Strongest Guild Competition - August 10th, 2010
 
Strongest Guild Competition
August 10, 2010

So you think your Guild is best, huh? The time for bragging is over mates - it's time for action. It's the Strongest Guild Competition. From August 10 - 24, let's see who's the best and bravest Guild once and for all! That's right, mates. It's that time of the year again, and we're ready to see which Guild will rise above the rest. Some Guilds might be better at hunting down skeletons, others Navy & EITC guards, while some Guilds fare better at sea. That's why this year's competition is divided into three categories to prove where a Guild's strength lies.

Here's how it breaks out...
Category 1: Most Skeletons Defeated - on land
Category 2: Most EITC/Navy Soldiers Defeated - on land
Category 3: Most Ships Sunk - at sea, of course (Flagships and Privateers not counted)

Every Guild has a chance to win and nothing to lose - but your nerve, eh? Turn your bragging into a reality by becoming the Top Guild in one of these three fun categories. All winners will be announced on the Web site after the competition ends. Apart from fame and recognition, the winning Guilds will receive a special edition Pirates of the Caribbean Online Desktop wallpaper with the name of the Strongest Guild congratulating them on their success. Join in now!


WHAT: Strongest Guild Competition
WHEN: August 10 - August 24

The Skirata Clan 08-10-2010 07:03 PM

Is it me or are they doing this every month or so?

Strongest this, then strongest that. Most helpful this, most helpful that.

Good luck to all that will be participating!

Jose HookHound 08-10-2010 07:08 PM

muffin pirate 08-10-2010 07:23 PM

So Now I know why Del was ranking....

I won't even bother because my guild doesn't do that kind of thing......

Raikel 08-10-2010 07:28 PM

Wait up..., wasn't this event a few months ago or something.... Either way, not too interested in playing against guilds who cheat and glitch to win....

Captain Del 08-10-2010 07:33 PM

They did this competition back in July of 2009, when it was first introduced. And yes, unfortunately, a lot of guilds cheat just so they can get on the boards.

Sven Osymthe 08-10-2010 07:40 PM

It also favors big guilds :piratetongueor4:

The only good news I got from this, the leaderboards will actually... work!?

Jackfiresteel 08-10-2010 08:01 PM

Hmm..... this should be interesting..

Speedway Master 08-10-2010 08:22 PM

I'm not in any guild, so I don't really have to pick sides on this one. Good luck to everybody!

I think it's more of, how many active Pirates you have, if a guild has 500 members but only 20 or so are on every now and again, I can't seem them doing very well haha. I think it's also matter of your guild's dedication. And as to those guilds who cheat... may they rot in Davy Jones's Locker!

Jello743 08-10-2010 08:41 PM

Cool another thing to keep us playing cuz we have nothing to do lol jk well i hope the guilds do great God bless u guys

True, smaller guilds do have a chance to do very well, if the guild is dedicated enough. But bigger guilds do have the numbers game, doesn't guarantee them a higher spot, but it certainly helps.

seafox 08-11-2010 04:59 AM

This is something that even beginning players can participate in within their guild...small, large or in between. Good Luck to all!!!:mat:

Crestshot 08-11-2010 05:03 AM

I see the Graveyard in PR filling up fast.... Brilliant, guild loyalties split again... GO MY GUILDIES! While you all do this, I'll be questing. :)

Clownface 08-11-2010 07:47 AM

Ahoy PartnersNCrime can I please join your guild?:jackhat:

charlottegold 08-11-2010 12:59 PM

How do you find out who has the most?
The leaderboards are down / do not work at least when I checked Wednesday morning so how do we keep track?

Dog Firestack 08-11-2010 01:07 PM

Either D has found a way and is too lazy to fix them, or they have men who work 24/7 to keep count, or they are trying out a new system....

How do they cheat??

Jello743 08-11-2010 04:43 PM

they cheat by using programs or using invincibility

Doesn't seem to be fully. I was in my ranking spot yesterday (shall remain disclosed!) for a few good hours, but the leaderboards said I only killed 160 enemies.. I could do that in 10 minutes, let alone a few hours!

And now that I think about it, I'm start to get rankers remorse already. After all, it isn't what you would particularly call... fun. I'll still do it, just don't expect to find me all day blasting away at those guys :P

Sven Osymthe 08-11-2010 04:54 PM

Invincibility doesn't really matter for an event like this. People cheat in a lot of different ways during these events, or when ranking in general. Can't really explain it better, as it's against the rules.

The leader boards aren't working right now. You probably defeated 160 enemies the last time it worked successfully. Buck is listed with 2k enemies.. he wasn't even online (long enough to get that much). That's one of the reasons I didn't do a thing :D

They really need to fix it though. Although, with the leader boards being broke, I haven't heard about anyone cheating (at least not as much). That's the only positive for them being down.. although some people enjoy ranking, no reason to take it from them..

Actually, it's totally a dedication thing.

I remember how I heard they only had like 15 active ppl during the contest out of the entire guild AND most importantly is they didn't start ranking til like the last 4 days of the contest. Each day was like 25K or something. That's some major dedication there passing guilds that had been ranking from the start & had a lot more ppl.

Dog Firestack 08-12-2010 12:45 PM

It's not just dedication....

If you have one member dedicated they won't do well. It's teamwork and dedication that will let you win.
