I was downloading the update to Build 11 last night when an idea occurred to me that might 1. make modding somewhat available to us "`code-challenged`" individuals, 2. it might also do something to satisfy the members of the forum who want to make POTC into an online game, ( a mmmorpg, or whatever you call it, remember you're dealing with an old guy here, it took me two days to figure out what lol means) and 3. lastly, but not leastly; it would not necessarily greatly increase the workload for the already over worked modders. (and brilliant modders, I might well add.)
We are all aware that there are a number of treasure locations in the various jungles and beaches of POTC, the stone idol on Douwesen comes to mind, but I mean any location where the hand icon shows up is the kind of thing that I am talking about. I don't know if it would be possible to put specific, rather than random, treasures into one of these locations, but if it can be done there could be a large haul of emeralds on the beach of Octopus Bay, or a collection of all of the "fine" swords in one of the treasure spots in the Douwesen dungeon, or a set of all of the crystal skulls in the barrel next to the house in Oxbay, some treasure set up as the goal for a quest that can be found in the game when you figure out the clues to a puzzle you get from the PA site.(Whew, I can really make a run on sentence can't I?) Only people with the Build would be able to participate as one of the things you would have to do is download the update so that the treasure would actually be in the specific spot after the modders had managed to mod it in.
Over in the Burning Brig forum I started a thread, "X marks the spot", that has a puzzle that, if you solve it, it points you to a location within the POTC game. I set this up to see if anybody would be interested in this, or even solve my puzzle, and I'll be watching it to see if anyone comes up with the answer. If this is a doable idea, a person could apply to one of the moderators and the modders and thru PM's they could coordinate the set up of a location and possibly a specific treasure, and when this information is made a part of the update the member could post their puzzle. Members, or guests with Build 11, could download the update, solve the puzzle, and when they go to the location in the game, they would gain the treasure.
When someone else wants to set up a treasure map for the rest of us to solve, a new update would get rid of the old treasure, or possibly keep it in, and put in a new treasure in another location for another quest.
If this can be done, I think it would add a new dimension to the game and give us another way to enjoy the game and the PA Site. What do you think?
