It is a dark, gloomy night and the soft light of a distant lantern beckons me. As I approach the pub I hear the ribald voices of the pirates, privateers, rogues and slatternly wenches within. Entering the pub, my eyes dance around the room, surveying the patrons in order to determine if the husbands of my conquests are present. Deciding that I will not die tonight by the blade of a jealous husband, I approach the bar and shout out, “Tavernkeep, I have a bag full of gold and my throat is dry. Bring me rum and drinks for all!”

Ahoy there I've been recommended this site several times, and now I decided to sign up... I'm a 24 year old piratess, living in and roaming Denmark. I've loved pirates for years, so much that I even dress as much pirate as I can daily too. I love to be pirate, to watch pirate movies and to talk about pirates. And to participate in every pirate event I can :) in fact, I just returned today from a very good weekend together with 80 other crazy pirates, for some live RP, and it was really great. I might post my experiences, my story somewhere here, I had a cool character and her story turned out to be more interesting than I ever imagined. It's been the first time I pa…

Sorry about the crimson stains, but I didn't have time to change out of my work clothes. Looking at you all here seems like I might just fit in fine. I've been reading along and finally had the chance to log in. I understand I buy the first round. Oh, but I did wash my hands. And by the way, if there are any ships in port in need of a good limb detachment specialist, I can vouch for my own work.

Rob't is me name, but ye can call me Culli or Culliford. Just don't call me late to the pub! ------------------ Hello everyone! I've been lurking here for a while as I read up on lots of posts and learned a bit about the GAOP reenactors and the community. I was a history major in college (University of Houston for those interested) and have always been fascinated with sea stories and maritime history, including the history of piracy. I was a U.S. Marine for 12 years, eventuall…

Greetin's all. Just sailed in lookin for places to talk pyratey things. Capt Jack Daniels told me about this place. Bit of a background I attend/perform at various local faires. Both as a pirate and medieval/renassaince stuff. I have spent way to much money on this little hobby :) Currently I am about to finish a fun event here in Tulsa called HallowMarine. Put on by the local aquarium. They have set the whole place up as a dock/port area with a haunted sunken ship in the background. Pretty much your typical hollywood pirate type vein. Being pyratical and giving out treasure to small children. Great fun. um...lets see..that's about it... basically just a message to …

This is my first topic so I'm going to start with why I'm here. I am currently researching Madame Ching, whom I believe was an 18th century whore turned pirate. Can anyone suggest, recommend, point me to any resources on the orient in the mid to late 1800s? This would include any information on Ching, her husband, her crew, etc. I've chosen this as the inspiration for my 2006 Nano (National Novel Writing Month) piece and could use all the help I can get. *laughs* not exactly a newbie question is it? Nano starts November 1st and requires 50,000 words by the end of the month. Thanks for sparing me some time. Ebs

My name isn't really Larry...but it sorta rhymes... Anyway, I'm new here. I'm getting into the whole pirate reinactment thing slowly...joining a local San Diego group...the HMS Stranglehold. I'm also going to be playing Long John Silver in an upcoming touring show for Treasure Island. So...it's pretty piratey for me right now.

Who knows their buccaneer and pirate history? Here's the question: This man blamed a famous buccaneer for the death of his brother. Seeking revenge, he attacked the buccaneers' haven filibuster style—taking no quarter. Unfortunately (well, fortunately for our buccaneer!), the assassination attempt failed. Accounts vary but one says he was captured and put to death with two of his lieutenants by being "torn alive on the rack." The rest of his men were hanged. Who was this revenge seeking madman? —Vanderdecken
