It's snowing outside.
But in 20 seconds, I can be sailing the high seas in the Carribean...feeling the wind in my hair, the salt in my teeth and seeing my next prize tops'l up on the horizon...load and run out mates.

Arrr, matey, pirates don't use decimals! Them whole numbers be hard enough, especially when you run out of fingers to count on.
Reason #215) It's fun to talk like a pirate.

I know the feeling. I was down on the Yucatan Peninsula in January. This game really makes me want to go back. The Water, the Sand, oh! the pirates life for me.

If there were no restriction on gold per post, I wonder how much gold you would get for sharing reasons 1 - 212 with us?

reason #
2 The looting and plundering
3 The feeling you get when you command a lot of blood thirsty pirates!
4 The cool wind which gives you speed and plays with your hair
5 The sun which gives you plenty of tan
6 The exotic beaches you visit
7 The treasures you go after
8 The battles you fight
9 The upgrades on your ship
10 Total freedom...going wherever you like...doing whatever you like...
this is only 2 through 10...
perhaps someone else will post 11 through 20?
