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
