We have changed things slightly - from DYPD to DYAD.
Thus, we ask you all to read HELP DYAD and to do your Achaean duty.

It seems that some felt that an appeal to patriotism could only
apply to one OOC country, in one place. We pointed out to several of
them that the earliest references to the Patria, and thus Patriotic,
were from hundreds and even thousands of years before the establishment
of any of today's western countries, and that we had certainly no
intention of referring to any existing countries in the phrase.

To no avail!

So we take up this new phrase which hopefully will please the
suspicious ones out there too, and help us convince you that our
interest is solely and completely in referring to in-game Achaean
realities.

Penned by my hand on the 19th of Scarlatan, in the year 364 AF.
