  1. Location: Charlatan Bay Type: Medium Factory The WTC had not been well received in Charlatan Bay. The Sight of the massive WTC Judgement had been regarded with disdain. But the WTC had a mission, to establish factories in the Colony. The First had been built by detonating a bunch of explosives in a small cave to enlarge it. There, the WTC worked on a new product. But all was not well. A drunken captain walked up the causeway to the factory, looking for blood. Pants factory by North White, on Flickr "Yah bloody bastards think you can force yer way into Charlatan after what Tyrell did? Well I think not." Said the angry, drunken captain. "Sir, please, we're not looking for trouble." Said the WTC Elite Guard. "Well Mr. Pistol Says you need to go away! Ain't that right Mr. Pistol?" Said the Captain "WTC needs to die!" Said the Captain in a falsetto Pants factory by North White, on Flickr The Elite Sighed. The Captain Cocked his gun. Pants factory by North White, on Flickr It took a quick slash of the blade to knock him back... Pants factory by North White, on Flickr Pants factory by North White, on Flickr Pants factory by North White, on Flickr "Now GET!" Yelled the Elite Pants factory by North White, on Flickr The Sea Rats dropped their remaining weapons and fled in a panic. Pants factory by North White, on Flickr Inside, work continued on the pants. Pants factory by North White, on Flickr Cloth was cut, and sewn into pants. They were piled, and then shipped. Far simpler than most factories. Pants factory by North White, on Flickr And Extra explosives were kept on hand in case of "emergency..." FIN Thanks for viewing my first reparation factory for Charlatan Bay. I read up on the colony, and really liked the idea of the tall cliffs feature of the island. So, I decided to build a cliffside factory, which probably hasn't been done recently. @Kwatchi said I couldn't have my Elites killing anyone (Even in self defense apparently ) So I hope this is a fair compromise. Technically, This is a part of lowtown, though I'd say it's about halfway up the cliff. Storywise I'm happy with it, though I don't think this will make my top 10. C&C appreciated! More pictures.
  2. The Wayfarer Trading Company has very unique uniforms. Curious for each rank? Use this handy guide! WTC Captains WTC forces by North White, on Flickr Dressed in Clean, dark tan uniforms, WTC captains wear a Bicorne. Each WTC captain commands a ship and her crew. Currently the WTC's Vessels are: WTC Aurora Class 2 WTC Copperhead Class 3 WTC Icarus Returning Class 6 WTC Beacon Class 4 WTC Infantry WTC forces by North White, on Flickr The WTC's Infantry was created to relieve the burden of the Marines, who beforehand filled all around roles for the WTC. The WTC Infantry does general guard work, and defends their land installations. WTC Marines WTC forces by North White, on Flickr The WTC Marines are the backbone of the WTC. Trained in combat, resource procurance, and shipmanship, the WTC Marines fill all sorts of roles within the organization. WTC Elites WTC forces by North White, on Flickr The highest ranking combat soldiers of the WTC belong here. Highly skilled in combat, they make sure no foreign power or trade corporation will ever harm the WTC. WTC Specialists WTC forces by North White, on Flickr WTC's specialists fill roles that regular soldiers cannot, such as snipers, translators, and assassins. WTC Operators WTC forces by North White, on Flickr Not all combat is physical! WTC's Operators consist of salesmen, lawyers, and upper level managers. They might be more cutthroat than the elites, however. These are the WTC's forces as of October, 617 iuxta imperium C&C appreciated, the elites aren't quite finished, I need more brown arm things, and they will have red feathers in their caps.
  3. Location: Mesabi Landing Tags: Small Commerce Yet another warehouse by North White, on Flickr Mesabi Landing had to store all the stuff it ascertained. But it was also a popular place for the WTC infantry to slack off... FIN C&C appreciated, Nothing big or interesting today. Just a quick build to help me build up Mesabi Landing.
  4. Location: Jameston Type: Medium Factory Agnes angrily stomped all the way over to the next WTC factory Gunpowder Factory by North White, on Flickr Pete Zanzibar stood outside. "Madam Mesabi! Have you come to inspect our factory!" Asked Pete Excitedly "This the Gunpowder one or the Bottle one?" Asked Agnes "The Gunpowder one, madam." Gunpowder Factory by North White, on Flickr "Perfect, just the one I was looking for. And let me remind you, I'm not drunk, I just drank enough to keep my nerves steady." Said Agnes. She dropped the two muskets by some empty barrels. "Well, I'll just show you inside, so you can see everything!" Said Pete, nervously Gunpowder Factory by North White, on Flickr "Gunpowder is made of three ingredients. Sulfur, Saltpeter, and Charcoal. We have to import in the Sulfur, but the other to ingredients are manufactured here." Pete Paused. "But, unfortunately, we have to have a Corrington officer to watch everything for safety reasons." Said Pete. "Hey now! Let's see you do this job as well as I do." Said the Corrish Officer Gunpowder Factory by North White, on Flickr "All you do is tell us how much of each ingredient gets dumped in a barrel from that cheat sheet!" Yelled Pete back "Yeah, but I'm certified to read the cheat sheet. Are you?" Said the Officer Smugly. "No... Moving on. We dump barrels of Urine into sand to make saltpeter." Gunpowder Factory by North White, on Flickr "So that's what that smell is..." Muttered Agnes. "Yes, that reminds me can we build a scented candle factory next? Or perfume?" Asked Pete. "I'll think about it." said Agnes, rolling her eyes. "Next, we make charcoal. We do this in that room over there." Pete motioned to a small room off to the side of factory. Gunpowder Factory by North White, on Flickr "And finally, we combine the sulfur, the saltpeter, and the charcoal, in a big vat." Gunpowder Factory by North White, on Flickr "And we just take the powder out and put in buckets." Finished Pete. "Great great great... Can I borrow some?" Asked Agnes drunkenly. "Why?" Asked Pete. "Agnes needs to go shoot someones." Agnes burped loudly. Gunpowder Factory by North White, on Flickr "Uh, I guess... I don't think we have that caliber of ammunition here though, we're using a different type for the advanced rifles." Agnes sighed loudly. "Why is everything so hard!" Gunpowder Factory by North White, on Flickr She kicked open the door, and left in a huff. FIN Thanks for viewing my third factory of the month. I tried to recreate the process of making gunpowder to the best of what the internet says. Hopefully it looks different enough then the last one I did. I made this one bigger and tried to fill the area fully. @Ayrlego I could probably build one more for Jameston to license. I'd really like to do a Musketball factory to end the story arc. As usual, C&C appreciated.
  5. Location: Belson Tags: Ship Having been launched and loaded, the WTC Judgement Sat majestically in Belson's harbour. WTC Judgement by North White, on Flickr On the Bow were four chase guns, ready to blow the hell out of anything that tried to escape. WTC Judgement by North White, on Flickr The Figurehead held the scales of justice, and a sword, ready to judge all that crossed the WTC WTC Judgement by North White, on Flickr The Judgement was crewed by the WTC's finest, the WTC elites. WTC Judgement by North White, on Flickr She was captained by Captain Gage, a veteran of the Juniper Wars, and a staunch supporter of the WTC. WTC Judgement by North White, on Flickr The Ship had both a captain's cabin and a map room, each lit my large stained glass windows. WTC Judgement by North White, on Flickr And she was ready to take to the seas.... FIN Well, thanks for viewing my latest build. I haven't had a lot of time lately, and I've spent it touching up this fine ship. She also has a fairly decent interior as well, but I lack the parts to properly furnish it. In game, she has 20 cannons, though I only have 12 ATM. Maybe I'll spend more dough so she can be more accurate. Hmmmm..... I also need to add the sails, I just wanted to get this up for the time being. The Judgement is a Class 7 and her stats are: Range =4 Maneuver =2 Firepower =8 Crew =5 Cargo =1 Hull =7 Total Used =27 @Bregir tried to make me make her more accurate, but he failed, and I kinda just made it how I wanted. Overall, I'm very happy with how she turned out, and I can't wait to build another one. I can in no way, shape or form license or operate this ship, so I think she'll be the story only ship of Agnes. But I'm not sure, as if I build a couple large factories, I could probably afford her.
  6. Location: Jameston Type: Medium Factory The Sepoys of Jameston eyed the new factory suspiciously. They had heard the stories of the WTC, and their exploits. The WTC Infantryman eyed the horse hungrily. Bottle factory by North White, on Flickr Inside the factory, Pete Zanzibar observed the workers. Bottle factory by North White, on Flickr Glass was made by melting sand into a gooey hot pulp, and gathered on a pipe. Bottle factory by North White, on Flickr The blob of glass was put into a mould made out of a barrel. Bottle factory by North White, on Flickr Bottle factory by North White, on Flickr A worker would then blow into the pipe, turning the blob of glass into a bottle. Bottle factory by North White, on Flickr After the bottles were cooled, the mould pieces were removed, and the bottles placed in crates. Bottle factory by North White, on Flickr The large crates were loaded into a cart. Bottle factory by North White, on Flickr As Zanzibar walked towards the exit he muttered to himself. "We are literally robbing the crown of Corrington with these economic incentives. Pity this had to be built at the edge of the world though. Her sister factories will make this the manufacturing capital of the new world. But it'll be a pain to ship the goods. Yes sir, it'll be a pain to ship the goods." FIN Thanks for viewing my build! Sorry for the radio silence lately. This was going to go in Mesabi Landing, but I need the cash, so Jameston I guess. C&C appreciated!
