Capn Frank Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 By March we will all be geniuses regarding MCRAs! Great! Then, we'll have at least one expert on MRCAs! Quote
Captain Dee Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Great! Then, we'll have at least one expert on MRCAs! Is it just me, or does the arrangement of those letters put a greater emphasis on Raiding than Commerce? Quote
blackdeathgr Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Is it just me, or does the arrangement of those letters put a greater emphasis on Raiding than Commerce? Indeed!!! It is MRCA! I will remember YMCA next time Quote
SkaForHire Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Is it just me, or does the arrangement of those letters put a greater emphasis on Raiding than Commerce? To be perfectly honest, it originally was just a raiding system, but we had to entice the traders to play somehow... Quote
Mr. Townsend Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Where is the main post for the MCRA showing the deadline for January? I assumed it wouldn't start until February since I never saw that thread bumped. Can that be pinned? Quote
SkaForHire Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Where is the main post for the MCRA showing the deadline for January? I assumed it wouldn't start until February since I never saw that thread bumped. Can that be pinned? There was a general resistance to pinning more topics, so it was included in the Index, it is a locked thread, so it would not be bumped. However, if it is just a MRCA form that you need to fill out, we will accept them a little late, I can't start calculating everything until the 2nd or 3rd anyway, and I have to go through all of the licenses first before I even get to the MRCA, so there is some leeway this month if you need to get the MRCA form in.

We are doing a 9-11-10 trade route+escorting atm if you like Mr Townsend. Feel free to join us or chose another route altogether. We have a spare warship (HRS Eltina - in Lebellan) to escort you.

Sparhawk Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Greetings, I would like to introduce my character and to pledge his allegiance to the Empire of Oleon. I am new to MOCing, but have been a Lego enthusiast for a long time. Please bear with me as I learn new building styles as well as how the game is played, I am also learning how to use the site and spent an hour just figuring out how to post a photo (so be ready for dumb questions). I hope to participate fully, but I have a young kid and might not have as much time as I like for building. So without further a due - here is Sparhawk - "a man with a secret" image by Sparhawk-1, on Flickr I have MOCed a hopefully interesting pre-story for Sparhawk, but was not sure if I should post it here or as a free build in the main forum. Quote
blackdeathgr Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Hi Sparhawk and welcome to the grand nation of Oleon! Secrets are what make people (sigfigs that is) interesting! You will learn a lot here by merely observing and reading our always constructive criticism (and stabbing at each other's backs). But ofc we are waiting of you to show your fierce nature, as "people" around here, regard us as warmongering torturing guys THAT I ASSURE YOU WE AREN'T! Feel free to build at your own pace especially since family always comes first (Adam Sandler anyone?) Also don't hesitate to ask us Oleanders whatever you want, here, in our respective thread, or anything in general, in BoBS main discussion thread . Regarding your intro build, you can post it as a separate thread if you like. Quote
Sir Stig Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Sparhawk: That's a bad bad (tight swear filter on EB) sigfig. Looking forward to read his story. Quote
Bregir Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Welcome Sparhawk - Good to see you join! I shall let you know that there is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers! (Which you are likely to see plenty of in these forums. It is sort of our thing! ) As to your intro build, I would definitely suggest posting it as a freebuild in the main forum of Brethren of the Brick Seas. (Register it as a freebuild with the freebuild form and post a link in the freebuild registration thread too) Many also post a link in their faction threads, but that is only for "marketing purposes", really. Your story sounds very interesting, and no matter the pace at which it progresses, it shall be interesting to follow! Quote
Sparhawk Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks for the warm welcome guys! How do I post a link... I just put up my intro, but am not sure how to link to it, thanks. Quote
Bregir Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 You can just copy paste the link like so: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=120678 Alternatively, you can use the small button (like a chain with a plus, just below where it says "size") on the editor. If you mark a piece of text and then press that button, you can make it link to something like so. Quote
Gideon Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Here is my first freebuild for February, which I also will license as a small residence in Breshaun on LeBellan as soon as I figure out how the EGS work (I'm not sure if we're supposed to do it here, but in GoH we generally post thumbnails of our builds in the faction main threads and I'd like to push my fellow Oleanders to step up the pace of the freebuilding!) Quote
Capn Frank Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks for the warm welcome guys! How do I post a link... I just put up my intro, but am not sure how to link to it, thanks. You could post the following text in the Monthly Free Build Registration Thread (Period ends Feb 1st): [url=http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=120676]The story of Sparhawk[/url] | Sparhawk | Oleon [url=http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=120678]The Crabby Cyclops[/url] | Sparhawk | Oleon Please do so as-soon-as-possible for your builds to get included in the January free builds. (I'm not sure if we're supposed to do it here, but in GoH we generally post thumbnails of our builds in the faction main threads ...) There will be topics started in the next few days by blackdeathgr where individuals who have licensed buildings in that settlement can share their builds. Quote

I assume that a build posted today can be posted in the coming February thread? Quote
Garmadon Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Coming? (It should hopefully replace January's as the pinned registration thread soon) Quote
blackdeathgr Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Dear Oleanders, check our Breshaun and Eltina threads! Anyone that is interested in posting a building there (in order for the settlements to grow), can do so. Comments are always accepted. Happy building! Quote
blackdeathgr Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 @Gideon: you can always post your property at each settlement's respective thread :-) @MRCA participants: Great fear looms above us all...! There are many ominous signs...sob... Quote
Captain Genaro Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 My first freebuild of the month is up. @Sparhawk: Welcome aboard! It's always nice to see new faces, and I'm sure you'll find us a welcome refuge from the pirate prison you've just recently escaped. @Mr. Townsend: Hopefully you can join in the February MCRA. It's pretty lonely being the only Oleander on the seas. Quote
Mr. Townsend Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I apologize for leaving you alone in the seas Capt. Genaro, though how much company the Gee Golly Dandy would be I'm not quite sure. I had started an 8 gun lugger that I wanted to get into the January MCRA, but I packed up my LEGO a tad early for a move across country in expecting to make this month. Hopefully I'll have a shipyard going by mid March or April. Quote
blackdeathgr Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Hurry master ship...anything-builder! We are underprotected and we DON'T MAKE MONEY!!! Quote
Maxim I Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Index related stuff: I named your 3rd Warship the "Mother of Fregates" :p The reason is because Captain Greenhair took his fregate with him to the BOBS lay-out and it fits in the Class 5 Heavy A :) There are also 2 class 1 ships for sale! Quote

When buying these two ships, are they already licensed? Quote
Maxim I Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 When buying these two ships, are they already licensed? Nope, they are just the MOC you are buying :) so as it are rather small ships, the price won't be too high considering you have to buy a licence as well :) Quote
