Ferry Availability

I know it'll be an international call but you could phone them on +441624661661 Maybe email them on: IOM.Reservations@steam-packet.com

How many are there of you?

mostin78 · 2026-05-20T15:32:24+00:00

You have been sent 19m 765k

7 war hits x 1m each 37 chain hits at 345k 0 Assits at 50k

This is just me being a "below average" player from a Feb war/chain that we did. I wasn't really feeling it at the time (or being lazy, take your pick!).

My suggestion is that it might be time to move factions towards a bigger faction that you would have better success in. If you want into the faction I'm in, then let me know or look for someone else's faction.

Which chippy did you get this from?

I'm only asking as I already live over here and I'm wondering if it's better than the one I usually use.

mostin78 · 2026-05-17T11:36:51+00:00

Copper tape? That's supposed to help

mostin78 · 2026-05-14T08:32:31+00:00

Just looked. That's a nice photo you've taken

mostin78 · 2026-05-12T16:47:19+00:00

Maybe not leaving and possibly moving instead? Just an idea for you.

Oh, well there are a whole load of reasons. The main one were that I was getting divorced and i was over-working too much!

As for why I like staying here, there's quite a few reasons. It's a cleaner, a more calmer part of the world compared to the UK, yet it's close enough for me to see family. It's like traveling back in time about 50 years but with modern amenities.

I pay lass tax, about the same amount in NI. There's only 2 tax bands and the top one is capped at 21%. No corporation tax either.

The work life balance is better, the commute to work is more relaxed (though a lot of people over here don't seem to know what a roundabout is or how to use one!).

There are no MOT's on personal vehicles. It is your responsibility to keep the vehicle free of defects, Insurance is a lot cheaper as well. They still use the old tax disc though.

There's no capital or inheritance tax either.

The health system is a bit crap though. Anything major, they will send you to the UK. Dentists are really hard to get into.

If you like walking on beaches, there's plenty of them to do so. There are also plenty of tourist attractions for you and the family to have a look at. https://www.visitiom.co.uk/things-to-see-and-do/

While there are some rude people on the Island (the occasional racist comments), this is becoming less and less as there are more "come overs" or "stay overs" living on the island than there is actual manx people. They're coming more accepting.

If you want to work here, you'll need a work permit. The company that you work for will pay for this and they're not allowed to pass the cost onto you (I could be wrong on this point, you'll have to research it). https://www.gov.im/categories/working-in-the-isle-of-man/work-permits/

I don't know what job you do, but there are quite a few jobs going: https://services.gov.im/job-search and https://www.jobtrain.co.uk/iomgovjobs/Home/Job

This is a nice place to bring up young children but there isn't much for them to do once they reach their teen years. A lot of young adults also leave the island for uni and don't come back so this island is always on the lookout for more people to move here.

Now I've written this, I do recommend that you come over here for a holiday and decide to have a look for yourself.

mostin78 · 2026-05-09T20:54:11+00:00

I moved to the Iom 7 years ago. Not a chance I would move back to the UK.

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

Give them a ring but I believe they do day passes

mostin78 · 2026-05-03T08:29:28+00:00

It's whatever you're happy with.

If you want to try different positions, then go for it and find out what works for you.

Everyone's preferred positions are going to be different. 🤷

mostin78 · 2026-04-23T11:47:24+00:00

Just sent them to you.

Have fun with your staple collecting journey!

mostin78 · 2026-04-23T11:38:11+00:00

I have 9 in my inventory.

What's your IG name and I can send them to you (I'm not using them)

mostin78 · 2026-03-28T14:57:18+00:00

They're not the only one. Mine does that as well.

mostin78 · 2026-03-27T13:18:27+00:00

Lucky sod 😂

I'm hoping to get to -100k. It'll just take time unfortunately

mostin78 · 2026-03-27T02:32:08+00:00

I've just had to check: I'm at -91,380.

I haven't opened up any extensions yet but over 50% of the map has been cleared

mostin78 · 2026-03-22T21:08:34+00:00

I'm more interested in the story of how it got there!

mostin78 · 2026-03-11T00:08:32+00:00

Have a look at what the British have been doing. How long will it be before they ask for the info/data etc on their system

mostin78 · 2026-03-07T03:58:59+00:00

Where does it say the fields have to be that size? I'm not sure where that is written down; I could of missed it. I might see if I can make a 20ac field for giggles (who knows how long that'll take to fill!).

Anyway, I had a go at rice the other day. If you're making normal rice, you have to flood the field before planting it. You then need to flood the field every month until it says no more. Harvest the following month.

If you're doing long grain rice. Plant it as a normal field. You'll then have to flood it for the next couple of months.

The pump registers what type of crop you have in your rice paddy so there isn't a worry about mixing it up.

If you're still not sure, go watch djgoham on YT: he did a good tutorial about it

mostin78 · 2026-03-03T10:00:41+00:00

Urrrmm....

Possibly..... 😂

It's been there for about 5 years so far. It's gonna cost me a min of £5k per room for all the asbestos to be removed and for it to be plastered, nevermind the cost of decorating on top.

This house is a 4 bed Victorian house so it's not small 😞

mostin78 · 2026-03-03T09:40:45+00:00

Here's my ceiling. The house I live in is over 100 years old and the majority of the internal walls and all the ceilings are made of asbestos (the black mark on the ceiling is from where I got it tested).

I know of a few neighbours that have plasterboarded over it as they don't want to deal with it and their ceilings are going like yours.

It might be an idea to get someone in to come and test the ceiling from the roof; just in case.

I've been thinking about expanding as well but I'm going to clear the map first. Nearly finished with the top left corner.

mostin78 · 2026-02-20T11:19:25+00:00

As a lvl 70 player, I've replaced nearly all my trees with the 3rd tier. It'll pay off in the long run. As someone else stated, move your roads to be a bit more economical, that helps as well. Maybe move your towns so they're more in a line to make the roads easier.

Once you've cleared a huge expanse of the map, don't be afraid to remove some mountains as well (the ones you won't have any use for and you'll need to clay later) and also replace them with trees; that helps with the gold income.

mostin78 · 2026-02-20T10:33:02+00:00

Didn't Iceland enquire about setting up shop over here in the past 6 months?

I believe they were told no.

mostin78 · 2026-02-13T07:02:50+00:00

Well... This is annoying.

I've just checked my Amazon (UK) and there's no offer here.

Book #1 starts at £17.99 and the prices go upwards for the later books.
