Competition Announced - November 12th, 2009[]
Do you have a yearning to defeat lots and lots of those undead boneheads? If so, now's the time. Why? Thinning out Jolly's ranks is one way to slow the invasions and weaken his hold in the Caribbean. So why not make a sport of it?
Help even the odds during the next invasion - defeat as many skeletons as you can!
Much like our popular Strongest Guild Competition, every Pirate must try to defeat as many undead skeletons as they can! It's fun but also, you'll be doing all the Pirates of the Caribbean a service by evening the odds in the next invasion. If you experienced the invasions - you know - there's just too many of them storming the beaches! So start planning today - and may the best Pirate win!
What: Slay a Skeleton Competition When: Nov. 12 - Nov.17
The Details: We'll rank the top 30 Pirates. At the end of the competition we will recognize the Pirate who has defeated the most skeletons and he (or she) will have the honor of calling themselves the Skeleton Slayer of the Caribbean!
The winner of the competition and final standings will be announced on Thursday, Nov. 19.
