Talderoy

Hold on a second MacKay, why are you adding Satan to the end here? I don't see it in the original text. For all I know, agents of the Black Flame (damn, another cool name), could mean anything from Ozzy Osbourne to some boss level video game character in World of WarCraft - it doesn't say Satan. Now just because a group of adolescents, bored with playing Dungeons and Dragons, got together in 1982 to create a web page that hasn't gotten any attention until we stumbled upon it, doesn't mean we shouldn't use the name. And why are you only asking this question/doing this web search now? I know I looked this up way back when - before I allowed myself to even be nominated or attach myself/persona to it. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Captain Sterling did a search of it early on as well. DAMB !!! Order of the Black Flame was my Second choise !!!!! Dag Nabit!

Nice!It's good to be able to communicate with ye

Though I love children,,,,, I couldn't eat a whole one! Me thinks it might be a maritime charity boats and things naughtical.

I so agree mate!

agreed...as a real preacher/minister, I say let us make it our own and turn it round to an Order that represents the best of the best, who go out of their way to make this hobby better for ALL involved. Agreed! This is ours, our order to make it what we will.

I like the Oder of Larry but then what happens when we vote a Larry in ?We will never hear the end of it! Larry this Larry the Larry's order ;)I'm sick of Larry already!

Ok, now I am worried when the Pirate Hunter can see through me like a port hole.,Am I that transparent ? Ha ha ha, Here it is mates. In the end this order should be a Leviathan of top Pirates. 13 Top examples a year voted for (and perhaps one inductee (Braze;) adding more each year to our Order

I like tridents!!!

Captain you hit the nail on the head, We are an Order and can vote on changing the name if necessary. We can call ourself O L ,The Order, Order of Legend or Order of Larry as it is not the name but the example we set. However I do not have anything to hide and think that changing or name is a set back . I am a pirate and if I'm a little mysterious it goes with the territory. I do not believe there are haters out there that can stand up to the character that this order has in it's members(They will just look stupid). I do however understand a businessman's concern in his public image.

"We are an Order of Light shinning upon those raising the bar in our community!" Please also consider the dictionary definition as we are closer to that then the Devil ha ha, but seriously mates come on??? This has to do more with the serpents on the old maps and high adventure than Ole Nick.We are bigger than worrying about some people thinking a bunch odd pirates are Satan worshipers. Remember this is an Order and you can resign or be voted out and all those in favor of voting out Talderoy for choosing the Satanic name say EYE! t's my choice in the name and it was to invoke(Wait that's a devil worshipers term) Imagination of olde world adventure on the high seas where you worried about things bigger than pirates, SEA MONSTERS. I Believe the name should be edgey. The Order of Unicorns and DO gooders just doesn't do it for me. Anyway from the Horses ass ,,, I mean mouth!

"We are an Order of Light shinning upon those raising the bar in our community!"

We will be donating advertising space to the Charity of choice in the Name of our Order.

I cant say enough. I had the time of my life. Words fall short but just being with so many wonderful pirates/people from all over was a blast. Especially all the singing in the town square late into the Saterday night 3:30

Ye make good points here mate ye surly do, we will make the best of it! In this case we trade weapons for ships. We have both the Pride of Baltimore and the Bounty on dock and sea. This be an event of honor and celebration of top pirates in our community and for that I'll put down my weapons. I will however consider your recommendation of Charleston for next Years honoring the Devil's Dozen into the Order of Leviathan.

NO pyrate CON here mate!!! Only top pirates gathering to salute and celebrate thar own. I'm looking forward to hangin with such wonderful pirates from all over the know pirate world! ( PLUS STYNKY OWES ME MONEY AN I HEAR HE WILL BE THAR!!!!!!)

