(Forum War)-AyeCappy vs World

[Most Lee Harmless]

The guy with a brag thread condemns others for needing attention : you couldn't make it up....

[Lana]

Thank god lefty...never thought I'd say that:)

Yeah, you are absolutely right that you never sought to actually topple and if you did who knows.

It was a hell of a lot of fun and no one lost an eye:)

The biggest thing Roberts and Danik types need from us is attention and legitimacy. I would recommend continuing our history lesson over on my thread

Hrere: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1049

as someone said recently, "this seems to be where the old players hang out." Also I made an even more recent post about avonmora history (which predictibly is what Roberts copied to do this thread, check the timestamps) in that thread, check it out.

In fact Roberts original Avonmora paper was really an attempt to do what my brag thread did; I actually welcomed that though cause he covered a lot of stuff I didn't have time for. If you remember I once gave him a nice interview, I have it somewhere. Probably reposted on the AyeCappy thread somewhere:)

Anyway Roberts isn't pure evil, he's just a need child:) I'll be over in the big boy room watching Westworld if you want to join me after you tuck him and Danik in their race car beds.

Think and say whatever you want (it's your thread, after all), but Danik and Roberts are the most interesting players in this game. And personalities too!

1) Which one of the following do you class yourself as: I myself, would class you as a pirate : But, who knows you may consider yourself as something else....
Pirate
Merchant
Privateer
Nobilist

I have dabbled now in all roles I found available to me, but yes I have returned to my roots as a lowly, unaffiliated, non political pirate. In the old days that would have included "hits for hire" and other, as the ac/dc song goes, "dirty deeds done dirt cheap," but I have turned down such work already.

2) Please, give your definition on the following : And your opinion of what you think of them :
Pirate
Merchant
Privateer
Nobilist

In terms of PG, if you are a pirate, you are conducting raids either solo or in concert involving voodoo in which you are the benficiary in some monetary way or other way. If you a merchant you obviously can be an armed merchant--in fact the more I try to answer this question the less I like it. For a long time I was an armed pirate merchant who traded with brigs and bows... These labels are blurry at best and reductive at worst. I'm not even sure what a nobilist is, some player who sinks a lot of $ into taking some port? Not my thing.

3) Out of a Frigate, Large Frigate or Ship of The Line, which one would you choose? ( Not mentioning attribute layout ect. )

You could define a mission and make this a lot easier, but basically I'm a light (or regular) frigate man. I enjoy the books of Patrick O'Brien, whose captain Jack Aubrey commands a variety of Age of Sail vessels, but most successfully in a frigate named Surprie. You will find a fleet named Luck Jack and a frigate named "Surprise" in my own navy.

4) Please, name a Victorious time for you : Perhaps a infamous raid that took place, that you took 50 Million gold coins , again, it can be anything you want...

Hard to top my first solo raid against Dungeness (pre pirate). He hadn't been hit in ages and ran an omni present trading business that crippled our guilds ability to hit HELM targets. My raid was both political and profitable, as well as having a staggering number of fleet actions. CD came on in the course of the raid and there was a vigourous throw down of voodoo. While one of my epic early wins (and subsequent defence). I did make a rookie mistake and qutie to the laughter of SSR and TPK who observed the raid, hit Dungeness down to zero fame--or it would have been even worse.

5) How long have you been in Pirates Glory, i have been here for about a year : Judging by your Player ID i would say around 2 years? Am i right or not?

You know I'm not exactly sure, but if not 2 years we're getting close. I was reflecting recently that this is about the longest I've ever played a game that wasn't chess.

2 to many! Joke, mate... Aye, after a while you tend not to count on how long... Makes me feel old...

6) Which guild do you consider " The Best " in the game? Or do you not consider any to be the best, all average?

The guild I like best doesn't exist anymore--the old school, pre-PK merger ZomB. I begged to be given the key to that guild even if the merged PK took all its members but me and my then fledgling protege Trixi. It had great chemistry, brilliant members, a real laze fair political system. Bastically anything went and people were encouraged to start their own operations. We innovated a lot of group tactics that alas are almost gone from the game now. Best of all we operated with almost no pre made politcal treaties or NAG's, so trully pirate heaven. Of course the results of that Zom B guild are legendary--basically we took on everyone at once and won easily. We won the war--but alas, lost the peace.

7) Most Important Question of all - Do you like Avonmora Daily News/Interviews?

Sure, you've put a lot of work into it and it could grow into something fun

Well thats what matter's otherwise you would be out on ya ears! 

8) Please - In our previous Interviews, we have discussed old nations and what not ~ Can you think of any nation that has fell whilst you were here? Or a nation that could of been great which fell?

I was paid once to dismantle a nation...it might be around, but its not a player.

I think I might be able to guess which Nation : But not going to say it..

9) Name a time when you felt most " Upset " in the game about something perhaps the England War? 

