    Buccaneers! Ship Name Suggestions

    Hi all, As we need to build up a library of ship names for the four factions in Buccaneers!, I thought it would be fun to let you suggest specific names that you'd like to see in the game. These names will appear at random when encountering ships, so a few Easter eggs alongside typical names...

    International Talk Like a Pirate Day

    Yeah, we just threw that together quickly earlier today with Twitter in mind, where most people are likely to watch it without sound. It was preferable to one of us attempting a piratey voice-over; that wouldn't have gone well. xD Because the rum is always gone...
