The 2/10/2009 ship spawning movements and additional sailing changes sure are making this hard. Hope you all have been practicing...routes that were previously comfortable are now hazardous.

ed...quick question. can a captain launch say a war frigate...if necessary land on a wild island...and re-launch with a war galleon? or do we have to sail the same ship the whole time?

edit: just did a practice run...was out for 38 minutes soloing on my war frigate.

Yes, you may land and relaunch as long as you post ALL of the screenshots (like your example above.) However, to be eligible for the first three prizes, NO. For the Edward Lowe challenge, porting and switching ships is equivalent to repairing...making you ineligible for the first three (main) prizes.

So, if you have to repair, land your ship and launch another or repair, but take the less-than-100 screenshot, when you land. If you sink 60 then 50 then 105, only the third run would win a main prize, even though the total from the first and second runs (if posted here before anyone else) would make you eligible to win one of the lesser prizes.

Also remember, if you won 4th prize, then kept going and win 3rd prize, 4th will go to someone else. One prize per captain (with or without a crew.)

If you're Senile, and I know I aint agile - do I get to be hostile?

And, unless they give me a pair of pants with bigger pockets, I got no room for money. If only that were true in non-pirate life!

Clear as mud?

yes!

do I get to be hostile?

yes!

Agile? You kiddin me? Agile? You wanna talk about Agile? I just hope I can sail a ship!

Please remember to PM me your server preference, if you have one. Hope your practice today went well!

Well, I sent "Valentines Awards" to every lady I could think of...might help? :smiley64:

EDIT: OH NO! It's a trap! Now all the ladies I spurned by going off my userfriend list instead of the site list, will be mad enough to sink MY ship 100 times!
Edit edit: Why must Valentine's Day be so difficult for us guys?

Ya forgot the bottle of rum, Ed...always makes the day betters for ye guys!!

Hmmm. Haven't touched the stuff (in rl) in years...and the last few V. Days...hmmmm. I thought it was just that I was getting old. :-)

Problem. Typing "/time" doesn't show the time anymore. But, with F9 fixed now, you can hit it 5 times in 3 seconds to produce results like these examples:


By having both a launch and land picture, questions about timezones are avoided.

If anyone has a better idea for showing the filename, I'm all ears...but I'd like this to be as un-ambiguous as possible, so nobody can say I'm playing favorites or anything. In fact, I'd like this event to run itself, almost to the point of the posters here deciding who won, instead of me.

I'll even consider amending the rules, so that the earliest "file stamp" time (timezone offset) can win even if posted just after another? Probably better as it is now: first one to post here, wins. (Comments? Yes/No/Maybe?)

we are done!
