Hang the Code?
 

Hang the code and be like Barbossa and many other pirates to follow?
Or honor Barbaossa,keep to the code and only shoot the undead and creatures?

I vote to "Hang The Code" I hate that we can't shoot vets or Eitc ,
after all Barbossa had no hesitation to blast pistols away at lowly Eitc officers in Singapore.

Stay the course and keep to the code!

My vote for Barbossa.

Why is this a poll question? Just random curiousity?

The code is there to protect pirates, mostly from each other. After all, if we're divided - we're easily caught and hanged. Even the No Guns rule protects pirates. If scalawags went 'round blasting our human enemies, what would stop them (with their more powerful muskets) from blasting us to kingdom come in return?

Aye... I feel sorry for any pirate that says hang the code. Jacks' dad be coming for you now...:laughks2:

The code is also there to prevent people from simulating gun violence against other people. Otherwise the game would be rated almost the same as other violent games which idk if its ok to name them here or not.

this is just some made up code for POTCO. Hang it! its useless and senseless. anyway if we use it we can killing a navy guy in a shot or two. so they better add new things like crouch, etc.

Code?
 

Pirates don't follow any code, that's why they are pirates.
Any set of pirate rules POTC ever talked about in their movies they broke at some point anyway.

For the same reason you go sad in toontown, you go to jail in potco, for the same reason there is no blood in the game. The game as many young fans and to accommodate them there is no use of guns on human beings. That will never change. Not even worth wasting your time complaining about it IMO.

I just dont understand why its ok to slice someone to bits, but not ok to just shoot em. :/

On the game side, it is marketed to younger kids. They dont want kids shooting each other or suing disney cuz they did. The rating would go up. And slicing or not - there's NO blood any way.

Do you really have to shoot another human THAT bad?

I say stick with the code. Disney (not Barbossa) wrote that code so that children would not be engaged in gun violence against authority figures. I know that it happened in the movies, and I know that it is not realistic in regards to what real pirates did. But the movies and real pirates didn't have voodoo staffs, voodoo dolls, or teleportation either. So, seems to make sense to me, in a twisted logic sort of way.

Stay with the code.
 

I agree, stay with the code. Along with the logical reasons stated, I am in no mood to have the navy start shooting at me with their muskets. With a musket's range, we pirates wouldn't stand a chance. And adding a crouch move wouldn't do any good. By the time you thought about doing it, it would be too late for ya. And for those thinking that by having a new option added that you could assign points to avoid attacks, it would just make leveling slower.:EnemyBullet:

Very well put, I agree 100%.

Keep to the code! Well this one anyways ;)

The code be laid down in the game fer a reason and its a good one as others have stated.

Keep to the code!

Nuff said....

barbossas option, though with a cool quote attached, failes to show the cap'n actual opinions on such matters. besides, we all know that when we arent visiting him in the grotto, that he is leading a one man raid of Kingshead and blasting away at every feckless ingrate in sight. Remmington never stood a chance.

so aye, i be inclined to follow cap'n barbossa on this one.... the code be more like 'Guidlines' than actual rules.

Code? WHAT CODE!?!?! I shot a navy man yesterday! :psmiley35:

We-ee-ell. Sumbhajee's mouthpiece was the one who originally said "Hang the code!" and we all saw what happened to him. Cap'n Teague said 'The code is the law", and I'm not disinclined to acquiesce to his statement.

In other words, it's Disney's game and Disney's rules. I'll be abidin' by them, says I.

According to the code, you can only fight Navy, not kill them exactly.

I agree to the code, it needs to be followed, the navy dont need to be slaughtered, but they need to be fought down!

I say stick to the code.

Contrary to popular belief, pirates did follow their own codes upon their ships- rules that were democratically voted upon and signed by all the pirates. The articles of Captain Bartholomew Roberts and Captain John Phillips are prime examples.

Anyway, there's enough violent video games out there with people shooting each other. One of the reasons I like POTCO so much is because it's actually good, clean fun.

actually disney pulled off guns very tastefully in at worlds end (the game) also rated e10 maybe just shooting navy and eitc but not other pirates

Stick to the code!!! If you have every played BS...blood squirts everywhere when engaged in a fight...not my idear of fun. And IMHO the younger pirates don't need that in their game playing...as a matter of fact neither do I..and I'm a very Big Kid!!

I don't see how you all call yerself pirates when ye say "hang the code"!

The code wasn't created to be used for a couple hundred years, than have "pirates" across the world begin to ignore it.

Stick to the code, mates. It is the only sense of order that we have now. ;)
