i've never even heard of space pirate captain harlock.

i watch girlie anime, basically. lol.

series i own or simply love or both:
Chobits
Witch Hunter Robin
Last Exile
Gantz (okie, no so girlie...but its interesting to say the least)
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun

Harlock is much a much older anime. I don't know if it would fit your style. I was just thinking of a possible angle for use as a player. Not with a "nation" but with a group that need a ship or two built. Need a purpose. And need not to get caught by the wrong countries navies.

Essentially the Pirate Harlock and his friends have been around in Wesworld, sometimes causing trouble, but mostly looking for a purpose and cause for there piracy. They live under the flag of freedom. The Wesworld Indians are making a film based on him.

(Essentally I've mixed several versions of the Harlock character to suit this time period. But since his creator, Leiji Matsumoto, likes old stlye things, he fits fairly well in this world.)

Regular version: Captain Harlock


Regular Version: Emeraldas


Regular Version: Tochiro Oyama


Young version: Captain Harlock


Gun Frontier Version (1890s): Harlock, Tochiro, Shinaola

Me too, same nickname as in this forum.

Please don´t turn this into an anime discussion or something. This thread is meant to allow players to introduce themselfs.

Thanks.

Just posing a possibility for a player "force" using examples. Could probably be better placed in the "I'm Wondering" Thread. If you like we could more these there.

hm. well move them then...?

Welcome to the board! Enjoy the show....

HoOmAn

Welcome Call of Valhalla.

Most of the decent NPCs are taken, but there are some really small ones like Bulgaria. However, you'll see some open bid design competitions, as well as just folks posting designs for comments.

On another matter- I seem to have missed the December posts, RA- what's hillwalking? Off trail backpacking? Ascending mountains you can hike up? I haven't seen the term before, though it sounds to close to work.

Hi Kirk,

Its all in the name: hillwalking = walking up hills. Usually when I'm somewhere I look on a map for the highest hill/mountain around and then walk up it. Why? To get to the top. It usually gives a good view if nothing else. Mostly it'll involve following a trail upwards but it depends where you are. In England that the done thing as there are access restrictions (in some places)

As an example; two shots from the top of Hill 834 in Iceland. No path up this one but the view was worth it. Shot 1 is looking towards Snaefjellsjökull. Shot 2 is looking down towards Grundarfjörður - you can't see the glacial hanging vally in between. IIRC it was a very clear day and we could see Rekjavik about 40-50miles away to the south. Apologies for the photo quality; it was a few years ago with an old camera. I'm going around Mt. Hekla and Mýrdalsjökull later this year.

But that is Iceland. There are no trees on the Island. Just grass. There isn't even much scrub birch. The Vikings came and cut down most of the trees. Now there is limited replantation but it just became so windswept that its hard to get started. I did see some trees; a copse of about 15m tall conifers next to a youth hostel. The owner said that during winter you can barely see their tops. It really is grim up north.

Folks,

this one´s for player information, not for holiday stuff.

Thank you.

Semper Fi, Devil Dog! Third Battalion H Company Parris Island circa 1982. Good to see another one around.

*Waves*

Introduced myself before, I think, but I might as well do it again. I'm a hyperactive ADHD obsessive-compulsive unmedicated adult, a bit of a geek for science fiction and history. Age... old enough to drink and by small arms, too young to get senior discounts or remember the day Kennedy died. I work at desktop publishing, mainly, and have some technical writing, advertising, web design, and a pretension to some graphic design skills.

Hmm, which science fiction stuff in particular?

Babylon 5, Firefly, Heinlein in moderation, Schlock Mercenary... I recently found a new author named Charles Stross who wrote a very good series called Singularity Sky and Iron Sunrise. I used to be quite into Star Wars and the expanded universe books before the prequels came out and ruined it all for me.

Which of course reminds me of Timothy Zahn - his book Icarus Hunt is perhaps one of my favorite books of all time. You're just reading along towards the end, expecting one thing, and BAM! He hits you over the head with the sledgehammer of plot resolution. I didn't see it coming even remotely, and I was so incredulous that I reread the book again and discovered he had set it up from the first page of the book. One of the most masterful pieces of fiction I have ever read, and HIGHLY recommended.

Both. I'm just a young pup, as things go.

(I kinda remember the Challenger, though.)
