We Had Extra Codes!

We had a little issue with one of our original game codes and contacted One-Eyed Jack to resolve the issue. Not only did Jack help us with the problem; he scavenged a couple of extra codes for us, in case it happened again! He’s so awesome!

We want to send out a BIG Thank You Jack! For your help and especially for your generosity! There’s a lot of our “A Pirate’s Portal”  fans who really appreciate it! Not to mention we LOVE these contests. This is only our 2nd give away; but it is so much fun for our entire family to be able to give away prizes to our visitors and other fans of Pirate101!!

We wanted to surprise some of our contestants who entered our Tribal Pack contest throughout the week by giving them one of these extra left over codes. We picked them at random, except one.

We decided to use one of those codes for a Day 4 entry we mentioned on our winners announcement. Our question that day was:
When you first enter the game and create your pirate character, What is the 1st thing Boochbeard says?

We posted an honorable mention to Captain James Derevaux; who gave us the most complete answer:
“Get down, she’s gonna blow. *BOOM* *cough cough* it’s one of these prisoners *cough* check the ones down there monkey.” 

We wanted to acknowledge the extra effort and awarded the first of the extra codes to him. Captain James received some great gifts from his Tribal pack: A Hunting Puma mount, a Scrimshaw Drake pet (named Coco), 3 companion training tombs and some cool stuff for his dorm room.

Our Sunday Special Tribal Pack Winners Are…

Supreme Commander KaneOur Sunday Day Tribal Crew Pack Contest Winners Are…..

Our special Tribal Crew Pack game code gives our winner 5 (five) Tribal packs for 1 account. That’s 5 packs that you can use for 1 or all of your pirate captains. It’s 5 chances to win exciting and wonderful prizes from the packs! With a special code like that; we had to make the contest question a little special.

Answer me this:
Do you know your Pirate101 History? If you do, you can answer this question with ease.
Who is the leader of the Clockworks?

The Golden Age Of Piracy
Have you read about the State of Piracy in the Spiral? The tale contains the history of pirating upon the skyways. It is a wondrous time of exploration and adventure, when tall ships fly the endless skies and brave the Stormgates of the Spiral. Trade and commerce sprang up all over the Spiral, and many nations learned that the size and strength of their fleets were the key to their destiny. Marleybone, Valencia, Monquista, and Polaris emerged as the dominant powers of the era, forming colonies and forging trade routes that made them wealthy and powerful. Grizzleheim and many other realms, tried to stay neutral, trading with all and claiming no empire.

Competing colonial interests led to tension between the great powers, and then to war. Polaris, led by Emperor Napoleguin, launched a great war against Marleybone, Valencia, and Monquista. Napoleguin’s military genius and strong navy brought the Spiral to its knees – his victory seemed assured, but Marleybone’s staunch resolve and Valencia’s new clockwork Armada finally defeated him.

In the aftermath, Pirates flourished in the outer reaches of the Spiral, where the colonial powers spread their forces thinner and thinner. In Skull Island, gangs of Pirates took control of entire Skyways, building their own ports and cities and launching daring raids in every corner of the Spiral.

The Armada continues to rise. The Clockworks are supposed to be the military of the Valencian monarchy, but many are beginning to wonder if the Clockworks and their leader, Kane, don’t have an agenda of their own.

Read the whole historical tale State of Piracy in the Spiral and full back story of its evolution on Pirate101!

Our Saturday Special Tribal Pack Winners Are…

Captain EveryOur Saturday Day Tribal Crew Pack Contest Winners Are…..

Our special Tribal Crew Pack game code gives our winner 5 (five) Tribal packs for 1 account. That’s 5 packs that you can use for 1 or all of your pirate captains. It’s 5 chances to win exciting and wonderful prizes from the packs! With a special code like that; we had to make the contest question a little special.

Answer Me This:
Captain Avery is based on a real life Captain, who pirated the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. What was his “real” name?

Henry Every
Also known as Evory or Avery and sometimes erroneously known as John Avery. He was an English pirate who operated in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the mid-1690s. He likely used several aliases throughout his career, including Henry Bridgeman, and was known as Long Ben to his crewmen and associates.

Dubbed “The Arch Pirate” and “The King of Pirates” by contemporaries, Every was the most notorious pirate of his time; he earned his infamy by becoming one of the few major pirate captains to retire with his loot without being arrested or killed in battle, and also for being the perpetrator of what has been called the most profitable pirate raid in history.

You can learn a lot more about the inspiration for Pirate101’s Captain Avery. Reading a little about the real man, gives some good “behind the story” insight of our Captain Avery on Skull Island. You can read more about Captain Henry Every on Wikipedia!

We had a lot of responses for this one. But Tonight’s code winners are:

Our Day 8 Tribal Pack Winners Are…

Anne BonnyMarch 8, 1702 – April 22, 1782 (aged 80)

Anne Bonny
March 8, 1702 – April 22, 1782 (aged 80)

Our 8th Day Tribal Crew Pack Contest Winners Are…..

Thanks to One-Eyed Jack we get to close our last single pack contest with 2 (TWO) Winners!!

Answer Me This:
Bonnie Anne is based on a real life pirate named Anne Bonny.
Who was the 1st Pirate Captain that the real Anne Bonny served under?

Anne Bonny was born in Ireland and became one of the most famous female pirates in history. Little is known about her early life prior to arriving in the Bahamas.

Most most modern knowledge about Anne stems from Charles Johnson‘s A General History of the Pyrates (a contemporary collection of pirate biographies, thought to be exaggerated with tales and accountings).

She was fairly young when she married a poor sailor and small-time pirate named James Bonny who she met in America. The marriage apparently was a rouse as James thought he would inherit much of her father’s fortune. Too bad for him that Anne was disowned by her father and cut out of his will.

Sometime between 1714 and 1717 Anne and James moved to Nassau. While in the Bahamas, Bonny began mingling with pirates in the local taverns. She met John “Calico Jack” Rackham, captain of the pirate sloop Revenge, became his mistress, and they had a daughter. You can read more about Anne Bonny at Wikipedia!

We had a lot of responses for this one. But Tonight’s code winners are:

Cameron
