==Description==

==History of BoS==
  
BoS, short for Bay of Swedes, is a community started by a group of swedish people that thought the area looked like a good place to settle on. To this date it has expanded from a single safehouse into several homesteads and villages. They have have a good communication with their closest allies Mesa Verde and Tenakill. It is not ruled by a single individual, such as a mayor, but instead is held together by a sense of friendship and comraderie. The inhabitants regulary comes together to work on larger projects.
+
As remembered by the inhabitants.  
  
=====Features=====
+
The story of BoS actually starts without any of its current members, with a fellow by the name Amader. He, in turn, attracted Solver to the game and Einnel, Daash, Theacke, Madboy, Rmt and Tottman were soon to follow. The site where we all settled down was dubbed Wolf Hill (first incarnation), due to the frequency of said lupine at the site, even though it was too close to Serenity Port for an actual deed to be planted without permission. We asked for that from the Serenity Port mayor, but were rudely denied and so eventually we packed up and left for other lands.  
* A [[Colossus]] looking down on the bay.
 
* Highway leading directly to NT. It is considered public, but the creators reserve the right to change it at any time. Its current look is a 2-tile cobblestone road with gravel on the sides. ['''Some parts still unfinished''']
 
* A nice looking harbour with docks for both large and small ships/boats. It is meant to be used by BoS members only. If you want to station/dock a boat there you are recommended to ASK first.
 
* All roads in BoS are 2 or 3-tile wide, but these, unlike the NT road, are '''NOT public roads'''. These roads are constantly undergoing changes.
 
* Most of the settlements are close to water and encompass the complete coastline of the bay.
 
* All the regular convenient resources are available, such as clay, tar and peat.
 
  
=====Founders of BoS=====
+
Amader, together with his RL friend Madonna, went separate ways from the rest of us and settled in the far north while the rest of us finally found ourselves at a tranquil bay in the south, approximately SSW of Mesa Verde, where we settled down and founded the Bay of Swedes in December 2007.  
*[[Player:Daash|Daash]], [[Player:Einnel|Einnel]], [[Player:Gustavl|Gustavl]], [[Player:Lillmad|Lillmad]], [[Player:Madboy|Madboy]], [[Player:Rmt|Rmt]], [[Player:Solver|Solver]], [[Player:Theacke|Theacke]] and [[Player:Tottman|Tottman]].
 
  
=====Local chat guidelines=====
+
Bay of Swedes (second incarnation) was the name of our community, as most of us wanted their own homestead deed and founded them separately. With time, our reputation on the Home server grew and our gathering became widely known. During this time some of our members stopped playing, but most remained. Several ambitious projects were attempted, and some even completed ;), and by the end of its time the bay had been transformed into a lush park of walkways, flower fields and oak tree groves. Supplies of Champ enchanted tools and iron lumps in QL70-95 were never a problem with the close connections we had with others (for example Udgaard).  
People of many ages inhabit the bay, and the languages spoken most frequently are swedish and english. Regular chat regulations are naturally being followed, however the inhabitants wish to apologize beforehand to the non-swedish speakers that happen to pass by if they feel left out of the loop when swedish is being spoken.
 
  
=====Settling down in BoS=====
 
  
If you would like to settle down in, or around, the bay, the inhabitants ask that any newcomers follow a few rules.

It was not ruled by a single individual, such as a mayor, but instead held together by a sense of friendship and camaraderie. The founders where [[Player:Daash|Daash]], [[Player:Einnel|Einnel]], Gustavl, [[Player:Lillmad|Lillmad]], [[Player:Madboy|Madboy]], [[Player:Rmt|Rmt]], [[Player:Solver|Solver]], Theacke and [[Player:Tottman|Tottman]]. They regularly came together to work on larger projects.
  
