Hi! I'm new here. My name is Renate. I'm 19 years old. I'm from the Netherlands. I'm a re-enacter of the Napoleonic period, I love to write (poetry, songs, stories) and I'm into medieval roleplaying. I love pirates of course. I'm a bit of a tomboy myself and I dressed up as a pirate a while ago (although I have no idea where I saved those pics). I'm piratescave her daughter (she gave me the link and I thought it looked interesting so I registered). So I also help out with the website in my spare time (link is in my profile). I don't know what else to say except: Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me! Pirate Power! From Holland with Love, Renate

Hopefully someone here can answer this question that just popped into my head the other day... Does anyone either KNOW or can figure out a way to ESTIMATE how many people are re-enactors AND fantasy pyrates? Failing any firm numbers, I'd be happy to entertain guesses! I'm primarily interested in world-wide numbers, but one country at a time is fine (given the location and membership of this board (just shy of 3,000 - WOW!), I'd expect the most guesses / facts for the US, but I AM very interested in global figures. Thanks for any and all comments / ideas.

In the Pyrates in Paradise thread a discussion came up about Pyracy and Children. One person said that he doesn't enjoy playing the "aaargh" entertaining kind of Pyrate, (He didn't say that he Hates children, he just will deal with them on his own terms) Other Pyrates thought this was a terrible thing. Children are our future. We gotta play along with them.. The Pyrate that doesn't enjoy the "aaaargh" entertaining bit, I'd bet if a child came up to him, and asked and intelligent question, That child would get an intelligent answer. So we all "play" slightly different. Now I kinda fall someplace about halfway between. My girlfriend loves to give out Pyrate kisses (made …

So ya be wanting to know just how the ranking at Pyracy Pub works and what ship duties need to be done ta rise in rank. Well basically, all one has to do is post messages to the forums. The ranking system be a sort of message post counter, the more messages a shipmate posts the higher up in rank said shipmate climbs. Here be the secret formula for figuring out such things, liberated from a previous message posted by the Commodore, BloodyBuckets and reposted here.

http://www.unclejohns.com/skiff/Default.htm I was going to purchase their kit which is 130 for all the wood except the bottom and sides. I am also going to buy their rudder hardware but make my own sail since they only make blue and white(im gunna do black) Here are some pics of the kit done So has anyone ever attempted this? Im a bit worried about the fiberglassing for waterproofing part the rest I think I should be ok with. Has anyone ever fiberglassed something like this that could shoot me some pointers? Also, does anyone know where I can get old hooks and stuff that look like they are from the piratical times? I plan to paint it a wooden color(preferably fi…

Starved for pirate music? Then log on to YarRadio on Sunday mornings 9-noon pacific, 11-2 central, to hear yours truly spinning pirate tunes on the virtual air! YarRadio is the official radio station for the upcoming Pirates of the Burning Sea. Much of the station format revolves around modern and alternative rock, but my own show will be all about the pirate. I will mainly stick to the non-traditional sort of music - Pirate Jenny, Ben Gunn Society, Sforzando, Toucan Pirates, etc, although I'm certain a traditional shanty or two will find its way to me now and then. I'm really excited about this opportunity. Wish me luck and be sure to tune in! Yarrr!!!

Greetings. I'm the new pyracy admin. I work with/for BloodyBuckets as my actual job, and he's asked me to come aboard and help him out. You probably won't find me hanging out and posting socially all that often. I'm here to assist with things like subscription validation, forum structure (you may have noticed some threads moved and a new mod added), and behind the scenes tech stuff. So, right. Ahoy! You're an interesting lot, and I'm glad to help.

Over in the plunder forum there is a post by someone offering up for sail some great knotwork (check it out_ which got me thinking about handicrafts in general. I'm looking for pictures or descriptions of nautical projects people have tackled. Costumes are great but that's not what I had in mind for this thread. Barrels, Sea Chests, Cat-O-Nine-Tails, Seam Rubbers, Coins, Jewelry, Scabbards, Weapons, Scrimshaw (not to period but to 'ell with it), Pipes, Merrels Boards, or anything else you might have fashioned, show us what you've done. Alas, I personally only have some knotwork to my name and that vast bulk of that has been given away but I'm sure some of you out ther…

Avast me hearties. Whilst perusin' tha gift shop at tha San Diego Maritime Museum, I comes across a fun lil' book called The Pirate's Dictionary (by Terry Breverton). Me thinks it may be fun ta use this 'ere thread ta list some piratey phrases from time ta time an' give thar meanin's. Here be tha first listin'.... ABOVE BOARD: One origin of this phrase is that pirates hid "below board" if they were sneaking up on an unsuspecting merchantman. Pirate ships had up to 12 times the crew of an equivalent trading ship. If all the crew were ABOVE BOARD, all was fair and square.

Due to the frustratin', agrivatin', *&^%@# problems with me dial up modem, I had to head out ta sea for a few months to keep me sanity. Fortunatly, it were a profitable voyage, and I came back with enough swag to get DSL. Now I be flying — wind in me hair, cheeks a flappin, eyes tearin' and hangin' on to me keyboard fer dear life. Eeeehaaaa. So, I've dropped anchor and reefed sails on the Rakehell, and am buyin' all here a round, ta celebrate me homecomin'. Cheers.

Hey! Having a bit of insomnia, and found the site so I figured I'd stop by and register. Umm... Suppose I could say a bit about me, then... I'm sixteen years old, and live in the wonderfully boring state of Iowa, where our closest seas are comprised of corn. However, my earliest childhood memories of watching movies involve vague remembrance of Cutthroat Island, Treasure Island, Muppet Treasure Island, Braveheart, (No, not a pirate movie, but it's still one of the five I remember) and The Three Musketeers. (Porthos was always my favorite character, even in toddler years.) May have a bit of piratin' in the blood as well, both sides of the family are full of Navy men a…

My money is on all of us. Ring in if you think your full of yourself as a Pyrate or in any other period of reenactment. My family tells every one that I am so full of myself when it comes to my reenactment . Always talking about it. Always carrying photos around to show, well anyone. What could I say I have to agree. So I'm willing to bet most of you guys are too and you know it. Or am I alone on this one. François
