Awww...

I bet he'll stick me with lots of pins! :headache:

Actually I think we are going to leave it in Jail!!!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Ok, talk about small world in the land of pirates ~ yesterday myself, Matty and my daughter are standing around on Devil's Anvil just chatting and all of the sudden a pirate calls out "Cruise?" I thought at first they were going to ask me a question and again I hear "Cruise!" And then to my surprise, they are saying "Hey its me, Rush!". WOOT

Given so many Oceans to be on, the odds of that happening were slim to none, he just happened to be on the same island on the same server at the exact same time.

Anyway, he has joined the ranks but is currently known as Pirate Level 2.

VMKers are coming out in force.

Wow! That's amazing! I didn't think it was possible to just casually run into another player like that with POTCO being so HUGE!

What in the world was he doing over on Devil's Anvil Island at Level 2? :rotfl2:

Did you direct him to this thread? We'll have to see if he has any suggestions about a Guild name. Because I'm telling ya... if nobody comes up with anything better... we're going with the Roos.... I seriously want to see Rush with that Guild title! :banana:

How about "Pink Ladies" in honor of the 30th anniversary of Grease?

KrazyPete

05-04-2008, 10:19 PM

So I was talking to Cruise last night and she's leaning towards "Roo Rockers." And I kind of would like to have a dictionary dance in the name as an "inside" for othe VMKers we may see. So I would like to use "Under.roo." And Pink, as far as "Roos" go, she seems to prefer the "I'm too Lava" variation.

So I think we're looking at "Too Lava for Our Under.roos" as a good combination of everything. Well everyone except Matty who wants his name in everything but I can't have "Bloodthirsty" so I guess he will have to deal too. ;)

Also, no one seems to want to be the guildmaster for our lava little band of pirates. So I guess I will set it up. If there are any other suggestions please speak up. I leave to go to Disney on Tuesday and I would like to get it all set up by tomorrow night.

Iris

Too Lava for our Under.Roos sounds great too me. Not sure it will get approved but I say go for it.

You will do an awesome job as Guild Master ~ you know you will:thumbsup2

I officially put in my application to be an officerpirate:

Last night I had my first experience doing a "Boss Battle!" Let me just say it is the most intense thing in this game. The group I was in tried it several times. The first time we got as far as the third gate before sinking. The second time we didn't even make it to the first gate ~ but there was some kind of bug that prevented half of our crew mates from accessing the cannons. The third time we made it to the second gate. JamminJoey stayed for another few rounds and said they actually made it past all of the gates before sinking.

All I can say is that it is a lot of quick fighting first, followed by a crazy round of sinking ships ~ then an all out attack of the gates. Don't even know what happens after that since we didn't get much further.

I can't wait to try that again.

threeboysmom

05-05-2008, 07:30 AM

Woot!

Too Lava for Our Under.Roos it is! :dance3:

I like it because...

1) It's generic - fits both the males and females of our guild ;)
2) It's comical - hopefully we'll get some laughs from other players as we run around with that under our names
3) It just screams VMK :teeth:

So Petez is our Guild Master! Yay! Can't wait for our website to be up and running!

I'd like to volunteer to be Officer of Stategic Event Planning. :)

I have a few ideas for events already up my sleeve that I think you'll all enjoy - some to help us in our quests, some just for pure fun, and some as competitions between us... perhaps a little guy vs. gal type thing... because we all know girls rule and boys drool ;)

If you have any ideas, please let Petez or I know.

So far, we have...

KrazyPete, GuildMaster
Cruiselinefan
Matty_D
PinkGirlygirl
JamminJoey
DaRushDude ?
Caribbean_Gal ?
JediYoda ?
TigressJewel ?

Those with question marks are ones that have been spoken to, but haven't heard back from...

Would ideally like to have 12-15 members. Anymore than that would get too confusing and too hard to organize (at least for me).

Happy jailing! pirate:

If it doesn't get approved for whatever reason, we can shorten it to "Too Lava for Our Roos"

Ok, as an officer I guess I would need a function. Maybe something to do with the quests in the game - Quest Officer? idk

I should be on tonight, so post here when you're signed in and I'll come get you on my friends list.

Did you make it through the tutorials?

05-06-2008, 07:23 AM

Our new website is up and running! Thanks Petez! It's still a work in progress so if you have any suggestions for it, please let him know! (He mistakenly didn't lock down the administrative tools so I've gone in and recolored the site so now it's pink... heh...)

Our first event is planned for this month on Friday, May 23, in honor of our beloved VMK Capture the Flag game. Details are up on the site. I think we'll have a blast! Hope to see you! The more the merrier!

Some of them, I'm still not sure how to do everything. I need to figure out which buttons do what. and I still don't know what all the icons do. I'm on level three right now. But I'm not sure why it's so laggy, it's difficult to control where I go.

Jedi,

I have had a lot of lag lately since the most recent updates. I am hoping it goes away eventually. The updates are fairly new and several new features were added so I think the lag might come from a lot of that.

