I'm so glad you approve! It was quite the challenge to take on one of your builds for this contest. But I couldn't pass up the chance to try!

This is a rebuild of Big Sal's Experiment P0B06 Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal: Date: 4 Janurali 3816. Experiment Code: C3B08. Lead Scientist: Big Sal. Location: Kawashita territory, Greater Direstan. Aim: Award famous Kawashita scientist. Excerpt ends. Greetings fellow scientists! Uh, who are you? I'm Big Sal! The famous mighty Kawashita scientist! Did you just say 'mighty Kawashita'? Yes! That's exactly what I said! Man, after wading through all this water, I could do with a shower! I didn't need to know that, why are you here? I'm here to inspect your project! Fill me in on your latest findings. Hmmm, I don't know about that. I'm still not exactly sure who you are? Yeah, if you're Kawashita, what's today's password? Uhhhh... Hey! Dr Wu asked you a question! Stop mumbling! Ok, you got me. I'm not really a scientist. I'm from the Nobel Prize... I mean Kawashita Statue of Excellence committee! We've been watching Dr Wu and we're very impressed! OHMYGOODNESS! WOOO! Oh, wow, I'm flattered! Yes, it's true! I'm here to conduct our final investigation, so if you could just give me all the details of your work... THIS IS AMAZING! Oh, yes, of course! So, this is our new awesomnium drill and we recently discovered the astounding fact that... Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal: Results: The trophy was successfully delivered. Conclusions: Dr. Wu can talk forever when you let her. Excerpt ends. OoC: While not as big a base as Big Sal's original build, I tried to capture the same look and feel. I only had 3 dart cannons so I modified the drill as well. And having a smaller base (as well as no raft pieces) I had to leave out Big Sal's boat. I hope the story made up for it!

See the previous tales: Wyndor's Saga: Chapter 1 -What Has Past- Chapter 2 -What Has Past- Chapter 3 The Green Dragon Inn Bustle at Treacleheim After weeks on the road, Wyndor and Valanice had finally made it to Budd-apest. The road had not been the safest as Kaliphlin was still facing repercussions from their civil war. Travelers had found it was best not to declare they were for any one side because they never knew when they might meet an overzealous Ulandian or Desert King sympathizer. Wyndor and Valanice adopted this practice as well even though it seemed to them that the Desert King had the most legitimate claim to the guild. They arrived at the gate weary but safe. “We’re here to visit the library” they declared. “And how do we know you aren’t from the High Council come to cause trouble?” asked the mummy guard. “We’re from Mitgardia” began Wyndor, “And we have no allegiance to the High Council. We’ve been facing a plague of terrors across the northern half of our guild and we’ve come to seek answers from the acclaimed library of your fair city.” “Flattery will get you nowhere” was the Masketeer’s reply. “We’re not trying to flatter!” said Valanice. “We really just want any information on the Algus!” Neither guard made any attempt to open the gate so Wyndor and Valanice turned to each other. “What do we do now?” they asked themselves. Just then the gates opened and a captain of the Red Guard stepped out. “What’s all this commotion?” he asked. “Sir,” the mummy replied, “These travelers claim to be on a peaceful mission of knowledge and wish to see the library.” “At ease,” the Red Guard captain answered, “Word has reached me of two Mitgardians looking for answers. I think we can safely allow these travelers into our city.” The captain didn’t say anything else so Wyndor and Valanice followed him in.

Sea Rats: Sign-up and Discussion
MKJoshA replied to Darkdragon's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Born the 3rd son of well-to-do land owner in Olean, Sinbad was expected to join the clergy as all good 3rd born sons were known to do. His oldest brother was to inherit the land from their father, and the 2nd son was already a person of note in the Olean Navy. And if Sinbad were to follow tradition, he would become a well spoken clergyman. But Sinbad did not believe in the religion of his people, and he did not want to be stuck on land his whole life. His heart yearned for the sea so to the sea he went. The full story is for another time, but after more than one voyage, he ended up on the island known as the Den of Thieves. The island lived up to its name and soon Sinbad found himself penniless. More story to come soon! -
Can someone let me know what class the boat in this topic would be listed as? And if it had 4 cannons, what would it be?

