GREAT NEWS FOR FISHERS

From Jeremy--FoF Question

I'm a fisherman - why would I want to turn in SoSes and MiBs instead of using them?"

Actually, you probably won't. With the next revision of the turn-ins (next week) pre-chest loot will be worth 250 points apiece, and the chest might contain a Fishing Net which is worth more points. Also, the Ghost Anchor and the Seahorse will be worth 25,000 points as well!

Great Lakes Net Toss!

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

Captain Gem and her merry band of fisherfolk will be hosting another of their famous free net toss events on Sunday June 1 at 8:00 p.m. CST/9:00 p.m. EST at the Buccaneer's Den docks. Gates will be provided from the West Britain bank.

FCB crewmate Amari explains: "FCB tosses fishing nets into the sea, and the monsters ensue. The public is free to kill all they wish and enjoy the loot. We provide free rezzes at the end of the dock (many will need it)."

Sherrif Lord Balthazar reminds the public that we ask that NO pets or Summoned creatures be used as it reduces the fun for the populace.

Lady Lisolette grinned "The whole crew is looking forward to the mayhem. Maybe the citizens will appreciate how tough we fisherfolk must be to survive the perils of the sea!"

Curly is Losing His House Again

Once again, FCB Great Lakes Captain Gem has decided that resident Bad Boy Curly must be punished. Curly has been harassing other crew, especially poor (and lovely) FiFi LaForge. Several members have reported various acts of insuborination and mutiny on Curly's part.

Gem announced "We had to do this once before and Curly started sailing straight for awhile. Sadly, I have decided that we must punish Curly once more.Therefore, this coming Sunday night, we will gather at his house beginning at 9:00 p.m. CST and we will drop his house. All of his furnishings, rare items, and gold will fall to the ground to be lototed by members of the public. We will have gates from the Britain Main bank. His house is east of Minoc, just after you cross the bridge on the road its south along the water."

When asked why Curly has been allowed to remain in the Fishing Council of Britannia, Gem shrugged and began muttering something about a promise she had made long ago to Curly's father after an incident with a kraken.

Sunday Slaughter on Great Lakes

Sea Serpent Slaughter

Fleet Captain Gem of the Fishing Council of Britannia (FCB) assembled her motley (and mottled) crew.

“It is long past time for us to hold another of our famous net tosses. ‘Tis time for some madness and mayhem.” Well-known scalawag Curly perked up at the mention of mayhem…

Tucker said “Great Cap’n, but they may not all know what happens at a net toss.”

Balthazar replied “We will just need to explain that we toss many nets to deep sea from the docks and the sea monsters attack. We let the public keep the loot.”

Gem smiled, “Well then all they need do is come to the Buccaneers Den Trinsic docks at 8:00 p.m. Central Skies (9 EST) on Sunday January 6 and they will see.” Fish King said, “Remind them, no pets or summoned beings or barding, as it reduces the death and fun..”

Amari jumped up “Remind them there will be free resses at the end of the dock—because surely they will be in need of it.”

Gau added “The landlubbers will see for themselves why sea-farers are so tough.”

Die Spammers Die

Thanks to the estimable Fizban, and with advice from NatBrazil, I think we may finally have our forum spam problem "licked." (sorry...)

Sorry you must now answer an annoying question when you log onto the forum, but that's the price we pay for living in a spam-bot society.

Fish King jumped up “Remind them there will be free resses at the end of the dock—because surely they will be in need of it.”

KR 2D Changes

With the recent publish of the Kingdom Reborn 2D, there are some changes for fishers.

On a positive note, you can now see clearly on your "radar" map, whether the water is deep sea or not. Deep sea shows as a darker blue.

On a less positive note, one can no longer reach deep sea from the Maginica docks. This was very useful for fishers without boats and for holding public net tosses. We are crossing our fingers and hoping this is a bug, not a feature! We need at least one public dock where nets can be tossed!
