Curse of the Muertos Moon

Jolly Roger sought the ultimate form of revenge for Amo Dorsi making him undead by casting a spell over the Caribbean that would use the power of the moon to convert any pirate caught in its rays to instantly become undead!

This insidious plan was unleashed on the islands in the Fall of the year, and for many horrific nights pirates found themselves in massive sword and gun battles with their fellow buccaneers, shipmates and even guildmates who fell victim to the curse!

Its not truly known how the curse was lifted, but the rumors have it that Captain Jack Sparrow had something to do with foiling Jolly Roger's plot. Whether the curse is truly gone remains to be seen - but this doesn't mean that the wiley spectre isn't hatching another plan.

Game Notes
During the curse, when the moon in the sky appeared as full, any pirate not on a ship at sea or indoors would turn into a zombie (just like in PvP).

When a pirate becomes a zombie, they can openly break the Pirate's Code and attack their fellow pirates. It was understood, that a pirate was free to defend themselves against those that turned by any means necessary.

If killed by a zombie or while a zombie, the pirate would awaken in jail. Zombified pirates would return back as a normal human. Zombies would continue on their spree until the moon had passed.

Fearing for their lives, citizens on the main islands bolted their doors - so anyone outside couldn't bring the curse in with them. If you were outside when it struck - you were left to your fate.