Let me know when you might be on and I will also try to help. I am out most of the morning but might be on around 2:30 CST if you are around.

Hey I still need that stinking Marauder as well. I sank two this morning and still did not get past the blasted task.

Meetings today but will be on around 2:30 CST.

By the way Pink, I did notice that the website suddenly took a rather "pink" appearance to it, LOL. Pink, can we send Jedi the link to it and can you set him up with a username and password?

I must say this first event works well in honor of both flag and battle. We are going after flag ships yet we need to battle them first to board. Cruise.i is one happy camper. I will definitely have ramming speed by then and hope to have the lightning cannons by then as well too.

Wow! Level 3 already! :dance3:

Don't worry about all the icons/buttons right now. The more you play, the easier it becomes. I was TOTALLY overwhelmed when I first started because I have never been a "gamer," but I think I have a pretty good handle on the game right now... although still learning new things just about every day :thumbsup2

And the lag... sigh... yes, it's BAD right now. I sometimes run right out of my clothes and hair! :scared1:

Where do we find said website?

I'll send you a pm with address (which will change once decide on a domain name...)

Hehe :laughing:

I'll send Jedi the link... but need to look into how to set him up with a username and password. I know how to change colors :thumbsup2 but this might be over my head, but I'll try. Hopefully, I won't mess up the website TOO much! :lmao: Poor Petez I think was ready to kill me yesterday. "Ooops... I just made something disappear... can you fix it for me?" Think he spent more time "refixing" the website from my "mistakes" then he did setting it up... :rotfl2:

Unfortunately I probably will not be able to play pirates at work. :( Probably only at night when I get home.

Boo!

If you are still looking for Guild members you can add me if you want, as long as you don't mind someone that stinks at any pirate game except the one in Disney Quest at DTD. My POTC name is PirateGoofer (Goofer was already taken :mad: )

I haven't played since Beta and don't remember what level I am. I will check when I get home, all game sites are blocked at work.

threeboysmom

05-06-2008, 01:43 PM

Goofer, I'm sure we'd all love to have you join our guild! Just need to run it by Mr. Guildmaster himself, but I don't think they'll be a problem.

I signed on as Petez and saw our name didn't get approved... so I shortened it to "Too Lava for Our Roos" but... apparently the name can only be so many letters so it got cut off :( Too Lava for Our R???? What the heck????

Think we're going to have to cancel this guild and try again. Sorry! We need a short name apparently. :rolleyes:

Oh.... I just tried to go visit Cruise so we could sink our Maurader and got this message...

I am going on now. My meeting is finally finished.

05-06-2008, 02:58 PM

Grrrrr!! How many stinking Cudas do I have to sink or board (yikes! that doesn't go over well...:scared: ) before I can pass this one task?! (thanks Cruise and Matty for your help and your patience last night.)

I feel bad... I'm breaking everybody's boat in the process :rolleyes:

Sigh... I am bound and determined to PASS this quest today if it kills me (which it surely will... oh jail here I come...) But I don't mind going to jail as long as I take that stupid Barracuda with me.

I'll be signing in and just leaving myself AFK for anybody that's brave enough to go on a Cuda hunt with me (heh). Send me a friend's request - I'll keep checking my screen as I get things done around the house.

I just realized something - I don't have to wait until 10 EST to sign into Pirates! Woot! :dance3:

ETA: OK, I'm currently standing on the dock of Tortuga (Baraba Ocean)... well, not really.... currently I'm in jail... but I'm heading there RIGHT NOW!

ETA: Scratch that location... I'm back in jail.... too hard for me to just stand in one spot in this game :teeth:

threeboysmom

05-07-2008, 07:35 AM

Snapped a screen shot of Cruise floating around in the air. Must have been a bug, but it was funny seeing her "swim" around through the air...

And YAY, Jedi has made it on and is now an official member of our Too Lava for Roos guild!

Hey, I have a question...

One of my quest tasks says I need to recover a lump of mud from a "big alligator." All I've seen so far in game are swamp alligators. Is there a special place to find these?

Um.... that word "big" has me a little concerned here :teeth:

Oh STINK! That's the last time I sit here and post on DIS while sailing! Someone must have sunk me while I was typing here... I'm back in jail!

CHEAP!!!

Iris

05-11-2008, 04:42 PM

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: Yes, they are so cheap aren't they.

Pinki, remember where we got the fly traps? There are some big alligators there but you have to wait for them to spawn. They are usually level 9 to level 13 gators.

Just a friendly reminder that it's almost time for our very first POTCO event to be held this Friday night.

I would like to extend the invitation to any DIS'er that would like to join us. Anyone is welcome to climb aboard and rock the high seas with us! The more the merrier! :woohoo:

Here's what I had posted on our website...

Friday Flag Frenzy!

A new and improved version of our beloved Capture the Flag game (sniff sniff)...

Join your LAVA guild members this Friday night for a swashbuckling & booty plundering party unlike anything on VMK. Let's see how many Flagships we can sink and then board in one frenzy of a night!!

