Because if MCTC wants to do that, it has to benefit all their members. Right now, only the lucky ones who made already a lot of money will enjoy those extra benefits as the others are not able to buy multiple shares... But that's not my problem, you are right. I am happy to be leader of a TC where we actually take care of all members... The only problem I got with this, is that there is no way MCTC can have 1500 db's

I love it! Such a gracious ship, with exactly the right look as you described in your story! I am also honoured to hear Margot inspired you building this ship and seeing Purple Rain in LDD! You made my day :)

So technically seen, we can start licencing stuff like this: Licence cost 100 db Yield 20 db 1 share for 50 db each and yield 18 db/month Trade company pays also 50 db a month and is happy with 2db yield? This is gaming the system, but I am very happy to know it will be legit...

1500 db? No way MCTC has this in their coffers..

If I am correct, yield every month is 500. Divided by 20, this makes 25 shares. Licencing cost is 3000. Cost of a share is 50. 25x50 makes 1250. So MCTC has to pay 1750 db out of its coffers???

Wait a minute, there is as far as I know no place in the new world big enough to be allowed a royal factory?

Amazing story and very well accompanied by the pictures! It was a lot of fun reading it :)

Before friday I make a MOC showing someone selling green flags in an Oleon city :D

Me too... Daamned, MAESTRO really wanted that ship to stay competitive with MCTC as they can licence a sistership... Looks like our bid of 405 wasn't high enough...

If I am correct, MCTC still can sisterlicence the HoE if they don't manage to win the bid (and I would suggest adding a rule: and if the winning bid is higher than the initial licencing cost)???

hahaha, I know she is a female :p Sorry Kai, it's not bad meant...

well, this was the result => some extra pics can be found in that topic! I am really happy she survived the transport. I really enjoyed the praise of the public admiring her

For sure Kai may do this :) If he needs help sometimes, most of the stuff posted are known to me (but I got other things to manage here already, so I wanna just be an assistant :p )

Hahaha :D Well, we make up for it in Antwerp when you participate there :p

Hahaha, great job! Some general notes: - Margot was transported in one piece and she survived the transport twice - for Antwerp, I'll have a lay-out plan. Not everyone appreciates my "we'll see what we do when we are there" approach :p especially not because I was a little late in set-up hahaha :p - I promise also to have dustfree ships in Antwerp :p - Margot has moved in the lay-out to every corner, without collapsing masts. The ships of Sebeus were labelled as "can't touch this" :p - I still think purple is a nice colour for a ship... Haters gonnna keep hating :p - the animals of Sebeus (yes they were magnificent) don't like minifigs... It was ofcourse a nice opportunity for us to put a minifig on his island every time Sebeus wasn't watching :p

The death of King Stephan is the prelude to the beginning of the legends of Captain Sebeus, the once very promising Oleon admiral who is now a pirate! All about it can be read here Oh, also, sorry Oleon we captured a vessel... we didn't know then Captain Sebeus went rogue. We thought Oleon declared us war... If you want, you can have it back when tensions are over

More important things to discuss right now as it has been a most interesting weekend! You can read it all here!

Updated with Brickmania Wetteren & Oakwood Retirement Home Family Day event. Please don't forget to post your own lay-outs here!! Also, for Brickmania Antwerp, we are going for the hugest Pirate collab ever seen, so mark 12 & 13 November in your agenda and come to Belgium to visit or even participate!!!!

Participants: Maxim I (ESL), TitusV (ESL), Tomsche (COR), Sebeus (OLE), LJ Hornblower (Nat), Peter G. (Pirates) Story 1: Flotilla In Need On a chilly morning, Lord Damaximus and his fiancee Margot, Lady Elysabeth and Lord Smaugton were doing business in Quinsville. After talking recent politics and the death of King Stephan of Oleon, the Eslandolans boarded their ships and set sail. The Purple Rain and Golden Star headed for Elysabethtown to take in provision for their further voyage. The ship passed some of the newly discovered islands (especially the one with the cannibals was interesting)... The so peacefull voyage stopped abruptly when the two shipped crossed the "Beatrix" and "Pegasus", both ships under command of promising Oleon admiral Sebeus. Out of the blue, the Beatrix started firing at the Purple Rain.... Luckily for the "Purple Rain" and "Golden Star", the Eslandolan flagship "Margot" set sail out of Elysabethtown... The moment the crew of "Beatrix" saw the "Margot" getting near, they stopped their fire and tried to flee ... Together with the "Margot", the Eslandolan flotilla managed to arrive safely in Elysabethtown... Story 2: The Arise of Pirate Captain Sebeus Back in his young days, Sebeus dreamed of being the greatest Oleon admiral ever. As a young kid, he always played with wooden ships and knew the tricks of sailing better than most so called captains... His talents didn't remain unknown, and he was spotted by the high admirallity of Oleon. King Stephan himself took care of the boy and tought him everything he knew. Due the many hours spent together, Sebeus saw King Stephan as his Godfather. So the moment King Stephan died due to a mysterious reason, Sebeus felt betrayed by his Oleon brothers and went rogue. He took the "Beatrix", the ship he was promised to command one day and together with the "Pegasus", they set sail to the unknown. The first vessels they came across were flying the "Eslandolan flag". 'Perfect' Sebeus thought as he had heard the rumours of the Eslandolan King claiming the Oleon throne. After the first salvo, someone was suddenly yelling "Margot". Sebeus got a chill. Even with the "Beatrix", he had was match against the pride of Terra Versa, so he ordered to stop firing and set sail again. He also knew he would not be welcome in Oleon's society anymore. And thus he started the legend of Captain Sebeus, the new terror of the Brickseas... [OOC] as many have noticed, real life Sebeus is not that active anymore due to real life. Still, he was very surprised to hear the King of Oleon had died as it was named after him and he set up Oleon. As he will still be too busy the upcomming months, he proposed to become a NPC pirate captain (like Bloody Bill for example). He hopes to get amnesty when he has building time again... So at Ska, you got a new Pirate Captain to add in the next MRCA!!! Story 3: The revenge on an Oleon Trader Not long after the previous events, a group of Eslandolans managed to sneak by a small Oleon Trade ship and captured it. The moment they went aboard, the Oleon cowards surrendered. [OOC] we asked first permission if we may capture the ship. Yes Tomsche, we Eslandolans first ask if we MAY capture a ship instead of just capturing it.... The BoBS lay-out at Brickmania Wetteren 2016 I hope you enjoyed the pictures!! It was a very nice weekend! Next Brickmania Bobs Lay-out: Limburg (Belgium) 27 & 28 august. More BoBS lay-outs can be found here

Blablablabla :p She arrived back home again very safely and in one piece (eat that Sebeus muhahaha) :D

Well with driving Like an old lady so every now and then :p the rigging is not detatchable at all, so I was surprised myself she survived it :D

Breaking news: Oleon's Beatrix went rogue after death of King Stephan and fired at Eslandola flotilla: https://flic.kr/p/FbB36q Full report coming tomorrow!

They are talking about what if the class 1 or class 0 was your original free licence. :) If you paid for those ships, there is no problem :)

Well, technically they are pirates. Even sea rats can attack eachother. That's why they are independent pirates. Don't forget also the PC Sea Rats started raiding villages. So for me, they all are pirates (also called sea rats).
