This was interesting... and nothing new. First round, just ran after the EITC only to have them tp away. Once I ran across them again.. I decided to make one mad





and those led to this.. but of course he tped away -.-

[The Count]

Well ill say this

Black Guard: Where's Captain Waltar

Me:Is he the guy who is like the ultimate pirate but never shows up

Black Guard:Yup

Me: I doubt you will find him

[Evie]

I loved this! It was actually fun to get into it, and they talked to several of us. They asked me to join the EITC lol!

I really do want new content, but this was a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to it tomorrow.

[Sven Osymthe]

You don't know how right you are other Sven. Even though you weren't there, your guess as to it being full of people and chaos... well heres some more proof to that.



They should do this at random times - places should be mentioned, such as, where they will be. By that I mean, tell us what island, and give us a larger range of servers (A-C for example), but don't give us a time frame. Or possibly, instead of having the EITC GMs hunting down the Host GMS, they should randomly appear on servers - as a group or as a whole - hunting down pirates. Having them always go for one Host GM at a time makes no sense, especially since they always end up finding the same GM over and over again.. only to end the same way - Find the GM, threaten to arrest him, back and forth conversation, pirates show up, EITC runs, EITC then finds the GM (who at this time is supposedly hiding) and the cycle continues again.

As for the GMs improvising by running, the way they went about it made it seem as though that was the way they wanted it to happen. The Host GM that was confronted, and the EITC GMs went back and forth for a little while, once the Host GM told the pirates to attack, the EITC GMs ran away. As seen above I had one attuned and was healing him, I did that since all the others tped, so I figured i'd stop one, just to make that worth my time

[Sven Niscadae]

Ah, so it was more of a stage play. Well, that's fairly interesting choreographing at least. Good idea on the healing as they couldn't teleport "while in battle" so then he jumps on his ship so could teleport away.

Would still hope for a random chance meeting. Dark alley like. 1 pirate surrounded by their lot being interrogated while on the backend they could flip a bit to disable your pirate from teleporting and others teleporting to you so you can't escape or call for backup too easily. I may just have a more vivid imagination though.

[Sven Osymthe]

That certainly would make it better. As we've heard over and over again, they are supposedly after those who sunk EITC ships, but in this event, whenever someone insulted the EITC, they would say a phrase that meant, they were added to that list of pirates.

I don't think we can expect to see them doing this at random if they haven't kept their word on those other matters. They say they are hunting those who are fighting against the EITC, but they're only going after (from what i've seen) 2 different GMs, and just repeating the same act over and over.

Hopefully what they're planning on doing from this will happen soon.

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

Okay. I got the idea of this. Let me ask this now:

What if I WANTED to tell them where Captain Walter was? Is there a player other than the Game GMs who would know?

Guess if I run into them I'll tell them I know where he is and see if they follow me....

BTW: When did this turn into the Captain Walter show?

[Juliana Maria]

You should try that Bart ... Lead them all around then after awhile just say to them, "And why might I ask.. are you following me?" LOL

[Orangemarker]

Sounds like a good idea Bart. You know, I really wouldn't mind being one of them EITC blokes anyways. What would be even cooler about this update would be if[ you could become an EITC goon for a day.. or better yet, do a quest for an EITC outfit? I think I'm on to something here people!

[League]

We should make a pirate called Captain Walter Walter (just to clear any doubt as to whether the name is first or last). Then we could be all like, "Right here" and they'd be like "What now?".

[edwardburnskull]

well, a EITC costume quest may be a little off, maybe more of a disguise to sneak into a fort for a story quest. being able to wear that causes too much chaos.
EX:
Player: kill the EITC
ME: this is an outfit I found
Player: Thats what all the EITC say

It would just be an annoyance

[The Count]

Well they came danced a little talked about how much there job sucked ppl wouldnt stop asking CAN I JOIN? CAN I JOIN? they pretty much ingnored everyone and after twenty minutes they teleported


Funny thing is they got attacked by one of the navy cadets on port royal

P.S I want those twenty minutes of my life back!

[Aaron McEagle]

I came right when Walter left... But i did get his Pirate Profile =)

[Evie]

Well, I really loved it.

It was something different to do on a Saturday. My guild & friends had a great time hunting the GM's and then role-playing with them. They changed the game from yesterday, and actually responded to the things we were saying, which kept it fresh & fun.

I think maybe it brings home that there is more to this than leveling & rep. Its a game, and there are a lot of things we can do just for fun, too.

Plus, I'm hopeful that this is their way of introducing something new that may be on the horizon. A teaser maybe?

So Walter DID make an appearance... interesting...

Just out of curiosity, do the "EITC Guard" GMs have weapons/weapon levels just like pirates? Or are they just pirate GMs with spiffy outfits? Sorry, I've never really participated in a GM event - except the Shamus O'malley search, but I gave up on that pretty quick.
