 About me - Puzzle Pirates Related 

Background - (All 3 accounts on Sage)

First account : ArtemisFowl: 2006 ish, not sure exactly.

Approximately 4-5 years ago i joined puzzle pirates under the name of ArtemisFowl, (some character in a book i hade been reading - i didn ot know then it was the name of a greek god (Artemis) or an OM, so I tried Artemis first - obviously, I could'nt have that name). I don't remember much from them, all I do remember is dubloons were cheap, money was slightly harder to get and i was very good at sailing... strange now I hate it :s.

Second account: Cptnjjrl: 2007/2009

My second most recent account was Cptnjjrl, only 2-3 years ago. I had that account for at least 2-3 years and by then had obtained a couple of crews (Captain) + a Flag (Monarch). Though i never bought a crew.... One of my traits was crew 'hijacking' or, to be piratey correct, joining a crew and mutinying it. It was not against the law, and was perfectly allowed in terms of politics of crews etc. I usually chose crews without many members or a captain, so I was actually helping them out, rather then screwing everything up for them :D. Anyway... i got my first crew with a mate, and we ran it together as SOs. Then he left, and i took over as captain. I later formed a flag as well. My crew got to about 125 members, and my flag had that plus a crew of about 80-100. That was one of my most successful runs on this game, though i consider my current statue a bit better, even if I have slightly worse stats :).

Pre-Heart of Aphrodite

Well i started some time in August, near the middle of it after I quit the game i had been playing for the last 2 years. I started out by looking for an active crew, and found a relatively active and nice one. Only problem was, only one player was active in my time zone... he became my 'mentor' and has brought me up through the game. Though i new how to play, i needed encouragement, as i had quit twice, so there must have been something i did not like... Anyways his name is Meisterjow, some of you may know him, some not, he is one of my best mates to this day. Lawyerbabe offered me a position in her crew while i was still in this other one (Captain Annacrock). I declined, but added her as a heartie (just encase) - and thank god i did. Soon Meister left and i had nothing to do and no one to talk to. I sent Lawyer a message, asking if the offer was still open for me to join as officer - and soon i was in my current crew - Heart of Aphrodite.

While in Heart of Aphrodite

Since then, I rose up the ranks, immediately getting familiar with lawyer, the SOs and other members of the crew. After about 48 hours, i knew this was the crew for me, it was active, fun and friendly. After a bit of work, and when Lawyer and the SOs trusted me, i was made SO. From then on, i worked on improving my relations, getting money and helping out the crew. I now help train new officers how to pillage, and enjoy the day-to-day business of the crew. Now I have created a solid layer of trust and friendship with my fellow SOs, Captain and crew. I manage an Iron Mongers along with Bonifacio and Undecided and i run pillies daily...So far this try at Puzzle Pirates is going pretty well for me :) Ok im not captain or have a flag, but im in a crew that I love, and a flag that i love :) Glad to be here, (And ill take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me on my way)

- Best puzzles: bilging/rumbling

I always loved rumbling, but about a month ago from this date (21/10/2010) I learnt how to insta, and from then on in, it became one of my favourite puzzles... I think i can safely say ive beaten most of the SOs and Lawyer in my crew (Or those that I have played) - Though i admit i lost to Lawyerbabe the other day :) At the moment im still training my rumbling skill, for the first few weeks insta'ing people sufficed, but soon i learnt that its not all there is to rumbling, and the best rumblers arent those who just aim for instas. (Though if you can get one, it obviously does help :D :D) A Couple of screenshots are rolling just below of this text :) An example of an insta (I know, it was on my co-account, but just an example!).

If you do not know how to insta rumble, check out this youtube video, it helps allot and shows you how its done - Puzzle Pirates(YPP) Rumble Insta Video YouTube. Insta'ing is not too difficult, it just takes some practice :) - Send me a tell ingame, im always happy to help out!

As for bilging .. well i was always quite bad at bilging - i know, its supposed to be the easiest puzzle :s but there was a time where 'fine' was good for me... For this reason i never really bothered with it, got my tired and annoyed. Luckily, one of my best mates - Meisterjow - helped me out here. I usually set goals for myself, cause if i dont have somewhere to aim, i have no drive. But in this case he set me the goal of Master Bilge, and it gave me drive. I didnt just bilge non stop, i like variety and that woulda been boring ;s, but gradually i got better using Youtube and his help :). Recently i began to get frequent excellents and i soon rose to Respected. After a few more SMHs and CIs with Mindless, i had myself a master. (Only yesterday - 25/10/10). This was a great achievement for me and ill never forget it.. (now im aiming for renowned gunning :P) Anyway, i received a dog as a pressie :).. which brings me onto my pets.

Pets

I own 3 pets, 2 dogs and a rat :D - Jarquan (Small Dog) - from Meister, Marvin (Rat), Thor (Dog)

Jarquan: Black/Brown

Received from Meisterjow as a present for reaching Master Bilge. Named after me (duh) and usually Jar is the one i will walk :)

Marvin: Ginger/red (not sure what it is ingame)

My first rat :D Got from doing the mission - 'Furnish your home' or something similar :) Had ever since - named after character in The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

Thor: Grey/Dark grey-brown

Bought him in the inn for 10k + 2dubs :D My first pet other then Marvin.

Other info

At the moment I am Senior Officer and Diplomat in the crew Heart of Aphrodite :). Member of Noto flag (duh) and Ensign in the Ady navy. Im also beginning to get bored writing.

I go on frequent SMH's/HS/CI and poker either hates me, or loves me.. depending on what kind of day im having. ;)-

I am very good friends with Karnax, Bonifacio, Lawyerbabe, Milanoszz, Undecided and Meisterjow. - And hopefully some more from the flag soon :) Plus i like playing Kade Sim with those above and others :)

Thanx for reading, i know its long, but i just had to write more then Karnax, and waiting for an SMH to load takes a while :)
