I haven’t checked my in-game mail in so long I thought I would tackle it today, one of the players has been offline 6 months so it’s got to have been 6mo since I last checked it.

Since I cant just click to reply to people, I’m going to do a blanket reply to all as none of them actually needed to be a mail to me.

Most of this was sent with MUCH longer sentences over 4-5 mails to get to one basic point, I have trimmed down the questions/requests.

1. Can you reset the world? No.
2. Can you add maps to ships? No.
3. You are invited to an Elven party at the Woodland kingdom next Sunday (I may have missed this by 6mo).
4. Can you make more ships at cove? Sounds like a good idea, but not any time soon, Im open to all builds on the Creative server! Pirate themed please!
5. Can you give me a /nick? No.
6. Can you restore my rank to sailor? Sure bud, its already sailor.
7. Will you expand the survival world? Nope, this size is the biggest it will be, I still want to add additional custom sea & island based worlds with a few different rules.
8. my playtime reset. Ask online staff
9. I heard you were auctioning off ketos cheated items, can I bypass this and send you some in-game money to buy specific item XYZ? No.
10. op? Err no
11. my Stats have been reset! No they haven’t the server spazzed out and needed to restart.
12. The spamming is still happening? What spamming?
13. Can i have help with a claim? Sure make a forum post

15. Merry Xmas from SmokinSoldier! Merry Christmas to you too SmokinSoldier!

17. Sorry my little sister annoying you, shes a big crykid. My little brothers a crykid too (hes like 26yrs old)
18. Nuuuuuu. oh no!
19. I found an Afk pond at XYZ. Thanks solved.
20. Can you make a sword in dark bold red for me? No.
21. Will you reset the server? No.
22. my playtime reset. Ask online staff.
23. How do you claim auc items if you win? /auc collect
24. If I want to start a bank or investment bank, to loan out money with interest can staff make people pay back or lose something as collateral? No.

AppleJK reminded me during a conversation a few weeks ago that the active crew list needs updating. So I’ve prepared a new list in time for new year 2017.

First off, I’d like to make some points clear:

1. This is based off data from the 28th and 29th December 2016. It is entirely possible that people have changed crews, come back from inactivity or founded new crews in the meantime.
2. The crews are ranked alphabetically (omitting “The” from the title). The listed players are all the crew members who have been active in the past 30 days. They are listed chronologically with the active crew leaders at the beginning. Anyone who hasn’t been active in that time frame is not included. That includes crew leaders.
3. The crew names are spelt as they are in-game, including typos and spacing issues. I might have typed some of the player names wrong, but please don’t rip my head off because of that. I can’t help it if someone named themselves something untypable like xXxn3P4HanTeeM7824xXx…
4. There are a LOT of crews I don’t know anything about. Feel free to post more information below!

So, on to the list!

The government of the British Empire hereby denounces build1115’s attempts at slandering the British Empire’s reputation. In recent times he has been making an assertive effort to portray past events in a false light. His purpose is to defame the British Empire in front of friends and foe alike and damage longstanding ties.

In contrary to build1115’s claims, 13C and BE have always enjoyed a very close and trustworthy alliance. Indeed, we have even led a unique “special relationship” (which does not involve adult activities in any shape or form).

Our two crews share both a similar theme and a similar mentality. We share 17th century “golden age of piracy” theme with similar architecture and similar uniform skins. We are both fiercely advocates of freedom and democracy. We have mutually fought side-by-side in almost every conflict since we entered our relationship. We have connected the British colonies of Canada, Karjat, Whiskey Peak and Fort Fang to the northern 13C territories with a vast road network. We have supported 13C in reaffirming themselves against USE (United States Empire).

In spring 2016, before the implementation of /a chat, 13C crew leader NickyB_123 approached the BE and proposed that 13C merge with BE. He would continue to lead 13C, but both crews would share one private chat together. The proposal passed in a referendum and 13C was permitted access to BE forum space. NickyB_123 received an honorary position in the British government with the same rights as a Lord of the British Empire.

Soon thereafter, the crew plugin was updated with the new feature of /a chat. This meant the merger between BE and 13C for coordination purposes was no longer relevant. NickyB_123 asked the government whether 13C could split off again so as to grow his crew independently. There was a referendum and it was universally accepted that 13C should be allowed to leave.

