>>>>>[Things are getting a bit strange over here. Last week I got a little
message from a guy who called himself Marcellus. It was short and a bit
unusual. It said "The games afoot. --QP-D4--" I can recognise a chess move
when I see it so I figured why not, let's see how good he is.

That's when things started getting a bit wierd. The Correlli family started
moving in on Clan Yamada's territory. The next day a friend got attacked but
got away so we sent someone to stick with him to keep him safe. For the rest
of the week we played 2 moves a day and had minor fire fights.

It seemed natural, rivals trying to move in on our territory we retaliate.
Then the strangest thing happened. I finally took one of his pawns and that
night a few of my brothers found a Correlli alone and he was killed. The next
day I lost a pawn and one of our younger razors got fragged.

It seemed strange but probably coincidental until I took his knight and
during a small fire fight a minor don was scragged.

If anyone has any leads on this Marcellus fragger, give me a buzz. I'd hate
to see what happens if I lose.]<<<<<
