Find one rank image unique to each sister site.


The rank images are the colored names under your user name that identify your guild or other associations. Each sister site has at least one that cannot be found on any of the other sites.

Bug 08-01-2009 11:53 PM

Sounds like fun Tepcat, I know some answers already! I also appreciate that you do different monthly contests per forum or I would be running in circles in more than 1 game lol!

JM Ohara 08-02-2009 12:18 AM

Some of these are excellent questions, but I'm out of this. I don't know the game well enough to know what a lot of that even is, so there's no way I'm getting 28 right. Sure I can do it for the lower one, but I'd rather not. I'll just keep on the lookout for all this stuff and see how long it takes me to answer these as a personal challenge.

Shnoodell 08-02-2009 02:06 AM

Nice I should have expected this since you did it on TTC, but just a random comment, nice job on that picture! Taking a flipping coin and editing in a scroll :P btw no way I'm going to get 28 right -_-

Tepcat 08-02-2009 02:12 AM

Sven Niscadae always does an awesome job with graphics :pirate2:

Shnoodell 08-02-2009 02:15 AM

hmm, i have GOT to talk to him about getting me an avi -_- lol

MacIronhawk 08-02-2009 02:17 AM

For question number nine, what are spokes.

On a bicycle wheel - they are the thin rods that run between the wheel center and the rim :)

On a wagon wheel - the spokes are larger - but are the same thing :)

Charles Darkwolf 08-02-2009 04:37 AM

I just need to answer 14 more of these questions and then I'll be done!

lostmymarbles 08-02-2009 04:46 AM

Omg. My dream contest....

* picture a massive smile...... and a hearty Muahahaha!

Eliza Creststeel 08-02-2009 06:26 AM

This is sweet, thank you um... um... whatever you name is...

Darn it! That's a question... I'd better go back and look.

chelle_p 08-02-2009 07:16 AM

for number 35 are you looking for your account name or pirate name?

on number 12 what navy medal quest are you talking about exactly?

Account Name

The Treasure Unlock Quest. Like the other treasures your pirate can collect once it is unlocked; Nine Rogues, Rudyards's Teeth, The Rhinewroth Rings ect.

The Commodore 08-02-2009 03:02 PM

On number 20, is that if you bought 3 sets, or 3 individual daggers?

chelle_p 08-02-2009 05:38 PM

did you know one of the gypsys you can not see their feet at all so there is no telling if they have shoes on or not

On that question, it's SETS of each different weapon, so it should read "3 sets of throwing knives, 10 sets of venom dagger and 5 sets of sidewinders."

Sorry for the confusion.

This is true, so assume that SHE is wearing shoes!

chelle_p 08-02-2009 07:54 PM

the stands for numbers 22 and 28 dont really have names so are you looking for the name of the person running the stand or the island?

Give a landmark, shop, or person nearby.

Jack Sunskull 08-03-2009 07:28 PM

Another Great Contest Tepcat. I never realized you could change skins until I saw number 23. Thats cool.

Tepcat 08-04-2009 03:11 AM

I do be glad yer enjoyin' this little ol' contest, but I am a mit confused. I haven't received a single PM yet - are the questions too hard??? Jest remember that ye can send them thar answers in as soon as you gets finished. :pirate6:

lol.. just got back from my weekend at work.. give me a break.

chelle_p 08-04-2009 09:44 AM

i just pmed you with the answers i was able to find. hope i end up doing alright ^_^

Basil Dreadflint 08-04-2009 12:54 PM

For question #6.

I was trying to explain this question to another mod, and found something out that I hadn't considered. Different computers, graphics cards and drivers, resolutions, color settings, etc., all have an impact on people's colors. So, what appears to be White to me may be off-white or gray to someone else.

I'll give a hint. There is an NPC in a TAVERN, who's chair isn't the same color of brown as everyone elses. It appears white or gray instead. Name the NPC.

Charles Darkwolf 08-04-2009 05:44 PM

Well this scavenger hunt turned my brain to jelly :piratetongueor4:, but I have finished it and PM'ed my answers!

Deadeye Liz 08-04-2009 07:34 PM

For #22, Do you want all locations? or just one?

And I really don't understand #17, even though someone tried to explain it earlier.

For #22, all the locations you can find. I'll leave #17 to another mod to answer, since I can't think of any other way to explain it than the one already given.

Deadeye Liz 08-04-2009 09:53 PM

I think I figured it out.

Number 17 is about rank images. These are the colored names under your username. For you, Deadeye Liz, your rank image is Pirate, and it just so happens that Pirate is a rank image that none of our other sites have. Now, you just have to visit each of our other sites (can't tell you which ones since that is a question :laughks2:) and find one of those names that none of the other sites in our 'family' use.


EDIT: Oh well, maybe someone else will need to know :psmiley35:

Deadeye Liz 08-05-2009 02:56 AM

LOL, Thanks for the detailed answer!!! That is what I thought you were talking about.

lostmymarbles 08-07-2009 01:02 PM

lol.. glad i sent you the answers before you guys started giving instructions.

Jacob Morgan 08-11-2009 02:17 PM

Answers PMed hope I got a few right!

Eliza Creststeel 08-12-2009 02:40 PM

Number 6's answer was in a TAVERN!! Holy smokes! How about the guy I named who is a merchant and his chair DOES NOT APPEAR brown to me.

Jacob Morgan 08-17-2009 03:33 AM

LOL There's also an NPC that is sitting outside on a bench that is not brown either!
