Question: Will pirates be looking for the primary mods or will they be able to use alts to really confuse us?

We will be using whatever character the sea logs show. No tricks on that part.

Clue #9
 
http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g..._Log_Teyla.png

Poor, poor Teyla. She be the saddest
case on me entire ship. The lass can't
do anything besides lay in bed, and ye'
cannot get're to snap out of it. She be
thinkin' she's toast... and I don't mean
in big trouble either. This poor gal
lterally thinks she's a piece of toast,
ans is afraid we're gonna butter'er up
and eat her with eggs'n'bacon if
we get too close. Last I know we had
to leave her in some ol' ghost town, but
she wrote some of her... intersting
poetry before we left...

From Teyla:
You can get to me by two ways
One by land, two by sea
I'll be on the dock, watching the
gypsys play

The Skirata Clan 03-19-2009 02:34 AM

so, we are repeating the poems to the mods?

Juliana Maria 03-19-2009 02:35 AM

These be getting tricky.. Sven has got me stumped with a few others.. penguins? antarctica? Backwards?? what could it all mean =/ Maggie is tricky and so is Elizabeth.. at least for me. I think I'm missing obvious clues.. Like cigar. That just doesn't click for me.. This is fun!!! (yet very frustrating lol)

swashbuckler II 03-19-2009 02:38 AM

When we see the mods, we say "Run for it!"

Basil Dreadflint 03-19-2009 03:47 AM

After you tell the mod to "Run for it", the mod will say something back. You need to write that down, and where you found the mod and which mod it is. PM the lst to TepCat. The mods will 'grade' you and the award level is dependant on how many mods you got.

The Skirata Clan 03-19-2009 04:08 AM

I thought that we were going to repeat their poems or messages back to them.

Well we wont stop you, just make sure you say Run for it! to us, and write down what we say back, pm where ya found us and what we said to Tepcat, and the rest is up to you. (might slow ya down some though)

ukebec 03-19-2009 01:27 PM

Ok - got Teyla. :D

Jack Sharkbane 03-19-2009 04:21 PM

Jack Sharkbane- Ace Mod Detective- ready for anything

LOL that was corny little buisness card. but then again it took me 41/2 seconds to think up. now, clue # nine ( number nine..... number nine..... number nine.... I buired paul) be a bit tricky. toast..... hmmm..... on the dock...... gypsies..... HOLD UP!!!!! ok I got her figured out. number nine....... number nine.....

Ghostcannon 03-19-2009 04:42 PM

Great! clue #9 is easy...there are some that are hard already. Teyla is a relief. lol

Basil Dreadflint 03-19-2009 05:14 PM

To quote a famous (Toon) hunter:

Clue #10
 
http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g...Log_Melody.png

Ya know I really don't know too
much about this lass. All I remember
is she joined the crew a few weeks ago
(and in this situation, what a time to
join us). I do remember how she go
"The Bubble" as a nickname though.
When we ran into her in Kings Arm
she was a waiter there, and what a
bad waiter she be. We were just
getting our mugs o' rum when she
comes out of the rum storage hicupping
bubbles all over the place! Ah well
shes good entertainment if nothing else.
Always singing songs and dancing. Oh,
and she always insisted that on the high
tide of the sea, an important lady
she must visit, to plunder a royal decree...
or three.

Ghostcannon 03-21-2009 06:53 PM

Ohh "The Bubble" where will you be hiding!!? Thinking........Thinking......:bookishfj7:

swashbuckler II 03-21-2009 07:22 PM

Think i have an idea where she is

Jack Sharkbane 03-22-2009 06:47 AM

This either answers me questions or makes it all the more confusing.

Tepcat 03-22-2009 02:27 PM

Clue #11 & #12
 
http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g..._Log_LadyF.png

Callie was always an interesting
lass to have on the ship. She's been on
the ship from the very start, and what
a cannoneer she be! Unfortunately,
she did seem to have one little problem
when out at sea. Of course... not that
I think about itme entire crew be a
bunch of odd folk. Anyways, Callie
always seemed to fall asleep at the
worst possible times.

From Callie:
Sorry, missed the boat
fell asleep writing ye a note
Found me a few pigs, maybe a goat,
out at this shack, and that's all sh.z.z.z.

Well, last I know we was at pirate's
home island, she's probably there.




http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g..._Log_Basil.png

Basil be me best navigator, and me
best sailor for sure. He's always on
board, and if he's not captaining the
ship for me, he's below deck making
charts and plotting our next plunder
adventure. Of course, he would have a
problem just like everyone else on this
oddball of a ship. Poor Basil only
speaks in riddles, and not very good
ones at that. Take this one for example,
and see for yeself

From Basil:
A Town that be reborn
A Fort that be rebuilt
Not near a Gypsy
But in a corner I am!

Jack Sharkbane 03-23-2009 02:31 PM

Basil, ye may be mini, but after 48 hours of chasing Jack for his lucky charms, I'm ready for ya. muhahahahaha,

~Jack, God Of Odd

Sven Niscadae 03-23-2009 03:29 PM

Getting closer and closer... Will we be free of our accursed fate? Gauging so far... things don't look well for us mods.

Also if you do find us, all it takes is a whisper of the phrase found in the log (on the first page). Ye don't want to startle the unknowing denizens of such an unnerving plot..!

Basil Dreadflint 03-23-2009 06:59 PM

12 out of 14 clues posted. But, I haven't seen too many POF members bragging on how they know the location of all 12 pirates!

The Skirata Clan 03-23-2009 07:21 PM

I know half of all.

akamystic 03-23-2009 08:22 PM

I'm not ready to start talking smack.....I'm not even sure how much time I'll have to dedicate to this. I hope to at least find one....busy weekend coming up for me. The clues are very well done.....you're going to see Pirates running around bouncing into one another.....like someone put up a free Grog sign!


:SkullBullet1:

Juliana Maria 03-23-2009 09:18 PM

I've been trying to keep a log. I at least have all of the servers but the locations will be a challenge in itself.... But we shall see. I think I have a couple so far but I could very well be wrong :piratetongueor4:

Tepcat 03-24-2009 04:03 PM

Clue #13
 
http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g...tinkymooch.png

Poor ol' Jane, can't really say too
much on her part. She be a great
crew member, as she's great at sailing,
gunning, and can use any weapon ye'
put in her hands...

...if she had any idea which way was
which. Take that picture over there
for example. Poor lass, we told her to
wave with her right hand, then argued
with her for half an hour because she
swore that was her right hand. We
finally just gave up and let her wave
with her left. Anyways, last I ever
heard from ol' Wrong Way Blade she
was off to have "left" and "right"
put on her hands, lets just hpe ol'
Bonita helps her out.

captain skids 03-24-2009 04:37 PM

I really wish i could come but that is the day i make my departure for tortuga ARRR!

Jack Sharkbane 03-25-2009 02:21 PM

Uh oh...... I just had a bad thought....... what will EKB's be like? AAAAAAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!! and as for clue 13....... ARRRRGGG!!!!

ukebec 03-25-2009 03:55 PM

No way am I going to brag. I'm think I've got at least 4, but them's not great odds for me. When all is said and done I'll be glad to find one for sure.

Tepcat 03-26-2009 04:46 PM

Clue #14 FINAL
 
http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g...Log_Tepcat.png


Ah, me first mate Tepcat. She's been
with me since I started me pirating
ventures and she hasn't left since.
She's actually pretty sane compared to
the rest of me crew, too. Only problem
that comes up is when Liz gets 'erself
a new book. Now, Tep likes her books,
anyone who's met her knows that, so
you can just imagine that hell breaks
loose when Elizabeth has a chance to
read something. I've watched her try
to get books from Elizabeth many a
time, and only rarely does she win. I
felt it be safer to leave her on the one
island I knew a pirate'd fit in on
when we found out about the curse. If
ye really want to look for 'er, she may
be working on her other hobby, food.

Li Wildtimbers 03-26-2009 05:17 PM

books........food


huh?

Ghostcannon 03-27-2009 12:37 AM

Tepcat with looks, books, and food? nice rhyme, sounds hard.

The Skirata Clan 03-27-2009 05:49 PM

is the curse getting to ya mate?

Jack Sunskull 03-27-2009 06:11 PM

Quick question did they add new servers, because I can not seem to find 2 of them that the mods are supposed to be on.

The Skirata Clan 03-27-2009 06:13 PM

all of them are in. i wrote them in my captain's log.

Jack Sunskull 03-27-2009 06:47 PM

Thanks I got them now, it is just bad fonts used for them.

Tepcat 03-28-2009 02:26 AM

The curse do be a comin' and there be no denying its pull.


Search high and low and around every corner


We be needin' yor help fer sure and certin



http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g.../Final_Log.png





P.S. nah, nah, you can't find me :laughks2:



Sea Log: March, Friday 13 1635
This be from Tepcat. Should anyone find this letter in a bottle, please read it
very carefully. It be true that the captain Batleth wrote the entire log, which I'm
hoping that you were also able to find. However the reason the fellow crewmates
had the chance to write in them was completely my idea. I felt the only way to
ensure we were found was to have them write stuff that the likes of Jolly Roger
would never understand so that we may be able to hide where we can be found.
However, Upon looking over what me fellow crewmates wrote. It seems as if they
have left another hidden clue to there whereabouts on their own free will. The moon
be growing full now, and I must go.

