Savage_opress Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Jasper Soares is a lone ranger, with a rebellious and warm heart, he has a free mind, and doesn't accept all the the lies imposed by the King and Queen. That was the reason for leaving and wander on the sea. He does not have an haircut in a few months and his hair has more sand than a whole archipelago. He believes that it's time to stop all these lies and fake society and thinks that the time to act has come. He is a man without a compass, he goes wherever the wind blows. This was the introduction of my character, hope you have liked xd. I was wondering if any of you could please give me some directions on the first steps here. Thank you!! Quote
Kwatchi Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Nice minifg! Welcome aboard Captain Soares. If you are looking to get into the game systems, rather than just building, the next steps unfortunately involve a bit of homework/reading. I'd start with these two rule posts: Economic Game System <- explains the currency you'll be earning. Don't worry about the taxation or trade company stuff. Monthly Raiding and Commerce Action <- the real spirit of BoBs that keeps all of us breaking our F5 keys at the start of the month waiting to see how we did. :) After reading those, I'd suggest you build your first (and free of cost) class 2 ship. What type you make will depend on what you plan to do. Class A (armed class) is good more convoy escort or piracy; class T (trade) and F (fast) is for convoy trade in order to make oodles of Dbs; class WR (well rounded) is a jack of all trades/master of none. Regardless of what you build, it probably be a good idea to join a Sea Rat convoy for your first MCRA in order to get your "feet wet" and generate some funds, before branching out on your own. When ship building, take note of the # of cannons on the chart (i.e. 'G') in the MCRA thread as this tends to be the determining factor in identifying your ship class and type. Though the 4 cannons per G rating is not set in stone and you can +- 2 per G without much issue tbh. If you are looking for examples/inspiration for the purpose of your build size, Maxim spends an inordinate amount of his free time keeping up a directory of ships. I expect one the pirate faction leaders will invite you to the super secret discussion topics within the the next few days. Happy building! Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Welcome in BoBS captain Soares. I am hoping you will not try to steal my apple loads, or worst... My cider ! :D Quote
Capn Frank Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Welcome aboard Savage Opress. I was wondering if any of you could please give me some directions on the first steps here. Thank you!! Your account has been created. You may view your available funds anytime in the live monthly account summary in the Account Summary Topic. Many things have a license cost for active ships and properties that generate monthly yield. As Kwatchi said, your first Class 2 vessel is free. Also, your first small property license is free for a plantation, artisan, commerce, factory, education, or cultural property. Quote
Savage_opress Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Thank you all very much, I have given a read to all the liks provided a couple of times to consolidate the rules, I also have my first free build on the way, I just need to get a few more figures and take the photos. Quote
Rconn0 Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) This is Captain James Rulthorpe a daring smuggler and adventurer who isn't afraid to bend/totally break any laws powerful empires make. Whether raiding a Eslandola merchant ship or running a Corrington fleet, Captain James is always at home on the seas. Now he wishes to join the ragtag ranks of the sea rats in hope of even more wealth and fame. Here he is striking a bargain with a merchant in need of his "talents". Just a quick question when is the deadline for signing up for the MRCA? Thanks. Edited June 10, 2016 by Rconn0 Quote
Darkdragon Posted June 10, 2016 Author Posted June 10, 2016 Just a quick question when is the deadline for signing up for the MRCA? Thanks. You have to fill out the form by the end of June 30. You'll need your ship built and ship thread posted to fill the form out. Quote
Bregir Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Welcome to both captain Soares and Rulthorpe. May the Brick Seas bring you many a fortune! (And you are of course always welcome to ask, should anything be confusing! :) ) Quote
Jacob Nion Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Sea Rats are having the high ground :) Welcome both of you. Great fig Savage. Love that hair choice. Is that hair piece from the friends line? Quote
Savage_opress Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Welcome both of you. Great fig Savage. Love that hair choice. Is that hair piece from the friends line? No it is not, it is though from the Batman V Superman set, from the new Wonder Woman minifigure. I am in general in love with this hairpiece, never had found such a similar air to mine in a LEGO form Quote
dr_spock Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Welcome aboard Captain James. Nice hair Jasper. Quote
Guest Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Name:Arrow Age:24 Profession: Smuggler The man Nicknamed "Arrow" (Ukah-kamuta-na-ta-ta-fi-ra-ra is his actual name) Came from a Island quite treacherous and filled with islanders. After the death of the king in their clan "Arrow" was next in line to become Chief ,but although you may deserve something in life some people can still be jealous and this is what caused his brother to betray him by besmirching the sacred totem whilst "Arrow" was meant to be on guard and he was unjustly exiled from their lands. As Arrow was leaving, all he was given was a bottle of water and a canoe, yet his brother did not want any chance of the truth coming out so as "Arrow" left port he fired an arrow hoping it would sink the boat , fortunately for "Arrow", his leg stopped the arrow from hitting the canoe but I dont think he felt fortunate at the time. No one truly knows his name... mostly because he does not speak English that is. Most people just call him "Arrow" as when he arrived in port he had a arrow sticking out of his leg he now bears the feather from that arrow as a reminder of the people who saved his life.

Garmadon Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Welcome to the Brick Seas, SodorBricks! Neat sig-fig, very nice backstory, and stupendous name (the actual one, especially)! Looking forward to seeing Arrow's adventures! Quote
Kwatchi Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Nice intro SodorBricks. I look forward to Arrow's adventures amongst the somewhat civilized community of the Sea Rats. I'm sure one of the SR council will happen by at some point and invite you into the "super secret discussions thread tm". For some odd reason, your sigfig's true name reminded me of this somewhat obscure movie scene Quote

Ulric Brickenheim Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Welcome to the sea rats, may good fortune follow your steps. Quote
Maxim I Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Welcome to the sea rats, may good fortune follow your steps. Except if Good Fortune is the name of an hostile vessel :D Quote
