Marceline Guild, at Your Service! ~ July 28, 2011

[HammyTheSquirrel]

Plundering at sea has become a challenging and risky business. Enemy ships are on full alert, Bounty Hunters scour the high seas, and islands fearful of notorious Pirates are closing their ports.

The Marceline GMs will make surprise appearances aboard public ships this weekend, to help Pirate crews battle, evade and survive at sea… Scoundrel-style!
You heard right! You will hold the helm while a GM serves in your crew.
Need a hand on the cannons? Our GMs are battle-ready and glad to be of service.
Not too handy with a hammer? Never fear - Captain Xavier Hench has been doing push-ups and he's ready to repair your ship to keep you afloat as long as possible!
The Marceline “swabs” will also aid Captain ‘n crew to increase their Scoundrel level by dispensing sound nautical advice on navigation and strategy (at Captain’s discretion, of course).

GMs Captain Xavier Hench, Catherine Harcourt, Thatch Roberts, Bonnie O’Bailey and Phillipe Gaston will be making the rounds on public ships during these times:
When: July 29 (3 – 4:30pm), July 30 (3:30 - 5pm), July 31 (3:30 - 5pm)
*All Event times are Pacific Standard Time
Where: Public ships on Andaba, Andoso, Angama, Barano, and Battama
If you want to partake in this Event, remember to set your ship to public during the scheduled times!

to purchase all ship types!

I'll be sure to find Pretty Polly and board her ship...as the game Gm's love her

[The Skirata Clan]

This is exactly what I always wanted! Forget customized ships and new quests, This is what I want in the game!

I should start announcing when I will be playing too.

[Slasher]

Hah, yeah, that would help.

[Dark_Pixie]

Oh yes, it would be lovely to have a Game Master on my ship. I'd feel on top of the world! I think I can do those times, too. You'll be seeing me on a littler pirate, destroying ships at that time. :P If I was the captain of the ship, though, I'd find it pretty awkward, actually. Especially if it's just me and the Game Master. Well, that's just how I am. xD I love the sound of this...

Come, on! I hate the PST timezone thing!!!! It's dinner time where my folks are at, and we go out and eat on the weekends! They put it on a good time for them, but not for everyone else! :'( I wish they would work on their timing. Like, before lunch for them, and AFter lunch for us....

[Captain Gas]

I wonder what the odds are of the Game Masters coming onto someone else's ship... perhaps if there's a small amount of shipmates or the ship needs help? I'll be sure to do just what Cannonfury said!

[akamystic]

Perhaps they will be open to questions and provide feedback. Get ready to take some screen captures .....

[Dark_Pixie]

I wonder how many public ships we'll see on those servers this weekend? X_X

[akamystic]

A cornucopia ......

[Davy_Mcwrecker]

Just a few more minutes........
EDIT: Bonnie O'mally stayed on the ship for 5 minutes, and left. She was probably tired of all the : Lets fight QAR! Can I join your guild? lemme friend you!!! shut up noob, let the gm speak!!!!

Enough GM events. Enough. Just enough. Do more updates instead of this, kraken, yadda yadda... man I need to get my complaints to Disney on a recording. I've voiced them so much over the years and apparently they arent being heard.

[Davy_Mcwrecker]

If ye dont like GM events, dont Attend them. They host those GM events, so they can get by without any updates for a major update.

Yes, that is very believeable, considering they get over several thousand e-mails/calls, ect. a day.

Just be glad they had this event, than going a long time with out anything.

That's just my .

Some people like GM events. Especially the kids who play this. It's very special to them. And come on, we just got Scoundrel Of The Seas! It's quite ungrateful to constantly ask for updates. We get plenty, and what's wrong with a few GM events once in a while? There may be no magic for you, but there certainly is for many players on Pirates. I like how they're doing things. And this GM event is perfect for the players who haven't quite got the hang of Scoundrel Of The Seas.

It's the little things that count.

Could this mean New ships be on our horizon?
