New Years Eve “40K the Easy Way”~ Treasure Hunt!!

[Edward Edgemenace]

Thank Achilles, for hosting this. It was perhaps MORE fun than I expected (and I had no small expectations.) Crewing up with other hunters at the start, was the key to spreading out the net efficiently. With a bit more coordination, three people at a time should scour each island so that Regulator can't escape again. :-)

I found a tattoo shop I didn't know existed (or forgot about entirely) on Cuba. Investigating Ile d'Etable de Porc got my pirate trapped in a dead-fall - whoa - good thing nobody hid on the SvS islands. Even though the covert founders can't sail from them, there are glitch-free ways to run indefinitely on both of them.

Please consider a quiet server next time. Quiet does not mean other pirates are there - just means less lag (which was a very significant factor.) Also, please consider giving the "hints" over a much longer period of time. By the time my browser opened on POF to tell me the 5 hints, it was the one-minute warning (and some teleports were taking over 2 minutes.)

Even the poker transfers at the end were amusing - trying to get a screen shot of a huge poker-pot was something I was really looking forward to. I assume it is possible to get the pot over 100,000 gold, but haven't seen that yet...

Perhaps for next round, the referees could crew up all participants, leaving crew-matching on so that disconnects have a way to get back to where they were before they crashed out (I lost count, how many times I crashed out, during the event.) That way, covert founders could request the referee founders to toggle the crew icon twice, to add additional verification and so they don't spend as much time running away from not-participants.

Can't wait for next month's event. WELL DONE!
