Ahoy djr 8fan - Old Sooty and Cromwell are said to be roaming Port Royal. Sooty was seen during an invasion and was helping. It was also stated that ghost may now appear on Public ships. So you try that out and see if you get lucky.

As always the appearances seem to be tied in with the Invasions for the most part. Constance has been showing up around an hour ahead of time.

Good luck mate!

Captain Whale

I agree she was on abassa earlier today about an hour before invasion, I was chatting with her for a couple of minutes before a flood of fools came in and kept going in her house :huh: . At that point it was her only concern to rid her house of them. Watch for 15 minutes as she yelled at them to stay out and knock them out over & over again. I did not get any new info only what was posted above and I do feel there would have been more if not for said pirates that would not respect the dead. I fear that if we are to get any real info we need to make our fellow pirates behave themselves, so pass that along to your fellow guild members :grin: .

JI:h-skull:

I never really posted them up Zeke, but then again I never really thought about it. I'll post a link in the AV forum here in a second with a link to all the Jolly Roger files.

There's the thread with a link to all the soundbites, don't listen if you don't want to know what may be coming. (Let me note though, just because something shows up in the phase files does not mean it will appear soon, or at all. For example Davy Jones has been in the files since day 1, and we've not seen him in-game yet.) ---> http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...705#post174705

Actually Constance was there for quite a while. Got 134 screenies and so am still sorting the text. She did say a few new things, but I'll leave it for when I post the text and screenies. I also got a few minutes with Old Soot an will post that as well.

i want to see capn cromwell whenever he will show up :/

Still working on yesterdays text. But I have news of a different nature.

Many of you have stood by that Connie is on our side. Over and over I stated my doubts. I offer you proof positive!


I'm that circle in front of the mowhawk pirate. You can clearly see just how far from her house I am. I have witnesses who can state I was only ever polite, only trying to stop them from going in her house. Trying to get them to leave her alone. I'm not the only one she knocked out without provocation. She laid out about 10 of us who were not near and had never been near her house, and were not being disruptive. On our side? Think not!

Constance the name of the dead bride from the haunted mansion ride. Form her story there she has killed 5 husbands. Wonder if this is related some how, Here is a Shot of her.

JI:h-skull:

Oh wow. Sounds like she is a lot badder than I thought. Sorry about what happened mate.

Now THAT is wild! Does kinda make a little bit of sense though. But still! Constance from Pirates Online, you feel pity for. The Ghost from the Haunted Mansion though, dang!

Also: Cromwell! Am i the only one that is reminded of the disney movie Halloween Town every time i hear the name Cromwell?


EDIT: Anyways, was hanging around Abassa to see if Constance will have anything to say about the curse. So far, nothing..

best to avoid constance i have talked to her she was constance moses but changed her name she is a very troubled sprit trust me stay away

Today I ran into Walter on Antik. I got the chance to mention Constance knocking people out, and what she did to me. Being in character he acted surprised about knowing she could knock people out. However, even in character I got the feeling he was disturbed when I told him she had no call to knock me out, and that I had guild members who could back that up. I doubt they will take the whole ability away, and I don't mind them using it on unruly pirates. Hopefully this will at least make them think twice before attacking innocents.

wow its nov 1st and still no sign of cromwell :/ sounds like some disney hullablue (joke) if you ask me

Disney make a booboo??
 

Ok, I logged into test today. Got the ALL HOLLOWES EVE IN PROGRESS but the sky was blue and everything seemed to be back to normal (as normal can be in the Caribbean). I mean, there was no green sky, no green clouds...... Thought that the ALL HOLLOWS EVE event was the Muertos Moon. (Which I avoided like the plague.) So, if it was the Muertos Moon, did they take out the wrong curse? or Are they getting ready to move the invasions to a different island?

If the invasions have been taken out for a while, wouldnt this mean that the ghost sightings would end?

Hawke,
Very interesting information. And my compliments as to staying with the story line and stating the fact that Walter acted 'in character'. Except for maybe Constance, all us pirates need to remember that when we encounter a GM, there is a real person behind that pirate, but they are role playing. Therefore their inter-action with the pirates around them will be as such.

Test is always test, you can't trust everything you see in there, can ye? :D

The Muertos Moon was the Halloween event, and because of that there were no normal
invasions during the Halloween weekend.

