Professor Thaum Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Letter to Eslandolan Authorities ( @Capt Wolf ) December 618 the 2nd, on our way heading to Trador several miles south of Fuerte Unido. We crossed way with a small skiff looking like a jury-rigged catamaran flying Corrington and WTC colours. As its path was not obvious, we thought it was probably lost at sea and decide to tack straight to it. The skiff, crippled, tack many times, probably trying to maneuver, and we heard a loud "BANG" with lot of smoke coming from the skiff We interpreted this as a distress signal so the Eagle come close the skiff while the Vic Viper started to circle around looking for remains after a shipwreck, and possible shipwrecked. As the Eagle closed to the catamaran, we saw 3 men on board that seemed to be very bewildered, perhaps because of deshydration. The last shreds of doubt vanished when one of those men shout "on board" and tried to come onboard the Eagle. We rescued the 3 men, and offered them enough water to snap out of it while the Vic Viper, came empty-handed from its searching journey, towed the skiff. The 3 men remained very lively and sometimes spoiled the drill and we had no choice to put them down in the hold when one of them (no doubt he is a corrish true patriot) climb the mast and tried to heave a corrish flag he had rounded as a belt around his hips. Despite we have them helped with fresh water and food, they stay pretty bewildered for the rest of the trip. As we do not have any skills in shaked up people treatment, the 3 men and their skiff were released at the harbour of Trador free to sail if they want to. Please could you inform the WTC ( @Drunknok @Mesabi ) and the Corrish board ( @Bregir @Ayrlego ) that they were rescued with strict respect of naval laws and disembarked with 3 day full supply (food and water) We join to this letter the exact coordinates where we found the skiff, in care of Corrish admiralty to organize the search operation if some ship are missing. We recommand to the watch of Trador to keep an eye upon those 3 still disoriented men in case of they decided to board a ship in the harbour or even raid the whole city of their little 3 selves Kind regards P.

Professor Thaum Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) I forgot to inform @Maxim I who is in charge for Trador in the previous message... That's corrected Edited December 19, 2018 by Professor Thaum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to avoid any confusion: you let the WTC Bully Boy I sail under my control from next turn again, without asking for anything. Correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darnok Posted December 21, 2018 19 minutes ago, Professor Thaum said: Correct ! Nice. Thank you. May I ask why? I think either @Capt Wolf or @Legostone will have to manually change ownership of the ship ("WTC Bully Boy I") back to me then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's supposed to be, but it's easy to miss ships for this list. If there is a ship you think is missing from the list, or that shouldn't be on it, let me know.

I wonder about the WTC Bully Boy I and all other ships that were involved in the action with the Vic Viper and The Eagle (from @Professor Thaum). One side attacked the other while none was blackflagged (as far as I know), so this should raise some Black Flags, or not? By the way: is there an easy way to look at past tMRCA orders of your own?

If he were to state he was attacked, then they would be marked as black flags. Basically, you owe Prof Thaum at least a drink! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darnok Posted January 2, 2019 A clarification of the BF rules might be a good thing then, because this current process is not stated in the rules at any point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darnok Posted January 2, 2019 To be frank: I did not expect the case of my ships to be ambiguous. You have the data on what orders were given and who attacked whom - based on that I thought the result would be clear and well defined. I assumed from the beginning that my ships would sail under the Black Flag now, I just wondered why they did not show up in the list. And I can no longer find the small black skull that previously indicated the BF status of ships in the account summary sheet anymore. Has it been removed on purpose?

Darnok Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) 5th day of the 1st month, 619 Mesabi Landing To the captains of the Vic Viper and The Eagle, currently docking in Trador. it has come to my attention how you have treated one of the ships and its crew sailing under the WTCs flag. Your behaviour can not be described as anything but honourable and gracious. We wish to thank you for that, and as a sign of our gratitude will offer both of your ships preferred treatment and celebrations the next time you sail to Mesabi Landing. With kind regards and the thanks of the Wayfarer Trading Company, Kadeus Mordo, Executive of Foreign Affairs @Professor Thaum This offer stands for an unlimited amount of time, until either the Vic Viper or The Eagle have been in Mesabi Landing. Their "port tax" will then by default be a "11" (i.e. 50DB per ship on top of whatever they gain in trading). You can choose to pick "8" instead (essentially a free small residence for a settlement of your choice). Edited January 7, 2019 by Drunknok Fixing typos.

The HMS Badger (currently held in Lavalette, I believe) is no longer in the Corrington fleet list, so I can't help you, but I think you should be able to see it in the SR list?
