Walk My Plank is a pirate themed online RPG (role playing game).

When you join Walk My Plank you'll be thrown into the deep end of the Caribbean, where you'll require both brains and brawn to make it to the top. Choose which path to take as you build your stats, and climb the ranks of the legendary pirates.

What sets Walk My Plank apart from other text based RPGs are a multitude of things to do, from searching for buried treasure, exploring the seas, smuggling goods and trading, all while completing epic quests. Walk My Plank has regular updates so there's always something new.

Start playing and keep playing to unlock more features, opportunities and discover more areas to pillage, while plundering and keelhauling your rivals!

The First Changing Winds Implementation (26 Feb 2013 7:50:59 pm)
You may now be able to take two crew education courses at once! [more...]Recently a new highly moderated forum was started called Changing Winds: http://www.http://walkmyplank.net/forum.php?id=11

This forum is about empowering our player-base to directly influence the direction of this site by, making suggestions and decisions on the development of Walk My Plank.

The first implemented player suggestion is the ability for members with admiral, privateer and explorer days to be able to take two crew education classes at once. http://www.http://walkmyplank.net/thread.php?id=42954

The game code has now been updated to allow this.
"You can only take one course at a time, unless you have all Admiral, Privateer and Explorer days, in which case you can take a second course. If taking a second course at the same time, the second course takes 50% longer to complete for the duration that two courses are active."

Caveats:

  1. After winners are announced, they do not become official until 24 hours after the announcement. If there are any disputes or discrepancies, one or more prizes may be redrawn within that 24 hour period. After 24 hours, all winners are final and no further correspondence will be entered into.
  2. Please note that if you are outside of the United States, I will do my best to ensure you are able to get the listed prize, but if it is not available in your area I reserve the right to substitute cash or a similar prize of the same value from a retailer in your country.
  3. If your chosen prize is no longer available due to supplier difficulties, a similar prize of equal value may be substituted after consultation with the winner.

A big thank you to everyone who has donated this round. Without you, we could not run the game with the required bandwidth and on the expensive hardware and these prizes would not be possible!
