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.

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) !

I was pirated twice in a row on an AVH making it impossible to travel to the next city.
Crap!

BUT was Orlando Bloom aboard? If so, I might sell my hostage negotiation. ;)

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! ;-)

And I want both books AND both skills! It seems my hostage negotiation would work no matter where the pirates are!!!! Gah!

I'll just take Orlando Bloom please.