Cromwell will appear when the stories of him and all the other ghosts have spread wide
enough in the pirate community.

The ghosts are probably the base of our new story quest. Ever thought of that? The whole
Jolly Roger is the base of our new storyquest! So the ghost sightings will not end, the
invasions will not end and any other island is not going to be invaded before the invasions
on Port Royal have ended. :)

Also, TheHawke,
I don't think getting knocked out by a GM is that big of a deal, some people seem to even
search for it when they disturb the events (or ghosts!). I believe you didn't do anything wrong,
so maybe you were just a warning to other pirates? To scare the disturbers?
I mean, it's not like you actually got physically hurt, eh? :)

Aye test is test, but it is the same on live today too. Normal sky, same message, etc. As fast as this possibliy leading to the next story chapter.... have you read what I have said here previously in the thread?

Hawke...... I to am wary of the ghosts. At least of Constance. John, who posted the pic of Constance from the Hunted Mansion, and I are friends in the game. We were thinking maybe she is the inspiration for Constance Sorrow. And here is an idea: If Constance in the Haunted Mansion ride killed her husbands (5 of them) for gold, who is to say that Constance Sorrow didnt do the same? She did write John Moses' aunt in England didnt she.....Maybe she had Cromwell still the gold and maybe she had Cromwell killed also? And, maybe she is trying to keep pirates out of her house because the gold is hidden there or nearby (dig spot-hint hint). LOL. Just a thought. As far as the knocking out goes, dont like that an innocent pirate got the same as the guilty ones who entered her house. But, they did make her mad and I dont think she cared who got the brunt of her anger.

What is driving me nuts about all this is that most of us don't know when or what server constance will appear. We don't have as much time to spend on POTC as we'd like to wait for her.

I'm guessing that they are testing out the story line periodically in the real servers to see how we react prior to actually doing anything on the test servers. This would be an easier way to keep us all distracted and in the dark. Personally, it is REALLY getting aggravating since I can't find any ghost.

I did run into Capt Rott today about 2;30 Eastern. He played along as if he knew nothing of the ghosts. He was on the Abassa server near the house where Constance appears. I went inside the house and got knocked out. I wasn't making any scenes or distrubing anyone. I am 99% certain Rott did it. He did knock out a pirate that kept shooting him., prior to me being knocked out.

Where is this all leading and why can't we find out more info?

I expect the Invasions to start up soon and Constance will again be fortelling thier arrival. I am enjoying the ghost stories and such but agree that it would be nice to see them more often.

I am not sure why Rott would protect Constances old home. Curious.....

Captain Whale

im hoping to catch a glimpse of someone soon

I can't wait for all this to get rolling... I'm so pumped!!

I got knocked out by Connie several times, just for being on the very corner of the open floor area,,, then a couple more simply for healing fellow pirates on the edge, I was CLEARLY NOT in the house,,, but I guess that if ye help someone she just knocked out,,, you will get it too.

Once you see and interact with Connie once, it's the same ol' thing,,,, *cries*, wassdamatter Connie?, Oh, please help me!, My husband John, *cries*, repay the gold, blah, blah, blah,,, BAM !!!! Knocked out and to jail,,,, come back,,,,, same thing.....

I mean, it's cool and all,,, very different,,, but it's getting dull.....

Well, it seems like no one has ran into Cromwell yet. It's definitely unfortunate that we don't know what server they will be in, since not all of us have time to wander around ghost-hunting.

Although, today was rather interesting. On Port Royal Beach in Anegasseo (spelling?) before the first invasion of the day, I ran into Old Sooty. He kept warning us that Jolly Roger would invade today, and this would not be the end of him. Then, another pirate brought up Constance in which Sooty said, "Ah, Constance. You should pay a visit to Captain Cromwell about her." Then, someone asked about Cromwell and Sooty replied, "I hear Cromwell be around Governor's Garden- he is quite a creepy fellow he is."

Then, strangely enough during the third invasion, we had fought the continuous streams of undead and then Jolly Roger said "Ye are foiling my plans. Mates retreat back to the ship." (or something along the lines of that, I forget the exact wording) and then he just sailed away, never actually coming to fight.
I don't know what that means, if he just retreats, but I was thinking about how it says that the invasions will last as long as JR has enough forces. So possibly this meant he was lacking an army of undead/forces and we won't see invasions for awhile.....?

so here is a thought. i was considering posting this earlier, but then i found the story lines on the normal website. I am going to make a prediction, the next time anyone runs into rott, try calling him cromwell. Perhaps rott is an alias, and there is more to cromwell's story. that would explain the insane amounts of gold rott was giving out for those jobs.