  7. Location: Madin, Tellvok. Tags: Not a part of EGS Count Mesabi took his new ship, the Copperhead for a spin with the Aurora. WTC exploration ships by North White, on Flickr Soon, the Copperhead overtook the Aurora WTC exploration ships by North White, on Flickr WTC exploration ships by North White, on Flickr The Copperhead made it's way back to the docks. followed by the Aurora. WTC Copperhead Class 3 Range = 4 Maneuver = 3 Firepower = 1 Crew = 1 Cargo = 4 Hull = 2 C&C appreciated, I just posted this topic so I can license her without using the AMCRA topic.
  8. Location: Madin Tags: Freebuild Madin was a busy city, far busier than any of the new world settlements. Merchants lined the streets selling all matters of goods. Brimstone, Pistols, and Pineapples were sold on this street, in front of a small building. A fine day in Tellvok by North White, on Flickr The Count and two marines walked through the crowds, past the loud cries of the merchants. A fine day in Tellvok by North White, on Flickr Dearest Agnes, Sorry for leaving Mesabi Landing with absolutely no warning. I think you know why I left. Don't try to follow me. I'll be back soon. Madin is cool. These Tellvokians put even MAESTRO to shame. They sell everything here. Not that I'm bringing you anything. Anyways, Bye. -Count Mesabi FIN Thanks for viewing this small vinaigrette. I just wanted to show a little of what I see Tellvok as. I'm not going to call it a great, well built build. But I'm happy with my fig posing, and choice. C&C appreciated, though y'all never seem to comment on my stuff....
  9. Location: Weelond Type: Small Artisan Weelond stopover by North White, on Flickr The Crew of the WTC wandered the streets of the festive Weelond, home of the Oktoberfest. Brought about by some ancient tradition, minifigs from around the world traveled to Weelond to eat Pretzels, and get hopelessly drunk. Street venders sold all sorts of goods, But several members of the WTC found refuge on the roof of the bar their beloved leader was visiting. Weelond stopover by North White, on Flickr "Look, I know you're holding back. You were there, you can tell me what happened. So tell me what happened, Fatsidro." Said the Count Angrily. "I've alheady told you evyhing I know." Said Isidro, visibly annoyed. "I met you hih as a couhtisy." Said Isidro "What else do you know about the group?

I don't think I emanated the Dutch style well enough but whatever. It used all my colourful bricks. C&C Appreciated
  10. Location: Mesabi Landing Tags: Buying Levels Purchasing Levels by North White, on Flickr "What do you mean we're broke!" Yelled Count Mesabi "Well, um... Since Ships take a while to get to port, we're currently almost out of money." Said Darby Tyler Purchasing Levels by North White, on Flickr "Heh, zould have been born a Ezlaner." Said Dmitri, not looking up from his book "Shut it, so what do we do?" Asked Count Mesabi "Take more loans out I guess" Said Darby Sadly. "Maybe the bank of Corrington can help us. It's not like anyone's going to donate to us after all the chaos you caused." Purchasing Levels by North White, on Flickr "Well, pen a letter to the bank of Corrington." Said the Count Purchasing Levels by North White, on Flickr Dear Bank of Corrington, While we are already in massive debt to you, we'd like to be more so. We need moneys. We need moneys fast. What must we do for moneys? Sincerely, Count Mesabi CEO of the WTC FIN Thanks for viewing this build for purchasing more ship levels. Assuming I ever get the money to do so. Anyone is free to donate! The build was originally my design for Oktoberfest, but I decided it didn't fit Weelond enough. It fits well in Mesabi Landing, however.

