Dear Settlers!

The Excelsior has traveled to destinations far away from anything your Settlers have ever even heard of; tropical Islands, wild jungles and frozen tundras are only a few of many places Captain Graham has ventured to. She is the most experienced explorer there has ever been - and we want YOU to write about her adventures!

Due to the sheer volume of entries we received for this contest (so many great stories!!!), we have to postpone the announcement of the winners to the 21st of October. Judging them has been one tough cookie, but we're nearly there; we're super lucky to have so many creative players!

Thank you for your patience :).
