    Ahoy mateys, this is Part I of our storyline for the ongoing build off between ESL and MAR. We - that is Jacob Nion, Bregir, and I - sided with l'Olius and justice! To reveal to you what those sneaky, backstabbing Eslandolans are capable of doing with their money-grabbing fingers if they see their Doubloons at stake. A Hero Harassed - Part I - Pleadings “You did what?” The judge gasped in surprise. And it looked like the hint of a grin on his face. L'Olius continued. Yes, he had seized the Queen of Terreli – and he had done it... with pineapples! L'Olius' squadron had been following the Eslandolan convoy for several days, and couldn't believe that there was only one warship to escort all these traders. And this warship seemed to be commanded by the worst captain anyone could ever have heard of. As a result, the Queen of Terreli performed so very poorly at sea, clearly this could only be a trap. But l'Olius was determined to follow his orders, so his squadron kept pursuing. And when they were about to intercept, l'Olius knew how he could seize the Queen without much violence: If using grapeshot was one of the most bloody ways to attack and seize a ship, he would use a broadside of the most unbloody thing – pinappleshot. And it worked! The captain and crew of the Queen were so utterly surprised, that before they could even think of what in Poseidon's name they had just witnessed, l'Olius was already standing on the bridge, and he placed the still confused captain under arrest. This story would definitely go down in history. What a day. But all that wasn't really what this trial was all about. Neither were the reasons for l'Olius orders to be discussed, nor the political background to be analyzed. This trial was about one thing only: Did he seize the Queen of Terreli legally, did he possess a valid letter of marque. And the answer to this question could only be 'Yes.' Yes, he did possess a valid letter of marque. It was granted to l'Olius personally by the Governor of Terraversa himself. And denying Terraversa's Governor the right to issue legal documents – not even Eslandola could go that far, if they didn't intend to affront all Mardians, and risk a war, that they always claimed not to want! So for one last time l'Olius looked at the pitiable Eslandolan representative, and waving his letter of marque before her eyes with pleasure he said: “Like it or not – the Queen of Terreli is now legally mine.” I hope you enjoyed this first part. Here is the rest: Part II - Discovery, Part III - Prospects. C&C welcome. For l'Olius and justice!

    Impenetratable hull!! No hurricane and pirate will ever be a thread to her Garmadon, this is a super fine vessel It's the cleanest slope based approach to a hull I've seen so far, and the fact that you not only created a splendid model, but that your ship is also a playable dream for anyone young at heart is what makes her stand out. And the rigging... just wow! That's time well invested! Great ship! And cool story, too, of course. May the winds and currents be ever in her favor

    Yes, you are right! Just make sure to link it in the Coronation Festivities Thread, and you are good Will comment more later, not to appear biased.

    Lovely office, Garmadon! Love all about it, my favorite being the rather unusual 'emblem' For money and riches and profit and shareholder value! You have one day to post that ship now!
  6. Kolonialbeamter
    Wow, lovely landscape design and trees And it seems you SR not only create new personal easily, but also trees out of (almost) nothing Magic! Splendid plantation
  7. Kolonialbeamter
    Nice interior and cool story! Why is the cat not white and resting on Sir James' lap being caressed? Hasn't he been expecting Mr. Bond Elena? Keep it up! PS. pineapples ftw!

    Is this considered bumping? Hope not! Kai, sorry for not commenting on this beauty sooner, busy month... I love the atmosphere on this market, so much is going on. Great details, that turn what is basically just a plain stretch of cobblestone (nice design, btw) into a vivid scenery The characters and merchandise are spot on. My favorite is the pig (hope it's not called Philip ) in its cage.

    Thanks, guys, for your likes and comments Hmm... no idea how to adjust these settings, might be doable. If I can spare some time eventually, I'll have a look into this Yet, I always found these reflections part of the charm of renders. And I'm not really a fan of post editing - call it purism... or incompetence Sorry to hear this, Mike Maybe the crabs should get their own MOC, so they wouldn't disturb the guards or even set off the power balance on Cocovia I first built the cabbin in accordance with the support beams... it just appeared boring to me with all angles being 90° But of course, design sketches can always be adapted

    Classic Dr_Spock Huge fan of your building and story telling style. Congrats on getting your ship back

    Welcome, Captain James, to BoBS and Oleon Shouldn't you already have one, get a flick-account - or one from a similar picture hosting site. If you choose flickr, this decent tutorial might be helpful Fair winds to you!

    A Prince? The Prince The entire Breshaun Squadron was ordered to fire shots in tribute, also.

    Wow, that was some time ago. A pretty long way you've come with the palace - and worth every meter Who took the photo of the photographer?!

    You'll get half of those 120DB back, but you'll still have to pay them first. It's a technical thing. For more details you'll have to ask Phred or Captain Genaro.
  16. Kolonialbeamter
    Just build large and pay everything at once, for Oleanders a large culture license costs 120DB.