Location: D10 The Hamilton Belt Tags: None Last time, in Ender's story: A Space Saga Begins Is it Mine Mine? Okami Bike Kawashita Hummer Where Was I Supposed to Be? Spaceman Spiff Black Hair, the Pirate Ender was still depressed and although he didn't want to admit it, he was also addicted to the holodeck. He punched up a new program called "Merry Men Adventures" and set off into the imaginary world. The adventure wasn't so merry as Ender found himself playing the part of one of Prince John's unlucky soldiers. "Put him over there!" shouted Little John, "We'll use him for target practice." Ender screamed and yelled, "Computer! End program!" Ender knew he really needed to get this addiction under control. Thankfully he received orders to report to the data center on board the ship he was on. "Ender" the woman began "We have another mission for you." "And by 'we' I assume you mean the Okami Force" answered Ender. "Yes" she answered. "Your orders are on the screen."

Well, this contest has been over for awhile, so no...

I second this question! And how do you become mayor of a city, if you are a Sea Rat? Another question I have: for the free property, are there any limits on it? Can I build a factory or plantation as my first free property, or does it have to be the cheapest, i.e. a residence or artisan?
-
I would recommend making your choice based on which faction you like best, not which colors you own. You are more likely to build for the team you identify with rather than the one you have the most colors for. And you really don't have to have a lot of the team color, there are lots of ways around it! You could have a ragtag crew that wears any colors, or you could have your sigfig constantly fighting against the opposite factions. Building wise it also challenges you to think outside the box and to learn how to work with a limited building pallet. Notice I didn't name any factions, that's because it doesn't matter which you pick, just have fun with it!
-
Thank you for the clarification! So, does that mean we all have 2 more days to get our automatic 10db freebuilds in for December? Or are December and January being seen as one month here at the beginning?
-
I believe it's an automatic 10dbs for the first two freebuilds ever, not per month. After that all freebuilds are judged and can earn a max of 7dbs.
-
Right, but if I build a fort I want it to help my team by placing it strategically. It sounds like I just need to wait for the maps, I think that will answer my question.
-
One more question on forts. All freebuilds count for DBs whether you licence them or not, right? So I could build a 32x32 fort, licence it as a small fort and then pay for the upgrade, but I could technically make more DBs if I built both the 16x16 and the 32x32, yes? Not planning on that, just trying to understand all the details. As for which team, I haven't officially joined yet and I want to keep my choice a secret! I have some MOCing to do for the next SoNE contest that I need to finish before I jump into something like this And the form I was looking at I believe was here, but it's not there anymore. I guess I just caught it before you changed it.
-
Thanks for all the answers! In regards to the fort, really I just want to know if I build a 32x32 fort can I licence it under 16x16 and then just pay for the upgrade to 32x32, or do I need to build two different MOCs. And for placement of said fort, I know which islands each nation "owns," but I don't know the names of any cities. At this point does it not matter? I could just submit it (after having earned the DBs of course) and pick a location latter? For me it's more about knowing what kind of story to write with it and location is a big part of that. Lastly, for licencing a ship the options have "sloop," "barge," etc. as options in the form, not Class 1 WR, Class 1 T, etc. Is that an oversight or do we need to have our ship classified as one of the listed options?
-
Very much so! I just have a little more I think I need clarified. To me, a Junk is the style of ship and can come in many sizes from the size of a yacht to a 10 gun ship. So could I build a smaller, Junk style ship and if so, what size limitations would I need to watch out for to keep in the Class 1 or 2 range? I.E. only 4 guns and no longer than 30 studs.
-
I have a couple questions. I like the game mechanics, but even after reading through all the material twice I'm a little confused. If I'm starting out from the very beginning and want to build and register a Chinese Junk like this one, what do I need to do? And what would I need to do to make sure it falls under the "free" category? Also, if I want to build a 32x32 fort, what do I need to do? Does there have to be a 16x16 version of it first? And what's the best way to find a good strategic spot to build the fort? Lastly, if I do get a boat built, registered, and approved. How can I send it on a Bounty Seeker mission? Do I have to have at least 2 other players with me to go on a Bounty Seeker mission? And how soon could I go on this mission? I know partial answers to these questions, but I figured it be easier for someone to answer from the top since I'm sure others have the same questions

Now that I actually have them, please transfer 30 credits to EpsilonEta.