Hours of event will be held from 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm EST

I will certainly be quoting this on my Guild Forum, and adding it to our site :)

I hope both our guilds can take part in this, as you suggested, can't wait! :goodvibes

Dude

ETA: Perhaps we should meet on the dock, so the members from The Elite Dis can get aboard the ship, by becoming friends with you.

Yeah, we'll probably meet at the Tortuga dock at 8 EST. I'll post what server I'm using when I'm logged in that night.

Can't wait!

Those flagships better not be hiding from us :teeth:

I noticed that on the "Grape Shot" it says something about being used in PVP (Player vs. Player) mode. Do you think that means ship battle between players is something that is already in the works. Grape shot is cannon ammo. You can't use it in the other PVP modes can you?

KrazyPete

05-14-2008, 12:03 PM

OK, team.... slap me if you want ;) ... but I am going to propose a new name change for our Guild.

Yeah, I'm female... can you tell? ;) Just can't make up my stinking mind!

:dance3:

Thinking of changing it to Rock.in Our Roos or Rocking Our Roos...

What do you think?

Anyone??

No kicks, hits, slaps, or boots! Just your comments please!

If I don't hear anything... heh... you know I'm going to sign in and change it anyways, LOL! :rotfl2:

"Rock.in" wouldn't be a real dictionary dance since you can say "Rocking" in VMK anyway. Clever idea, but I would vote for the simple "Rocking our Roos." :thumbsup2

I liked the old name better before it got chopped up by PotCO's guild name character limit anyway.

Woot! Oh yeah... we can say "rocking" :rolleyes:

I say we go for it! Cruise is in DC (you snooze, you lose) and Matty is broken :sad1:

Let's just do it! :rotfl:

I noticed that on the "Grape Shot" it says something about being used in PVP (Player vs. Player) mode. Do you think that means ship battle between players is something that is already in the works. Grape shot is cannon ammo. You can't use it in the other PVP modes can you?

The PVP ship battle is in the works.... it was mentioned in a recent newsletter, but didn't say when it would be released. Should be fun ;)

I spent yesterday learning to play "Tortuga Hold'em." Cruise told me it was a little different than regular poker and that's true. It's pretty easy to pick up on though. Here's a link to the rules:

DisneyOnlineWorlds.com (http://disneyonlineworlds.com/index.php/Parlor_Games)

I played on Tortuga, Port Royal and Padre. In Tortuga, I got sent to jail and lost all my winnings for cheating. The big money is in Padre. I lost half the gold I had there. So I ended up in Port Royal and was doing pretty well. If you guys need a break from killing and sinking stuffs, come visit me. :thumbsup2

If you go to our website you will see that it's not there! The new domain name is now active so use that instead. PM me if you don't know the new address. Since the site isn't skinned and there aren't permissions set up to control access to certain areas I'd rather not post it publically... yet.

Coming soon! :thumbsup2

Quick reminder from sunny WDW (woot!!) that our first pirate event, Friday Flag Frenzy, is THIS Friday evening (May 23) - And yes, I have the date right this time ;)

Anyone is welcome to join us. We will meet at the Tortuga dock at 8 pm EST. I will post what ocean server when I'm logged in that evening.

Hope to see you there! Please join us no matter if you can play one hour, two hours, or all three hours!

We made it easy to find us on Pirates:

Pink is: Pink GirlyGirl (close enough to VMK name)
I am: Cruiselinefan (same VMK Name)
Petez is: Bloodthirsty Shark (ok, this one not so easy but he was originally KrazyPete)
Matty_D is: Matty(close enough)
JEDIYODA is: Pirate Jedi Master (close enough)
DaRushDude is: Alex Rushdude (close enough)

Once Pink is on the server, she will let us all know what ocean.

Quick question how do you change oceans or does that make a difference? How does that work?

I'm not sure if I'll be there, I may have a baseball game to attend. But I'll play it by ear :)

Open your treasure chest and go to the map. You will see the ocean listed at the top. Click the little jewel looking shape under the ocean and you will get a drop down list of all the oceans.

You can pick an ocean before you are in the game too. It's in the lower left part of the screen where you choose the account that you want to play with (standing on the dock).

Hope to see you tonight! :thumbsup2

My next question is this. For our avatars to meet up do we have to be in the same ocean? Is that how it works. Is it mirror oceans, different names but same contents.

Yes, you do have to be in the same ocean for the avatars to be able to play together. All the oceans are physically the same they just have different players in them. However, you can always see your friends and guild mates in your friend list no matter what ocean they are on. It will probably be easier for you to find one of us there and just click "go to."

Ah ok, so it's just like VMK with the different copies of the same room, such as main street north west and main street south east

Ah ok, so it's just like VMK with the different copies of the same room, such as main street north west and main street south east

Yes, sort of... But, instead of each room or location having different instances, the entire game exists in different instances. So if you and I are in the same ocean and we both teleport to Tortuga, we will always land in the same Tortuga.

Flag Frenzy is tonight and I just have to point out how much less girly CTF is on PotCO than it was on VMK. Here are a few reasons why:

1) You are ALWAYS on the pirate side!

