*Note that all times are the same when we do it I just putted all of the times there so that way you could see what time matches the EST time. See yea there and what ship will you be taking? And if we don't get more then 4 people joining the event is off. So See ya! And I might change the date so keep checking the first post now and then. Now the race is on 28th so I don't have on the same day for the CTF Event. So see ya! (Same time). And this race is not on the same time for the mod hunt. (But on the same day NOT the same time).
**The event is on cause we have at least have 4 people coming!
***If you can't make it please tell me by PM me.
If your computer isn't working at all, that is fine we will figure that out if you are not here.

Isn't this on the same day as the "Save the Mods" event?

Yep... it is indeed.

I believe it is on a different time. I'll check........ Ok yes different times:
Saturday March 28th
from
5:00 PM to 7:00 PM CST

(that do be:
Eastern 6:00 - 8:00 PM
Central 5:00 - 7:00PM
Mountain 4:00 - 6:00 PM
Pacific 3:00 - 5:00 PM

UK 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM)

So it is not at the same time as the MOD hunt.:smiley57:


Sure how do you give money to the people?

Poker... i think that MacIronhawk had a guide of some sort in a different thread... Hopefully a mod can put it somewhere here.

I'll join.

I might not be able to make it, I'll see.

ok thanks I will put you on the list!

Looks like a fun event. Mark me down as possible, if my comp is running right again.

Aye I will!

Thank ye kindly mate. :stwink:

Perhaps we can make the last race to a different island such as Padres or Cuba.

That may be a good idea you got, aye I might, we have a long time until the race so I'll think about it.

Im in, but i might not be able to make it, im planing a party then

I'll try and make it.. it's for the whole forums right??

Is it through PVP? <-- makes the race more interesting LOL That way ye can shoot and ppl have to restart =)

Aye, that is fun, but not exactly sporting. If yer racing in a light sloop, how can my great big 'ol war sloop hit ye?

Aye that's right but as like the commodore says it won't be fair if you are a light sloop and have to rum for you life if there is a war ship, so no but I will put you on the list!

I'll try to get the Krewe involved.

count this pirate in: Redmenace

Aye I will!

Ok sure we have about 3 places left for people so if you would like to be in it we can do that. Just tell me if you do.

Oh, I have a feeling you might want to have a few more spaces.... I have a feeling there'll be a few Krewe mates who wants to sail!

I didn't see a contestant cap.

ok sure! I might make up to ether 15 or 20 which one?

I'm gonna add to the awards.

First : 1500 gold, and learns an interesting ship glitch which i believe few people know.
Second : 1000 gold
Third : 500 gold

All the rest will get a 100 gold if they even want it.
I'm sure we can give that to them in king's arm.
If we could we'll even play some of that cannons of the deep music.
Oh and I believe that after i teach the winner the glitch..
you should all be able to see the ship on land if u ask.
