Shadow Mercenary

Note on the compass that we see a blue ship for this Shadow Mercenary, not the multi-colors of an SVS ship.

Alternate Communication Needed

We need a reliable way to chat.

Disney has increased the failure rate of chat.  Granted, pirates with access to seeing the screen of a second account (family member) can know if their chats get through (usually).

I will try to find a chat room on line that is easy to find and use.

Please note, I am not trying to ask you for your identity.

Please, use your pirate identity, for simplicity both for you and for everyone else.

Or might we even want to consider pirate identities on Facebook?

GM Comments

Disclaimer: GM does not refer to our guild master for this post! 

You can estimate about when the comment was said by looking at the scroll bar on the left.  The comment below was the first. 

 
Now, as it reads, he says he is done.  But he stays in the area and continues talking--and you may find it interesting what he says next:
 
 

 
It's not that much of a jump to think, from what he just said, that he's ready to give away more weapons--or even, that it is fun for him to give away weapons.
 
'
 
 
This goes behind saying "more gifts coming".  In my book half + half = everybody. 
 
Algebraically that is 0.5 + 0.5 = 1.
 
 
 
We close with the last thing said.  Is there any way that the two sentences above...
 
could be bent, stretched or twisted...
 
to not mean...
 
"Everybody here at this moment is gonna get a weapon?"
 
 
Inventories where checked with no change. 
 
 
It now remains for you, the reader, to decide:
 
To what extent were the comments by Xaviar deceptive?
 
To what extent were they lies?

Approved Name Pirate given the Disapproval Window

 
I don't want to tell you how many times I've seen that little window starting with "We're Sorry"; I was shocked when it appeared for Hurricane since he has a name that has already been approved.
 
I get this every time I log in with him has my pirate.

Barricade... Or Not Barricade?

Two family members were playing side by side, and suddenly one noticed that he had a barricade by the bridge but the other didn't.

Romp, below, saw a barricade (before he was KO'd):




Physics, below, did not see a barricade:

Staff Enchant 2 (with a helpful warning)




The above photo shows the order of colors that I use when making the green "sixer" for Staff Enchant2.  It is highly advised to follow this (or similar) order strictly.

Finally, there is a problem that can occur.  You probably won't notice it if you only make one pirate, but it happened to me once (and hopefully never again).

There is a glitch in the game.  You want to make a green sixer.  If you make a red sixer or a blue sixer, the game congratulates you and it ends.   However, you DO NOT get credit for the quest--therefore you would not get the Burnt Staff if you made the mistake of returning to Madame Zigana.  If this happens to you then you need to go back and repeat the Staff Enchant2 potion (note: if you have successfully completely it, then you won't see it in your list of potions).

Special Note: since this post was written, I've observed instances where you can keep playing even after you make a red sixer or a blue sixer.  They may have fixed the problem. (cough- does any fix on this game ever last?)

There is a feature in my color line that helps to prevent this from happening.   Notice, in the photo above, that I am already up to fours on red on the left side (bad, very bad...)

What I do as a corrective action -- every time I get a red and blue (or blue and red) I put it on the right side now, so it won't add to the growth on the left side.   Of course, if I get a double red I will have to put it on the left side.

So how did this bad game end?


Even though I was aware of the problem, ironically, the game where I took these pictures was rather threatening for seeming to want to make a red sixer before making a green sixer.  Fortunately, what you see above was about as bad as it got, and soon after this I finished with the Sole Alligator, the green sixer.
