I was in Delhi. I needed to go to NY. Twice in a row I got stopped by pirates! I thought this wasn't supposed to happen! I thought you could only be pirated once!

Yar! Argghh!

Umm, where is that written?? :-/

True, it's highly UNLIKELY that you'll get pirated twice in a row, 'specially if you give 'em a few minutes to move on to some other unfortunate sap. But there's no guarantee. The likelihood of it happening just got taken down a couple months ago by the Boss On High, Ben. So, if it happens again, I'd have it out with him. *wink* ;-)

Ben:

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.

Squirrel: So you can still get pirated twice in a row, but you *shouldn't* get pirated for the rest of the day. Not to say you won't, but you'd be unlucky.
