I personally like the 24 hour turnaround.

sterlingice · 09-30-2005, 12:15 PM

I'd love to have it every day. But maybe, so that you don't burn out (re: reindeer games, re:5-year olds, re:fofc world series, etc

) have it every other day- maybe Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Something like that.

JAG · 09-30-2005, 12:57 PM

I agree w/SI. I'm doing ok keeping up with it every day, but it's a lot more time-intensive on your end. I think you should go at a slower pace...possibly a regular schedule of 3 turns / week similar to what SI said, M/W/F with turns ending at regularly scheduled times?

Poli · 09-30-2005, 12:58 PM

Me be in the omerta IRC thing for another 10 minutes, lad. Then me takin' the old hag to see the witch doctor. She be having problems with her foot, complaining it be twice the size of the other.

And what with repairin' me ship and givin' me boys a night on the town, me coffers be a tad low theyselves.

To the Cap'n Lazy Eye Quinn (an' other parties so inclined), I be willin' to assist in yer raids for a share in the spoils. I can use me "connections" once we be back in port to get a more fair price on the goods.

Red-Eyed Ted

It be time to fix our ship.

1. Repair the "Insomniac Lemming" (5g)
2. Repair the "Insomniac Lemming" (5g)
3. Go hunt for guano ships

WSUCougar · 09-30-2005, 02:17 PM

Note:
To clarify, the 24-hour turnaround for posting pirate actions will always be in place whenever a turn deadline is announced. However, I can vary how frequently those deadlines are announced if you feel the game's pace is too fast. By necessity (and for reasons already noted by others), I will at times take longer to do the turn reports. But generally-speaking I'd like to pace the game to suit the wishes of The Brethren (and sister). If quick turnaround is what you want, I can aim for that. If spacing turns out every couple days is better, I can shoot for that instead.

A pirate's life for me! Garr!

fantastic flying froggies · 10-01-2005, 08:38 AM

'twas a quiet night, and moonlight shone on the quiet Caribbean seas...

Capt'n Louis Vergenbois lay on his hammock on the bridge above the water, in a drunken stupor after guzzling down a full keg of rum...

After days of cruising in vain for enemy ships to raid, the hold of the Fantastic Flying Froggies were still as empty as ever...

Two crewmen, drunk as their captain, but bored out of their skulls from inactivity, tiptoe up to the Captain. Suddenly, they rush up to the captain, cut the lines off the hammock and pick up the bundle formed by Vergenbois in his hammock and throw him overboard! Plouf!

Vergenbois never even wakes up and sinks to the bottom of the Sea while his former ship sails away, leaving just a lingering peal of evil laughter in the night...

Thus ends the short life of the un-famous pirate, Louis Vergenbois...

ibnsgirl · 10-01-2005, 07:35 PM

Avast ye, maties! Thar been a mutiny, and Louis Vergenbois be lost to Davy Jones' locker.

I tip me hat to the less-than-illustrious cap'n and vow to keep me eye out and me cutlass ready fer the mutinous crew...

WSUCougar · 10-01-2005, 07:58 PM

TURN 3 REPORT:

HARRRRR! We filled up our list, but now it’s minus one. The Frog jumped ship.

Pirate lore o’ th’ day: “Bite yer gold to test its worth, as Fate bites ye to test yer’s.”

The d6 crew was pleased to take berth aboard McShae the Picky’s “Full Corset.”

Offers:
McShae the Picky 8g
Vlad the Pillager 7g

Posted Quest: A supply ship from a naval convoy has run aground. Last word we received at Turducken Island suggests that a small armed sloop (d4 defense?) was guarding the stricken vessel. If ye choose to undertake this quest, finding the target will be automatic, but in the event of multiple pirates the best cruising roll will determine who gets there first. The value of the cargo is unknown.

The pirate Louis Vergenbois has been lost at sea. What is to be done with his 7g? All pirates may cast a vote: (a) Divide it, with 1g for each of the seven poorest of The Brethren; (b) offer it as a bonus to the next pirate to join The Brethren; (c) offer it as the prize in a contest (d) give it to Louis’ family

Remember to list a mandatory Drunken Debauchery action if you have one for Turn 4. Also note any crew losses or ship damage, as well as accept or decline any trade offers.