  12. Location: Mesabi Landing Type: Medium Residence Darby Tyler walked towards the Mesabi Residence, It was a beautiful day, and the sun shone bright above Mesabi Landing. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr He walked past the two Mesabi Children playing with swords, no doubt looted from somewhere. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr He Passed Sgt. Sally, who was reading a newspaper. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr He Passed a fight between an Oleon soldier, and Corrington one. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr At Last, he reached the door to the Mesabi residence. Suddenly, a gunshot was heard. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr He looked up to see Agnes Mesabi killing a Sea Gull. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr The Sea Gull fell to the ground with a plop. Darby sighed. He had already eaten Sea Gull Soup twice that week. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr Agnes leaped from the roof. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr She landed next to Darby. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr She took a swig from her bottle. "Dinner will be in an hour! Sea Gull Soup!" She said drunkenly. "Yay." Said Darby. "Is the Count inside?" "Yup! She said, and sauntered off to watch the fight. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr Darby entered the Mesabi Residence, and walked through the kitchen. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr Count Mesabi sat with Sgt. Eric, and the Saboteur. "Well, you did put in an effort. That at least should be rewarded." Said Count Mesabi "Thank you!" Said Sgt. Eric Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr "Even though you came to me with nothing, and it was complete luck that the Saboteur was brought to me. I mean the natives only come here for the fruit." "Ummm." Said Sgt. Eric "But since you're here, let's get this guy to talk!" Said Count Mesabi "No! Please!" Said the now clothed Saboteur, "Anything but that! make him go away, he's an animal!" "Why don't you leave, Sgt. Eric. You'll be paid by someone. I think you're services are no longer needed." Said the Count. Mesabi Residence by North White, on Flickr Sgt. Eric quickly left. "Darby! What are you doing here?" Asked Count Mesabi "Dmitri was getting on my nerves again. He kept going on about the 'Papaver somniferum' on the island. Whatever that means." Said Darby "Weird. But we have a conundrum. This man isn't the saboteur. The Saboteur was hired by a man named Thuam, and this man knows nothing." "Huh." Said Darby "So the question is, what do we do with him..." FIN Thanks for viewing my latest build! This one has been on my shelf for a month, while I waited for the minichallenge to wrap up. So, uh, no excuses this time. Extra Pics Here are my thoughts on everyone's entries. @Bodi, Sorry if I've marginalized your characters to much in this build. you really put a lot of work into the challenge, and I liked your builds. I really liked how you used Count Mesabi too. @Professor Thaum, would have liked to have seen you make it to Mesabi Landing. Your story left a lot of unanswered questions. I always like Collabing with you though. @Bregir Herlock Sholmes was an interesting character, but you should have made him an opium addict, like his source character. I might have to change that for you. . Your builds were great, however, and very nice. @Keymonus Your build was really the most creative. I hadn't even thought of using Varcoast or a NPC nation! Bravo! @Maxim I Good job integrating the WTC's shenanigans into the Challenge. I really liked your build too. Oh! And I'm feeling nice today, so I think I'll add a participation prize to 3rd, 4th, and 5th place. I'll each build you a small property of your choosing in a settlement of your choosing, so long as you PM me by November. Expect Shenanigans!

Said Count Mesabi The three tromped over the bridge towards the observation post. Fish hung as bait from the wood and stone structure. Camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr "You talk to the man out here, Darby. You're both holding books, so you must have something in common."

"Fee is non refundable." Said Dexter "Well then I am glad to be a member." Said the count. FIN Thanks for viewing my latest build! I bought This for the parts, and decided to make a build with it, after seeing @Bregir's fantastic rope bridge build. The build is supposed to be an old Native building built over by the Royal pioneers. I don't have any big cats, so I couldn't include any, unfortunately. C&C appreciated!
  15. It was another busy day in Mesabi Landing with the construction of Library of Learning. Count Mesabi was showing off the new structure to his beloved wife Agnes.

Replied Agnes "I think you'll like it." Library of learning by North White, on Flickr "Who's the librarian? She's new." Asked Agnes "I don't know, she just kinda appeared when we started putting books in." Replied Count Mesabi "Huh." Library of learning by North White, on Flickr "Check out this rug! I special ordered it from MAESTRO." Said Count Mesabi excitedly. "It's a little small. There's a lot of boxes in here. Are you using this as storage!" replied Agnes "We only have like 20 books. it's a shame to waste the space." Agnes sighed. She walked over to a bookshelf. Library of learning by North White, on Flickr "This is a heavy book. A history of Corrington. Hmmm...." She hurled the book at Count Mesabi. Library of learning by North White, on Flickr The book knocked him over. He grunted in pain. "Now, let's talk about building me a house, SO I DON'T HAVE TO SLEEP ON A SHIP ANYMORE!" Yelled Agnes Count Mesabi sighed. FIN Thanks for viewing my latest build. C&C appreciated, but I do know the build could be a lot better. I kinda ran out of time before I leave for college. Which is thursday. . That and I dropped it once and had to rebuild it. Oh well.
