Two questions:

1)How?
2)Shut up shut up shut up.

I had to sell my crappy beard just to pay my men's wages.

What kind of a world is that, I ask you?

I am the twelfth baddest motherfucker on the high seas.

But I only have 351 gold pieces left.

This game is totally easy.

Has anyone deciphered a map yet??? I got one but I'll be damned if my inept group of wannabies can do anythin.

Just thought I'd drop into this thread to let everyone know I'm getting completely hammered by just about every Pirate's cousin that accosts me at the moment.

Needless to say, my boys are in training.
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
01:37 / 19.08.03
I haven't lost a single fight, and I've decyphered 2 maps. Mo' money!

I think Mac users are at a disadvantage. THis all depends on your crew's skill, which is in the roll-overs on those little icons, and apparently Mac users don't get them, so you can't select your crew well.

I'm upset that I devoted 4 whole days to training. I want to fight, damnit!

Losing yet another fight. I need to learn to check what my skill levels actually ARE before choosing my fighting technique.
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
00:52 / 20.08.03
Yes--and your opponent's.

Unfortunately, you seem to end up specializing. I'm such a badass with Long Distance that I think I'm going to dump my Dread Pirate for one of the bargain basement ones. I never use the bitch.

I've hired my all-female crew, bought my oaken twonkery and gold parrot, and set sail upon the high seas in search of adventure. Why isn't my damn name on the damn board? (neither the Barbeleague or the proper league).

And btw, I'm shocked to see that there's no Seduction on the list of skills, which I would think would be necessary for both male and female pirates - no point in fighting the other crew if you can just screw them into submission, no?

Good to see there's an SS Puppy Stomper and the Filthy Whore on the ocean though. Makes my ship, the Liev Schreiber, look very under-named. It was called the Dastard, but this is my nod to the C-list film actors theme.
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
13:22 / 20.08.03
Well done, CAptain Whisky.

You need Iconoplast/Gaston to get into the Barbelith league, and I haven't seen him around much, but it doesn't seem to do anything anyway--except as a shortcut to look up your present rank (mine: 13th. Q=badDASS)
 
 
Whisky Priestess
13:35 / 20.08.03
Yeah, but asked to join the league yesterday and was accepted today and I'm still not anywhere. Ah well, I suppose I'll just have to do some avasting.
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
17:12 / 20.08.03
You'll probably show up tomorrow. I think this is being run on a database cached in someone's cell phone or somehting.

For The Wullf hath joined the fray!

Yar-har! Avast and so forth.

How can you not love a website that greets you with: Hey Warewullf me heartie!

I trained for 4 days and then I set off to sail for 4 days. so when does the fun (aka fighting) begin?
 
 
Whisky Priestess
14:33 / 21.08.03
I set sail for 2 days yesterday and I'm scheduled to fight someone called MixX tomorrow. So I expect you'll come across a barney tomorrow and start mixing it up the day after.
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
01:10 / 22.08.03
Here's the advice I sent someone else:

Pick all your crew for less than 100 gold--they'll start demanding raises when you win fights. I picked them if they had both skills above %50 and were 90 gold or less. Get rid of them--or at least the weakest ones--if they start costing more than a total of 700/day altogether.

Don't bother with training--you gain skill in fights.

Do everything for 4 days.

Check your crew's skills against your opponent's before picking your fighting style.

Choose what you buy carefully, because it affects your score...

Ouch. I just got my but whipped.
 
 
8===>Q: alyn

OR my butt. Whatever.

23:32 / 25.08.03
how do the items affect you though?? eee

I finally decided I'd like to waste time in this way for a while, so I've got a ship, the Staberinde, and have applied to join the Barbe-League. I have a male figurehead with comedy balls, because I felt like it, and a female captain. I think I will be a bit of a shit pirate though.

13:10 / 28.08.03
Taking The Q's advice, as posted above, I didn't bother with training. Apparently I am currently winning my fight with someone called St00. Which is a bit weird, seeing as I have 0% skill in the three combat styles and my pirates are fairly significantly crapper than hirs, skill percentage-wise.

Yeah - I just won a fight against cheeseypoofs, the #1 ranked player. In fact, losing to me seems to have been what catapulted him into the #1 spot.
 
 
that
15:09 / 28.08.03
Pirate Wars could be good, if it made more sense. Skill levels shouldn't be randomly allocated - I think you should get what you pay for, as far as your crew's skills go. And the items should be explicitly meaningful, in one way or another. And...and...and...

Right... I'm in a fight with someone called Bit, sailing the good ship 'Zoids'. Ze appears to be significantly harder than me. Arrrrrrrse...

"Yeah - I just won a fight against cheeseypoofs, the #1 ranked player. In fact, losing to me seems to have been what catapulted him into the #1 spot. "

Such seems to be the logic of Pirate Wars ... the only thing that boosted my ranking more than loosing a fight catastrophically was letting my crew moonlight modelling Khaki pirate caps...

Lost fight with St00. Am bored now. Was bored after the first day, actually.

Is this game broke or is it just me and my inept pooter???

It's moved to www.piratewars.co.uk

But... you're a pirate... I don't understand...
