Quintesson logic: Guilty until proven innocent.

Yes, I believe the notary is aware of that as it has been brought up in the SR main thread.

Your ire is misplaced, sir. Van Wreck is an NPC but not a Sea Rat. Fallen Angel and Wringe I (Both ESL) by pirate Zublious Van Wreck in the Ghost Harvester

Did you mean to emphasise 'NICKNAME'?

It would be a fair reason ESL had attacked AFTER the raid. (i.e. the next month) Shooting at a time when there are no open hostilities sorta negates the justification. And as Bregir has noted, it was a hostile action taken by the crown, as compared to one batshit crazy SR Captain, who shoots his own men. He can plead insanity, but what's ESL's argument? We thought Bloody Bill was with you?

Yunno, Khal Drogo died from an infected wound. Don't shrug off little 'flesh wounds'.

Established in 616 AE for the betterment of relations between Ténotclaxcan tribes and Corrington, headed by the amiable Mr. Townsend. This facility is located within the village of the Etalpalli, a Ténotclaxcan sub-tribe located south of the island of Annetta, closest to Port Raleigh. The architecture of this building is mostly native, with a little Corlandish design, courtesy of Merryweather Lumberjacks, Woodworks and Carpentry. Constructed entirely from natural materials, the hallmark of a Ténotclaxcan building is that its walls are not fully enclosed and there is no floor, except for the ground on which it was built upon. As their traditions and lifestyle are animism oriented, this deliberate design enables them to be at one with nature; minimal boundaries with the land and plenty of ventilation. In Etalpalli, all houses are built on the ground level and single level. The downside to this is that in periods of high rainfall, flooding may occur. When that happens, tribe members will evacuate their homes temporarily to seek higher ground. This is where Corlandish flavour comes in with a two storey building, thus providing continual shelter even in very wet seasons. Displayed prominently at the front wall of each house is a symbol of the tribe's patron animal, the bird. At CorTéx LaCRI, we have chosen a native bird, the Greater Horned Casabana, knowned for its constitution and resilience, to be our representative symbol. It is our wish that relations between Ténotclaxca and Corrington will continue to improve and have the resilience to withstand even the most trying of times. This symbol is, of course, a carving made of wood, as it is considered taboo to display any dismembered part of a patron animal, with exception of feathers. Being animists, the Etalpalli also practice a form of geomancy. The four lighted boulders you see are strategically placed to signify a relationship based on strong foundations and that will always burn brightly. Mr. Townsend: Good day, Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you for taking the time today to participate in our cultural study of the Ténotclaxcans. A lot of people have been asking about the 'outlandish' headgear that certain tribe members wear. Well, that will be our topic of discussion for today. Contrary to popular belief, the members do not wear their headgear all the time. In day to day life, they simply go without headgear, as you can see with our volunteers of the Etalpalli tribe, who sport shaven heads, men and women alike. The significance of the headgear itself can be likened to traditional family heraldry, such as those of the noble families in Corrington. The time when they are adorned is usually when there is an official function, such as a ceremony or a celebration, and also in combat, such that it serves to intimidate. As you might already know, our friends from the Etalpalli follow animist traditions, which is practiced by many Ténotclaxcans. Most tribes have their own patron animal, and for our friends here, their patron animals are birds. The headgear of each respective tribe will display an element from their patron animal. This lovely couple here has natural albatross feathers in their headgear. While this male couple *ahem*, has opted to colour the feathers in their headgear according to personal preferences. And now, we shall have a short recess. We have prepared some light refreshment in our little shelter. Please help yourselves. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to Faladrin for his endorsement.

Gasp! One might suspect subversive elements are planning to turn her into a république!

Indeed, sir, perhaps 96 by 96 would be a more sensible limit. But then, your stand of limiting only to crops, I cannot agree with. You are setting limits for yourself. You can build accessories like warehouses, servant's quarters, etc. An established plantation should have infrastructure. Nobody wants to see 150 acres of lego wheat. One might as well LDD copypasta to achieve that. But I would have to say, a 'representative' build is not enough if you want to play the MCRA. I can microbuild a town to 'represent' the whole settlement, but is it fair for me to MCRA it as a Royal Factory? I think not. The way you built the house and how it opens up, really adds that dimension of playability. Brought Sylvania to my mind :)

BrickOn, considering the elevation, I think it counts as a small plantation. It's never to late to licence it though. Your lovely 'doll house' however, *drools* I think is sufficient in size to be classed as a large if you added some facilities around the perimeter. A swing in the yard. A pond. That sort of thing.

