Monday news on a Tuesday?

I was expecting the game to be much more than that. Dissapointing.

And if you play it in Large mode everyone looks all pixel-y.

Play it on Normal and the pirates looks like poor JPG quality. O_O

They're probably pasted JPGs.

Nothing else plot-wise?

I was hoping for at least a mention on what supporters do or something. It would have been nice since it's not clear.

My bet is they'll have to play that game. ^.^

Glad I wasn't a supporter. XD

Oi vey! I really hope us supporters get better games than that! That game is quite hard to get into the flow of. The level where you get cannons was extremely difficult and unfun. Trying to ward off pirates on the rail while having to wait for a stupid cannon to fire so I can drop the cannon ball I got so I can get the water to douse a fire can get frustrating very quickly. Tossing the cannon balls at the pirates doesn't help much either.

I'm feeling somewhat uninspired.

Gah. I don't like this game. Too simple in the beginning and too hard as soon as the cannons come in.

Bad job, TNT, bad job.

If that game is the only one we get to win points for our side, then my side is doomed.

Glad to see that I wasn't alone in having such trouble with the game. I thought that I was just a total klutz. Now I see that it is the game having the problems, not me. Totally impossible to fire cannons, ward off pirates, and douse fires at the same time.

Fingers (and toes) crossed that that game is not the way for supporters to help.

I tried that when it was in beta testing and hated it. At first I was just totally confused (there's a shock, huh?), then found it boring and not worth the time as far as np/score ratio. And the cannon level? For awhile that didn't even work!

Even if I do really poorly battling, I'm really glad I chose to be a warrior now ... just in case that is the game for supporters.

I'm sure it isn't the only way for supporters to earn points -- the text (which I can't see right now because I've already signed up as a warrior, relatively weak though my fighter is) had said playing games, plus donating supplies (a quest/employment agency scenario?) and such.

OTOH, I would expect it to be one of the games for at least the Maraquan supporters (if Pirate supporters can't play that one for war points, maybe they'll do Dubloon Disaster instead?).

Don't worry, we're not doomed. I'm rather good at this game

Attack of the Revenge? What a stupid name that is.
