Its a quest full of small riddles. Of course, there will be rewards including wish points. Open to all Mind Powers. Access to Golemus and Loreroot will be needed.

Ever heard of the Pirate code? Never read my papers, eh? Ok, this quest shall teach you a lesson about the Pirate code. To start go to Gazebo of Equilibrium and use 'Pirate code'.

Some technical stuff:
- You will have to solve several riddles, find locations and code words. If there are several possible locations - try them. (For example I will not tell you which clickable in GoE you have to start with :P
- No hints, at least for a few days.
- There are some wishpoints for the winners, thanks to King Yrthilian.
- Winners of my last quest can't receive a wishpoint, just fame.
- For any technical issues, PM me.
- Golemus access requirement has been removed. So, its not required anymore.

Have fun,
Mighty Pirate

Not large numbers again! Bloody hell. Twelve of them at that... I give up... I mean, they have a certain characteristic in common, but man...

"You blind, you deaf, you selfish people, making noise, without order and sense, without why and because, for whom and how, without the question that maybe would dry out the prideful smile on the face without tears, on the face that never turned the cheek.

A carving, coffin, a worm, and face, and hair, and blood.

You silent players of your ritual dance, happy in trance in a world that exists only in heads of people without scrupuls, of the people without mercy, people without memory, you who don't know the showers of sound, colors and smells. You witless people. "

Yes :) Day Two is over and will still have no winner.
Another small hint? Here we go: Remember, the quest is about the Pirate code. As you may have noticed, some riddles are linked to paragraphs from the Pirate code.

Have fun :rolleyes:

Day 3 ist almost over and we still have no winner. :unsure:
Some more hints for the second last riddle (the one Ravenstrider mentioned) :

  • 'No person to game at cards or dice for money!' (The Pirate code)
  • 'Not large numbers again! Bloody hell.' (Raven) Correct! There are no numbers over 20 in our riddles.
  • 33333 is impossible. (Death penality if you try!)
  • 67666 is better than 53225 is better than 99724.
  • Lady Gaga (You don't see any connection? Then listen!)

Have fun, Mighty Pirate Posted Image

Edit: One added hint for the last riddle: Again, no mathematics!

Mind posting the solutions up here then, or if you don't want to, via a PM to me please?

I'm curious how you were supposed to do that maths thing.

Yes, please post it. Since I had absolutely no time to check it I am curious.
My Decalogue

1. My opinions may have changed but not the fact that I am right.
2. My only flaw is that I'm perfect.
3. Don't believe that sort of rubbish unless you hear it from me.
4 I'm so great I'm jealous of myself.
5. Everyone is entitled to my opinion.
6. Save time...see it my way.
7. There are two ways to look at things: Either my way or the wrong way.
8. It matters not weather you win or lose; what matters is weather I win or lose.
9. I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
10.I am a self-made woman and worship my creator.

Thanks Mighty Pirate! I think the quest was really fun. The 6th riddle especially. I lost more than a day thinking why those numbers were prime...when they were not even numbers...

Congratulations.

If the numbers are not numbers, how the heck did they all end up being primes?

Err...I would say that they seemed to be prime numbers. Actually those sequences of symbols represented...

Better if I leave the final explanation to the Mighty Pirate...

The ">"s and "<"s play a big role in riddle six...
Actually, before the hint for that, I guess a close answer to it... but it is two words but the answer should be...
