Currently at a celebration. Seems the fireworks go off more than once unlike 4th of July. Was there when the GM lighted the bonfire, kinda cool to see that. Here are the screenies:

OH, BTW, WE HAVE MORE ROAST PORK!!!

Another thing, it seems that the host GMs are sending anyone off to jail for pulling out weapons and "practicing." Finally and end to the nonsense.

Well they started knocking people but last time I saw a Gm come to port royal. I wont explain in detail what he did cause to me it seemed like an abuse of power. And founders were saying stuff like we had to learn to respect him. So I'll spare you the details cause I dont want to make people who dont believe me angry. Anyone who wants to know PM and I'll be happy to tell you then.

Are you saying Founders wanted you to respect them, or the GM?? Because any pirate worth his salt will be respectful to any and all pirates within the Caribbean. And I'm sure the Gm's don't 'practice' using their voodoo on others UNLESS they are being a nuisance and/or have been warned many times before they are dispensed with and knocked out or sent to jail.
Disrespecting pirates are the bane of the Caribbean. They selfishly ruin the game for those who want to play, or join in the GM Events.

I agree completely with Polly. Too often I have gone to GM events only to have them ruined by some inconsiderate player. Would you accept such behavior in real life?

Got me pork!!! Unfortunately I missed the parade & bonfire lighting on the particular server that I was on-but there are more to come!!!

[James Bladefury]

Got my pork tonics also. Here are some screens of Phillipe and Ben's clothing. I have seen NPC and pirates in pirates online news threads, now the GM recived them. New clothing on the horizon? Here are my screens of their clothing. More screenshots coming soon!

[Cannonfury]

got all my pirates some pork too

[Ben Lockshot]

Oh I remember this from last year too. ( I think )

Well i hope new clothing be coming soon cause i really need a new vest and a new hat i wonder where the GM's got these "new" items from anyway.

[Ben Lockshot]

Well I herd somewhere "Might of been from you James Lol" But there was a Rumor that new Clothing was coming from Singapore. ( JUST A RUMOR )

Aye I noticed the new clothes they had on too.

Another thing I noticed just now after I logged in tonight are how often the fireworks are going off. I logged in, they went off. I changed servers, they went off. I launched my ship, they went off. I ported, they went off. I went into a shop and back out, they went off. So, I tried to go back in that shop in the middle of the show then come back out. Well, they started over again from beginning. This all took place within 15 minutes. I'm guessing that Disney fixed the fireworks so that they would start whenever you land on a beach,leave a shop or building, or even launch your ship. This way, we will never miss the show!! Kinda cool.

Seen the firework display myself this mourning. Cool show

[StellaInTheSky]

The fireworks I was seeing weren't even starting with an event, I stood on the beach at PDF and watched 3 consecutive shows because I was pretty sure the server was glitched. LOL

Looks like Independence day and Thanksgiving in one day, how fun...
