While it may be considered common knowledge that OL and ESL are active on Terraversa, those expeditions outside the reach of normal trade and travel would not IC makes sense to be known apart from their original orders/plans. How did the KPA get the information then? I was under the impression that the KPA is an "IC newsletter", accessible to the minifigs in the area covered by the MRCA map. So since it showed up in there... you get my point? Quote It will somewhat break the aMRCA format if everything is considered IC knowledge, so put in an IC filter - does it make sense that something is known. I agree, it does not add up with this turns KPA though. Quote Hence, your expedition will only be known to have sailed north, I guess. :) Disappointing.

I get your point, hence the limbo. But the KPA serves a double purpose, as it is also meant to showcase all our interesting stories in the brick seas OOC. We can consider in the future releases only to show information about the AMRCAs in the KPA that would be "widely" known, and then have people go to the adventure if they want more, but I am afraid it will dilute the stories too much to be fun reading? We will see what we can do. 57 minutes ago, Drunknok said: Disappointing. That you won't be able to meta game your way out of the AMRCA challenge? ;) I think we did discuss this - you have two ships - why not repair one and send it back, if you need homebase to get information and react on it?

Seems that the WTC tries to attack every sailing thing with little success... I had three skirmish with them this MRCA turn, with three ships of mine each showing a 0 gun and 0 crew versus numerous WTC drifter and I barely won the three hard luck for the WTC ! what if a whale wins a showdown with the WTC ? should she enter a port with ships in tow and licence them ?

Quote We can consider in the future releases only to show information about the AMRCAs in the KPA that would be "widely" known, and then have people go to the adventure if they want more, but I am afraid it will dilute the stories too much to be fun reading? We will see what we can do. I think it would be a matter of phrasing. Things like my expedition could be explained as "we heard rumours about ..., could it mean ...?" - keeping it ambiguous enough to not confirm anything, but still mentioning it in some form. Quote That you won't be able to meta game your way out of the AMRCA challenge? ;) Depends on your point of view I guess. If these news were considered "public knowledge", the WTC would of course have a big interest to send support to its mission as quickly as possible. So it would make a lot of sense to send a ship their way right now. I merely reacted on an idea following from the information as it was presented. No need to insinuate anything. Quote I think we did discuss this - you have two ships - why not repair one and send it back, if you need homebase to get information and react on it? That would be one solution :) It is most likely the option I will choose - the KPA seemed to open another door though. One that has quickly been closed again. 43 minutes ago, Bodi said: And our settlement is being attacked by WTC invaders, what a scandal! Do not believe the filthy lies of the KPA. Apart from that: only an Olander could call a single rowboat an "invader" - especially after blowing it out of the waters with the firepower of a fully operational battlestation small and large fort! If Oleon wishes to formally protest though: the WTC in Mesabi Landing is the right address. 20 minutes ago, Professor Thaum said: Seems that the WTC tries to attack every sailing thing with little success... what if a whale wins a showdown with the WTC ? should she enter a port with ships in tow and licence them ?

I really think you - Oleon leadership that is - should look at this months results and ask yourself what is important. One small rowboat that was sunk by Fatu Hiva with ne damage done, or a succesful raid on Acropolis with actual losses for you. 1 hour ago, Bodi said: Thank you to remind me that, it's time to pay a visit to the Mesabi land.
