Captain Mesabi and a shipwright stood in front of the meager headquarters for Mesabi's new trade corporation. A seagull landed on a chest and began crying. "It appears everything is in order. Do you have the payment?" The shipwright said. Bad Blood by North White, on Flickr "Of course. I understand the ship will be here shortly." Captain Mesabi said. He handed the Shipwright a couple of Dubloons. "Yes, of course. I'm a bit perplexed by your choice of a name. Can you explain it to me?" The Shipwright asked "Bad Blood is the kind of name that lets the enemy know that you're already ready for a fight." Captain Mesabi replied. "I know the new world is mostly full of pirates, but I'd love to get in a scuffle with an Oleon vessel." "I don't think the enemy knows the name of the ship when they attack." "Huh," said Captain Mesabi Bad Blood by North White, on Flickr In the Distance, a ship was being rowed into port. It's hull was a bright crimson Bad Blood by North White, on Flickr The ship was rowed into the dock. Captain Mesabi beamed in happiness. Bad Blood by North White, on Flickr The crew got off, and began loading cargo onto the ship Bad Blood by North White, on Flickr "Smooth sailing Captain!" The shipwright yelled. The Voyage was beginning Bad Blood by North White, on Flickr Thanks for reading. C&C appreciated I will be registering this vessel as a Class 2 WR, it has 4 guns and five crew, If anyone has a better idea let me know. I also would like some advice for a good trade route. Or if I should join a convoy.

Hi, I'm asking here because you guys have all the Joint Stock Corporations. What do I register a warehouse under? I need one to set up a JSC but it doesn't say what kind of property to register them as in the colonies. Is it factory? Commerce? Or nothing at all?

It was a short ride to the quayside from the Arlinsport Inn Captain Mesabi was staying at. He was wealthy enough to rent a horse, bot not enough for a full hansom. He soon arrived at his destination. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr A soldier stood outside his door waiting for him. "Sorry Gov, 'fraid I can't let you in 'ere." The Soldier said, in a heavy accent. "You won't let me in my own building?" Captain Mesabi asked incredulously. "Oh! 'ight then. If you own the place, you can go in then. Thought you're just a layman. Without a proper dress uniform and all all." The Soldier said apologetically. Captain Mesabi said nothing. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr The Soldier moved aside and Captain Mesabi entered the building. It was an old fishing hut, and still smelled faintly of fish. Captain Mesabi had recently purchased it with a full years pay. The first part of his master plan. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr "Ah, Captain Mesabi. We've been waiting for you. We have some questions for you." The accountant asked pleasantly. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi's eye twitched. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr "We understand you're looking to set up a Joint Stock Company. But were not sure a person of your... prestige... is up for the task." The accountant said apologetically. Captain Mesabi Snapped. "Listen here you little mega block. I was killing Oleonese when you were still in the mold. I have spent the last 8 years learning secrets, getting favors, and forming a plan. I know every dirty secret in the court. And It's high time I did something real for Corrington." Captain Mesabi said, full of malice Headquarters by North White, on Flickr "You think everyone is born into royal blood? Or rich enough for the academy? I watched my company die in the Juniper war and all I got out of it was a meager position in the Queen's guard. And there I have sat, making sure the royals don't fight each other drunk off of rum. Well that time is over. 8 long years I have sat idle, saving for this. And no lowly Accountant is going to tell me otherwise." "Captain!" The Guard said Sternly. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi walked to his desk, an old crate covered in papers and sat down. "You might not believe in me, but I have 25 DB scraped together and I'm going to put it to good use. And if I can get the crown to pay more, I will. I might have been a lowly Guard Captain, but I'm going to be a Sea Captain, whether you like it or not. Now get out of my headquarters!" Headquarters by North White, on Flickr The pair left in a huff. Captain Mesabi took a swig from his bottle of rum. He sighed. "If there's one thing the Oleons know, it's how to make a stiff drink." He said to himself. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr FIN Thank you for reading! This is build is going to be my headquarters for a JSC hopefully. C&C appreciated More Pictures

Good job on the build! I don't think LDD builds turn out as well, but this one is a fine exception!