I realize this suggestion is only a hunch, and one without much evidence to back it up, but what's there to lose? worst thing that could happen is Rott saying "I think ye be mistaking me for someone else"

Sarah,

Was involved in an invasion last night that started around 10:30 central. Went on for almost 1/2 hr.. Jolly seems to still have plenty of undead forces. And Jolly himself did come ashore. Made it to the mansion grounds, but then he finally went down .

Was one of the toughest battles I have been in for some time.

Robert Firewalker, lvl 43

What really gets my goat is this: Most of these things are happening on Abassa or one of those really crowded servers, right? They tell you "Stay away from Abassa, it's the busiest server on the game" yet they go ahead and do some of these things on Abassa which is the busiest server in the game.

Anyways.. Me and a friend did an invasion by ourselves. went smooth enough, but couple barricades went down and Jolly Roger came early due to a barricade protecting the mansion getting destroyed. Got to give him his Birthday gifts though! :)

Gotta see if i can find Ezekiel.. So many things i want to tell him!

P.S: Hope that's not really off-topic-ness.. :\

I was too. I was with a large crew of pirates all from my guild, so with team work we were able to finish fairly quickly. Although, you are right, during one part in the battle things were getting a bit rough as more and more undead kept coming and we were having trouble getting everyone healed, so it does not insinuate Jolly is exposed to any lack of forces.
After that battle I switched over to an "ideal" server to see if I could catch the end of the invasion to get some more rep. I had done this before in previous invasions and I found that servers that are "ideal" during invasions are very chaotic, since it is not an organized crew, so they tend to take a longer time to finish the invasions. I switched over, and sure enough I was able to catch the last wave of enemies and then Jolly. Once that invasion was done I switched over to another serve, and surprisingly they STILL had an invasion going on. Well, sure enough I got to a server and the last group of enemies had just been announced, and then when we were fighting them off, almost all of them were dead when JR retreats and sails away. It was quite bizarre...

You're right though, it really does seem that Jolly has enough force, that was just an assumption. So, now I think that this has nothing to do with the upcoming events and plot (i.e. JR running out of forces) and this may just be a mere bug, or perhaps its meant to happen that after a respected time period, JR must sail away so invasions do not last for hours. It must have been over an hour or more by the time I got to that server, because I had taken part in two other invasions in different servers beforehand. Anyways, it's just an inference, this whole thing could mean nothing at all.


Well, back to the ghosts, today I plan on doing a bit of ghost-hunting especially for Cromwell now that Old Sooty has hinted his whereabouts. I''ll post about if I'm able to find Cromwell, or if I have any other unusual run-ins with ghosts.

Aye time to look for Captain Cromwell!

yah i saw her too! She knocked me and a few other pirates out when we tried to go in her house!

Uh, dude, that kind of distracting stuff keeps the GMs from being able to take the time to give us nifty info like when we might get an invasion next, where this might lead, where to find Cromwell, an other fun stuff like that.

Yeah, when you see a GM try to juice as much information out of them as possible before they leave, because the GM's are there to give the hints to new things on the horizon, so why not take advantage of it? :pirate2: When I ran into Old Sooty he was answering our questions until two annoying pirates pulled out their pistols and were trying to shoot at him. As soon as that happened he left, and I never got to ask more questions. You have to be especially careful with Constance because she seems like she holds a lot of information from her little hints and she has this odd evilness about her (i.e. THE EVIL GLOWING RED EYES!) that many are curious about, but she has a low tolerance for annoyances and it's hard enough already to get information out of her between the pleads for help and the crying.

Sarah and Hawke are exactly right.

Ok, I would think by now everyone would know to treat the GM's with respect and that they are in character. You have to also act in character when you interact with them. BE your pirate and be respectful. You never know what kind of information they have come to give us and as Sarah pointed out. Things went along very well until the rude pirates showed up.

