<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> there, Pieter,

Unfortunately I haven't had much chance to drop in here lately or indeed to keep up with the progress of the Build, however, I see I've dropped in just in time to wish you all the best for your voyage. Keep us well posted. CCC, Hook and Pirate KK will be excellent custodians of the Build project whilst you are away.

Many thanks, too, for all your help with my mod noodlings over the last 18 months. I look forward to getting back into it all again one day, time permitting, and hope you'll be back on a more regular basis again following your cruise.

Once again, cheers and all the best,

Just wanted to drop you a short note. It was fun working with you for that short period of time. As I will be gone before you return, you take care of yourself and enjoy your time at sea. If our paths never cross again, I truly wish you the very best of luck and hope your career brings all that you want. Keep you eyes on the horizon <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" /> and a sharp eye out for pyrates.
 
Best wishes and good luck, Pieter <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Just thought I'd wish ya good luck myself before ya go. Despite my visits being infrequent and my modding projects uncommitted I have still appreciated the help.
 
Thanks a lot to you all. I released Build 13 Update 3, Mapships V2 and I'm currently uploading Build 14 Alpha 6. That should keep you occupied for a while. I must leave now, but I'll leave the computer on until the upload is finished.

Good luck to you all! The very best wishes to every single one of you! And I hope to be able to drop in every now and then. And be sure to check out my <a href="http://pieterboelen.spaces.live.com" target="_blank">MSN Space</a> where I'll try to post regular updates. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Pieter, success to ya! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
I got to my hotel in Fort Lauderdale and will board the ship tomorrow. See the full story <a href="http://pieterboelen.spaces.live.com" target="_blank">here</a>. Feel free to leave a commen on my Space if you want. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

BTW: I don't want you to give me too much credit for the current Build. Nathan Kell is the number 1 modpack compiler. Without him there would be no Build mod at all. And he actually made many mods himself. Unlike me. So Nathan should get at least as much credit as me, though I personall think he deserves MUCH more credit. And the same goes for all the people who actually MADE the mods I put together. Thanks to you all: Without you, there'd be no mods either! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

Hello all,

Most of you know, some of you don't. Friday 9 February 2007, next week Friday, I will leave to sail 6 months aboard the <a href="http://www.hollandamerica.com" target="_blank">Holland America Line</a> ship <a href="http://www.aadhoogesteger.nl/cruiseschepen/cruiseschipzuiderdamzee02gr.jpg" target="_blank">MS Zuiderdam</a> as Cadet Officer. During this time I will first sail around the Eastern part of the Caribbean and after a few months I will pass through the Panama Canal to sail around Alaska. This is of course a great opportunity and I'm sure it'll be a great experience. However, I will most likely not be able to do much Potc work during that time.

To keep an eye on the forum in my absence, CouchcaptainCharles and Hook have joined the moderating team. To make sure Pirates of the Caribbean modding can continue, Pirate_KK has offered to take up modpack compiling work. I have given him access to the www.s31clan.com/pietersmods server so that he can put his modpack compilations somewhere. I am still trying to give him access to the pieter.piratesahoy.org server as well so that he can keep using that website. He doesn't have very much time for modpack compiling and he hasn't yet worked as modpack compiler, so things might be going slowly. So please give him all the support you can!

I currently have a Build 14 Alpha 6 WIP on my computer that contains a whole bunch of stuff that is not available yet. I will try to release Build 14 Alpha 6 before I leave, but I'm not sure if I'll manage. If not, I will at least make sure that Pirate_KK will get access to all important files that I still have lying around.

I had originally promised to release a Build 13 Update with all fixes and stable Alpha mods included, but now it seems that I will most likely not be able to do that. Leaving for 6 months requires a lot of preparation and I do need to put my priorities on leaving and not on PotC work. So I will do what I can before I leave and I'll leave the rest up to Pirate_KK and the other PiratesAhoy! community members.

As far as how active I'll be during these 6 months, I just have one thing to say: I have NO idea how active I'll be at all. I will take my laptop with Pirates of the Caribbean with me and there should be internet aboard the ship, but I don't know at all how much use I can make of that or how much spare time I will find to spend on keeping in touch with this community. I will visit the forum as time and opportunity permits and perhaps I'll even be able to support Pirate_KK with modpack compiling. I might also try and playtest the game for a bit and perhaps do some modding of my own. But how much I will actually be able to do, I have no idea whatsoever.

I want to thank you all for the great time I have had in this community. People have come, people have left, we've had good times and hard times, but the community remained a great community. I hope that you will all be able to keep up what was originally started by Nathan Kell and continued by me. And you can be certain that I will return to the community when I return from sea.

If you have any questions or comments about my leaving, please say so. Preferably before I leave. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
