I can't believe I missed this post. Yes, the similarities as in one nation with alliances to another nation drags that nation into their conflict?

By 'I bet I know who would be sent', do you mean that the armada will blackmail us into assassinating Napoleguin?
I would love to take out napoleguin. Wanted to since i first met him. Also, they probably wouldn't need to blackmail me i would work with the armada gladly ... they're awesome -Wolf

Ahoy there pirates!
Nice ideas Anecorbie! I definitely agree with Lady Elite being Swashbuckler, she looks lethal in the Armada Puppet show! I think that Kingsisle will come out with a sixth class that is very secretive and hidden, sort of like Shadow Magic in Wizard101. Kane will use that school's powers. Also, maybe someone from El Dorado controls the whole Armada!

Thank you for contributing to the thread, Narnialover ( I love Narnia, too ). Since we now have Clandestine Trainers in Devilfish Hollow, I don't believe we will see any new classes of pirate. About your idea that someone in El Dorado controls the Armada; well, that could make some sense as to why Kane is wanting to go there - to remove the "controller", but then we hit a paradox, if they're "controlled" then the "controller" can just order the Armada not to go there, see?

Perhaps the controller wants to use El Dorado as a base of operations. I mean, a world with a stormgate that can pop anywhere in the spiral, the armada would take control of the entire spiral within a few short weeks given the element of surprise of popping into skyways without a stormgate to Valencia alone...with that kind of power, there's even the possibility of the armada taking over wizard city. Now THERE'S, a scary thought.

As a side note, why is the armada even trying? In the fourth b.o.x in w101, where you help Boochbeard and Gandry, you overhear the Maestro, directly telling Deacon that these pirates will free someone who will go on to defeat the armada. If there is a controller Deacon would have reported it to that controller, or if there isn't, then to Kane himself, and the Maestro obviously earned Deacons trust enough to convince him to execute Boochbeard and Gandry, or at least capture them. Why would Deacon not believe him?

Okay, that is all.

"Powers sleep in El Dorado which must not be awakened".
Its not the gold Kane wants. Kane is looking for El Dorado because he perhaps knows what's there and intends to use it to further the "Grand Design".
Will we ever find out what's there before we go? We could have asked Egg Fu Yung, Catbeard or Argos, but no; KI won't let us do something so obvious as to ask a question. How many stories and movies have ended dissasterously because someone has failed to ask a question?

I agree, you took the words outta my mouth XD but i wonder, how could the armada elites be so smart? i mean they are just robots, robots are usually dumb.
The creator of the first armada robot could've programmed them to be that intelligent but then when the clockworks made more, the next robots' programming went haywire (maybe?) and that's how Kane got so intelligent.

Like you said, Anecorbie, in your first post, Phule might've been a Privateer. I think Phule may be a Witchdoctor because I have friends who get from the dungeon (even though you don't battle him) in Marco Pollo's Tomb, Phule's Wand. (It gives you Witch Hunter- plus 1 rank). But I think all your other posts are true, like how Kane would be an Uber class- all classes in one.

In the actual historical tale of El Dorado it turned out El Dorado was mistaken to be a city of gold, when in reality it was a muddy village that when the sun set on the village it looked like gold. El Dorado to me is as fake as Avery's concerns for us.

The wand isn't proof that Phule is a Witchdoctor, every fool or jester carried a similar wand as part of their costume - it was called a "ninny stick". The Armada already has a Witchdoctor Elite, this is Bishop ( my apologies if this is a spoiler for you ). It is redundant to have two Witchdoctors among the Elites.
Phule hasn't yet revealed his class, but he has commanded forces, this indicates to me that he is a Privateer.

Indeed yes, the failure to ask a question is a critical plot device in many stories. The Arthurian story of Parsifal revolves around the inexperienced and socially-ignorant Parsifal failing to ask his uncle what ails him, thus requiring the young knight to go on an epic quest to seek the Grail.

Story-wise, as our imaginations fill in the deliberate holes in our pirate's tale, I can not imagine our young pirates fail to ask about El Dorado from those who have been there. We are going to be both naturally curious and desiring to know all we can to prepare ourselves.

Would we be successful? Well, not yet, anyway. The way I see it, fitting into the existing story, Egg Fu Yung would have side-stepped any questions we had. I see Egg as not giving out any information unless it can lead to something that would profit him directly. What about Catbeard (or Argos, too, for privateers)? After all, we will have pleasant evenings in taverns and moments of relaxation or shared watches aboard ship, time enough to ask questions. But such questions may lead to painful or horrific memories that neither Catbeard or Argos are yet ready to share. Catbeard would probably neatly misdirect questions and change topics in a seemingly rambling way; Argos would likely bluntly refuse, though out of affection for his captain soften the refusal into 'another time, perhaps, Captain'.

Ok, this may be off topic, but I began thinking of El Dorado, and everything we've been told about it. "A lost city of solid gold"! Has anyone imagined how massive this city would be? How heavy and what allows it to remain 'afloat' in it's skyway? What if, it's not a city? What if the entire island is a war ship? With the ability to use it's stormgate to go anywhere in the spiral? Wouldn't that make it extremely dangerous and explain why the Armada wants to get it in their possession? Just a stray thought of mine.

