The player base of Puzzle Pirates has formed a highly social community. This runs the gamut from social interactions in-game, on the forums, and in real-life parties to creating things to share with fellow players. As a result of this social atmosphere, there have actually been a number of real-life couples who first met in game and went on to get married in real-life.

The first couple to add their story to the YPPedia real-life couples page was Nylons and Mlik, whose tale crossed geographical boundaries from Canada to Singapore:

On a bright and sunny day in May 2004, Nylons, a cute little pirate, was feeling bored and decided to apply for a random job on the notice board. Mlik jobbed her aboard his sloop, the Believable Salmon, and she was the only jobber on board. She was busy clearing the bilge at the deck below. The ship was grappled by a wicked brigand and a melee broke out. There were 2 other swabbies on board. Needless to say, Mlik's ship won a vicious battle and after the battle, Mlik shouted, "Good job guys!" Nylons replied, "But... but... I'm the only human onboard! You should say "Good job Nylons!"

They didn't realize that this was just the start of their little romance.[...]

They were finally married in real life on December 31, 2005.

Even the Ocean Masters are not immune, Hypnos and Hermes met in game and were married last spring.

If you don't happen to be married yet, but wish to sicken others with your blissful state, you can share your stories of puzzle piratey romance that set sail into real-life in the forum thread.
