| Do you bring the brigantines into the stockpile or are they made automatically?
(I have not seen the Brigantine in any construction guide.) |

| Brigantines must be made by players. The only place they can be made is in the Skull's Nose Stockpile.

| I know know one wants to give out the time an invasion will happen. But once an invasion begins, can someone msg me in game to let me know so I can get over there and go to skull? I play this a lot from work and have the chat disabled while there so I can't monitor the chat to see when the invasion is. If someone could do that, I'd appreciate it. |

As long as i'm captain all they have to do is ask... and there is no price except their silence.
And your all welcome to everyone, I was just glad to be able to do a small part to help make this such a good game to play.

She's captain until an invasion fails to capture a town. At that time the pirate with the most negative fame becomes captain. BUT, the highest fame is often the current captain, so the old captain often gets mutinied only to take the job back seconds later. Overthrow is harder than it sounds. .gif)

| Wolf is correct... which is why currently the best chance of me being over thrown is if I retire from skull.

Sorry Namrog.. I earned this spot fair and square.
I do agree that should the captain cause a mutiny 2 times in a row from inaction, they should be removed. 2 failures to send invasions is 4 weeks.
This would still give captains the option to skip one attack in order to send a larger one the following time, but also give other people the oportunity to become the captain.
Though the only way this idea could work is if m2h removes the mutinies for when an attack fails on one town. I agree it should count if the attack fails on all of the towns but not if only one or two of them fails. Currently the average CL is high enough that 99% of the time the small pirates are guaranteed loosing no matter what time of day they are sent. And it shouldn't be fair the a captian that has worked hard on an invasion gets replaced because of one town.

| I don't doubt you earned it fair and square.
And each time -fame is cumulative for each invasion the fairness diminishes.

| Not sure I agree with this "And each time -fame is cumulative for each invasion the fairness diminishes."
If it wasn't there would be no clear captain and all you'd have on skull would be chaos as you'd end up with every invasion the captain would change to someone new..
And I'd meant more i'd earned the captain spot by the fact than in 6 months i've amased over -4500 fame. I've put a lot of long hours into making sure there was an invasion every 2 weeks without fail (I have not missed one deadline yet), sometimes i even managed it in less time.
Only once in 6 months was there an attack that failed completely.
And before any one complains that no one will ever catch up to me in negative fame. For those that don't know I do plan on stepping down from the Captains spot, by returning to remer island. It's only for a few months, i think, as I do plan someday to return and take up my life of piracy again.
As even I do see the need for equal opportunity and varriety... plus i need a holiday for me.. Kinda getting tired of doing nothing but wood cutting 3/4 of the time i play.
That and I feel the want to try out some of those new quests I keep hearing about, as most of them didn't exsit when I came to skull.

| Good point Aglarele , that's true. |
Wolflord468
02-09-2006 14:49
| Perhaps Aglarele, but not really needed that bad. Keelhails still manage to throttle their way through any invasion indefinitely. Raven cites that she's had all three towns fall only once, that was the one time the Keelhails were overmatched, and it's never happened since. The Dread Pirates come closer to defeat but they generally hold their own too. The Pirates... quite honesty they're pathetic, as revealed by the fact that last invasion the 3 of them we sent were wiped out by a single player in under 3 minutes. Pirates count on luck that they aren't seen before they take over so we send very few.
EDIT: And I seem to remember the Keelhails of last invasion lasting a full day and then some. So do you REALLY want pirates stronger than Keelhails?
The Captain earns his/her spot. (S)He gets it by donating a massive amount of resources that are used for successful invasions. The issue of the fairness of the fact that the captain is nearly untouchable really isnt as bad as it looks. The way I see it is that it's no different from the fact that Piranhattack is so far ahead in CL it'll be a long time before anyone can take him from spot 1 in CLs. The same applies with Spindoc, is it unfair that he is so mighty in fishing that he'll probably be on top till his account and/or Syrnia itself is deleted? No, because he spent those endless hours fishing to earn that big of a lead, just like Raven has spent a great deal of time earning her rank as captain.
And being captain doesn't mean you have some magnificent earning advantage, you're the same as everybody else for donations really. This last invasion I gained on Raven by a few hundred negative fame.

| Its not worth the time and effort for most high level fighters to kill keelhails. You can get equal XP and better potential drops other places, so why travel back to the main islands to bother with an invasion. Unless there is a reason to gain fame, or the drops improve, pirate invasions will continue to be repelled by lower level fighters looking for easy XP to raise their combat level. |

| The only "real" reasons Beavis would be:
1. Outside of ol, of course, coal can be only obtained on Dearn island courtesy of Naab Mines which means steel items are, in a sense, at risk in terms of the supply of ore to smiths.
2. Same as above except this applies to silver ore.
3. Dazar fish, aka raw tuna and lobster, are unavailable,for a short duration while Dazar is invaded.
So a high lvl fighter would be somewhat affected by a pirate invasion for a short duration of time. At the very least, there is some incentive for them to defend a city if they choose to.

| I would think this would be more of an issue for the clanless fighters. As piranha pointed out to me in the past, only a noob fighter doesn't keep a reserve of food in case of emergencies.
And in our clan at least, we usually have a backlog of ore that needs smithing and fish that need cooking. If a higher level fighter happens to be on the main islands when an invasion happens, then defending a city is understandable. But I really can't see a reason to travel back from Heerchey or Elven just to fight an invasion.
I totally understand that for specialists in mining or fishing an invasion can be a real headache, forcing you to work at a less favorable town for reduced XP/hour. But asking a high level fighter to clear the town is doing the same thing, asking them to fight for less XP/hour. |

| I'm with you there Beavis. I never disputed that at all in fact. My point was that there is at least some incentive for a high lvl fighter to clear a town if they want. It doesn't have to be strong incentive for it to be true. On the contrary, it's very weak incentive for a fighter such as yourself or Piranha to fend off an invasion.
