I wonder if anyone would like to try starting a DFC Puzzle Pirates crew.  I haven't been established in PP for a very long time, so I'm no captain and I don't have a boat (or anything, for that matter).  But if there's several interested people, it might be neat, especially if someone can climb up the ranks...

Puzzle Pirates is a casual MMO that has two different pay styles on different servers.  One is subscription, IE standard MMO model, you pay per month and you have access to everything (but boats are still expensive in-game).

The other, alternate payment method is Free2Play, IE anyone can hop on and play with no subscription for an unlimited amount of time, BUT if you want to buy neat stuff or hold an actual rank in a crew, you need Doubloons.  You can buy those for cash, or you can trade in-game gold for them in the in-game marketplace.  So if you're willing to sink enough time to get lots of in-game money to trade for doubloons from people who are willing to spend RL money to get ahead, well, you can still be a captain and spend no real money.

I never play for very long at a time, so I'm usually on the F2P servers.  I'd recommend that anyone first getting into Puzzle Pirates starts out on those too, because hey, like I said, free and not -that- limiting.  If we end up with a bunch of people who really like it, we might migrate to a subscription thing later.

Even if we're not into it enough to start a real crew, maybe I should hop on sometime and swordfight people if they're into it.  If you ever liked Puzzle Fighters, or to a lesser extent Tetris Attack, you will love the swordfighting game a LOT.  And if you want nice casual puzzles to play in the piratical atmosphere aboard a boat that's out hunting brigands, well, you'll like the rest of the game...

[Remalle]

I have three sloops and a merchant brig on Viridian if anyone's gonna start a crew.

[Malicus]

When I played, I played on Hunter (same name), but I don't really play it much anymore...

[Floirt]

I have a sloop and an officer rank in a random crew I found in an inn. I've gone inactive, but since it's SUMMER VACATION TIME, I might be able to replay.

Anyways, it seems we already have a fleet. 

[IndonesiaWarMinister]

I would play if there is any literal DFC.

[Sowelu]

I defer to you-all, and I won't try to organize. 

All I ask is a chance to bilge once in a while, I'd like to get back on the top 10...

[Floirt]

Ooooh, I was grand-master in bilging for a while. Then I went inactive and my skills plummeted. 

Well, if we are going to play together, I guess it's on Viridian, amirite?

[Sowelu]

Probably.  My account no longer exists I'm sure, but "Snagrat" is the pirate name I tend to use, so when I recreate she'll probably be the one I run into you as.  What's your names on Viridian?

Also, I'm pretty decent at carpentry, middling at sailing and navigation, slightly above-average in swordfighting, slightly below-average in gunnery, and well below average in brawling.  Haven't had much change to dredge for treasure yet, but it was fun when I did it

[Floirt]

I'm Floirtey myself. I added the "ey" like in "piratey". 

Well, I know I'm a great bilger, and a good carpenter, but I'm still learning how to sail well, namely, not flipping the fuck out in boards over 5 stars. I'm a good, lucky sword-fighter, and I can manage one-on-one brawls pretty well. I suck at gunnery, through, unless I find a good board.
Also, I can navigate with ease, but I'm a newbie battle-navigator. I can use whrilpools, through.

Also, new rigging puzzle. I suck at it.

Also, I make all my money playing poker. Mwahahahahaha.

[Sowelu]

NEW RIGGING PUZZLE?

Ugh, I can see where my tonight is going.

[userpay]

So they've gotten rid of the limited time free play now? I don't remember how long ago I played but if its free period now then I might be tempted to join.

[Sowelu]

Yup, that's what it is!  It's changed a lot over the years.

[Malicus]

I don't know.  The ocean that people are talking about is one of the doubloon (AKA free-to-play) oceans.

Anyway, me on Hunter (though do note that I'm quite rusty...): http://hunter.puzzlepirates.com/yoweb/pirate.wm?target=Malicus

[Sowelu]

Whoa, I still exist!

Don't mind my novices.  That character was me joining briefly after a long time of being gone.

[Floirt]

Woop. I switched crews and I don't remember it, ah well.

Apparently, I'm the worst guy of our "crew" in terms of stats. To be fair, my chara got deleted once, too.  And I lost some stats when I relogged in for two days a month ago or so.
