Mesabi

Excellent build @Drunknok, all of the little steps are great, and I like how you've connected the build to the railroad. Keep up the great work!

The Juniper Provinces, Corrington 608 I.I. Two Oleonese foot soldiers limped towards a small fort that had been erected upon the road. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr "Ambush..." Said the first. "I thought we had this putain of a province. We lost a whole company to those Corrish dogs!" "Merde! And all I have left is this bottle of wine. How is a good Oleonese Gentleman supposed to fight with a half full bottle of wine!" Said the second. "HALT!" Cried the guard at the gate. "We've heard reports of Corries in the area. Were you followed?" An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr "Non, non, just let us in. We need food, we've been on the run for a day! We'd have been mort if it weren't for these Corrish roads." Quickly, the guard opened the gate to let them in. He turned, hearing the clopping of hooves. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr "Charge!" Yelled Captain Mesabi, and she, flanked by 3 other riders sprang from the woods. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr "Merde, Merde, Merde! Close the gate!" Yelled the soldier at the gate, he fired his musket wildly missing all four of the riders. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi fired her rifle into the soldier, and he dropped to the ground. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr The two soldiers tried to close the gate, pulling the heavy doors close to one another. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr The soldier at the gate fired, killing the Captain's horse. She leapt from it, having already reloaded her musket. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr Her bullet pierced his skull, shooting fragments of his small Oleonese brain into the camp. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr Pulling the gate back open, she ran in. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr She aimed her musket, and fired the second barrel, killing a guard who up until that moment had been whipping a Corrish soldier. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr She turned to the second Oleonese soldier, and bashed him with her musket. Her second in command, Lieutenant Nick ran inside, while the rest of her forces covered the walls, firing at the soldiers up top. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr "What's going on?" Asked the Oleonese Commander, drunk on cheap wine. He and his second in command got up, and looked out at the battlefield An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr The Second in command was immediately struck in the head, and fell from the wall An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi smashed the chains of the POWs, freeing them. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr Meanwhile, Nick knocked a distracted soldier off the wall. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr The POWs fled, running after the remaining soldier outside the wall. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr "Captain Kellog?" Asked Captain Mesabi, "We've got you. We'll take you home now." An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr "You... came..." He said, wheezing. "Thank you... old friend..." He closed his eyes, and his breathing ceased. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr Nick escorted the Commanding officer over to Captain Mesabi. He was the last survivor of the small camp. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr "You Corries have honour right? I've surrendered. I am your prisoner. For the moment." The Commander said, the stench of wine on his breath. Captain Mesabi surveyed the wreckage of the camp. Intel had reported that there had been over 200 Soldiers in the camp. They had rescued only 4. Her mind drifted to the piles of fresh earth they had passed on the ride in... She knocked him to his knees. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr "I'll be damned if I let a pig like you go home after a war like this. She drew her blade. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr The two rode away from the camp in silence, leaving nothing but Corrish colours, blowing gently in the wind. An act of Valor by North White, on Flickr We aren't going to win this war. She thought to herself. LATER The Board by North White, on Flickr "We have reviewed your accomplishments, Captain Ansa Mesabi." Said the chair of the army review board. "We'll let you know whether you are eligible for promotion at this time." FIN Thanks for viewing my build. It has officially been 1 year for me playing BoBS. Thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way, especially @Bregir, @Ayrlego, @Maxim I, @Capt Wolf, and @Drunknok! This build is to introduce Count Mesabi's sister, Captain Ansa Mesabi. It was fun to do some action sequences. I miss back in AG where everyone was at war with everyone and we could kill as many of the enemy as we wanted in our stories. Still though, BoBS has been a great experience and I think I have become a better builder because of it. C&C appreciated.

2 Builds for Camp Isaac

Location: Camp Isaac Type: Large Commercial The Verdant Jungle of Cascadia was almost undisturbed in Camp Isaac. Corrington had invested heavily into ropewalks, as to leave the jungle undisturbed. Waymart Camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr But the WTC was not Corrington, and upon their arrival, they had chopped down a small grove of trees to build one of their general stores. Waymart Camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr Pete Zanzibar was not impressed by the state of Camp Isaac. As an Eslandolan national, he saw little benefit in science. Waymart camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr A Marine greeted him. "'Lo Mr. Zanzibar. Hope you appreciate our little camp." "Yes, of course. Good work building it." Pete Said, not meaning a word of it. He entered the small building Waymart camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr Inside, a royal pioneer, 2 porters, and an infantryman all shopped. Waymart Camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr Pete walked up to Linda, a junior operator. Waymart camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr "I'm here for the inspection." He said. Linda looked up from a months old KPA. "Why?" "Because things need to be up to WTC shape." He replied. "Why?" "Because The WTC is a multinational-" Linda Cut him off "Why?" "Because you're assigned to Camp Isaac Permanently. Enjoy trying not to die to Big Cats." Pete said, tired of arguing. He walked out. A customer approached with a black WTC rifle. Waymart camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr "Well, uh, I'd uh, like to buy this uh, here uh, rifle." The Royal Pioneer said Linda sighed. "That'll be 5 Dbs." Waymart camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr "Uh What? I could, uh, get that in uh, Jameston, uh, for uh, half that!" He said. Linda sighed again. "All prices are final. Do you have a customer loyalty card?" The Pioneer grumbled, and tossed 5 coins at her. "Come again soon! You'll have to, as we're the only store on Cascadia because the Myzlectan use a barter system!" She said. Waymart Camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr More customers lined up to buy overpriced goods. Waymart camp Isaac by North White, on Flickr Outside, Dr. Vesper assured a boatman that he was Randall Knox, while Pete Zanzibar chided a WTC marine. And things continued as usual. FIN Thanks for viewing my build. I went for a cheap American Gas Station feel with this build, and I hope it came though. It's been fun to use my whole collection again, and I hope it shows in my builds. C&C appreciated!

