Funny Stories

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Something similar. Came out of a building in Oxbay (with no officers). The flashing red light signalled danger. Saw the guards running, so decided to follow. Lo and behold the bad guy was the Street Trader?! The guards quickly butchered him to death, which was vaguely amusing as I had not seen this before. However, his death seemed to trigger a response in the guards that I had killed him (I was nowehere near - honest) and out swarmed the guards (could not believe how many!), surrounding me, before I ultimately became their victim - no chance really and....I guess not so funny after all!<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

they saw you as a witness! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

funny thing with the cursed pirates at the entrance to the tavern....i wanted to see what would happen if i had GOD MODE ON....i fought for half an hour, trying to keep them away, and trying everything to get them to talk to me again....no good. wouldn't work...so, if i had hung around, and not just reloaded the game in the governor's office just before that, i would be fighting forever....3 immortals fighting for all eternity! and the guards were swarming out of every corner imaginable, and we were covered in them in seconds [or rather, the pirates were].....and they were all killed, by which time even MORE guards had come out....it was worse than tortuga....
another thing: never take your officer into a tavern. they'll kill the innocent people if a tavern brawl starts...and then you'll be hunted by the town guard....and if it happens too often, you might have the fort to deal with afterwards...crazy places in the Caribbean nowadays... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

another funny story: i had modified the Black Pearl to be fast...er. i was chasing down a corvette.....i was about to fire some grape shot into it, to help me when i boarded it [less crew is always better in a boarding!], but i zoomed right past it before i could fire a shot! by the time i had slowed down enough to aim and fire, it had sunk! i wanted that ship as part of my fleet!........i guess not.... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
if the real nelson was like you, who knows what would have happened at trafalgar! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> i trust on you guy's creativity for suggestions. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

that witness thing made me think of 'Quick! protect the 'package'!' and a huge amount of guards circling around you. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

as i think i already mentioned, and you prooved, it is rather fun to try and motivate the cursed pirates to join a fight. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> you know what i once found in the maltese abbey? a corpse...that was still alive! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> and in case you where wondering why he had survived for so long under the ground, he couldn't be killed! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> imagine running around in an endless crypt stuffed with enemies that you have to kill twice hunted by something that can't die. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> believe me: not good.
 
oooooooooooooh.....sounds fun. im gonna try it as soon as my exams are over!

lol.....me at Trafalgar? chances are i'd do something rather similar to Lord Nelson himself! even before i had even heard of him i was using the "raking" strategy to my advantage....
 
actually, it think you would crash in to them, making them sink, or miss them, leaving them completely flabbergasted, having no idea of what happened, or something else that would be un-planned and/or funny. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> no wait, i think that would be something that would happen to ME. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
hmm.....well, i have a tendancy to do VERY strange things...like sail head-on toward's an MOW's side....though usually i keep out of the firing arc, and shoot them with the bow guns [that's gonna be fun when we get the triple guns on the Flying Dutchman...<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/jackhat.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":j2" border="0" alt="jackhat.gif" />]
 
you know what i did once? shot off the main mast of a pinnace with a single bow cannon. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> the other one had been blown up by his stern guns. those where both very lucky shots! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
you should see me in a bad mood aboard the Black Pearl...32 ships, all against eachother, and me [me having raised the Jolly Roger at the beginning]...by the end of the battle, my ship's still afloat, and in good condition.....while EVERYONE else is sunk...
 
aye, i can get a little passionate in battle when sailing the black pearl. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" /> especially at high speeds. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> as i already mentioned elsewhere, the pirate designed pirate skinned schooner MM does the same for me. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />
 
while sailing the pearl i just imagine that all the ships im sailing after have heard of it's legend [since most often they run after i turn towards them...not that that'll do them any good...i've made her faster than the fastest ship in the game by 1 knot]...i sail after tham, guns blazing, mood fiery, and anger only being boosted thanks to the Davy Jones theme that i've added into the game...as a battle song... [actually, i may record the Davy Jones theme that i play on my keyboard, and add that into the game...i dare say, im getting better at playing it than Davy Jones! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/jackhat.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":j2" border="0" alt="jackhat.gif" /> ]
 
that's exactly what i mean. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> except from the fact that i play the main theme from 'the rock', which sounds pretty awsome as well. or at least the last half of it. the first half of crimson tide is pretty good as well. i can put them on the FTP server for you if you want. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> it is, however, really nessesary to remove the last half of crimson tide. otherwise it just sounds crap in battle. some goes for the first bit of the rock. if you want to, could you do those things and convert them for me?
 
well.....i have Crimson tide AND The Rock theme....but im having some sound converting trouble at the moment...need to contact my friend to find out what to do about it...he's the sound pro...not me..
 
haha! i knew you might have those already! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Hans Zimmer. Always that Hans Zimmer. What's wrong with good 'ol John Williams? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
what's wrong is that i hadn't heard of him before. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> i'm going to look up some stuff from him.
 
YOU HADN'T HEARD FROM JOHN WILLIAMS??? OH - MY - GOD!!! Star Wars? Indiana Jones? Jurassic Park? Harry Potter? Those don't exactly have unmemorable music, do they? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
i cant believe you haven't heard of John Williams, Morgan...GO GET SOME MUSIC NOW!

OKAY.......who else has a funny story?
 
So there I am (Nathanial Hawk v 13.0.3.4) ... in my Line Ship ... coming off an island ... decided to give the crew some more weapons .... go down to the cabin ... and OOPS!

There is another ME in the cabin !! Yes, two of me, same outfit and everything.

About six feet away and at right angles to me, and carrying out the same movements as I made, as I made them ... I spent quite a while trying to get close to see if we could "talk" ... no luck.

I couldn't leave the cabin ... Had to crash the game to get out.

Quite funny at the time !
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />..........now THERE'S something i you dont see everyday..........<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

i could just imagine your character walking into the cabin and seeing another him...HEEELO...<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
 
hey, i know the music, i just didn't know who made it! i don't really like those either. but maybe i'll find something.
 
This happened just now.. When I leaved Tortuga to sail to QC, the fort started to fire at me. All of my masts were fired. Luckily I could sail away before I'd have been sunk. But.. One of the crewmembers didn't notice that the masts are gone, and he shinned up the air.

i made 2 shots
