Tailor help
bought a bunch of items from the tailor. But later when i came back my orders were not under pending orders. Does that mean i spended my money but won't get my clothes. Philrock

Did you check if you got it without going to the shop?

Lpmike: " Are you sure you're in the right shop?"

what does this mean?
my client is out of date I need to quit and restart?

The game will automatically quit, restart, and download the latest patch for the latest release. Nothing you need to do, just sit back and wait for a few minutes. --Pip(t 03:58, 2 April 2006 (PDT)

Two pirates and one account
I have one account and two pirates. one pirate is mine the other is my husbands. we just bought a second computer and want to play at the same time but we both cant login at the same time. Is there a way to move one of the pirates to a separate account without losing the ratings/ranks? so we keep our standings and play together. --TheIceMaiden 10:52, 2 April 2006 (PDT)


 * Petition an OM for assistance in game to separate your pirates (Ye, Help, Petition). Please note that you will have to take out two subscriptions (if you are on a subscription ocean {Midnight, Cobalt}), and that your doubloons will not be shared (if you are on a doubloon ocean {Viridian, Sage}). --Nickster v (t/c) 10:56, 2 April 2006 (PDT)

suspendsion help
I want to know if i can please be unsuspened i know what i did was wrong (swearing at another person) but she was also swearing at me because i didn't want to be her hearty. so can you please let me be unsuspened?
 * If you've just been suspended (which is temporary, I believe), you should just wait out your suspension time. When it's over, type the message that the client tells you to type, making sure to double-space after each period. If it's a permanent ban, then you can send an e-mail to banpleading@puzzlepirates.com to plead your case. In either case, you should take a look at this thread or the Ban article for information.--Zyborg22 19:01, 21 April 2006 (PDT)

 * Hi, give this a careful read-through: http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=18041


 * That link tells you what to do if you've been banned. --Zava 14:40, 4 April 2006 (PDT)

I have been banned.. Please let me play again. I left my account running and my friend took it and began to swear. I would never do this because I do not wish to be banned and enjoy the game very much. My account is Rmatricks. Please allow me to play again.

help again
i didnt buy it froma a ship i havnt got a ship and there isnt a cancle button
 * You need to find someone you trust, have them move a ship to the location, and have them cancel the order for you (you'll ultimately have to give them the ticket). Or have someone -make sure you trust this person- with a stall or shop on the island cancel it for you. --Emufarmers 22:11, 8 April 2006 (PDT)

News
I would like to know how i can change the color of the news in my house.

Simply type, replacing "blue" with the colour you want. Then type after your text. --Nickster v (t/c) 01:44, 10 April 2006 (PDT)

 * This isnt the place - take a look at this thread for directions on how to plead a ban. --Zava 20:32, 12 April 2006 (PDT)

I was not warned
before i was banned i was not warned for doing anything wrong instead i just straight up got banned No Warning now in the policies and guidelines it says that on any offense the user gets warned i didnt get warned, so why did i just up and got banned.

thank you

Neal


 * While warning may be given for inappropriate actions, Three Rings is under no obligation to issue any sort of warning before terminating your account, either temporarily, or permanently. That said, you may appeal your ban through a set procedure: Read the information here. (That's basicly a stock answer, and roughly the same one you're likely to get if you ask anyone else about the ban, except through contacting the email address given in the link.) Speaking frankly, you shouldn't go around doing "bad" things and expect to "just get warned."  I don't know your circumstances, though, so I'll simply wish you good luck in your appeal, and suggest you not perform objectionable behaviors in the future. :) --Emufarmers 20:29, 19 April 2006 (PDT)

how do you earn money

 * Ahoy there! The Puzzle Pirates economy be lubricated with Pieces of Eight, and yer main source fer those is through performin' yer piratey duties!  In vernacular English, that means you get money by doing the game's puzzles.  The two most common ways are probably either by doing a mission with the navy, or by jobbing with a crew.  For navy missions, go to the notice board and click on the "Missions" tab, and to job for a pillage, click on the "Pillaging" tab. You can click on any of the links in my reply here for more information on various topics.  Fair winds! --Emufarmers 23:11, 19 April 2006 (PDT)

Whats a PDT?

I started a crew but i don't know how to get it past the rank of Rumoured.
I started a crew but i don't know how to get it past the rank of Rumoured. Can you please tell me how to get past rumoured?


 * Take a look at the fame article. And PDT is a time zone - it's the same as Pirate time when you type /info in the game. --Zava 16:35, 20 April 2006 (PDT)

Help a Merged Crew
I was a captian, i merged a crew under the circumstances that i would be a captian, now the captian of crew i merged to is saying its denying him. Will i ever be a captian again?

zzz
I am seeing the sleep sign (zzz) over some pirates heads. How can i make my pirate sleep?
 * That happens automactically when you don't type or move your mouse over the game for ~3 minute It's just a way to show that a player is idle. If a pirate is idle for 10 minutes, then they will automatically be logged off. --Zava 07:41, 23 April 2006 (PDT)

Screenshot
Is there some sort of way to get a screenshot in the game?
 * Use the "Print Scrn" button and then paste onto MS Paint. Or use a screenshot utility of some sort.  There's no built-in screenshot-taking capability, if that's what you're asking. --Emufarmers 12:23, 30 April 2006 (PDT)