Pirate Thought
First day and we damage the ship and lost a crewman. Boy, my men look mighty mad that we are spending our only gold coin to recruit another crewman instead of spending it on grog. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt me.

Our Not-So-Cunning plan:
- Quest!
- If we are not successful in our quest, attempt, then Raid Ye Olde Fishing Village
- If we are successful, then Trade (if both holds are full, accept the highest offer for one of them)
- Then do the other

WSUCougar Rider Of Rohan Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: Port Angeles, WA or Helm's Deep	Note: To clarify, the 24-hour turnaround for posting pirate actions will always be in place whenever a turn deadline is announced. However, I can vary how frequently those deadlines are announced if you feel the game's pace is too fast. By necessity (and for reasons already noted by others), I will at times take longer to do the turn reports. But generally-speaking I'd like to pace the game to suit the wishes of The Brethren (and sister). If quick turnaround is what you want, I can aim for that. If spacing turns out every couple days is better, I can shoot for that instead. __________________ It's not the years...it's the mileage.

fantastic flying froggies Pro Rookie Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: Sunny South of France	'twas a quiet night, and moonlight shone on the quiet Caribbean seas... Capt'n Louis Vergenbois lay on his hammock on the bridge above the water, in a drunken stupor after guzzling down a full keg of rum... After days of cruising in vain for enemy ships to raid, the hold of the Fantastic Flying Froggies were still as empty as ever... Two crewmen, drunk as their captain, but bored out of their skulls from inactivity, tiptoe up to the Captain. Suddenly, they rush up to the captain, cut the lines off the hammock and pick up the bundle formed by Vergenbois in his hammock and throw him overboard! Plouf! Vergenbois never even wakes up and sinks to the bottom of the Sea while his former ship sails away, leaving just a lingering peal of evil laughter in the night... Thus ends the short life of the un-famous pirate, Louis Vergenbois... __________________ Detroit Vampires (CFL) : Ve 're coming for your blood! Camargue Flamingos (WOOF): pretty in Pink

WSUCougar Rider Of Rohan Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: Port Angeles, WA or Helm's Deep	TURN 3 REPORT: HARRRRR! We filled up our list, but now it’s minus one. The Frog jumped ship. Pirate lore o’ th’ day: “Bite yer gold to test its worth, as Fate bites ye to test yer’s.” The d6 crew was pleased to take berth aboard McShae the Picky’s “Full Corset.” Offers: McShae the Picky 8g Vlad the Pillager 7g Posted Quest: A supply ship from a naval convoy has run aground. Last word we received at Turducken Island suggests that a small armed sloop (d4 defense?) was guarding the stricken vessel. If ye choose to undertake this quest, finding the target will be automatic, but in the event of multiple pirates the best cruising roll will determine who gets there first. The value of the cargo is unknown. The pirate Louis Vergenbois has been lost at sea. What is to be done with his 7g? All pirates may cast a vote: (a) Divide it, with 1g for each of the seven poorest of The Brethren; (b) offer it as a bonus to the next pirate to join The Brethren; (c) offer it as the prize in a contest (d) give it to Louis’ family Remember to list a mandatory Drunken Debauchery action if you have one for Turn 4. Also note any crew losses or ship damage, as well as accept or decline any trade offers. = = = = = The results: Vlad the Pillager (31g) Cruising d4 Boarding d4 Raiding d6 Plans: Coastal town [1] Dueling d4 -1 Trade d4 HARRRRR! d4 Ship "Royal Viking Star" d4 Holds: [5g food][empty] Crew d4 Next Drunken Debauchery: Turn 4 (ignore, thanks to the wenches) Offer of 2g accepted for cargo.

TonyR High School Varsity Join Date: May 2003 Location: Texas	Antonio D'Griffin 1) Recruit d4 scurvy (1g). 2) Minion of Lady Elizabeth the Blond. 3) Plan a ye olde harbor city raid. Pirate Thought First day and we damage the ship and lost a crewman. Boy, my men look mighty mad that we are spending our only gold coin to recruit another crewman instead of spending it on grog. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt me. __________________ XBox360 GamerTag - Tonyr76 Former HTer Last edited by TonyR : 10-02-2005 at 02:56 PM.
