Start a game of Capture the Flag for Pirates. (NO shooting needed. Please DO NOT to shoot.)
You will be playing three rounds, playing 2 games, so that everybody wins!

1st Game:
1st Round: Make sure both teams get the flag, but only one team goes to home. (ex: Both teams get flag, but Port Royal brings the flag home.)
2nd Round: Vice versa. (Rotate turns.)
3rd Round: Repeat the 1st Round.

That is one game, and you must play two games to make it equal.

2nd Game:
1st Round: Make sure both teams get the flag, but only one team goes to home. (ex: Both teams get flag, but now Pirates brings the flag home.)
2nd Round: Vice versa. (Rotate turns.)
3rd Round: Repeat the 1st Round

Everyone should have won an equal amount of credits and everyone should be happy! Repeat this session as many times as you'd like, and enjoy a game of Pirates!

I have played a few games like this with winnie and they were pretty fun although I was lost the first time :)

:xmastree:
shooting
i played like that with my friends, but i would shoot. just dont shoot the people with the flag. the people who sit around waiting, though, should position themselves side by side so that when somebody says Go, they both fire at each other and die, and you get more credits. =]

I've done this before, it's nice and easy. It's good your posting this, so now when I do this people don't start screaming at me and my friend's saying "Why did you do that!?" ;).

Well... this will not always go to plan: so it's sometimes a good idea to knock the flag out of the other teams possesion. Ex: Both teams get the flag, you cross your paths, but port royals hits the pirate with one cannon. This way the pirates will then have to go back for it, and royals will win
You've given a good explanation there but will only work if you're playing with friends and the know for sure what they're doing. I wouldn't want to do that. I'm not someone for losing ;) Haha.
Shooting also gets you more credits, so along your lines... the other too ships "that aren't getting the flag" will be sat bored? So they can kill each other? :D (Get even more credits :))

I like playing with friends this way. Credits and I get to "play" even though I'm doing homework. lol

I prefer some good, healthy competition. Who likes throwing games?

Who wants to do this at VMK opening? Meet me in Pirates lobby... North-West at 10:30 EST (half hour after VMK opens)

Meet in top left corner with a secret word of otoh dizzyly (according to the wiki we can say that, but I'm not positive how recent that is)
If we can't say one or the other just say what you can. If we can't say either then just keep yelling at me that you know my plan.

Also, if we have extra people then they can shoot each other, just not the flag-bearer.

EDIT: Neoteny posted at 8:08 and I posted at 9:09 Hehe that's kinda funny.

Agreed. Don't quite understand why we can't just have a good ol' game of pirates.. I'm feeling ponderous this morning, so I'll play with you, Bet.
I think we're still friends, so I'll just follow you.

OK.. thanks :)

Because it is hard to enjoy it when you positively stink at shooting moving targets (even slow-moving pirate ships!)

Omg! I'm terrible at pirates! Terrible at Haunted Mansion. Good in Fireworks, but the game is too long and boring. Jungle Cruise, I rock at, but I don't get any credits!
But in Team Pirate Eggs, we always end up using the Black Pearl (the fastest ship), and that was what encouraged us to make up a team, because we saw how fast the ship was going, and SpaceGalaxy was going "Whoosh!" each time it moved. Don't want to get too off-topic, but I guess it relates..

I'll second the fact that Thenshall is terrible at pirates - (JOKE) - but I would have him on my team anytime going after friends for real - not throwing games - where's the fun in that?

Aww, thanks, Mystery. Don't worry, I know I stink, you don't have to hide it from me ;)
