This month – being Mardi Gras – the Ringer’s enabled the holiday masks, so I decided to celebrate by choosing one for Lillythanne to wear for a while.  Since the masks don’t come in any LE colors (unless you waste a chroma on them), I chose a standard colored outfit for her to wear with … Continue reading »

Every month (or most months anyway) the ringers come out with a new sloop for us to blow our hard earned POE on.  And the truth is, it’s a lot of POE when you get right down to – each ship works out to usually be 90K plus 40 dubs (which these days works out … Continue reading »

… That means Brigand King – not Burger King (although Burger King is pretty good too, now that they’ve changed the fries again). First, it was getting all 8 of the BK banners for the wall (Madame Yu’s banner is in Shigeko’s room). Then, it was getting all 8 of the BK eggs. Now, it’s … Continue reading »

OK, there’s not really a pirate of the year – but if there was, this would be my vote.  But first, the explanation. Lately I’ve been going out BK hunting with Everclearboy.  He’s always good for a decent amount of POE, with a minimum amount of puzzling – and I still have trinkets and trophies … Continue reading »

Take a look at this picture – notice anything strange about it? How about now? If you were wondering about the missing scarf on the yeti doll, or the strange colors on the toy cannon, you’d be correct.  I first placed the cannon at our crew hall, and it turned wine colored – it has … Continue reading »

One thing about this game that some people are obsessed with (while others never think about) is fame.  The game itself has it’s own system for recognizing ‘reputation’ – but it’s based on things that the game can measure.  The game really can’t determine what we humans would call reputation, because it’s a very subjective … Continue reading »

Vacation is over, the kids are back in school, and I’m back on Puzzle Pirates on my home connection.  I ended up with a plethora of toy parts – and if the value for them ever goes up at the trading post, I’ll make some more toys.  I say that, because despite having made a … Continue reading »

I’ve been on vacation for the past few days (most of you know where, so I won’t bore you with the details).  Needless to say, my playing has been limited while I’m relying on my 3G mifi unit.  I can log in the game with it, and do stuff – the bandwidth requirement for the … Continue reading »

… and I’m almost all out of POE again.  Why?  You did read the recent wardrobe post, right?  Anyway, I’ve been out a lot with Everclearboy doing BK hunts.  A fair amount of POE, new trophies, more BK trinkets, and most importantly – toy parts.  Anyway, while I’m busy collecting toy parts, I hear the … Continue reading »

So I’m on a cit run with Amurica, and unfortunately Hardrockers shows up in the same map, to do the same thing.  Since 2 ships can’t really cit run on the same map, someone either has to leave, or sink.  Hardrockers decided to sink us.  Not exactly a happy making experience for the jobbers, but … Continue reading »
