[POLL] The Next BIG LEGO Pirates Contest

[[POLL] The Next BIG LEGO Pirates Contest]

This is a very good idea and I like the presentation with the photos!  Distant Waters and Pirates of Pop Culture are very interesting. I prefer Barbary Corsairs or the pirates of the South China Sea because it is something new. Of course, the other choices are also interesting.

[Oleon: Sign-up and Discussion, Era II]

Welcome to Brethren of the Brick Seas @Ozzy_4321 Major Andrew Collins! Good introduction and interesting story. I see you have already read some of the rules and understood the ranking system.

[[OL-FB] No quarter for the traitors!]

Exciting and interesting story. I enjoyed learning about the Brick Seas past. A great action build, the burning roof is very well done. The story and build remind me of The Patriot when Colonel William Tavington causes a lot of mischief with his dragoons.

[BoBS Challenge I - Winners!]

Thanks to all participants for the great posts and congratulations to the winners!

[[TC - Cat.A] Something Smells Fishy]

Excellently done!  The story and characters have been adjusted. I like the new people and everyone's faces.

Here I am, a simple and humble sailor! I don't do what leadership likes, I do what is good and right!

[Sea Rats: Sign-up and Discussion, ERA II]

The See Rats welcome the Elwood family!   

 

You are not unknown to me:

 

The Sea Rats are the place to be! 

[Sea Rats: Sign-up and Discussion]

The Elwood family is welcomed to the Sea Rats!  I am very interested to read more stories.

 

I like the restaurant on the raft. A very good business idea. I see that there is a plentiful selection of drinks at the bar.

 

Actually, you should sign up here:

But this is no problem! Our glorious leader @Professor Thaum will be very happy to help you and correct everything.

[[TC - cat B] Something about the butcher's cat]

I like the beach scene, it is beautifully constructed. It's good that nothing happened to the scientist in the whirlpool. What were his findings?

[[TC Cat -B ] Conclusion]

Great photo story and interesting characters! The connection between, Fraunces Brothers Story Part 5 + The Cocovian Job: Part 6, is excellently constructed and told.

 

I like all the buildings! The prison scene, the city and the ship are also great. The most beautiful thing, and most interesting is for me is the round frond staircase in the Fraunces house.

 

An exciting and interesting story of Lothario Fraunces and Quinten. I would be very happy to see and read a sequel. 

[BoBS Era Three Promotionals]

I'll act as if many people have answered and make a reply.

 

Foreign Merchants' District, I like it because some non-player nations can be seen.

[[TC - CAT. A] Sunken Ship]

I like how the remains of the sunken ship and the Kraken Arms attack were built.

[[TC] Ironhook the Third and Sharktooth Tower]

I also have to click on each one. I have no idea how to embed the photos in 1024 x 768 format.

[[TC] Ironhook the Third and Sharktooth Tower]

Good first topic. Interesting, detailed story and presentation of the characters!  It was fun to read the story. A likeable and fun pirate crew. I like the cave with the treasures and the bats on the ceiling.

[[ TC - cat. B ] A new adventure]

Interesting continuation of the story!  I like the different plants.

[[TC - Cat B.] The orders]

I like the beach with the different colors of the sand. Water fountains can already be seen in the water and on land. I hope there is no submarine volcano.

[[TC - Cat B. ] The questors]

Well-built jungle and the Keepers fit well with Brethren of the Brick Seas.

(- Eslandola : I honestly I'm not sure what their ambitions in joining the alliance was, so I don't have any suggestions for how they could react)

I am convinced that Eslandola wants to help! Maybe it would be interesting to reintroduce the Letters of Marque in ERA III.

This is seen as a violation of the terms to 'not make independant peace terms with the Lotii. Oleon and Carno, alarmed by this developement and never truley wishing to share the island, begin fortifying the government district of Seawatch and barring access to it for Corrington and Eslandola and hiring Sea Rats to seize the other Lotii settlement and turn it over. Natuarally the Sea Rats keep it or smash it up horribly and leave.

That sounds interesting! The Sea Rats are neutral and are very willing to help the underdog.

I honestly would see the Sea Rats more easily hired (storywise) against the Empires, not on their side, but this is obviously up to them.

Good idea, I like that best!

[[COR - TC - CAT A] Strange Weather, Quinnsville]

Very beautiful island with a tower as a weather station! The transition from a round tower to a square platform on the top floor is well constructed. I like the plants and trees. As long as the parrots are sitting on the palm trees, there is no storm nearby.

[[OL-TC-CatA] Finis Dierum]

 A great story with lots of close-ups! An extensive selection of minifigures and lots of details. The flooded buildings are very well built. I really like how the longboat floats on the muddy water between the balcony and the house where only the roof is visible. The different interior layers of the rooms with the residents and soldiers are very interesting.

[ERA III - Coming Summer 2024]

The goal of ERA III should be to retain existing members and attract new members!   

Challenge: "A Storm Brewing" is a good idea! Unfortunately, the number of participants so far is modest. What is necessary and what needs to be done to increase the number of participants?

 

Don’t ask what Brethren of the Brick Seas can do for you! Ask what you can do for Brethren of the Brick Seas!

What a beautiful wave!  You make me hope for those 1x2 rounded parts in transparent colors, it works so well.   Great curve on the sail too.

Thanks very much. 1x2 rounded parts in transparent colors are available from a third-party manufacturer.

Wow! The boat is great by itself, but that water technique is amazing! 

Thanks very much. I'm very pleased that you like my ship and especially the waves.

Interesting situation at the moment! If I took part in Category B with a entry, I would probably be in the 1-2 places. 

[[MOC] Grey Hawk - Bermuda Sloop with Leeboard]

A very beautiful sloop! I haven't seen ships with leeboards here often. I would leave the leeboards black because otherwise there would be too much red. I also like the crew, it's better not to mess with them.
