Can't get out of New York

I can’t get out of New York. Even though I’ve waited a while between tries, I was pirated three times in a row and now I’m reluctant to try again because I’m losing all my cases. Is anyone having problems with travelling today? Maybe the pirates have left Cairo and decided to blockaded New York instead!

Oof! Three times in a row is spectacularly unlucky ... on occasion I've been pirated twice in a day but never as much as that.

Twice in a day is usually my limit too but I guess the pirates felt particularly aggressive today. I finally made it on my 4th try.

I didn't actually think it was still possible to be pirated three times in a row :s

In fact from Ben in March 2008... >

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 (sic) 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.

I think I'd like some more details... like did some of the tries happen either side of a clockover/rollover.

@ SS

My first three trys were between 05:30 and 05:50 sleuth time. My fourth try was at about 13:00 sleuth time.

I hope that narrows it down for you SS.

I'm scared.

Well it has happened again! I was pirated three times trying to get to London, at 05:45, 05:50 and 07:28 sleuth time. If I didn't know better I would say the these pirates have a personal grievance with me :-(

What's going on with this misfortune of yours? First pirate, then townies mug you without any kind of shame, now pirates again. You surely must've upset a Fortune Teller in one of your trips...
