Award Categories

  • Devious Disguise
    • Awarded to pirates who are most effectively able to conceal their true appearance, whether that involves dressing up to deceive others, making use of the Barrel Disguise Emote or spying on other players – the key is achieving something without being spotted!
  • Hilarious Hider
    • They may know you’re here, but finding you is another matter. Awarded to pirates who manage to sneak, dart, dash, tuck and successfully evade your pursuers – all until whatever dirty deed you’re undertaking is complete.
  • Scaring is Caring
    • It’s the Halloween season, so fright feels right. Whether you’re using voice chat while hiding to ‘haunt’ a ship, popping up unexpectedly while equipped with a horrifying curse or lobbing a well-timed blunderbomb, your success will be measured in screams.
  • Snazziest Steal
    • They have treasure. You want it. Maybe that means scoring the perfect harpoon hit to swipe loot out of a pirate’s hands, lurking at a Skeleton Fort to grab the Stronghold Key or blowing a crew overboard with the Horn of Fair Winds before leisurely helping yourself to their stuff.
  • Trickiest Trap
    • Let them play right into your hands! This award goes to pirates who use a combination of deceit and tools to cause others to enact their own demise – that could be a blade trap, a buried Gunpowder Barrel, or a room full of caged, angry snakes…
  • Perfect Prank
    • Sometimes, messing with someone’s mind can be just as effective as a blunderbuss. Convince another pirate you’re the Official Treasure Inspector, move all of their loot into the crow’s nest, make them believe you’re part of the crew or fill their barrels with burned bananas – creativity is key!
  • Admirable Ambush
    • They never saw you coming. Perhaps it was the rowboat you used to ferry your whole crew onto their ship, or that perfect cannon shot which got you exactly in place to drop their anchor and unleash Bone Caller chaos. Whatever works, works…
  • Guardian Angel
    • Stealth doesn’t have to be selfish! Provide treats instead of tricks by sneaking treasures aboard someone’s ship, leave breadcrumb trails of shiny objects to guide players through a riddle or Tall Tale, or tuck aboard and lend a helping hand with repairs. Just don’t give the game away!
