Tavern Takeover.....

This may seem unbelievable to many, But I have been commissioned by Captain Walter to gather as many Founders for the feast as possible within the short period of time of Sunday (the 23rd of Nov) to Thursday, the starting day of the feast. I can tell you our Captain has a great heart for all Pirates and has special duties and expectations for Founders starting now at the Founders Feast and in the future. We as Founders need to gather together and take a leadership role within POTCO like never before.
With that said, I tell you Mates, a great leader is a good follower. As a Founder you are also a leader, and your are actually a servant of all, for such a position is not for self promotion but for POTCO edification.

The question was posed as to our duties at the feast, here is the precise answer,....

The GM's will not be attending the feast continually, our Captain and the rest our GM's need our help (Founders) in overseeing the Feast in their stead as we are co-hosts as stated. We are their honored subordinate servants if we want the task and I for one stand with my Captain in this honor.
During the feast, their may be some unusual competition events we will assist in overseeing. Many Pirates will be asking general question in regards to POTCO like quest leveling advice, weapons leveling advice, many various types of questions Pirates may not get the opportunity to ask of a high level Founder in normal day to day game playing.
I can’t tell you how many times a Pirate has come to me and asked of the Gold label and button next to my name, I proudly tell him (without sarcasm or selfish pride) of how I became a Founder, and further more how this honorable position dictates that I am here to help and advise him as best I can. (that degree is certainly at each Founders discretion based on the specific circumstances of the encounter) We must proudly stand and take our evolved position within Pirates of the Caribbean Online and not go into seclusion on the Test Server. (I love playing there as well, but open servers win most of my time)

With many Founders participating to this high calling we can assure POTCO and our GM’s are well represented, now and for future service. (and there will be)

Thanks Mates !

Welcome to POF Achilles.

It does seem somewhat unbelievable. Do you have some form of proof of your claim? It seems unusual that Disney would do this, all there prior actions indicate otherwise. I know some Founders (some in my Guild) that would be interested. But, I'd like to see more before I advocate on your behalf to help out.

[Poison elf]

I had a little proof. I asked a GM if Founders are Hosting this, then they have to serve all of us right?

He said something to the extent, If you could get them to do that you would be a mighty pirate. Ugh, well something like that.


So I have some aprons over here ==========>


All founders come get one, haha

[ukebec]

Hand over one of those aprons, mate.

Greetings Rackat of the Parrotheads,

Everything I’m telling you is true. I, like many of you are old players and Founders who simply desires to see POTCO flourish. I also have a burden to see Founders not fade into a wonderful aspect of POTCO that once was except for a few relics.
Really, I am not of any significance and I hope I am not portraying myself as such.
I am simply a messenger and gatherer as commissioned. I’m sure you’ll agree that the messenger isn’t significant but the message itself and the sender. I know the context of what is said makes perfect sense to all basically giving validity to the message. Even if I was acting on my own accord and didn’t mention being sent, wouldn’t the message make sense and inspire Founders to a higher calling and reassure them of their importance?
We can be great in numbers or diminish as lone wolves fighting for territory.
I hope we can muster together and stand strong. This accord will not take away any Founders personal identity nor origins within POTCO, but find university in that diversity. Let me declare,… Ubi concordia, ibi Victoria ! (Where there is the unity, there is the victory. -Latin)
Founders do have a honored place within POTCO and a unique purpose as well,.. the purpose is for the taking, a Founder will only find and receive if they seek it.
Please spread the word Mates,….BTW, Thank you for the statement of participation Poison Elf and Ukebec!!
Several of you I know, many more I do not,...I look forward to seeing and meeting many of you at the Founders Feast.

-Achilles

Great inputs from each of you guys...specially for some of us who didnt have the opportunity to meet one of the GM's, like me, due to some personal reasons.

[Rackat]

Jack Sparrow: That's just maddingly unhelpful. Why are these things never clear?

Well, I wish you luck mate. I can accept non-answers from the GM's because I don't have a choice, and they have a duty to be unclear to pique interest in the game. I can't advocate assistance with that less than clear answer.

Fair winds and following seas, Achilles.

I think its time - for Maximv's Multi Quote of the DAY-y-y-y~

Thanks right folks - that when we see someone posting HUGH Claims of everything and anything - and we go seeking the REAL truth...

