Blockade for the History Books

[Captain Del]

Hopefully most of you were aware of the large movement that was occurring last night - dozens upon dozens of pirates were called upon to help defend the Caribbean's rum supplies against a rising power of the British Navy!

The call was given to pirates of all guilds, across numerous fan sites, as a way to unite the Caribbean through a single, unstoppable force. And by this, what a force we created!

Last night, we far surpassed our goal of stretching from Tortuga to Devil's Anvil - for after we reached Devil's, we then formed a line from Devil's Anvil to Port Port Royal! In fact, the Blockade was so long, you couldn't even see end to end!

The only other blockade of relative length was formed by the Brethren Court back in Late June of 2009, which spanned directly between Tortuga and Port Royal - but, I think we've made our brethren very proud this fine evening!

Here are a few screenshots from the "Great Wall of the Caribbean:"

A chaotic start, and that description puts it kindly....



...But once we got rolling, there was no stopping us! (And yes, the Queen Anne's Revenge did attempt to crash the party - she even went up and down the entire blockade trying to break us!)





After the blockade had scared off all those Navy and EITC ships trying to smuggle our rum, we began to form a massive fleet to carry our invasion towards Kingshead!



And once we had finally landed at the stronghold, we gathered outside the gates where we prepared our offensive!



And although I did not get a chance to take a picture of us all storming the Keep (too busy cutting down all of those redcoat mongrels!) we did manage to hold a little victory party in the top jail of the fortress, where I was gladly told that casualties were at a minimum:



I want to thank all the pirates who held named to make this possible, especially the guild representatives that I ferried information through crew chat - they deserve a round of applause for putting up with my vicious Caps Spam!

So, let it be known! Summer in the Caribbean has arrived, and the pirates who dwell within it are ready to face whatever is thrown at them!

Keep a weathered eye on the horizon, mates! More events like these will be coming from me in the weeks and months to come - and all I can promise is, you will see bigger and better gatherings soon enough!

Now, I do expect you shall give me some rum of course...

Wow Del.... that was just great. I feel sad for the QAR though, she tried, as you said to break our blockade, but every time she passes a ship she got fury in her stern

A great event indeed! Thank ye Del and crew for putting in on.

Here be some shots I got as well of the event!

That was really fun! I came late but still had a good time!

Can't wait for the next event....

[CaptainSam]

I wish I was there.


(Give me some of your rum.)