  16. Location: Trabor Type: ????? The rowboat landed hard on the beach of Trador. "Why are we doing this again?" Asked WTC marine Sally "So that Count Mesabi can prove the WTC's Prowess in soccer as well as in commerce." Answered Joe, the one eyed Marine Invasion of Trador by North White, on Flickr Slowly, the WTC marines disembarked, Walking their way up to the beacon house The Customs officer greeted them. "You here for the football cup?" "No, we're here for the soccer cup." Said Biff, the squad leader "The what?" The Customs officer seemed confused. "Can we just kill him?"Asked Sally "Then we'd be disqualified. You read the rules. Murder is only allowed if their is a dispute over betting." Said Joe Invasion of Trador by North White, on Flickr Several marines groaned. They walked through the customs house and lined up, ready for the big game. Invasion of Trador by North White, on Flickr From right to left: Jackie, Joe, Sally, Kruschev, and Biff FIN Thanks for viewing my build. This concludes things for august. I'm not sure what to license this as, It's kinda a lighthouse, kinda a customs house. So, please let me know. This is my first build from my dorm, with what scraps I dragged with me, so the quality all around isn't great. C&C appreciated, and I'm glad to have participated in this challenge. More Pictures

    [K-X00] New Orders

    Location: Earth Tags: Assignment The Elevator in the Yamato building took Captain Mesabi to the 601st floor in just a few minutes. Another miracle of Modern Technology Captain Mesabi thought. He walked to the entrance of the briefing room. New Orders by North White, on Flickr A Kawashita Stormninja stood in front of the entrance of the briefing room. His ranking was far above Mesabi. His eyes were hidden behind sunglasses, and his face covered by a ceremonial bulletproof ninja covering. He grunted at Captain Mesabi "Business?" Asked the Stormninja "Captain Mesabi. Secret Mission." Replied Captain Mesabi New Orders by North White, on Flickr "Head inside." The Stormninja moved aside New Orders by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi walked into the briefing room where Mister Baxter and Mister Fischer stood in front of a holographic console.

Said Mister Fischer "Thank you." Said Captain Mesabi New Orders by North White, on Flickr "So let's go over your mission, Captain." Said Mister Baxter Mister Fischer pressed a button on the console. A blurry hologram of a space station appeared. New Orders by North White, on Flickr "This is the only image of a station located somewhere in Andromeda. It was created by the Omega Group, a mysterious group that has operated in the shadows since the first forays into Andromeda." Said Mister Fischer "We think they're developing a weapon. But that's just speculative." Said Mister Baxter "So you want me to?" Asked Captain Mesabi New Orders by North White, on Flickr "Find it. It must have sustained damage in the radiation flares, so personal on the station may have been evacuated. But again, this is all speculative." Said Mister Baxter New Orders by North White, on Flickr "And once I've found it?" Asked Captain Mesabi "Report back to Headquarters. A ship will be provided, once the portal to Andromeda is reopened." Said Mister Fischer "Ready your crew. Prepare them well." Said Mister Baxter "Thank you sirs, I'll leave immediately." Said Captain Mesabi "And one more thing. Octan will be looking for this as well. Stay vigilant." Said Mister Fischer Captain Mesabi left, his mind only on the new mission. New Orders by North White, on Flickr FIN Thanks for viewing my first entry into AG2! I can't wait for the rules to come out and for the game to wind up again. In the meantime I'll be over at BoBS. C&C appreciated, yes I know the picture quality isn't great, I'm just trying to get this out before I leave for college. No fear though, Captain Mesabi's adventures will continue from my dorm. Oh, and fun fact, the doors actually work in this build. I just felt like telling y'all that.
