CelesAurivern

Bregir, how about our PIPs? How is that calculated?

Indeed. The island is not specifically mentioned as this was one of those lost expeditions that didn't make it. No survivors, no tales. At least not until the next expedition discovers an abandoned ship off the coast and starts to get curious...

CH2B - I have no voice, and I must scream... | CelesAurivern | Corrington

We should never have come here... Three days ago, our expedition landed on this island. The weather cool, the berries ripe and the water sweet, we quenched our thirst and eased our fatigue after a long voyage from the homeland. With an excellent harbour and all the necessary resources available, our surveyor believed there is no better place to start a new settlement. How very wrong he was... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ They came without warning. Swift. Sudden. Our firearms were useless at close quarters. It was a massacre. A pure bloodbath... Brutal... Savage... I watched in horror as my comrades were ruthlessly slain... ...then mutilated as their dead or dying bodies were repeatedly stabbed for pleasure... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I ran as fast as my legs could take me. I ran... with the Queen's Colours in my hands... I ran... for dear life... I ran... We should never have come here... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have no idea where I am. Not that it matters. I know I have no hope of ever leaving this godforsaken island alive. Three days on the run, with no food or water. I can neither move nor utter a word. I am spent. I will die here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I hear them. Their bloodcurdling howls. They are near. They have come for me. We should never have come here... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have no voice, and I must scream... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, didn't know you were bidding as well. So we have about 3 days 23 hrs and 15 mins from now to intercept you :D

I'm a sniper so...

I really like builds that are playable. Looks like it could make it as a Lego set.

I guess all our active members have replied :) The ayes have it! #2 is now Serentia! Serentia - 6 ayes: Ska, Ayrlego, Puvel, SilentWolf, Brickwolf, Mike S Rosetta - 4 ayes: Captain Dee, Bregir, CelesAurivern, BrickOn

I'll echo that. Settlement builders already have rights to name their own towns, so why not surrounding landmarks? As long as the crown has no violent objections.

Reserved suggestion for next continent: New Corrington Reserved suggestion for next challenge: Skarletta #2 is still divided and tied. Serentia - 4 ayes: Ska, Ayrlego, Puvel, SilentWolf Rosetta - 4 ayes: Captain Dee, Bregir, CelesAurivern, BrickOn The ayes have it! #10 is Cocovia! Cocovia - 8 ayes: Brickon, CelesAurivern, Captain Dee, Fuzzy McFuzz, Ayrlego, Ska, Puvel, SilentWolf

Reserved suggestion for next continent: New Corrington Reserved suggestion for next challenge: Skarletta #2 is shifting towards the Serentia and Rosetta. May we agree to vote on either one of these two? #10 looks like we can settle for Cocovia? #2 New Balondia - 1 aye: Brickon Allcock - 1 aye: Mike S Tivall Serentia - 2 ayes: Ska, Ayrlego Rosetta - 3 ayes: Captain Dee, Bregir, CelesAurivern #10 Lalaland - 1 aye: Tomsche (+4 violent nays: Bregir, Mike S, Captain Dee, Ayrlego) Cocovia - 5 ayes: Brickon, CelesAurivern, Captain Dee, Fuzzy McFuzz, Ayrlego Montoya - 1 aye: Mike S Rhyn

Oh right, brain fart :p The Skandialand series should be coming up for CH2. Stay tuned, folks :D

Adding some new suggestions and eliminating those with zero votes, thus far + making a few presumptuous presumptions about who is backing which name. Sir Tomsche has made us some nice suggestions, but he might be suffering from a caffeine overdose, so we'll keep his suggestions by the side for now :p (Any Corrie is free to back those suggestions, of course) #2 New Corrington - 3 votes: SilentWolf, Captain Dee, Fuzzy McFuzz New Balondia - 3 votes: Brickon, Ayrlego, CelesAurivern Alcock - 1 vote: Mike S Tivall #10 Lalaland - 1 vote: Tomsche (+3 violent objections: Bregir, Mike S, Captain Dee) Cocovia - 4 votes: Brickon, CelesAurivern, Captain Dee, Fuzzy McFuzz Cocaun - 1 vote: Ayrlego Montoya - 1 vote: Mike S Rhyn

Was there an Elves ship among your builds?

