The Caribbean Stands Together
Oh, what a night!
Over the past month or so the Caribbean has been going through a very stressful time; with the recent pandemic in the rise of hacking, many pirates have been currently questioning their position in the Caribbean. I know from personal experience and the word of many others the past few weeks has been a period of fear in the Caribbean, as pirates have had to be extra cautious with doing daily activities from sailing, to going to loot, to passing through a busy server, to even befriending others. It has definitely been a time of distrust and loneliness in the Caribbean; but last night, for many pirates, that all changed! After a month of preparation, pirates from across the Caribbean responded to a call to war! The British East India Company and Jolly Roger's Skeleton Army (under the correspondence of Captain Ezekiel Rott) have been preparing something big for the summer to hit us pirates while we are weakest. Luckily through the chaos that has been gripping the Caribbean as of late, a group of very brave pirates stepped forward to aid in the new war effort against our foes, and quickly we began to plan for our attack! Here we wait as the pirates begin to gather on the shores of Outcast: http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-01-12.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-01-12.jpg Here we are discussing the battle plans, before we head out on to the seas: http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-07-51.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-07-51.jpg As soon as the plans were finalized and every pirate gave a resounding "Aye aye!," we headed out on to the water, flooding the seas with the flags of dozens of pirates and guilds! The blockade started out rather chaotically, but slowly we managed to form in to position: http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-12-46.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-12-46.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-14-42.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-14-42.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...21-15-17-1.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...21-15-17-1.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-15-52.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-15-52.jpg Though we did not have enough pirates to reach Cutthroat (we just barely skimmed the tip of Port Royal at our farthest length,) I am estatic to announce that the length of our blockade was enough to place us at the top of the history books, giving us perhaps the LONGEST BLOCKADE IN CARIBBEAN HISTORY! Give yourselves a pat on the back for that one, mates! With history achieved and the Navy's supply lines cut short by a wall of massive pirate warships, it was time to gather together and strike down upon our weakened enemies! The crew captains and I called on all pirates to break the formation and gather by my ship to prepare for a charge towards Padres Del Fuego! http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-20-23.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-20-23.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-19-26.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-19-26.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-20-58.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-20-58.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-20-39.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-20-39.jpg With a final systems check on all vessels out on the water, the pirates shouted from ship to ship, raising their voice in the name of piracy! I gave the signal, and behind the Victory Shark the pirates charged down upon Padres Del Fuego, sinking all who chose to block their path! http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-22-22.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-22-22.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-22-19.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-22-19.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-22-47.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-22-47.jpg The defenses of Padres Del Fuego were broken almost instantly as dozens of pirate ships flooded the bay, sending the port in to chaos as black flags were raised all over the city! The brethren gathered outside the entrance of the Lava Gorge, where I took up to a platform and addressed the pirates of the Caribbean: http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...21-33-22-1.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...21-33-22-1.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-34-21.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-34-21.jpg After the pirates rallied themselves and raised their swords in the air, we quickly took to the ground and stormed the caves! Here we wait for the rest of our parties - including a few pirates who tried to take their own course - to catch up... http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...21-37-47-1.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...21-37-47-1.jpg The pirates taunting Jolly Roger - the coward! http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-40-35.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-40-35.jpg ..Though he did manage to get us lost in the Catacombs: http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-43-00.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-43-00.jpg Taking a quick break to honor the Co-Guildmasters of PNC, before continuing on through the jungles: http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-53-08.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-53-08.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-54-56.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_21-54-56.jpg And finally, we gather at the end of the raid with a slaughter of General Darkhart - with, of course, me taking command of his little tent: http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_22-07-51.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_22-07-51.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_22-08-20.jpg http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...5_22-08-20.jpg On behalf of all of the Partners N Crime and I, I want to thank EACH AND EVERY PIRATE who came out to support us last night! It is thanks to all of your efforts that we have gotten as far as we have, and thanks to you all we were able to spend our Anniversary making history with the finest bunch of pirates to ever sail these waters!

Sorry to hear that Cannonfury. Wish your grandma the very best.
Del, that was some night. I took a few screens capturing certain moments. It's not necessary to post them. Yours suffice. The turnout wasn't as large as the last one I attended, but it was better behaved. Unfortunately, not well enough to let you make your big speech. Instead, the short, simple, straight-to-the-point version was priceless: Skip the formality and go straight to the war plan. LOL! Beautiful. And off we went... Incredible how each of our ships made the perfect ring around Outcast. Surprising still, as the rest of the night would turn out, I didn't lag so much, nor did I ever disconnect. From my vantage point, it seemed as though we did have enough ships to reach Cutthroat. We still had a number of ships around Outcast. Maybe some had trouble loading onto their own ship. idk. We were still in single formation when I saw the gathering of ships on the right. Then, I suppose your call to break formation was followed through. It was still an awesome sight to witness. I was expecting all sorts of technical issues, but none happened. Even when we reached up to yours, waiting for the signal to charge into Padres, the game ran smoothly. Lag began after landing. Only happened in certain areas where there was a high concentration of ppl present. It's typical of course. And for those of you who are wondering where I am in that crowd, I'm the guy who shares the same color as Barney the famous purple dinosaur. Of all the colors that potion gave me, I got that one! But it's all good because its meaningful to my guild since we sang all his tunes back in the day. lol, I just noticed that I don't have his green belly but I sure have the green hair to match! Too funny. In the end, after going through that entire maze craze from Lava Gorge to Catacombs to Beckett's Quarry and through El Sudoron and finally at Darkhart, the best moment actually happened after it ended. Some Notoriety 14 walked in and exclaimed how there were so many lvl 50s there [i.e., in front of Darkhart]. Most were actually gone and the ones who were there were mostly AFK. Only two showed interest in fighting Darkhart still. His statement though peaked my interest because I detected that he has had some bad experience with lvl 50 UAs. I said nothing. I simply carried on with fighting DH and he joined in. Eventually, he got KO'd. He mouthed off how he was weak and all. Not a whole lot. Just a tad. Why do I bring this up? Because what was the event about? Friendship. No one there came to his aid. No one there talked in fact. Not judging; only recounting what happened here. So I did what came natural to me: do the right thing. So, after I finished off DH and the other skeleton, I revived him. He thanked me and confirmed my first instinct. He thought all lvl 50s were mean to guys as small as himself. We all know that isn't so, but we also know there are one too many who are. Anyway, we fought some more together and talked a bit. He reminded me of myself and how it was when I first started the game as a Basic. No sooner do I remember that he asked me about it. He asked if I was lvl 14 when I got membership. I told him I was over 20 which surprised him. I quickly clarified how that happened long ago. We fought some more until I had to go. My comp was finally having its heartburn. Hopefully, my act of kindness did much to show him that there are good lvl 50s in the Caribbean. I believe it has. For those who attended, for those who couldn't, make that night an every day affair. Make it a point to do the right thing. We all stand to gain more when we do. All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Be one of those good men, one of those good women, who does something. The future is in your hands. Good night it was Del. Thank you for the invite. Happy Birthday Partners 'N' Crime! And a hearty yo-ho unto you all who love this game as much as I do! :SkullBullet1: |
