    Default Greetings

    Hello all.

    I believe I must post here, before I can participate anywhere else. I am a long time member over at Wings of Glory Areodrome. I was very surprised (but pleased) to find this sister forum. I am interested though, in seeing all these people with advanced medals and ranks, with the game not even released? How did that happen. Did I miss the publication of the captians list? How many of you must die before I get a post? :)

    Cool

    Posting here does not include loss of life to my knowledge. Welcome aboard the Anchorage.

    Hey Irishman. Welcome to the Anchorage.

    Please note I only have one medal, which came from the SoG Kickstarter, and that's primarily because I'm a relative newbie here. These boards have been up a couple of years at least, which goes towards explaining why some folks have many posts and medals.

    Welcome aboard Irishman.

    Ranks are not based on loss of life, but loss of mind, as in the real military.

    I thought I saw a frigate with green sails on the horizon.

    Not a rule I had heard, but it sounds sensible... or maybe not

    It appears that rank is related solely to the number of posts or log entries you make, this also appears to be regardless of length, content, spelling, or literary skill, it seems that replying to each thread with a smiley is the way to advancement.

    Medals on the other hand appear to be largely as rank was in the military of the period, via purchase, go to the medals page and you will see what some of the gongs will cost.

    Also, click on some of the awards that others have to see how they were awarded, most posts (logs), starting threads etc, winning contests, posting pictures reviewing books possibly even attending shows?


    Welcome again

    The best way to get your first medal is to make a donation to help keep the Anchorage running.

    Thanks to all the friendly hellos. Seems like a nice bunch of chaps here. How has this board been going on for years... if the game was only created this year.. and has not been released yet? Was this a different board for a different game earlier?

    Bonjour, Irishman.

    Welcome on board. :g&t:

    The Anchorage prepared the arriving of Sails of Glory very well.

    See the former forum activity as miliary drill on a ship of the line in the harbour.

    As soon as we get the game in our greedy hands, the main actions start.

    I guess your right. Why should we get medals for not doing anything.

    Welcome Irishman, the board has been going for nearly two years and we've discussed a lot of Age of Sail topics whilst waiting for the game's release. There have been some wonderful ship modelling "how to" articles and plenty of historical context pieces to keep everyone interested. It's a great group and amazingly helpful and respectful, hope you enjoy it. :g&t:
