I see our newcomer wasted no time in taking your advice, Salty. He is now armed with a quality cutlass! The captain of the guard had better watch his step!
Welcome aboard, Murrian. |

I see that you went for the native village background with straw huts. That might be a lot more comfortable than the upper floor of my Cape Cod-style house come August!
I have not been participating in the forum much lately because I am still having access problems from my work computer. The VPN works fine, but I only have it on one of my three computers, and it's the one I've been using least of late. (I can't install software on my work computer - it's locked down so tight that I can't even install a new font! And I turned off the wifi on my old XP machine a couple of years ago - it's now reserved only for gaming and image file storage.) |

I had betternet on a ipad so a vpn if needed on a mobile device might allow you more easy access to here. Something like a phone you always carry instead of a desktop pc. |

Alas, I don't have a smartphone. Just last year, I finally traded in my 13-year-old flip phone for a new feature phone with a slide-out keyboard so that I could join the texting revolution.
Since I spend 8-12 hours a day in front of a computer screen at work, I don't feel compelled to stay connected when I leave the office. |

Have you tried using 9.9.9.9 on a home computer? Should fix your problem there. |

Betternet is working fine on my home computer. The problem is my work computer - the one I use most often. |

Get you a cheap tablet, something you can play games on and surf the web at work but if you get caught don't blame me. I'm just a idiot. |

When you are at sea and sober, you are a terrific sailor and excellent pirate! It's only when you get a bag of gold coins and are turned loose in a Pirate Haven, then you hang out at places like the Salty Dog Tavern and drink A LOT and run upstairs with the Girls A LOT. Can't say as I blame you! |

Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and I am a huge fan of Sid Meier's Pirates. I love history, especially history of the 17th century and the history of piracy. I play other pirate related computer games and table top games.
It is a pleasure to be a part of this forum. Thanks for having me aboard. |

Welcome to Hooked on Pirates. What other pirate related computer games do you play?
Very respectfully,

Fleetp,
Lately it has been Man-o-War Corsair, but I have spent many hours playing City Of Abandoned Ships and it's mod, Gentlemen of Fortune. I played Blood And Gold: Caribbean for a while, but the controls were wonky.
I occasionally play World Of Pirates, I like the exploration aspect, but the graphics are not great. It reminds me of the original Pirates, which was an amazing game. |

Hello!
I used to play the original Pirates! on a 386, and I just got back to it with SMP. I came here looking for info on how to mod my pc (I want to play as a female) and was thrilled to find there's still an active community! |

I already downloaded it.
I'm also looking to make the male model look a little more like a woman because I just like narrow hips and wide shoulders in women. We'll see how far I get with that though! |
