Ahoy mates, I just joined the forum today and I thought I'd introduce myself. I got into the reenactment business in the SCA around 20 years ago in Buffalo NY...but only stayed around for 2 years or so. I've always hung around the fringes of revolutionary war re-enactment groups and the like and especially enjoyed going to ren faires. Four years ago I started taking along my son, who is now 14 years old. My interest in pirates and privateers has absolutely nothing to do with the POTC movie...well, maybe a little...ok, ok, you got me...I probably wouldn't have found this site if I weren't changing my colors, as it were. I am currently residing in the NYC area. Do …

Being a very recent pirate, I was looking for any and all information of a piratical nature, when I did stumble upon this place. Seems friendly enough (for a bunch 'o pirates that is ) so I thought I'd stay put for a bit. I've filled out my profile a bit; if there's anything else you'd like to know, feel free to ask! Cheers!

I have, of course, come by way of the Pirates movie, although have always had an interest in Pirates, I had no knowledge there were actually groups out there that re-created the pirate life! I am currently a medieval reenactor, medieval swordfighting (broadswords) by way of my 2000 lbs. warhorse. I live in Oregon am 34 - not to old to become a pirate I'd hope - as long as I can have my pirate horse too! Anyway, look forward to meeting you all and have enjoyed the posts I've read so far! tasia

I'm always anxious to learn from other pirates involved in groups, troops or guilds. It helps me in making decisions about Tales of the Seven Seas. What techniques have worked for you in recruiting new members? Which events were the most successful in promoting your group? Which events had the best pirate turn outs? Do you partner with other groups? What does you group do? (skits, meet & greet, sea battles, parades etc) What do you do to promote your group? Got any other advice you'd like to share? What was your biggest mistake? What was the best thing you did?

For the last couple or three Sundays I be showing up for the Sunday evening live chat but, there doesn't seem to be anyone else around and no conversations to join in with. Granted I be showing up on the late side of 10:30 east coast time... Has the live chat thing been happening and I'm just showing up to late?

Anyone with any fresh skinny on the event this year at Dana Point? I've emailed at least 3 times since March, Would like to take my ship down this year, but with no replies, it's a tough sell to just head out. The Californian and the Lynx will be up here in S.F. Bay about the same time, last time we engaged the Chieftian, they were going to be around here.Any sailors with hard info? This West Coast is pretty devoid of locations and events for actual ships to cut loose. Gary

We're new to the pirate scene but have been fairly active in the SCA for a few years. Generally speaking, the overall SCA reaction to anything nautical is cool. (I mean that in the sense of "not enthusiastic"). But the great thing about the SCA is the number of activities it has. Hell, you can fight rapier, fight heavy weapons, make garb, brew, cook, make armour, throw axes, shoot bows (at targets and at people: using padded arrows, of course!). There's even a bit o' black powder usage, though the Society tends to be anti-gun: probably has less to do with contemporary anti-gun bias than with a misguided view of period warfare. I'm curious as to how many pirate crews…

Ahoy all...Anyone from the Greater Pittsburgh area that knows of or would like to start a Renaisance or Pirate society here in the 'Burgh. Sure we have the SCA but they are way to up tight and cloistered. You must have to sell your soul to join them. I have written for information several times and have been ignored. I want an open minded group of people who want to share in the spirit of the times. Post here with ideas or contact me by e-mail look Forward to hearing from all of you... DuCouer

In the last few years, it looks like there's been an increase in the popular interest over anything to do with pirates and such: books, computer games, movies, toys, WEBSITES, festivals, etc... What do you think? Captain Sage

Website restored to June 17 etc.
by Guest Angus MacVox- 13 replies
- 517 views
Something weird happened to the database for the forum so I had to restore it, the most recent backup I had was from the 17th, so all posts after that have been erased. Later this summer I'll be upgrading the forum software to the latest version which should prevent that from happening again. In the meantime, if you make a particularly important post, save a copy to a text file on your computer "just in case"
