I have been checking out many different MUDs in the past week, and I have noticed that a lot have _terrible_ pirates. In my experience, the pirate class really does reflect on the quality of the MUD a lot of the time. So many MUDs have a stock pirate class. Horrible peg legs, lime green parrots, ugly eye-patches, hideous ships with skull and cross bones flags. Just awful.

If a MUD doesn't even HAVE a pirate class, I don't even try it. If a MUD has one of those awful Pirates of the Caribbean circa 2003 pirate classes, I probably won't give it a second look, either.

Coming from a player that is looking for a new MUD home, you HAVE to have a decent pirate class if you want to attract players.

Pirates > all.

You just owned the entire forum KaVir.

I'm sure you consider yourself quite the amateur comedian, but this is just stupid.

Arrr!

Don't be sad that KaVir made us laugh. You need to put on one of those eye patches and a horrid green parrot. Why?

Caaaaaaause It's a Pirates Life for Meeeee!

what? stop staring...

You'd have to be stone cold not to burst a side laughing at this.

It's a great parody of the other thread. That doesn't change the original thread but I'll hope people are a bit more cheerful after being able to laugh some of their tension off a bit.

I'm not going to argue at all, I'm sure someone else will and I think it's funny as hell.

He's right you know. I logged on his MUD a while back. I got through character creation, looked around and decided the MUD was an absolute piece of *CENSORED*. Why? Because it had no pirate class!!! Nor even the slightest semblance of anything that looked like a pirate class! And I mean...the original 5 classes in DIKU were Magic-User, Cleric, Warrior, Thief, and Pirate. Since then the first 4 have phased out in most of todays MUDs to the point that their considered geeky or dorky, but Pirate is still NEEDED for a MUD to be worth my time at all. At which point I spammed his ass with tells telling him that to keep players he had better drop all his other projects, you know balance, new features, new areas, new spells, new attack patterns, as what was REALLY REALLY important was the Pirate class... He told me he'd get right on it and let me know when his MUD had a pirate class so I could come back, but being the uncouth person he was to not have originally had a Pirate class I didn't believe him...till now.

Ninjas are the real ultimate power, not pirates.

Cha, dude.

Ut oh, no pirate class here...we got 30 some odd others though. We have an amazon-type class, is that close enough? hehe

Guess I better add in that vaunted pirate class, since its a must have, but wait, gotta put all that flashy crap into my new uber super webpage with the florescent orange text and convert all the test so it L00KS lIk3 s0m30n3 puk3d all over the website.

What a cretinous administrator...no Pirate class...remove this filth from the internet.

If pirates run around in skimpy animal skin/fur bikinis, stabbing things with spears and get additional armor bonuses for the amount of cleavage that they put on display then... yes! We have a winner! Yarr!

nope, no bonuses for cleavage, nor animal skins/fur bikinis... Oh well, maybe I have to re-think the whole thing and add pirates.

Cleavage? Surely, you gentlemen are speaking of the width of the cut a Pirate makes with his cutlass...


;)

eveywon nos how u where site baned cause u abused the bug in the original Pirate class. It was because of peeple like u that the class was made whimpy. Back in the day when I owned 1400 muds coded on 5000 more and ruled in the c pound language (40 years ago, before ne uv u n00bs) I persensly crated the class, but it wuz stolen from me!

We have pirates. We have ninjas. But we do not have pirateninjas. This makes me quite sad.

Bwahahahaha c pound...one of the many signs of an un-coder...

I don't know much about pirates, but I do know that this is the most kick ass pirate ever: http://maddox.xmission.com/
I say you guys should all collaborate and make a pirate class based off Maddox.

Also, this is off topic, but it looks like I have another fan -- Keriwena! That's almost like Rowena except she removed the beginning and replaced it with something else. Not bad.

-Row

You know, Rowena is the main character in Barby and the 12 dancing princesses. My daughter watches that movie more than I watched 'Enter the Dragon' and that's saying something heh.

Er wait, let me translate that...

Ye know, Rowena be th' main lassy in Barby 'n th' 12 dancin' princesses. Me daughter watches tha' movie more en I watched 'Enter th' Dragon' 'n tha's sayin' somethin' heh.

There we go :)

Keriwena is an older name on TMC then Rowena, suck it.

mwahahaha

-Syn

Yes, your account is 3 months old, and hers is 6 years old, I bet she didn't copy you...

Maddox is a pirateninja, technically.

And he already exists inside the heart of every immortal who's tossed out that random slay just because he could.

Yah but hes only a half-breed. This is a true guide to ninja:
