Haha mates, no worries. We didn't even do any offical events last night, so its no problem!

HOWEVER, seeing as how virtually the same pirates came as last time, I needed to reward them somehow. SO, last night, an assortment of contestants got the chance to participate in a few mini-games. We kiciked off the night which a foot race around Tortuga, so our pirates could warm their muscles up. In first place, came Erin Nicole (a friend of Sven's,) in second, Sven himself, and in third, Kat Crestshot!

After that, our mates participated in a little ship race, where the refs weren't particularly very good ones, shooting at the contestants and blocking their paths (>:-D) After the pirates finished their last lap, they need to come up and broadside my ship... but would you honestly think I would let them beat my little game? A simple ship race turned in to a race around the Caribbean, ending in a game of cat-and-mouse through Port Royal!

And of course, I wasn't going to let this go to waste - the winners got a few bonus points to jump-start their competition scores! Heres the final rake-ups for last night:

Sven O'smythe - 6 points
Kat Crestshot - 3 points
James Bladefury - 1 point
Dockwrecker the Privateer - 1 point

Now its up to all those who couldn't make it to really push themselves, aye?

Now, on to the schedule for all the events! The following is when and where the event will take place. *Only if there are numerous pirates that cannot attend, will the event be pushed back, at most, a few hours*

PvP Tournament - Friday, February 19th, 8:45 PM EST, Port Royal Dock, Navago

Excellent. Thanks for the full schedule Del! As of now I'm able to make all of my events. I'll warn you if things change.

Capt Seafury · #63 02-17-2010, 05:48 AM

Sorry I couldn't make it Del...

I've been going the last two weeks without a computer, so the only connection I have to PotCO is through my iPod's browser (using it now).

Yeah... I should have my computer up and running sometime this week so I think I can make it for the events.

Sorry I couldn't be there.

Captain Del · #64 02-19-2010, 07:28 PM

Remember pirates, the first event is tonight! If your a part of it (or you just want to observe) don't miss out!

Captain Del · #65 02-21-2010, 04:52 PM

All competitors, listen up!

Because only one contestant for the PvP Tournie showed up (SOS,) the entire event just turned into a huge PvP Fiasco. Still, SOS did show up, and came in first place. But because it was not the offical competition, Sven will recieve 3 points! Still a pretty good reward, huh?

Next off, REMEMBER, the SvS Tournie is TODAY! See the post a few above this one for the time and location.

And lastly, I'm going to be adding some more fun to all of this. Seeing as how open spots will be evident, if you are a contestant for another event, or not signed up at all, you are allowed to come and participate if we have open spots. While people outside of the contest will recieve no points (of course,) if you are a contestant and do come, and rank, you will recieve an amount of bonus points. ***First come, first serve!***

See ye today, mates!

I thought this was yesterday... No wonder no one showed up.

Dockwrecker The Privateer · #67 02-21-2010, 08:34 PM

The game is not working for me right now and I was busy so I couldn't make it.EDIT: Still having issues ,game won't launch.

Captain Del · #68 02-21-2010, 10:25 PM

EDIT: Pirates, I am rearranging the schedule a bit!!! Please pay attention!!

Because we will be finishing up SvS at 6 PM, today, Sunday the 21st, I've changed up the schedule just a bit:

Poker Tournament - Sunday, February 21st, 7:15 PM EST, Ratskellar, Padres Del Fuego, Cozros
Ship Races - Friday, February 26th, 7:15 PM EST, Tortuga Dock, Navago

Also, ALL PIRATES INTERESTED IN ATTENDING ROUND 2 OF SVS! Please remember, Round 2 will be today, Sunday 21st, at 6 PM EST. We will meet at the original location stated on the schedule! Thanks mates!

sorry i keep forgeting

Crestshot · #70 02-22-2010, 01:12 AM

Hey Del, when are we doing the Poker Tournament? Wouldn't that have been pushed back now due to the untimely invasion?

Captain Del · #71 02-22-2010, 12:07 PM

Aye, indeed. Looks like Jolly Roger really enjoys screwing me plans up >_<

Well, first off, I'd like to thank the someodd 25 pirates that showed up to help make our SvS Tournament a blast! All the pirates fought real hard, both in Rounds 1 and 2, yet of course, there could be only 1 true victor... and here be last nights outcome: (Please keep in mind, there was NO 3rd place for this event.)

1st Place - Sven O'Smythe - 10 Points (19 Points Total)
2nd Place - Jag Wire Jones - 7 Points (7 Points Total)
James Bladefury, Kat Krestshot, Dockwrecker the Privateer, and Lord Browns - 2 Points for participation

And next, off course, thanks to how things worked out, the schedule must be altered yet again. So, without further adue:

Poker Tournament - Friday, February 26th, 7:00 PM EST, Ratskellar, Padres Del Fuego, Cozros
Ship Races - Friday, February 26th, 8:15 PM EST, Tortuga Dock, Navago
Capture the Flag - Sunday, February 28th, 1:15 PM EST, Kingshead Dock, Navago
Hide N' Seek - Sunday, February 28th, 5:15 PM EST, LOCATION TBA
Closing Ceremonies - Sunday, February 28th, 7:00 PM EST, Royal Anchor, Port Royal, Navermo

Its gonna be a tight squeeze, but I think we can oull it off, lest something goes wrong... which is why I strongely encourage you gather any friends that might be interested in playing BEFORE we set to start, so we can get everything done in a timely fashion. Thanks mates!

Kat Five Knives · #72 02-22-2010, 12:34 PM

Thanks Del for doing this... it was great fun and I know it was a lot of work on your part.
See ya in 4 years??? LOL

Dockwrecker The Privateer · #73 02-22-2010, 02:00 PM

The SvS was fun,I did leave for a time but I put a young commander in my stead for the rest of the time.My apologies to Jag Wire Jones for me impulsive outbusrst,I was just being a madman of a French stratigiser,overcomplicating it really.I hope we could have the next games in 2012 in the summer perhaps,but this one is still running strong.(Next time ye plan on one Del PM me and we can form if ye want an Olympic Board so we can run even more things.)And is it me or are the closing cerimonies the same place where the book got burned...

Capt Seafury · #74 02-25-2010, 05:43 AM

Well I'm back! (a little late)

Sorry Del, but I can't attend the ship races (busy Friday and Saturday). Capture the Flag, though, I can do.

Sorry I didn't come when I was supposed to...

Captain Del · #75 02-26-2010, 11:50 PM
