i suggested this one before but with all the new additions to the game this would actually fit in nicely.

this feature would also be very helpful protecting the newbie and mid-level players the most by giving them more protection for their gold.

what i suggest is adding a new feature to the treasure chest by letting pirates bury their gold on islands of their choice.

1. location of buried treasure would be listed in the treasure chest
2. maximum gold you can bury per chest would be 5k
3. maximum amount of chest per player would be 10
4. premium accounts could bury 20
5. other pirates could steal all of your buried gold
6. stolen gold would show up in attack logs.
7. newbies could steal big players buried gold
8. gold could be "dug up" from the treasure chest so newbies could access it quickly for upgrades

all the tools for this feature are already in place, im sure capt could set this up pretty easily. higher players with 600k-1million upgrades would get very little benifit from this feature, exept for finding someones hidden gold :)

what is a pirate game without burying treasure chest and finding/stealing others hidden booty

since we have lost the ship sinking feature the game has become very very quiet , i remember when they first introduced ship sinking... everyone went nuts, even i spent 40 bucks on moves that month lol

we just need something new to keep us interested and hidden treasure chest fit right into the theme.

i just think this would be perfect for newbies who could island hop safely without fame while getting the odd 5k bonus here and there

as far as i knew..all ships were out to be sunk after 100 hits
or are we all just that bad at sinking ships,we couldnt sink the side of a barn

i dont think they took it out but its obviously not working right.

last ship i sank was mid-june ,

when its fixed it would be cool to have 2 opportunities to score 5k in 1 action , once the game picks up there could be hundreds of hidden treasure chest maybe 1000's if the admins allow more than 10 per player.

and if a player quits his chest would remain out there until someone finds them even if he sinks.

There is nothing wrong with ship-sinking.

There was a chunk of time where no one was sinking because the signups worked out that way -- that's all.

so does the treasure chest idea have any merit?

Yes, it does.

I've been trying to work on a lot of things recently, and my last few developments (to make things better, faster, stronger) haven't been received well... haha

I read and consider every single post on the forums. :-D

the only problem I have with this:

The only ones that would be burying their gold would be the smaller players who want to protect their gold since they keep getting smacked

I would find no use to bury my gold if my defense was of the elite

here are some thoughts to try with this feature:

1. Only be allowed to search 3 islands a day for buried treasure
1a. When you search for a treasure chest and find it, it tells you whose gold is buried there, so you are able to pick...(if you see a nobody and a top player, who do you think people will pick?)

this feature would benefit the smaller players the most, it would even help the players who are doing 100k upgrades too. having their gold hidden in 10 different chest would minimize their chances of losing all their gold in 1 chest. and they could hide it when they are low on moves with high fame, minimizing losses

also i didnt explain correctly that pirates would only have a small percentage of finding your hidden gold, perhaps as easy as finding a .10 silver pearl .

my fear about this feature is that it may inflate cashout by having too much gold hidden on islands, i guess gold could always be deducted from the cashout amount when buried and re-added when found.

i would certainly use this feature myself of my defence is nowhere foolproof

your right striker we all would be searching them more , i wasn't crazy about pearls when they first came out but i really like them now (even if all i got were copper pennies).

I sure would love treasure chest after this message lol

"Congratulations, you have found CSStriker's hidden treasure, you found 5000 gold pieces"

im sure you would be looking for me that day for some revenge too lol

i also dont think any extra actions should be added to the islands, it would be much easier for it to be part of the random generator and it wouldnt add any strain to the server that way. i guess there would have to be somewhere to click "bury your gold" on the island and the rest could be controlled from the treasure chest.

sure would be sweet to get a bunch in a row like this

"Congratulations, you have found CSStriker's hidden treasure, you found 5000 gold pieces"
"Congratulations, you have found CSStriker's hidden treasure, you found 5000 gold pieces"
"Congratulations, you have found CSStriker's hidden treasure, you found 5000 gold pieces"
"Congratulations, you have found CSStriker's hidden treasure, you found 5000 gold pieces"
