Yer First Steps

I added the three mission board thing that comes up first. I also added the ability to change clothes colour/style which wasnt previously on it. I cant find a more recent screenshot of the pirate customisation board at the start, so can someone please update that picture underneath the pirate creation paragraph. --Lukefitz 22:33, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Crafting puzzles

I rolled back Elikabeth's change because I've verified that playing the puzzle directly *will* get you paid -- no matter your status. What you can't do (without either a labor badge or subscribing) is take a job at a shoppe. --Barrister 10:56, 11 August 2005 (PDT)

Mini-map and movement

Since I hear this question a lot in chat circles with greenies, I was wondering where should the mini-map and how to use the mini-map should go in here. I believe that it would be quite useful to have in here.Rappak 10:37, August 29, 2005 (PDT)

I'm thinking rewriting some of the Walking Around information would be good in between "Rescued by the Pollywog" and "The Notice Board." – Yaten ^talk 14:05, 29 August 2005 (PDT)

I'm confused. Are you thinking about rewriting some of it and then putting it in the wiki or suggesting that they rewrite that doc? Rappak 07:53, August 30, 2005 (PDT)

I was thinking about rewriting the information in that documentation and putting it in the wiki. – Yaten ^talk 13:41, 30 August 2005 (PDT)

Talking like a pirate

Moved this section to its own page.
Pirate language -User:Nikells

Added "Talking like a pirate" section. I've tried to edit it the best I can to keep the size down however the blockquotes take up an awful lot of space.

Additions to the Pirate Thesaurus to follow from myself aswell as (hopefully) others. - User:Nikells 13:38, 04 September 2005

Looks like a good start. This may even warrant its own page...check out http://www.puzzlepirates.com/docs/vocabulary.html for a few more terms. – Yaten ^talk 06:44, 4 September 2005 (PDT)

Is there a way to create a new page? I'm a little put off adding many more terms to the section as its a little long already. Also: thanks for the link, didn't see that! - User:Nikells 22:40, 04 September 2005

Pollywog

I was just thinking: Get your own Pollywog is misleading as you cannot own a pollywog, maybe it should be: Get your own ship/vessel/boat. Eh? Smthecool 10:32, 17 November 2005 (PST)

• Maybe it should. So I changed it. What the heck is a pollywog anyways? (Oh right; well in any case "Pollywog" is the name of a ship, not a type of ship, or type of item in the game, and if you said "anybody selling a Pollywog?" you might get some strange looks) --Adramolek 22:01, 1 March 2007 (PST)

Pets

Thoughts on adding a section regarding how to acquire the free rat, or possibly a link to the pets article? --Rixation^(t/c) 06:07, 16 August 2006 (PDT)

Maybe info about the 'Loot yer Home' mission? --Sagacious ^(talk) 06:37, 16 August 2006 (PDT)

There's actually a decent bit of work to be done on this article - there are now three 'primary' missions that are shown before the noticeboard interface when creating a new alt. I forgot to write them down yesterday, but they don't appear to be randomly grabbed from the list - the middle one was always 'loot your home' for me. --AtteSmythe 09:12, 16 August 2006 (PDT)

There's a lot of work that can be done to this. It hasn't had a substantial edit since I first brought it over from the Wikicities site last July; a lot of the paragraphs are still just as I wrote them. Overall, I think the whole thing could be trimmed down a bit too; it's a very long article.--Fiddler 09:16, 16 August 2006 (PDT)

I'd definitely agree that it needs trimming down. I only added a quick update for the three latest "major" additions. Since there are still hundreds of new greenies visiting the game daily, quite a few of which make their way here, I figured it was important to cover those aspects before someone takes the time to rewrite basically the whole article. --Rixation^(t/c) 09:31, 16 August 2006 (PDT)

Out of date stuff

I just created a new account and there are several new screens I'd never seen before. I can't grab screenshots from this box, but here's just a quick, short list of obvious things that need to be added or changed:

• "Create an account" screen (for accounts that aren't created on the puzzlepirates.com site, but rather in the game client).
• New account ocean selection screen (displays two buttons for two random oceans, one sub & one doub).
• New pirate / first login mission selection (get loot for yer home, learn to bilge, learn to swordfight, find friends on the dock).
• Info about free puzzle days?
• Remove extraneous info about item decay, and the entire "Become a blockade navigator" section?

--Rixation^(t/c) 11:08, 23 August 2006 (PDT)

PTG already has some screenshots of some of that stuff at GHT:First steps and GHT:The docks.--Fiddler 11:24, 23 August 2006 (PDT)

Sunshine Widget

Is there a reason that the Sunshine Widget isn't discussed here? If greenies are looking here, there should at least be a short discussion. If no one objects, I'll throw something on here (even if it's just copied from that page, which IMHO probably needs to be duplicated here anyway). Sashamorning 10:57, 8 February 2007 (PST)

I don't think anybody would object... just add it. Well, I guess I'll do it. --Adramolek 22:04, 1 March 2007 (PST)

Would somebody mind adding a picture of the main interface window? I can't for the life of me figure out how to upload images to this thing. I don't understand wikis, and the documentation for uploading images is mysteriously absent (I found something about "interface image" tags that was mostly meaningless to me). Thanks. --Adramolek 22:16, 1 March 2007 (PST)

To upload a picture, go here. If you don't get the tag right at first, don't worry too much - someone who knows will come along later and fix it. -- Thefirstdude ^(t/c) 22:25, 1 March 2007 (PST)

Hey thanks! :) I dunno though, it kind of looks like poo... but I can't think of any better way to lay out the page. --Adramolek 22:58, 1 March 2007 (PST)