To the Pirate Community ~ As the Devil’s Dozen Induction Ceremony and Privateer Day draw ever closer, we are preparing to honor our Devil’s Dozen and show our appreciation to all who are attending. It is our goal to provide the best hospitality possible. In that vein, we want to inform you of some recent developments which, despite our best efforts, are the case for this event. After hours of research, permissions and likelihoods, the Captain of the HMS Bounty has determined that there can be no passage to Annapolis on Sunday. Many thanks go out to Kathy Gilbert from Pirates of the Treasure Coast. Kathy works directly with the ship and although a sail to Annapolis on Sunday seemed workable, she can not override the Captains word, nor should she. We’re grateful that the Bounty will be joining us for the event and has invited our Pirates to come aboard for the sea battle and photo shoots. It is possible that the Bounty will remain at the pier during the sea battle and be a defender of the land. We’re waiting to hear whether or not she will be on the water. In either case, our Pirates are invited aboard for the sea battle. We have an alternative and exciting Sunday plan. We are providing our Pirates with admission to an event taking place within a short light rail ride away. Pirates invade RenCon! Please check out their website and plan to join in the invasion. www.Renconvention.com IMPORTANT We all want to wear our dearly beloved props, weapons and such that are so important to Pirate attire. Fells Point Privateer Day, however, is a no weapon event. This raises our dander, much like many others for which wearing weaponry is a very important factor in our attire. After our dander settled and we came to terms with these conditions, we realized that we are coming together to recognize 13 of the most outstanding individuals in the Pirate Community. Set in the most charming seaport town of Fells Point, too much time, effort and funds have been graciously donated to let the weapons issue spoil the fun and memories that we’re about to share. There will be weapons allowed in specified areas for photos. We want to be forthcoming and if the no weapons policy has created a problem for anyone, please know that we understand and apologize for any inconvenience. As much as we respect our Pirates, we also respect the Captain of the HMS Bounty’s decisions and the concerns of the Baltimore City Police Department. It is our intention to make sure that all involved have a good time while with us at Fells Point. We look forward to your visit, see you next week! Sincerely, Pirates Magazine Crew

Oh Really?? Pray, do tell... Now Captain ye be the exception sir! The one Privateer( Pirate hunter !)I think it wise to always know yeer location when yer in familiar waters uhhh hum.

Huzzah to Capt. Sterling!

Mates Mates! The way I see it this is an event to honor top pirates from around the known pirate world ,the Devil's Dozen into the order of Leviathan for Pirates Magazine and a chance to meet and mingle with like minded folk. Me I am always armed to the teeth and I don't carry toys! I agree with points made by Hawkyns and Hurricane(By the way ye will be missed)but this is much more than a weapons fest .We have top pirate mates making the journey and two ships the likes of the pride of Baltimore and the BOUNTY docked on each side of the pier. These fine ships will be taking a select group of pirates (30 that I will be hand picking Devil's Dozen included) out on the water Saturday. Sunday The Bounty will be taking 60 of us on a four trip to Annapolis!! (How we will be getting back I'm not sure yet but I will get ye back,we will get back if me 1st mate Matt has to drive a bus!.) My good mate Jason in charge of this fine event Privateer Day has rules and regulation he needs to abide by. I am offering him my services as head of the goon squad to police the event and gentle ask me fellow mates to accompany me to an area by the Bounty where they can take pictures with their weapons. We will be offering a weapons check at the Pirate magazine booth in hopes to make every ones day me pleasant as not to have to walk to car or back to hotel. Lets help Jason or better yet help me ye SWABS (I'll be looking for goon Squad members) Ill post more as the world turn mates when things are final . Thar arrrr friendly arrrrr ports but let us knot forget ourselfs ,,,us pirates arrrr guests of Privateers and ye know how nervious that lots gets with us pirates. A privateer is nothing more than a closet pirate and we make them nervious we does. SO AS NOT TO BE INCONVENIENCED LEAVE THE REAL WEAPONS AT HOME AND MAKE A BOTTLE OR A TANKARD OR A BELAYING PIN YER PROP ! Thar not toys and ye can keep yar diggnitty ya dogs! ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE !!!! I hear Captain Sterling the Pirate hunter is rumored to be about so take heed mates !Watch our backs or ye might be looking far worse than ye do, and mates lets face it some of you are pretty ugly so beware!!!!!!

Mates this is a top notch event and we have it handled! Come bring your props and act responcible!! The pier will have a performers area .Just come and we will have a great time(WE HAVE IT HANDLED) If you need to check your weapons there will be a lace at Pirate Magazines booth on the pier to store them. Also Drinking on the pub crawl it is not a good idea to carry swords in baldlic or any weapons to make our land loving friends more comfortable.

BRING YOUR PROPS!!!
