Captain Rott brings word from Jolly Roger
 

Ahoy mates, I am surprised nobody had posted this. :sadmh9:

Strange things be coming. Captain Rott brought word from Jolly Roger yesterday. Jolly Roger wants to have a parley with us pirates. He is offering us the chance to join him and serve him for 100 years. If we choose not to join him he has threatened us with a new magical weapon. Some sort of large cannon. He is also seeking to increase his undead horde and as we saw today the result was nasty. The undead waves in the invasion yesterday when on forever and Jolly made it to the mansion and took it down. They were very strong today as was warned in the Grog Blog. Captain Rott says we have until today to decide if we will join up or not. I think I can speak for the Elite Thieves that we are against Jolly and will fight. Rott also stated that other islands would soon be threatened.

Captain Walters - The good captain was asked what we should do about this. He of course denounced JR and said we should fight. He then joined a bunch of us in a skeleton hunt! :buds:

I would like to thank all the Elite Thieves for honoring the GM's and giving them respect. Some others caused problems and some were sent packing off to jail.

Captain Whale - If anyone has anything to add or something i missed please post it here.

Large cannon, I wonder if this is the heavy cannon found in the Phase files

Well, I'll fight Jolly Roger, but only because it's something to do. I owe no allegience to the governor of Port Royal nor to Cap'n Walter.

If Roger gets a new cannon, can I get one too (weapon quest)?

Fins, Tenacles, & Gills aren't my best look & I refuse to serve under anyone who bullies others...
So I can say with confidence that Lizzy & the rest of BBK will fight against JR to the end. Other islands like Tortuga will be harder to defend though. A couple of us chatted about this yesterday in our guild. There will be more entrances to be guarded which might require more pirates...idk maybe that is what Big D meant when they said Pirates Unite. But even though JR's army might increase, you now see more pirates in high 40 to 50 Notoriety. So we are getting stronger, too. We have also partnered up on a couple occasions with other guilds to defend. This might be necessary in the future to quell an invasion...not sure. But as you all know everyone in a guild can't be on-line for an invasion. At this time, the invaders seem to correspond to the defenders, but it appears that might change. Guess time will tell..Aye?

I want my new cannon attached to my new Royal War Frigate :D I don't care about the cost...

Must admit yesterdays 2nd invasion seemed a bit tougher, though I don't know if that was just because we were a bit sloppy (hehe, too much rum beforehand? :D ) but the first went as planned and won both in any case... bring it Mr. Jolly Roger ;)

Working together
 

Combatlizzy,

You'll get no argument from this pirate. Whenever an invasion is announced, the Elite Thievery Co. officers rally their members and we divide out between the main dock, bridge, and back beach areas. As other pirates, crews, and guild groups form up, we stand shoulder to shoulder to repel the invading waves. Once the invasion starts, there is no this crew and that crew, we fight as one :degen:

HAve not had the pleasure of fighting beside the BBK as of yet. But look forward to the day when we do.

Capt C Ray

Thank you Capt C Ray...
Although some disagree with me, I have learned from being on test for alot of invasions that combining guilds to quell an intense invasion does work. We have had the pleasure of joining up with other great guilds on open & for that I thank them for the invites. BBK does work the invasions alone alot of the time, but as I stated...with the invasions being random & rl, we can not all be there to fight all the time. So, here is to the future of us pirates vs JR & his undead army. And, I'm sure we will fight side by side with ETC soon.
Imagine an invasion on PDF??? Whoa!

im considering allowing one of my pirates to agree to serve, just to have some inside info. if infact this is a serious proposition, an not just a "i'll offer you a choice, but if you accept i have no idea what o do about it" kind of deal XD

What server/time did this happen? If some players aren't online at the time or place, they'd not know about it. Also this news hasn't even been posted to the Grog Blog (yet). I'm sure their presence is authentic, I just wouldn't expect most people to know of events like this if they weren't in the right place at the right time.

An ultimatum for a few that will affect the many (in proportion to those who met with GMs, that is) ? I'm sure we have fine representation in the players who were asked but still... (not like the result would be different)

Im guessing this week something "new" will finally come to the test server?

I wanna join Jolly Rogger ! yeah !

So, this new cannon...

If indeed it matches some of the files that were leaked, are the NEW weapons for us that we've seen pics of coming soon?

And I agree about Tortuga being different. But, is the Faithful Bride the intended target? If so, there are several archways and gateways along the way for barricades and defense points. Especially coming from the beach opposite the shipwrights. There is an additional court yard Jolly can be bottled up in.