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. The only ship I've lost was the WTC Beacon in like a year of MCRAs, and that was my own stupidity. Seriously, sink some of my ships!!!

So, Currently, the Mesabi Landing AMCRA is run by myself, and was only allowed do to a misinterpretation of the rules. I would like this AMCRA to become the WTC's AMCRA, and have builds be done by @Drunknok and myself. Please let me know what Leadership feels on this matter.

The Reckoning: Chapter 2: Invasive species Location: Camp Isaac Type: Medium Educational Previous Chapters The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr Dr. Vesper was not impressed with the state of Camp Isaac. Wayfarer Trading seemed to have its roots there already, and WTC marines seemed to be building some sort of "Waymart" here as well. But Dr. Vesper paid little attention, and instead walked to one of the smaller research buildings in the camp. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr Randall Knox was a junior researcher in the field of Ornithology for the RSNP. He was a simple man who liked birds. And today he found the Belsonian exile in his research laboratory. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr "Um hello there mate? Can I help you?" He asked Dr. Vesper cordially. "You must be Randall Knox... I have read some of your papers on the field of... well... l will use the laymans term... birds." Dr. Vesper said coldly. "And you are?" he asked, somewhat confused. "Dr. Vesper. Edmund Vesper. Please, sit down with me, I want to talk to you about a thing or two." Dr. Vesper continued. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr "Are you familiar with... the Tiberian Puffin?" Dr. Vesper asked. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr "Ah, of course. A small seafaring bird once found on Tiberia. Why do you ask?" Randall said. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr "Do you recall why they are gone?" Dr. Vesper asked. "Well, there are theories, but..." "But we all know the truth. We killed them, we cooked them we and ate them. And our cats killed them. And the rats that snuck off our ships ate their eggs. Until there were no puffins left. None at all." Dr. Vesper said cooly. "But of course that's just a theory. And Tiberia holds many cliffs where Puffins could hide still..." Said Randall happily. "Ah, you are an optimist." Said Vesper with a frown. "Yup! And I like birds!" Said Randall. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr Dr. Vesper stood, and drew his pistol. "What you are not getting is this: minifigures destroy. We take. We break things. And we forget about the consequences. I spent my life dedicated to building better ways to do this, only for them to toss me aside like rotting wood in a forest to be burned down anyway. And that is why now is the time of reckoning." "What are you doing?" said Randall in a panic. "Put that thing away before someone gets hurt!" Randall, stood up, only to be struck with the but of a pistol. He cried out, and was struck again. As he crawled away, Dr. Vesper beat him over and over until he stopped moving. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr "Yes, Mr. Randall Knox. I think the time of reckoning is nigh." Dr. Vesper dug into the back pocket of Randall's pants, and pulled out identification papers. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr He walked away smiling. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr "And I think it is high time paying King's Harbour a visit..." The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr FIN Thanks for viewing chapter 2 of the Reckoning! Thank you to @Bregir and @Ayrlego for reviewing the build, and @Drunknok for editing it. C&C appreciaited

Excellent use of Foliage Drunknok, and good story as well. I'd like to see Reinhard return to civilized territory though, he's a good character, and could use some WTC shenanigans.

Thank you! The letter was marked priority, and they wanted to make sure it arrived. So they both went. The cape comes from Captain Phasma. Thanks?

Very nice interior and exterior Bregir. I love how the mixel joint fits in the middle of the exterior. The inside is well done as well, and I like the furniture. Thank you so much for Chartering the WTC. We'll do our best not to make you regret it.

Excellent build Kai! You've really mastered the SNOT technique. I like how you've used those new curved tiles as well.

I used Adobe Photoshop, But I need to work on the map, and my photoshop skills in general Thanks for your kind comments everyone!

Very nice build Drunknok! I see you've kept the blue dragon. The gave is well done, and photographed. Let's hope it's not coal in case he drops that torch!

Very nice little ship @Spud The Viking. It really shows a fairly realistic looking cruiser. The Cannons turned out excellent. Let's hope she sees some active duty putting those Damned Sea Rats to the bottom doing stuff!

