAL BLEED this game.  So tech production will be

You are a totally biased idiot, who seems to be totally incapable
of looking at anything from the other side.  Claiming that only
the British flew the hardest missions is incredibly stupid when you
consider that the American A-10 aircfraft is a ground attack that
must fly low altitude support missions leaving it open to all sorts
of anti-aircraft weapons while attacking enemy military hardware
directly.  It flew hundreds, if not thousands of missions in the
Gulf War.  Furthermore, American paratroops were the first into
Iraq when the fighting started.  They were then followed by 
divisions of American troops.  Hindsight allows us to realize that
the war would be won easily, but then they thought they were heading
into the "Mother of all battles".

It is possible to accuse the American armed forces of many things.
Cowardice is not among them.

Now, fuck off, and take your posts out of rec.games.empire.

I've captured and talked to Shindia (she ran away).  I've rescued
Prince Keirgar, he's joined my party (I dropped the young Dwarf), and
we've gone and talked to the Dwarves on level 5.  Now, I currently
have the stone dagger, sceptre, medallion, and necklace.  The last
time I played this, I thought I found more than these.  Anyway, here
are my questions:

1) I apparently skipped the Oracle of Knowledge stuff.  I saw it on my
way down, but didn't take good notes and now I can't find it again.
Where is it?  And where is the black stone that I need to operate it?

2) Is there any point in keeping those blue gems that I put in the
eyes of the wall and then removed to finish the special quest for
level 3?

3) Where are the rest of the "stone" items?  Do I even need them?

4) Is there anything else I need to do?

     It's already in the stores.  It includes:

		Plundered Hearts
		Cutthroats
		Seastalker
		Wishbringer
		Trinity
		Bureaucracy
		Hollywood Hijinx

     It also includes a little coupon to buy LGOP for $9.95.

     This package contains no hintbook, but instead has a 900

     LTOI 2 is about $10 cheaper than the first.

Yes it has been released.  I got my copy Monday and it's incredible!!!!
I am having a problem with the Soundblaster support though.  The Soundblaster
worked fine in the sound test mode, but when I was playing a game, it would
lock up.  I tried to change over to Realsound, and got no sound at all out of
my internal speaker.  I then changed back to Soundblaster, and can't get any
sound at all now.  Anyone else had this problem?

Also, I've got a 386/33 with 4 MB of RAM, and using the highest detail on

I used to play Elite on a friend's C64, so I bought a copy when
it came out for the IBM.  On the C64 version, there were missions
that you would get.  To get a mission, you had to do a *LOT* of
continuous fighting, like flying out to an anarchy and had to do
some heavy fighting on your way in, or took a trip out to the sun
to refuel, you *MIGHT* get a message saying "Right on, commander"
appear in the middle of your screen.  The next time that you
docked at a space station, they would contact you again.  I was
never able to get a mission on the IBM version, and gave up on
playing it.  (I had made "Elite" status and had switched galaxies
several times, but still no mission.)

My son, aged 13, would like me to build more games for our small
network of Sun3/80 and Sun3/60 workstations, running Sunos 4.1.1 and
Open Windows 2.0.  He enjoys xtrek (he and his friends take over two
or three machines here to do cosmic battle), and he has praised a game
called `Civilization' which he plays on a friend's ms-dos machine.  We
also have acm which he finds a bit too tricky.

I'd very much appreciate suggestions of other good X-windows games
that he might enjoy, preferably source that is available on uunet, as
we do not have direct ftp access.  Please send replies by email; I
don't want to be the instigator of a my-game-is-better-than-yours
flamefest.  Thanks.
