  8. I was lookin around for a few minutes when I came upon a rather interesting Article [sorry if this has been brought up before] But I thought I'd share it with ye lot and see what ye think. Apparently there was some sort of Pirate Code during the Golden age of Piracym but no complete lists have ever been documented, or so I hear. Well anyway, take a look, I found them rather interesting meself. The Articles of John Philips: 1. Every man shall obey civil Command; the Captain shall have one full share and a half in all Prizes; the Master, Carpenter, Boatswain and Gunner shall have one Share and quarter. 2. If any man shall offer to run away, or keep any Secret from the Company, he shall be marroon'd with one Bottle of Powder, one Bottle of Water, one small Arm and shot. 3. If any Many shall steel any Thing in the Company, or game, to the Value of a Piece of Eight, he shall be marroon'd or shot. If at any Time we should meet another Marrooner (that is Pyrate) that Man that shall sign his Articles without the Consent of our Company, shall suffer such Punishment as the Captain and Company shall think fit. 4. That Man that shall strike another whilst these Articles are in force, shall receive Mose's Law (that is 40 stripes lacking one) on the bare Back. 5. That Man that shall snap his Arms, or smoak Tobacco in the Hold, without a cap to his Pipe, or carry a Candle lighted without a Lanthorn, shall suffer the same Punishment as in the former Article. 6. That Man that shall not keep his Arms clean, fit for an Engagement, or neglect his Business, shall be cut off from his Share, and suffer such other Punishment as the Captain and the Company shall think fit. 7. If any Man shall lose a Joint in time of an Engagement he shall have 400 pieces of Eight; if a limb 800. 8. If at any time you meet with a prudent Woman, that Man that offers to meddle with her, without her Consent, shall suffer present Death. The Articles of Edward Low: 1. The Captain is to have two full Shares; the Master is to have one Share and one Half; The Doctor, Mate, Gunner and Boatswain, one Share and one Quarter. 2. He that shall be found guilty of taking up any Unlawfull Weapon on Board the Privateer or any other prize by us taken, so as to Strike or Abuse one another in any regard, shall suffer what Punishment the Captain and the Majoirty of the Company shall see fit. 3. He that shall be found Guilty of Cowardice in the time of Ingagements, shall suffer what Punishment the Captain and the Majority of the Company shall think fit. 4. If any Gold, Jewels, Silver, &c. be found on Board of any Prize or Prizes to the value of a Piece of Eight, & the finder do not deliver it to the Quarter Master in the space of 24 hours he shall suffer what Punishment the Captain and the Majority of the Company shall think fit. 5. He that is found Guilty of Gaming, or Defrauding one another to the value of a Ryal of Plate, shall suffer what Punishment the Captain and the Majority of the Company shall think fit. 6. He that shall have the Misfortune to loose a Limb in time of Engagement, shall have the Sum of Six hundred pieces of Eight, and remain aboard as long as he shall think fit. 7. Good Quarters to be given when Craved. 8. He that sees a Sail first, shall have the best Pistol or Small Arm aboard of her. 9. He that shall be guilty of Drunkenness in time of Engagement shall suffer what Punishment the Captain and Majority of the Company shall think fit. 10. No Snaping of Guns in the Hould. The Articles of Bartholomew Roberts: (it is possible that an examination of these articles gave the Disney writers the idea for a code laid down by Morgan and Bartholomew, but Captain Roberts was not a contemporary of Morgan's) I. Every man has a vote in affairs of moment; has equal title to the fresh provisions, or strong liquors, at any time seized, and may use them at pleasure, unless a scarcity (no uncommon thing among them) makes it necessary, for the good of all, to vote a retrenchment. II. Every man to be called fairly in turn, by list, on board of prizes because, (over and above their proper share) they were on these occasions allowed a shift of clothes: but if they defrauded the company to the value of a dollar in plate, jewels, or money, marooning was their punishment. [this was a barbarous custom of putting the offender on shore, on some desolate or uninhabited cape or island, with a gun, a few shot, a bottle of water, and a bottle ofpowder, to subsist with or starve] If the robbery was only betwixt one another, they contented themeselves with slitting the ears and nose of him that was guilty, and set him on shore, not in an uninhabited place, but somewhere, where he was sure to encounter hardships. III. No person to game at cards or dice for money. IV. The lights and candles to be put out at eight o'clock at night: if any of the crew, after that hour still remained inclined for drinking, they were to do it on the open deck; [which Roberts believed would give a check to their debauches, for he was a sober man himself, but found at length , that all his endeavours to put an end to this debauch proved ineffectual.] V. To keep their piece, pistols, and cutlass clean and fit for service. [in this they were extravagantly nice, endeavoring to outdo one another in the beauty and richness of their arms, giving sometimes at an auction (at the mast) thirty or forty pounds a pair for pistols. These were slung in time of service, with different coloured ribbands over their shoulders in a way particular to these fellows, in which they took great delight. VI. No boy or woman to be allowed amongst them. If any man were to be found seducing any of the latter sex, and carried her to sea, disguised, he was to suffer death; [so that when any fell into their hands, as it chanced in the Onslow, they put a sentinen immediatelyover her to prevent ill consequences from so dangerous an instrument of division and quarrel; but then here lies the roguery; they contend who shall be sentinel, which happens generally to one of the greatest bullies, who, to secure the lady's virtue, will let none lie with her but himself.] VII. To desert the ship or their quarters in battle, was punished with death or marooning. VIII. No striking one another on board, but every man's quarrels to be ended on shore, at sword and pistol. [The quarter-master of the ship, when the parties will not come to any reconciliation, accompanies them on shore with what assistance he thinks proper, and turns the disputant back to back, at so many paces distance; at the word of command, they turn and fire immediately, (or else the piece is knocked out