Join Today! Recruiting crew for our new ship!

[Kuciwalker]

Thank you, jdjdjd. The only reason I am making this deal is that only the Government has the resources to build this. Of course, if you ever need finances for any of your journeys, I would be happy to provide you with them. I am unsure about one thing, though. Are you planning on captaining the vessel?

Though not able to join, I would like to donate the tools, suplies, and equipment neccessary to set up a small branch for distribution of The Jungle Gazette on Uber Island. If there is still room aboard, that is. There will be plentiful banana's to transport it as well...

And who will be the commander of our forces once we set foot, we dont want nasty barbarians to rush in and kill us all do we!

Yes, with your help, as well as the rest of the crew.

I do not know what we find, but I will send the birds back to you with updates of our travels. Should Apolytonia expand to any far off land, then I am sure your paper can set up a post at that time.

I will, with the help of Skywalker and the rest of the crew. we will defend ourselves as best we can, but we are not on a military mission.

Wouldnt it be great if Uber isle was a 1 tile desert? That would be great.. and then Uber's name would forever be on something small and insignificant.

jd cubed;

I have been able to obtain the writing instruments and the supplies you have requested. Why you would want so many glass beads in beyond my understanding, but you message stated something about using them as "wam-pum".

The 5000 bottles of wine have been delivered to the shipyards, per request, although I had to request several guardsmen of Ubers to protect them from roudy shipbuilders.

I have commissioned several of our metal smiths to begin construction of longer versions of the iron knife I had forwarded to you (which we are calling a sword), however, as I understand it we will need to find a real source of iron before we will have enough to do more than assist our small scouting parties. If you encounter some of this mirical substance, please send one of those "Chickens" or whatever bird it was back with word. If you need anything else, please write. I am glad to hear that Dog is doing better.

desert is too good. Mountain. A small mountain, but a mountain non the less

I am confident that we, the crew, will return from Uber Isle with many new and exotic resources. Or, at the very least, several items that are scarce in jungle terrain.

oh by the way, we need a cartographer, is any of the crew one, Epistax, your one, will you join us?

[Kramerman]

I've made engineering schematics for catapults and other siege engines (being a military engineer i was), so if need be, I can improvise as a cartographer. All i need is a pencil, paper... err ... papyrus scrolls, and a compass... uh.... crap, we dont have those. I gues I can use the stars for reference.

Kman -
in the supplies I packed you should find a crude instrument called a sextant. This is a demonstration model, so please be careful. Until we can chart the stars, and come up with a form of NAVIGATION, I am afraid you will mostly have to rely on luck.

WOW! WE HAVE SEXTANTS??!! I didnt think we would have those until our wise men had discovered astronomy or something. Thanks GodKing! I shouldn't need much more than that! Being able to find our ship's relative latitude would be most helpful in mapping and exploring our world. I can't believe I'll get to hold such an advanced piece of technology.... its.... almost .... alien.... and its definately an honor.

[Kuciwalker]

I wonder if the ambassador from Phoenatica will give us this strange thing they call "GPS", which seems to tell you where you are at any time.