2) The only time someone tells you NOT to sink a ship on PotCO is when they know that ship will blast you out of the water if you antagonize it.

3) Two words, Grappling hooks!

4) It's not really about getting the flag as it is killing everyone on the other ship and taking all their stuffs.

I'll add another as soon as I get "ramming speed." Then, I won't be sharking your rows. I'll be sharking your frigate! :woohoo:

...All the oceans are physically the same they just have different players in them...
Just a minor clarification:

Even though the different oceans are very similar, the enemies (land and water) on them can be very different in type and location. So if you want lots of enemies and other players to help you go to a "Ideal" ocean. If you want fewer enemies and to make sure others do not kill (mostly) sink them before you get to them go to a "Quiet" ocean. This also is helpful if you can not find a needed flagship (I don't think they are needed in any of the quests at the present, but might be soon) as they are more abundant on the "Ideal" oceans.

BobRichmond

05-23-2008, 01:44 PM

Yes, sort of... But, instead of each room or location having different instances, the entire game exists in different instances. So if you and I are in the same ocean and we both teleport to Tortuga, we will always land in the same Tortuga.
However sometimes you will be end up at different locations on the island teleported to, so pick a meeting place there. If you want to end up in the same location use "GoTo" a friend/crewmember/guildmember.

BobRichmond

05-23-2008, 02:13 PM

...2) The only time someone tells you NOT to sink a ship on PotCO is when they know that ship will blast you out of the water if you antagonize it...
Once you learn which ships shoot fire (higher levels) or lightning (all skellies), you will quickly learn not to go broadside to them. If you do end up broadside hope you are far enough away to reverse your ships motion and avoid their shots at you or get ready to use full sail or ramming speed to get out of there. Also if you want to board a flag do you use fire as it will sink and not let you board. Flags sink at others times too, but there is no telling when that bug will appear.
4) It's not really about getting the flag as it is killing everyone on the other ship and taking all their stuffs....
You can lessen the number of enemies on board by really pounding the ship with broadsides and cannons after it is disabled. It is also important to know that the level of enemies on board a ship of the same type can be vastly different. I have boarded a ManO'War to find 4 lvl 10-12 sargeants and other times boarded the same type of ship in a location close by to find 5 lvl 20-23 officers. If you are boarding higher level flags I would suggest getting your doll out fast and getting ready to run circles just in case. If there are enough of you a designated healer can help also, but you have to protect them.

Oh and one other thing: if your crewmates board a ship and a bug leaves you behind and unable to move, use the "F1" key to get moving again and help out the others by using the cannon to shoot the enemies on the other ship or take the wheel and use broadsides.
I'll add another as soon as I get "ramming speed."...
Something I mentioned above is worth mentioning again. Even though I have found ramming speed of limited use as an attack, it is a great way to get away fast. However just make sure you are heading to open water as there is no turning (unlike full sail).

BobRichmond

05-23-2008, 02:19 PM

...Lightning..........need I say more??...
A great shot on far off ships to get them coming directly at you. If you have enough of them (a large barrel lets you hold 175) you can get all the sails down (thus increasing the points from sinking the ship) and the ship just sitting there by the time the ship gets in range of the regular cannon projectiles.

The most fun cannon shot is Fury where you sink other ships by shooting hidden Mickeys at them.

Don't forget our Friday Flag Frenzy tonight - just one more hour!! I'll be logging in closer to 8 EST and will post what ocean server I am on. You can find me standing on the dock on Tortuga island.

For those of you that can't make it right at 8 pm, periodically, I will head back to that dock (every time we sink :laughing:, get repairs, or drop off cargo) to pick up any new people that want to join us. You can also post here to signal to me - I'll try to remember to hit refresh on this thread every now and then! :thumbsup2

Tigressjewel is supposed to be joining us tonight! Woot!

Oh, and one other thing - I posted 2 new events for our guild to be held in June. When you get a moment, check it out! :woohoo:

Wow! Sounds like some players in the game are more concerned with trying to kill other players with weapons, than be helpful in any way.

And yes, you did have me laughing again with the guy trying various weapons on you with no end result. I can only imagine what you were thinking ~ like seriously, all I want is to change my clothes!

Oh and sorry Pink, i could not see the flag over the ship before I shot fire at it. What can I say, I don't know my own power..............

But admit it all, you love going after those big ships.

The best run was definitely when we had 11 on board! I love getting all that booty.

So great to meet more Dissers last night.

Take me sailing again so I can level up my cannon and we'll call it even. :thumbsup2

I was hoping to blast my way to Firebrand last night but that didn't happen. I'm still 100 points short of level 7 and it's my lowest skill.

I wish I could say going after the Dreadnought was fun but, all I saw of it was the sinking sail and my boots flying up in jail! :lmao:

I am not sure how it works, but I do know that in the player's guide they when they did some upgrades, that was one of the things they added and stated.

I also know that if the person steering has Treasure Sense, more loot will be had with each ship sunk.

