Changing names of a boat
Hi im wondering how to change a name of a boat(sloop). Does it cost anything?


 * Check out shanghai for all the details on how to rename a ship.  14:13, 4 December 2005 (PST)


 * It costs shanghais to rename a boat. A sloop costs anything from one to four shanghais for a rename. See the shanghai page for the full details. Shanghais are received by a crew when a non subscriber on a subscription ocean (Midnight or Cobalt) subscribes (but not by entering a box edition code), or when a player on a doubloon ocean (Viridian or Sage) pay for doubloons (i.e. with real money, not exchanged for pieces of eight at the doubloon exchange)--Nickster (t/c) 14:16, 4 December 2005 (PST)

TRADE SCAMMER!!
Hi, I went to trade a brown bandana for a blue bandana with Vuurwillie, and he took my brown one, but didn't give me his blue one. What can I do???? Smileymanca


 * Not a lot. You shouldn't click on the "Ready" button until both items are in the trade box. If someone tells you that they will give you an item after you have clicked ready, you should not believe them, and reject the trade. --Nickster (t/c) 11:43, 7 December 2005 (PST)

saving my pirate
How do I save my pirate so that I don't have to create a new one everytime I open the up the game?
 * Your pirate is automatically saved for you. :) Make sure you're logging on to the same ocean and using the same account as you were when you created your pirate. -- Zava 11:31, 6 December 2005 (PST)

Crew Rename
Ahoy!

The crew I'm in has changed it's name from "The Myrmidons" to "Motley Crue" on Sage Ocean. To avoid from placing any double entries, how can the original page of "The Myrmidons" be changed to reflect the change in name?

Thanks in Advance.


 * It's a bit complicated due to the other crews, so I took care of it for you. There's a new page for Motley Crue.  The disambiguation page for Myrmidons has been updated to reflect the change as well.  --Barrister 10:36, 7 December 2005 (PST)

My Account, Robbinhood
My Account name MrRobbinhood is banned for 24 hours for "cursing". I said "hell" to another player on the game because he was harrassing me. I've seen the F-word thrown around a ton, at the Inns and whats more, I complain about these people and nothing ever happends to them. So why am I punished? I complained about the other player. He was harrasing me because I would not Sea Battle him again. This is not right. This is a fun game where you can make friends and all but when the justice system is not doing what it needs to be doing fairly, it takes all the fun out of it. I was playing then I was told that the network was messed up or something, so I go to log back in and it said I am suspended for 1 day and I will have to agree not to curse again. I tried to agree but it would not let me, I guese because it hasn't been one day. The OM Eurydice did this. This is not fair and if I'm the only person I've seen out of the 50 people that I've complained about for spam and harrasment, nothing has happened. Please do something about this, I don't want my gaming to be affected because I complained about another player. The Account is MrRobbinhood the name on the account is Robbinhood. Thank You.


 * 24 hours is a short ban&mdash;your best bet is to stop being argumentative and wait out the period. For more info on what you can do as a banned player, check out this thread on the forums.

SUSPENTION
I have been suspendid and i have been suspendid for 8 hours and i have been suspendid longer then that and i want to kow how to get back from suspention. --Skycaptin 15:52, 20 December 2005 (PST)


 * I'm afraid you'll have to wait out those eight hours until your suspension expires. After that, you will have to type in a statement promising not to repeat your actions that led to your temporary ban. The "accept" button will not be activated until your suspension is over. --Nickster (t/c) 15:57, 20 December 2005 (PST)

What is a talk account

 * You don't need to use your talk account. The only time when it's used is when someone leaves a message for you. As I stated in the answer above, you can click the "my talk" button to access your talk page.


 * I hope this answers your question.--Nickster (t/c) 16:09, 20 December 2005 (PST)

 * As for your actual question, you can put your comments on other users' talk pages by clicking the edit button that's on the talk page. Make sure to sign your comments by putting --~ at the end of them.


 * If this question is a joke, like the last sentence of your question leads me to believe, the Help Desk is no place for joke questions.--Zyborg22 17:09, 20 December 2005 (PST)

Lil picture prob...
I seem to be having a bit of a problem with my application, I sign in, and some of the links have gone. Also I can't play any of the games because I can't see anything but dots...I was wondering if you have any Idea with maybe causing this..


 * This looks like it might be a technical issue with the game. I don't know anything about it, but you might get a response by posting a clear and informative description to your problem in the Technical Issues forums. Make sure to use the search function first, since someone else might have had your problem before.--Zyborg22 17:09, 20 December 2005 (PST)

Starting a crew
If ye have all narrow or above, How do u start a crew?


 * Anyone with Narrow experience in all of the piracy puzzles and sea battle, and the deed to a ship can make themselves a crew. On subscription oceans, you will need to be a subscriber before starting a crew. On doubloon oceans, you will need a Captain's badge as well as ten doubloons in order to create a crew. The "Create a Crew" button will appear in the Crew tab of any crewless pirate who meets the requirements for captaincy.  15:51, 23 December 2005 (PST)

Sispention
I had been suspended for 1 daycan you unsuspend me please??


 * Wait out your suspension and then you can log back in. A suspension of only one day is very short. --Nickster (t/c) 09:50, 26 December 2005 (PST)

Headlines
One the game it doesn't show the crew boty tabs or like when u click on some on it doent show the tell or trade tabs i already tried deleting the game complaetly then downlaoding it againg but it didnt work so whjat do i do?


 * I'd suggest posting a screenshot of your problem in the Technical Issues forum.  21:35, 28 December 2005 (PST)

huh?
i didnt understand our big word plz simplify
 * A "screenshot" is a picture of what's on your screen. On a PC, to the right (usually) of the F1-12 keys, there's a button labeled "Print Screen."  Press that, then go to Paint or another image editing program, and push Control-v.  Save that, host it somewhere like photobucket.com, and then follow the link in the previous post.  Hope this helps! --Gloraelin 22:09, 28 December 2005 (PST)

Posting
how do i post? (refering to your awnser)


 * Go to the Technical Issues forum. Click "Post New Thread" on the right hand side. Type your question with your screenshot. --Nickster (t/c) 07:26, 29 December 2005 (PST)

Yelloe pink and blue and white
i see plink named pirates and white named pirates and even blue but how do you get your name to be like that and what do they mean?


 * See Name color--Nickster (t/c) 07:24, 29 December 2005 (PST)

Socialization
I was wondering if the subscribers or players have an area for real life profiles, maybe a picture and a community for the characters to interact socially, and can wisper to each other so others dont hear. The taverns would be cool place to chat and hang but it seems to be only a place to bet and play different games. if there is currently not anything like this would there possibly be one in the future? I like the puzzles but would like more socialization (kinda like pogo but better, since it would be here :) ) --16:22, 29 December 2005 (PST)


 * This sounds like a proposition that belongs in the Game Design forum.  16:56, 29 December 2005 (PST)
