Most embarassing stories from the game

[Cpt. Charlotte Doyle]

of course i'll sail. im never one to pass up gunning. being a helmsman is another matter entirely, what with me having th black spot and all... which brings me to another embarrassing point...

every time i am behind the wheel is an embarrassing time for me. i dont think i've launched once when i havent gone for a quick tour of the navy's less than lovely prisons as result...

[CarribeanThunder]

Actually, I'm gonna turn this into a post to hold all of the GOLDEN Embarrasing Stories here on this thread ( I'll be giving Reputation to those who make my Golden List ).

Golden Stories:

By Kat Five Knives:
Easy to have embarrassing moments when chat does not work properly. One guild mate meant to whisper to me that he didn't like another guild member because he is a rep stealer. Imagine his horror to find that it appeared on GUILD CHAT when he pressed enter. BTW the victim was standing right next to us
LOL.

By Capt. Charlotte Doyle:
here's one! i called cap'n Del a she on the post below you game... that was massively embarrassing. especially becuse i got to meet her...i mean him today!

By The Commodore:
Well, one time I was strolling padres, before they redid it. I walk on some people, dressed in white and black. A wedding no doubt. So, I said something, then looked, and realized it was a friend who I had no idea was doing this.

By Capt. Charlotte Doyle:
well, lets just say she talked a big game but when it came time to deliver, she was caught off guard by the Skeleton boss' newfound skill. much to the amusement of the pirate she was bragging to. XD

By combatlizzy:
....Lizzy was referee at a guild event on Menta. She was to stand at entrance to determine which team made it through Menta first. Well, she went & stood in the entrance to be able to watch closely. Soon everyone was standing behind her. All had made it through the cave safely, but she never saw anyone exit...Lizzy had positioned herself too close to the entrance to be able to see the pirates leave the cave.

L25, almost to off jail after finishing off some undead for Woodruff, getting on my ship, get pinched in the rear by a L4 crab and off to jail i go. So happy i had no crew with me then ... but hey, i bet this has happened to a lot of us. Right?

By Badibi ( Post #29 ):
Me and a Friend had found a pretty much empty Port Royal and decided to stay on that Port Royal for an invasion. Then i found someone, cant remember the name but the person had 'dog' in the name. So it was just me, my friend and 'dog' in the crew. I look up at the crew and find out he's knocked out. So i hurry over to where he was, but it was to late. So i typed in "Sorry about that, doggy" in which the reply was: "Do you always talk low to your friends?" or something like that.
After that, i had thought up of some new nicknames for the person. But i thought back at that moment, i cant really be to hard on him. Your reading the text, so he might have looked at my comment as kinda rude while i meant it in a more cheerfull tone. "Sorry about that doggy, i was heading over to revive you but you disappeared before i could get there. I sorry" Is what i should have typed..

There was another that happened a long while ago. Not really embarassing, but..

EDIT: Hey, could have been worse. could have been someone walking up to you and shouting out "Hey! Your that person that was really rude to the GM's/Constance! Your the reason she's crying! Your guild should boot you out!" when i was just doing the roleplaying stuff at GM Stuff or Ghost stuff in which i was saying the usual. "Long live Jolly Roger, Scourge of the Caribbean!" I wasn't being rude to the GM/Ghost by saying that now, was i? Or is having Jolly Roger as one of your favorite characters against the rules now?

[CarribeanThunder]

Nah, it's fine .
That story made it to the Golden Stories list.

[Johnny Storm]

I once was fighting a skeleton ship, and accidently shot my own ship with a cannon, i ran away from the skeleton ship and got to port royal, it was just like that scene from the first pirates movie when jack sparrow's ship sunk lol

[Tuefenhandel]

So, I was sailing along one day - completely full of myself: the prototypical 10 foot tall / bulletproof perception (huge chip on my shoulder). This is the result of having gone AGES since being sunk. The ship is open to the public, so I have a full compliment of gunners blazing away at a Behemoth - which is closing in on the port side of my War Galleon.

Apparently I hadn't been paying enough attention to the forums, as I was completely unaware that Behemoth's had recently been upgraded to include explosive shot.

So, here I am giving out pointers to the assembled masses that make up my crew like a hybrid of Admiral Nelson at Trafalgar and Socrates. Completely infallible.

Then, in total disbelief, I see one tiny shot strike my impervious craft and I have the slightest smidgeon of red hull indicator left. Indignantly, I remain engaged, absolutely sure that my sheer awesomeness will keep us afloat and victorious.

The double helping of humility I was served in Jail was mighty tasty.

Not to mention the 'mea culpa' I had to extend to the crew.

[Kat Five Knives]

This is not a specific story -
but don't u just LUV it when a mate says he/she has to go and you compose this well thought out goodbye post and just before you press enter, they log out? And of course, you can't stop in time so the entire guild sees your belated goodbye.

[Kraken Guard]

No worries Kat, happens with me and many others as well

Just for bringing this thread up, long time ago when there were still Port Royal Invasions. I was running around town to see if there were any other pirates that would like to crew up. I look down at the chat just in time to see someone saying..

"Up Chucks"


Trust me, it was scarier then Scary Mary was able to crew someone.. But i must admit, is Jolly Roger's dignity still intact?


"As Jolly Roger walked up the beach of Port Royal, time seemed to move in slow motion as he slipped in an unusual looking pile of Davy Jones knows what!" Poor Jolly

[James Bladefury]

Alright, so I was talking to a friend... yesterday she found a GM. I asked if feats of strength was going on, and teleported. Big mistake! I landed in tormenta with random girl pirates talking about the nice stuff they just bought. I ran away and didnt look back.

[combatlizzy]

Lizzy has so many funny stories about herself from POTCO. Some downright embarrassing. Like this one:

BBK had a guild event Sunday morning-PVP Mayhem. Since I am not an expert at PVP, I just join in for the fun of it. Bart calls an all weapons Mayhem. I really don't think I have done one to my recollection. Anyways, the event started. Bart was flying around making pirates dead-he's very good at PVP! He runs past Lizzy & her puter screen looks like a car passed & ran through a mud puddle splashing mud all over the screen. Lizzy panics & cries out: "Something is wrong with my puter"! She runs for protection & the screen eventually clears up. No one says anything-maybe they thought I was joking. Anyways, after the event, it is revealed to me that Bart threw dirt on me as he ran past. DUH!! I had not encountered anything like this before & was certain my computer was dying! Fortunately, it was just Boss having the time of his pirate life. The joke was on Lizzy-AGAIN!

Yea lol i remember that day.... fun!

[Piplupower]

well, this happened today. i called my guild to come to my gun mastering party (still not mastered yet), and they got there, and as they got there just intime to see me knocked out. so my WHOLE guild saw me get knocked out by a level 28 gypsy.

[Nate Swordwalker]

LOL that happens all the time...

So there was this one time that I was using a shrink potion, right? And so I use it, I am all small... Then I say BRB and switch servers. I come back thinking I will be small forever, but I am only small on MY screen. I was regular size to everybody else. How embarrassing??
