  1. Nice to see you making an application, Allen :) As I already stated to you - I have no objection to you posting your application a little early since I feel you've done an excellent job of making yourself known. I can't think of a reason why you would not make a great contribution to our little community and I really do hope to see you join us. Best of luck with the process and you'll find out soon what's happening!
  2. You can hardly blame them for not stumbling across a thread from a year ago. Particularly since a lot of regular posters weren't here then either.
  3. Hi! Welcome to the world of pink

  6. welcome back amigo hope you stay this time
  7. We wouldn't be that cruel.
  8. I get that people don't like it (I'm not keen on it myself) my dislike is that its mainly due to the fact that more or less every round just collapses. So therefore I find the map can't be enjoyed since I rarely see it go beyond the cells
  9. Is it about pirates by any chance? ;) It is actually, navy-pirates kinda' theme.
  10. On a serious note, I'd like to be a successful author. I'm currently working on a few things, perhaps they will go somewhere
  11. The greatest memory I have of my school.... is leaving and never been back since.
  12. STOP SAYING MEMES also, this was written after one thread was locked?
  13. DO A FLIP also my poor css skills and even worse editing skills
  14. We've already spoken, but welcome! :)
  15. I used to get that with WoW. I was out at a point (back when I was in school) where I used to play too much after school. Another one I have is this other MMO I play called Pirates of the Burning Sea (where you play a ship captain in the caribbean) but its really frustrating how insanely hard some of the missions can be as you're just overwhelmed and then you can't sail away because your ship is too big/the wind isn't with you. Once your ship has been sunk enough times (durability damage and all that, you can get replacements from insurance) you lose your ship entirely and have to fork out a ton to buy a new ship. Not only that but I normally have to sail halfway across the Caribbean and back to get the new ship, along with modifications to go on it etcetc. It's basically a big time drain when its not going well!
  16. Jealous? It was noice and from M&S too. (no thats not me)
  17. In the early 18th Century while sailing to Port Royal, Jamaica, Governor Weatherby Swann, his daughter Elizabeth, and Lieutenant James Norrington encounter a burning shipwreck and recover a young boy, Will Turner. Elizabeth hides a golden pirate medallion owned by Will so as to protect him, and sees a ghost ship vanishing into the fog. Eight years later, Norrington is promoted to the rank of Commodore and proposes to Elizabeth, but her tight corset causes her to faint and fall into the sea. Elizabeth is wearing the medallion she took from Will. As soon as the medallion touches the water it summons the Black Pearl. She is rescued by Captain Jack Sparrow, who Norrington identifies as a pirate. Sparrow came to Port Royal intending to commandeer a ship. Jack attempts to escape but runs into Will, now a blacksmith and talented swordsman. They engage in a duel but Jack is captured by Norrington’s men and imprisoned. That night, the Black Pearl, the ship Elizabeth saw as a child, assaults Port Royal in search of the medallion. Two pirates, Pintel and Ragetti, escort Elizabeth to meet Captain Barbossa to negotiate parley. Elizabeth says her last name is Turner to conceal the fact that she is the governor's daughter, but while Barbossa stops the attack he takes her prisoner. Barbossa reveals to Elizabeth that his crew are cursed to be immortal after taking the Aztec treasure of Cortez from Isla de Muerta, appearing as skeletons in moonlight. In order to free themselves, the crew has been gathering all 882 gold pieces and giving blood sacrifices, but still need the last piece and Elizabeth’s blood to lift the curse. Will frees Jack from prison to rescue Elizabeth, Jack agreeing to when he learns Will’s last name. They commandeer the HMS Interceptor by pretending to steal the HMS Dauntless and recruit a motley crew from Tortuga, including Jack’s friend Joshamee Gibbs. Jack reveals that Will’s father, Bootstrap Bill, was a pirate. Will learns that Jack was captain of the Black Pearl until Barbossa mutinied and marooned him on an island, leaving him with a pistol with a single shot that Jack never used, intending to shoot Barbossa. Arriving at Isla de Muerta, Will and Jack observe Barbossa trying to commence the blood ritual; it fails because Elizabeth is not the child of Bootstrap Bill. Will rescues Elizabeth and brings her to the Interceptor, while Jack reunites with his former crew and is locked in the Pearl’s brig. The Pearl pursues the Interceptor, taking the crew hostage and destroying the ship. Will makes a deal with Barbossa to release Elizabeth in exchange for lifting the curse, but Barbossa maroons Jack and Elizabeth on the same island Jack was left on before. Elizabeth makes a smoke signal using Jack’s hidden supplies, alerting the Dauntless and reuniting with her father and Norrington, who agrees to rescue Will when Elizabeth accepts his proposal. Jack and Norrington plot an assault on the pirates with Jack going in to lure them out, but the plan goes awry when Barbossa sends his crew underwater to assassinate the Dauntless' crew. Elizabeth escapes the Dauntless alone, freeing Jack’s crew from the Pearl, and ventures to the island to rescue Will. Jack and Barbossa duel, but when Barbossa runs Jack through, he is revealed to be cursed too, having taken a piece of gold from Cortez’s chest. Jack shoots Barbossa, with Will revealing the curse has been lifted by fulfilling the blood ritual, and Barbossa drops dead. A short time later, Jack faces a public hanging, but Will attempts to rescue him. The two are captured, but when Elizabeth defends them both, Jack escapes aboard the Black Pearl. Governor Swann pardons Will and gives his blessing for Elizabeth to marry him. In a post-credits scene, Barbossa’s pet monkey Jack regains immortality by stealing a piece of gold from the chest.
  18. 21st birthd yesterday So naturally went for a ride
  19. If you're looking for a cartoon-y shooter try Team Fortress 2 (which is free to play) The Total War series is decent for strategies Portal is definitely worth a try also and perhaps the Half Life series if you've never done that either!
  20. What sort of games are you into/looking for?
