One of my favorite events was the all kingdom pow-wow organized by Bosh, then ruler of Samurai (you can see a screen shot from this in Draenin's post). One of the conditions imposed by Samurai was that they would have escort boats sent to each kingdom, to escort the leaders from that kingdom who would be attending the event. No other boat traffic was supposed to occur to interfere with the ambassador's arrival or interfere with the sanctity of the Samurai home waters. Well, of course upon hearing this big crock-o-crap, I got the CP leaders together and we planned for the introduction of chaos and disaster. Sure enough, on the day of the event we sunk the Samurai escort boat, invaded the Samurai home waters with 8 ships and basically sank the whole lot of Samurai, some poor Zorimte transport ships and anything else that moved. Oh yeah, and we blockaded the island. It was fun to sit in the event and watch Bosh and crew fume and get distracted over the goings on outside while trying to maintain civility. The Pirate heroes that day were Harbormaster Cheops, Mayor Zeltino and a host of others. Yet another event where CP members answered the challenge, showed up en masse, and demonstrated great skill and loyalty.
((One of the post-event happenings in the forums was great as well. A member of Samurai accused a CP noob of talking OOC during the boat event, saying we needed better RP enforcement. To which Cheops responded that Samurai wasn't exactly a role model in this department, unless "wtf my boat is glitched" is Japanese for something to do with outstanding RP