Let these pirates know that we don't appreciate what they are doing. Let's try and get a message out to these types that if they are not interested in participating to go away and do something else. I don't understand this mentality that its fun to ruin other people's fun. In most cases I don't think they are intentionally being mean, they just are not thinking of anyone but themselves. So if you are at a GM event and this rude behavior is going on. Let the disrupters know they are not wanted here. With any luck they will leave or at least be quiet and settle down.

Did anyone happen to catch what Constance or Old Sooty had to say this time? Please report you sightings and information here. I know its a long thread but it has everything in it.

Thx and good hunting!!
Captain Whale

Aye I was on Abassa tonight trying to hear Constance Sorrow tell us about when the next invasion was but all she said was "Jolly Roger is near...". Alot of very rude pirates were going into her home and GM Ruby Wynn came to ask them to please stop she left after about 10 minutes or so and she said she was very disappointed with the rude pirates there and she was going to tell Captain Walt about this. For all you rude pirates out there stop being rude and disrespectful to the GM's unless you want to be banned or suspended!

I was there too. I find it wrong how those immature pirates always get in the way! I could tell that Constance was about to tell us something usefull, but they kept entering her house and most of what she said was yelling at them to leave.

On the plus side though, she did tell us that "they" came in her house without permission and too John away. Now if only the annoying, immature pirates hadn't interrupted we would actually know who "they" were.

EDIT: Does anyone know where Old Sooty can be found? I saw Constance today on Abassa in her house when the Marceline members showed up. Cromwell flew around Port Royal dock as an orb, and then went to the Governor's Garden on Abassa (he only gives 500 gold). So that leaves only one ghost left for me to find.

Aye, Abassa was busy tonight, I was unable to get in to visit Constance and with my disconnection luck, if I got in I would be quickly booted. Too bad for those ignorant pirates, I would have loved to hear what else Constance had to say.

Capt Seafury, I'm not sure of all of Old Sooty's whereabouts but I have ran into him on both of the Port Royal beaches; once in Anegaso and once in Cruzaire. It seems that Old Sooty chooses his districts rather randomly, but Constance seems to always be sighted in Abassa.

Thanks for the information on Cromwell, I have yet to run into him...

I saw Constance on Andoso last night, but nobody would stay out of her house so she left without giving any new info.

I'm thinking that now the GM's have displayed their power of KO'ing bad pirates, they [some pirates] are testing them... seeing how far they can go before getting knocked out. A new sport if you will. Sad indeed.

edit: clarification of 'they'

Aye Sven,

I am assuming yer meaning the bad pirates are testing the GM's. If so I agree tis a sad thing to see. That's why I be advocatin we start lettin these scallywags know how we feels. Me guild knows not to do this and that they be gettin one warning fer it. Me mates are abiddin by this and we even have a group that talks and goes a huntin fer the ghosts.

I ask the GM's to talk to yer guilds about this and let'em know to respect the GMs. There will always be disrupters in online games. Some folk find this to be fun. If we all band together and show our displeasure most can be handled. The rest can be tossed from the game by the GM for all I care. At some point the GMs will be forced to stop these events or start bannin pirates for it. Let's do what we can to curtail those that just need some advisin.

alright, sorry fer the rant but it's redicuous. Thx fer your post Sven and all the others what feel this way.

Captain Whale

Captain Whale, are you implying that a Guild Master should ban anyone that goes into the ghosts' house?

If so, I see this as ridiculous.

I fully agree that you should respect the GM, but how is it disrespectful to want to be the antagonist in the storyline? I can understand pirates testing to be KO'd. But other than just walking in the house, I don't see how anyone would make the GM angry through chat. And if they do, they deserve more than just a KO.

Why would he have displeasure from people walking into a house, exactly? Unless there is rude chat, I don't see why you should tell someone not to go into the house.

Once I meet the ghost I'll go along with the little storyline and probably walk in the house as a "foolish pirate". Does that make me bad? No. I simply have no time in my real life. Some of us can't wait hours and hours to meet this ghost. And if we do, we'll be curious and odds are we'll try to see what this GM can do.

It's a game, remember, and if people want to walk into a house and get KO'd they should be allowed to. Seems very odd to want to get knocked out, but if they want to, let them. It's not like anything important is going to be said by the ghost, although only seeing one person get knocked out would be better than, say, ten.

