Got a few more questions (everyday I think of something new to ask!)...  I claimed my free ship license, how long does it usually take for it to show in the ship license entry email and does it eventually get added to the list of ships in the Corrington thread? How long does it take before I can see my current DB amount in the accounts spreadsheet? Thanks again, you have all been so helpful!

I'll mention it in the account topic and get your account set up.

When mine was set up a few weeks back it was on the summary by the end of the week.

Ok, awesome! @Bregir mentioned me in the account topic to @Phred, so it shouldn't be to long. Thank you!

To: Rear Admiral Fletcher, Commander-in-Chief, Royal Terra Novan Navy

From: Captain Silas Pike, Charlatan Bay Naval Escort Peregrine

Dear Sir

I have to instructed by the mayoralty of Charlatan Bay to declare an immediate ceasefire with your nation as of Jan 6, '618.  

Cordially yours,

Captain Silas Pike

===/===/===

OOC

Gulagurag and myself are declaring the following going forward (note that this is a declaration and not a negotiation):

1. The navy and forces of Charlatan Bay and the FTA will not target any COR assets in the MRCA.

2.The port of Charlatan Bay is closed to all COR traffic.  In fact it was already closed, but the Sulky Harlequin ignored that.  I had planned to seize it as part a 'customs inspection" story, but I am not bothering any more so it can sail away free.  Any further traffic will be seized and sold immediately at the prize court so that it can be sister-shipped.  Of course we expect this to go in both directions, so we will not visit any COR ports deliberately and any ship arriving in one of your ports by accident can also be seized and sold.

3. Any COR properties in Charlatan Bay remain with the owners and will operate unhindered.  We expect the same courtesy.

4. On the off chance we find a COR vessel in our possession through some other way, we will immediately sell it to the prize court.  The opposite is expected to hold true.

5. We will not bid on any COR ship at auction, and expect vice versa.

6. If any interaction with COR occurs somehow, we will simply reference it as an unknown nation.  We will not reference COR in any way (direct or implied) and we expect the same.

7. We consider zone 24 a cease fire zone.  We expect no COR ship targeting a SR to sail in that zone.

8. Neither of us wish to collaborate or interact publicly any further with COR as a faction at this point.  Any posts responding to ours will be ignored.  Continued breaching of this will force us to put the offenders on ignore (which I'd rather not do).

9. Consider us in "time out". This will hold for the entirety of ERA 2, or until both parties agree otherwise.

 

I do not speak for any other SR on this matter.  I am sorry it came to this, but I want to enjoy BoBS again.

So are we still expected to abide by these terms?

More questions!  Free builds are models that I build and help advance my story with but don't license, but I can license later, correct? Thanks again!

 

[gedren_y]

All builds not part of a challenge are freebuilds, even your ships. Filing the webform gives you DBs.

Awesome! That's what I figured, I just wanted to make sure! Thanks for the help!

[SilentWolf]

@LM71Blackbird I wanted to point out a couple things in case you didn't know but am going to do it all here, instead of on the respective threads.

The easiest way to find any form is in the Master Index that is pinned. I looked at the January 2018 account summary linked in the Master Index and see that you have received your 25dbs for signing up. I also see that you have received a gift of 50 dbs from some generous soul (not myself). However, I am not seeing any build submittals yet so I recommend that you submit your HMS Barracuda thread. Each build you do can be submitted using the Build Submittal and you get 10 free dbs for the first 2 builds each month and less for the following ones. Also I should mention that you also receive a free small property license so you are able to license a property to start you on earning income if you wish to.

I been checking out the master index quite a lot recently. I wrote about the 25DBs last night and I see them now. @Drunknok was kind enough to loan me some DBs and offer me land in Mesabi Landing. I'll submit the HMS Barracuda immediately. Thanks again for all the help! It's a lot to take in but so far it's been pretty fun!

Correct, but licensing really doesn't enter into a build's status as a free build. gedren_y answered perfectly in that respect:

Licensing is just a next step of what you can do with your build. You could license it immediately, or wait days or weeks or months, or not license it at all.

Ok...  Slowly, but surely I'm getting the hang of BoBs... Thanks so much for all the help!

[SilentWolf]

One of the nice things about BoBS is you can build whatever you want, then get help knowing how to license it etc. People here are always willing to help. 

[Darnok]

One short word of warning though, since I learned it the hard way: no more than three land properties can be licensed per month. Most of the time that is more than enough.

Cool! I've got lots of ideas, so it is just a matter of finding the time to build!

Thank you for letting me know that! I wouldn't have know that if you didn't mention it.

@LM71Blackbird: You can check your accounts status in this summary sheet - there is a new one each month, which will always get announced in the Account Summary thread. And please consider those DB a donation, not a loan.

Yeah, I've been checking out a lot of the info, it's just a lot to take in! And thanks for the donation and the ability to build in mesabi landing!

A new building initiative for the Royal Navy:

Sir Dee has finally opened his cannon foundry in King's Harbour:

Huzzah, revamped Sir Dee has entered the stage - with a shiny new cannon and a shiny new moustache! 

Is that cannon mold - and that rather devious grin - a hint at you becoming a weapon producing business tycoon? 

What on earth gave you that ridiculous idea? 

Actually that's exactly what I had planned. Yah-hahaha!!

Sir Dee has returned with a new business opportunity! Guns, guns for all!

Yes, the more the merrier!!   Well, if you're a Corry, that is.  "Blues" get charged double (since we're sworn enemies)  , "Greenies" get charged triple (just because they can afford it)  , and if you fly the Jolly Roger, well, we might need some, how you say, "creative accounting" so come prepared.

Juan Alfonso Fontonajo seems to have found some
stairs on Celestia. Stay tuned to find out more.

 

Celestia has some of the clearest water in its mountainous jungles.
The heat makes forces even the largest cats to take a drink from
time to time...

[Elostirion]

Climbing those stairs will
not be an easy task...

[Bregir]

The Fontonajos are teasing us! I cannot wait to see what he finds! Looks great and some very nice and dramatic shots, Elos!

[Ayrlego]

You can tell from the teasers that it’s  going to be epic!
