Well...I finally made my way to one of these events. It was last night on Galaana Ocean. Not too many pirates showed up for this one but it appears that John and Constance have groupies now.

Comments ranged from, essentially, "Look how ANNOYING I can BE!!!" to "Oh my, I am crying over how lovely you are..." to the oddest question of all, "Can I ask you a question" with no follow up.

But I came away with a new appreciation of just what goes into these "events". While the whole role-playing thing isn't my cup of grog, I can see why it works on Pirates Online. It is amazing to me, though, just how little the "Ghosts" have to say. I have some decent screenies but they are just more of the same. If you want to see them, let me know...

Things I don't get though.

• People who try to get Ultra-close to the ghosts. Back up a little guys. There are plenty of other pirates there...
• Pirates who show up just fawn over the GMs. IS there any real information gleaned from these events?
• People who show up just to disrupt. Why go to the trouble? If you don't like role-playing, just stay away.
• Pirates who tell other pirates not to disrupt. Sort of makes them a disruption too. Ignore the annoying pirates and they will go away as soon as they realize that they have no audience.

Anyway, KUDOS to the Pirates Online folks who had the temerity to announce the Date, the time and the place of a GM Host Event. I did run into an old friend there who was not on my friends list (it was a new pirate of hers) so the whole thing worked out fine for me...
