En Passant

RdV's Trial - This will take place in the first week of January and counts as a weekly action for the accused and any witnesses that choose to attend. Note that witnesses must be of equal or higher SL than the accused (SL 13 or above in this case) and that the charge is for a serious offence. For full details see section 28 of the House Rules and the Crime and Punishment Table.

A Call for Press - Things are pretty quiet on the mailing list these days with about 20% of the players responsible for 80% of the press messages. Running orders through a computer is a tedious business and the only thing that makes it worthwhile is reading what your characters have to say. This is your chance to flesh out your character and make him stand out from the crowd. While there are game events that lend themselves to comment (e.g. duels, regimental rivalries, stealing mistresses) your characters are allowed to express their opinions or observations on any aspect of Paris life, or indeed on each other. As well as the traditional letter such comment could take the form of a narrative, a letter home, war diaries while on campaign, extra details in your orders for the Gazette's stories, etc. It's your game so use your imagination and blow your own trumpet as no-one else will.

E-mail Address - My ISP has been taken over and as a result, my e-mail address has changed to dptye@attglobal.net. The old ibm.net address will continue to remain valid for months to come, however, and my alternative address remains arcadiaengarde@yahoo.com. At the moment all mail is being forwarded to the Yahoo account so please don't copy messages to both addresses.

Regimental Duties - Buried within the rules somewhere it states that it is the Battalion commander who decides whether subalterns/privates are excused duties. If your Btn CO is a PC then he has to order this; if it is an NPC you can ask to be excused in your orders. Either way, only one week of duties can be excused (i.e. a private must still do a minimum of one week per month).

Orders - Please remember to put your character initials and the game month in the subject header for your orders. Also, please try to avoid waiting for the last minute to submit orders if possible as it will minimise any delays due to queries over orders and chasing people up. Thanks.

Orders deadline - Thu 18 May 1200 GMT

to KFC Buquet

FROM THE DESK OF FRERE JACQUES

Dear Minister Buquet,

It is with great modesty and extraordinary humbleness that I accept your appointment to Minister of Charitable Affairs. As my first official act I recognize Michel LaCroix as "Benefactor to the Unfortunate". Michel has shown all Paris the meaning of the Christian virtue of charity! Furthermore, the rumors connecting Michel to pagan rituals could not be more false. I personally attended a most pleasing gathering at his estate, and found the guests to be pious and godly persons.

I hope you will approve my request to commission, from Mssr. LaCroix, a mural for the Ministry of Charitable Affairs offices. A mural entitled "Frere Jacques Ministering to the Undeserving" would do much to inspire the poor of Paris.

Go with God,
Frere Jacques

JCL Mulls

Coming out of regimental HQ Jean Claude stops and reflects. "You are indeed a figure in your new uniform Jean and, truth be told it IS nice to see the way your new mistress looks at you in it. But is a military career for you? Remember the righteous ferver that rose within you when you defended the Cardinal and the Bishops? Perhaps the church is where you belong Jean. Perhaps you should learn to preach instead of fight?" Jean chuckles to himself and fingers the hilt of his Rapier....hmmm....."Perhaps?"

Re: to KFC Buquet

Cher Frere Jacques!

How about making your second act of charity a party for the common soldiers? I think we've discussed this topic before, but it's one of my favorite ones.

May God bless you!

Advice

My dearest Bishop,

Holy one I write to you for advice. I have long been a pious man and raised to revere the catholic beliefs of the church and his Majesty. I find that a ferver for the scripture burns within me. It is my desire to serve our Lord as do you but I do not know how to go about fulfilling such desires. You piety and honour are spoken of throughout Paris. Could you perhaps help guide me in that area? Your assistance would leave me in your debt. And of course lead me to make a generous donation to the widows and orphans of the church.

I am your servant.

Jean-Claude du Lac, Subaltern-27th Musketeers

Farewell!

Just a quick letter to my dear friends of Paris.

I shall, once again be off on voyage. The lure of the unknown lands is too strong to contain me to the streets of Paris. The sea, the adventure. Farewell dear friends, and see you when my vessel returns.

Michel LaCroix

FJ to JCL

FROM THE DESK OF FRERE JACQUES

My Dear Jean-Claude,

Your pious fevor makes me long for my own seminary days. You must make haste to the Archbishop's office and beg leave to study as a Student of Theology! Unfortunately, the Archbishops has been frowning of late on students from the peasant classes. You must present yourself in the best light. A generous gift to the unfortunate, and attendence at the Widows and Orphan's "Peasant Aid" fund raiser week four, would surely impress those popinjays at the Archbishop's. These fund raisers draw from the elite of Paris, but I'm sure a likely god-fearing lad would raise no upset.

Go with God,

Frere Jacques

The RdV Situation

FROM THE DESK OF FRERE JACQUES

Father Oestminster,

Really, you must do something about RdV. I believe he must be possessed by a demon! Just now he ran by the rectory into the convent, followed by screams and a flood of indecently composed sisters. The man is wilder than a friar left overnight in the wine cellar!

His grace the Cardinal has no time to deal with the earthly affairs of the church in Paris, so we look to you to provide guidance in these matters. If RdV is more than you can handle, please step down for a priest with a firmer hand.

Go with God,

Frere Jacques