I get too upset by a lot of things in this game. Ticktock drove me nuts, Sandoval drove me nuts, Maj still drives me nuts. I guess its a good game if it gets one to care so much. You and Danik drive me nuts too

Thats what matters! Thanks for sharing haha, sorry to hear you have players you dislike though...

10) Have you ever spent money on the game? If so, what is your opinion on people that buy credits quiet often?

I've spent $40 total on the game. The first $20 was to support the developer, the second was for revenge. I'm happy with the first choice but not the second.

Nice to see you have supported the game : All donations are good , not a lot compared to what some have paid, but certainly... A fair amount.

11) By looking at your Battle score : You are quiet victorious to all those pirates out there, looking for advice : What advice can you give them?

I've been flirting with catching Rolando at the top wins spot, I got up to second at one point. Oh and listen PR, I'm a terrible speller too, but if you are going to use "quite" as much as you do you might be more "quiet" about it.

Sounds, a bit weird : I know what you mean though ; Aye Cappy rehashing Jokes since 2012  

12) Was there anybody that taught you stuff in the game? Such as how to cast properly on players? Or did you learn all the stuff by yourself?

It is hard to learn the magic of voodoo raids at first. No one really shares that stuff. In my endless long meandering brag posts, there are some hints. SSR showed me how, specifically how, to do a HN raid. I try to share the favor.

13) Are there any players that you miss : Since being inactive? ( As in is there a player that could of been great : But life got in the way )

Edward Teach maybe dtt, its a shame when anyone goes to be honest, For the most part...

I could of swore Edward came back a while ago, but eh... Nice to hear your opinion.
14) Have you ever seen a pirate owning a port? Ever so when?

Pirates had St Martins when I started PG. I still think of it as a "pirate" port

15) Can giants be taken down? If so, what would be your advice to people that want to try it?

Anyone can be taken down in this game. The advice would depend on the giant and who was taking him or her down

A very moddest opinion : And alright advice I guess...

16) You are seen as a great pirate : Players compete for Man of war count/Ship of the line count : How many mows/sotls have you managed to grab in total?

I used to be behind the scenes organzing mass MOW/SOTL stealing operations. At one point we basically had all the active MOW in the game. Many were lost back however so its hard to really brag but lets say over 50. I'm probably the only person to steal a ship from ADMIN and live to tell the tale...

17)When you first started your forum war ( Aye Cappy vs World ) did you ever think it would be this much of a success? Like 22,000 views?

I did not think my forum war would have quite the life its had. For a while it was the go to source for Avonmora news. When I went less active, it was nice that the Avonmora Daily was there to pick up the slack. Just to prove I'm an avid reader, Morgan mentioned "armed merchant fleets" in his interview with you. You should do a follow up on just that subject, he is a great master of various armed merch configurations and seems to be constantly tinkering with them. Others have totally abandoned the practice. Would be interesting reading!

[Grogggy]

You know I haven't even read War and Peace above me here, I'm sure I'll get to it on the John later.

Lona lena...can't scroll back to look...Danik and Roberts might be highly involved and influencial at this moment (I say as a hypothetical) the problem comes when they claim some kind of status beyond these times.

They both are relative noobs as PG goes, you can tell mostly cause they can't tell:)

But thanks for the input, whoever is stirring the pot around here, the forum seems even more active than back in the day--WHICH IS GOOD ThiNG.

The guy who said I said PR was vain, I think I said he ran a good, non PR centered paper. Just think that if you don't like his schtick of late, this is a better place to discuss it, you know, so as to not give him attention.

[Grogggy]

My vanity has already expanded to fill my known universe so no danger of doing more damage:)

[Grogggy]

Ha so vain, I didn't know the post was about me...

I feel a song coming on, you can hear it old school w carly simon or new school w faster pussycat cover.

Your so Vain
by Carly Simon

You walked into the party
Like you were walking on a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf, it was apricot
You had one eye on the mirror
And watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain,
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?

Oh, you had me several years ago
When I was still naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, you're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?

Well I hear you went to Saratoga
And your horse, naturally, won
Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend,
Wife of a close friend, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, you're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?

[Grogggy]

And Roberts...great interview:)

Captain Jack
By Billy Joel

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of living in your one horse town
you'd like to find a little hole in the ground
For awhile

So you go to the village in your tie dyed jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'

Oh yeah

Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
You just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon, but you just can't wait
For that call

So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes
and you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Ah but still your fingers gonna pick your nose
After all, ..

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'

So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah, there ain't no place to go anyway
What for?

So you got everything, ah, but nothing's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore.

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'

So you play your albums, and you smoke your pot
and you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh but still you're aching for the things you haven't got
What went wrong?

And if you can't understand why your world is so dead,
why you've got to keep in style and feed your head
Well you're 21 and still your mother makes your bed,
And that's too long

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'

Their are CELEBRITIES amongst us!!!

We have it on good authority that a major international celebrity is actually a well known PG account.

Watch this space...
