  1. No, I think the signs should be worded just like that!

    See, that's one of the problems we have at this park. The park wouldn't be here if it weren't for the fortress. But, the vast majority of our visitors could give a you-know-what less about the building or the history surrounding it. They're here for the beach, nothing but the beach, so help them beach. The fortress is an afterthought as witnessed by questions we get from the visitors, "So, where's this fort I hear about?" Or, "What's that big building I passed on the way to the beach?" When we do our Civil War Living History weekends, we many times "invade" the beach area and literally shanghai the visitors to our spot. Or, we do a Federal guard mount along the beach during Civil War Days and explain to the visitors that we're searching for southern sympathizers. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

    Perhaps the English should "attack" the pyrate encampments and try to get our visitors involved in some fashion...

    My question being, when ye really get down to it, especially since we don't like the long walk, how many people on the beach are actually going to tramp back and forth from Fort. to camp, back to the fort or battlefield and then to the camp again? Hell let's turn the event into an immersion weekend and just let the tourists wander where they will.... ;)

    Could be then a good way to bring in the tourists, for a Fort attackin th' pirates is that something like a rumor be started, cause enough commotion an such in order to bring about Tourists t' watch? You know, something to stoke th' curiosity so that they follow it, an perhaps stay around to see what happens, an immerse where they will in between?

  2. Thanks Brig!

    I think the only part of that costume I really hated (Besides my molting fur) was the door wreath on my head. Somehow it had gotten broken on the inside, so it was like putting splinters into my scalp each night. When we tried to fix it, it got worse, so I just grinned and bared it.

  3. Convoy- an effective technique from almost the dawn of navies.

    Doesn't directly get rid of pirates, but does make it very hard for these speed boat thugs to capture containerships. Put 15-20 ships with one naval escort and your done. The snivelling will come from shipping companies about time lost based on staging, routes, and speed.

    Or could do how they used to hunt U-boats. Dress a ship up to look like a merchant vessel, and then drop the facade when they get in gun range

  4. Sterling,

    do they have a line attached to the back of the noose, from a harness, in order to insure non choke-age?

    Since yer an adult, ye'll need to come and see... ;) but no matter what, NEVER, EVER put ANYTHING around yer neck

    Oh I'd already planned on doin' so sir.

    Jus' th' actor in me that gets curious when I see well done stunts like this.

  5. Though, not a costume for a con or anything. I am in a Show right now
