I saw a WEDDING on POTCO

My YOUNG son TP'd to someone on my friends list (something he frequently does).

I then came to the game console and saw a message where the person on the friends list asked my son several times to 'leave' and not to come back because he was crashing a wedding.

I don't think my young son read this (which he often does not) and it was apparant that he was not at the wedding at that time, so I could not resist tp'ing back to this player to see what the hubbub was.

I came to a 'glitch area' up in the sky with a row of 7 or 8 bridesmaids and 7 or 8 groomsman formed in a "V" with a make and female character at the point of that "V", with a single "CAPTAIN" type player at the head in what looked just like a WEDDING CEREMONY!!!

It was in a glitched area were someone I guess had walked through the back of the Misty Mire or Cuba.

Again I was asked to leave, but I hung around for about 60 more seconds, I saw the player took me off his friends list. But I could not resist seeing what the HECK was going on and I had a 3 word exclamation (in my head) that Started with WHAT and ended in CK!

Are some people in this game that lifeless and such losers to be REALLY getting married in a game?

What other weird player stuff (NOT GLITCHES) have you seen?

LOL!!!

I've heard of weddings in the game, but never seen one. I honestly don't know what to make of such things. Girfriend/boyfriend relationships with another person's avatar? Just a little too off center for me.

Just a note - the Thread was removed Temporarly due to a mis-read on Policies (well not really - but - some of our sites allow it and some don't). After review the thread may continue on its merry way (as long as it remains clean

)

And as for weddings - the whole thing just creeps me out :P I mean... common! I totally agree that if you have to get married in the game... *cringes*

hi my name is sven and i am new here to pirates match dot com.

I'm a lvl 40 and i like sailing, plundering and long walks in the moon light at the back beach of padres.

I'm really looking for a nice female pirate to settle down with.

I'm maxed on gold so if it works out and we get married i'd have to ask for a prenup.

That sounds like a waste of time.
A waste to go on the game.
It's jsut dumb.

Also so you let your son get X'd without caring so he'd come back and get upset wanting to know how that happened?

Gabyta · #9 08-29-2008, 01:23 AM

Congratulations to those players?

I was invited to a wedding about 2 weeks ago, and it was someone on my list of friends. They had bridemaids, a maid of honor, groomsmen, and alot of people were invited. It was interesting to say the least, and heck if someone wants to go through with a wedding and the people they invite go, then go for it, I say!

Yeah, it was cute, and cornbally, but still it was 2 pirates doing their thing with friends, they invited to the event. Oh, I almost forgot to say that it was held in Port Royal, during the day, and the bride looked lovely in white!

Yo-Ho-Ho!

ROFL

I guess if they want to do it, whatever, but really...?

LOL We had a wedding in game! Was a blast!

We tried it on a quiet server, and the attendance ended up being so many that the server was FULL and people were getting booted, and werent able to TP in, etc.

So.. ONE server change, let the close at hands know... again, it filled up. Everyone followed.

Change of server AND location.... FINALLY enough quiet for a wedding!

Was a BLAST - had Bridesmaids, groomsmen, a reverend. (A real one at that!)
I have pics up if anyone would like to see! I can link em!

I married the person Ive played with since I was a wee level 17 or so... LOL We leveled to 40 together on the SAME stump. Huzzah! LOL

Stuff like this is fun, and makes the small in game friends and groups come together. I say, why not!?

I say: Werd

Before we start - just note the 'harmless small group of friends quote' - but then notice they had so many they choked a server to death

LOL

Second - Nelly, I'm sure the Wedding might of actually been fun - but I'm going to use your example as to why weddings (or any 'heavy' social interaction) is just wrong - but everyone here shoud know the example is not directed at her but as a general observation on the topic.

====

Ya know, if it was just for 'fun' - like for example two friends of mine doing it for laughs to hang out with a few others for laughs for a bit cause we are THAT bored... maybe - MAYBE - I would look past it...

But we all know that isn't it at all! No one goes NEAR an A server for being tourtured with 'be my boy/girlfriend' requests... and I have yet to see anyone over 15 (or much more than that) actually do one of these 'marriges'... so theres no 'humor' in it - espically when your told 'to leave'??? Do they even understand the complexities of what a serious committed relationship means? (any kind of serious commitment or focus being understood by 15 yr olds on a game? I'm not buying it...)

Say what you want - but I cannot see there 'pretend' marriges as a good thing... POTCO is not a dating service its a game of Pirates and Plunder (go play Zwinki or one of the those social quirky games for that stuff).

Well... I could say that some of us don't take ourselves too seriously.
