It's the third weekend since six oceans became three, so the weekend blockade schedule once more features island attacks only on Opal and Jade. Well, Opal, anyway. (Jade? Anyone home on Jade?) Pay is looking mighty good in the defense of Edgars Wahl, but don't expect that to last long; Admirial Finius only brought a 2-strong fleet with him.
On Cerulean, Menaces is running a sinking event just to assuage your "blockade withdrawal." On Emerald, the Doyle Island event, hosted by Illuminatti, appears to be the current outlet for tension between flags Indigo Blue and Blind Indifference... well, judging by those forum posts, maybe that would be overstating things. The tension appears to be entirely one-sided. Still, rivalries mean decent pay for jobbers; both flags are paying 500 PoE/seg.
Good luck, enjoy, earn lotsa pieces of eight, and don't forget to switch stations a few times so you can earn your February Seal o' Piracy!
Standard reminders: Schedule is given in Pirate Time, or U.S. Pacific. Player flags link to Yoweb information pages; Brigand King Flags link to Yppedia Brigand King pages. BK amassed power given in parenthetical numbers, like so: (14). For more info about jobbing contacts, jobber pay, and Event Blockade battle board configuration, check the Blockade tab of your ocean's Notice Board. To get hired, apply under the Voyages tab.
In honor of the event on Remora Island, here's a photo of a salvaged sunken ship. This is the Vasa, a Swedish warship that sank in 1628. For more about the Vasa or Dennis Jarvis's photo thereof, visit the Flickr page. (More about the Vasa's recovery here! Never say you didn't learn nuthin' from Puzzle Pirates Examiner, right?)
