For 2016...and Looking Back, Fixing Stuff

I played PP for a few times back in 2016, found a reader of my blog and promised them that I would update my blog...but I ended up not updating anyway. I'm really sorry Aquachan, and thank you for your tell and comment.

So what happened was I joined a competition and unbelievably got 1st place in Excellent Alchemistry.

Then Aquachan found me and sent me a tell.

I barely had any content to post about so I just waited til the next time I could log in but I got busy with college again and...time just passed.

During winter, I saw a yeti for the first time.

There were also cute screenies like these in my PC:

2016 was just...the most cruel year for me. I blocked myself from using Twitter, Facebook and other social media to focus on my last year of college and my dancing activities. It was just a back and forth between eat-college-dancing-barely any sleep-eat-college-dancing-barely any sleep...like that. (No, don't say "then just quit dancing" NOOOO xD) Then I graduated and started working from 2017 and I'm left with no time again.

And I'm rambling again...

Anyway! I wasn't paying attention to my online stuff that I didn't notice PP being much more dead than before, the entrance of Dark Seas, Tinypic closing etc. I recently logged in in Meridian and there were only 5 people (including myself) online...it's such a sad state. Then I revisited this blog and boom! My background picture is gone...actually, the other pictures I stored in Tinypic are all gone. They apparently closed last year? And Photobucket keeps on messing up with people with their stupid plans so my blog looked like this:

So I had no choice but to re-upload all my pictures to Google, which at the moment seems more useful and trustworthy. No stupid and outrageous $400 a year plan like the initial plan of Photobucket. Their current plan is much lower now but I still won't use them anymore, not after all that drama that was a betrayal to all their users.

Anyway! I changed the background picture even though I still have the previous purple butterfly one. I think I like this dark one better. :) But for the rest of the tinypic pictures, alas...I didn't back them up anywhere else so sadly they are lost forever. T-T I did try restoring a few others that I found, and in the process I had to re-read my entire blog...

And oh boy was it so cringy and embarrassing... xD

But I decided not to touch them and just keep them like that, for memories and nostalgia purposes. Yes, all of the typos, grammar mistakes, the craziness...everything!

I've recently started logging in and playing again, but this time in the Emerald ocean since Meridian is almost empty. I do pop in Meridian once in a while to check up on stuff and to mem for a few minutes though, so if anyone is hesitating on playing, whichever ocean just go for it! Let's revive PP back from the dead! xD

Welcome 2016 and new blog name!

Ahoy everyone! It's been 2 years since my last post. :(
You might have noticed, my blog's name changed and is now "My Life as a Pirate" as of today because...I'm not a teenager anymore! Not a teenage pirate but a full pirate! xD

Anyway, a lot has happened in these 2 years and the last time I logged in to YPP was on March 2013. I missed playing so I decided to sneak a peek and logged in (while bf beside was just clueless about the game xD) on Dec. 29, 2015 to Jan. 2, 2016. Wow, it's 2016 now! 
Time flies by too fast! And everyone in the crew are dormant. D:

I logged in to find that I was a penguin! Turns out that there was an event of penguins VS seals? But I saw people at the inns that had pirate forms so I asked how to be a pirate again because I didn't want to be a penguin. xP

There were a lot of changes in the game with Kraken Hunt added as another SMH and I decided to join one after the IO spree. I had no idea what you do at a KH so I was confused at first but understood it after a while. There, I met Superpants and saw him at the poker table after the KH.

And as always, my pirate life is never complete without people talking about my name. 
Now that I think about it, why did I even name my pirate like this? I have no clue! I would like to ask my self from 8 years ago but alas, I can't! It will forever remain a mystery...

I don't really play poker much, but when I do, I always cash out with no money. HAHA! But miraculously, I won some 20k in total (from 2k) at poker this week. I also won a few times at hearts and treasure drop too. ^_^v

The next day I went to another IO spree on a WB. Because there's only a few people it's pretty hard to fill ships these days. Even the sloops for KH won't get filled. xC But it's the new year's so it's understandable why the population was like this:

But despite the low population, I saw there were still...violent interesting people online. 

But then again, there are also nasty people that just ruins the fun. :/ (Okay, this is the main story of this blog post lol)

I was on a KH hunt with a guy named Bigredrock and he had a captain at his crew by the name Katswreck. From hearing, she was on a pilly on a WB and they just finished pillying so she started dismissing jobbers. But the 3 she dismissed was the jobbers at Big's ship and we were inside the KH. Everyone was like "what in the seven seas?" for what she did but she was like "I thought they were in the WB pilly". Liek, are you that stupid not to look at names first before dismissing? And she just laughed it off after he told her off.

Big rejobbed people back but after a few minutes, she dismissed some people again. And was like, "I'll go (at the KH)" like duh, sure you're the captain of the crew but isn't that so rude, interrupting someone's KH and bossing them around?

