Player Skellies

I distinctly remember seeing player skellies on the Halloween of 2004, and Grimes told me he was turned into one that year. Therefore, I reverted the last edit to say this.--Zyborg22 06:54, 29 September 2005 (PDT)

It only happened once--last year, we got masks, but weren't turned into skellies or zombies. Since they're trying to different things each year, I doubt it will happen again. --Eurydice 07:30, 29 September 2005 (PDT)

Eury, we did turn into skellies and zombies, just not for very long. Se this post in the Greenie Playground.--Fiddler 07:53, 29 September 2005 (PDT)

Whoops. Guess I was on at the wrong hours, as I never saw anybody turned into skellies. Also, perhaps it should be noted that it's possible for players to be turned into skellies or zombies? Somebody posted a screenshot on the ViridianOcean forums of Cleaver as a zombie on Viridian (which has not seen a Halloween yet). --Thunderbird 11:39, 29 September 2005 (PDT)

Does this mean I can changed it to say that it happened every year?--Zyborg22 13:54, 30 September 2005 (PDT)

Player Skellie Hunters Lists

A forum post reminded me that there's another potentially good use of the wiki - the who loves to fight skellies on each ocean list. --Guppymomma 18:41, 29 September 2005 (PDT)

Base payout?

Isn't the base payout 800 PoE, instead of 1000? I'm not 100% sure, so I didn't change it, but I'm 99.9% sure. --Emerson 8 Mar 2006

The base payout is 1000. I am 100% sure.

However, at least on Hunter, the base payout still includes a single piece of (apparently) randomly-generated clothing. Chat log evidence follows - this was the first attempt (note the 1100 payouts), but one person got an extra item (rags, female, tan).

This is also true on sage but it is not necessarily clothing, it is a randomly generated item. Theemperor 14:32, 29 June 2007 (PDT)

A skellie fray I was in this weekend gave out an Atlantis map, in addition to the random item. If anyone can corroborate, this can be added to the winning section.--Vurogj 01:49, 10 September 2007 (PDT)

Corroboration found, thus added.--Vurogj 02:46, 10 September 2007 (PDT)

Colored Skellies.

Added a line to the gist of: Skellie colors do not denote difficulty. Zava made me do it.

--DuoX 27 Mar 2006

Misconceptions.

Added skellie myths/misconceptions for cross reference purposes. These are taken from the rumors pages.

--DuoX 00:26, 25 April 2006 (PDT)

Skeleton bone bludgeon

Added a note in the winning section linking to the bludgeon page adding that players can win this item from skellies. --Demonyaj 08:19, 12 May 2006 (PDT)

Regenerating

Was looking for how long they took to respawn after being defeated. I found this thread where several seem to agree it is every 6 hours and after a reboot. Supporting evidence welcome. — Callistan ^{(talk/contrib)} 18:58, 22 October 2006 (PDT)

It is still after a reboot, but now the re-appearance time has been randomized. Vorky 12:39, 16 March 2007 (PDT)

Bottom of page?

I was just thinking, should the Other Links section just use the skellie footer like the Skellie Hunters Across <Ocean> pages do, so that it's up to date for all future oceans? And so people like myself don't edit just that and not notice the skellie footer :) --Curlykidd 16:24, 7 November 2006 (PST)

Mission requirements

I got my alt to Narrow/Grand-Master but did not get the skellie mission. Could the requirement be Broad/Renowned? - Nysv March 12 2007

Are you certain that there were skellies out at the time? The mission only appears when they are. -- Thefirstdude ^(t/c) 14:47, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

And that you had at least 100 poe on your pirate? -- Cedarwings ^(t/c) 15:05, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

And also an item which the skellies could take? -- Vorky 16:08, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

If you had all of the above, the skellie mission appears in other missions and not the main missions. You may have over-looked it. --Theemperor 14:55, 1 July 2007 (PDT)

Ocean-Wide Renowed Requeriment

If I'm not wrong, the requeriments to get the skellie mission is Narrow/Ocean-Wide Renowed Swordfight, isn't it?

I keep hearing it's full renowned but as ocean-wide is the one that is publicly displayed im guessing that is a possibilty, not sure myself but i have never recieved the mission on ocean wide renowned only. Best to get full to be on the safe side(does anyone have a definate answer?). -wicked4591 29-06-2007

yesterday i sucessfully got the skellies mission with ocean wide renowned and master arch so yes it is--Theemperor 04:17, 8 July 2007 (PDT)

Update Needed regarding Release 2007-10-16

In reference to Release 2007-10-16, would someone mind updating this article to reflect the changes? LiquidXKal 18:36, 16 October 2007 (PDT)

Can anyone explain the winnings (PoE/items) from this fray?

I was only there for one fray (the final one that won), and have no knowledge about how long the skellies were there nor how many frays it lasted. I am unable to figure it out from the resulting log. This fray just ended on Sapling Island, Cobalt, with 25 pirates vs 25 skellies. --Geeky kitty 16:20, 14 January 2008 (PST)

It's what happens when some group desides to start a fray before getting all the people they need to fill it. In that case, probably the first, was started with 11 people. .44 = 1/(25/11) Hence the 44 poe left over instead of a full 100 poe from that round. And usually the succeding rounds are full, so they get the full 100 poe per pirate wager. So in this case, there were 11 rounds, and chances are, the first one, most of them voted as they entered (till there was a greater than 1/2 ratio of yea to nay) or they all waited too long and got gutsy enough to try and take them on underhanded. Klostro 21:49, 25 February 2008 (PST)

This looks like it was won in only 1 round. And no I do not think there was a round that included 11 people or any number of people in it. Occasionally the winnings from a skellie fray can be more then the 1000 poe plus 100 poe per round. It usually occurs when the winning fray is the 1st or 2nd round though. There are many theories why this happens. I once was part of a winning fray against 3 skellies in the first round that produced about 30 items and 18k for each of us. It's rare but it happens. -- Cedarwings ^(talk) 08:11, 26 February 2008 (PST)

This post from Cephalopod should explain it all. --Fiddler 08:15, 26 February 2008 (PST)

Thanks for pointing me to that thread. I missed it on the forums initially. --Geeky kitty 19:02, 14 March 2008 (PDT)
