My ideas for the game

[Machazzard]

Awesome ideas everyone!!!
I'm particularly interested in the pirate towns that keeperofthecode described. It is obviously not a new idea, seeing as many a pirate have said it before. I do appreciate that you brought it back up though and I'd like to add to it.

I think, seeing as this is Disney and therefore meant for a younger crowd, maybe the whole government thing might be too complicated. Instead, I say that you get to form your own pirate "shanty" and customize it how you so please. When you join a guild, however, thats when the real fun begins. First, disney'd have to invent some form of guild challenge/ranking system. Each pirate would get to contribute to the fees(universal guild bank, that you can donate small amounts at a time from each member. This will help pay for the island) and challenge requirements(ex: defeat 20,000 gators as a guild in order to earn guild rewards, etc...). After reaching a certain rank (kind of like massive amounts of exp that a whole guild would add to) you should be able to purchase an instanced island. At that point you can choose to move your "shanty" into the new guild island to show off to all of your fellow guildies. In order to move your house, you'd have to pay an individual fine (20,000G maybe? or something around that) and get the permission of either the guildmaster, or the acceptance by 3 or so officers.

I think this would have great potential to not only be simple and easy to understand, but also alot of fun!!

edit:
**in your pirate house you could "build" a poker/blackjack table to invite your friends to play, and even a safe to stash extra ammo.
***In your guild town you can put your guild's money together and buy your own guild blacksmith/gypsey/gunsmith/tailor, etc.... And as you rank up your guild, you can purchase upgrades to make ammo/tonics/clothes cost less money.