This morning a person that was steering had it and also loaded with full skill points and we were getting 3-4 royal chests for each ship sunk.

The more people in your crew that you can see on your compass (when you hit the + all the way), the more rep you get. I think the max you can get is a 50% bonus.

After we took down the people on the flagships, I tried to run to the wheel and take it before it sank. I have maxed treasure sense so I was trying to make it kick in LOL I think it worked that one time when we got 4 royals for that cuda. I didn't make it most of the time though; there was so much LAG! I never get lag LOL

Had a lot of fun while I was there. Good seeing and sailing with some of you again.

Had to run off and try to get a member of our Savvy Pirates guild past the Black Pearl Boss Battle. Unfortunately even after 4 attempts we could not even get past the last bridge. This was with 2 lvl 40s, a lvl 39, a lvl 37, 2 lvl 35s, and a level 29. Next time we will have to add a few more gunners.

I need to get you in touch with my daughter, she has been in two successful boss battles with a relatively small crew of 5. She thought the difference was the person sailing-they really ran the show and had a well organized plan.

And I can pick out Taz in the pic just standing there watching us jig.... "uh.. how do I dance?" :rotfl2:

Still need to find my pics!!

So much fun last night! Thanks again! :rotfl2:

Which reminds me.... how does that crew bonus work? Someone mentioned the larger the crew, the more gold you get??? :confused3

Yup, I got some huge tatoo on my stomach today, along with like ten earings. Now I have about 30 gold. I also sent a "whisper" to shadow asking how I dont wear a shirt, (i see some people do that) but she doesnt know. Does anyone?

Anyway, if anyone wants to go out getting gold I need to. I was basically on all day and I probably will be in the future. Maybe on a different account though. So just PM me if you want to meet up somewhere pirate:

Hi all, I had a great time too last night. I hope to join you again sometime.

As I told Cruise already, my DH - Fury, beat the Boss Battle SOLO last night.

Now Cruise don't be mad a me but......

Fury and I got me through the Boss Battle this morning. Yes just the two of us - he's a level 40, and well now I'm a level 40 too (started the battle at 39).

We were discussing it after we were finished, and Fury suggested that we contact Disney and say it was too easy (JK lol - and NO it wasn't easy, I really am kidding!).

I had fun sinking a few ships with you guys last night. Quick question - where can I find the pitch and wire for my voodoo doll? I sailed to Padres del Fuego - went to what thought was the fort and everything that I search is empty...

Pitch and wire can be found in crates/barrels inside Fort Charles which is located on a hill on Port Royal.

Hey, I was just at Padres... sailing back now. We must have just missed each other!

If you want help at the Fort, tell me what ocean server you're on and where you are located. I'll fend off the enemies so you can have your hands free to search, if you'd like.

I need to get you in touch with my daughter, she has been in two successful boss battles with a relatively small crew of 5. She thought the difference was the person sailing-they really ran the show and had a well organized plan.
I would love to talk to her, since I got picked to sail. :confused3 We did fine on the deck battle, 4 light frigates, and first bridge. The next 2 bridges really took their toll on us. Would like to know how they handled the bridges after the first one.

BobRichmond

05-24-2008, 11:54 PM

...asking how I dont wear a shirt, (i see some people do that) but she doesnt know. Does anyone?...
You go to one of the tailors that sell clothes. Hit shift to get to the store interface. Click the tab on the left for shirts. Then click the tab on the top for My Items (I think). You will see all the shirts in your inventory (your initial shirt when you created your character, any shirts you have bought, and any shirts enemies have dropped when you defeated them). Click Take Off (or something like that) on the shirt you are wearing. Of course this only works for male characters (shucks).

BobRichmond

Tortuga has all 3 types of alligators (swamp, big, and huge), all 3 types of crabs (sand, rock, and giant), both bats (cave and vampire), giant scorpions, and flytraps. It also has all Navy up to veteran, EITC up to grunt, and undead up to Witchdoctor (maybe Brigands).

Port Royal has some of those along with dire wasp, Navy officers, EITC hired guns & mercenaries, and undead Brigands.

Rumrunner's Island has dread scorpions.

Isla Perdida has terror wasps and maybe a queen wasp.

Padres Del Fuego has Stumps and undead Grenadeers (sp?), Gypsies, and Raiders.

Tormenta has many of Jolly Rogers type undead that are too nasty to mention.

I tried sending one to Pink but right away something popped up saying no thanks or whatever. Then after asking Pink if she said no, she said that she never recieved it. And obviously Pink would not lie... :-D

Hmmm... I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

But just to clear up any suspicion that you have now cast on me, in the hour we spent sailing together last night, I never once received a friend's request from "Duh Bomb".

There are some actions (I have not determined actually what yet, but it has happened to me and it could be mouse movement or keyboard usage) that will delete the friends request from the screen without clicking on either choice in it.

Well, stink on it. I've been holding onto a poker task for weeks now because I don't know how to play. So I've been working on my other quest instead, and wouldn't you know, it just gave me a poker task! Grrr... so now my only two tasks to work on are both poker. :( Why oh why can't I kill stuffz???