Signed, Tepc




Basil Dreadflint 03-28-2009 03:48 PM

Mini-mods be the hardest. Their small size makes them harder to find. I'll be waiting to see who can find me, tho I think it may be a very lonely two hours.

But, I tell ye this, No bribes of gold nor RUM will get any of the mods to tell ye where be the others. So don't even bother offering me 50 bottles to tell ye where Sarah be at. ( She'd just take it all and stash it anyways!)

swashbuckler II 03-28-2009 06:00 PM

Just a little question, Do we have till the end of the 2 hours to PM the list?

Erich Uchiha 03-28-2009 06:46 PM

Get ready you Mods!
Adventure is my name!

less than an hour to go, best of luck to all.

The Skirata Clan 03-28-2009 09:20 PM

hope to meet some of you all along the way.

Juliana Maria 03-28-2009 09:31 PM

Ahh.. i just got a babysitting job and I don't know if I'll be able to make it. But I will try!! For the mod's sakes!! lol

Deadpool 03-28-2009 09:35 PM

This is sorta embarrassing, I forgot to study the clues more earlier... too late for that now gotta give it my best :laughks2:

Your Gladiator 03-28-2009 09:41 PM

so what is the server ill be there? :)

The Skirata Clan 03-28-2009 09:43 PM

there are multiple servers mate, one for each mod.

CaptainGreenGene 03-28-2009 10:02 PM

What?
 
When we find them what are we supposed to yell again?

Now?
 
Do we start now?

Juliana Maria 03-28-2009 10:12 PM

Well.. sadlyI won't be able to participate as i got a last minute babysitting job.. I will still try to find at least one of you.. in fact im determined because I have put a month of studying those clues and effort into this LOL.. hopefully i will get home with some time to spare.. but as of now I can't download pirates onto their computer. THe world works in mysterious ways .....

Lady Freckles 03-28-2009 10:29 PM

Well Callie is hoping a few more of you find her - she doesn't care too much for life with Jolly Roger's crew!

James 03-28-2009 11:22 PM

I still can't find. If it was me alone, many more would still be in Jolly Roger's clutches. I've found 6. How many has everyone else found?

Dr. Zeppers 03-28-2009 11:25 PM

Six now have found me, but this will be rough, the curse still upon me, need more help ... its tough!
Its still not to late, I keep up the fight if more of ye find me it will help fend off this plight.
At this moment I fear, that Jolly ROger has me soul... The curse creeping through me, ever harder to control.
Even my friend here specializing in distributing goods far and wide, could not find me a potion to save my hide!


I must warn ye all, that you must find us and speak, the words although simple, are magic, not weak. "Run for it!"
If ye do not speak them then thy visit may not count. And tp's into the room, may be counted out.
Be careful to play and follows these rules, or I soon we'll become more of Jolly Rogers tools.

swashbuckler II 03-28-2009 11:42 PM

Weell, all done, all 14 =D

Rackat 03-28-2009 11:46 PM

Got'em all. Great hiding Mods!

Jack I 03-28-2009 11:55 PM

5 Minute Extension, get 'em while you can!
-----------------------------
:ahoy:
We're not done just yet! :ahoy:





Did ya' find us?
:treas:

Did ya sail the seven seas hunting high and low?
:7c810c6517:

What if we told you there's one more thing in store?
:bookishfj7:


Well, there do be one more thing! As thanks for ye' lifting this terrible curse we be holding a mod meet n' greet for those who may have wanted to friend us but didn't get the chance!

The meet will take place on...
Ocean: Caicaux
Where: Beaches of Tortuga
When: Right after the hunt


Be there or be square! We might even show you the secret hiding place of one particular mod. :psmiley35:


The Skirata Clan 03-28-2009 11:57 PM

Met the mods in game and some of you guys! that was fun, I got the Guild 0 bug and crashed...

James 03-28-2009 11:58 PM

I'll try to be at the meeting.

I haven't added any POF people yet.

Edit: Darn I gtg.

Well it was fun.

swashbuckler II 03-29-2009 12:03 AM

Sven Osymthe 03-29-2009 12:04 AM

Ghostcannon 03-29-2009 12:10 AM

Congrants to those who got them all ...lol I couldnt get them all.... I crashed two times...also got the Guild 0 bug.... It was fun and hope it repeats again soon :)

Dr. Zeppers 03-29-2009 12:12 AM

Aye me pirate mates, your efforts not a waste!
I have broken Jolly's curse, now in his mouth a bad taste.

