There is a question at Talk:Secondary color that I asked a while ago that still hasn't been answered. Any comments on what to do at either this article or the Secondary color article?? 66.245.71.17 02:16, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Island names?

Of the other people reading/working on this, who thinks a list of the islands would be a good idea? Especially given the numerous links to Greek mythology and whatnot.

(For instance, had I not happened upon its entry, how many players would know that lagniappe is even a word, never mind its meaning?) Azure Haights 05:43, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)

An interesting idea, but my feeling is that a list of island names would be more detail than is warranted for an encyclopedia article, especially since it's not really critical to a basic understanding of what the game is. Additionally, as new oceans are released, a list of the island names will grow longer and may become out-of-date quickly, and I expect that the new oceans won't necessarily follow the same naming patterns as their predecessors. —Triskaideka 15:09, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

What about Ocean names though? They've got four English servers and German server right now, and had a Chinese one until it closed down. ~The Magus 21:44, 22 March 2005

I have been pondering opening up a wiki just for this game, specifically to manage things like island names, flag names, etc. The ocean/island names are pretty static, but other information about them is very fluid. However, it may be useful to mention more about the structure of the game world in general, since the article currently focuses only on the puzzles. Kutulu 14:01, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There's already an official Wiki- the YPPedia. (Edit: just realized the date of the last comment. Sorry.)--Remalle 04:22, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Puzzle Pirates Game

Is that why Puzzle Pirates featured in the PoCap games website? Because their games are similar to PopCaps' games? I guess it is. Ok, now I am sounding like an idiot. But Puzzle Pirates is awesome, way better than PopCap games. Who created Puzzle Pirates? My username on Puzzle Pirates is also Hastalavista. Hey to all my friends on Puzzle Pirates!

I'm pretty sure it's just that they have an advertising deal with Popcap. You'll want to see Three Rings Design for the people who made the game, or check the YPP wiki. AySz88^-^ 12:33, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

On a side note as an avid Ice tester *and* a person who constantly searches through the game files, Fisticuffs is Boxing. Not two separate games. Also, not too many people are familiar with the YPPedia (YPP wiki), mayhaps we should include a little info on how prospective players would be able to find help? – Sivius ^TALK 23:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some random stuff

I added some information, such as the fact that shipyards produce bludgeons and that familiars never decay. ~Remalle

Thanks for the new information. The paragraph about decay specifically mentions manufactured items, however, meaning that familiars and trinkets are implicitly not included. I took that part out, and fixed up some punctuation, too. =) Powers 02:14, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Game Gardens

Does this really belong in this article? It isn't anything to do with Puzzle Pirates, other than the little bit about games being easily portable into Puzzle Pirates. Adrian 04:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, there is a little tab in the Parlor interface that points directly at it. But given how little attention it gets I suggest merging it unto Three Rings Design. Nifboy 04:31, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I think the single little paragraph in this article is appropriate, given the connectedness between the two. However, any further expansion of the topic should go in Three Rings Design. Powers 12:38, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] YPPedia?

Fairly sure the YPPedia fits in Category:Computer_and_video_game_wikis, but as it doesn't have a seperate article, it can't be listed there despite being entirely relevant to the category and potentially useful. -Heartofgoldfish 23:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, most Computer and Video Game Wikis are probably not notable enough to have an article in Wikipedia; the fact that there is a category that they could fit into is not sufficient reason to write one. However, in the case of YPPedia, the wiki is hosted on Three Rings' servers and is officially supported (complete with Nemo-graphics); that may be notable enough to merit a brief article.

[edit] How to earn Pirate Badges?

Pirate badges are mentioned under the Navigation puzzle, but there's no explanation on how to get them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.80.167.6 (talk • contribs).

Badges are purchased on doubloon oceans. I'll take a look to see if that section can be clarified. Powers 17:15, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

A pirate badge isn't earned, rather, it is bought with one doubloon. It's to say that you've payed the Ringers (or else bought from someone else who's payed them). --Remalle 17:41, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Puzzle Pirates ROCKS! I play it a lot, then take a break, then want to play it SO BAD again. It is a creative game, way better than Rune Scape (http://www.runescape.com)!

[edit] Banning rules

i think it should be mentions that there strict banning rules get your computer banned if your sibling/ anyone other gets banned on you computer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.60.227.148 (talk • contribs) .

Association with a banned account get your computer TAINTED, and no, I don't think that'll be necessary.--Remalle 21:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
