Cool Ranch: A Sneak Peek!
COOL
RANCH
RANCH
THE WILD WILD WEST OF PIRATE101!
If there is a bright center to the Spiral, Cool Ranch is the realm it is farthest from. A stark, beautiful realm of rocky islands and seemingly endless skies, Cool Ranch is a land of desert, cactus, and tumbleweeds, a wild realm where civilization can be as fragile as a cool breeze.The proud Bison tribes and the nefarious Toads are the original natives of Cool Ranch - all of the frontier's other inhabitants came here from someplace else. The proud Stallions, distant cousins to the Unicorns of Valencia, came to Cool Ranch long ago and built missions and villages throughout the skyways, but their heyday is long over, and now only Santo Pollo remains. The most recent arrivals are the Chickens, Cranes, and other Fowl who came to Cool Ranch from parts unknown - they rarely talk about their homeland, describing it only as "Back East."
A steady stream of bold and enterprising Birds has come to Cool Ranch, hoping to make a new beginning or escape a troubled past. Their skill at industry rivals Marleybone's: the Birds brought locomotives, steam engines, and other modern devices with them. Life has been hard for the new settlers, however: many of the new boom towns soon went bust, and the great railroads now stand empty. But the honest ranchers and townsfolk keep working: there's gold in them there mesas, and there's good money to be made herding the sleepy Buffaloons. The steady demand for refined food and other niceties has nurtured a bustling mercantile trade for ship captains willing to sail that far.
Cool Ranch is a land of legendary figures: heroes like the Chicken Rangers, Wild Bill Peacock, and the masked hero El Toro, fighting lawlessness and standing up for the humble settlers; but the wild frontier has also fostered terrible outlaws like Libirdy Valence, El Guapo, and the dreaded Duck With No Name. Smugglers and pirates have always been drawn to Cool Ranch - far from everyplace, the dusty realm is an ideal place to hide. Indeed, Captain Barnabus Blood, one of the most infamous pirates in the history of the Spiral, is said to have built a hidden stronghold somewhere in Skull Island before his well-deserved end. Blood's treasure has never been found...

Pirate101: Names & Combat Circle
This picture on Pirate101.com makes me wonder if we get to name our companions?
There's a name that seems to say Scarface Steveriker? It's very difficult to make out the name.
But I'm not positive if it's for the Shark who could be our companion or the character.
Either way, this is extremely interesting.
In the P101 Fansite kit, this 
symbol stands for Witchdoctor.
symbol stands for Witchdoctor.
So, see the icons on the bottom? There's a icon for a witchdoctor which could be us
which is I think pretty obvious by our Witchdoctor doll icon in this battle.
I wonder if we will place our companions in those slots and in a certain order we want them to be.
Or it's for our friends who join our battles. If so, means there's five spots either way in the battle.
Not the regular four like in Wizard101!

New Blog Buttons!
I met Cody Skyrider last night while chatting with Anthony Deathbane. I casually asked about my buttons since I was wondering about its design. And Cody Skyrider jumped at the chance to create new ones for me. So I just wanted to say thanks to Cody Skyrider aka @PirateSkyrider. He has generously provided beautiful and cool buttons for my blog that fit it perfectly! I am now naming him Mr. Buttons from now on! ;)
Thank you Cody!!
PS: At this moment, I could not say Thanks on Tweetdeck or Twitter since for me, they are not working. I think the blue bird is on a break. LOL.

PC Gamer: All About Pirate101
In this month's PC Gamer edition, on Page. 38, there's an article about Pirate101. It states that there are about 18 of hundred odd available companions to pick for your crew. And if you complete one of your companion's quests, they will fight better in future fights. And you will travel around on a customizable flying pirate galleon. Then it spoke of classes; Buccaneers tank damage, Musketeers deals damage while the Privateer is a buff class boosting his crew with inspiring yelps. And there were other tidbits we already knew.
Rawr!
Notice the Strong and Precise? Interesting. Must be what the enemies have
that we might have to pick the correct companion with certain skills that can overcome those.
So love this description of how you do the battle.
So much fun!
"Your Crew fell out of the cute tree and hit every branch on the way down."
That cracked me up!
Well, if you want to read the entire article, run to your bookstore and get one! :)
