I'll yttake Mission 15 Bandit

**Sociopsychoactive** · 08-12-2004, 11:30

"What? AGAIN???!" Screamed Sociopsychoactive on hearing that another messenger had been killed and the body discovered this morning. "Why there must be a pack of bandits preying on them, but untill we get our messengers running safely again we can't do anything about it! Curse those lawless dogs!"

((As you guessed already, my comp went pop again. It is in the process of being repaired, but this may take some time. Untill further notice I am opting out of any missions.))

Too bad, Socio, to be cut off from all messengers. Well, at least the occasional pidgeon message is getting through, But that is hardly enough to sign up for an escort contract. So I guess, I'll have to wait until you manage to set up camp outside of McGregor's bow-range

Chimyang, I've put you down for mission #15. Good luck without your Turcopoles.

Oh, and Guy emailed me. He is still having problems to login and post here. But told me he wants to sign up for mission #17.

ok, I'll be of on holidays tomorrow (excited....

)

Feel free, over the next two weeks to sign up and arrange battles by yourselves if you want to - I guess you will all know how teh game works by now. Post the result here and I will go and sort out the payments when I get back.

Good Luck and have fun (I know I will

)

have a good holiday, mate.

Greetings bandits and mercenaries,

I just returned from my holiday. Great time. I enjoyed it a lot.
But it is also good to be back to the Guild.

I see that, while I was away, the demo for RTW came out. Whow, the Colosseum is overflowing with activity.

Here, at B&M, things seem to have been more quiet. Well, I guess everyone is busy playing the demo. Still, some players signed up for missions and if noone opposed them, they shall get their due reward.

Octavian has long been waiting for the shipment of beer. Well, as I could not find a Mercenary to guard it, I wanted to ask the City Guards. But even with them I had no luck. So the brave peasants set off on their own and, not surprisingly, fell easy pray to Octavians men. They saved their lives by handig over the shipment without a fight. 100 barrels of beer go right into Octavian's camp.

Pretty much the same is true for Chimpyang. 100 boxes of honey, worth 1500 Florins, are easily his.

But at least my 100 boxes of white lace went safely from Brussels to Paris. Guy met no opposition and brough the shipment through without a scratch. The promised reward of 1400 Florins shall be his.

Well, a few more missions are open, and a couple more weeks to go.
Mercenaries, don't be shy to take up the grant from the Guildmaster. Any money you recieve from the guild will not be counted as yours when I work out the score in the end, but it should help you to give Octavian and the other bandits a few good battles. Just enjoy the game and have fun.
