Great News for Legends
LegendsAhoy!

My name is Charity and I'm the new Fleet Captain of the Fishing Council of Britannia (FCB) - Legends Fleet. I have been a member of the FCB on Legends since 2004. When our previous captain, Zippo, decided to retire, we discussed my taking over the fleet to try and keep us afloat. Sadly, do to a mail ship lost at sea, our messages were never received before his departure. After over a years time, word finally got through to Gem who immediately responded with joy upon hearing my requests. I asked that the Legends fleet not be forgotten, that we were still here and have just been floating by waiting and hoping someone would finally get our messages.

I know that this will be difficult, as Legends is a small shard of our great lands, but I promise that I will make sure the community here still knows we exist and what the FCB is all about. With any luck, surviving members will help me do this task. I hope that one day our crew will grow and return to the familiar atmosphere of family and friendship we once had.

Great Lakes Free Ferry Service resumes!
Great LakesNow announcing the rebirth of the FCB Free Ferry! Right now, a small fleet (4 for now) of boats have been placed around Sosaria and Tokuno for the express purpose of public use. Whether it be for fishing, skill gain, or just cruising the waters of our fair lands, we have a boat for you. Boats can currently be found in their homeports of New Haven, Hakoto-Jima (in front of Sea Nymph's Seaside Shop), Nujel'm, and Serpents Hold. More locations will be added in the near future once we find out if the service will be used.

Inside the hold is a book, feel free to leave your ferryman a message, as he/she will be checking them when they refresh the boat and drive it back to port.

*disclaimer* FCB is not responsible for people getting lost or killed while on our ships. Use them at your own risk. But face it, it's Trammel, what's the worst that could happen? *end disclaimer* Thanks to FCB Crewmate Katrina for setting up this service!

Great Lakes Boat Race a Success!
Great LakesEM Malachi did a fine job of hosting an excellent event.

Fish King did the steering (after Gem's disastrous start), Katrina was our eagle-eyed lookout, Aridas handled the book (more on that later), and Gem took a swim....Poor FK had three women telling him where to go! Ouch!

We had to visit many spots, including Bucc's den (and the smuggler caves below), Serpent's Hold (where we had to kill a fire steed), New haven (picking up peppercorn steaks), Nujel'm (feeding Tim in debtor's prison), a quick visit to Dagger Island, and the finish line at Moonglow.

Although we came in second (out of...ummm..two...) we had a fine time.  EM Malachi says these may become regular events and we say "Bring them on! We shall win next time!"

It's Another Net Toss!
Great LakesIt's Another FCB Net Toss!

Also known as a Sea Serpent Slaughter, this is a free public event at the Buccaneer's Den docks in Trammel. It will be held
Sunday Dec. 21 at 9:00 p.m. EST.

The fishers of the FCB donate hundreds of nets, and we toss them off then end of the dock. Much murder and mayhem ensures!
Rezzing is available at the end of the dock (you'll need it!).

To make it more fun, we ask that you do NOT use pets, summoned creatures, or provocation.

Turn In News!!!
Great LakesGREAT 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!
FCB General News
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!"