Can someone give me a brief lowdown on how to play this game (and win)? I'm really attached to my gold... :teeth:

To win a hand of poker, you need to have the best hand at the table.
Here is the different poker hands in order of best to worst.

Royal Flush - Ace,King,Queen,Jack,Ten all of the same suit.

Straight Flush - Five cards of the same suit that also make a five card straight. Example 4,5,6,7,8 each being hearts.

Four of a kind - Four cards of the same rank. Example QQQQ2 .

Full House - Three cards of the same rank and a pair of another rank. Example K,K,K,J,J

Flush - Any five cards of the same suit. Example 3,6,10,A,K of the same suit.

Straight - Five cards that make a straight. Example 5,6,7,8,9 The best possible straight is A,K,Q,J,10.

Three of a kind - Three cards of the same rank. Example A,A,A,4,6

Two Pair - Two pairs. Example A,A,J,J,2

One Pair - One pair. Example 10,10,4,6,9

If you think you might have a pretty decent hand at the deal (such as a pair, face cards, aces or cards of the same suit) stay in the game by either calling or raising (raise if you have a good hand, call if your hand is so-so). If you think you have a bad hand (such as a lot of low level cards and no pairs) and don't think you'll be able to make any of the above listed hands, fold and wait for the next round.

I would go to Padres to play poker, you can adjust your bets there... start off only betting small amounts until you get the hang of it - then you can raise your bets if you feel more comfortable.

If I have a least one pair, I'll stay in the game without folding.

Oh, and one other tip... go to Padres and play at a table alone; make sure there are no other players at the table. Within the first few hands, usually by the second or third hand, the NPC players at that table will all fold. If you make a high bet those first few hands, you will probably win enough gold to advance past your task :goodvibes

I hope I didn't confuse you too much! Let me know if you need any help... I can always lose a few hands of poker to you so you can pass the task :thumbsup2 Good luck!

Thank you for the instructions! Cruise came along and played with me (cough letmewin cough) because at first I really had no clue what I was doing.

They only dealt me two cards!! I was like, what's up with that! Give me my other stinking three cards before I have to make a decision to fold or bet!! CHEAP!!

I think Cruise lost a few hundred to me. She now has permission to sink my boat as many times as she wants... :headache:

And guess what... after finally finishing both poker tasks, the stinking guy gave me ANOTHER POKER TASK! Grrr... Leave my shopping money alone!

...Adult Stump Hunting...
Luckily at the present there are only 2 quests that require you to take on stump and they don't start till you reach lvl 30 notoriety and then lvl 15 staff. However if anybody want to be shown a great place to take on stumps without them being able to hit you let me know. If you want to do some exploring and try to find it on your own - it is by a waterfall in El Sudoron on Padres Del Fuego. Even though El Suduron can be entered by going into either of the caves, it is much easier to swim around the island to the beach area (Las Pulgas) and entering that way.

BobRichmond

05-28-2008, 11:42 PM

There always adding new things, plus that Black Pearl quest is LONG. Is that the new quest?
The Black Pearl Quest is one you started right after the start of the game where you are finding crewmates to help Jack take back the Pearl. The first crewmates are found in the quest named "The List". Then there is another quest to find the rest of the crewmates. By the time you finish both quests you will probably be in your middle 20's in notoriety. The last step in the second quest is a boss battle that will take some doing and a good crew to finish.

The "Ultimate Ship Battle Screen Shot" contest is supposed to be starting today but the "enter" button is still grayed out for me.

Do any of you PotCO veterans know if they have offered any detailed rules with thier previous contests? It'd be nice to have a little more information on this one. If I can only submit one screenshot I'll wait until the end of the contest to submit any but right now, I don't know. :confused3

The "official rules" are available now. You have to sign into PiratesOnline.com and click the contest link. Then, click the little "submit" button and you wil have to agree to the rules before you can do anything else.

Unfortunately they don't answer the question about multiple submissions. Some brave soul can test that and see if they are allowed to submit more than one. Even more interesting, there are size and filetype requirements but I don't see where Photoshopping the images is ruled out.

I think, I'm going to get into support chat about this tonight.

Oh sure... Pink, did you know you could swap a playing card when playing poker? Oh really? Cool!

Sorry about that... :hug:

Here are a few "Cheating" related questions that I have.

1) When you "swap" a card, does the card you are swapping go into your inventory?

2) What triggers the dealer to accuse you of cheating? Is it random. I suppose that it is possible he'll do it if the same card shows up twice in the round. If so you'd have to pay close attention to the cards on the table when you are swapping

3) If you get caught for cheating you loose your winnings. Are the winnings counted from when you sat down at the table, entered the bar or logged into the game? Can I protect my winnings by periodically doing one of those things?

1) When you "swap" a card, does the card you are swapping go into your inventory?

I can answer that one.... NO! I swapped a 5 of Spades for a 7 of Diamonds.... after I got out of jail, I ran back to the Tavern and checked my card inventory. Neither were there.