Around about the same time, there was a war going on between Templar and BE. BE hoped that LoN (BE, EE, 13C, XE, IE, LR) would stick together as they had in the past to defend against the aggressor. However, only EE and 13C agreed to help, the other crews refused to take a side in the war or even leaned more towards supporting Templar. While it was stated in the LoN charter that providing military assistance was voluntary, it had up until then been commonly accepted that LoN members should stick up for each other before any other crew.

Recognising that this alliance was no longer bilateral, the majority of the British population voted in favour of “BExit” – to leave LoN and continue pursuing closer ties with equal partners such as EE and 13C. After BE left LoN, so did 13C, then EE. Then XE, IE and LR merged into the “Xanthian Empire” and the elves decided to stay after all.

Back to the topic at hand. In all of this, the BE never in any shape or form attempted to “rule small crews”, or act as “tyrants”. We adhere to values of truth and fairness and expect our allies to follow the same moral standards.

Thus, we denounce build1115 for trying to damage our relationship with his demagogue rhetoric. As a former government member of the British Empire, we expected more from him.

Date:
28.11.2016

Two weeks have passed since the British Empire’s fourth general election. The time is ripe to present the new government of late autumn 2016. This is relevant both to citizens of the empire as well as foreign nationals who wish to take up contact or negotiate with the government.

For those who don’t know, two candidate duos squared off against each other in the latest hard-fought election. Bislo1 and Gildor_stinky ultimately achieved majority support over BGraph and Mountainrasta. Thus they were sworn in as Prime Minister and Vice Prime Minister for the next six months.

Today we take great pleasure in presenting our new government graphic, which will be updated on the BE’s wiki page for all to see:

So without further ado I would like to present to you:

Bislo1 – Prime Minister

Bislo will be serving his second term as leader of the British Empire. It is his duty to ratify treaties, speak for the crew as a whole and present declarations of war. Under his guidance, the empire shall sail for uncharted territory.

Gildor_stinky – Vice Prime Minister

Gildor_stinky shall serve as the Prime Minister’s right-hand man. When Bislo is offline, Gildor serves the chief spokesperson of the British Empire.

PaulOnFire – Election Commissioner

I shall be serving my fourth term as Election Commissioner of the British Empire. It is my duty to ensure the lawful conduct of free and fair elections as well as referendums within the crew.

Turkeyman11a – Minister for Defence

Turkeyman shall serve as the chief military supervisor of the empire and ensure that that we all keep our uniforms prim and proper. He will take command in all PvP related issues with foreign individuals who pose a direct threat to the BE.

BGraph – Minister for Justice

Bgraph shall be serving his second term as Minister for Justice and will be taking care of all domestic crime. Violations committed against British laws are his domain.

Lazydog11 – Minister for Recruitment 

Serving her third term as Minister for Recruitment, Lazydog11 will be keeping our population in check and training the new recruits to the best of her abilities.

JamesWClark – Home Secretary

JamesWClark will be taking a leading role in British construction projects and securing resources within the Empire. Under his direction, we’ll come to implement many of our ideas and plans yet undeveloped.

Mountainrasta – Foreign Secretary

In the absence of both Bislo and Gildor, Mountainrasta will be first in line when dealing with foreign crews. He will consider proposals to ally the BE and maintain relationships with our long-standing allies.

SmokinSoldier – Chief of Police

SmokinSoldier shall serve as our spiritual sheriff, helping BGraph to track down criminals and bring them to justice. He may choose police officers to help him in his endeavours.

Oktacraft – Chancellor of the Exchequer

Oktacraft shall be responsible for increasing the wealth of the British Empire and providing secure storage for our treasure.

Bazurka – Lord

Under the First Amendment of our charter, the Amendment of Lords, citizens who were in government but who no longer occupy an official government position may remain in parliament after each election so long as they renew their application as a Lord to the new Prime Minister. Bazurka has done so and will continue to assist the government as a counsellor. He may participate in government votes.

Lord_Hamsfield / CrazyPirate1 – Lord

The founder of the British Empire, Lord_Hamsfield, will be serving his second term as a Lord alongside Bazurka.

Dismissal of Lords:

Michty and Edori_an shall no longer serve as Lords of the British Empire. We thank you both for your long and honourable services. You are welcome to return any time should you feel inclined to do so.
