Ahoy there! :pirate_flag:

Longtime member of the Plodding Pirates community here, just wanted to write in to show my support for this project. Over many months I’ve watched the PP team overcome countless obstacles and work tirelessly to do what’s best for the community and the future of the project. A P2E pirate themed MMO is an incredibly appealing idea and I think it will be an excellent addition to the Polygon ecosystem. In fact, I really believe that a metaverse project like this can only be effectively created on a chain like Polygon (fast speeds, low fees, etc…).

Please consider their grant request; seeing the full vision of the Plodding Pirates game/metaverse come to life will be wonderful and incredibly exciting for so many people! :grinning:
