Trivia
Pinoi is a viral infection native to southern France and select parts of eastern Spain. It is characterized by swelling of the nasal passages and a flaming red buttocks. Pinoi is considered to be a terminal condition. Once you get Pinoi you have it for life. There is no cure. Repressive treatment for Pinoi involves pills, salves and several hours a day of YPP therapy involving various puzzles including, but not limited to, carpentry, bilging, rigging, and sails.
Pinoi has a part-time job as a topless dancer as evidenced by his lack of clothing in his portraits.
April 2010 has been declared Pick on Pinoi Month by an independent panel of people named Connell. All crew-mates and hearties are encouraged to add (don't delete anyone else's contribution) their own anecdotes about their beloved prince and friend.
Scandal!!
In April of 2010 Pinoi was linked to several grizzly in-game murders (the portrait at the right of this page was of him gloating over his last victim). Due to the authorities' desire to avoid negative publicity, Pinoi was slathered in jam and forced to run around Admiral Island reciting off-metre poetry. Fortunately for the fiendish reprobate, his loyal friend and confidante discovered the cover-up and opted to blackmail both conspirators and Pinoi, thus ending the torture and placing Pinoi firmly under his friend's influence.
Title Change
Also in April 2010, Pinoi was extremely pleased to secure the support of another flag for the Spaniel Blockade. He immediately insisted that his title be changed to politician, which it was.
