YPP Weekend Blockades, June 18-19: Netflixin' across Babylon all over again
Sat 2016-06-18 10:51:32 (in context)
So remember the Babylon and Netflix and Kill show from last weekend? This weekend, it's Episode Two: the Pay Cap Boogaloo. OK, well, not a pay cap per se - just an agreement between the two flags over jobber pay on Labyrinth Moors (3.5k/seg) which may or may not apply to the other contests between those two flags. Four blockades are scheduled for Saturday as we speak, and a fifth, Delta on Sunday, isn't on the schedule yet but has been announced on the forum.
On all the other oceans but Jade, we appear to have a modest amount of anti-Brigand King action--again, all of it for Saturday so far, but if that changes, I'll update this post later on this afternoon.
And because early notice is better than late, mark your calendars for XMAS IN JULY 2016 - a 24-hour Grand Frig pillage on the Emerald Ocean hosted by Pegasiswolf and the crew Dream Catchers, with a ridiculous amount of prizes along the way. Even the OMs are getting in on it, donating easter eggs and other goodies for the crew to give away. The ship sets sail on July 1, 2016 at 10 AM Game Time, and you want to be on it right from the get-go if you can swing it, because pirates who stay aboard for the whole twenty-four hours will be given a free ship and a chance to win a black octopus familiar and who knows what else, because the forum thread keeps updating with more and more prize information.
Gonna put it out there right now: I plan to be there for just as long as I can! I'm not very good at pulling all-nighters, I'll have the usual Friday Fictionette release due that day, and I have happy fun time real life plans for the afternoon of July 2... but I'll give it my best shot. If you see Nensieuisge on board, say hi!
But that's not for two weeks yet. For now, enjoy the blockades and see you around!
Standard reminders: Schedule is given in Pirate Time, or U.S. Pacific. Player flags link to Yoweb information pages; Brigand King Flags link to Yppedia Brigand King pages. BK amassed power given in parenthetical numbers, like so: (14).