Just a friendly little reminder to hang onto any Poker tasks you might receive. Our guild event is coming up quickly - Tuesday.

Petez is designing awards for the Winner and the Loser of this event. I've seen a sneak peak - they are CUTE!!

Also, for all you CHEATERS out there, you might find it helpful to make a document with all the cheat cards organized by suit that you can use as a handy reference during the game. Just don't blame me if you get sent to jail..... :dance3:

I for one will be an honest pirate princess: ...... Cruise is not pirate:

Aww, thanks to the guild for taking my mom out sailing last night. She was telling me all about it this morning - she's SO excited to have been out on a boat with you all! She's been going on and on about how many ships you all sank.... and the gold.... and the jail.... :rotfl: (well yeah, you sailed with Cruise...)

I think that might have been her very first time sailing with people. She usually goes out by herself.

Thanks again! You all rock! :grouphug:

Hey, I think we really only sank that one time(correct me those that were with us if I am wrong) and only because those skeleton ships are stinking cheap lightning users!!!!:lmao:

I was so glad she finally got on the ship. I think we confused her because I originally started the crew but then lost my internet connection WHILE WE WERE SINKING SHIPS so Bev had to re-crew the people left on board. I was able to get back on board but it was no longer my crew. I don't think your mom recognized who was trying to crew her at first since she didn't know the pirate name. Glad she made it in time for all that loot!!! Where the heck were you missy??????

Just a reminder that our Poker/Plunder Event is tonight. I'll be inside the Royal Anchor Tavern on Port Royal at 8 pm EST.

We'll all need to jot down our gold amount before we begin playing as we will be presenting an award to the winner and the loser of this event. We'll play for about an hour or so, then everyone should tally up and post their winnings on this thread so Petez can hand out the awards tomorrow. :thumbsup2

We will then head out on my boat for some plundering to finish out the evening until our fingers are too tired to shoot anymore pirate:

And I want to thank my WONDERFUL guild members for hanging in there and sticking it out with me last night in order to get that French Scourge. I know I was in a crabby mood, so thanks for your patience!! I have the BEST guild evah! :hug:

KrazyPete

06-10-2008, 11:27 AM

I posted in our site forums but I'll copy it over here for the general public:

Since I won't be able to be at "Poker at the Port" tonight, I went ahead and worked on some of my poker tasks this morning. Here are some things that I learned that may be helpful for some of you tonight.

Your task requires you to win a certain amount of gold. It will add up everytime you win but it will not count your losses against you. I don't know if this is true if you get caught cheating. I cheated 3 times this morning and was lucky enough not to get caught.

If you have multliple poker tasks on different quests you can complete them at one time. I had three and once I had won 150 gold all three of them were passed. Before you start you might want to pick up another poker task or two so that you can get them done at once.

The Poker task on the Black Pearl/Hendry Cutter quest is actually three parts. Once you win the NPC will send you back to the tables two more times. If several of you playing tonight are on that first poker task, then you all might be at it more than an hour to get everyone passed. Maybe consider getting one out of the way as practice for the event tonight.

One of the tattoo quests on PR requires it. I think it's the the "Special Ink" quest. And Black Mack in the Rowdy Rooster will give you a poker and a blackjack task but the award is a cheat card. I don't know if you care about winning those.

When you get the cutlass level 15 quest it requires 400 in Poker and 400 in Black Jack. I think the gun one did too. Arg... I hate poker too. The wins counted like Pete said but in Black Jack I didnt get the part I pitched in counted as win. I bet 25 each time and win 50 but only counted as 25. I dont understand the cheating part? Im afriad I'd get caught lol

KrazyPete

06-10-2008, 12:03 PM

I dont understand the cheating part? Im afriad I'd get caught lol

We had a brief discussion on cheating beginning at post 432 (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1785894&page=29#432).

From what I've read and what I've seen myself, the main trigger for the dealer to catch you at cheating is if the same card turns up on the table twice. So if you see a 3 of spades showing anywhere on the table or your hand, don't swap in another 3 of spades from your cheat cards. Even if you are careful you could still get caught cheating once the hidden cards are revealed.

I think I read once that if you swap in a card and another like it turns up before the end of the round, you can quick fold out to keep from getting caught.

If you get caught, you will lose your winnings and go to jail. You won't be groggy since you weren't knocked out. The dealer will take your winnings from the time you sat down at the table. You can protect what you have won by standing up from the table periodically.

Even if you are careful you could still get caught cheating once the hidden cards are revealed.

I've also read that if another player (including the 3 NPC's) holds the same card in their hand as your cheat card that that will trigger the dealer to accuse you of cheating.... so the more ppl playing at the table, the bigger the risk that your card will turn up somewhere during the game, whether placed out on the table or in someone's hand at the end of the round.

It's a huge risk since you have no idea what the other people are holding in their hands until the end of the game... and then it's too late! :dance3:

That's what I meant by "hidden" cards. The ones that are in play but you can't see (ie: the cards the other players/NPCs are holding).

