Greetings!

This be Sid Tackem writin' to ye. I guess the effects of the Muertos Moon haven't completely worn off yet because I actually be startin' to miss havin' ye loud pirates standin' around and chattin' me ears off. Ol' Port Royal isn't the same without ye all, I can't wait to see ye again in Beta!

As ye may already know, to access semi-open Beta, ye need to get yerself a PlayTime slot or a Key. Now, get this -- Pirates Forums will soon be hostin' a series of contests that will award winners with gold, a Beta Key, or the implementation of their ideas into the game! All contests will be testin' yer creativity, so ye better get those rusty wheels in yer head spinnin'!

The winners of the contests will be chosen by moderators -- there will also be one contest in which winners will be chosen randomly! Check in on Pirates Forums frequently if yer interested in catchin' one of these contests.

Good luck mates, make me proud!

Will the contests be posted on the forums, or in the IRC or whatever?

All of the above. IRC, FB, PF, and TLOPO's website - even the Wiki.

Great news to hear more beta keys are being given away. However, I have a concern. I'm not sure if the best way to implement new idea into the game is through contests.

An idea should be added to the game based on the agreement of a large number of people who feel it should be added, not based on the winner of a contest.

So will each contest be posted in every place? Or will certain contests only be posted in certain places?

Since PF is hosting them, it will first get posted here on PF. But then those of us in charge of the other places I mentioned will spread the word.

Nice to see Beta keys are being rolled out, looking foward to seeing the contest and other events that will be offered here in the future.

I see where you are coming from and I agree, but I suggest that there is a contest that lets say five different people are chosen out of it and through their ideas a poll is taken kinda like how Disney did their poles on the original website before they shut it down.
