    Looks like you've invested your recent millions extremely well, Mera'din. The roof library, of course, gets my full support, but the urinal amuses me most :)

    Given the membership of CPU, I'm sure they did flush ... It's probably less a question of what though, rather than who(m). I'd go check for nails and teeth clogging up the drain ;)

    Best Decorated Medium House: Crow's Nest Tavern (opening soon!) outside of Cove. tavern1.png

    It appears that after a few pre-opening rowdy pirate parties, the Crow's Nest is no longer pristine, but fit to accommodate the rough and tumble types. At least one body was removed when what started as a friendly game of cards ended badly as one pirate got his head lopped off for cheating. The bar was hand crafted from wood salvaged from the wreckage of the original pirate ship "The Revenge", an infamous pirate once sailed in these parts. Hard liquor not your thing? Take a drink from the trough outside, or try our fine dining. Our specialty is a soup cooked over the fire, "Chunky surprise", made from the finest imported meat. It might burn on the way down, and may have a kick, but 4 out of 5 pirates highly recommend it. The other died from severe digestive problems that were clearly unrelated to the food. Rumor has it the tavern will be ran by a fisherman who isn't too keen on being accused of being a former (or current?) pirate, and his gypsy lass. Rumors of their involvement with the disappearance of several nobles in the area is just pure speculation...

    Upstairs we have a dart board where you can try out your knife throwing skills, just watch where you're throwing them. You wouldn't want to put someone's eye out, would you? You might hear some freaky noises coming from the guest room reserved for travelers, or liquored up pirates and the runaway brides they find in Cove looking to escape their pending commitment. Is that.... shackles on the bed post? We're not even going to ask, but it looks like a good time was had. If bedroom shackles aren't your thing, you can enjoy a cold one on the balcony and take in the spectacular view of Cove. Keep an eye out for our grand opening!

    I want to sign up my patio for Best Decorated Large House category:

    Don't have a huge story about it, I placed myself with some help at an idoc a while ago, and been living on it ever since. I wanted to move out many times, swamps never been my favorite area, but good friends live nearby and that kept me from moving away.

    Here it is:
