Well, I've been around the world four times now, and this is a first. Traveling from London to Dehli, I got hijacked by pirates.

I knew they were blockading Cairo, but up until this point I had no idea I was in danger just traveling to Dehli!

Was this danger always present and I had just been very lucky up until now. Or are they picking on me now because I am over 2 million experience ?

And how do I learn hostage negotiation?

Yes, the pirates have been there ever since the expansion. For a while they were attacking very frequently, but it seems to have died down lately.

PM sent re hostage neg.

And let me tell you something, my whip has NO effect on these guys..and to top it all of of, they look NOTHING like Orlando and Johnie either!

I got hit the first time I ever tried to travel out of New York to go to London. Made me scared to leave town for a long time.

I just got hit for the first time yesterday, and I got hit on the way to NY, AND on the way back to London...

I just got hit again, this time trying to get from Dehli to London.

I wonder how they pick their victims. This never happened to me before, and then twice within 4 days.... I guess I was only really traveling around for the three weeks prior to that... not a huge sample size... but still.

Must get Hostage Negotiation.....