  18. Lt. Billsby left the small rowboat and met up with the fort commander in Argentia, Major Mason. Fort Agravia by North White, on Flickr "So, you're the new guy eh? Well, welcome to hades." Said Major Mason "Excuse me?" Asked Lt. Billsby Fort Agravia by North White, on Flickr "The role of this fort is to keep the WTC from doing anything that endangers the empire." Answered Mason "And that makes this hades because?" Asked Billsby Fort Agravia by North White, on Flickr "Wait why does the fort not have front doors?" Asked Billsby "The WTC stole them, because quote: 'Build more ships or something' apparently" Answered Mason Fort Agravia by North White, on Flickr "Let's go to my office." Fort Agravia by North White, on Flickr "So, this is my office. And bedroom. And kitchen. And dining room. I hate it here. Did I mention that?" "It can't be all bad." Said Billsby Fort Agravia by North White, on Flickr "Here's a book of emergency procedures to follow in event the WTC does something stupid and or bad. Let me read you a snippet." Said Mason "Okay?" "Code 403. If the WTC is to summon a deity, extradimensional demon, spooky ghost, or the kraken, you are to destroy Mesabi Landing and it's inhabitants." "Wait how on would they even..." "Code 404, huh this is missing. Okay 405, if the WTC is to cause Eslandola to go to war with Corrington, you are to destroy Mesabi Landing and it's inhabitants." "Wait how are we even supposed to do that?" "I'm glad you asked..." Fort Agravia by North White, on Flickr "Recent developments in military science have allowed us to create new more powerful weapons, things that can really, really, do some damage." Fort Agravia by North White, on Flickr "Meet Betty. 400 lbs of Solid murderosity. We figure she should be able to destroy Mesabi Landing from here in less than 10 shots." Suddenly, a Drunken Horse stumbled out down the road. Fort Agravia by North White, on Flickr The soldiers all gathered to watch as it collapsed.

C&C appreciated everyone, let me know if this story is to ridiculous or anything, I kinda think it's pushing it so I might rewrite it.
  19. On a lonely road in Briolui... GBW Campaign 3 by North White, on Flickr "Ve Shall crush the Briolooey dogs and feast upon they're remains." Said a Filace Soldier "Yas, and Ve Shall have much farmland vhen de var is ova." Said the other. GBW Campaign 3 by North White, on Flickr But unfortunatley for them, a soldier sat behind sandbags in a position built into the cliff. GBW Campaign 3 by North White, on Flickr In a burst of machine gun fire, the poorly constructed Filacian Jeep collapsed into two, ending any hope for Filace to take the sector. GBW Campaign 3 by North White, on Flickr FIN Yeah, yeah, I've been on hiatus for a while. Sorry Stash, for letting you down. C&C or whatever.
  20. Location: Mesabi Landing, Argentia The Stockpile was built on the inland section of the Island. A WTC guard sat outside the house, because they had nothing better for him to do. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr "So, let's go over what we took. 10 Cases of wine..." Darby was interrupted "Nah, that's gone. I drank about a case, and the rest I fed to the horses." Replied Count Mesabi Headquarters by North White, on Flickr "You know at this point I'm not even going to a..." "So I heard about this place in Oleon that feeds wine to cattle." "So Naturally, you wasted 10 Cases of wine..." "Eight. No wait, Seven on the horses." "Making are only mode of transportation drunk." Headquarters by North White, on Flickr "Yes. And I think it was six cases." FIN Sorry for my absns. This was the only thing I had ready to go for BoBS for the month of July. Vacation and work really cut down my free time. But now I hope to be back. C&C appreciated.
  21. With both WTC ships anchored off the coast of Argentia, Count Mesabi, and his loyal WTC marines rowed their way to the Isle. Landing by North White, on Flickr "Today, Men, is a great day," Said the Count. Landing by North White, on Flickr "Today is the day that we found the city of Mesabi Landing, home of the Wayfarer Trading Company, soon to be..." Mesabi was cut off. "Wait, you're naming the town after yourself?" Asked Darby "Well, not myself, after the Mesabi line." answered Count Mesabi "Same Difference." Replied Darby "Look, Arlinsport, Elyzabethville, Hussar's Isle, King's Harbour, Mooreton Bay, Port Raleigh, Stormhaven, and Quinsville all were named after people, why shouldn't I partake in the fun? After all, I am a count." Said Count Mesabi "Oh for Zeus's sake, would you stop bringing that up? and I don't think Stormhaven is named after a person." said Darby "Oh course it was, Stormhaven was once a haven for a person named Storm, that's why it's called that!" "I really don't think..." "I mean, who would want a haven for literal storms, that place would be awful." "No, it's a haven from storms." "Oh." The boats crashed against the surf and Count Mesabi leaped out. Landing by North White, on Flickr The wreckage of a ship and several corpses sat on the beach. "Huh, no crabs with hats. I'm a little disappointed." Muttered Count Mesabi The Troops set off into the interior of the Island, wondering exactly what might be on the mysterious isle. Landing by North White, on Flickr FIN Thanks for reading my little build, just another story update before I can really start putting properties in Mesabi Landing. Hope you all enjoyed, C&C appreciated
  22. The WTC Beacon Rocked Heavily as it sailed towards Argentia. Heavily laden with goods taken from Nova Malto, the ship was low in the water. En route by North White, on Flickr "Ship Ahoy!" Yelled a WTC Marine En route by North White, on Flickr "Oy! Man the guns! I don't care what flag she's flying, we'll blow them to the bottom if they get to close!" Yelled Captain Mesabi from his cabin "You sure sir? She's flying our colours! It's the WTC Icarus Returning!"" The Marine hollared back "Oh." The two ships pulled along side each other En route by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi got over to the other ship, so he could talk to the crew personally En route by North White, on Flickr "Agnes?" Captain Mesabi asked "Well if it isn't my befated husband, Captain Mesabi, out on another one of his follies." Lady Mesabi said Shrilly. "Daddy!" the Mesabi children exclaimed. "Hello children. How are you?" Captain Mesabi asked "Did you bring us something?" They exclaimed En route by North White, on Flickr "What? No, your mother didn't tell me me you were coming!" Captain Mesabi said earnestly "Aw, you're a terrible daddy." Said Their Daughter "Yeah! I'm going to break something!" Said their Son "No, don't, uh, you can each have something we stole from Nova Malto." Captain Mesabi said "Yay!" They Exclaimed "Nova Malto was it? Do you know how I heard that you were on some Eslandolan Isle, doing gods know what? A royal messenger came to our house in Belson, and told us you were being made a Count for your actions there. Was Arlinsport not good enough for you? Just like Belson was?" Lady Mesabi asked angrily "Um..." "And do you know what it's like being the newest countess in Belson? It's awful, all the other nobility treat you like your a mega blok. So I said enough! I'm tired of raising these kids with tons of servants in Belson, and I'm coming out here to make you deal with it." Continued Lady Mesabi, "Uh, wait, I'm a count?" Asked Count Mesabi, confused "And it's the first half decent thing you've done for this family. Quitting your job as a queen's guard just to flee to Arlinsport wasn't great for our finances! Just because I have family money doesn't mean you can leave this family to the wolves." "Can we at least acknowledge We're now royalty?" Asked Count Mesabi "Once you understand just how mad I am at you." Said Lady Mesabi. Their was a certain fire in her eyes that led Count Mesabi to believe that this lecture would last a while And as the ships continued their voyage to Argentia, he found he was right. FIN Thanks for reading my story build for Captain Mesabi becoming a Count. I thought I'd introduce the Mesabi family while I'm at it. Everything is reused, and I really need to work on getting a bigger background, so I can fit more stuff in. Oh! and here's a video summing up my situation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czqhyVGdYiE
  23. While scouting for his next mission, Captain Mesabi encountered a patrol.... Prelude by North White, on Flickr With a swift click, his underbarrel shotgun fired, ripping the man in half. Prelude by North White, on Flickr Nothing Would stop Captain Mesabi from his mission... Prelude by North White, on Flickr FIN Thanks for viewing my build. I'm still in this, sorry I missed campaign 2 . I'm not entirely sure if this can be scored, because it's not entirely reconnaissance. Judges, use your best discretion. And please let me know if this kind of build doesn't work. Apparently you can't do recon until level 21. Please wait to judge this build until such time as I hit that level. However long that takes...
  24. Dear Sirs, and Madams shareholders, Wayfarer Trading Company, hereby referred to as WTC, hereby launches relief efforts as part of operation Pax Corlandia. The Ship, WTC Beacon, loaded with relief supplies, has set a course for the ruined settlement of Malto. WTC will help make sure that the new settlement of Nova Malto, stays free. In the name of Commerce for all company's and nations, Nova Malto must stay free. Regards, Captain Mesabi CEO of Wayfarer Trading Company The wind blew Wayfarer Trading Company Accountant Darby Tyler's hair, as he leaned over the side, having finished vomiting. Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr The WTC Beacon swayed gently in the breeze. It was another sunny sea day. Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr A seagull landed on the railing. "We'll be reaching land soon!" yelled the helmsman Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr Darby walked into the captain's Cabin, where Captain Mesabi and Lt. Isaac stood. Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr "You finished?" Asked Captain Mesabi "I don't know how you people do this, I feel so ill." replied Darby "Cheer up mate! We'll be hitting land soon." said Lt. Isaac "Yes! And then we will help those poor wretches of Mardien blood, and they will treat us as their saviors! And WTC will make lots of money off this endeavour." Said Captain Mesabi cheerily "How exactly will this pay off our massive debt to Brickwolf and the bank of Corrington?" Asked Darby skeptically "Simple! it's a threefold strategy. The Queen is subsidizing this operation, WTC will have the first foothold in Malto, and grave robbing!" Answered Captain Mesabi "I..." Darby was speechless. "Oh, that reminds me, I went over our cargo manifest, and we forgot shovels." Said Lt. Isaac. "Bah! Does anything ever go right?" Yelled Captain Mesabi Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr FIN With the WTC Beacon having anchored close off shore, the First Relief Division marched its way along the road into Malto Smoke was in the air, and fallen soldiers lined the road into the city. Soon they reached the gate, Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr Nearby, a mass grave was being filled with bodies Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr "Alright Darby, make a note of that spot. We'll come back tonight" Said Captain Mesabi gleefully "Captain, even if I wasn't outraged by this, as it is not only an affront to minifigkind, the Gods, and what Corrington stands for, I'm fairly certain they took the valuables off the bodies before they buried them." Answered Darby "Oh." Captain Mesabi replied The company entered the gate Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr The acrid smell of smoke wafted through the air. The scene was one of chaos, a carriage had crashed into the gate, and had been half stripped for firewood. The Garrison was half collapsed, having been hit by cannonfire. A large bonfire took up the street, where a horse was being roasted. Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr "Did I ever tell you I had to eat horse? Was back during the war. Oleon raided our supplies, so we had to make do. So we ate horses. I tell you, there's nothing better than roast horse after a long battle." Said Captain Mesabi, wistfully "I think I have to vomit again." Answered Darby "Honestly, how is that even possible, that's all you did on the voyage over!" Replied Captain Mesabi The Residents of Malto eyed them suspiciously as they walked through the ruined city, but did nothing. Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr "Hades! They're starving!" Muttered Darby "Well, remember, you can't give malnourished people a bunch of food, no matter how hungry they are. It'll kill them. Saw that in the war, one company got separated, ran out of horses, and when they came back, they ate a bunch a food and got sick. Couple died." Replied Captain Mesabi "You're a fount of knowledge, Sir." Said Lt. Isaac. "Come on, we'll set up in the Inn." Said Captain Mesabi The three walked into the Royal Blue Inn, while the rest of the troops set up guard outside. A woman sat weeping over a coffin Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr "Let's see, maybe they have a table upstairs. If not, we'll use the coffin." Said Captain Mesabi The Woman sobbed harder. The three found a table upstairs. Darby rolled out some maps and papers. Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr "Alright, now the real work begins." Said Captain Mesabi FIN It was a week later, and the three sat at a desk, poring over papers. Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr "Men, I think we're off to a good start." Said Captain Mesabi "We've got a fort established and the city is being rebuilt. They're calling it Nova Malto." Said Lt. Isaac "I coined that." Said Captain Mesabi smugly "How did we build a fort so fast?" Asked Darby "Simple, we built over the old one, and starving people are highly motivated." Replied Captain Mesabi "Wait what?" Outside, work continued, with supplies being sorted and stored. Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr Below the three, a Mardien Chef prepared dinner. Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr And from the walls of the fort, a soldier kept watch, assuring that anyone who threatened the people of Malto, would be stopped. Nova Malto by North White, on Flickr FIN Thanks for viewing my trio of builds for Operation Pax Corlandia. I don't know what to license the ship as (any suggestions?) The Wall of Malto we be licensed as a large Artisan, the fort as medium fort. C&C appreciated
  25. Relief efforts were finally winding down, as the Settlement of Nova Malto settled into its new position as a free city. But still a few ships had to unload their precious relief supplies. Captain Mesabi and Account Darby Tyler stood on the quayside, as the WTC Wolf's Blood was being unloaded. "So the Manifest says its carrying gunpowder, alcohol, textiles and mining explosives?" Said Darby "Well, technically mining explosives are just gunpowder and textiles, but yeah." Replied Captain Mesabi So what do we do now? Are troops have to leave to make sure we don't violate neutrality rules!" Said Darby "Eh, don't worry about it." Replied Captain Mesabi "Happy Birthday!" an unknown voice cried. "You say something?" Asked Darby BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!! The Ship had practically vaporized. The Quayside was littered with splinters and broken crates and barrels. There was screaming all around. "Oh Gods! Oh No Oh No Oh No!" Yelled Darby "Pipe down, we've got work to do." Said Captain Mesabi "I think we might be on this rock a little longer than planned..." He concluded FIN Thanks for viewing my build, just a little something I whipped up before the end of the month, I know it's a little simplistic, but it serves its needs. C&C appreciated.