I just don't see how any important information would come from a GM. Important information should be on the Lore on the pirates site, not from the game, where only few may get information.

Ahoy MacIronhawk - thx fer the reply.

You say Guild Master are you meaning GM? If yer meaing a Guild master that is up to them. In our case we simply have asked our pirates to respect the GMs at the events and they are. They want to know what it going on just like the rest of us. Would we kick someone out if they persisted in causing trouble at a GM event? Perhaps, depends on what was goin on.

What I am saying is that when the GM's come on they have information they want to impart to us. In the case of Constance she has stated "Do not go in my house!" So when pirates go in anyways she spends most of her time shouting "Get out of my house!!" and KO'in pirates who won't. In some cases the GM's have left without saying much more than "Stop attcking me or Get out of my house." It's a simple matter of respect to both the GM and to those of us there to find out what she has to say. Does that make you bad? No, but it does make you disrepectful when you have been asked not to do it. I don't have much time to play either and so when events get ruined on the one time I actually get to be there, I don't like it.

As far as Banning pirates - that is up the GM's. If everytime they see the same pirate causing the same disruptions then yeah I am ok with that. I think warnings should be given or suspension first. Everyone has a right to play but they don't have the right to ruin everyone else fun.

Captain Whale

Sorry if my post sounded... confused? I wasn't too clear what you were saying as GM can mean game master, or guild master.

I totally understand having a guild master possibly banning someone for bugging and bugging a game master, as some people would like to hear the story coming from the ghost, and not yells for people to go away.

I myself want to see the ghost, and I really want to hear the information given.(although I think it might be a little fun to hear maybe one or two shouts from the ghost to leave her house.)

Im afraid im going to have to disagree..


Indeed, there are some that are disrespectful and there are those that cause alot of mayham in events like these, but i honestly dont think they should get banned..

Why? There are alot of kids and there are alot of other pirates that dont know much about this roleplaying stuff. If they're going around harassing, then yeah they should get banned. But not if they're asking question after question or walking into Constance's house or having their guns ablaze. Knocking said person out is fitting enough as it is even if they tend to be bothersome.


P.S: Sorry if i read the above posts wrong and that isn't what the posters above were saying :(

Ahoy Kraken Guard - I don't want to see anyone banned either.

I think first they get knocked out a few times then a warning then a suspension and if they still don't get it.... banned. At some point enough is enough, when they come back event after event. Accidents happen and people who don't know what's goin on trip into things. That's fine. I had a guy come in and start rep stealing today when I was helping a lower lvl guldie do a quest. I asked him to stop or go do it somewhere else. He responded that the rep was the same no matter what. I asked my guildmate to please wait a moment and then spent several minutes explaining how rep works and that by him coming in and killing our target with his flaming skull he was taking the rep from both of us. Also that it was bad form to come and attack targets we were fighting with out asking if it was ok. He apologized and thanked us for taking the time to explain it to him. He had no idea. If I see him doing it again though... you see my point? I think if we inform those who are doing the disrupting that it's bad form they may stop. Better for all.

I am talking about the pirate that keeps coming back time after time to disrupt things. To me that is no different than cursing, harrassing or bullying.

OK back to Ghosts! Has anyone anything to report?

Captain Whale

Wo guys... I was talking about a GM banning someone from their guild.

Before this gets too off topic I'd just like to say, I'm waiting on pirates now for constance. I'd like to see this ghost before she stops showing up.

Try going to Abassa when there is an invasion. The GMs tend to be there due to the larger amount of players in attendance.

No worries MacIronhawk - just a friendly discussion. That's what forums are all about.

Sven is correct most sightings are in Abassa.

Captain Whale

The ghost of Captain Cromwell was seen today. One of the pirates asked if Constance was an innocent? Captain Cromwell said that she was.

Another piece of the puzzle. Constance Sorrow was an innocent in all this and died of a broken heart. He husband John Moses died fer a crime he did not commit because Captain Cromwell stole the reward that was to set John free from the gallows.

Did anyone catch anything else from Captain Cromwell? I heard Constance was about today too but have not heard what she had to say.

Captain Whale

Hold on.... Does Constance knock people out in her house because she's getting into character as a ghost for the role-playing event? Or is it because it's a GM's personal space?

Obviously, it is because it is strictly against the rules the GM has set while being in
the Role Playing character, therefore any pirate disrespecting that deserves to be
knocked out or sent to jail. :)

Old Sooty was in Port Royal (Abassa) last night. He spent most of the time asking people to stow their weapons. He did not have much information except he said he was the ripe old age of 43.

Thanks Gingeeann for the update.

Hopefully next time he will be able to spend more time talking to those who came to hear what he had to say. I have seen this too where the disrupters are so bad that the GM simply has to leave and we lose any clues he/she came to impart.

Captain Whale

Since you stated that this was obvious, where is this rule stated, or where was it hinted? All I know is that there's a rule for stowing weapons. Just asking.

"The Pirates Online Code of Conduct:

1. Respect your fellow pirates - Pirates of the Caribbean Online does not tolerate any swearing, cheating, bullying or overt harassment toward other players. Disciplinary action will be taken should any one of these occur while playing. "


So basically, harassing the GMs is against the Disney's Code of Conduct. I thought this was obvious because everyone should have read this before they started to play. Here is a link to the Code of Conduct if you want more info:
The Pirates Online Code of Conduct

I'm puzzled of whether walking into a house with a ghost in it automatically qualifies as harassment. I know that it could be considered as harassment under some instances, but I'm not sure if it applies to wandering pirates who's just looking inside a Haunted House and are knocked out for role-playing purposes.

After all, she did knock out everyone around her for no reason before, and people took it seriously as if they thought that she thought they broke a rule.

Constance Sorrow (GM) specifically states to "Stay out of my house!"

GMs also state "Stow your weapons" or something similar.

I don't know how they could be any clearer. Multiple warnings are usually given depending on the number of pirates not listening. Hopefully that answers your question.

Captain Whale

Not really.... It seems like a vague assumption instead....

Sooty was on my ship yesterday.Just exiting, my first ghost I had just met on port royal after I tped to Charlotte Doyle.A bunch of my friends came along too,we sunk EITC and some skeleton after Soot left.Good driving when that Omen came Thunder.Thx for coming Del ,Char ,Jeanne , Hex and Soot.He also said there was a new quest cooming for ppl over level 25.

Interesting, wonder what this new quest will be all about?

Other then that, i noticed there hasn't been much talk about Constance Sorrow Sightings, haven't heard from her in a long time. Wonder what happened?

No news about the new inventory and ship custom... :/

I believe that Constance has played her part out. Her job was the tease intro to the gold give-away. She provided the clues about what the story is behind that, and she even gave out the correct words to use in order to get the code for the gold. I don't believe that we will see much of her anymore, unles they, Disney, revive that character for another reason.

She was sighted yesterday and was actually attacked by some EITC Black Guard (GMs). She knocked them out so I am told.

She has fortold that her home may be invaded and that Jolly Roger will start to attack other islands in the Caribbean!

Tis second hand but I trust the source enough to post it. Does anyone else have any information on this?

Captain Whale

She attacks GMs too? Now I really think she's just getting into character.

Wait, I'm confused here.

It's against the rules to go in the ghosts' house just because she knocks people out when they go into it? Well, to me this just looks like some fun roll playing to me. I would think if she knocked out other GMs they're obviously doing it for fun and not because "going into a house is against the rules".

Sorry, but once I saw that it seems weird to call going into a house against the rules.

You guys know how at most GM events that dozens of pirates swarm the GM, shouting out of turn, using their weapons, etc., and the GM is never able to get out what they are trying to say? Thats why Constance probably knocked out other pirates that weren't listening. They were getting too close, they were disrupting the role-playing, so she shut them up. The fact that shes supposed to be a depressed yet moody ghost only adds on to her reason role-playing wise to knock others out.

GMs knocking out each other? Its obviously just part of the event. The more involved the GMs get, like attacking each other, the more it adds to the role-playing aspects, thus, making the event more entertaining/exciting/surprising for both the players, and the actors themselves. Its a game, it should be fun for everybody, including the GMs.

This is where I stopped reading, simply because there's no supporting evidence what-so-ever to say that getting too close disrupts them.

If Captain Walter can have a group of fifty pirates bunching up around him so can Constance. Knocking people out is roll playing, and being knocked out when walking into the house is part of the event. It doesn't mean it's against the rules, and if the GMs don't say, "It's against the rules to come in this house", then it's not. Besides, the house is part of the game, so it shouldn't be against the rules to go to a certain spot.

