2007 - Rise of a navigator

On Saturday, January 20, 2007 Hawkings aided Panopea in defending the Scurvy Goldfish, a special treasure sloop. Hawkings served aboard as carpenter and aided the crew to four victories out of total of seven engagements. During the time he defended the treasure ship he and his fellow crewmates could be seen as Skellingtons. Hawkings appeared as a moss colored skellie wearing a green and lime musketeer hat.

On January 29, 2007 Hawkings help to fight a group of thirty-six skellies that had descended on Lima Island. For his part in this particular skellie fray he won the skull and femur of Bony Christian. The femur won was Hawkings's first and was moss colored.

Hawkings was given his first opportunity to be a blockade navigator by his good friend Esaidra, queen of Dragon Lords, on February 4, 2007 during Viridis XVIII. In the blockade Hawkings was given command of war frigates and war brigs and assisted in successfully transferring the ownership of the island to Dragon Lords by defeating Subtle Tease who had decided to contest the island.

On February 25, 2007 Hawkings led a crew of mates from Odin's Demise to a second place finish in The Great Scavenger Race on the Viridian Ocean. His crew consisted of Buluayam, Daresbury, Jollylady, Lucciola, Pekisko and Reepacheep.

On April 29, 2007 Hawkings attained another career goal in winning his first Brigand King trinket by helping to defeat a war brig commanded by a Barbarian version of The Widow Queen. During the battle Hawkings was acting as chief sailor for the crew. During the Rumble match following the sea battle Hawkings wielded his blackjack to deadly effect and with his fellow shipmates defeated The Widow Queen and her fifteen swabbies. To secure her freedom Hawkings was ransomed a red jeweled brooch by the beautiful sea goddess.

On May 17, 2007 Hawkings led a crew of six pirates into a battle against a merchant brig crewed by The Widow Queen and twelve of her sultry lady pirates. During the sea battle Hawkings' ship, the Bird of Prey, took a couple of early hits but hung on to end the sea battle with a score of max to 2. The following Swordfight went very much in favor of Hawkings's crew and ended in The Widow Queen being defeated with only Hawkings and one of his swarthy mates going down. The win marked Hawkings's first defeat of a Brigand King while battle navigating. To secure her freedom Hawkings was ransomed a blue bottle of rose goddess perfume.

On a pillage lead by Hawkings on the evening of May 31, 2007 he was awarded the ultimate Battle Navigation trophy. The trophy came at the end of a very successful five battle pillage aboard the sloop, Bird of Prey. The trophy was awarded at the conclusion of the last battle of the pillage against a brigand dhow. The sea battle ended with a score of max - .5 and the Swordfight following was also won, netting the crew over 14,000 pieces of eight. It is also interesting to note that during this historic pillage, Hawkings also led his crew to victory over a merchant brig commanded by Barnabas the Pale, a cutter and two baghlahs.

On June 3, 2007 Hawkings participated in the BK Fruit Frenzy Races on Viridian. With the help of his good friends, Chaosdaddy, Yamiko, Esaidra, Dyrbar and Pekisko he raced a sloop from Erh Island to Dragon's Nest to Cabo de Hornos in 46 minutes winning a tan monkey named Motsognir for his second place finish.

On June 17, 2007 during Prolix X while defending Prolix Purlieu from the forces of Vargas the Mad, Hawkings lost his hand and received a hook in its place. The injury was received during the second round of the blockade when the war brig Hawkings was commanding was sunk.

During the blockade of Pranayama he fought on July 7, 2007, Hawkings aided his friends in Dragon Lords against RiddleMakers, who were defending Pranayama Island as part of the "Choose your own Island" Opening event on the Viridian Ocean. In this very closely contested five round blockade, which saw the first serious blockade use of baghlahs, Hawkings commanded a series of baghlahs and contended crucial buoys that lead to victories in rounds 2 and 3 for Dragon Lords in their loosing effort to take control of the island.

Two weeks later on July 21, 2007 during the blockade of Jubilee I, RiddleMakers, impressed with the use of baghlahs at Pranayama I, called on Hawkings to help with their own baghlah attack squad, known as the "Wolf Pack" by Hawkings' crew, Odin's Demise. The efforts of Hawkings and the other "Wolf Pack" navigators helped ensured victory over Vanguard in three straight rounds and secured the island for colonization by RiddleMakers.

