But no work units!

'Tis but a while ago, I reduced that Templar Seti@home raiding frigate to but 50% allocation, yet still she sails on, while my good pirate ship catches nary a breeze! Not a work unit to be found!

What shall I do, me maties?

Split me bloomers, Beethoven, I knew you are a fine looking man for a wench like me. ;-D

Do as Peter tells you to do, have some grog, but stay on deck, because when the Cap'n set sails to sail out for plunderings on the 7'th sea, and he hands out treasure, it's only for the crew who are on the ship. The crewmembers, who leave the ship like a flock of landlubbers, will get nothing. And no treasure, no grains of gold.

And keep whatever setting you want, when Captain Wormholio hands out treasure, you'll see messages like these in your log:

8/16/2006 5:09:30 PM|Pirates@Home|Starting task wu_1155737904_151_0 using lalanne version 502

and this means that your BOINC manager drops everything else to crunch your treasure, because of the deadline of those. So don't worry, stay on deck, and the grains of gold will fill your purse, slowly, very slowly.

And just a warning, coming here and howl for treasure will get you keelhauled. Or you might even get to taste the cat-o'-nine-tails with your back...
