    Auction!

    The Sarge replied to Kai NRG's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Psst, you only need to bid 25. That's the starting bid - the minimum you put in. You only have to beat it if someone has already met the starting bid.

    I just had an idea for uprating ships! Since you are using the same hull presumably (a full rebuild would be very spendy), charge the difference but only give them an increase in guns and crew. Note the new rating with a +1, i.e. 4A+1. Limit it to maybe two steps up. This would make it economical only for captured vessels rather than something done regularly.

    I don't see any problem with uprating it. The USF President was built as a 44, and after her capture was uprated to a 50 and then a 60-gun vessel in RN service.

    When you redo for the contest scores, could you also adjust for 1st properties? It appears I was charged for both my factory (25db) and residence (5db) when my factory was my first property and thus shouldn't cost anything. There wasn't anywhere on the webform to mark that though. I believe there were a few other people who had the same issue. Thanks!

    I have purchased a small house in Breshaun from which to I intend to build my business in the New World. It has been finely adorned in blue and white trim, painted the same grey as the merchant fleet. It is suitable, although I endeavour to gain the funds for something larger with time. Honoré Sarrazin

    Breshaun Powder Mill [OL-FB2]

    The Sarge replied to The Sarge's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Thank you everyone! Of course! I'll get a picture as soon as I have decent sunlight again (the Pacific Northwest is terrible for that). And this is the mill not the drying house. We keep the powder wet to prevent explosions! Ww also sacrifice the occasional Corrie to Poseidon.

    House in Breshaun [OL-FB1]

    The Sarge replied to The Sarge's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Thank you! I'd actually built this before you posted your ships, but I thought it was as good an explanation as any. The real reason is that I only have enough 2x4 tiles for this in LBG.

    If you are starting from scratch it might be better to use Bricklink to get some figures, accessories and some parts to start your own ship, since there isn't much on the shelves right now.

    I'd give you a hand for this build, but it looks like you already had one... Bad puns aside, this looks really good. I think next time I would remove the white bands from the columns and connect the trim at the top. However. .. I approve!

    [OL - FB6] The 'Zephyr'

    The Sarge replied to Kolonialbeamter's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Very nice! You are really cranking out the vessels. You made it look good without any tumblehome, which is rare indeed. The Zephyr is a snow-rigged vessel.

    Very nice model and photography. I approve!

    This whole thing is great. The beehive, the flowers, the tree. I really like the field too, I think making it at an angle really helped the whole thing. I approve!

    "Note: Just like ships in the EGS, builders do not have to pay for the license of their first property, but license for the property must be small in size (this excludes forts, which cannot be used as your free property). The builder should still submit the proper webform, but they should check the box that states that this is their first property. No DBs will be deducted." The Land Thread

    Breshaun Powder Mill [OL-FB2]

    The Sarge replied to The Sarge's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Thanks! I agree on the wheel, I think next time I make a mill I will go for a larger overshot wheel. I'll keep in mind the position of the cracks as well.

    Thanks everyone! I looked to New Orleans architecture for inspiration on this one.

    The Sarge replied to blackdeathgr's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    House in Breshaun Powder Mill Both are licensed.

    I just licenced both of my properties. However, there was no place to mark that I was licencing my first property? I wanted to use that on the powder mill so it wouldn't cost me, but there was no box for it.

    Dear Journal, I decided to row ashore and fish on dry land today. BIG mistake. Turns out the fishing spot I picked "belonged" to one of the native gods, and lo and behold, a blowgun-wielding islander appeared to let me know. Luckily, I had just caught a fish, which I promptly offered to him. He seemed to be molified. I guess the islands aren't uninhabited after all. I think I'll leave the exploring to young Jean-Luc. It's more of a young man's game anyhow. -Honoré

    Very nice! I think it would look better if the maroon was black or green though.

    Once I have a couple vessels (and a job again, I got laid off!) I can do displays at Bricks Cascade and BrickCon. Probably not this year though.

    Question: Are only licensed properties or all properties counted when determining the size of a settlement?

    FB= Free Build CH= Challenge It's shorthand to avoid huge tags, just like the faction abbreviations (OL for Oleon).
