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

I was totally dissappointed by the entire fiasco.

1) Lag, lag, lag, lag
2) Griefers staffing the entire area prior to the race
3) Having one of the guildmembers of the race throw grenades at their guildmember's opponents to lag them and slow them down....it worked.
4) The guild that was supposedly there to 'help' the GM's, even though nothing is mentioned about a "help" guild in the grog blog. One of my friends actually had the leader of that guild kill the alligator as she approached. Thankfully, the GM that was there noted it, said to stop it, and my friend still got second place.

I am growing more and more disappointed with POTCO. As you said Commodore, I may become a basic lv40 as well.

Side Note: I really think that some of these G-M's are just interns at Disney. I watched Rose attempt to jump on that box infront of the Shipwright about 20 times while watching the last 3 races after mine. She never made it on the box, I was so amused at it.

I don't care if she is a GM, Rose was not gettin on that box Mine!




but sven managed to knock me off...




It was a total lag fest, and poor Rose seemed greatly ill prepared to deal with the crowd. And again with the "like your tat comment"...pfft

Nice to see a lot of POF'ers there though

Well,.. I agree that the Lag was just off the hook crazy.
Really, there is no way to have this type of event and not have the lag, unless, as it was mentioned, contestants whisked off to a private server or, perhaps added for the moment of the event in a special Crew and then have access to a special server location?

There are many other type of contests that would work, but in truth, a MMO will not work with this type of event with all congregated in one location.

And last,.. for the record,…
Rackat, I do apologize to your friend, whoever that is, who participated at the time I "shoe in" participated as well. Your description clearly points to me with the exception that “Achilles” is not the guild master, John is,.. But,.. nonetheless, that was the last race and contestants were lacking and Captain Walter declared a “all can race” moment and so I took off with the group and ran the whole course, and at the last, killed a gator, perhaps since I was a shoe in I shouldn’t have shot the gator, GM Xavier was a little surprised as well as you noted and I had some explaining to do at that moment.
So, please tell your friend I am truly sorry to add to a frustrating moment if that was her perspective, and I would gladly give her a gold code if she did not receive one or was unfairly deprived of such.
Most sincerely,….

-Achilles