On August 25, 2007 during the blockade of Tigerleaf IV, Hawkings navigated for Imperial Coalition to defend Tigerleaf Mountain from The All-Consuming Flame, the flag of the Brigand King, Azarbad the Great. During the blockade, Hawkings commanded war frigates to contend buoys and sink opposing ships to help secure victory for his friends in Imperial Coalition. The only ship to be sunk under Hawkings's command was the Conceited Mackerel which was seized by the ship puzzle connection bug early in round 1. During round 2, Hawkings commanded the ship Good Rudd and racked up a large number of buoy points while inflicted casualties on Azarbad's fleet. The Good Rudd was one of the first ships to enter Round 3 and was ideally positioned to contend a cluster of 3 buoys totaling six points. Hawkings was able to quickly maneuver and contend for this crucial early cluster, keeping the score close until the rest of Imperial Coalitions fleet entered and took up positions around the board. He also had the distinction of being the navigator that sank the last ship, a war frigate, of The All-Consuming Flame's armada.

On September 9, 2007, Hawkings assisted Viridian Avengers in a losing effort to defend Corona Reef from the forces of the Chthonic Horde during Corona X. During all five rounds of the blockade, Hawkings distinguished himself by contending important buoy clusters and sinking enemy ships. It was during this blockade that Hawkings lost his right eye. The injury was received when one of six ships he was commanding sank and has resulted in Hawkings and Barnabas the Pale becoming bitter enemies.

During the weekend of September 15 - 16, Hawkings lead two attacks on Atlantis. The trips marked his first trips to the lost world as Navigator. Under his command several sea monsters were slain and much treasure was hauled. The trip on the 15th was to the Abandoned Outpost and brought in nearly 400k in the booty and the trip on the 16th to the Harsh Fort brought in over 200k.

On September 23, 2007, Hawkings was called upon again to assist his friends in Imperial Coalition defend against the attack of The All-Consuming Flame, this time at Ansel Island. During rounds one and two of Ansel III, Hawkings commanded a pair of war frigates to guard buoys and sink opposing ships. Hawkings was the first ship into the blockade for round two and despite taking heavy damage getting into position managed to contend and hold an ocean side cluster of buoys while under continuous attack. Hawkings managed to port both ships under his command at the end of their respective rounds without being sunk.

On September 30, 2007 Hawkings won a tan/brown parrot named Gwaihir in the Bakeoff Bonanza, which was a simultaneous Sailing, Carpentry and Bilging bakeoff. Hawkings participated in the Carpentry division and placed eighth during the qualifier round aboard the grand frigate Baking Ballyhoo. The final was held aboard the grand frigate Baking Bonito where Hawkings started his session out with double digit masterpieces and cruised the rest of the way through the final with his hammer never dropping from sparkling.

On October 26, 2007 Hawkings expanded his furnishing business with the purchase of the upgraded furnisher shoppe named Towers of Illium located on Labyrinth Moors.

On Saturday, December 15, 2007, Hawkings was called upon to assist the Pay for Play, Collateral Damage, RiddleMakers Alliance during the triple threat blockades of Jubilee IV, Terra XIV and Prolix XI. Hawkings navigated during all three blockades but is most noted for his performance in the Prolix blockade. During round 3 of Prolix he was given command of a war brig with the orders to enter the blockade board, contest buoys, harass enemy vessels, frustrate opposing navigators and generally occupy Regnum Irae in order to keep them in the Prolix blockade and out of the Terra blockade. Toward the end of the round, after Collateral Damage's supporting war frigate sank, Hawkings was faced with five enemy war frigates and an enemy war brig alone on the board. To the amusement of his allies and friends, Hawkings lead the enemy fleet on a merry chase across the blockade board. The case ranged from the middle of the board, up to the right, island side corner and back across to the center of the ocean side. During the chase he continually stung enemy vessels with shot while taking only minimal damage. The chased concluded when Hawkings entered a wind current that pushed him off the ocean side of the board. During his exit he saluted the opposing fleet by pumping a finally volley of four medium cannonballs into one of the pursuing war frigates.

In December of 2007 Hawkings once again entered every Daily Doodle contest, posting a win, seven honorable mentions, five participatory awards and a Dedicated Doodler award. For his efforts Hawkings received a special sloop renamed Inquisitive Hawkfish, a teddy bear, three candy canes, a winter ornament, a hammer, a golden daisy and a limited edition white tiger named Ketthyndla.