Lastly, the only thing I could see affecting the OUTCOME is if Rott's offer actually AFFECTS the pirate. In other words, if you sign-on then you will be PART of the ASSAULT, not the defense. But I seriously doubt that. WAY too many high levels would sign up and the assaults would be too one-sided.

true, but we asked for a challenge, maybe the developers decided to give us one that would be frustrating for awhile until we organize ourselves. also, if the change DOES affect the pirate, perhaps it will be like the muertos moon curse. many of the player's i've talked to said they would be intersted in seeing what would happen should jolly strike during the moon curse. maybe this will be our chance to find out?

Call me a traitor, but where can I sign up to be in Jolly Roger's Undead Army? Being dead does seem to have its benefits.

WHAT!?!?


Where do i sign up?

I wonder if those land defence cannons will came into play for invasions.Me and someone I know in RL have been thinking about the idea of an invading fleet.As for stronger invasions I did one yesterday but they must not had gotten big yet,we won in about 8 minutes.Truelifetreasure Gm ,me and about 10 others.:th1287fm4:

Sorry Captain Whale, for being a little slow with this, but i had to go to sleep after the meeting so the copy&pasting had to wait. :)

Here is the Captain Walter part, i believe Pretty Polly has the Captain Rott part, so bother her ;) (hehe!)

-Content can be found from Founders Association Site-

I believe something big IS coming very soon, and i can't wait to see what it is! :dancetl6:

//Edit:

Sven,
This happened on Anegoso Ocean i believe, first there was an invasion, then we saw Captain Rott, and after him came Captain Walter

I'm very surprised that nobody wanted to join Jolly Rogers in that conversation you posted. Ye didn't edit them out, did ye?

wow. this is starting to become interesting! thank you for posting this side of the conversation!

I agree, Speedway Master...

Jolly Roger is better !

I am surprise that everyone played along....


I said it before and I will say it again... I will go to the highest bidder... Rott and Roger are offering new weapons while Walter offers nothing.

"We must find where JR is keeping his resoures" That statement seem to jump out at me. More so than the rest of the chat....

Actually no, all pirates present seemed to be loyal to the good Captain Walter :)

Im siding with Nitnek and Speedway! And Skirata!

But as i've said many times before: Im a villains fan, so my villains fan instincts tell me one thing with an event like this: Join the villains. So, where do i sign up?:piratetongueor4:

well, my older La sirene is EITC anyway, may as well let her follow orders, and serve roger.

Thank you Jeanne Stormcutter fer posting Captain Walter's words.

To those askin about actually being able to join Jolly Roger.
I don't be knowing but twas what Captain Rott said. Whether that be in spirit or in the actual game will have to be seen.

Combat Lizzy - the ETC would be proud to stand beside our BBK pirate brethren.

Captain Whale

Captain Whale

It would be interesting to join Jolly, just to see....

I'm trying to make a picture of Jolly and that "cannon" on his ship, while at the same time offering a parlay to a fellow pirate, all by using a script. (problem is, pirates are "slider created")

"Who do you work for?"
"For the highest bidder."
"I have a ship"
"That makes you the highest bidder." - Singapore crew and Jack Sparrow

I will go to the highest bidder. And if I do, Jolly will have a whole guild at his command!
Doubtless though, I'll probably double-cross anyone who gets in my way.

Oh! Oh! Pick me! Pick me!:laughks2:

It matters not to me whomever the highest bidder is, whether it is Captain Walter or Jolly Roger, i shall still side with the scourge of the caribbean.

lol, babidi! i dont ever remember kracken guard siding with Charlotte Doyle XD

As for the cannons these were sighted in a new video that came out that the Kraken Guard posted a topic about.I dug up these pics up from an old screenshot topic:

I dont feel good, i sicky!
 

Eh? There's more then one scourge of the caribbean? :o

Okay, now i remember:laughks2: But i still stay true to me word: I side with Jolly Roger.


EDIT: Having been staring at the screen doing nothing because im sick, i have finally posted a reply. Was confused when Dockwrecker said something about Kraken Guard posting a topic about cannons and stuff, then i remembered: The video with Beckett! i want cannons like those! :p

lol, i know how you feel babidi.

so here's a question. where and would said parlez take place?

Ezekiel Rotts Appearance
 

Here ya go Captain Whale......

Please excuse how its put together. I'm still mastering photoshop hehe!!

thank you for posting rott's end of the conversation, now we may be able to figure out a few things

Aye the calm before a storm this IS not over yet mateys!

