Mesabi Posted March 8, 2017 Have we decided who we are supporting for Challenge V? I'm assuming ESL, but I want to clarify, before I start posting my Challenge builds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWolf Posted March 8, 2017 It has been left up to each individual builder who they will support. Of course you can always be like me and do a build for both sides even though my character supports only the one side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzy MacFuzz Posted March 19, 2017 The return of Hawksbrugh? Hello noble Corringtonians. I have been away for a long time...since July in fact! My creative life got taken over by decorating my house, from top to bottom, and my new hobby with the family, cycling. But the house is done, and I am thinking about redirecting my creative energies to BoBS. I am trying to work out a story to get Hawksbrugh back in the game, and to explain where he has been for the last eight months. And I have a couple of builds in the pipeline. If and when I do return, I need to be more aware of all else that is going on in my life and not over commit to BoBS which I did last time. Anyway, it would really help me if someone could share the proper BoBS web address with me, as I can currently only access it via eurobricks, and the interface is quite awkward. Also, if anyone is feeling generous, maybe they could do a couple of hundred words summarising all that has happened with Corrington and ECTC recently? Something about a war between Garvey and Eslandola? What are the best recent builds? Has Hawksbrugh grown rich in his absence? And what have you all been up to? I have a day off work tomorrow so will devote the day to catching up and some building. For Corrington and the Queen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted March 19, 2017 Fuzzy!!! You're back!!! In September EB had a major upgrade, which might explain the awkward interface you mentioned (some people had technical issues afterward - shoot, I couldn't reply or post anything for 4+ months...) but BoBS has always only been accessible through EB as far as I know: it's a part of EB. I can't update you on the current happenings right now, but I saw your avatar and had to check it out. There's a conversation in the faction pm regarding a forthcoming investment that I believe you'll want to participate in. Good to see you back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted March 19, 2017 1 hour ago, Fuzzy MacFuzz said: The return of Hawksbrugh? *cue dramatic music* A long time ago, in an ocean far far away, peace had long reigned supreme. (BoBS: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/177-brethren-of-the-brick-seas/) It was not a perfect peace, and privateering was on the rise, rumours spreading of rich treasure fleets bringing home colonial riches. Many were taken, and many others beat off their attackers in bloody fights, as tension was rising throughout the lands. (Challenge IV) However, the Empire (Mardier) was marred by civil war, and in these conflicts, against the rebels, or freedom fighters, innocents fell victim. Some of these innocents were Eslandian sailors, which led to a declaration of war and retribution from Eslandola, a nation itself undergoing significant change, the trade companies overthrowing the King, relegating him to a merely symbolic role. In the course of this war, Eslandola invaded Isla de Medio and settled on the south. This operation further revealed a massive, previously unknown, colonial Mardierien presence, escalating the conflict further. To counter these developments, Eslandola brought in a new ally, the small but warlike nation of Garvey, and together, they are now conducting offensive operations against Mardier. (Challenge V) Amidst this chaos, the nation of Corrington stands concerned. The actions of it's historic friend and ally Eslandola has not gone unnoticed, although Corrington has managed to maintain neutrality. At the same time, relations with a historic enemy, Oleon, have warmed somewhat, but has yet to materialise in any concrete form. The Royal Navy is still a powerful force, but Corlander shipyards have not been able to keep up with the great ressources available to their competitors in Oleon and Eslandola, and some admirals are concerned. The merchant fleet suffers a similar fate. Likewise, the colonies of Corrington are not developing as fast as their counterparts, and in the great race for riches, Corrington is falling behind... However, the ETTC has not suffered, and is as rich as it ever was, bringing great wealth to its shareholders. Construction of a royal cocoa factory is progressing, albeit slowly, but the company is still in need of a proper headquarter from which to lead its efforts. How will the return of mr. Hawksbrugh impact the future of the nation?.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzy MacFuzz Posted March 19, 2017 Thanks for the very helpful advice guys. I think my technical issue is simply the Eurobricks upgrade so everything looks different here, I just need to get used to it. I have read Bregir's update thoroughly, it all seems clear enough. Except that back in July Corrington was no.1 nation; what happened? I guess people like me stopped pulling their weight! It will take me a few days to get back into everthing, but i have already started some building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bregir Posted May 9, 2017 Dear citizens of Corrington, As many have probably noted, the taxation schemes for New Terra are changing, and revenues formerly going into colonial coffers are now retained in Halos. (OOC: No more free 20% tax for factions, and no licensing kickback) However, as the colonial coffers are currently overflowing, we suggest no additional taxes be levied on our citizens, companies, or organisations. In return we ask all loyal Corlanders to be prepared for increased, temporary taxation, should the economic, military, or diplomatic situation change to necessitate further expenditures. Should this lead to any questions or comments, the ministry of the colonies is at your service. Rear Admiral Fletcher, New Terran Command, Royal Navy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stig Posted May 19, 2017 I have to congratulate you with coming up with the idea of making Myzectlan into a settlement. You have my attention. If I ever feel like building in that style, I now know where it would fit. Clever. Very clever. Not envious at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
