United Arab Emerates Tour

[Alez]

for #69 off to the desert kingdoms, surely there be loot.....

United Arab Emirates
RAC #105 v's #37
899 crunchers ( 84 active ) v's 2 pirates

Easy pickings.... onwards.

[Alez]

Someone in UAE walked the plank. Only 5M in it now. Day or so and we're playing in the sandpit.

[Silver]

Down to 2.6M now, and as Collatz seem to be validating units it may be ours very soon

[Silver]

~1.2 million and counting...... :pirate:

[Alez]

500 K, I can smell the booty

[Alez]

Seems that the plank walker has returned compounded by collatz issues and the need to kick some butt in milkyway....so a slight reprieve. Once through these headwinds the pirate fleet will prevail

[Alez]

We're only 3.5 million off now, but the headwinds of Milkyway mean the voyage will be a little longer but the number of units to get there will make the booty a little sweeter....

They would be slightly easier to catch if they'd stop moving

But that would ruin the fun when we have them at the point of a cutlass.....and before Mr PP corrects my historical accuracy, I am aware that a cutlass was primarily a slashing sword. Bloody scary things too, having seen one in real life ( not pointed at me I add, though the scene from Indiana Jones with the swords then the Webley comes to mind and the fact that a Browning M1911 is far more effective )

... In this case I think I would agree with you. Holding someone to ransom at the sharp end of a blunt instrument would be quite a terrifying experience, at least, for someone. It speaks volumes for the mental stability of the holder in question... good piratical move I'd say!

[Alez]

Only 12k to go.....land ahoy, break out the swag bags

[Silver]

I'm not sure I want to say this til someone had verified the numbers but......
I think we've done it :blob:
Onwards and upwards my pirate chum :pirate:

[Alez]

Yarrrrrrr ! It be official, desert loot in the bag.
Grab what ye can, we be off to darkest Peru for a marmalade sandwich
