<table width=400 bgcolor='#ffffff'><tr><td bgcolor='#ffffcc' width=400 align=center colspan=2 cellpadding=3><b>Something has happened!</b></td></tr><tr><td width=80><img src='http://images.neopets.com/events/capt_scarblade.gif' border=1 height=80 width=80></td><td width=320>You hear the cackling of a MAD PIRATE CAPTAIN.</td></tr></table>
Does anyone know what this does? I don't know if anything's missing from my inventory, but I don't think so....

I'm pretty sure it's one of those REs that do nothing at all.

Its probably another event thats similar to the flying scorchio one or the Hope you're having fun ones or something.

They should have made him look like he was doing an evil laugh.... not drunk o_O

just my opinion though

I wonder if you had a type of pet or something you would have gotten something? I've never seen that one before so it must be new or really rare.

Thanks for your input everyone... I don't have any pirate pets at this time, so i can't tell if it's keyed to that or not.

The text looks a little off for a Neo Random event, so it might just be a fake RE that users like to add to their pages and shops.

I had it the other day as well

thats on brand spankin' new Random Event! Fresh from the oven on November 24th.

I believe it's an evil Pirate King. If only someone could refresh my memory!

My Deardre was a Pirate Aisha at the time and nothing happened.

So I figure that it is just another nothing event...

There are SO many random events, that people get suprised every now and then.

When I posted the message, I copied the html exactly from the page i got it on ... and it wasn't faked from shop as I wasn't in a shop (or user lookup) at the time. Perhaps what you're seeing is the difference in font, which can be attributed to differences in style sheets between neopets. com and pinkpt.com.

Nah, its real. I've gotten it once, and one of my Guild members has gotten it quite a few times.

I've seen numerous people quote random events, and the text is never the same here

And here's another one that I've _never_ seen before... had me worried for a bit..

<table width=400><tr><td bgcolor='#ffffcc' width=400 align=center colspan=2 cellpadding=3><b>Something has happened!</b></td></tr><tr><td width=80><img src='http://images.neopets.com/events/nightmare.gif' border=1 height=80 width=80></td><td width=320>All your Neopoints have been stolen, and all your items, and all your pets are sick, and your stocks have ... oh wait, it was just a horrible, horrible dream.</td></tr></table>