The GMs don't knock you out because you go against the rules, they knocked you out because it's for roll playing.

I never said it was against the rules. I simply stated they were making it harder for her to speak. I don't think it would be fun/easy for you if you had dozens of pirates swarming you, causing lag, yelling at you, etc. If I was a GM, I would want as much respect as any other pirate. And also, I DID state it was mainly for role-play in my post.

For example, does it say in the rules you aren't allowed to teleport to somebody without asking first? No, but its the polite thing to do. Same as for not flocking to the GMs. Its not in the rules, but its the right thing to do.

Very sorry for that, but with so many people saying they thought it was against the rules, I assumed(not good of me) that you were implying it was against the rules.

I do understand it being hard for the GMs, but they're paid to deal with that.

No problem, I understand.

Anyway, back on main topic, I've had a few recent experiences with Old Sooty. The first was at an invasion on Abassa (read my blog for the whole story if yer interested), the second and more up-close experience, was when I got to be on the same ship with Soot (:D) He was very friendly, very pirating, and even though he only used round shot, he had VERY strong cannons. He didn't mention anything note-worthy, mainly because I showed up half way, but still, it was a great experience :D

P.S. Thanks to Dockwrecker the Privateer for helping me find Soot :)

Thank you , it was more the merrier on that voyage.I hope we can do it again.

Awesome to hear mates! I have yet to see ol' Sooty or Captain Cromwell. That would be really cool to sail with Sooty!

Thanks fer sharing.

Captain Whale

WOOT I SAW CONSTANCE FOR MY FIRST TIME:xmasbiggrin: she knocked out my friend too :xsad: but the cool part was SHE LET ME GO AND AND HELP HER :xlaugh: thats a shock because she never lets anyone in! HERE IS SOME ADVICE!!! DONT JUST GO IN! ASK HER FIRST who knows she just might let you in! a question for you hosts
can you possibly put up a notice when she will be there so we know?
can you also do the same fo old soot and captain cromwell?
and constance if you read these... how can i help your husband?
please reply constance and it was nice seeing you for the first time!:xgrin:

I was about to say "I haven't heard of any ghost-sightings in a while" And what do you know? I spoke to soon! :p

What server were you on, Abassa? Just'a wondering as it seems like ghost sightings usually come up in servers like that(And they tell us to avoid the ideal or full servers, but where do you find the ghosts? :p)

Ghostly sighting do occur on places like abassa because of the amount of people.

Full Servers : She will be there

Ideal Servers : Likely to be there

Quiet Servers: Not Likely to be there

Ahoy everyone. i saw constance for my first time just a few days ago! so happy although i only saw her for a minute after the invasion. but still. hey captain whale cromwell said he let his greed guide his actions and hats why he gives us the gold so we can give it to constance to hlp her husband. CONSTANCE SORROW if you read these HOW CAN WE HELP YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND? and captain whale is there a way the devs can post up notices on when and where we can talk to these ghost gm's like they do with the regular gm's? just a suggestion but it would really be nice because it would end the ghost hunt and help alot.

Wow! That's so cool! I wish I was there! That is interesting! I hope I get to see her!
But it is very weird, seeing a ghost on POTCO, wanting her husbands soul!
Kinda scary, but like i said intersting!
I wanna know more!

OMG I JUST RELIZED WHAT SHE MIGHT BE!
Remeber on the second POTC movie their was a dress flying around on the boat and it look just like hers, from what i remember, (i havernt seen that movie in forever) and She made a fire on the boat that spelled out tortuga! Maybe it has something to do with that.
That is my best guess. :/

Actually, it was Elizabeth doing the ghostly stuff. She made her dress fly around and wrote 'Tortuga' in the fire so that the crew of the ship she was on would think it was haunted. Would still be pretty wicked to see Constance write out something in flames, though...her telling people to "get out!" would be much more threatening that way. LOL

LOL i couldnt agree more! That would be pretty sweet! :D and a little frightening! Hahaha!

anyone got a screen shot of shoot met him but didn't a screen shot.

I believe there are some shots of Ol' Sooty in the Screenshot gallery area.

I for one would like to see a happy ending for Constance Sorrow and John Moses. In one of her last sightings she asked us to save John from Jolly Roger's army. It would be really cool if we cound give them a happy ending!!

Keep posting your sightings and info here mates!! Really appreciate all the postings and ideas. Keep'em coming!

Captain Whale

Saw Constance on Andaba a few days ago...Was randomly tp'ing servers & she was on the wharf.

Got an update on Ol' Sooty!! He appeared during one of the invasions last night and gave us some background on himself. Hopefully Capt. C Ray will give some more details - he was there I was not.

Apparently Ol' Sooty was ordered by Capt. Cromwell to fire upon some Navy ships and he refused. Cromwell then ordered his first mate to do it and somehow Sooty got his foot fouled up in a chainshot round. When the cannon was fired Ol' Sooty became a ghost. So Cromwell seems to be responsible for the deaths of Ol' Sooty, John Moses and Constance Sorrow.

John Moses was hung because the ransom to free him was stolen by Captain Cromwell
Constance Sorrow died of a broken heart
Captain Cromwell - do we know how he died? I can't remember.

What a sordid tale - I am looking forward to seeing where this goes!!!

Captain Whale

YAY!!! I SAW OLD SOOTY TODAY!!! here are a few pics for you guys







Enjoy and happy hollidays:santasmileyitty:

Cool! nice screenshots Nephalauxia! Thanks for sharing!

Captain Whale

No prob Captain Whale! I hear that constance and john are going to re-unite! im going to get some pics of that and post them as well : ) ill see ya soon

Aye that is so awesome!! I can't wait to be there - should be really cool! I was hoping they would do something to get them reunited.

Captain Whale

I agree! The only ghost i have yet to see is captain cromwell. I wonder if he will be there too? After all I believe he owes John an apollogy. I also wonder if Old Sooty will be there to because him and Constance seem to be friends.

That must be antik. It was fun but fast.

Great shots mate!! Thanks for sharing them.

Captain Whale

Great shots indeed! Was a bit too laggy for me to get any screens, LOL, but at least i got to see the happy couple back together! :)

Great screenshots!! I couldn't get close enough to get a decent shot of the happy couple. We pirates did a good deed in helping John to escape the clutches of JR & reunite with his beloved. Just love happy endings...<<wipes tear from eye>>

oops:xshocked:
i accidently got rid of the pic constance let me take just for you guys:xsad:
GOOD THING I DIDNT GET TRID OF IT FOR GOOD!

so here it is again!!!

Nice screenies! I saw John the first time at level 2!

For the first time since the Constance/John story started, I finally saw a ghost today. Actually 2.

It was very nice. Especially since I was lucky enough to be in a disruption-free GM event - as rare as a cuddly Kraken I think.

The couple reunited

And moving on to the next world

Unfortunately only about 1 in 4 of my screenies save, but we were told that once this event is over John and Constance will not be seen again.

Also, John said we can continue to expect trouble from JR (no news there, I don't think).

He said something about burying his swords, but I don't know if he meant that literally or metaphorically.

The best part was when I said whoa and there he is lol. Good to see you there! Very glad I got to see a GM event with very little lag.

Nice screenies ukebec. When I was at the events Constance had to tell people to stop obstructing her vision so she could see john. Unfortunately people blatantly got in her face and wars broke out and nobody could see a thing.

Great pics everyone. As much as I prefer newer content, I think this was something pretty neat. It's a way of kinda closing this off.

I guess he meant that metaphorically, but when a bunch of people had an interview with Captain Walter he mentioned John Moses finding a sword before his arrest. It's all posted in black and white :D (or yellow, lol)

I have been asking John about that, but haven't got a clear answer yet. Will keep on asking though :dancetl6:

This is the sword John Moses found.

Quote taken with permission from disney potco interview with a captain.

When they mentioned new weapons coming out, if im not mistaken there was a picture of a golden cutlass with a handle that looked like a spider. Could be wrong, memory is a bit rusty. Will let you know if i find out more about said cutlass. :)

Nice shots Ukebec! and wow you were lucky. i do disagree on the part where we will not see them again though because i have asked both and they said they do wish to see us again so they might plan something where we will get to see them again.

Lol when I was at the event one of my friends in the guild was joking around saying "I HAVE DIBS ON CONSTANCE!" or something like that. John got a little jealous and killed him. It was really funny.
