Title: Pirating the sea of Eternal Dust
Post by: 8bitgrandpa on November 11, 2013, 02:41:40 PM
So i have a concept of a man going to Red Storm village, buying skimmers. Finding a brave bunch as a crew, and finding an island within the sea to pillage the southern coast. so my questions mainly are has this really been done or are their any current things of this sort etc.

It has been done. Though what you find out there is likely to be more deadly than profitable or pillagable.

What a cool concept though. I would want to go.  You should post this as a family role when in am between pcs. We might die quick but fuck it. Let's do it anyways !

Sounds like an interesting idea, if you can get some degree of admin assistance. Only been out there once. What I saw was-

Horrific.

Im actually really liking the idea, ive been thinking it over alot and yes with some admin help it would be one hell of and adventure!

I find that it's best to plan things that don't require admin support. Not that the staff isn't helpful and wonderful, but because 'no' is never the hoped for answer. And sometimes the implementation isn't what we hope either. Mostly though, I found that I enjoy Arm best when I don't wait for someone else to make the fun happen. Arm is best when you just try to do what you want to do. Sometimes you fail. Sometimes you even fail spectacularly!

The primary argument against silt-sea piracy is there is nothing to pirate.

Except for movies and video games that you'll need on the side while waiting for your crew of two PCs to log in.

Somewhere deep in the Silt Sea, two skimmers meet - alas, both are led by pirate captains. For want of actual prey, they sigh, shrug, then sit down to while away the boredom with a bit of dice and kruth. Winner takes the lone silt-pearl grebber.

I've  greatly enjoyed the two silt skimmer crews that  I have been a part of over the years.

I highly recommend giving it a try.

I've considered doing this very thing for quite some time now, when I have more time to devote to the game maybe I will.

Sounds like time for another Red Storm Revival.... meet you all there!
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

I was piloting a skimmer and saw another skimmer. I thought the other guy must be a bad ass or crazy or a magicker  and I fled the area!! That's as close as I have come. I waited a minute to see if he'd approach but nope.

He probably thought the same thing.  I don't think it is unrealistic to say that only bad assess have silt skimmers.

But there's nothing on the southern coast to pillage, except Red Storm itself. You wanna fight Magic Multown for a pile of cloth and wheat? Good luck!

I believe he mean the "southernmost coast" of the sea, as in if there was another continent on the other side.

I just imagine it just goes on and on for the rest of the planet, Sea of ETERNAL dust, after all.

I bet there's an awesome spot after the sea of eternal dust, where those 67 players online I can never find are!

Well, considering that you have more chances of seeing me playing on some island in the middle of the sea of eternal dust than in the Byn clan, you may have a point.

Byn. Ew. Let them eat travel cake.
