Last month, the dastardly "Bloodsucker," captained by Whoknowswho and flying the flag of Carno, forced the HMS Bullshark to surrender. This act of aggression has proved very concerning to Corrington, and it has determined that it will not permit its shipping to be threatened in this manner with impunity!

Carno has been willing to allow Corrington to bring the case to its courts where it will decide whether or not it acted rightly in giving Captain Whoknowswho a valid Letter of Marque to attack Corrington.

So we're calling for volunteers for a build off to decide the case.

  • Three volunteers for each side (Carno and Corrington).
  • To volunteer, apply in this topic and state which side you'd like to help.
  • Each volunteer will have to build one MOC.
  • 20x20 limit on MOC size, with a minimal overhang.
  • Deadline is June 5th.
  • Any BoBS member can volunteer for Carno, except Corries.
  • Only Corries can volunteer for Corrington.
  • Each team must incorporate the following four themes at least once in their total of three builds: the jury, Queen Annette, Captain Whoknowswho, and pine trees.
  • Once the teams are determined, a PM thread will be set up for each team.
  • Builds must be posted in their own thread and linked to below.
  • All builds will earn 10 DBs (but will not count as free builds).
  • If Carno wins, Carno volunteers will receive 50 DBs in addition to the 10 DBs for building.
  • If Corrington wins, the Corrington crown is left to its own discretion whether or not to offer a bonus to its volunteers.
  • Building may commence immediately, but waiting to confer with your fellow builders might be advantagous.
  • After the 27th, a voting thread will be set up. All EB members will be invited to determine (based on the MOCs) which side deserves to win this case.
  • If Corrington wins, the ship will be restored to the crown. If Carno wins, the ship will remain with Captain Whoknowswho.

So... who's up for a challenge? Throw down the gauntlet and let's get bricking!

I'd love to participate, but my time is so limited and I'm already involved in the guild creation category for the summer joust contest, so I'll pass this on. This time only.

Could the deadline be moved to a later date?

Having just a week is a bit short really.

The previous build-off had a couple of weeks time, no?

Yes; the problem is that Corrington might not be interested in having to wait until next month's MRCA to be able to (potentially) use its ship.

If Corrington officially asks for a longer deadline, that can easily be changed.

The previous build off started much earlier in the month, so it was easy to give it a longer deadline and still have time for voting.

Kai, Consider this our official request for a longer deadline. We can wait until next month to have it returned.

I volunteer for Corrington.

Just because you Eslandolians like gold doesn't mean you can swipe every "g" you come across. :pir-laugh::pir-grin::pir-wink:

Objection. We also like silver. And cupper.

pirate_hmpfbad.gif Do you know how many times I had to type out Corrington in that whole post? One slip and I get called on it. default_hmpf.gifdefault_tong.gif JK.

@Titus, so it's Orrinton now?

MCTC likes iron.

In service of the Crown, I hereby declare my participation for Corrington.

A letter of marque against our shipping is entirely unacceptable, and will not be tolerated!

For Queen, Parliament and Science!

Yes! Time for an official renaming-ceremony!

Alright, I'll bite the bullet and sign up for Carno! And I'm glad we finally get to be on the same side, JN! pirate_laugh_new.gif

I'll get a PM started for the Carno side in just a minute! pirate_classic.gif

Third part of Corrington's entry: "In her Majesty's Diplomatic Service"

May the best team win!

PS: Our titles appear to be too long. Can someone take out the "Part .... " part out of the end of our titles and add the number to the first part like so:

[COR vs CAR I] "Protecting her Majesty's Honour"

for Puvel's build and like so:

[COR vs CAR III] "In her Majesty's Diplomatic Service"

for mine?