Coming back to the topic of naming our islands, since it has to be settled sooner or later. Any further input from fellow Corries? (Sorry if I got your "vote" wrong. Just based it off your opinion posts, since there's no official voting :p)

I don't mean to hunt other faction's ships in particular, but to assemble a fleet of 5As just to sail long routes on purpose, forcibly increasing the rate of NPC encounters. As it stands, it looks like the value of captured ships far outstrips trade cargo value, which still has to be determined by further rolls. We capture a 4A, that's 300DBs, full, unadulterated value. Capture 3 ships? Woohoo! In comparison, golden boy Bregir, with all his luck, only made a mere 256 in a single run :p As for detail, there's really no rule on that is there? Anyone could just slap together a basic hull and mast rig in LDD. The question is, is the playerbase is going to be comfortable with that? I know I'm not. But is there's currently no hard ruling to prevent that. This is not such a crazy thought. I brought up the issue of captured ships because it can potentially be powergamebreaking. There should be some more discussion done about possibly unbalanced issues in the MRCA. To start, might we be open to a treaty similar to this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Naval_Treaty

I have to agree that upgrades if done, need to be kept in moderation. It does not make sense to build a class 5, licence it as class 0 just to get it out there, then upgrade it to 5 again when you can afford it. Neither does it make sense for a built class 1 to be upgraded to a class 5. It's physically impossible. Tyrion Lannister does not just turn into Gregor Clegane. I think a lot of higher level class ships changed hands this time round. Lots of class 4s. While these are by no means easy to build, and neither does everyone have the resources to build an endless stream of ships. If our faction were to somehow build and upgrade them, we'd have another three class 5As for the Mar MRCA. (If we were to go digital and have unlimited resources, it can be done.) Mind, we have already saved over 1500 DBs in licences alone! (minus 450 for loosing a 5HA) So I ask you: would it make sense as a faction to build up a convoy of 5As then go ship hunting rather than trading? It certainly seems more lucrative >_> Ships Captured: Fallen Angel and Wringe I (Both ESL) by pirate Zublious Van Wreck in the Ghost Harvester La Oleon (Class 3A) captured by Sea Rat escort, The Viper (SR) Mardier privavateer Lover’s Quarrel (Class 4A), taken by the HMS Mars (COR) Pirate Butcher’s Baby (Class 3A) taken by HMS Queens Glory (COR) Pirate The Clear Conscience (Class 1A) taken by the Travoa (ESL) Pirate Poseidon’s Breath (Class 2A) Taken by HMS ELtina (OL) Unknown origin ship, Great Scott (Class 3A) captured by White Skull (SR) Notorious pirate, Val Gibbons and his ship The Roach (Class 5LA) taken by the HMS Granoleon (OL) The Garvey privateer Wisper (Class 4A) taken by the HMS Pandora (COR) Pirate Holder’s Secret (Class 2A) taken by Queen of Terrelli (ESL) Vessel of unknown origin, Blessed Angel (Class 4A) taken by King of Mardier (ESL) Unknown origin vessel Shadow (Class 1A) Taken by HMS Pandora (COR) Pirate Puffin’s Curse (Class 3A) taken by HMS Granoleon (OL) HMS Mermaid (Class 5HA) (COR) taken by pirate Daniel Doblinhue’s Friends Forever Friends Forever, sans Dobinhue, (Class 4A) captured by HMS Pandora (COR) Oleon trader La Cell captured by Madrice Privateer L’Olius in the Crooked Sparrow

The Valkyie shall join Fire Trader. Cheers!

Sir, could you advise your timezone in GMT please? :)

Aren't you an office holder somewhere? Monthly stipend?

Indeed, a universal spreadsheet will help everyone keep score correctly. I'm all for this.

Should be 25 + 10 = 35 then?

It wouldn't happen to be one of those 1 ship companies would it? <_< >_>

Bloody battles are being fought as we speak!

That's quite a boatload of features in there. Would make a great playset :)
