SkaForHire Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I am hopping some kind of humoristic character is not out of context in this game as it seemed very serious to me when I read the rules. This said, I think great serious rules could work fine with a touch of humour and fantasy. Humor is great! The rules can be fun, just at first they seem to be a lot -- you can actually bend them to have a lot of fun creating interesting and even silly settlements in the new world. - Will it be possible, by the MCRA game, to explore new lands by doing the exploration action ? or the discovery of land will be reserved for the challenges ? The question is : if I want to explore a bit, am I authorised to add an island somewhere it is not planned to be ? For the first few months, there will not be a discovery option in the MCRA, but that is possible in the future. I am not giving too much away here, but the first couple challenges will be about adding islands to our map. For now, you are not allowed to make up islands, but those will be revealed by leadership. As for other exploration; you can charter a new settlement on a current island, provided you get approval, and you can free-build wherever. But you will only be able to buy licenses for free-builds that are in chartered settlements; unless you want to do things illegally, in which case, well, don't expect me to help you! Seriously though, I'm not sure what the rules relative illegal squatter settlements are... ...that sounds funny. You can lay down a squatter colony anywhere, you just have to A) draw a map of the settlement, B) post that claim (the main thread is fine to do this) and C) hope to heck that whoever gains control of that island (or has control of the island) lets you stay. I would not squat anywhere that is not in New Terra (East of Terraversa on the map) Because the map is moving that direction, and those Sea of Storms ports are going to get lonely out there. The new maps are coming in the next two weeks, so right now we encourage those who are signing up early to build their free builds and opening stories and be a little patient in choosing where to put their first buildings, settlements, etc...

Umbra-Manis Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Revon de Crocodil declaring allegiance to Eslandola and the MCTC! Revon was washed ashore as a young child in Eslandola, wrapped in the flag of a Crocodile. He now wears what is left of this flag as his personal crest. The name given to him was also derived from this flag. Now an adult, he has joined the Merchant's Colonial Trading Company. Quote
Kai NRG Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Welcome UM! ...If I make a building and place it in Stedor, it counts as a legit building, right? The final decision is in - yes, it counts. You cannot, however, purchase a license for any MOC placed in the old world. Quote

Lady K Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I have a question about the color of green used. Is it a particular color of green or are all shades of green ok? I was thinking of using sand green in my sigfig and intro build. Quote
SkaForHire Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 So far the Poll from earlier this year was totally wrong. Eslandola and Oleon are killing it for membership, and the Sea Rats are almost a no show (I kind of figured Corrington would be low on members) Quote
gedren_y Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) I have finally finished the story for my first BoBS freebuild; The History, Faith, and Present of Dearji (and others). I also added a link to it in my entry post. Edited December 30, 2015 by gedren_y Quote
Maxim I Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 As an answer to a previous question of Gedren: Stedor is under Tirelli :) @Ska, I would say, don't wait too long with closing Oleon and Eslandola so new members will have to go to Corrington or the Pirates :) Quote

I was thinking of using sand green in my sigfig and intro build. You can use any shade of green on your fig, but the official colors for the flag are the standard "normal" green and gold. You don't have to include the flag all the time (or even most of the time), though. Quote

Ok, so normal green and gold for the flag....can I use the small pendent flags( one green and one gold). Quote

Eslandola isn't going to have any sort of flag police! Quote

Maxim I Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Lord Maximilian Damaximus is visiting the wharf to see his upcomming jewel: (note: Margot is the name of my fiancee :D ) All the decks are minifig highth (I had to cheat a little bit for the lower deck by lowering the floor 1 brick and putting the cannons on bricks ;) Atm, the vessel should have 46 cannons. 23 of them will be visible, those on the left broadside :) Now I am out of some necessary bricks, so I have to wait until my BL-order arrives :( Edited December 31, 2015 by Maxim I Quote
gedren_y Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Congrats on the engagement. Who proposed, you or her? Will Stedor be seeing a wedding soon? Quote

Captain Dee Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Nice looking ship, Maxim. Major firepower, good colorscheme, and lots of gold accents. Yep, you hit all the main points. I hear you loud and clear on the deck height issue (raising the cannons). Prefabs are fun to build on but making double-decker warships with minifig deck heights is a challenge, and it's pretty much impossible on triple-decker prefabs. Congrats and good idea to name a ship after her! Quote
