Ahoy everyone!
Damien here. The Crossbone Crew has decided that we wanted to try something new…a blogpost series! The Clever Corsairs!
What's the Clever Corsairs? Why, it's a new blog post series aimed to test yer eyes, yer wits, and yer resourcefulness. Not everything about being a pirate is swinging a sword and shooting a pistol, you know?
The concept is relatively simple. On the first of every month, we will unveil a new set of trivia questions, riddles, or even a scavenger hunt right here at tlopo.com/news. Of course, we won't be limited to those three games; we may come up with more challenges as we do this series!
Once the set is unveiled, it will be up to YOU to find the answers. You'll provide your answers in the comments section of the respective post. We won't approve any comments for public viewing until a week has transpired to give you all ample time to find the answers. We don't want someone's hunt spoiled, now do we?
Once it's been a week since the time of posting, we will approve all of the submissions. In a separate post, we will announce the person who submitted all of the correct answers first. Additionally, we will keep a tally going to track our most Clever Corsairs for recognition at the end of the year!
Okay, now for the full list of rules… some of this I already explained, but you know, pirates sometimes need to be reminded about the rules. It's why we have a Pirate Code, after all!
Okay, the rules:
-All answers must be submitted in the COMMENTS SECTION of the respective post.
-Submissions must be numbered and submitted in the following way:
1. Speedy Lou, 2. Fish, 3. Crab, 4. Compass, 5. Bilgewater, 6. Speedy Lou, 7. Cutlass, 8. Kingshead, 9. Jolly Roger, 10. Staff
-Each numbered answer must match its numbered question, we can't read minds!
-Only one submission per person, we will know if you are using multiple accounts for a submission!
-Submissions must only contain the answers to be considered. No bug reports/suggestions here!
-If a submission doesn't follow the listed rules, it will be disregarded.
-Reread your post to ensure you're happy with it before submitting!
Oh, one friendly tip… in our comments section, you can choose which pirate name you're commenting with. Before posting, double check you're posting under the pirate name you wish to be commenting as!
Here is the first edition of Clever Corsairs:
METHOD: Pirate Trivia
1. How many NPCs (non-player characters) are in Shylock's Pawnshop on Tortuga?
2. What is the name of the Peddler on Cuba?
3. Which island did Giladoga formerly call home?
4. General Sandspine was formerly which enemy type?
5. At which fishing level can a pirate rent a Fishing Boat?
6. Which island has enemy creatures that are living (not undead), despite being under Jolly Roger's influence?
7. From one of the tavern musician songs: catching which fish wouldn't do us any harm?
8. What was the only enemy that players were able to fight towards the end of TLOPO's Alpha stage?
9. What was the first brand-new game area added to TLOPO?
10. What ship class does El Patron's ship belong to?
Good luck mates, we can't wait to see what you come up with! Keep an eye out next week for the Clever Corsair to be announced.
Keep yer wits sharp,
-Damien
