[Achilles]

Well Mates,... in conclusion


All I can say is... WOW,.. what a night and fantastic turn out to the event,...
there must have been 45 to 60 Pirates searching at the beginning, many more than signed up. The chatter reminded me of the Founders Feast festivities, especially the conclusion celebrations.
At the start I, Achilles, who was simply a Event Referee was surrounded by 24 Pirates yapping about the start and speculating over Covert Founder hiding spots.
Then the start of the event and a GO,..GO,..GO… and the race was on.

There was much in refereeing, watching over John and updating the events on the Web Sites. All just too fun,…. I hadn’t had so much fun in this fashion in a long time.
This was so last minute,.. I can’t wait to see the next event when we give proper notice to all Pirates! Compounding the fun and adventure,…

I must say, many of you Pirates, like Moderator Maximvs said about Edward, are calculated hunters, Man, you guys had this down to a science. Too cool.
To those who had never tried hunting down a Pirate in such a manner before , just imagine the next Treasure Hunt event, you have some experience now and learned some cunning Pirate moves I’m sure and some stealth maneuvers.
Teaming up was a smart move,.. but that didn’t diminish the tactics of several of you savvy Pirates who took out on your own,.. Perhaps you will share some of your skill in replies and future team assembly for the next event?
We will work on getting creative, we have some great ideas.


Congratulations go out the Victorious Pirates who tracked down the Covert Founders.
The conquering Pirates of the events are:

1) Edward Edgemenace of the Driver's Education Guild,who after finding the first Covert Founder, Molly, requested that he forfeit the triumphant moment, send the Covert Founder back into hiding and allow another Pirate to gain the victory and notoriety. This was most impressive to us all of the Founders Guild Association and admired his generosity and believed it ought to be honored by this mention of facts.

2) Swashbuckler II of the Onyx Destroyers and Horus, not only teamed up to combine wits and skill in achieving the second Victory, but managed to catch “John” apparently snoozing as his unaware controller was busy posting updates on the Web Sites…lol … Nice Team Work Mates!

3) Swashbuckler II of the Onyx Destroyers went rogue taking his mad skills and capturing Molly for the third Victory, showing himself to be a very crafty and sly Pirate, incisively scheming movements that maneuvered him to the victorious attack. Very nice once again Mate!

Lastly,… poor Covert Founder-Regulator,…
nearly ambushed by a very thorough Kani of the Spartan Ellite and relentlessly pursued by a unyielding Amelia Wavescarlett of the Seafury’s found himself being tested to his limits by not only these perceptive Pirates but others who would see the elusive Founder part with his Gold,.. to his greedy enjoyment (as is any Pirate) He remained a free and wealthier Pirate, evading a victorious attack for the full 3.5 hours of the event,.. he’ll be on guard and much more cautious knowing what level of adversary he’ll be facing at the next Event !
So we wrap it up for now,….

Again, thank you Pirates Online Forums for allowing us to post and promote the event, thus contributing greatly to the accomplishment of this endeavor. Truly appreciated.

Thank all you Pirates for your participation that made this event such a success.
Your attitudes and support was fantastic as was your enthusiasm.
Your excitement during the event was contagious, causing many Pirates that had not heard take notice, inquire and participate even though they hadn’t signed up..lol


Thank you all for allowing the Founders Guild Association to serve you in
this fun filled event.
Until next time Mates,…

Best Regards and Happy New Year,

Most Sincerely,

~Achilles
