I was wonderin, I havn't seen many of me fellow crew. I think Diego and Rummy are the only ones I've actually had the pleasure of meeting. And those avatars and profile pics are too small ta be seein with me dead lights. So I was thinkin that I should start a thread, so me mates can be puttin pics up o themselves in their Pyrate garb. Also ya can post if thar be a particular someone o the crew that you would like ta be seein a pic of.

I located this post over in Beyond Piracy, posted by Capt. Morgan (April 20, 005) and thought that it would be of help to the new people here. It's a short quiz kind of thing. Try it out, for those who are having a hard time trying to think of a name for themselves. My Pirate Name or if you aren't happy with that one, try this one: Pirate Name Generator

Back in 2009, Haunting Lily and I began a thread to consolidate discussions from all parts of the Pub regarding 'How to Get Started at PIP' (Pirates in Paradise). Since so many people were asking us about basic clothing, tents, weapons, and every other kit you can imagine, it was beneficial to have it all in one place. Having a list at out fingertips saved us a lot of time. Fast forward to 2012 and we're still sending people to that thread, which remains buried in one of the crew sub-forums where most people never notice it. I spoke with Lily today and asked her if I could move the materials in that thread to the Crow's Nest, but after looking it over, I've decided to…

With the return of the Pyracy Pub comes the reanimation of Pyracy Pub Gift Exchange! I'm looking for a crew, from far locations, willing to come together for a special mission.

Meet your Admin / Moderator Team Hello my name is Kimberly but I am known as The Black Syren . I am a Texas native and have always been fascinated with pirates and buried treasure. Grew up close to the coast so during the summer or on weekends I was always at Crystal Beach or riding the ferry to Galveston. The ferry became my pirate ship and I have been hooked ever since. However, I did not know about the Pyracy Pub till The Curse of the Black Pearl came out. I began looking online for others who shared my interest. I had no idea how many shared my interest till I signed into the Pub. Of course, signing in meant coming up with …

How to use Discord for Chat Our Discord channel is a wonderful resource for asking and answering questions in real time. I recommend downloading the ap to your device of choice, but a perusal computer is highly recommended. There are two parts to the channel. ‘Written’ is for text communications, pictures and video, and can be seen even when using ‘Parlay’. ‘Parlay’ is a voice option, where participants can listen and/or speak to one another. When using ‘Parlay’ we recommend getting a good pair of headphones with a microphone and setting your voice and video settings to ‘Push to Talk’. This costs out background noise, feedback a…

Now... always pondered about what a colonial town or city would be like with all of you! All of us living so close together (God and heaven help us all) in a colonial like town but with certain amenities (Those things we cannot simply live without and are necessary). So... If we had a colonial style town - say like Williamsburg, but a port town like Charleston - what would your business/career/trade be? What would your home look like? Would you be in town or outside of town? Just have fun with this, mates! Me? Well, my home would look much like the Kershaw-Cornwallis house (I've been in this house a few times, LOVE it)... My trade? Perhaps be one of the seamst…

What was it that lured you to piracy? I'm guessing that every pirate here has a tale to tell of how they joined "the sweet trade" I started out writing in a cyber novel on Pan Historia. In order to write with some level of respectability, I started researching pirates and their history. I was fascinated by the contradictions- The advanced level of democracy and disregard for race and social class standing among shipmates, coupled with absolute brutality and disregard for human life and suffering. I started reading and reading and reading. Pretty soon I was hooked. Years before, I'd been involved in a wild west gunfighters reenactment group and wanted to do something…

Who has them. As far as pirates go, I have a pretty cowardly idea about receiving pain. But I really want to get me one. What do you have and on a scale from one to ten how bad did it hurt? Do you think some spots hurt more then others? I may do this while I'm at Pirates in Paradise. OK show me some pics.

I think we have all the problems ironed out.... (more in a later post) Here's how it works.... Everyone that wants to participate, post thier name and approxamately where they live....

On or befor the first of the month, you mail the sketchbook to the person after your name on "the List".....…

Hi- I'm new to the forum, and I'm wondering about garb. I see there is a schism developing between authentic historical re-enactors, and Hollywood pirates. I've been lurking in the pub for a while, trying to do some research and am in the process of putting together my new outfit. I've got some ideas, some new skirts and bodice, and weathering them and my weapons appropriately. My garb is a combination of both, I try to have a foot in both camps shall we say. I know that footwear is usually the last thing to be authentic..I have a pair of blundstone boots under my skirts, with buckles attached. You can't tell from a distance, but I'll hopefully have something a bit more…

I'm hosting a secret gift exchange this year. Those of you who've been around know we've done this for the last several years with a reasonable amount of success and a few of us/you were looking forward to it again this year. So here's how its going to work: Who is eligible: In the past we've limited the enrollment to only established members of Pyracy Pub. I'd like to continue that. So the general enrollment in the Gift Exchange will be for members who've been around six months or longer. I would be willing to run a separate New Member Exchange for people who've joined in the last six months. I feel that this would put those people on equal footing, as both parties w…

It's time for the Secret Gift Exchange.

So here's how its going to work: Who is eligible: In the past we've limited the enrollment to only established members of Pyracy Pub. This year, I'll simply split the participants into two categories one for established members and one for enthusiastic newcomers. I feel that this would put those newer members on equal footing, as both parties would be taking a risk with unknowns. Regardless of membership status, by signing up you solemnly agree tha…

Yup, it's that time again. Things to remember: 1. There is no price limit 2. Be sure and get your gift to your person in a timely manner Every year we have 1 or 2 people who slack off and don't get their gifts in the mail until after Christmas and some have never received anything. This really isn't a good way to be a good pirate, so if you're in money straights, please don't sign up for this. 3. Names will be drawn randomly, if you have participated in the past, I may still have your address, if you have moved, give me your new one - PM me for that. 4. The cut off date for participating is November 25 (the day before Thanksgiving) in order for all who wish to part…

Iffn' ye met anyone here from the pub out in the real world, tell us about it. Phone calls count too. For me I have met: Captain Morgan-best damn Disneyland trip with him thus far! RumbaRue Diego Rummy Captain Wolfy Wench-a member here, but doesn't post often enough Captain Grey-I saw her briefly at Comic Con one year, but didn't get a chance to really talk with her. Captn' Jack Sparrow aka Wade-only have talked with him on the phone a few times. Merrydeath-haven't met her, but had talked on the phone with her a few times. Pyrate Phil-well, haven't met him yet, but talk all the time either on the phone or IM chat.

OK, I've got a general question for the board, based on a couple of things. First, I just got back from PiP in Key West. Now, granted I couldn't stay the whole week and left before many things even started, but I kind of felt out of place. Definitely a re-enactor among a group of Faire Folk. I even heard some talk among the Faire Folk about whether to remove fox tails, etc, and how 'faire' they could look. On another thread over at Captain Twill, Cap'n William says that he tailors his look and expectation to the event. So here's the question, or actually questions. Do the patrons of this pub consider themselves Faire Folk or re-enactors? Do you change your clothing…

It's time for the Secret Gift Exchange. Those of you who've been around know we've done this for the last several years with a reasonable amount of success and a few of us/you were looking forward to it again this year. At least according to the informal poll I posted last week… So here's how it’s going to work: Who is eligible: Any current member of the Pub is eligible. If you’ve only been around a few months, I’ll pair you with someone else in equal standing. The understanding being that this would put those newer members on equal footing, as both parties would be taking a risk with unknowns.
