Hello,

After a lot of valid complaints, I've finally changed the rules a bit for how pirating works.

1) The chances of getting pirated twice in a day have been reduced, and you should never be pirated more than twice.

2) You no long lose money when pirated, only turns. The money loss hit newer players considerably harder than advanced Sleuths, so this should be a bit more equitable.

Wow, does this game have the best Admins or what? Thank you very much for listening!

This is good.. Wish this had been effective when I started off..lol

Thank Ben. As always it's nice to have an Admin that listens to his players while not making the changes too large. I think everyone should be happy with this! Can I get my standing with Steepers wiped out so I can go for Tigers now? This makes that much of a difference. Or do you see right through me and know I only want to change so I can have both books! ;-)

ctown, have you ever heard the term "veiled attempt"? You forgot the veil.

Mucho Gracias Ben & Sunny!

Thank you Admin!!! Think you could also put Orlando Bloom on the next new ship of pirates??

Thank you, Ben! I know this is going to make a big difference for a lot of people.

May I add that I believe Miss Snopes has a valid point - the pirate ships are currently suffering from a severe lack of Orlando Bloom. I'm sure this was just a coding 'oops' and easily rectifiable. Your swift correction of this issue is highly appreciated. :-D

I whole heartadly disagree, what the pirate ships are missing is the damsels in distress like Keira Knightley! ;-)

Hey this is great. Thanks Ben. Like ctown I might as well 'try'. Can I have a retrospective refund of all the ties I was pirated more than once, and will you believe me if I say I've kept tally and my records are totally above board (only minor pun intended) and accurate :)

Indeed great news (especially for new players) !
