*** CORVINIA NEWSLETTER *** No. 2 *** February 11, 1998 *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WINTER BALL BECAME GAME NIGHT: For a while there, it seemed as if the planned Winter Ball would come to naught. An unfortunate tendency among the invitees to be absent, not just from the ball, but from the general vicinity (well, it was skiing season), threatened to derail the event. Rising to the occasion, the inner circle of nobility (well, those who weren't off skiing) took the opportunity to meet for a cosy evening of gaming, dining, drinking, gaming, conversation and more gaming. It turned out to be well worth the effort, and we played "Age of Renaissance" till the wee hours (personally, I hit the royal sack around 5 A.M., and spent most of Sunday lying in state). But - next time we gather, let's make sure the attendance is somewhat higher. CORVINIA GETS MAILING LIST: As the headline says, Corvinia has a mailing list of it very own, CORVINIA-L. In case you don't know what a mailing list is, it's a sort of common e-mail address that one may subscribe to. All mail, sendt to the list, is then distributed to the subscribers. Joining the list is simple: send an e-mail to "listserv@dreamstorm.com" with the text: "subscribe corvinia-l [Your Personal Name] [Your Surname]" in the body. A confirmation will follow, and posting to the list is done by sending mail to "corvinia-l@dreamstorm.com". We would like to thank one of our newest subjects, Master Casper Møller Frederiksen, who has kindly allowed us the use of listserver. You are strongly encouraged to subscribe to the list - this is expected to be an important forum for Corvinians in the future. UNCLE RAVEN WANTS YOU: In the light of the diplomatic crisis that recently threatened Corvinias good relations with Reunion (further details in Bulletins of the Ministry of Propaganda, http://users.cybercity.dk/~bcc6937/corvmpb.html), it has been decided to send out a call for volunteers in a new standing army. In this way, we also get a golden opportunity to hand out even more titles, in case anybody has felt overlooked. We call upon our loyal subjects to sign up, bearing in mind that Corvinia does not discriminate on the basis of gender. Indeed, out of regard for our personal desire to continue living (ahem), we have immediately named Princess Lone to the title of Chairman of the College of Generals (the Colin Powell of Corvinia). Plenty of opportunities exist for advancement in rank and medals and stuff - strike, while the iron is hot! Volunteer and be an officer, or be conscripted and be a private. Full details concerning the army will be posted, as soon as the most important ranks have been filled. ALTERNATIVE ADDRESS: Those of you who find the URL http://users.cybercity.dk/~bcc6937/corvin.html a bit on the tedious side, will be happy to hear that the URL http://corvinia.home.ml.org now also leads to Corvinia's homepage. The URL in question comes from a so-called "domain-hosting" service at ml.org, a netservice that provides free aliases. It should be easier to remember. That's all for this newsletter - incidentally, this is also the first English-language version of the newsletter. Henceforth, all editions will be published in both Danish and English. Regards from your Prince, Peter I Ravn |