of their hands). If both miss, they come to their cutlasses, and then he is declaired the victor who draws the first blood.] IX. No man to talk of breaking up their way of living, till each had shared one thousand pounds. If in order to this, any man should lose a limb, or become a cripple in their service, he was to have eighthundred dollars, out of the public stock, and for lesser hurts, proportionately. X. The captain and quartermaster to recieve two shares of a prize: the master, boatswain, and gunner, one share and a half, and other officers one and quarter. XI. The musicians to have rest on the Sabbath Day, but the other six days and nights, none without special favour. [edit - Mission - 4/18/2013] These are the articles listed in Esquemeling's book about the buccaneers (with some paragraph breaks thrown in for readability) in Chapter VI - How the Pirates arm their Vessels, and regulate their Voyages: "The ship being well victualled, they deliberate whither they shall go to seek their desperate fortunes, and likewise agree upon certain articles, which are put in writing, which every one is bound to observe; and all of them, or the chiefest part, do set their hands to it. Here they set down distinctly what sums of money each particular person ought to have for that voyage, the fund of all the payments being what is gotten by the whole expedition; for otherwise it is the same law among these people as with other pirates: no prey, no pay. First, therefore, they mention how much the captain is to have for his ship; next, the salary of the carpenter, or shipwright, who careened, mended, and rigged the vessel. This commonly amounts to one hundred or one hundred and fifty pieces of eight, according to the agreement; Afterwards, for provisions and victualling, they draw out of the same common stock about two hundred pieces of eight; also a salary for the surgeon, and his chest of medicaments, which usually is rated at two hundred or two hundred and fifty pieces of eight. Lastly, they agree what rate each one ought to have that is either wounded or maimed in the body, suffering the __ loss of any limb; as, for the loss of a right arm, six hundred pieces of eight, or six Slaves; for the left arm, five hundred pieces of eight, or five slaves; for a right leg, five hundred pieces of eight, or five slaves; for the left leg, four hundred pieces of eight, or four slaves; for an eye, one hundred pieces of eight, or one slave ; for a finger, the same as for an eye; all which sums are taken out of the common stock of what is gotten by their piracy, and a very exact and equal dividend is made of the remainder. They have also regard to qualities and places. Thus the captain, or chief, is allotted five or six portions to what the ordinary seamen have ; the master's mate only two, and other officers proportionably to their employ; after which, they draw equal parts, from the highest to the lowest mariner, the boys not being omitted, who draw half a share; because, when they take a better Vessel than their own, it is the boys duty to fire their former vessel, and then retire to the prize. They observe among themselves very good orders; for in the prizes which they take, it is severely prohibited, to every one, to take any thing to themselves. Hence all they take is equally divided, as hath been said before. Yea, they take a solemn oath to each other, not to conceal the least thing they find among the prizes; and if any one is found false to the said oath, he is immediately turned out of the society. They are very civil and charitable to each other, so that if any one wants what another has, with great willingness they give it one to another. As soon as these pirates have taken a prize, they immediately set ashore the prisoners, detaining only some few, for their own help and service ; whom, also, they release after two or three years." (Esquemeling, The Buccaneers of America, p. 51-2, 1794 printing)
  9. Your kidding right.,oh man thats a good one...., No Siren this isnt going to happen. Have you got XP.., are you updated., windows updates are free., go update. stay updated., have you got windows firewall turned on.,if not., why not., have you got an anti virus?., if not I suggest getting Free Anti-Virus It is truly free No adware or other BS., It has stopped and found things Norton and McAffee did not., thats why I dumped those., this is a really great freeware antivirus., there is an update for it daily., thats how often an idiot is making a new virus., so they update daily to protect you where Norton and McAffee do not have daily updates., interesting yea?. This company makes Server Anti-Virus for the worlds Enterprise servers., and they charge BIG money for it., so they let the personal anti-virus go out as a freebie., its cool. Anyway if you are doing a few things each day 5 minutes (maintenance) or less., he cannot get into your system., at all., period. You would have to turn on File sharing ., share your drives., and let him "Browse the network" I would ignore like most here suggest. It would seem he really needs attention., kind of like a dawg. Oi thanks fer makin' me feel like a fool, I was goin off of what I've heard, thank ye very much.
  10. well there's really no telling Im not all that computer savvy, I just know that it may be possible to do stuff to your compuer and what not, or at least you online information.
  11. That wouldn't help him get her email address. Why don't you just do what lady snow suggests and automatically have your system move his emails in your trash or junk files - then ignore them by deleted the files without reading them. He sounds like a sort of troll and the one thing they can't stand is to be ignored. Once he gains access to her IP address he can freely hack her computer, and get any and all information he wants
  12. Bird of a feather flock together. an old addage warning against thieves
  13. If thats the case love he probably got a hold of your IP address.
  14. ...Im a bit tired, but relieved that its almost the weekend also the hem o' me pants is wet...so me feet be cold... O_o
  15. Cutlass's be dangerous when not handled with the utmost care
  16. ^Posts more often in Rabble Rousing, than anywhere else...accordin' to his tracker leats ways. and though I don't know 'im all that well, appears t'be a bloody fine Pirate
  17. That were one of me favorite parts of the game. Sadly none of the original cast were available for the voice parts but their replacements did an exempliary job. Ifin ye have any questions feel free t'ask Ive finished the game and would be willing t'divuldge in yer requests.
