Direct email replies do not go to the sender. (This is intended to protect the privacy of other players.) ====================================================================== Dear World, Well, I must say, that when my friend the Porcupine talks, I'll listen. So, here's my offer. I'm not going to keep BoldlyGo's minions alive just because some of you want them around to entertain you. That doesn't seem fair--I know that I would hate to live in a little glass aquarium all of my life just because some people think I'm funny. At the same time, I have many friends who enjoy the easy life and the little miceys or crickets from heaven that drop in every week or so. So, I am sending a message to BoldlyGo. I don't know if he himself can be reached, because he ran away on a train, and I don't think he has a cell phone, and it may be that my friend has given him a very nasty bite already (if my friend didn't get squished by the train--we have found many scaley bodies, but they're hard to tell one from the other). I am not going to sit around all of my life waiting for BoldlyGo to respond, but I will gladly sit around 'til Tuesday because Porcupines is right and my belly is very full. BoldlyGo, if you want me to spare the 40 minions that you have left in the one little town, I will gladly leave them alone, on the following conditions. You have to send a note to that effect by Tuesday (when I will send in this week's orders). Also, you have to send back all of the snakey paraphanalia that you made, like the boots and the briefcase and all of that so that we can properly bury them and their families can come to mourn at their rocks. You have to do this even if you have already given them away to your friends, or have sold them. I don't care how you get them back, but all snakeskin must be returned. Finally, you have to tell everybody that snakes aren't slimy at all, they are scaley! We will become the bestest of friends, except that I will keep you in your little box and will feel glad to fight your friends until I have them in little boxes also. I only like putting people in little boxes, not my animal friends, so if your friends all change their names to animals then maybe I won't fight them either, we'll see... If you would rather start up again in a new land where you are not in a little box, and then you can fight me again if we meet each other, then you can either tell me that, or just don't say anything, and that will be fine. On Tuesday I will tell my snakes to eat up the last of you--we will even promise to kill them before we eat them, as a tribute to your very impressive soldiering skills, because you have been a very bad enemy and we would not have ever beaten you if we did not have so many more snakes than you had nasty people. Best of luck, either way, and hopefully some CITES agent has already captured you and made you pay a lot of money for your nasty briefcase and boots. By the way, everyone wants funny people in this world, so I thought that if I can remember then I will tell a little snake joke with all of my posts so that you will think they are funny. Here's the first one: Q: What do you get when you cross a constrictor snakey with a basketball? A: A bouncing baby boa!!! Ha Ha! That's a funny one, I think! I love snake jokes, and I have a very funny picture in my head now of a little baby snake with his tummy all full, bouncing around the jungle. Ha ha! Yum, basketballs! Ha ha! They're almost as tasty as Boldlies! Yum, Boldlies! -- Acanthopis ====================================================================== PE-WJ-Diplo [BoldlyGo]: News from the Rear.

And to think only a few days ago I was wallowing in thick mud and trying to decapitate a rather large king cobra that was spitting at me. Not to mention adders, vipers and various other types. God, there were thousands of the buggers. Pity about the lads I left behind but there you go, the news must get through. They all understood why I grabbed my notebook and my nice new snakeskin briefcase and jumped the last train out. I hear on the grapevine that I have upset the Big Scaly One and unless I return certain things and agree to certain terms by Tuesday he will continue to eliminate those that remain on hill 181. Hear is my answer Sir. I reject your blatant attempt to muzzle the press and suppress the truth. Your blackmail will not succeed Sir. Both my editor and myself will never bow to threats and intimidation. Do your worst to the defenceless survivors. Bad luck chaps. On a more pleasant note the editor has allowed me to take a well-earned holiday. However, our many readers need not despair, another reporter has been allocated to the Wilderness Universe and will soon be sending in his first missive. ====================================================================== PE-WJ-Diplo [Acanthopis]: Boldlies Date:Mon, 02 Oct 2006 17:14:06 +0000 To reply, log in at http://www.powersedge.net/?Page=Login or use your newspaper form.

I will order my snakies to read your note the the Boldly troops before inflicting the final bites. I look forward to your return, as I have every intention of getting that briefcase back. This time my snakes will not let you go! -- Acanthopis Q: What do you call a snake who works for the Government? A: A civil serpent! Ha Ha! Get it? A snake who works for the government? This is funny because snakes are Libertarians so they hate working for the government! Ha ha! And the government would never hire us because we type badly and often steal office supplies, so this is kind of like a joke within a joke because it's funny from both sides! I love finding jokes on the web! ====================================================================== PE-WJ-Diplo [BoldlyGo]: News from the Rear.

(This is intended to protect the privacy of other players.) ====================================================================== Whoops. It seems office politics has reared its head. Everyone wants a nice snakeskin briefcase. I am now deputy under editor and my leave allowance has been extended and I have been told the wrong universe was mentioned in my last dispatch. I have made it plain that I was in the Power Universe and that is where my replacement should be sent. Also, I must tell you, snake jokes are all the rage now in the office. Here is my favourite, awfully funny and a real scream. Why did the snake cross the road? Because it wanted to play squash. I think this really good as I can imagine the snake, looking both ways, not seeing anything coming and setting off to the other side. Then halfway across the ground begins to shudder and shake, Oh dear, what to do? Forward? Back? Stay still? Does it matter? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Squashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Nothing personal. Got to go and pack now. Till we meet again. Boldly. ====================================================================== PE-WJ-Diplo [New Professor]: Reports of my demise Date:Wed, 04 Oct 2006 11:38:27 +0000 To reply, log in at http://www.powersedge.net/?Page=Login or use your newspaper form.
