Dale

Dale is a pirate on the Viridian Ocean. At the present time he is a fleet officer in the crew Sea Dogs of Destruction and is lord of the flag Rabidus Canis, but is most noted for his time in Unboochable.

History

 * Dale joined the game Puzzle Pirates in July 2005. He found it by accident when surfing through online game websites.
 * After training for a short time in the navy, Dale jobbed and joined the crew Squid Squad as a cabin person.
 * This was an early time, and Dale did not understand the game much at this point, so he hopped through crews at a quick rate, going through Sea Dogs of Destruction (SDOD),, and Gaia, just to name a few, not spending much time on the game for the first 2 years.
 * Dale spent about 6 months in the Unbreakable Metal Fleet before around late 2007 he moved to a crew called Revelations (Rev's).
 * Revelations (now Induced Delerium) was the first place where Dale settled, he was taught a great amount by Wasps and Aarachel, and learned from Shadymermady, Cookiett and rose through the ranks with his friend Jcmar.
 * Dale remained in Revelations until mid 2008, when he left in search of pastures new. Dale never forgot Rev's though, and still keeps in contact with his old friends there.
 * After some crew hopping, including a return to the UMF, and a short hiatus from the game, Dale joined his long-time in game friend's Aeria at her crew Chaos Armada around the start of 2009.
 * Dale worked under the leadership of Jamsterdude here, and moved with Jamsterdude to his new crew Unboochable. Dale quickly gained the trust of Jamsterdude, and so was made senior officer for the first time in mid 2009. Unboochable was part of the flag Rabidus Canis, and worked closely with the other large crew in that flag - SDOD.
 * Around October 2009, Jamsterdude's First mate Rtea left for SDOD, and Dale (to his surprise) was appointed first mate in Unboochable.
 * Near the end of 2009 too, Dale was made Lord in the flag Rabidus Canis, due to his involvement in helping his King Jimmydids in the venture of securing an island for the flag.
 * Unboochable was going through difficulty in early 2010; dwindling amounts of members and no aspiring officers left just Jamsterdude and his SOs, and due to high doubloon prices, Jamsterdude was enjoying the game less and less, and so was logging on to the game less and less.
 * By March 2010, Jamsterdude had effectively left the game completely, and due partly to this, and partly to revision for exams, Dale too left Puzzle Pirates.
 * Dale returned to the game again in June 2010, but this only lasted a couple of logins over a couple of days as Unboochable had completely fallen apart, and Dale no longer found the game entertaining.
 * Following this, Dale entered a 6 month hiatus from the game, and doubted that he would ever return.
 * However, to the surprise of many people (including Dale himself), Dale returned to the game on the 29/12/10.
 * Dale returned to find that Unboochable had been merged into SDOD, and that Jamsterdude had also returned not days before Dale had.
 * Dale is not sure whether this return will be short lived or not, but is enjoying the game more than he has done in a long time.
 * On his first login, Dale was promoted to fleet officer in SDOD, thanks to Captinsav (SDOD's captain) who remembered and trusted him from his time at Unboochable.
