Tenants of Artificial Isle will recall that the lease terms all went through an extensive update a few months ago to reflect the changes with the addition of The Isle Of Lilliput and move to Blake Sea. The terms were again recently updated to version 3.2.0, with mostly minor changes that won’t affect most tenants and the addition of some amnenities under a new “Perks” section. Simple touch your auto-lease unit to get a copy of the latest version of the lease terms and have a look…
The focus of this post however, is on the Artificial Isle estate covenant (Which you can see in About Land or on the site here). The covenant has recently undergone a significant rewrite, if you were familiar with the old doc you’ll find it largely to cover the same issues but with different wording. All lease issues have been removed from the covenant as the lease terms documents handle those fine, and the covenant is now more of a behavioral guideline. There are also some new specifics events that take place in the estate, by they general or combat oriented events. There is also new language more explicitly granting liberty to visitors who wish to take pictures and/or film machinima. The covenant as always is mostly common sense matters, but it’s spelled out for the sake of clarity should there be any confusion.

AETHER SALON. Presented by Jasper Kiergarten (on his CSS Hunley build) and Hotspur O’Toole (the History of Submersibles to the 19th century) Slides and link to transcript are HERE.
(Bookworm Hienrichs took some photos, here they are)
I was very happy to be part of the Aether Salon program, along with Mr. Jasper Kiergarten. The program was very well attended, and the questions quite lively and fun. It’s a rare day that YHN gets a chance to expostulate on a subject he holds dear like this. I enjoyed participating and hope to do so again at some point in the future.
Jasper quails a bit at the large crowd

Naval Reserve Contingent
As some of us might (at first) have trouble filling out a roster for battles, and as there are many people serving in the diverse and variegated fleets of other nation-states in the Steamlands, let it be proposed therefore to create the rank of
RESERVE CAPTAIN
as a post for a naval officer serving in a fleet from any other land, should he or she be willing to temporarily assist your fleet with the execution of a battle.
Reserve Captains have all the rank, responsibilities and duties given to a regular Captain, but will only wear the uniform and flag during the course of a battle when they are needed.
Using this method, when future “nation versus nation” battle scenarios are being consdered, a Commodore might more easily fill out his ranks for a single engagement.
Please respond with your thoughts on the matter.
Your Servant,
Hotspur O’Toole
Commodore
Fleet of Wrath Exiles
