@uadoom: Nice!  The Pawtucket was involved in my latest game.  Good ships overall, the Paul Revere is one of my favorites.

@Countupyourcoyne: Sounds like a large influx of ships!  One of the things I miss about being mostly complete (at least with stuff from packs) is the thrill of the hunt and opening packs to get stuff I don’t already have.

I suspect this has something to do on my end with cookies and stuff.

It might be, I had to clear some histories yesterday to get logged into the forum page properly.  However, there were a few issues with the site 2 days ago, so there’s a chance it’s a leftover problem from that.  That said, it’s strange that you can post here not there.  Try cl…[Read more]

I’m having a problem with the Custom Ships thread, it keeps logging me out when I click on it. Could be a problem on my end, but heads up.

Are you accessing the thread from the main forum, from the notification in the top right corner, or from an email notification link?

I was just able to post there after going to the latest post from the main f…[Read more]

Gunos Fortress
Type: Fort
Faction Affiliation: Cursed
Rarity: R
Gold Cost: 8 gold
Cannons: 3L-3L-3L-3S-3S
Ability: This fort can only be built on a whirlpool when a Cursed ship is touching the whirlpool. Enemy ships using this whirlpool must pay a toll of 2 gold to this fort (gold may come from the ship or that player’s home island). If this…[Read more]

Huzzah!  I currently seem to be ranking #2 in google for “Pirates CSG” behind only Miniature Trading!  😀

Former Wizkids Communication Manager Jason Mical’s LinkedIn profile says:

Developed and executed a traditional and new media PR campaign for a new game with expected lifetime sales of $400,000; the game became an evergreen product that grossed $3,000,000 per year.

Can’t help but wonder if that’s about Pirates…. O_O  Certainly interesting to do…[Read more]

repository has some interesting potential, I’d have to look at all the crew with ‘Fiend’ in their name, though I think some might not function efficiently in a fort.

I did take a peek after posting it, and the combos were little more disappointing than I expected.  XD  Even the ones that had applicable abilities would probably be better on ships,…[Read more]

Does the Miniaturetrading site not accept new users? I have tried creating an account and the captcha never matches and I have not been able to create an account in the last three days…

I would assume they are still accepting new users, but who knows given how weird the site has been.

Anyone know a way to contact them about this?

As far as I k…[Read more]

@uadoom: Wow, other than the Ghost Walker and the helmsmen, that’s kind of a rough pack for play purposes.  I find it sad that there can be duplicates (let alone double!) inside of the same mega pack….

oooh, some wonderfully nasty Cursed.

Indeed, I’m on a roll and will just continue with them!  They have 272 total game pieces, so more than 1/4 of the set.

Wormking’s ability seems very specific, I’d much rather see a broader bonus to sea monsters crew.

I actually almost raised him to 8 since it could be problematic that there’s no limit to how…[Read more]

Its down yet again. I pity the people doing trades with this crap going on, it must be infuriating knowing that your time is running out but you can’t do anything about it.

I was trying to set one up but at this point I’m glad we didn’t get one started.  Someone on FB messaged me about an issue due to the site’s weirdness.

Huzzah!!  I finally made another change to the site, one I had been wanting to do for a while.  On most of the sidebars (including the home page) you can now see a “Best Posts” widget/menu with 10 featured posts!  😀  (I like the uniqueness/relevancy of the forum sidebar, and don’t really want to add more to it in case it might slow things dow…[Read more]
