Post; Become a Pirate - Online!


Always wondered what it would be to be a pirate, but no cash/time to make the trip to Somalia? Well, here goes: Just tried it out and made some serious money (190.000 in 6 days, 5 attacks out of 7):

Cutthroat Capitalism, An Economic Analysis of the Somali Pirate Business Model (by DangerRoom): http://www.wired.com/special_multime...italismTheGame

Easy to play, hard to win (gotta love the negotiation part... )!

Have fun!

Yep. Get a nice cruise ship, set the price to 15mil and then kill 3-4 of them. Easy as pie.

Well, tred that (you know this pirate business is all about trial an error ), but it always was "Naval Forces" for me and had to pay a lot to my crew w/o making anything...

Last go: 980.000 $ from 20 executed attacks (11 valid).