Well nice goal - but almost too late now - no new content + too many bugs which affect players + fixing 'bugs' which were not hurting players but they were enjoying = almost everyones gone

Really, I am not of any significance and I hope I am not portraying myself as such.

Ok, have you actually read your own statement in your first post? Your very first line is 'I have been commissioned'...

Well why haven't I or Rabbit or Zep or Sarah or 100's if not 1000's of other great players that I know been commissioned who put huge efforts into this game to keep it entertaining and exciting, helping others and encouraging players? Why are you the 'chosen one?' Many excellent players have received squat...

I am simply a messenger and gatherer as commissioned. I’m sure you’ll agree that the messenger isn’t significant but the message itself and the sender.

Sorry - but with so many posters and their 'fly by night' posts - the Messenger is MORE inportant than the message.

I know the context of what is said makes perfect sense to all basically giving validity to the message. Even if I was acting on my own accord and didn’t mention being sent, wouldn’t the message make sense and inspire Founders to a higher calling and reassure them of their importance?

Sure except a) these speeches have been given before - including myself to keep spirits high and b) Founders (which I am one) are just paying customers now being asked to do the job of what Disney Staff get PAID for and we TRY to do already - and that is keep players intersted!

Maybe if Disney would stop for a minute - come here - maybe do a round table (or just read some of the post) with members who arent being 'uber-filtered-to-death' and lets work out what need to be done.

We can be great in numbers or diminish as lone wolves fighting for territory.

And once again - unless Disney has a) something great coming out and b) starts listening to us players - this is alread a done deal (And fix my Hex Shot, 5 seconds a point will do).

I hope we can muster together and stand strong. This accord will not take away any Founders personal identity nor origins within POTCO, but find university in that diversity. Let me declare,… Ubi concordia, ibi Victoria ! (Where there is the unity, there is the victory. -Latin)

And you just lost most of the kid audience with that one so I guess its the adults left to read that.

Founders do have a honored place within POTCO and a unique purpose as well,.. the purpose is for the taking, a Founder will only find and receive if they seek it.

Nice 'Disney Riddle'... you come up with that one yourself? If this was Steeley Jim posting then I would get it (another good member lost a while ago) How about post what were seeking instead of playing Batman and Riddler with us...

Please spread the word Mates,….BTW, Thank you for the statement of participation Poison Elf and Ukebec!!

First - a welcome Now onto matters...

Well, participation is one thing - server location is another....

Obviously with all the servers listed the few GM's we've seen cannot cover them all at once (if at all) - yet - there is no directions as to how this is handled? So if I show up on Gaalacare Server how am I goning to know what to do?

Too many riddles - no instructions - sounds too Disney. Sure - I'll show up for a short time, and sure I will do my best to do good things to encourage others and give hints (when my chat isnt filtered to death) - but Disney had better get a handle on it.

Ya know - I want Disney to send ME a PM... send me an e-mail... I'll make arrangements to put 30 people in a POTCO 'room' to discuss matters with the GM's... will I see it? nope... Too bad I leave for 3 weeks in a few days to actually take my family to Walt Disney World - my luck I'd actually get a response to that the day after I left...

No wonder players are dropping the game like flies, the fact we've lost several posters this week alone shows players are fed up with all the babble talk and no results.

( Oh, and fix my Hex Shot - 5 seconds a point - 10 seconds to start - and the chat box - fix it so F12 clears the text again - then we can call it a good thanksgiving )

[ninety3rd]

Here is my tuppence worth of input --

During the Tavern Takeover, I saw each of the GMs what was Taverning, and each at least twice. Including Capt Walter.
I specifically asked each one, "What are us Founders supposed to do at the Feast?"
Not one, including the good Captain, mentioned anything about "doing" anything. Only that we are asked to attend and "join in the celebration" with ALL pirates. That was it.
(The GMs all made a point to repeat the, "It's for ALL pirates" slogan over and over.)

Since Disney knows about these forums, if they wanted to convey a "message" then they could easily have one of their folks come on here and do it his/herself.
They also know when players' accounts started and could simply send an email to all "Founders" (even easier to do.)

That's my tuppence, keep the change.
