We now have a crew! Please contact Denzi or another officer on IRC or in game for an invite!Officers: Appels, Captainsonic, Cornerian
We also have a YPPedia entry at
http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Children_of_ArmokAs a preface, I went to go bump the old puzzle pirates topic but given how no one has spoken in there in a really long time I wagered any crew that was originally created had long dispersed. Also the forum yelled at me in a big red box when I went to bump it so I decided to make a new thread.
Puzzle Pirates is essentially a collection of mini-games in a pirate-scented MMO wrapper. There are upwards of twenty or so at the time I am writing this and the community from what I have seen is pretty good. The game offers two payment methods to play. You are either on the blue-named subscriber oceans (I think it is around 5-10 dollars a month) or on the green-named doubloon oceans (Which are free to play or where you can buy doubloons to do most of what you would do on the subscriber ocean, There is actually a working exchange market for buying and selling doubloons automatically with other players so everything can be achieved though gameplay) I am not so good at explanations so you can check out the website for it below.

http://www.puzzlepirates.com/Puzzle Pirates was recently launched on steam and there is a short-term promotion going on where if you sign up for the game you will get a 5-day pirate/parlor badge and some skeleton amulet thing that apparently turns you into a skeleton. I recently picked this up because the steam integration (basically you never have to remember login information because the steam version of puzzle pirates uses the steam API to get your username whenever you go to log in) makes it really convenient. I just realized though I've never stuck to playing YPP because I have never had a decent crew. Been playing it a little with another Bay12er and started wondering how nice it'd be to get a Bay12 crew going, or at the very least get a bunch of people on the same server so we have a list of Hearties.
Currently me and the other Bay12er are playing in the Sage ocean, but since neither of us have bough doubloons 'yet' I think we would be more than willing to swap servers. Probably have a good ten doubloons between us in the last two days of play so with more people it would not be that hard for us to get the money gathered up just from some casual play to get a crew, officers, and a sloop.
If you are interested in seeing what the populations look like, check out the link below. It shows current pirates online for every server. Just remember that servers who are named after a shade of blue are pay servers and shades of green are doubloon servers.
http://www.puzzlepirates.com/status.xhtmlI'd love to hear what everyone else thinks. Who would be up for attempting a Bay12 crew on Sage and who thinks we should move to another server? Obviously tell us what server if you think we should focus on a bigger or smaller server, Sage seems to be a bit in the upper middle as far as population goes. (Viridian is the largest, Malachite is the smallest) Apologies for the poor initial post but I'm rather pants about these, if you think anything should be added please tell me.

Disclaimer: I'll update this list whenever I can, if you see your name on the list and it is wrong or you do not want to be on the list mention something in the thread (I'd say PM me, but I'll only actually be logged in if I want to change something or post)
Need Help? Ask! If you would perfer though, Dachimpy has a pretty decent set of videos for basically every minigame in puzzle pirates, He explains it well enough that you will get a general idea on how scoring works and the objective of each minigame. Link:
http://www.dachimpy.com/index.phpTalk with your fellow Piratedwarves!Raidcall!hitty40's made his Raidcall server available for us to use. Raidcall is a sort of mix between Skype and Teamspeak/Ventrilo in so far as it's a voice chat software with a dedicated chat interface that isn't hidden behind a button. You can download raidcall at a link below and the infomation to the server are also below, please be sure to respect Hitty40 and his server!
Raidcall:
http://www.raidcall.com/hitty40's server is accessible though searching either for 'Hitty40' or the group ID 1006112
IRC!Mibbit Link (May or may not work):
http://02.chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23B12PP&server=%20irc.ircsoulz.orgI have taken the liberty of setting up an IRC channel for us, since it'll make it way easier to co-ordinate things.
It's on newnet, like #bay12games is.
To get there, use these details:
Server: irc.ircsoulz.org
Channel: #B12PP
If you don't already have an irc client, you can either follow this guide (Which i'm stealing from my own post elsewhere)
Guide~
STEP ONE : Download a lovely IRC client! Here are some suggestions!
1.
http://www.kvirc.net/2.
http://www.mirc.com/3.www.silverex.org <- Xchat but free or something
STEP TWO: Depending on which one you chose, enter the server details where asked (irc.ircsoulz.org)
STEP THREE: Once connected to the server, type /join #B12PP
STEP FOUR: Ye be sailing pretty now, yarrr.
If you don't want to do that, use mibbit, which can be found via google I think.
Also I have +m set so you'll have to be voiced to talk, but I'm gonna be there as an OP at least until Darvi or whoever is "in charge" can be made an operator.
