    It makes more sense if you consider 1,2&3 to be the hilt :D it is a sabre swooshing down

    I guess to mark the difference between Oleon and Corrington Glad I am Eslandolan, most of my captains wear golden epaulettes

    [MOC] a fort.

    Maxim I replied to Skipper's topic in Pirate MOCs

    One day, I hope to make a fort like this! This looks so realistic and well-excecuted!

    The Black Star

    Maxim I replied to Nipo's topic in Pirate MOCs

    A very beautifull ship you made Nipo! It looks very solid and I love the details you put into it! Hope to see more of you in the future!

    A very nice way to illustrate your story!! Damned, I need to choose another victim...

    Hooray Easter!!! :D

    Hahaha, it was a bad idea of me to read this at work. Gniffling ensured with you :p "The WTC is looking for 9 scientist", only a couple pages after "only 9 scientist were eaten by the Rabbit"... Hillarious!!!
  13. Maxim I
    Hahaha the WTC is crashing the markets for sure :D Great job with this!! It does looks a bit modern though :p

    It would not be the first one published with these conditions, so I don’t see a problem with it (as member of the Naval Licencing Court). I’ll wait for the others to jump in, but I don’t see a problem here :p
  16. Maxim I
    Not yet :) we have around 10 vessels waiting to be licenced :p
  17. Maxim I
    I had to update it quickly, but this is the one of MAESTRO :)
  18. Maxim I
    That is amazing Bregir! If my sigfig wasn’t sailing somewhere in the far South, he would have attended! :)
  19. Maxim I
    I think this is a very nice solution brought by the leadership :)

    It is kinda interesting to see the Sea Rats having no problem with it I would be pissed if a "ghost"ship would capture/destroy my vessel... Because that is something that will happen as well that warships belonging to an inactive player will defend a tradefleet from hunters and capture the aggressor... Without those ghosts, the hunter would have had a greater chance to capture the vessel. Yes there are no winners in the world of BOBS. But a faction ruling the sea due their amount of Ghost ships is not encouraging for those who work very hard to maintain their fleet. Once again, if it is just about populating the sea, then we all should do it... The Sea Rats can controll the vessels of their inactive members (Jacob Nion pops in my head), the Corries controll the amazing fleet of Tomsche (who will never come back), and the Eslandolans strengthen their fleet with the vessels of Captain Green Hair (just to name one member in every faction that is not active right now. Let's not forget there are a lot more than those). But then I am pretty sure the Game Masters prefer a little more administration controlling the "Future Inactivity" topic then to handle 50+ more vessels in a MRCA... And please don't get me wrong, the build vessels can always be seized/acquired/lent by the faction the inactive player is belonging to. It would be indeed a shame that those wonderfull vessels of KBB would get lost if he never returns (I really really hope he would return as I miss his amazing work). --- So or we apply rules about ghost shipping or we allow and encourage everyone to manage the accounts of inactive members...

    @Bart: don't worry, I am not talking about blocking or freezing one's account. I am just talking about having the vessels be anchored for the time being inactive. Talking about land properties: KBB receives a very nice sum every month (property income), so even without vessels he should be very lucky when returning to BOBS. It is not a manhunt for KBB. But our leaders should recall a discussion from May 2017 where I adressed exactly the same Oleon behaviour... Seriously, we are almost one year later and nothing changed... If there are no steps taken, I'll really start gaming the whole EGS system. Just to screw with it. I am really pissed that all my advice is being laughed away by some leadership members (Bregir...)... If this was correctly adressed last year, this would not be a problem now... As said earlier, some stuff is overly protected (ship classes, which is a good thing), but then stuff like this still can happen. Rules about Royal properties are a lot more strict nowadays, but still people can use other players accounts to earn more... The rule can be very simple: Just make sure you comment (or sign in) at least once a month in the BOBS forum... Or make a statement that you will be away for x months and after those x months, your vessels will stay anchored... Again the same example: If I use Titus his account for 4 war vessels, it would spare me a lot of db's upkeep (as I would have 8 vessels otherwise instead of 4). I can call it "an agreement where I pay Titus a sum for his services, equal to double his lost upkeep". For me it still is cheaper then having those 4 vessels in my account. ====> This is gaming the system!!! Just like making any other vessel of an inactive player be part of your fleet...

    @Bodi But where does it stops? As said, there are at least 3 other members I can handle their ships for in the hope they will ever come back (and Titus for example will come back). But what is the advantage for Titus? None as he can’t spend the db’s as long as he is not active. What is the advantage for me? Well I can licence in his name 4 big warships and use them as my escorts... No upkeep for me (hooray!!!). I hope you do see how easy it is to game the system with accounts of inactive members. I really understand that life can jump in and demands all your attention, but when that happens (it already did in the past), the last thing on my mind are some vessels in an imaginary world... And if I am only inactive because I don’t have time to build, I still follow this forum. So reporting for duty should not be so difficult.

    I could live with that, but last time I heard someone of Oleon leadership, they had no idea where KBB was... Anyway, everyone plays the way they want to play the EGS, but it is not the first time I think this is gaming the system when players manage the vessels of other players who are not active. It is forbidden to licence a vessel a class higher than leadership thinks it should be, but then it is absolutely no problem to have the vessels of an inactive player sail along your ships... (bonus: free protection for your vessel + income for the faction)... I think the least a player who wants to join the MRCA should do (while being in a lesser active period) is to announce it in the topic that they will participate. Just give a sign of participation... Ghost ships are not good for keeping it fair for everyone. If this would be no problem for leadership, then I can send ships in name of Titus, Kabel, Captain Green Hair, etc... I have contact with them almost every day in real life and they would not mind. I do hope you see how this is gaming the system.

    I really really hate myself for asking this again, but can someone explain me how the vessels of KolonialBeamter are supposed to sail? His absence is very prominent in this forum, but still his fleet manages to sail around... Last time he visited Eurobricks was January 8th...
  25. Maxim I
    I talked about Aztecs because other did :p That was not directed at you ;)