Some good suggestions there, sir. Intentions may be good, but they should be considered carefully for balance, lest they be misconstrued as something else.

What are you, a doctor? Seriously though, there's very little lore about Mardier to tap on. It'll be good to have more info so that it can be represented accurately

Everyone thinks he's a Sea Rat, so no wonder the actual faction members are getting hammered for it

Scene 13 Port Raleigh, The Velvet Room Mr. Townsend: Good afternoon, Miss Miranda. You wished to speak with me? Miranda: Ah, Mr. Townsend. How good of you to come so quickly. I wanted to seek your academic advice on a certain matter relating to our neighbours. Mr. Townsend: Our neighbours? Miranda: As you are aware, there is an indigenous tribe living on this island, long before Eslandola or Corrington settled here. We have had a bit a conflict with them in the beginning, but that is starting to ease out. Mr. Townsend: Ah, those neighbours. Miranda: So yes, I was hoping if you would be willing to lead an initiative to study these natives and learn their culture, while at the same time, teach them Corlandish, so that we may better relations and expand trade. Corrington is here to stay, so I would prefer that our relations with the Texasclansmen are at their best. The Emporium will sponsor whatever you require, of course. Mr. Townsend: Ténotclaxcans. Miranda: That's what I said. Taximohicans. Mr. Townsend: No ma'am, Ténotclaxcans. Miranda: Okay. Technoclackens. Mr. Townsend: Ténotclaxcans. Miranda: Tenotclaxcans! Mr. Townsend: It's e with an acute accent. Ténotclaxcans. Miranda: *sputters* Ténotclaxcans!!! Mr. Townsend: Wonderful, Miss Miranda. Miranda: *Ahem* I take that you are willing to assist then? Mr. Townsend: Indeed, anthropology is of great interest to me. Miranda: Very good, sir. Please begin at soonest. Elliot will set you up with all that you require.

Lovely story, sir! About time we had a touch of romance in BoBS.

Interesting way of mounting the sails. I can't help but notice a snowflake like design on the sails. An allusion to the 'snow' rig? :D

So whenever a MOCed ship is lost, the MOC can be split 2 ways? One for he who captured it, and one for the original owner? That solves some problems for us indeed.

If there are business contracts signed, perhaps it falls under commerce? My own Velvet Room being a HQ for a commercial entity is licenced as commerce.

Awesome rendition of a cocoa tree! I'm thinking some blutack there perhaps?

PART II [COR-MRCA] *After a fairly successful trade run, the Valkyrie was on her way back to Port Raleigh. The lookout is on the alert for pirates. Velvetine: Well, we seem to have a decent haul this month. Renato the Steersman: Aye Captain, the hurricane prevented us from leaving port last month, but we have evaded her path this time round. Lookout: Ahoy Captain, men adrift spotted off port! Velvetine: Men adrift? They must have been taken by the hurricane or pirates. The waters these days are full of treachery! Renato, turn to port. We're picking them up. Renato: Aye, Captain. *As the Valkyrie approaches, the shipwrecked captain waves. Sailor B: Here, grab on! Wrecked Sailor: I thought we were goners...

The new ruling is that you do not have to rebuy a licence for a class 1 or 0 for this purpose, so this eliminates the need for having to dump ships just so you can recover your class 2. But what I think Kai is saying is that you need to unlicence, relicence so that the automaton can record it correctly? More clarification needed on this protocol.

Lovely fort you have there. It's gives off the classic lego feel. Not too over the top MOC-ish.

She was wrecked in an engagement with L'Olius while sailing through a hurricane! ... or so that's how the other rumours go...

Lovely mercantile scene. The Emporium would love to acquire something like this.

Well, pirates they may be, I just thought it would be fair to differentiate the faction from the independent NPCs. The 'threat' they pose might be severely misrepresented when you lump in notorious hoods like Bloody Bill and Van Wreck. It's like going after Jack Sparrow instead of Blackbeard
