Change to the quest description on the home page - Cheaters Never Prosper?

This is Yavn going overboard again. Answer Guides, come off it, you can find the answer guides all over the web. Threatening players will not stop it. What now, they going to check VMK names agains Dis and other boards and ban everyone?

See, people, the reson I never post my name on the board is because of VMK and their "going overboard" - and yes, they HAVE banned people for things that were said on here. Not to mention that more than one host has confronted a player because of what was said on here, and other boards.

I am not done with VMK, but this just validates my overzealous desire to hide my name when on this board.

I am doing that clearing my record LOL.

I noticed this morning that there are three people who completed the quest in 1 hour 7 minutes, 1 hour 9 minutes, and 1 hour 29 minutes.

Seems a bit unlikely to me.

I saw that too and it got me thinking. To win the battle you have to get more than 575 in credits. Do you suppose if you sold something (like bat magic for I think 2,000 credits) that will get you by that round? There is absolutely no way to finish that quest in that amount of time. Took me that long just to get a game of pirates going.

I sold a bling magic for 2000 credits and it did not advance me.

Oh and organizing a team takes great pirate skills. You need to captain your team hoping they do not set sail and mutiny. And as we have seen many pirates were just like Captain Blackhearts crew.

So working out a plan and having it work for your players is a skill. Many try and many fail because they can not lead.

Many take the thought and change it to make it their own.

And by Sunday the organizing was getting better and less wait for your team to arrive because each group had work out a plan.

Lets say this quest is a marathon and only players with a stubborn will and endurance of a pirate can finish this task and keep the pirate code.

Many had figured out what needed to be done after just a few games of trying.

So teams play for pirates score is definately not cheating. A skill of getting people, keeping people and working together is something pirates has been missing.

I think VMK did this one on purpose, except for a few trouble makers not many complaints about rude players first time in months

Except for the losers who win and dump their team Captain Blackheart would have them walking the plank to davey jones locker

One of those was my wife...we used no cheating method, no guides, as such, and no friends.

She managed to get through the Pirates part her first try, so the rest of it was easier. We'd already done the quest, so we had the answers on a word document. I wanted her to get a good time, so I sat behind her and helped with the task list.

Hopefully VMK won't see me helping her as "cheating," because it's not even close, in my book.

Pirate 575 alone?

According to VMK, you cheated. You created your own guide, and therefore, deserve a permanent ban.

They did say to write the answers down - "you'll need a pen and paper." (not an exact quote) That's my loophole.

Lol you're right but the only part you really need pen and paper for is
the part where you have to keep track of those numbers and remember them
to add them up and find the room. I don't know if there is anything
other than that though since I'm still stuck on pirates..

This is my take on how this could be done: (Now I may be completely wrong but this way can be done.

I think if you refresh 4 times after being shot and then get killed with gold
and used 2 clones That would get the wiiner that could get you @220 for 1st and 2nd Rounds 440 so only 35 needed in second round.

It is do able but only with 4 players all playing to help the winner to be.

This is truly an amazing skill so congrats for pulling that off. But yes very do able for the really good players. Everyone will want to be on your wife's pirate team now if I ever play pirates again I sure do.

This is the quest that broke this camel's back. I have a few things left to do in VMK and I'm gone.
