Title: Challenge: Become A Pirate - Online! Post by: Rattler on 27 July 2009, 23:12:34 Always wondered what it sould be to be a pirate, but no dough/time to make the trip to Somalia? Well, here goes: Just tried it out and made some serious money:
Cutthroat Capitalism An Economic Analysis of the Somali Pirate Business Model: http://www.wired.com/special_multimedia/2009/cutthroatCapitalismTheGame (http://www.wired.com/special_multimedia/2009/cutthroatCapitalismTheGame) Easy to play, hard to win (I just love the negotiation part)! Have fun! Rattler [/h] Here is the challenge: - 20 attacks I made $ 860.000 Beat it, Rattler Title: Re: Challenge: Become A Pirate - Online!

Beats everything I have seen so far (before: 1.100.000 the record in the various places I posted it). Your trick? I fail about 30% of attacks, so my 20 just yield negotiations for 14/15, and I make a meidum of 2M $ Anyway, well done (for a pirate:) ) :champ: Rattler Title: Re: Challenge: Become A Pirate - Online! Post by: FACman on 29 July 2009, 23:35:38 I only go after Cruise ships and Container ships as they have the most value, you start off asking 10 mil and laugh all the way to the bank with 5-6 mil in ransom. If they are antsy/diff to begin with in negotiations, I take the 2 mil early and look for loot more easily separated from the shipping magnates.
ps almost forgot...YARR! Title: Re: Challenge: Become A Pirate - Online!
