In order to celebrate this most patriotic of holidays

we have the Patriotic Pirate's Award.

Wouldn't it be really cool to be a pirate for the holiday??



Come join us on a race around the ocean of Navago on

If you have the lighter class of ship, please consider setting sail from Isla de Avaricia or Ile D'Etable de Porc.

This should minimize the causality list :psmiley35:


Then all ships will gather at Devil's Anvil where you will get behind our flag ships for the event.


Cutthroat Rogue

Bilge Dragon

Scarlet Executioner

Storm Runner



The ships will lead you on the following route:

From Devil's Anvil to:

Tortuga
Rumrunner's Isle
Driftwood Island
Isla Perdida
Cuba
Isla Tormenta
Outcast Isle
Padres del Fuego
Kingshead
Cutthroat Isle
Isle de Avaricia
Ile D'Etable de Porc
Isla Cangrejos
Tortuga
Devil's Anvil
Port Royal

and then we BLOCKADE Port Royal by completely circling the island!!!!!!


And to keep to the pirate code - don't stop to engage the enemy. Just blast them with yer broadsides as ye pass :pirate_flag:


Now, this be fun and all, but I know ye want yer loot and we have some mighty fine loot.

http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...gatta_2009.png


In order to claim the prize, all ye have to do is post a single screen shot of the event. Feel free to post more if you want, but it only takes one to get the award. Only the person posting the picture will get the award.

We have no idea how long this will take - it's our first ever try. So everybody has to come out and make it a huge success :HO4thSmiley013:

Please post your screen shots on this thread.

Andrew 07-03-2009 05:45 PM

Sunday's usually aren't that good for me, but I'll do my darndest to be there ;)

League 07-03-2009 08:00 PM

Blockading Port Royal? There's an idea.

Eric Daggerskull 07-03-2009 08:14 PM

Not sure I can be here for the full race, but I can probably come to watch. If I post a picture yet don't race, will I still get the award. Guessing I don't, and that's perfectly fine.

JM Ohara 07-03-2009 10:08 PM

Seeing as Sundays are a very slow day for me, you can bet I'll be there! Besides, ya can't miss a chance to blockade an entire island now can ya?:fireworks3:

Of course you will. Not everyone will be able to be there for the entire event because this is a holiday weekend and things are happening - just don't forget to get at least one screen shot and post it so you do get the award.

chelle_p 07-04-2009 11:41 AM

im so there! but what time is that for pacific? 12 or 1?

Sarah 07-04-2009 12:33 PM

I'll try to make it, sounds fun :)

chelle_p 07-05-2009 10:37 AM

what do we need in the picture to prove we were there? and when do you want us to post the pics we do take?

Tepcat 07-05-2009 07:17 PM

No one particular item is necessary for you to prove you were there. I think I will see a lot of ships in the picture;-)

Please post your screen shots by Wednesday the 8th in order to get the award. There is already a folder in the gallery set-up to receive the Regatta shots so those unable to attend will be able to see most of the screen shots in just one place.

MacIronhawk 07-05-2009 08:07 PM

We're just an hour away. I'm about thirty seconds away from Devils Anvil so I guess I'll meet everyone there.

Chris 07-05-2009 08:50 PM

About 15 minutes until this starts!

Andrew 07-05-2009 08:57 PM

10 more minutes! And looks like we have formed a single-file line around Devil's Anvil lol.

swashbuckler II 07-05-2009 09:05 PM

This was too much fun! A brilliant idea by Tepcat!

Hope you all had as much fun as I did, here are my screenshots :D :

Just before we started moving from Devil's Anvil, I take a look from the left side of my ship, and I got this:

This was sweet! I can't wait to do that again! But next time I'll be leaving my galleon in port and going for something a bit faster. :laughks2: Hey, how are you guys removing everything but the ships? It looks so cool!

I seem to have a serious problem getting Mod approval on my pictures. Seems I know some people with colorful names? I have some excellent shots but I just can't get them through yet. Will post them if I can figure out how to remove all but the ships from the picture. Help?

Crazypirate 07-05-2009 11:53 PM

Basil Dreadflint 07-06-2009 12:14 AM

I have 92 pics from the event. It will take me a few hours to just figure out what they all are, but I will post them all.
They will be posted in 4 sets.
Set 1 Approaching/rounding Cuba.
Set 2 Between KingsHead and Cutthroat
Set 3 Approaching Port Royal
Set 4 The Port Royal blockade

I should have just about EVERY SINGLE SHIP that participated in at least one screenie. Have fun looking for yours!

I will upload and post them as soon as I can.

Glad you used our gallery. That will make it a lot easier for us to re-visit the pictures for this event and for others to quickly find them.

Yes, please post them on this thread. That is how I am giving out the awards.

Okay, got it through after all. And I'll sail my galleon with you any time Luckie my friend! Kinda funny how you and I were the tail end of the pack, but the only place we could find to park was near the front! :laughks2: Anyway, here's a couple from me. I outdid even Basil on pictures, I took a whopping 400 shots of the regatta. I've got a stretch where we landed that runs like a movie there are so many. I'm not posing even close to that many! But here's 3 of them. Thanks for the F12 hint guys, I'll be using that from now on!

A whole bunch of us setting sail at Devils Anvil.

Really gives you a feel for the scope of the blockade doesn't it.
