  1. Interesting build. I would have liked to see one pic with an actual roof, but that's me.

    That is a lovely scene. And welcome to "the life".

    A lot of great subtle touches in this build. The roof and and brick colour variations for example. You did a great job.
  5. It has a nicely shaped hull. Good job.
  6. Nah. I don’t want to contribute to the meta-gaming.
  7. That was fun playing along from the bleachers. I had a few things right (1 scum I had pegged by day 3... they know who they are and why, and I had Kotz as 99% town prior to that lynch), but I misjudged Khscarymovie4. Nothing you did Barbossa - just patterns I misread. Well run game Kintobor. Hopefully I notice the sign-up for the next one in time.
  8. I completely forgot to give you your props for that raid. A hearty "Well Done!" to you sir. You are putting your fellow Black Flag'ers to shame with your audacity.
  9. After the last two MRCAs, the thought has crossed my mind. It is too much bloody fun though.
  10. Even though I have recently resigned my position on the Brethren Court, I'll give you a brief reasoning behind these pro-pirate rule changes since I had a hand in shaping some of them. The fact of the matter is the game mechanics have been heavily skewed to towards trading from the outset and this led to the death of player piracy in Era 2. Before you cite @MKJoshA's private war with COR, realize that was simply a warship vs. warship conflict and not what the Council wanted. What has been lacking is small pirate fleets being sailed by players, harassing the trade shipping in order to ultimately keep the economy in check. Without those pirates, there were no ship losses (i.e. expenses) and that is partially how we ended up with super-rich players with nothing to spend on along with some rather bloated personal fleets. So we went about to identify challenges to piracy: 1) Lack of profit in ship captures; 2) Lack of secrecy leading easy tracking and engagement of pirates (see MkJoshA's trouble. Easy hunt criminals when you are told where they are each month); and, 3) Difficulty of successfully engaging the now prevalent "super-convoys" by lone ships or small fleets. Point 1 has been previously addressed back in October with a rule change. Point 2 is being addressed soon (tm), but take heart as there will be a non-Sea Rat pirate component to it. Some ideas to address Point 3 were in discussion, but got bogged down. When @SkaForHire started this game 3 years ago next month, the Sea Rats were to be the "pirate faction". For many reasons that never came to fruition. What you see as "unfair" is simply a long overdue correction to make that method of play viable for the first time. Having said all that, after two months my pirate fleet ledger is in the red (even with the profit rule changes) while traders still are pulling in massive profits. Make what you will of that.

    WOW. That Nar Shaddaa MOC is something else. Great job @MstrOfPppts! I can almost hear that tinny Cantina music from SWTOR in my head. (I commented here so to not clutter up the Black Sun intro thread)

    Huh. I don't like your interpretation as much as MINE.

    A practical approach. Off-topic: What is the yellow symbol that was previewed? I can identify or give a good guess on the other five, but that one has me utterly stumped. A keep seeing a nun or Handmaid's Tale.
  14. I am fairly sure you can edit the title of your own thread. I did it enough times in the pirate forum. So... quiet night 4 huh?
  15. As an impartial voyeur, I’m looking forward to seeing the Day 4 lynch result. Curious to see if my hunch is right.

    This certainly looks promising. Kudos for putting things together. I'm not sure my brick collection (and limited skill-set/time) makes this viable for me, but I am certainly give it a hard look once the rules get posted.
  17. Argh! How did I miss this starting up? Have fun all! I'll be spectating from the sidelines trying to discern the naughty from the nice.
  18. That is a very nice frontage for you convent, but I find my eye drawn to the Padre; that is one great minifig.

    On a deserted island

    I'll echo that sentiment. The colours are fantastic, to the point of bordering on other-worldly. But it comes off nicely. Great job.

    A very detailed step by step you have detailed and illustrated here. A hearty well done to you. The overview of the forge interior, with all the artisans at their posts, was a well staged scene and my personal favourite.

    That is a marvelous display. Great job.

    Hehe. Very nice and colourfull
  23. Nothing in the near future I'm afraid. We're working on other topics atm.

    I really love your roof design. I'd never seen that technique before with cones and it works really well.
