Here's a copy of what I posted to the internal forum:

-----
Thanks for the warm welcome, and for accepting me into [FoM].

I'd be happy to answer any questions about myself, but I'll start by offering the information that I'm
- 30 years old
- happily married
- employed full-time as half the IT department of a restaurant franchise with 34 stores
- self-employed in an on-site computer troubleshooting, repair, and training business
- enjoying my time in Inselkampf so far
- living in the Boise, Idaho, USA area
-----

To that, let me add that my username is from my hobby of programming (integer data types) and a growing reputation for "magically" being able to determine the cause of a programming problem.

welcome and make yourself at home

[DrieZ/Cesium]

Welcome on board

[camydoc]

welcome

[intchanter]

Thank you for the warm welcome. If I seem a bit quiet for a while, it's because I'm working to catch up on at least the most recent posts on both forums. With current work demands, it's taking some time.

Are there any particular forums that I should read thoroughly from the beginning?

[AeroS]

good question intchanter, and yes there are more important forums then others.
I suggest you start with roope.proboards26.com/index.cgi?board=sisterislesandrulers&action=display&thread=1166905310
and then you pretty much have everything you need.
every thing else is just blah blah blah blah.........

[intchanter]

Good one, AeroS.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Oh boy, you can get lost in here sometimes. Welcome!

Ah, welcome. I am a bit slow, but like Timberwolf, I am from the Corleth arm of the triumvirate.

How does your employer feel about you having your own business as well?

I was hired with the understanding that I needed flexible working hours, and since my employer is not in computers, but the quick service restaurant industry, it's been a good fit for the most part.

My hope is to slowly reduce the hours I work for my employer as I get more contracts for my business. Right now I'm still in the "frantically trying to get everything done" phase.

I've seen references online to upgrading a storehouse to level 30, provided that there is a statue, which can only be built if all buildings are level 20.

Since the .com version of Inselkampf does not support statues, is the absolute maximum level for a storehouse is 20?

For those who have played on .de or .co.uk, did you find that the primary benefit of upgrading past level 20 was the increased resource protection?

[blazed]

yea absolute maximum is 20

Didnt ever play .co.uk to that lvl!

I don't think that was a big factor; if your buildings were at that level then you should have had enough defence to avoid being plundered. But the additional capacity is somewhat useful to avoid wasting resources — particularly if you're building colony ships, or for players with hundreds of isles.

Due to being overloaded in real life for the next while and some upcoming business travel, I have asked AeroS to watch my account. I expect the time I have available to be rather slim for the next few weeks, into the beginning of June.

AeroS: Thanks for your continued help.

[intchanter]

I'm back, catching up, and actively trying to help out the war efforts in my area.

Thanks to AeroS for his great support and help in my absence.