Can someone invite me to the Corrington PM? Thanks

You're really pumping out ships this month! (Or last) Again, I think the railings are the highlight. I really think you could benefit from interiors, even just the captain's cabin. But that's just my personal opinion. Regardless, you're quite the shipwright!

Another nice ship, I like how you did the tiling where the grey and the brown meet. The railings are really solid as well.

It's a nice ship. I like ships to have an interior though, I really think that shows dedication to a build. I like how you used the microfigures for the railing, and the Beast head for the figure head.

What class does a Galleon Fall under? I've been refitting an old MOC I did for BoBS and I'm not sure where a Galleon falls on the scale. Does 3A sound accurate? Or 3T1?

The Battle of Hayden's Bluff, The Juniper War 608 AE "We Hold This Bluff At All Costs! For Corrington!" Yelled Captain Mesabi "For Corrington!" The Troops Yelled. The tension in the air was palpable. It was quiet, too quiet. Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr "Hades, will the line hold? We've lost so many...." Captain Mesabi muttered to himself. Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr A bullet whizzed by, striking a man with a hard splat. He didn't even have time to scream. He fell to the ground. Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr And at once, all was hell, a blaze of shots and the smell of sulfur, a man dropped his musket and ran. Mesabi cursed his name. Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr Another man fell, and the Oleon Calvary were on top of them. The Rider fired, killing the last of the Company, but Captain Mesabi fired into him, killing his horse. Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr The pair drew swords, and rushed at each other, the singing of blades was all they could hear over the roar of the battle. Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr With a quick flurry of his blade, Captain Mesabi stabbed the Oleonese Rider. He pressed it deeper as the man died, watching the life slowly drain out of his eyes. Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi awoke suddenly, covered in sweat. He was in his bedroom. Far from the muddy hills of Hayden's Bluff. Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr He got up and dressed himself. "Today is the day," He told himself. Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr He looked in his mirror. "Today is the day, I set sail." Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr FIN Thank you for reading my first build for Corrington. C&C really appreciated, let me know if I'm doing everything alright. I do want to do EGS, I just need some time to figure it out and build a ship.

Captain Mesabi, Hereby Joins Corrington Captain Mesabi by North White, on Flickr A Veteran of the Juniper War, Captain Mesabi is an experienced Soldier, having lost many of his company along the way. Tired of guard duty in the Capital, he seeks a new life in the colonies.

As a new player, I'm curious about a few things story wise. What role does Slavery play in the game? Is it historically accurate slaves from lesser empires? Or no slaves at all? Was their ever a reformation like in European History? Or are all the gods the same as the new order has always had them?

Is there a link anywhere to the EGS? I can't seem to find it.

So... I'm looking to join BoBS under Corrington. I don't really understand EGS yet, and the fleet rules. If I join, would I be able to submit a Warship as a build? I saw the fleet maintenance costs, and I'm not sure what I would be able to do for starting builds. This really looks like a cool thing to join, but I don't know exactly what I can do if I start playing.

So Bob... can you give us any hints as to what will happen story wise after Octan wins? you've been posting mysterious hints about an increase in radiation...

Nice build Pombe. the colouring is a a fun break from the regular AG stuff. Where did you get evil Eshey's torso? It looks custom.

Wow, this really shows how things have changed in just 20 years. Nowadays, the pieces used would be so different in a set like this. If they made sets like this. Thank you for the review!

Wow, this is great! I really love how you used the Prince of Persia pieces. The whole era doesn't get a lot of love.

I really like how you did the cobblestones, nice build overall.

Wow, this is great, the upper portion is fantastic! The bottom layer has some nice vegetation as well. How stable is the top portion when put on the bottom? 3 stacks of 1x2s looks a bit precarious

Very nice build, how did you do the landing pad? Did you simply elevate a baseplate?

I would agree, but the fishing hut managed to pass. It's hard to know what Lego will do.

Great build! i feel like non European cultures don't always get enough love. I think this might belong in the pirates forum though, usually anything along that goes along with the new world ends up there
