Haven't been to a wedding, but I have attended several birthday parties of guildmates. We sing happy birthday and dance. Actually it's pretty fun and you make your guildmates day.
Still don't think i would attend a pretend wedding, but whatever people enjoy. Plunder Hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

The whole wedding thing I don't get, but that's just me. I do have friends on the game that are girls, one in particular I call "my girl." Even though she is like 1000 miles from me in real life and married to someone. LOL It's just that she has been a friend since I started playing this game and I watch out for her. It's fun to play around with things now and then but the marriage thing is beyond me, just a little too much. Some people I think do take this seriously, and have thoughts about actually meeting others etc. So to those having "fun" with it, just be careful.

lol.. the marriage stuff is old news..
Saw a wedding months ago.. at the flower arbor that hangs over Valentina on PDF.
Lol, even knew of a "twist tie" marriage... some chick said she had a twist tie husband (another pirate who proposed to her.. but all he had on his desk to offer her was a twist tie). The was verified by the guys brother, who said it was pretty b***sy of him since his real wife was just in the other room when he proposed. Which goes to show you never know who you are... uh hum... hooking up with. There's alot of role playing going on... lol ... guys you could be hitting on a teenie.... or someone's grandmother...

one of the more disturbing things i heard was that there is guild full of vampires. And the person who brought it up seemed sincere when he said he was concerned they were out to get certain guilds.
I couldn't help but sit there and laugh at the absurdity of it all. |

Aye I've actually been invited too a few weddings, I think they can be fun but this game was not made for that... They "wed", as easily as they "divorce". I hope that this doesn't get people thinking that a weding or divorce is that quick and easy. But if pirates really want to "marry" POTCO has not said anything so it's O.K but I strongly suggest not getting married in POTCO...

Dang and I thought the guy telling the 2 girls he was running around with how to dress was odd. Makes you scratch your head at times really lol. I've had people come up asking me to be their mom, sister, daughter or girlfriend and I just remind myself that these are probably kids so I just wander on my merry way. At least they amuse me lol.

i'd be afraid to do weddings in-game especially since the Disney-gods seem to have itchy trigger fingers on the suspension buttons.

I can see both the positive and negative aspects of these in game BF/GF relationships and Pirate marriages. Took me a while to understand the complexities of it all. At the time I started playing I was at the very end of a long term real life relationship, not looking to get involved with anyone and definately not looking for that sort of thing in the game. The first I heard of a Pirate Wedding or a BF/GF relationship in the game was from a really whacked out lady who stalked my Avatar for about three weeks. I had met her while crewing aboard a friends ship I'd only been aboard for maybe an hour joked around with the crew a bit, during that time I accepted a friend request from her, then went off on my own. The next time I saw her I was out doing some solo plundering and she TP'd aboard my ship uninvited and began some really heavy flirting with my avatar. About 20 minutes later another female pirate friend decided to TP to my ship and this first lady suddenly became insanely jealous threw a tantrum accused me of cheating on her and left the ship. I was left completely puzzled by all of this. Couldn't understand how I could possibly be cheating on someone who I'd known for a little over an hour and was not involved with in or out of the game. About a week later she teleported to me again and I had a talk with her trying to find out what was going on. I still had a difficult time understanding this "in game BF/GF relationship thing, and here she was telling me that she really liked me and that one of the goals in the game was to get married. Well this was the first I'd heard of this. Let me add that she was in her 30's an adult I'm older so both adults. Also in my conversation with her I discovered that she was married in real life and having marital problems. I asked her how she though that having a fantasy relationship with me would help her solve her marital issues? also told her that I was not looking for a relationship in game or otherwise at the time and thought that this would be the end of it. A couple weeks later same scenario she Tp'd to my ship uninvited later another female pirate TP't to my ship unannounced and as soon as I ported the one who was stalking me went after the second gal with a pistol. At which point I made the decision to kick her off my friend list as I didn't want to deal with that sort of insanity.
I've heard of several cases where individuals used the BF/GF thing in game as a way to cheat on spouses. And I agree with some of the statements in this thread that the young kids cannot grasp the concept of commitment involved in a relationship or marriage. I've seen several of these in game relationships fall apart where they seem to break up as easily as they get together. The game isn't a dating service. As to the adult players I can see where people can meet online and become very good friends, most of these ingame relationships don't work out. Playing with another persons emotions is just plain wrong. And some people use this to gain some sort of emotional gratification at the expence of others. I also know of two couples in the game who are married in real life and also have their pirates married in the game. I'm involved with someone in recent months in real life. We are also both POTC players and all three of my pirates are married to her three pirates in the game, and no not looking for a fantasy relationship our pirate marriages are just an extension of our real life involvment as a couple. So yeah I've seen both the positive and negative aspects of these sort of interactions. A plus to being married in the game is it helps put a stop to all those kids asking to be your BF/GF once you tell em you're allready married LOL.

The whole wedding thing or seeing players type "i need a bf" followed by several "i'm single" just makes me laugh...but since it is an MMO people are always bound to do some fun things when waiting for new content...
For the Krewe...we've done a Pocket Pirate Hide & Seek a few times on Tortuga & KH...was a lot of fun... a fun one to try would be Pocket Pirate Chess...just need 34 players...2 to call the moves...16 Pocket Pirates for Pawns and 16 others to be the Rooks, Knights, Bishops, Queens and Kings... would be a blast... |

Hey, I was married in the game to another Pirate. He's my best friend, and honestly, the game only was basically a way that we 'met'. We didnt use it to develop a relationship, it was mainly a way that two people who had things in common met (mainly initially we enjoyed the game!)
We got to be best friends and non-stop companions in-game, and that relationship just extended outside the game to the point to where we got closer than expected. Now, we're closer than two people could be, and are very much a RL couple.  We still play, but the game is a tiny part of our lives now. I can't say all POTC weddings lead to bad things however. I found a best friend, and partner... LOL