See the previous tales: Wyndor's Saga: Chapter 1 -What Has Past- Chapter 2 -What Has Past- Chapter 3 The Green Dragon Inn It had been weeks since Wyndor had left Dalig Ulv on a quest to find a way to find a way to stop the Algus. Pjeter had his hands full running the city now that he was short 2 council members. Though having Rothgar and the dwarves back was a huge help as they were busy in their mines, foundries, lumber yards, and other businesses around the city. In addition to bringing more life to Dalig Ulv, a group of the dwarves had begun work on bringing Treacleheim back to life. After decades of being abandoned, most of the buildings were unlivable but being of dwarven construction it didn’t take much to make them habitable again. It was at one of the buildings not set inside the mountain that the dwarves had turned into a city hall of sorts that Natolyth, Chalin, Mattimeo and Constance found Rothgar. He was there talking about the future of both Dalig Ulv and Treacleheim with Pjeter. “The last letter we received from Wyndor and Valanice said they were on their way to Kaliphlin,” started Natolyth. “They have had little luck in finding information on how to defeat the Algus besides dragon-forged weapons, which we already knew about.” “That is what we feared, and what the elves where hoping when they agreed to the terms,” began Rothgar, “but surely you didn’t come out here just to give us an update.” “No,” began Chalin, “we’ve been taking stock of our weapons to see if there are any dragon-forged blades in our armory and we have found none. We were wondering if there were any that had been found in Treacleheim during the restoration process?” “You are in luck!” replied Rothgar, “I happened across at least one blade just the other day. I can take you to it now. Unfortunately I haven’t heard of any other blades being discovered, but perhaps if there is one, there will be more!”
-
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying!
-
I had them, then they disappeared from my signature. I checked the player roster and they were still there. They are the 30 credits from my last judged build from the 13th.

Shadows of Nar Eurbrikka — Introduction and Discussion
MKJoshA replied to Brickdoctor's topic in Nar Eurbrikka Archive
Having a good story to go with your builds is not required! Often times pictures can tell a thousand words, right? A good story usually helps compliment a build and can sometimes lead to a slightly higher XP score, but if you don't feel like you're good at story writing don't worry! We won't hold it against you at all -
Location: E11 Fascini Cluster Tags: None Last time, in Ender's story: A Space Saga Begins Is it Mine Mine? Okami Bike Kawashita Hummer Where Was I Supposed to Be? Spaceman Spiff Earlier... A natural at sales, pombe came to Dr. Long with a brilliant idea: You want to do what? It'll be the hotest item off the Octan production line! I guarentee I can get Kawashita alone to buy 5,000 units. And are you prepared to write all of the programs for the holodecks yourself? You're going to need a lot of body scans to create all the holo-characters you'll need. Not a problem. I'm going to pull the programs from Earth's media archives, and I have an extensive team ready to be the holo-models. Later that day... So here is the list of people I'll need you to portray. It's all historical characters like I requested right? Of course! Umm, don't you know that Little Mermaid is just a fairy tale? Nonsense Eshey, everyone knows mermaids are real. Now go change into your costume. Later... Ender was still recovering from his fights against the Emboians. He decided to take another turn on the holodeck. This time, he chose one of the timeline mashups in which he portrayed the villainous pirate, Black Hair. He had been captured by Zoid Blue-coats when a debonair pirate rushed in to save the day. Ender had noticed that the holodeck programs featured this character a lot, and always in heroic roles. He wondered why that was... (OoC: Please note that the holodeck scene was featured in my last build and should not be judged for this week)
