  1. Skulltooth Cove (X20 Y48) is a small community with two very active and dedicated members, YukiAkari and me (LordByte). (All are on GMT +1) We are looking for other dedicated members that can fill in the tasks left empty by their predecessors (or take over some of the multitude of tasks that are still open and filled by us by necessity). We're looking for players that have already proven, or are certain that they want to stick with the game, but we place no stock on skill values or age alone. Most important is that there's a match, that you fit in (we're not elitist ogres, if you're nice to be around you'll fit in ) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIc2Y-KzEGc Our philosophy You do what you like, in between you try to fill in the open tasks to help out with the others. If you're the primary (highest skill) you're expected to fill in a bit more, and if you're not: anything that gives skill to the primary is expected to be left to them. Again the most important part is that there's no pressure, we're here for fun foremost. Everything in the village is shared, and we expect it to stay that way, the locks are on the outside of the wall, so that our members can be free to do what they want and have the right tools to do it. We talk and we try to cooperate to make our village work and look nice! We're usually on Teamspeak and have a lot of very active players in other games, we expect mature behaviour, but we won't stick an age on it (though most of us are around 30). A microphone is expected and at least a little command of the English language. (Clarification: Our entire gaming community has been active on voice-communication in some form or another since 1998! We're used to it and have noticed that when there are others who aren't they tend to split off rapidly because it's much harder to make a bond between two sides using different communications). Our history We started out in december, a couple of friends had after much pushing by me started playing this instead of some other sandbox, so I had to get in fast... This is our story: We set out on a lone winternight, the four of us. Modzo and Creuss had already set out before but the wilds had taken them, luckily the spirits had pulled them back to Sloping sands. They were working hard when I walked through the portal. Shaping clay pots for water and preparing some basic tools. When Gazef arrived we set out, the plan was to travel northeast, there were untilled lands in the northeast, near an enormous lake that would supply us with fish, and possibly a new ship for our crew. The map was a rough drawing and wholly inaccurate as we found out. And the trek was harsh, and filled with dangers... Many times did we have to run back down from the hills we climbed, because giant spiders and mountain lions would attack us as we crested it. Then Creuss would bandage our wounds, but as supplies were running out we had to forage for more healing herbs and berries to keep us going. Wounds started to fester and we were losing hope when we finally got out of the wilds and the lands opened up to reveal a wide stretch of tundra... and WATER! Beautiful shining lakes in the distance, but many creatures blocked our path. We were running low on water and our wounds were bad so a fight was out of the question. "If we reach the water they will leave us alone." said Creuss. "We will never reach it, too many are in the way and the distance is too great to do in one run with our wounds" said another. But a plan was made and we would, attack a mountain lion and rat on our path, that would give us enough of a break to get to the water. We fought the creatures and luckily didn't take too much damage, allowing us to escape to the waters, chased by a multitude of spiders and hellhounds, but we made it! Now we started looking for a place. We found a seemingly abandoned iron mine, and made it our home! We were beautifully situated near a nice pond that supplied us with fish, in a dale between two large hills, with access to the southern lakelands, and the northern great lake. The mine was apparently from a neighbour a bit further on that we hadn't met in our first few days, but he allowed us to stay if we allowed him access, which we did. We toiled hard, and built many great buildings, the most fantastic one was a large stone inn, but the disadvantages were soon apparent, the beautiful forest I was planting with all the trees our area lacked, were ransacked often by others. Often without regard for their age. As more and more settled nearby our lack of settling rights was becoming an issue too. I traveled many times to Sloping Sands as I had found a hidden pathway that was safe to be used, and would get us past the many creatures safely, oftentimes for recruits of our old crew that had walked through the portal as we did, as we regaled them with tales of those wonderful lands, but the need for new lands and the wanderlust was great! One day Modzo finished a rowing boat and we set out to discover new lands, a new map had been created and we had spotted a very nice area in the far south. So we set out and pulled the mighty oars and sailed for days... We reached the area, we now call Skulltooth Cove safely and noticed while many parts were occupied, the most promising part (after a very steep climb) wasn't. We travelled back, picked up all that we would need to build a new and better village, bought a deed, and set out! I traveled for days bringing supplies and people over, and in a record time we settled the area, built a great wall that would keep our lands safe, and our forests pristine and an enormous mine-shaft was built towards the sea so we could enter our lands safely and easily! Many have left us for other strange lands, but me and YukiAkari still toil away, wishing for other to join us to keep Skulltooth Cove alive. And we still have to kill a dragon! What can we provide? We provide large tracts of deeded lands, on which you can build (or just use the beds in the hostel), all the materials you could want and need (all types of wood, massive quantities of plants, iron, copper, incredible amounts of zinc, marble, gold, silver, lead,...). Ships to travel to faraway lands, high quality tools (50+) and weaponry... Everything is walled and safe, and we can ship your items and goods (and yourself and any alts) to our lands. What are we looking for? We have a shipbuilder, farmer, blacksmith (YukiAkari) and woodcutter (me) (and both are skilled masons and carpenters and miners), all other jobs are open if you're up for them, but we're not specifically looking, just more people to enjoy the game with. Armoursmith, leatherworker, Alchemist (zinc into White paint anyone?), tailor.... would be nice to have though! How to contact us? If you're interested or have any questions, message LordByte on release, in this topic, or with the PM button.
