Description

BoS, short for Bay of Swedes, is a community started by a group of swedish people that thought the area on Jk-Home looked like a good place to settle on. During there time on the server it had expanded from a single safehouse into several homesteads and villages. The had good communication with their closest allies Mesa Verde and Tenakill. It where 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. On the first week of freedom server starting the inhabitants each packed a boat and traveled south looking for a new place to plant the BoS concept.

Local chat guidelines

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.

• 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.