2008 - Ascending to the captaincy

On February 2, 2008, Hawkings was crowned as a prince of the flag of Morrowind and took up the mantle of being involved in ocean politics.

Immediately following the 'Is That A Starfish On Your Face, Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?' release on February 5, 2008, Hawkings lead an Atlantis expedition to the Atlantis location of Rocky Fort aboard the war frigate Upright Needlefish. Under his expert command, the crew safely navigated the treacherous waters sinking five archelons, one gorgonyx and about half a dozen triketos during their two an a half hour voyage. The treasure acquired was a personal best for Hawkings and included just over 414k in total gold and over 400 chests, lockers and treasure boxes. Many rare and wonder items were won by the crew and Hawkings's personal winnings included an atlantean helmet, an atlantean/atlantean crown, an atlantean/atlantean striped shirt and vest, an engraved atlantean band trinket and a broken trident tine trinket.

At Prolix XII, on February 23, 2008, Hawkings was called up by this long time Regnum Irae friend, Macgreggor to defend Prolix Purlieu from the forces of Azarbad the Great and the All-Consuming Flame. During the blockade Hawkings distinguished himself by navigating a series of war frigates to sink ships and control buoys. During rounds two and three he captured and held crucial buoy clusters that lead to Regnum Irae victories in those two rounds. Also in round three, Hawkings was able to engage and finally sink a Cry Havoc war frigate that had been harassing Regnum Irae ships throughout the blockade.

The next day on February 24, 2008, Hawkings was again called into blockade navigation duty, this time on behalf of his friends in Brink of Dawn and their bid for an island at Spectre IX. In this blockade Hawkings was given command of a series of war brigs. During rounds one and two he took control of outlying buoys and expertly defended them scoring and influencing them during crucial points of the blockade when the score remained close. He is particularly noted for not completely giving up a pair of buoys worth four points throughout the length of round two. At several points during this round he had to fight off multiple ships in order to maintain control of the buoys.

On March 15 2008 during Harmattan XIV, Hawkings helped lead his flag, Morrowind, in a losing effort to take control of Harmattan from Antheas. In round 1, the only full round his flag contested, Hawkings used his blockade navigating skills aboard a war frigate to sink ships and score points. He contested and took control of an early outlying cluster, fighting off and sinking an Antheas xebec and managed to safely exit his ship from the board at the end of the round despite running out of both rum and cannonballs. The xebec Hawkings sank is reported to be the first one sunk across all the oceans of Puzzle Pirates. Due to his efforts and the efforts of other allied navigators, round 1 went to flag Morrowind. In round 2 Hawkings was one of the first navigators on the board for Morrowind and kept the score close until it was decided to pull out of the blockade because of the large jobbing disparity in Antheas' favor. The war frigate under Hawkings' command was sunk around the time of the decision to pull out of the blockade.

In April of 2008, Hawkings entered the tailoring business by opening a tailoring stall on Dragon's Nest. His decision to open the stall was largely due to his success in hunting sea monsters in Atlantis from which as a owner/navigator regularly awarded him with large numbers of clothing items.

On May 20, 2008 Hawkings lead a crew on a Sea Monster Hunt to the Atlantis location of Crumbling Hall located two leagues off of Cormorant Island. During the expedition Hawkings expertly guided the vessel Unchanging Chub around the board sinking an elite archelon, an elite gorgonyx, a light archelon, a scout archelon, and more than a dozen triketos. The trip brought in 283k pieces of eight from Treasure Haul alone and Hawkings personally won a broken trident tine, a navy atlantean band, an atlantean/navy cape and an aqua ippolito whom he named Fafnir.

During October of 2008 Hawkings placed 3rd in the Bernie Taupin category of Karaoke Kapers Part Duh with his parody of In The Ghetto titled On The Ocean, winning a blue daisy, a Puzzle Pirates tote bag and a red and black bronze elephant named Vafthrudnir.

On October 30, 2008 Hawkings was named captain of Odin's Demise to take over leading the crew by replacing long time captain Reepacheep. During the proceeding six months Hawkings had been acting as the day to day leader of the crew when his friend Reepacheep had become largely inactive.
