Brethren of the Brick Seas (BoBS) Introduction and Starting Thread

[gedren_y]

The Dark Narwhal and Island Rose don't appear on the lists on Flickr. The first went on the second Brick Seas Purge, the second joined the MRCA.

I have two ships that aren't listed either so I presume that there are some still missing from the lists.

I can not find my ship either, so I hope that you presume precisely. I entered the MRCA with my Silver Scythe.

[Legostone]

I entered with Green Winds, Pride of Elysabethtown, Wringe II and Colour of the Wind(MAESTRO), and none of these are there. I'm sure Ska just uploaded an incomplete teaser for us.

[Tomsche]

I don`t stress, none of the 9 ships I`ve send out are on there yet

Worst case, my next license will be back in the "cheap" bracket

So, you are going back to +100% of the total cost?

[Tomsche]

Depends what the little guys do, the 3A is at the moment out of my budget to license yet (nor is she really needed in the Cocovia area for the moment), and I have a 2A from the Purge that is waiting the final touches to bring her online as moc`ced.

After those get licensed, I can finally begin saving up for when the 6th rate is finished and the rules for the bigger classes are in the game. But first, I have a town to finish, only awaiting a small BL order to round out the final module

I will double check, but that was ALL of the ships that were submitted to the form. The list on my flickr is wrong for name of owner, but all information aligned with the proper ship name is correct.

I wouldn't be surprised if just my forms weren't submitted (there can always be a bug on my side), but apparently the same happened to others as well with at least 18 ships missing from the results. I have submitted the Pride of Elysabethtown, Green Winds, Colour of the Wind and Wringe II to their convoys at the 4th of July.

I'm not blaming anyone here, just wanted to note this and maybe this can already help resolving this issue.

I'm sure I filed my MRCA webform early in July. Did the Island Rose not get included? I believe Bregir was in charge of the Brick Seas Purge filing. I couldn't tell; did the listings posted on Flickr include the second purge?

[Ayrlego]

My ships are missing as well, I'm reasonably sure I submitted forms? If I submitted before the extension was granted, could that be the issue?

[Capt Wolf]

My ship, the Far Horizon, is missing, too, as is the MCTC ship Prince Fernando. Are any of the ships from the Eslandola Double Duty or Dragon's Teeth flotillas showing up?

[Comrade Commander]

Not to pile on, but my ship "the Novitius" doesn't appear to be on there either...

Sounds like another large hurricane kept a lot of ships in port! Haha

[Phadeout]

I believe I entered both the Gold Wing and Ultimo Fenix, the latter as part of the Dragons Teeth convoy but it was a long time ago and I wouldn't say I was 100% certain.

Hmm, odd

The Junkyard fleet as whole was entered as a convoy as well as seperate per ship as needed somewhere between the 26th and 28th IIRC, while Green Dragon should be entered by myself individually and in the convoy list of who ever did the Corrington convoys back then (I think it was Bregir who at the moment handles that)

[Sir Stig]

This is what I did also. It seems like this is the common denominator for the missing ships. I hope the missing forms are not lost in the sea of storms...

[Legostone]

Eslandolan ships in the list: Aurei Lacerta, Dragon's Revenge, Joans Raft, Pearl diving Canoe, Cotton Lady and Purple Rain are those that I can see. I know that Purple Rain and Dragon's Revenge weren't running with the Eslandolan Convoys and I'm guessing the same goes for the Pearl diving Canoe and Joans Raft. Can the owners of the Aurei Lacerta and Cotton Lady clear me up?

EDIT: Gold Wing and Ultimo Fenix are on the list too, and at least one of them was in Dragon's Teeth; the text also talks about the Flottila fighting the Viper from the SR.

This is what I did also. It seems like this is the common denominator for the missing ships. I hope the missing forms are not lost in the sea of storms...

I submitted my forms on the 4th (doublechecked conversations), so that shouldn't be it.

Weird, I hope this can get fixed without too much trouble!

Edit: Oho, we now have a class 6A in the game, the HMS Tiddlywinks captured by DukeSC

[Bregir]

Could sound like missing convoy forms, possibly? Although that does not seem to clear up all the errors.

I believe I see vesels from all three corlander convoys, but I might be mistaken. Both the Merry Lyric and the Thunderrun seems to be represented, but how about fire trader?

And to clear up a misunderstanding - I have not filled in the forms for any vessels on the pirate purge this month. I expected the commodores to coordinate this in their squadrons.

Edit: Some purge vessels were included. Commodore Genaro's squadron (Armina, Justitia, and la protecteur) sailed and appear to have done well.

PS. We need some automation of all this - I feel entirely empathic with the huge workload placed on Ska...

[Phadeout]

Apologies, didn't see the page my ships were in for some reason and they've boh done really well - huzzah!

And yes, I hope automation can solve some of the burden for Ska it does seem an awful lot of work on our behalf - sincere thanks.

[Elostirion]

If Ska provides the ruleset I could definitely write a web-based tool applying the rules, for anyone to use. Even that everyone could simulate his own journey. Or whatever.

But I assume Ska does not want that....

I'm pretty sure I submitted before the extension as well. I concur that that seems to be at least an issue, if not the issue.

[SilentWolf]

The Pinto Filly should have been submitted on the 5th. The Don Obello was in the Pirate Purge so there might have been issue with miscommunication on who was handling it.

[Ayrlego]

On a completely different note!

All Players!

Looking for some quick cash while the trade shipping is becalmed???

The Corlander settlement of Mooreton Bay needs Residences, Artisans and Factories and will pay for you to construct them in the settlement!

For the first 4 licensed properties I will refund you the full cost of the license plus 10DB.

Alternatively if you don't wish to licence a property in Mooreton Bay, I will buy the 'plans' for the property from you and license it in the name of the settlement. In this case I propose to pay the builder the same amount as the licence cost and include the 10DB bonus payment.

For a limited time only!!!!

You should make a dedicated topic of this in the Pirate Forum. Maybe with a helpful link to the convention's site. I would love to make an announcement of this in the Pirate Forums.

Unfortunately the lull in trade continues until at least Sept. 15th with Ska still not available.
