Ahoy shipmates!
I've been away for quite some time... I got a new laptop back in 2008 and I couldn't find the PotC install disk, so I was unable to get the game on that new machine. Well, I finished high school, graduated in 2009, then started college at the Virginia Military Institute that fall. The first year was grueling, as it was college and boot camp at the same time. Four months ago I got a new Dell XPS 17 and when we were putting away Christmas decorations today, I found the PotC install disks! They had been... packed away with the Christmas CDs accidentally? I don't know how... but they were. Anyway, I immediately installed the game and was overjoyed to see Build 14 A2 online! So I've already got that installed and am testing it now... needless to say, you'll be hearing from me soon with thoughts on the American content! Ha ha! I've become an avid Pirates of the Burning Sea player over the past year and a half (you can find me on the Roberts server under the name Frank Van Valkenburg), but I still think the Build Mod offers an infinitely more realistic and encompassing age of sail experience... really, the only thing that keeps this game from being perfect is its lack of multiplayer or online gameplay.
At any rate, I've got a little something for the community here. After I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides early this past summer, I entered a three week frenzy of inspiration and creativity, producing this. I am something of an avid writer now, but even with that in mind, I was baffled at the result. This piece of work is even in the editing phase so I can send it to Disney... they just might want to publish it?! Even if it can't, or they choose not to, it's something for the general populace on the internet to enjoy and has, at least in my mind, potential for something of a story line in this game. It could utilize a lot of content from the entire PotC movie series that's been added to the game, as most of it is indeed present in my novel.
So, without further adieu, I present to you...
Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned
