User blog comment:Matthew Goldrage/Quiet Server Invasions/@comment-3143993-20101119014326

I remember one invasion on a quiet server that was a lot of fun. There were a couple of other pirates there initially during the first couple of waves, but they disappeared early on.

When Jolly came, there was a new pirate walking alongside him, and saying that he was on Jolly's side and laughing at me for trying to oppose them. A rather strange pirate, obviously, but he seemed to be having a good time.

Even though the pirate kept asking me to join Jolly's side, I run up with my broadsword and attacked. Since Jolly was now being attacked, the other pirate got knocked out in short order. Of course, he began telling me to revive him, and saying that he had changed his mind, and would now fight at my side.

Of course, even if I believed him (not even for a second), stopping the attack would have resulted in me being knocked out as well. So, he ended up going to jail, and I was alone with Jolly. That was pretty intense. My health kept going down further and further. Finally, I thought it was all over. My health was down to a thread, but, suddenly, victory! I had defeated Jolly by myself, but just barely. I still can't believe how close it was. But, he can be beaten one on one (but it might have been more luck than skill).
