I come to you with a competition, how many ships in total do you think I will have by May 2nd? The guesses end on the 18th of April. I currently have 100 Ships with 'more' then enough captains to grow.

The 'person' closest will win up to 15,000,000 gold coins, with some booty for second and third place! Whilst I believe in 'growth' of New players, so the 'New Player' who guesses closest will win 100 credits!

Start of this: Today
Guessing ends: 18th April.
Results revealed: 2nd May.
Rewards given out: 2nd May.

First Prize: 15,000,000
Second Prize: 10,000,000
Third Prize: 5,000,000

New Player Closest Prize: 100 Credits
Second New Player Prize: 75 Credits
Third New Player Prize: 50 Credits

So they are a certain amount of rules to follow if you want 'in' this competition or things you need to know:
- You are allowed up to 3 'guesses'/'posts' in the competition; of which your 'final' guess will be the only one that counts. Meaning when you make a 'second' guess your first guess will be 'void'. Unless you bring it back via your '3rd' guess.
- If there is any guesses after 18th April, I will ignore them. As the 'guessing' spree is over.
- I am allowed to sell ships 'when' I want but will make a reason to why I have done it IE If a pirate has attacked me, if there is nation affairs. Captain Jack will have a 'record' of my ships as well, so that I have not changed the ships just to 'spite' someone if you think I would, of course.
- I am able to build ships, commandeer ships or steal ships. (Make it harder to predict the amount of ships )
- I have 20% off for Officer Contracts.
- After 18th April, I can not sell ships - Only increase the ship size.
- To qualify as a new player, you have to have a ID of above 65000 ( If you have a old ID but are indeed a new player - I will need to see your biography, as proof.)
- If you cast Spy Network on me before the 'competition' is over then you will be disqualified, for you can change your guess to a 'appropiate' value.
-- If I feel like you have shared the 'Report' to others; so they may benefit from it, I will disqualify all players from your guild. ( IF I, and I will have strong 'feeling' of it. )

It begins now.

Depends on what ships you are making.

And its good to see you've taken as interest in merchantship.

Will you share the number of captains that is?

Are they going to be ships in fleet or does that matter?

will you have an independent party verify?

What is the cut off time for entry?

I like free money. Usually I just get a red pail and a bell and stand outside of Walmart for Christmas for that though.

200 Captains total at the moment

The ship count is altogether. Ships out of a fleet or not.

Cut out time is included in the first post 18th April...

I will post a Screenshot to the forums of my 'Ship Count' on the forums at the time the 'winners' are revealled.

Sorry I missed that. Cool.

I will have to think on it. Thanks for adding another forum game. Keeps things lively.

The number of ship you would make would be lesser than 600, if over you would show up on the top 10, which would be meaningless.

All depends on one personal view, Grimrock. May I ask is this a guess? Or are you thinking about it

Not a guess, but you would show up on the top 10 ship owners if you have more than 600 ship.

So this means you would have less than that now, wouldnt you?

Grimrock you should know me by now - I do anything that appeals to me at the time.

I am not afraid to be on the Top 10 Ship owners.