I meet ye on the beach, in a short while.
A POF party in piratey style.


Thank ye mateys, had alot of fun.

Jack Sunskull 03-29-2009 12:27 AM

Great Job at putting this together it's finally nice to see some of you.

Bartholomew Foulsteel 03-29-2009 12:29 AM

I had less than 30 minutes, but I still managed to get 4. I also logged off and let Matt get on so he could find one too!

It was fun mods. Thanks for the good times.

Chris 03-29-2009 12:44 AM

Good times! :D

Basil Dreadflint 03-29-2009 12:51 AM

Well I guess being Mini wasn't so much in my favor. 22 found me. Lots of fun! Hope everyone else enjoyed it.

Jezzi 03-29-2009 12:52 AM

Thanks everyone, I had a great time. Congratulations to the 18 who found me :)

Sarah 03-29-2009 12:55 AM

Thanks Again Tep, twas a blast!

swashbuckler II 03-29-2009 01:00 AM

Yep, my favorate POF contest.

akamystic 03-29-2009 01:12 AM

Although I only had time to find one.....it was still a fantastic event. Hats off to the POF staff!

:piratealt:

Jack I 03-29-2009 01:22 AM

What a blast!

A thank you from Jack to all who came,
Be us pirates or toons, we all be the same.
We were cursed by the skellies,
Forced to eat jams and jellies,
until ye' all saved the day...

Alright, so there were no jams, jellies, or preservatives involved, (They would've scared Teyla away!) but I gotta thank all who came to the hunt and the after party, it was a blast! Got a few pics from the after-party meself, ye can find them in me gallery here.

Lady Freckles 03-29-2009 01:45 AM

A huge thanks to everyone that came out and searched for us, saving us from Jolly Roger's curse!

:piratewheelgo2:

We all hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Poor Callie was getting a bit nervous that none of ye would save her.

Partying in Zep's Rock, Sailing together - what a great way to spend an evening.

:buds: :laughks2: :buds:

And a big thanks to all the Mods/Admins from each site for surviving the curse!

Andrew 03-29-2009 01:51 AM

Aye was too much fun! I say we do it again next year! :D

The Skirata Clan 03-29-2009 01:52 AM

Ok, now what? do we PM our findings?

Erich Uchiha 03-29-2009 01:55 AM

Wow! What a blast guys!
Just PM'ed my recovered mods to Tepcat!

P.S. Thanks POF staff for making this possible!

Redfury 03-29-2009 02:20 AM

That was a Blast. And some where hard to find. Hope we do something like that again soon!!!!

swashbuckler II 03-29-2009 02:21 AM

Li Wildtimbers 03-29-2009 02:22 AM

was indeed fun and yes some did throw us off our game (Sarah, Callie and Zep). Do hope u guys plan another hunt in the near future

Jack Sunskull 03-29-2009 04:31 AM

I am giving those who type slowly time and those who had to stay up late for the event a chance to send in their list Sunday. I will be starting the awarding process Sunday night.

Jack Sunskull 03-29-2009 05:39 AM

I hope I get an award. I can't remember how you are rewarded.

lostmymarbles 03-29-2009 06:24 AM

*sniffs...small slow tear making it's way down my cheek.....

I so wanted to play...

It sounded like you all had a great time!

lol.. and you can tell Basil and Sarah that little OCD me sent in my guesses

(Hey, I couldn't be there to hunt, but that doesn't mean I couldn't at least try to figure out where they would be.)

Pssst.. did I get any right?

CaptainGreenGene 03-29-2009 03:02 PM

Thanks
 
Thanks to all the mod and mini's for their time and talents both hiding and
answering us. Must have been a blast the first time you got to say your phrase
and I bet it was just as fun the last time! (Sven was my last and was
sleeping on the job but managed to wake up just in time!) Not sure who
picked the hiding spots but a few were very challenging. Congrats to the
players who participated and thanks again to the Mods + Mini's.

Jack Sunskull 03-29-2009 09:57 PM

Did we recieve our awards yet, or are you still working on them?

swashbuckler II 03-29-2009 10:04 PM

Noone recieved their awards yet, they will be awarded tonight hopefully.

And there's the answer :D She'll begin later this evening and it may take a day or so depending on the number of entries.

Conrats to all the players! :D

Ghostcannon 03-29-2009 11:29 PM

It was awesome and glad I met some of the Mods and some POF members in game.
When will be the next round? lol

ukebec 03-29-2009 11:59 PM

This was a fantastic event! Thank you to all of the mods who participated and made this possible. Oh...some of you were so devious with your clues and hiding places. Zep litterally had me head-in-hands at one point trying to figure out where he was!
