14 December marks the Four Year Anniversary of guild Wrong Trousers!

Through thick and thin the Wrong Trousers have prevailed and sail on!
Not many others may boast the same!

Even if they do, they still cannot say, "I am in the Wrong Trousers!"

Avast and come about, belikes!

We of Wrong Trousers applaud all guilds and pirates for their exploits and achievements, but also needs must point out the official Leaderboards on the POTCO Community website are still broken and not up to date nor accurate.

I notice the Leaderbaords are still broken.
On July 14, 2010, I recorded my stats thus: Enemies defeated 77528 and ships 14422.
Those were the same stats from a year earlier.
Today I note these: Enemies 79535, ships 14567.
Considering I placed 19th in the last Defeat the Most Enemies Competition, not to mention day to day play, it is obvious the Leaderboards are still inaccurate and not up to date.
Any idea on if or when this will all be fixed?
Thanks!

Fri, Feb 4, 2011 5:11 pm Hi there, Thank you for writing to us. The leaderboards have been a great way for our Pirates to show their skill and prowess in defeating enemies and ships. While the Leaderboards had been under repair many game stats had not been able to update. While this may impact the numbers you see reflected on the boards, all enemies defeated from now on will be recorded accurately. Please understand that we have a very large community of members with a large amount of data that is constantly being collected, interpreted, and then presented for each member for display on the Leaderboards. We apologize for any frustration this has caused you and, thank you again for your concern and feedback. Do not hesitate to contact me again. Should wish for further details, our Live Chat team may be able to provide better insight to what the boards are reflecting for your Pirate.
Best wishes, Randy Pirates of the Caribbean Online Member Services

Thank you very much for the quick reply.
I do indeed understand something like the Leaderboards is quite a task, but I hope you will reciprocate and understand that as a Founder, to see one's stats not reflecting what has been accomplished for over 3 years is incredibly disappointing.
Especially when one looks at fellow Founders and friends known since the beginning, and their stats are obviously up to date. Then again, as another example I will also point out one friend of mine who has not played for at least a year, is still listed above me in stats, and said higher stats were only by a handful of numbers 2 years ago.
 I also have a Guild (among the oldest still active in the Game) which cannot use the Leaderboards to "brag" or recruit new members simply because the numbers are far below what they truthfully should be, and thus people do not believe what we try to say.
May I ask this: Infamy is now going to be introduced, but what has been accomplished by your original unlimited players and not acknowledged is put on a back burner? One might also question how well Infamy will be kept track of in comparison.
I can only quite Captain Jack Sparrow: "I love those moments. I wave to them as they pass by." Please do not let us "pass by". <<

We can only hope, fellow Trousers.

Please visit (and join!) our new Guild forum on the POTCO Pirates Association Fan Site:

Ben Whalebutler just placed FIRST in the Feats of Strength competition.
Cheers to GMs Xavier, Ben Bowman and Ruby, and to all my fine opponents!

To come into line with the policies of some of the POTCO fan forum sites online, we are creating a SECOND website which hopefully will be OK to link to from said Forums.
(Sorry Gamerdna, you have too many "other links" to suit some of the TOS elsewhere.)
THIS site is STILL in operation though!
The 2nd site is underconstruction, but have a look, and Register!

Added two more Guild websites:
