Puzzle Pirates has its own section now, at /pirates/. It covers the six oceans that answer today: Emerald, Meridian, Cerulean, Obsidian, Opal and Jade.
- Blockades: every ocean’s board, upcoming and recent, with the island, the flags, the time in UTC and Pirate Time and a countdown.
- Oceans: every colonized island with its governor, ruling flag, population and exports, and the ruling flag’s official fame level from the flag fame lists.
- Pirate lookup and a first-week guide.
How it reads the oceans
Grey Havens’ Third Party Software policy lets software read the oceans’ public pages at the pace of normal manual use. Game Pulse reads one kind of page per 15-minute run: blockade boards every 30 minutes, fame lists and islands every two hours, news every six hours, and a pirate’s page only when someone looks it up, at most once an hour per name.
Why the icons are our own
The game’s puzzle icons and ocean charts belong to Grey Havens; YPPedia shows them with the developer’s permission, and no published policy extends that to fan sites. So the section uses icons drawn for Game Pulse and lists islands in tables instead of on the official charts.
