575 Pirates strategy?

[lizbeth374]

Has anyone figured out a strategy that actually works to get the credits in pirates?

There were 8 of us and we ALL got past pirates this is how....

you NEED 8 ppl that you know are going to stick around.
Make sure all 8 ppl have at leats one person on their buddies list so they can find ou again.
Pick a pre determined lobby to meet in

Game play:
Choose who is going to win..That person starts the game and on royal.
Chose a shooter..that person is on Pirates
Everyone else just fills in on either side. NOBODY SHOOTS EXCEPT WINNER AND SHOOTER JUST SWIM AROUND AND STAY ALIVE UNTIL YOUR SHOT!!!

Round 1:
Shooter shoots ALL Royal EXCEPT winner.
then
Winner shoots ALL Pirates except shooter.
Winner gets gold bombs and shoots the shooter who by this time has about 100 points.
should finish the round with between 250-300 credits.

Round 2:
Shooter shoots all but winner
winner shoots all but one LOW CREDIT PERSON.
leave that person floating around while you get killed by kraken.
he takes some but not all of your credits.
this makes it possible for a round 3.
you will have between 50-100 credits at the end for a total aso far of 300- 400 credits (or more)

Round 3:
Same as round one

some can finish in 2 rounds but better safe than sorry...

Some tips.
when you are shooting line up with the person you are shooting side by side and shoot DEAD on ESPECIALLY when shooting with gold, it is more credits.

If you find that you are not getting enough credits one round play tag.
shoot opponent but not dead, have them get health and hit them again
do it until gold comes then kill them

This does NOT work with AI players!
everyone gets a turn to win.

I think this was our team's problem yesterday( other than the crashes and lags), we weren't getting enough points in each round for the main shooter.
I would say let the pirates team (in our case the 'losing' team) line up on one side of room.
Let the main shooter of the royal team go down the line shooting each member once. Let each member then go get health and 'line' back up to be shot again.
Let the main shooter then shoot each one again, then three of the members get health and line back up again to be shot. The fourth member can get health again, but doesn't need shooting until the gold cannons come out finally.
Now does all of this sound confusing? It sure was yesterday!
Also, if the main shooter crashes just as you all go in the room, have a back up person be the main shooter and figure out before you go into the room.
Of course do this for the first and the third rounds.
Now if I could just figure out that second round....

Can you please tell me if the "Shooters" need a special ship? In other words, is it best for the shooters to have the Black Pearl so there is less chance of them hitting somebody full on?

I guess I need to go find that.

Also, would lizbeth mind changing the title of her thread to "Disneychick's rules" or something like that?
