Lilith Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 I really don't have to worry about that until my brother's kids come over on Christmas Day. As for your cats, they are very well behaved.

The Doctor Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 As for your cats, they are very well behaved. Aside from Selena stealing pillows in the middle of the night, Caleb using the stairs as a scratching post when he wants to be chased, and Jack Jr. playing hockey with my wife's spools of thread, yes. They're well behaved for being spoiled brats. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 Thank you for all your kind words of welcome everyone... Gosh, there are a lot of interesting people and outgoing people here about. Thank you, Mad Jack, Mad Matt, False Ransom, Cheeky Actress, Captain Sterling, CrazyCholeBlack, Kass, Jacky Tar...(gee, I hope I haven't forgotten anyone ) for making me feel a bit more relaxed and at home here. Grab the drinks of your choice...Champange, False Ransom? Odd drink for a Pirate, don't you think? And by the looks of the friendly banter, the lot of you know each other quite well, (or am I assuming too much)? As for the question which Capt'n Sterling asked of me: "So what undiscovered territory do ye still wish to explore?" I would have to say EVERYTHING about this hobby. Got bitten by the Pirate bug back when Cut Throat Island came out. Yes, I know not the best movie to referrence pirates by but it was a start. I've live by water most my life because my Dad was in the Navy...but really never fancied it until I got the bug. Now I snatch up anything I can regarding the topic. It's funny. I found this site by spelling pirates wrong . I hope to be able to learn from better sources and perhaps make a few chums along with way! (Raising Glass)...To you Mates!

Aurore Devareaux Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Welcome to you, Madame. A fine subject of interest you have chosen and may it give you as much pleasure as it has the rest of our lot. As a suggestion, you may wish to procure a text called Under The Black Flag by David Cordingly. A wonderful primer on the subject and quite enjoyable to read. Enjoy your stay....Oh....and mine tithe to be collected? A glass of Cuvee Du Cent-Cinquanternaire, s'il vous plait. Merci, Madame.

CrazyCholeBlack Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 And by the looks of the friendly banter, the lot of you know each other quite well, (or am I assuming too much)? Thars a big combination o how people know each other round ere. Some are in crewes together, some have met at events, some are in some of the RPG threads together, some get to know eachother through PM's or phone calls or the chat (when it's werkin). tha one thing we all 'ave in common is that we're all friendly n always willin ta add another ta tha party.

Yes, I've been picking over the bits there since yesterday. Oh, there is so much to take in. It is a good start and a lot of pictures to boot...which is always helpful.

Capt. Sterling Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 some are in some of the RPG threads together Sorry CrazyCholeBlack, but what is the RPG threads? Role playing threads... such as The Watch Dog, Port Royal Jamaica, and I believe False Ransom has started a new one... Relentless and Rakehell (or perhaps the other way round, beggin yer pardon Ransom). You can find the above in Rabble Rousing...

Are there rules like staying in first person (or third person)? Hmm...sounds like fun! Depends on the thread... you create your own character and "flesh" them out in the posts you write, trying to keep inline with the game's topic and whatever rules they have laid down... for instance in Port Royal, we try to keep it historically correct...ahem... but we have all taken our own personas and try to build on them there, so when we attend an event, we have a "history"... much easier to stay in character before the public then...

CrazyCholeBlack Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 ...ahem... ...ahem...? Watchdog is invite only if I recall correctly. R&R and Pirate Hunters Smarter Brother are jump in the waters fine. Best advise though is to read back a bit (if not the entire thread) so you know what's going on & who's who. That really helps you not only find your place in the goings on, but to "know" everyone. Lookin forward ta seein ye around more Lilith!

I see that you are the Captain of the Archangel. How did you choose that name for your Ship? I find it interesting that you have an assortment of people. You know, they aren't all pirates. I see an Actress, A Doctor/Rake, and oh and that Reggie Killingsworth sounds like a blast! I guess I will have to give it a bit of thought and come up with my character's background as well as motive.