Anyone remember me? hehe.

Anyways, after reading the last few pages I wondered. What if, Avery or someone deep within the top Pirates circulation are associated with the Armada, which includes a main story quest including betrayal, which it seems that the Armada are always toe to toe if not higher then us with the race for all the pieces of the map, it seems like they always know what we're up too.

Or also, what if the Armada wants to go to El Dorado, for the sake that they know there's a power there to connect the two worlds of W101 and P101 (i know, in same spiral. but i mean as in a short cut between the two areas in the spiral) and in such, the Armada can use that shortcut or whatever, to somehow rule over the wizards, and then rule the spiral perhaps?

It's nice to see your name again appearing on the boards, welcome back!
Pirates are nefarious, many would sell their grandmas to get extra gold ( even their grandmas may want to sell their grandkids )! So I wouldn't be at all surprised that the Armada has spies everywhere.

I don't exactly know who Phule is or what he looks like, but I do know that the Armada is very evil and that they are machines. Captain Avery said not only that Kane is smarter, stronger, and faster than any living being, but also that the Clockworks are heartless, soulless, and ruthless. He also said this:

"...Lost control of their puppets! And they are puppets: Clockworks aren't alive, like you and me. They run on gears and wires; heartless, soulless, and ruthless." You see, one of my biggest speculations is "Who made the Armada?" I'm Level 22 now, and in that same Armada Puppet Show Avery said this, too:

"...Clockworks were invented by some genius in Valencia." All he said about the inventor of the Armada in at least that Puppet Show was they were invented by only "some genius in Valencia". He didn't say who, why, when, how, every one of those w's (even though how is not a w) except for where. I'd really want to know who this "genius in Valencia" is. Don't we all whose level is around 20?

And for those of you (non-members or Pirates below Level 20) that don't know about this Puppet Show, spoiler alert! Deacon is not in charge - I thought he was at first. Deacon is the spymaster of the Armada, not the Commander. Deacon works for the Supreme Commander, and that is Kane. So don't fear (or want to fight, like I do) Deacon as much as Kane, even though Deacon imprisoned you. It was Kane's orders to imprison you, and Deacon and the others actually do the job for Commander Kane. By the way, here's an intercepted Armada letter on this link (still in Pirate101.com).

I like the armada. they may have killed my parents but you got to respect them, metal ships (all other ships are wooden) giant army and navy, best engineering in the spiral, there able to build things that could blow up islands (they basically have a death star) there troops can go on fighting forever unless they are defeated, its basically useless to fight them over and over for when you destroy one a bunch more come out of the assembly line, they can take over a skyway with ease (when we first get to marlybone for example) they have all the advantages basically. considering how many we've all smashed and put them together its a big number but still puny to there entire army size. really if we defeat Kane, bishop and phule, (possibly the queen) there will be still a ginormous amount left which will take years to clean them out. plus they look pretty cool.

Yes, Sparticus32, and they want to take over the Spiral with no place for Pirates! Mr. Nightingale, I think we all want to save our own race of Pirates. I also think we all (even you, Sparticus32) hate the Armada, because of what they did to our parents and to us (imprisoned us) and they tore apart their own city, and are going to tear apart Valencia, and then the Spiral! I have a friend, Dead-eye Nathan Strong, who should meet you because you both like the Armada. And why should you have respect for robots?

If the Armada is your friend, then Boochbeard and Mr. Gandry are your enemies. Yes, the enemy of your friend is your enemy.

Yes, they look very cool, but it doesn't matter what they have, what they look like, or whatnot, but it matters who they're fighting for. If a Clockwork turns to the Resistance to fight against the Armada, then sure! I'd gladly take this Clockwork on my Crew and have him be my Companion First Mate!

And it does seem the bad guys always have the good stuff. By the way, you said they basically have a Death Star (like from Star Wars). Well, guess what happened to the Death Star? Both Death Stars exploded! Yes, exploded. By whom? The Resistance, of course. The Ewaks used little slingshots and things and the Dark Side had Stormtroopers and crazy awesome weaponry, but the Ewaks (and the Rebellion, of course) won!

Thanks, Good Hunting, and may the Resistance live on,

If we go back to the thing on chess I have discovered that Phule is a bishop

Why? So I had his mask on and a peice of clothing looking very much like his outift and my mum walks past (she is Italian) and looks at my character and says, are you the Italian gaurd!

Bishops are also referred to as guards in chess so Phule is supposed to be a gaurd or bishop in the armada's game of chess

Oh yeah, if there was a controller in El Dorado then they could just order the Armada not to come to El Dorado. About the forces awakening in El Dorado, that's an awesome idea. What if your parents' spirits were in the lost city of gold and their crew was there too? In Aquila, remember how the Eleusinian Guard at the entrance to the Mysteries wiped away our memories of our childhood? Maybe our parents will have to try to awaken our memories!

I guess you missed my post where I discussed that there is a variation of chess called Jester Chess - it's played on a 10 x 10 board with an extra piece called a jester. Look it up, it's very interesting what this piece does.
Jester = fool = Phule.
