Hello Fellow Sailors!
Seeing as HELM has recently celebrated our 3rd year anniversary I believe it be time to celebrate yet another milestone. Sir Henry Morgan's Rum keeps flowing so we might as well keep celebrating, eh?

I am approaching a monumental milestone in my career as a trader in Avonmora. I am about to reach 1,000 captains! I believe there have been a few famous sailors who have reached such an accomplishment by using voodoo bought with credits but I have chosen to acquire them with raw gold (be it purchasing captains or paying gold for bribes).

I began in Avonmora as a humble landlubber in September of 2010. It would be many years before it came to be known as 'Avonmora' but I had big dreams for my place in the world. There was a fierce battle on the old server which is now closed (more on that story another time) but once it concluded I turned my attention to trade and how I would build my trading empire. Reaching 1,000 captains has been almost exactly 6 years in the making... others have done it faster than I but I am happy to join them finally.

EDIT:
DezNutz cast the bribe to give me my 1,000th captain!

I am curious... who are the players who have reached 1000 captains?

That's an interesting statistic to see. Top 10 captain's counts or the 1000 Captain's Club.

New Achievement -> 1000 Captain's Club

You can count me in that club, Da Vinci - I myself am a million captains all over.

Congrats Knight Orlong! jk

6 years!! Now there is a milestone! Congrats (early) on your achievement. I will test my RnG some more for you.

I was fairly certain SGT Blue and Xepshunall had reached 1,000 captains but I just checked and they have less than 700. They may have received some assassins although not likely 300+. They were some of the first voodoo gods so I believed they had used their gold and credits on bribes.

Now I'm not sure if it has been done before... Is anyone willing to share their captain count above 1,000?

1001 for me...
