Challenge Four – The First Treasure Fleet - RESULTS POSTED!

Recommended Posts

Challenge Four – The First Treasure Fleet.
Eslandola’s prize of New Terra, Nelisa has yielded many wonderful treasures for the economy of its parent nation. However, not much of gold and silver found on the island have been moved to the Old World yet. The King has decided to fill his coffers once more with the riches of his new colonies, and with cooperation from the great trade companies, they plan on moving a large portion of the treasure in a convoy from Nelisa to Terreli. Unfortunately some suspicious characters let loose the secret, and now the whole world is descending down upon the Sea of Storms waiting to take a shot at the convoy and its riches.

Due Date: September 25 October 2nd, anywhere in the world

Category A: Loose lips sinks ships
In this category the builders are going to demonstrate how the secret of Eslandolan treasure fleet was leaked. Be creative, was it a spy? A pay-off? The King himself? Many rumors are floating around, illustrate one of them! The size limitation here is 32x32 with limited overhang.
The winner of this challenge will have the right to set up a small settlement on an island their faction controls, and appoint a mayor character under their control (it can be your sig fig if you would like). They will also earn the title: Secret seller of New Terra.

Category B: Plunder!
In this category, builders will illustrate the plundering of the treasure fleet, or if they are allied to Eslandola (maybe they own a letter of marque?) or Eslandolan, they will depict the defense of the fleet. You don’t have to depict the whole fleet, one ship verses another works, or even a ship coming under internal threat would work here as well. If you don’t want to illustrate this with ship mocs, perhaps your men and women may be plundering the treasure fleet from the docks before it even gets off the boat in Terrelli? Anything goes, as long as the treasure fleet is being plundered or protected. The size limitation in generous, but overall all of the pieces of the MOC, when displayed, should fit within a 80x48 stud rectangle.
The winning entry will earn its builder the title: Plunderer of the Great Golden Fleet, or Defender of the Great Golden Fleet.
The winning nation will be able to use their new found treasure to invest in further discovery and will obtain one island and name it.

What if the winner of Category A is already a mayor of a town? Based on the rules they can only be mayor of one location.

Then you get to "promote" another character of yours to the mayoral status of this second colony if i remember correctly.

Hello all, I have a little clarification question: For category B, we must create a MoC depicting "the Plundering" of the Treasure fleet, but must the vessel plundering the fleet belong to our faction? Specifically, could I depict a non-Oleon affiliated pirate vessel performing the plundering? Not sure if this was discussed before. :blush:

No worries! I am certain you can do as you suggest. The text says that as long as you show the fleet being plundered or protected, anything goes.

I would stay away from incriminating anyone by for instance stating that it is specifically a sea rat pirate, but there are multiple non-aligned pirates roaming the brick seas!

An exception of that rule will be made for this competition. Mayorships won in this competition won't count towards your current limit of one.

Can we get a few more days, maybe until the 30th of September? I think many of use could use a few days extra...

We're extending this competition until October 2 so we have the weekend after to polish off the MOCs.
