What do ya call a pirate .. that no longer wishes to be a pirate? That is .. one who has been a pirate (for years) .. then decides to leave the ship? The pirate is not forced to "walk the plank"; not "thrown overboard" .. the pirate just leaves? Is there a "pirate term" for that? Is there a "pirate term" for desertion?

The name's Jack Stifler. Captain of the Scavenger and her crew. I live in Sarasota, Florida, and host a very popular event down here called Pirate Bash. I found these forums accidentally while looking for costumes for my crew, and it's the best Pirate Forums I've seen. So, in short, nice to meet you all, and I hope to be here for a while.

There already is a thread on “Period Camping” This discussion is on “Pyrate Camping.” The tents and gear that people and groups take when they go to a Pyrate event. Pyrates as seamen, wouldn’t really have had the tents, tables and gear that we use when we set-up a camp at an event. About the only time that Pyrates would have camped would be when they were careening their ship, and then they would have used what was available to make a camp. Lashing spars together, and covering them with old sails would make a cool looking camp, But isn’t always practical for an event. Wall tents, wedge tents, lean-tos are period tents, but I don’t think that they would have been carried…

Whensomever I finish writing a script, serious drinking is necessary. As the weather out is frightful - well, rainy, dark, and depressin', anyways, I'll buy a round here for folks to enjoy. And after a month or two o' tinkerin', it might actually be worth staging somewheres or other. Cheers to ye all!

Greetins all~ Not sure where t post this so I'm startin here. The Historical Maritime Combat Assoc has found a publisher for their upcoming book on maritime fighting styles. The text is done, the publisher has accepted the job, but the only thing left is photos. We would like to use the deck of a ship, be it schooner, brig, etc. something that looks relatively 18th-19th century. It doesn't need to even be seaworthy, just provide us with the backdrop for about 200 photos illustrating boarding weapons actions. The HMCA isn't making anything on this venture, in fact we're paying to have it done, so I'm afraid all we can offer is credit in the acknowledgements section to t…

Just curious to know what you all think. EXCLUDING the cast of POTC and Keith Richards, which well known persons do you think would be a good modern day pirate? My first thought would be "Dog" the Bounty Hunter and Ozzy Osborne, and (for Captain Rummy) Alice Cooper.

I've been looking off-and-on for the font used to spell out "Pirates" and "Caribbean" on the Pirates of the Caribbean cover art. So far, I've found an impressive collection of gothic fonts, but none of them are that particular font. Does anyone know if and where this font (or a re-creation thereof) exists anywhere on the Internet?

Thanks for taking my previous unscientific poll. Here's yet another. I won't even bother defining each. Though I have my own definitions, I'm curious as to how each of you see these terms, and if you even see distinctions between them.

Alas, the piracy bug hath bitten me, and bitten me hard, for I feel infected with the urge to dress and act piratey all over again. Anyhow, I decided to put my pirately urges into something constructive, and have been working on a pirate name generator. As it is, I believe it's lacking in a few departments - so, I'd consider it a great favor if you'd all check it out and give me some suggestions as to words I could add so as to give it more variety. Pirate Name Generator I'll probably make a few more pirate-related generators in the future. Like ship names and pirates. XD

These online name generators have always seemed a bit random to me. I was wandering if there was a formula for finding your pirate name, in the same way that there is a formula for finding your pornstar name. first pets name + mothers maiden name = your pornstar name (Bud Fox in my case ) or the formula for finding your romance writer name. Second name + the street where you live = romance authers name (Richard Greenstead) Please bear in mind that this is a work in progress, but here is a first attempt at a pirate name formula. Here it goes. Colour of your car/vehicle(or your front door if you do not drive) + The part of your body that most recently needed medica…

Any cannon at all! Big field or deck pieces, as part of a crew? Smaller personal pieces? How many actually shoot projectiles? Mate Jan and I shoot cannon (powder only) : six pounder field piece at the Chalmette Battlefield. I just a few days ago got a 1" bore, 1/4 scale model naval piece. I have to finish drilling out the vent hole before it's firable. Would be interested in hearing from any of ye "big boom" lads and lassies! What sort of piece(s) do ye fire? What size? Iron or bronze? Projectile or just powder? Etc.! Capt. William
