Earlier version. This wasn't a normal Ludum Dare compo, it was just to finish something - even if you have been working on it for a long time.
The earlier version was in PHP and used ajax requests to constantly poll for updates for position of things.
The one I did for ludum dare was in Node.js and using websockets, though unfortunately I never got it to work just right.
Creating a nicely working real time web based game and not using flash is surprisingly difficult.

So I finally read a good summary of the pirate thing here:

Cute story. I am surprised people invested so much in him. Does anyone even know his real name and where he lives?
This all gives me great hope for bitcoin. We have bank robberies, fraud, gambling, drug dealing, and all manner of fun that you can only have when you are dealing with something that matters.
Things that normal currency have that bitcoin doesn't (yet):
*Bribing politicians
*Paying ransoms
*Paying for sex
Once we get these, I think bitcoin we will be an officially accepted currency. Sell all the alpacha socks you like, you only count in the eyes of the government when you can pay off politicians with bitcoins.
This is sick! Pirate's NEW boat.

Summed up in a single gif? This is what it feels like to be on Pirate's boat right now.

lol'd moarFresh out of Newbie and seems mainly interested in Pirate threads.
Full Disclosure: I have never, nor will I ever, investigated forum members, for they are all to be trusted, which kinda negates the sticky thread in Newbie entitled "Trust Noone" (or something like that).

Mr. Gage, do you normally investigate forum members?
No, but when I do, I find shit like the following by our good friend Robby Boy.

Seriously, who in their right mind doesn't want to me anonymous? I think he's hiding something.

Author's very first post.
A later post.
While you've been building a Pirate game, people have been playing it for real.
BTW, as many times as you've posted in Discussion lately, how did you not see any of the thread titles?

I'll be accepting payments in bitcoins for full membership. Let me know if you would be interested in playing.

a good summary can be found here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=pirateat40
My summary:
After months of waiting we were made privy to an IRC chat with the "pirateat40" and it turns out:
(drumroll please)
Apparently he likes some show called "breaking bad".
I checked it out.
Super-lame AMA and Govt. control freak vetted production glorifying stupidity and prohibition.
Don't waste your bandwidth.

Ok, so I have no idea what is going on, but who is this pirate guy and what did he do? Also, why is it so important?
