A NEW BEGINNING

First, I want to appologize for straying so far away from my original entent of creating a blog about unfortunate writers. I have turned this sight into a rant and rave about things that bug me, or things I personally can brag about. I will endeavor to stop that and return to the original genre of moaning and groaning about how screwed up the situation is in the world of sales. Man, does that sound like some boring sh#% or what? Actually, that was my original entention, however, since the extreme situation our country has encountered with the financial difficulty of managing a society with so little-only 233 Trillion dollars according to Financial Reports on Wikipedia-I want to cut back on my personal petty problems and focus more on the attention required to better our society which is ??????????????????????? Well, the answer isn't really clear, but my grandma used to say, "If you eliminate all the wrong, then you are surely to find out what's right." Granny is dead now-Rest her soul-but the words are still as brillient as they were so many years ago. The answer then is to eliminate all the wrong in Washington D.C. in order to find out what is the right thing to do. Anyone wanna take that on? Obama? Okay, anyone else? I didn't think so, therefore, we are-as my uncle Howdy used to say, "In deep and I broke the shovel." Good luck with that finding the right thing people.

Set Up For The Kill

First of all, thanks for all the comments about my previous Blog about Puzzle Pirates, however, because of them I fealt the whole story was necesary.
My son joined a crew of pirates run by a 13 year old who had been playing for quite some time and had several large vessals. My son became a SO within a short time because there was only 20 people in his flag and the captain promised my son he could use the larger vessals if he gave him 5000 poe up front. My son is 13 and gullable so he gave him the poe. The captain allowed him to use the large vessal 2 times and refused any more access. My son told him to give him the money back or continue allowing him to use the vessal. The captain refused and my son being an SO went back on the boat and removed 1,200 poe which was all there was in the coffers. The captain immediately sent a tell to the oceanmasters which evidently reviewed the issue and did not see any of the previous negociations they had arranged prior to the taking of 1,200 poe, therefore, my son,(and not to mention myself-being one of the three pirates in the group), was banned for life for theft. I didn't even know my son was playing the game-he had attained my password and was having a great time on the ocean. Well there you have it. Those are the facts. I got screwed out of $75.00 and the extreme fun I was having as a very highly respected and climbing fast officer under a very established flag. Some times we have to learn the hard way, but it is a shame that a one-time mistake would be so permanent in a game. I have a salution to the theft problem too. If anyone accesses another pirates coffers, a window could appear asking the permission of that pirate and if there were a problem, they could simply deny access. Why is that so hard to arrange? When someone pays for a whole year of access to a server, it is thievary to disallow that access after receiving payment in full and I feel that Puzzle Pirates are currently stealing from me in the real world-and they aren't stealing poe like we were in advertantly accused of doing-they are stealing US American dollars.

PUZZLED OVER PUZZLE PIRATES

Don't know if you've ever heard of the game puzzle pirates, but in case you haven't, it's a little addictive game that over 3,000,000 people are attracted to. That's right, over 3 million players. It is accessed over the internet and is based on pirates in created oceans going through their everyday lives pillaging, selling, and trading things, but the one thing that these pirates don't do and is-if I might add-the most punishable of all crimes, IS STEAL. There is absolutely no theft allowed. So much so, that if one does so, one is eliminated "PERMINENTLY" from the game. I was completely taken aback by this agreement when asked to join the puzzling world since I fealt like if I paid $75.00 United States Dollars for a game, then I had the right to play the damned thing. Well guess what? You don't. They give access to whomever they want on their server, and if you have been banned, then you don't have access. The game gives you 3 pirates that may be designed as you want, male, female, white, black, brown, red, whatever, however, they are all under the same account. So if one pirate does something wrong, all three are banned. My son had one of the pirates and he made a deal with another 13 year old on one of his excursions and when he went back into the boat to get his money, the other kid disagreed, sent a report to the leagal guardians of the game-The Oceanmasters-and without even asking for an explaination, offering any type of assistance, no trial, no jury, no Sh%^, they simply banned us for life. To me this was an extreme unjustice. We were set up by a little prick 13 year old and paid $75.00 for the whole year and only used 35 days of service. I don't know wheather to sue the PP company, try to tell the world my story, or simply give up. I only think that the company is really the ones stealing from me-in the real world-not in a game, and after all, What in the f#^k are pirates supposed to do anyway if they don't steal?????????? My kid is 13 for god's sake-cut me some slack here guys.
