Ahoy mates, The February 15th date of our Valentines sail aboard the Royaliste is drawing near. In honor of valentines past and present, we'll be blasting printed photos of ex-sweethearts out of the Royaliste's cannons. If you'd like to join in the fun, post a photo of your ex, your lawyer, your boss or anyone else you'd like to have made into cannon fodder and we'll be happy to oblige you. (please note we may be blasting groups of exes if we get a large response.) p.s. Desert Pyrate, I have yours, but I think that your photo and especially the epitaph you wrote to be read aloud are priceless- would you mind reposting them here so that the other pirates can read i…

--2024 EVENT SCENARIO-- It is early 1718. For the last two years the ramshackle and ruined port of Nassau Town on New Providence island has been home, not only to the crew of the Scavenger, but to the hundreds of other pirates that make up the Flying Gang. Nassau had been barely populated since the raids during the war more than a decade prior, that is until the treaty was signed. At first the flow of new arrivals was slow. Out of work sailors here, the occasional escaped indentured servants there, but after the hurricane in 1715, the influx of Spanish gold, and with it the appeal of easy riches the trickle had grown to a deluge. When the Spanish returned and chased th…