What's a royal war frigate? And are you guys sure all this Jolly Roger news is true-because i'm a little skeptical about it.

So, if Rott came to see the pirates yesterday, wouldn't that mean hes gonna show up again today? If so, its most likely hes gonna show up in the same place, at the same time as he did yesterday. Which leads me to ask, specifically when (what time) and where (what island, since we know it was Anegoso) did he show up? t least if we know, we can make an educated guess of where he'll be.

Thank ye Polly fer yer post! LOL I didn't even think to get screen shots so good on ya lass.

Captain Del - it was after the 2pm (central) invasion on Sunday. That time be passed by now so I be hoping someone will post something as I be at work. P(

Captain Whale

hmm nothing new on test was this another "teaser"?:bookishfj7:

Interesting part of the video
 

http://piratesetc.clangrid.com/user/...eencapture.jpg


I snagged this from that video. The skellies are using the Skeleton cannon while the pirates are using the Gold Cannons. And there's definitely a lot of boarding action going on.

Obviously, this is worked up for the vid - but how much will we ever see?

Those two cannons might come by the end of this year , But perhaps the rest of ship customization will come late next.In that video the animation is really good too ,i'm hoping that will come out....almost looks like a cutsceen in some parts of the video but I doubt it.Theres two other ' phase pile ' cannons I can go dig up, but it keeps making me think the gold one and the skeleton one are the only things possible this year...........Well back about the offer, time seems to be up.....I sided aganst Roger.I am the Caribbean Crusader,I fight for freedom.

Another interesting part of the screenshot above? Boy is that undead spanish guy bloated! :p

lol hey rott never showed up on the server he was on Sunday to my knowledge. thats weird or like i asked before is this another "teaser"?

Forget the cannon! Look at the size of that skeleton!

Good, im not the only one that noticed that. As i said before: Boy is that undead spanish guy bloated! :p

Kinda weird because that is a glitch which they have not fixed yet, unless the whole bloating issue is intentional.. :mybadki6: Either way, i would not want to get a hug from him! :p

Also, why is the skeleton supposedly using the cannon while the pirates face the other way? Either Jolly is going to let us join him, or they're just boarding the ship. Otherwise, it'd be kind of meaningless for the skeleton ship to have a different cannon design if we don't get to use it.

EDIT: Maybe I shouldn't have used the term "pirates", since in reality, they're all pirates! I should call them fleshies!

Watch the video, he's not that big. It's just the angle the snapshot came from.

there seems to be still nothing new on test or anything new having to do with what he said does disney have anything to release for november? -_- :(

regarding the beastly looking skeleton, has anyone else ever seen a skin glitch that makes these guys look bloated when they taunt? I believe thats all that is. Also, having pirates fight against pirates does seem like it could be where this is heading, though i dont see how it could be possible, due to the fact that jolly will be swamped with willing minions...

In an invasion yesterday, there was only me and one other person. We lost horribly. After Jolly won, he said something like "the day is ours! Now onto our next target!" I think this might have something to do with this.

Take me for example.. :laughks2:


Unfortunately, i have nothing else to add except that yeah, there is a glitch where skeletons bloat for some reason when taunting. The Tormentians do the same as well! :(

same here babidi, even if it isnt Char. XD cant wait to hear more from the GM's

So... did Rott met with people yet?

Any chance you could get your shovel 'n pail and dig it up? Those other two cannon phase files you mentioned are catching my interest.

Those two cannons already posted ( Gold/Skeleton ) should be coming, as mentioned in a past post, by the end of the year. Ship Customization also has a chance of poking it's head at the same time. And as well, maybe the PDF and Tortuga Invasions.

Let's not give up our hopes to Big D yet! They're starting to make this game more epic, whereas before, there were barely any events to go to. It was just level, level, level, quest, level, quest and quest ( can't say the same for Toontown, though :sadmh9:... ).

here they are Thunder.

These aren't mine , I just dug them out of a topic.

cool i wonder which one is the secret weapon Jolly roger plans to use on us? :/

Interesting, I wonder what Jolly Roger plans to do with those cannons...

Well, after the update, the Undead ships have gotten more, Undead-looking cannons to fire their rusty cannonballs. But we have yet to find any info about that cannon Jolly Roger has...

Sign me up! As long as I'm vice president of his minions and get invincibility, I'll be loyal forever. Maybe next invasion if we say "Let me join Jolly" while he is attacking, maybe we will be undead! That would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
