TribunM Posted February 21, 2023 Thank you lads for the nice welcome! 21 hours ago, Ross Fisher said: Welcome @TribunM! Dragoons are a great choice! I don't think we have a character dedicated to that line of work and it'll be great to see what Louis gets up to. Well, I intend to use this figure only sporadically for military. Actually I don't know yet, it will develop. He's got a brother for military purposes.^^ It is my understanding for the encyclopedia that there are no cuirassiers as of now. Question 1: there is no need to apply in any way? Question 2: is there some kind of fraction communication channel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff of Clubs Posted February 21, 2023 1.) Nope. Build away! The only restriction is to not name your character above the rank of Major, as higher ranks must be signed off on by the state. 2.) Yes but we are having some technical issues. We are getting it sorted but in the meantime, there is a discord that @evancelt can bring you into. As it stands, we are at war and you're welcome to throw in if you want. If so, due to the faction chat issue, pm me and/or CapOnBOBS and we will get you into the action. Don't worry. There's more to bobs and Oleon than war. It's just where we are these days. If you follow a couple editions of the King's Port Advertiser in the main forum, it will get you up to speed on immediate events. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's one of several reasons why the Wayfarer Trade Company is barred from owning property in any Oleonaise ports under my purview. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the reasons Nelson was so popular in his own time is that every time he won a victory, he spent loads of his own money on publishing pamphlets and distributing them to the public. 1 hour ago, Captain Genaro said: Congratulations @Ross Fisher for this well deserved recognition of your efforts.

RocketRacer42 Posted December 6, 2023 This is Lt. Nicholas LaChene. He grew up on a small farm in the country. As soon as he was old enough, though, he ran away from home and join the Oleon navy. Since then he has risen in the ranks and was recently given command of a single ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yperio_Bricks Posted December 6, 2023 Welcome to the party @RocketRacer42 You may notice that there is reduced activity at the moment. BotBS is in the process of transitioning into an new era and while the leadership is working hard in the background, most players are taking a pause i guess.

Captain Genaro Posted December 7, 2023 Welcome RocketRacer. It's always nice to see new recruits (especially those loyal to Oleon!) As others have mentioned, BOBS is currently getting ready for Era III, and I wouldn't worry too much about trying to focus on the current rules until Era III is released. That said, if you do have any questions or need help getting started, please don't hesitate to reach out. Welcome RocketRacer. It's always nice to see new recruits (especially those loyal to Oleon!)

Jeff of Clubs Posted December 13, 2023 @RocketRacer42, I'll rattle some cages but as has been stated, BoBS itself is in transition, so there isn't likely to be much activety there for a few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
