Current News: January 16th 2009 - Flex Your Pirate Muscles

[Commodore Larence]

I was in the Barano server for the 1:00 pm (pst) race. I think all but 2 showed up for the race I was in. I finished third, but I seen a lot of people cheating. Some didnt make 3 laps... some didnt swim around the shipwright and the dock... Some just ran over to the G.M. infront of the jail and said tag after about a minute or so lol. This thing as I thought was a total joke. It would have taken them maybe a days work to actually create a boss arena to take each group of pirates to, and run a fair type of race. The GM person over the line ups for the race I was in was named Rose some thing. She began the race by asking if any one had any question, and I replied that I did. As we all know the final leg of the race in the online instructions said to kill a crocodile. I being worried if this was some new creature within the swamp, wanted to know if it really just meant a regular gator. So I said I had a question and proceeded to ask after being recognized that I had a question, and told to pose it. As I was typing... "Get Ready ... Set... Go..." pops up on the chat. Being befuddled I hit "R" and went for it. I managed to pick up some ground and get in the 1st place spot as I was heading to the shipwright. After that I seen no one else till I got to the jail... There was some one behind me in the water, but that was it. I got to the jail and seen 2 others say tag... so i fired a shot at a gator, and put up tag. This could have been so much more organized... with so much better prizes than just gold. After talking to the GM after the race, I recieved rude comments, and threats of being booted by her if I didnt act properly. She then eventually answered me and said that a crocodile and gator are in the same family, its not that big of a difference... then she instructed me I should become a biologist if I knew so much. I couldnt believe how rude she was. I do not think any of these GM's really play the game... They may just be interns at Disney more than likely. I am going to wait one more month on substantial upgrades... Then I will be joining the continually growing sect of Basic Level 40's.
