 First a welcome, and second a congrat to you and your guild members for your sucessful win  Edward of course had major concerns about the winners and their wicked abilities (and with just cause... I'm sure the entire list of winners is not innocent) but I am glad to see the top players on the list be ones of hard fair play Congrats to you both

Congratulations, Tommy Two Times! There is no doubt in my mind, that everyone that placed in the contest at all, lost a considerable amount of sleep, just to be in the running!
Welcome too, to POF. These forums are normally very friendly - I hope you can find a niche here that you can appreciate. I appreciate your cleverness and dedication, which earned you that number one victory. Most people here, consider "repair-while-sailing" to be a cheat, as well as many other tactics that are possible within the game. I know I do. So I do regret having used it some of the time, that weekend. Other cheats, such as triple-thunderbolt or 360 degree cannon or 15 second lockup, the driver can't even know about. The driver's crew mates might be doing what other people consider cheating. It is very hard to guess what the real situation is, for any particular boat. Should anyone feel bad, if they discover afterwards that they had improper help? No. It is what it is. The contest premise was on it being an uneven match in the first place. No one worried about cheating could have entered the contest without prior knowledge that many unfair glitches would be in use. It is an important "life" lesson, that any victor will always be accused of cheating. Whether they were or were not, whether it was possible or not, they will still be accused. It is an exercise in ethics, to deflect those accusations only when they are not valid. It is an even better lesson, that if you and your close group of friends are having fun playing a game, you can ignore the critics. If the critics are getting to you, take a five minute break, then come back with your focus being to have fun while ignoring them. Tommy, again, congratulations! I know I can hardly wait 6-8 weeks for that hat! |

Was happy to be able to get my guildmates, Irate and Tommy over here to let them say in their own words about the contest. I am glad we sunk those people that last night. They would call us cheaters, told us they reported us over and over, and harrassed us instead of just privateering.
Wanted also to congratulate the other gunners, James Seafury, Rose Darkcutter, Peggy Leg, Black Ice Beard, Molly O'Bones, and David Plunderbeard for making the list. Our aim was to help Tommy as much as we could since it was his dream to win the contest. |

I would just like to say TY again to all those who have offered congratulations. I have heard from mant a pirate that this forum was a great place to make friendships in game. I have been meaning to join for months now and due to many issues both in game and in person i have been unable to do so. Again I would like to appologize for being snappy in my first post. I do not take the cheating accusations against me as personal but it does in a way include those assisting me, and that is what makes me upset about it. Those that helped me worked just as hard and desrve credit and praise and I will always defend them as I know they would for me. Having said that, in my mind it is a done deal. I will move on to more positive comments in my posts as that is the type of person i am. I am very glad and excited to be a part of the forum now and look forward to meeting and talking to many of you in the future!

Congrats Tommy! I was speaking to Dead Aim a couple of days ago, he said he never cheated either. But our guild ship was sitting out there for the whole weekend as many others were, which is hard enough work changing shifts to keep it floating, and it definately should be rewarded. Also, the captain of the ship needs to sleep some time right? And when that happens, you can't use the svs repair glitch anyway.
