Would you want the rows in your garden to be labelled with singulars or plurals?
Singular: there's only one kind of plant there
Plural: since there's more than one plant, the label should reflect that
Don't care: as long as I can read it, the details are unimportant

Bottle of Rum

posted Wednesday, 21 November 2007

I have gotten back into Puzzle Pirates, mostly because I found myself thinking nostalgically about the distilling puzzle, which I can say without boasting I'm quite good at.

A few things have changed: Blacksmithing has a puzzle of its own now (I'm very bad at it), and there's this thing you can do in which you sail your ship out into "uncharted" waters1 and beat up on Atlanteans in the intervals of playing a new game to haul treasure out of the sea.  (The one time I did this latter the rewards didn't seem worth the amount of time I spent sitting around, compared to a similar amount of time pillaging, but I might just have had a bad crew.)

Anyway, I bought a moderately expensive house and am now saving up for some furniture pieces to go into it.  Perhaps when I have some chairs I'll get paint as well.  The lovely thing about PP is that you can get anything you want in whatever color you want, assuming the shop you're in has the materials.  It's also fun that basically any crafted item has to be made, directly or indirectly, by players--even shops like tailors and weavers that don't have their own puzzles still have to have people sign up to "work" for them to produce goods. 

1: I put it that way because you do in fact have to have a chart to get there.