It can be risky. You have to weigh the risk against the reward. If another player/NPC is bidding up the pot and you can swap a card to do something like turn two pairs into a full house, I'd go for it. The higher the bid goes the more players will fold out and you could win big.

...Just what are they trying to do to me???
There is a poker technique that works pretty well when 2 or more players need to get past a poker task. However it takes some coordination; as you have to watch the quest track, chat box, and game all at the same time.

The basic technique is to raise at every point until all the NPCs fold and then all players fold except for the one that is supposed to win the hand. You do that until one persons quest task is done and then via chat that person tells the next that it is their turn to win.

Once a person gets near their maximum gold (65,000 at the moment) this technique also can work at "losing" some of that gold to a friend that could use it.

Just for those that don't have test server access, this is the test server release notes from today:

Release Notes - June 10 2008
- Privateering has been added:
-- Join either the French or Spanish factions as a mercenary and engage rival mercenaries in epic naval battles
-- Launch your ship from the new islands of Isla De La Avaricia (Spanish) or Ile D'Etable De Porc (French), and you'll automatically be put into Privateering mode
-- Please note: because it is a large, more complex feature, Privateering will stay on the Test Server for at least a few weeks, at which point it will move over to the live game.Thanks for your patience!
-- Some new Privateering related loading screen hints have been added
-- NPCs with glowing question marks above their heads are "helper NPCs" and will give advice in the same manner as quest dialog. You can find a couple of these NPCs on the privateering islands

- Improved some quest dialog
- The quest journal should now scroll when using your mouse's wheel
- Fixed the radar. Townsfolk are green, players are blue, and enemies are red.
- Updated the dx9 texture debugging
- A fix for the ship repair panel not updating after repairing your ship
- Fixed a bug that allowed the French/Spanish NPCs to respawn on their ship if it was taking too long to defeat all NPCs
- Fixed a bug with the voodoo doll that would divide healing power among all attuned targets(including enemy NPCs) instead of only dividing it among attuned targets that are players

Scarlet is not bad. There are a lot of hot NPC women in the game. If we can agree that Mrs. Swann is best "rendered" of them all then I would have choose Josie McReedy as a close second.

Sure, Scarlet is scantily clad and always hanging around outside the bar in Tortuga looking for the attention of any hapless sailor to stumble out of there. There is some comfort in knowing that she will always be there for you. But Josie, she's tending the bar over in Port Royal. A classy lady who knows how to put those drunks in their place. When I stop in to say, "hi" she often simply responds by saying, "I'm busy." But I enjoy the cat and mouse game with her so I'll be back. ::yes::

There is some comfort in knowing that she will always be there for you. But Josie, she's tending the bar over in Port Royal. A classy lady who knows how to put those drunks in their place. When I stop in to say, "hi" she often simply responds by saying, "I'm busy." But I enjoy the cat and mouse game with her so I'll be back. ::yes::

I cannot wait to schedule a Roo Rocking vs. Elite Dis ship combat event!...We're going to blow you all out of the water, LOL! (or not....) :rotfl2:
All I can say is there will be a great party going on the winning ship and another great party going on in jail after all the smoke clears.

I just wonder if the new PvP Ship Battles will have a boarding component (like for flags) or just the cannon battle.

For the Black pearl quest, I now have to dig up a severed arm...:eek: what kind of a task is that? :confused3 ICK!!
If it is on Cangrejos, it always was a difficult task due to the large number of crabs and is more difficult with the added French undead there. If I remember correctly it also gets you cursed by voodoo, so a bit more killing will be required to clear that up.

Oh figures...

I've been running around Cangrejos now for over 10 minutes. Cannot find that arm anywhere!

Doesn't sound this is something I can do alone?

ARG!! Stupid stupid crabs got me while I was posting over here! :eek:

CHEAP!!!

Oh how we wish Scarlet WAS "bad"!!!:thumbsup2 Or even Cassandra on Port Royal.

However my eye was recently caught by Veronique Roux (the boatbuilder on Ile D'Etable De Porc). Her "attributes" were so enticing that I had to visit her again to get her name.:cool1:

You went off line just after I got on, so I got a photo of the spot for you.

I did this one last night. I fought the L20+ crabs and I didn't even need too. The task describes a rock formation on the "point" of the island. There are a couple of these. In both locations, the large crab was on the sand side of the rocks and the dig spot was on the grass side. So no encounters with big beasties or nasty undead required at all. You can follow the beach around the island and completely avoid most all of the enemies.

For crying out loud, not another? Guys!! FOCUS!! This game is NOT about female NPC's and their so-called "attributes"! Sigh......

Yeah, I was sitting at Panera Bread and my laptop battery died - I had just found the arm and had come over to post an ETA to my post... when the power went out on me. But thanks for posting that pic! I bet others will find that VERY handy when they get to that task in the quest. :thumbsup2

Grrr... you always have it easy, don't you. Go ahead, rub it in... Oh, that task? I did it in 20 seconds with my eyes closed and no hands..... :rolleyes:
