P101, Details you'd never notice #1: Missing finger?

   Hello everyone! Over the course of me playing through P101 on Rachel Hawkins, there are some details I've noticed that I find interesting. So I've decided to share some I've found with you guys in a new post series I called Details You'd Never Noticed, or DYNN. There won't be a set pattern in when I post these, just when I find a detail that I find interesting that no one else would even notice, or pay attention to.
   Anyway, the first DYNN has to do with good ol' Captain Gunn. Now do you remember when you visit Captain Gunn's tomb when trying to find his treasure? Well I noticed something while I was there that got my attention. Before I tell you what I noticed, it would make sense that I make sure you know a little bit about Captain Gunn in a nutshell so you will hopefully get it.
  Captain Gunn was a really famous pirate. He smuggled a whole bunch of stuff across the skyways including Yum fruit from Mooshu. He eventually grew rich making Yum products, including Yum. He became ich, which is how he got his treasure. That's Captain Gunn in a nutshell.
   OK, you're probably wondering what this whole post is about. Well unless I am mistaken, both Rachel Hawkins and Captain Gunn are (or in Gunn's case were) humans. Now humans have 5 fingers. Rachel had 5 fingers, but Captain Gunn? He only has four!

Now It's pretty clear from the above picture, that Captain Gunn died of decapitation. So that raises the question: Where is his fifth finger? (this is that same on his other hand) Leave a comment on this post about what you think happened. It can be logical, or insane it doesn't matter. Anyway, just something to chew on. See you all in the Spiral!

New Page in the Photo Albums!

   That's right all you wizard & pirates, I made a new page in the Photo Albums! It is "Treasure Island References"! I've noticed through out Pirate101 there are multiple references to Treasure Island, if not similarities. Because of this I have decided to make a page with all the references so far in my P101 adventure. If you want to check it out, it's under Photo Albums>Pirate101 Photo Albums>Treasure Island References.
   I will tell you right now, I have worked extremely hard not to put any spoilers to the book in there, so if you haven't read the book or are planning to, then you can still check it out. As I progress through P101 I will add on to it and when I do I will let you guys know through a new post and/or Twitter.
   I hope you will take the time to check out the new photo album and leave some feedback on it. See you all in the Spiral!

Messing with Templates

Hello everyone, I have an important announcement. In an effort to make the Helpful Saga a bit more appealing, I decided to change the template. I have uploaded a template and I am currently messing around with it. So if this blog looks weird and not w101 or p101 related, that is why. Bear with me though for I will fix it as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding! :)

I haven't walked the plank quite yet!

Hi everyone! It's me, the off again, back again blogger. I feel very guilty for not posting so long. I've been busy with camp during the summer, then school started and then both my p101 membership and my w101 membership expired. I am announcing that I am making a more permanent return to the kingsisle blogging world. :D I've been thinking over my absence, and I decided that I had so many great memories since I started this blog back in May 2007 (yeah, 6 years!), and I want to have more good memories. So the Helpful Saga is back up and running, and you can expect more posts! :D

The Solution to all of our problems! :D

First of all I am incredibly sorry for my extreme lack of activeness in the W101/P101/Blogger community! I am not dead, I have just been busy with back to back projects. ANYWAY, I think I have a solution to prevent something like this from ever happening again! I will use....wait for it......a schedule! As some of you bloggers may know, managing a blog takes up some time, so I have decided to create a schedule to make it a bit easier.

I haven't created it just yet, but you will see it on the sidebar by Apirl 20th. When I have put it up I will notify you all via Twitter. Until then everyone, See yaz! :P

Really busy

Hiya everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting. Between getting ready for Youtube and real life I have been really busy. That and also I have been obsessed with Sims 3 lately. Despite that I will keep posting and I'll try to keep updating. I just wanted to tell you I am alive and I will see you all later.

Video just may be possible

Hiya everyone! So on the poll the most popular answer was to make videos on Youtube. At first I didn't see it working, but then I came across a free video recording software that's pretty good. Before I do start recording however I'll need to resolve some issues.

• Privacy - it's near impossible to get my own room for recording and I'd need privacy
• Interest in multiple games - I'd like to record videos of more than 1 games. Comment or answer the new poll about what you guys think about that

That is about all the issues I have. Feel free to comment or tweet any helpful advice on these issue, or if you just want to give advice on how to do a good job that's great too. Well I hope I can start recording soon, I'll keep you guys posted!

Quest for Pollo's Map Part 2! In slideshow form.

Hi everyone! I said this will be done and it is. I have put up Quest for Pollo's Map in slideshow form! Feel free to leave your opinion  and any suggestions on how to make these better. Probably the Quest for Pollo's Map won't be the only reason I'll post, so I'm going to think of other things to post about. Please be aware that these slideshows won't capture every moment, but it has moments that I'd like to share. Anyway, here it is. There should be a music button to press if you'd like to hear the music added to it.

Establishing Quest for Pollo's Map series

Hey everyone! So I've been working on a new way to make a series where I try to find Pollo's map. As you've seen in my last post I did pictures, but I decided there should be a better way than that. I just finished recording a video of me playing Pirate101, but it didn't record my voice. I'll either put a seperate voice recording on the video, or I'll put captions on it, but I'll probably not do videos either unless I get good software which would probably cost money. So i am asking you guys what's a good way to put together my quest for Pollo's map. Just comments and hopefully I can find a way that works. :)

Quest for Pollo's Map! First map piece, welcome to Cool Ranch!

Hi everyone! Thought I'd post a nice update on how my Pirate101 adventure is going. Pictures will be included :).


Before I update all of you, I want to share some off topic news.

Ranked up Subodai from Horse barbarian to Horse warrior! :P

This just looked weird 0.o

Now back to some relevance :D. Please follow the captions.

Remember this moment?

\/ This is the very same El Dorado mentioned by the spirits of your parents! :D \/

Captain Avery tells us of El Dorado, a city of gold. Gold is always a good thing.

Well that looks more like a rubber chicken to me, but I'll go with it.

It's like looking for a pencil when it's in your hand.

Avery seems to be pretty good at not noticing when his stuff is being stolen.

Fin + Armada = not good

Awwww, poor Fin :(

First piece of the map of El Dorado! :D

Doing some undercover work.

I can tell this guy has a split personality xD

NOOOOOOO!!!!! Dx

Join us next time when we look for a piece of the map in Marco Pollo's birthplace, Cool Ranch!

My New Ship! The Red Rose

Hello everyone! So I've been working on my swashbuckler who is now level 12. And I've been saving gold since I first created her and I finally got enough to buy a skull island galleon!

I named it the Red Rose and I love it! There will probably be a time where I'll need to get a new ship, but hopefully that won't be for a while. So for now this will be my main ship. My swashbuckling is currently just arriving in Monquista, but I'm still working on her. Also I am working on improving the blog so be patient and expect results. Se ya soon! :D

Any Suggestions?

Greetings everyone! I'm just asking if any of you guys and gals have any suggestions on how I can improve The Helpful Saga. I want to have opinions from the public, so feel free to comment on any post, any time.

On Pirate101, I've been training my swashbuckler. Her name is Rachel Freeman and is currently level 10. I want to train her enough so she can be my main character. It'll be hard since my strongest character is my level 22 buccaneer. 12 more levels to go! :P

So just leave any suggestions you have on how I can improve or how I can be more active in the W101/P101 community in the comments of any post, any time. See you all soon! :D

Long time no see

OK, I know I should post a lot more considering that my last post was back in November, but life has been getting in the way. Now I know how to balance life and computer time. :P I've had time to think and decided to officially dedicate myself to this blog, but I'll still have a life. I may not post daily, but starting now I'll post at least weekly, even if nothing is going on.

If you guys out there have any advice on how to maintain a blog, feel free to advice me. Well that's it for now, see you guys soon!