*Before building, ask your neighbours so you don't spoil existing projects. For example:
 
**Chopping down wooded areas where specific trees have been planted.
 
**Building your house on an area designated for future expansion by someone else.
 
**Open up mines that crosses already existing ones. Dropshafts are a benefit to noone.
 
*Remember that all players in BoS will need to be independent when living there. Therefore:
 
**Do not make demands of your neighbors, or consistently ask for things. The inhabitants are happy to help, but not on your terms.

The members started out with the thought of independent places in the bay. Before the KvK raid where implemented most members of BoS had some kind of deed. Villages size 5([[Kendra]]:[[Player:Solver|Solver]] and Oppboga:[[Player:Madboy|Madboy]]). Homestead size 5(Arboga:[[Player:Tottman|Tottman]], Fellingsbro:Minimad, [[Guldsmedshyttan]]:[[Player:Rmt|Rmt]], Magrathea:[[Player:Daash|Daash]] and Nora:Aske).  One decided to stay undeeded(Einnels mansion:[[Player:Einnel|Einnel]]).

When Rolf implemented KvK raids, we realized that none of the deeds were suited for defense since they were built to have easy access and look good. Instead of demolishing and rebuilding all the deeds we joined forces in founding a new size 10 village and naming it Fort BoS. From an Island of 5x6 tiles it was enlarged into a 19x19 tiles flat area. We then built a tower in the middle and Ql80 walls around the edge. With no land bridge, boats became our transportation between main land and the island.

Jenn-Kellon home settlement

This was a Jenn-Kellon (white light) settlement on the now deleted home server.


History of BoS

As remembered by the inhabitants.

The story of BoS actually starts without any of its current members, with a fellow by the name Amader. He, in turn, attracted Solver to the game and Einnel, Daash, Theacke, Madboy, Rmt and Tottman were soon to follow. The site where we all settled down was dubbed Wolf Hill (first incarnation), due to the frequency of said lupine at the site, even though it was too close to Serenity Port for an actual deed to be planted without permission. We asked for that from the Serenity Port mayor, but were rudely denied and so eventually we packed up and left for other lands.

Amader, together with his RL friend Madonna, went separate ways from the rest of us and settled in the far north while the rest of us finally found ourselves at a tranquil bay in the south, approximately SSW of Mesa Verde, where we settled down and founded the Bay of Swedes in December 2007.

Bay of Swedes (second incarnation) was the name of our community, as most of us wanted their own homestead deed and founded them separately. With time, our reputation on the Home server grew and our gathering became widely known. During this time some of our members stopped playing, but most remained. Several ambitious projects were attempted, and some even completed ;), and by the end of its time the bay had been transformed into a lush park of walkways, flower fields and oak tree groves. Supplies of Champ enchanted tools and iron lumps in QL70-95 were never a problem with the close connections we had with others (for example Udgaard).


It was not ruled by a single individual, such as a mayor, but instead held together by a sense of friendship and camaraderie. The founders where Daash, Einnel, Gustavl, Lillmad, Madboy, Rmt, Solver, Theacke and Tottman. They regularly came together to work on larger projects.


The members started out with the thought of independent places in the bay. Before the KvK raid where implemented most members of BoS had some kind of deed. Villages size 5(Kendra:Solver and Oppboga:Madboy). Homestead size 5(Arboga:Tottman, Fellingsbro:Minimad, Guldsmedshyttan:Rmt, Magrathea:Daash and Nora:Aske). One decided to stay undeeded(Einnels mansion:Einnel).


When Rolf implemented KvK raids, we realized that none of the deeds were suited for defense since they were built to have easy access and look good. Instead of demolishing and rebuilding all the deeds we joined forces in founding a new size 10 village and naming it Fort BoS. From an Island of 5x6 tiles it was enlarged into a 19x19 tiles flat area. We then built a tower in the middle and Ql80 walls around the edge. With no land bridge, boats became our transportation between main land and the island.


One week before the freedom server opened, the remaining members each packed a boat and traveled south. We made camp on an island on the outskirts of the map waiting for the border to open. On opening day we all set sail looking for a new place to plant the BoS concept. We found an island suitable for our needs, and named it BoS Island