Absolutely fantastic build @Bodi. Very clean, and well detailed. Keep up the good work, and good luck with your ships!

Another excellent build @Lord Buckethead. I really like what how you've portrayed Argentia in your last few builds. And, honestly man, You did better than anything I've made in the past four months. It really captures the style of set forth with Mesabi Landing. My only criticism is that you should have included an interior. Even a basic one. You had room for one man! Why?!?

Excellent build @Lord Buckethead. I really like your Railway idea, and I think it fits Mesabi Landing perfectly. Thank you for helping us build a new Corrish city!

The Reckoning: Chapter 1, A Call to Arms Location: Mesabi Landing Type: Medium Educational A wagon rattled along the new tracks that lead through Mesabi Landing. Lead by a Royal Engineer, a wagon carried coal over to the factories on the other side of town. The Reckoning Chapter 1 by North White, on Flickr As the Wagon passed, 3 figures walked over to the laboratory of Doctor Edmund Vesper, the Belsonian Exile. The Reckoning Chapter 1 by North White, on Flickr The Reckoning Chapter 1 by North White, on Flickr An Elite stood guard outside, while Karl Mordo and Peter Zanzibar entered the laboratory. The Reckoning Chapter 1 by North White, on Flickr Dr. Vesper was busy examining a flask, and did not acknowledge them as they entered. The Reckoning Chapter 1 by North White, on Flickr "Ahem." Said Pete, drawing a letter from his pocket. "This is for you, good Doctor." Dr. Vesper opened the letter and read it quickly, his eyes darting across the text. The Reckoning Chapter 1 by North White, on Flickr "Thank you gentlemen, for delivering this personally. I must ask you to leave now however. My work requires me." Said Dr. Vesper emotionlessly He motioned them to the door, and they exited. He reread the latter again to be sure. His hands shaking with rage, he picked up a chair The Reckoning Chapter 1 by North White, on Flickr "They exhile me to this godforsaken isle, and then cut my throat!" The Reckoning Chapter 1 by North White, on Flickr "Oh, but there will be a reckoning. A reckoning indeed. And a reckoning cannot be postponed indefinitely." He walked to a crate. The Reckoning Chapter 1 by North White, on Flickr He drew a pistol, exhamined it and smiled. The Reckoning Chapter 1 by North White, on Flickr "A reckoning cannot be postponed indefinitely..." he repeated. FIN Thank you for viewing my build! This marks the beginning of a new story I would like to tell. If @Bregir doesn't stop me. I tried to use some new techniques in this build, especially with the windows. I also finally got some slopes to use. Thank you to @Lord Buckethead for his railroad idea. Not only is it a great idea, it will be featured in my builds, as it gives me an excuse to use my rail pieces. Additionally, this build finally makes Mesabi Landing a City. Corrington is up to 4 now! Final note: Dr. Vesper is NOT to be associated with the WTC. He is not, and will not be a member of the WTC. Do not take out any of his IC actions against my trading company! C&C appreciated!

Great Build @Lord Buckethead! The build is a very nice sea shore, and captures Argentia well. The Palm trees are really well done. I'm jealous I don't have the parts to do those!

Oooh, me me me!

We are stronger together - set up the fog lights, fire a musket every minute and keep the squadron together. Chapter 3: The Fogmist. On deck, the Fogmist kept anyone from even seeing across stern to bow. Through the fog by North White, on Flickr Count Mesabi ordered a man to fire a rifle every minute, and to keep the ship steady. he then retired to the warmth of the captain's cabin of the WTC Copperhead. Through the fog by North White, on Flickr Darby sat in the chair across from the Count. He had been examining the maps the Tellvvokians had provided. "Man, why couldn't we have just bought maps in Tellvok?" Asked Darby "I'm not going to dignify that with an answer because you know why." Said the Count. "Chased by the bank of Corrington, what a life!" "Well, maybe if you hadn't been massively in debt to them before you left." Said Darby "But sending a ship after me? I don't need to be babysat. I was a queen's guard once. A Captain, in the queen's guard." Through the fog by North White, on Flickr "But I always longed for the sea...." "So why are we going to Kemblar again?" Interrupted Darby "Hush! I'm having a moment of silent recollection." FIN C&C appreciated!

@Vedauwoo Us Corries aren't supposed to comment, but I must say, Your ship is fantastic! Easily a class 9 warship. Here's to you finishing it!

I'd like for Agnes Mesabi to attend, she was last seen in Governor Cooke's office. Also, Lady Zumbro (Agnes's Mother) Should attend, as she has made her way to the new world. Merrynight by North White, on Flickr It can be expected that one or both of them will: Try to spike the punch. (If the punch is alcoholic, they will dump stronger alcohol in it) Have a drunken meltdown on the dance floor Flirt with inanimate objects Pickpocket other guests Declare that any argument is a duel, and proceed to shoot their opponent. Blow up trees get kicked out Feel free to pick any or none of those behaviors.

Hey, what's the current tax rate being imposed on foreign vessels? I can't seem to find what it is, and I don't want a repeat of last month.