So we just went in and went out after the break and started rejobbing people. We got new people and were ready to get in when this happened:

I wasn't even lagging (new laptop lol) and got him a handful of kraken inks and chests and he'll just plank me? 
During the KH, their captain actually had the nerve to ask if I wanted to join their crew and I was like no thanks, but now they just gave me another reason not to take a job at them anymore. :/

But anyway, there was a familiar tournament for overall scores in puzzling last week, and I placed 2nd in DNav...but fell down to 4th place at the last few minutes. xD But I still got 4th place and a few furniture! 
I was also able to mem a few routes down further into the late-Malachite ocean. God, there are a lot of outpost islands so I can only mem a few routes with the navy, but after that I have to go out on my own ship! D:

And this ends my YPP week! The next time I'll be able to log in would be from February...
So until then, fairwinds!

3-Day Exclusive!

Woot! First post for 2013! Guess what, on the 12th, 13th an today the 14th, I played YPP! xD 3 days straight, dude! And on the 13th, I stayed up until 4:30AM to earn a little in the blockade. I was so drowsy that I kept booching carp though so I decided to sleep then. X_X

Err...I really wanted to post about these 3 days separately but since I don't remember much of the 12th anymore, I'm just going to write one post.

Nothing much happened on the 12th. I was about to start memming when Boote logged in with her cousin Casanovajoe and they joined me. The memming session turned to a pilly and David and his GF (no, not Grand Frigate, it wouldn't fit on my sloop!) also hopped in. We kept losing because of my awful bnavving skills but Boote saved the day when she bought a new Captain's Badge and took on the helm.

On the 13th, this is what greeted me upon logging in:

Then he asked me to job him but he didn't know I was aboard a ship so he was forced to quit poker (?) and hop aboard my vessel. So I planked him as requested. HARD.

As you all know by now, the oceans have merged, which means there will be more routes for me to memorize. I tried memming Flyaway Island to Oasis Island but THOSE FREAKINGLY ANNOYING BRIGANDS WERE TARGETING AND COMING AFTER ME! ;A;

So I decided to postpone for now and just fool around with (my) newly-discovered pets. I saw a seal crawling around the sand and snow (yuck! xD) of Fintan but I couldn't take a screenshot because it escaped too fast. Here is a screenie of a penguin on...I dunno, some random island from the Malachite ocean. xD

After getting bored, I carped at a blockade at Polaris Point and it was kinda disappointing that it was low-paying and I didn't earn much, but I guess it can't be helped. The players are declining and with it is also YPP's awesomeness. BUT DUDE! YOU KNOW WHAT! I beat my own record at carpentry! A few years ago, I was able to execute a Masterpiece14 but yesterday, I got Masterpiece15!

I know you might be thinking 14 and 15 are close BUT! This means a lot to me! /me hugs the hammer I always use for carpentry. When the blockade was over, I saw a master+ BK hunt pillage and joined them. We won and got these:

 

Ahh~ feels good! Although I'm thinking that the worth of meeting the BKs and getting these trinkets are lower now compared to a few years ago. There's that thrill when you hunt for them and surprise when you randomly attack a red-ringed ship only to find out it was a BK. xD But anyway, enough of the drama.

Like I said, I stayed up late to be able to work my booty off at the blockade but while waiting, I strolled around some islands looking at furniture and clothes, just to catch up with everything I've missed when I was on hiatus. What surprised me though, was not the new clothes but the prices of clothes at a certain tailor shop in Terra called Vic Terra's Secret. xD

New Atlantean Helmets were being sold for 3,500 PoE and the good ones for 2k! Also, new Qing Hats and Samuari Hats were being sold for 10k while new Cursed Isle masks for 15k! The tops and bottoms which had atlantean, indigo and other special colors were being sold at about 3k even when they were brand new. DOESN'T THAT SOUND RIDICULOUS?! But I was very happy (and lucky!) to find that shop. Since I earned a little at the Polaris Point blockade, I decided to have an outfit change and bought a Qing Hat and...a new top (forgot the name xD)!

Don't I look GOHHJIAAAZ?! Ren is even bowing down to my high and mighty angelic presence!

But now, AMBROKE! D: Then, that richy richy poo by the name of David told me he cashed out of poker with some 2 million PoE and that he was actually poor. MEH! xP
So I asked him to buy me a SMH badge (so I can earn more moneh!) and he told me that he will if I will say please:

And guess what! He DID give me 5 dubs for SMH badge! T___T Such a kind gentleman he is. /me sobs heavily on a handkerchief.
So to repay (?) him, I stalked him and gave him a potato stamp trinket (no, don't ask why) with a message from yours truly. I didn't take a screenshot before giving it to him though. D:
Then, the spiky-haired Mister showed me his awesome hair and how it looks funny when he wears a bandana so I bought him a red bandana at Terra and made him wear it:

I dunno when I'll be able to log in next but I'll be sure to do before April starts. I'll have to move to another city and say goodbye to this computer. Although I've got a laptop that I will bring with me, I dunno yet if I can play YPP because I don't have an idea how to connect to the internet and the damn thing doesn't have a mouse. (Which means I wouldn't be able to carp.)

And sorry that there are no smileys this time, I'm too lazy to put them in. LaaazyJerk. LAWL.
