puzzle pirates : for those that care

[dr4b]

I emailed them to say "hey, you guys should put in a friends list thingy". Cleaver wrote back to say "Yah. Number one request. It'll be there when we have the time to implement it. Glad you enjoy the game!"

Fine, that does it, my goal in the game is now to start up a "Deanna's friends list" crew.

Just kidding :)

I wonder if I should move all of my puzzle pirates speak to my janthina journal... it might be appropriate as I'm not really using that for much as I haven't been able to play a lot of Bemani... and because my pirate's name is Janthina :)

Midnight Ocean's going to be started when they start up the pay server, AFAIK (which basically means, "that's what Nykkel told me"). I think that's supposed to be happening fairly soon (like within the next month). And in theory there'll be a *little* bit of stuff grandfathered in but not much... so people will start off fairly equally again.

hmm, ok. I guess it just seems like a bunch of people I know who signed on recently are all in Diamond. Might just be random chance (and not that many arches).

well, to be honest, while I'm good at the prototype games for a lot of the puzzles in PP, I suck at the PP versions of a lot of them, at least relative to what you have to do to get good rankings. The only thing I'm consistently good at is Swordfighting.

What is "good", by the way? I keep wondering about what rankings mean and what order they're in, but their help system really needs, um, help.

Whee, my pirate worked enough Navy jobs that he can afford boots now!

well, you know how every time you reach a league marker it gives a duty report? and pirates are marked things like Incredible, Excellent, Good, Fine, Poor, Booched?

I rarely get above Goods on most stuff. I do get lucky sometimes. But certain people consistently get Excellent marks on *everything*.

I don't really know what's really really good. Look at the player profiles for some of the captains and officers of good crews and you'll see some crazy good rankings in stuff. (I think Stiiv and Spinn of my crew are both crazy good at everything... do a /who Spinn and click on it when it says "Spinn Info" or whatever. You can also see the Yo-ho Yohos song if you click on a link to our crew :) ) If you click on the underlined links under your rankings or other people's, you'll also get to see who are the top ten in each category in the ocean or the archipelago. Neat, huh?

Hopefully I can catch you online later :)
