Glad ye came to th' Pub, Tiny. Tis no better place ye could venture upon. Many here I'm sure could offer many answers. Tis a general, wide-ranged question. Could be hope, want, or desire for something better, the call of adventure, our own point of view, replicate what we saw from a movie or tv show, The joy of impersonating history to teach and learn, the mystery of something found that was once lost... It's a large number of possibilities, all with so many different answers from every single person. :) ~Lady B

Aye, I heard this, too. I'm very curious to see this guilded hilt that be the claimed possibly Blackbeard's sword. ~Lady B

Can't wait for next year! I've already begun pondering and shopping for my recipiant next year. :) Hopefully my recipiant this year will enjoy his gift. ~Lady B

I don't mind further PotC adventures. I've heard the rumors abound of a PotC 5 and a PotC 6. I'm not holding my breath unlike some folks. But just intregued that there are rumors when PotC 4 has yet to be released! But those comments on that link Bess provided... MOST UNCALLED FOR!!! Frankly, I can still see plenty of elements that can still be used for PotC. Plenty of them. ~Lady B

Yo'r best bet is to pick and stick with something more... realistic. It stands out more. Drop the Plundering, Pylos Parker sounds pretty good. Or, find a ship trade, like a Cooper, and could be known as Cooper Parker. One does not have to extend their piratey name to some silly fantasy pirate name. Unless you do more of the fantasy pirate, then by all means, use the Plunder Pylos Parker. Depends upon how you wish to be viewed as a pirate. And as Hurricane mentioned, most times... that name is often decided for ye by others or changes. Don't sweat th' name. :) ~Lady B

Ahoy! I had to resurrect this topic... I'm thinking of making some of these buttons and curious to know if there is a recommended site still in operation that is a step by step guide on making these fine buttons. Thank ye, ~Lady B

The gangplanks and doors to the establishment shall ALWAYS be open, Pegleg. ~Lady B

As I have heard time and time again, this is a Hobby. Simply fun time in one way or another for people. So, people have various ideas of what is a pirate. Only thing you can do is do your best at portraying history by yourself with an encampment or with a crew of your own. If others attend the event that are likeminded, by all means, interact if you wish. Interact nevertheless with anyone. But don't fuss too much about how others portray pirates. It's really like bashing you head against a 24 foot wall of concrete and reenforced titanium. Each to their own. And.... just like Michael and Ransom and the others have said. We have indeed had verbal battles like this in the past which, unfortunately, cause a lot of bad tastes and bad blood. ~Lady B

Hmmmm... rather interesting, Ricky. ~Lady B

Welcome to th' Pub, good sir. Tis a good thing they urged ye to stumble into this here establishment. I guarantee ye'll find no better pirate establishment than this here Pub. Shall look forward to conversin' with ye. ~Lady B

Thank ye, Bellamy. Shall look foward to some funs stories with ye. Aye, Elena. Been role playing stories online for over a decade. And have been involved in some great stories, a couple of which have been included in Lady B's past. Especially the part of her whisked away from home into a war. Role playing stories REALLY do help out in creating a character and their past. Just the same way as attending events helps to create a character. Just one more aspect to add to the depth and dimension of a character. ~Lady B

Ahoy to all! Yes, now I have gone and done it. And figured this was the best place to post it. The Age of Enlightenment is an online role playing story forum site specifically set during the 18th Century, plus the late 17th c and early 19th c. Both historical and fictional characters are welcome. You write a progressive story that lasts as long or short as you wish with no real limit on characters involved so long as it's realistic. It's the realistic setting that will make it all the more enjoyable. This is a perfect way for some to develope or continue their past history for their personas. So, come... join in on the fun. Create some fantastic stories filled with adventure, romance, and every other element of a great story! All at the Age of Enlightenment ~Lady B

Hoist yo'r tankards high for a long time member of Pub and the Coxwain of the Resurrection... Perkeo Flarg! Offer yo'r best wishes and some rum for the shipmate. Happy Birthday to ye, Perkeo! ~Lady B

AYE!!! Here's to ye, Hawkyns. ::: hoists tankard::: to one of th' finest gents on th' Pub! And wishing ye many more birthdays t' come, m' good man! :) ~Lady B

Bummer. Pity that this event is the same weekend as Port Washington Pirate Fest. Perhaps another year. ~Lady B

LOL.. Oh, heaven's no! I'm talking about the Navy Pier in Chicago. ~Lady B

Aye, I'll second what Will just said. Best to have a decent name as a pirate. All the best pirates had a realistic name. ~Lady B

Ahoy, and welcome, Jimmyrum! Glad ye made way to th' Pub. Ye'll find no finer place for pirates. Oh, and... LOVE the avatar! Right fine an' proper. ~Lady B

Now, now, Gents. Simmer down there. Tis a bit premature to be dissing Ian McShane's Blackbeard, especially the height. This is Hollywood, they hold tricks. Let's see how McShane places Blackbeard before we take notice of anything else. I think they wanted this look so McShane doesn't look like all the mass amounts of paintings and characters of Blackbeard already. There have been several Blackbeard characters on screen that have looked like the paintings and engravings. I think Disney wanted to go a different route with Blackbeard's look. ~Lady B

Thinking about having a Pirate Invasion at the Navy Pier the night or weekend PotC 4 is released. Anyone interested? What ye think? I've already contacted the Pier, IMAX, and even Captain Bruce of the Windy. ~Lady B

Ooooo... another Frenchy! :) Glad t' have ye here with us, good sir. Thrilled to hear yo'r plans and more of the sort. Shall look forward to some pictures of ye in full attire and more conversations with ye in th' future here upon th' Pub! Ye've come to th' right place, m' good man. And don't ye worry none. There are a few here who speak French right well, too. Also, yo'r English is right fine. :) ~Lady B

Miss ye somethin' fierce, Siren! A belated Merry Christmas to ye and Happy New Year! May this 2011 year bless ye and yo'r family. Again, miss ye! Thought 'bout callin' ye t' wish ye a Happy New Year. Ye always be in m' prayers and thoughts, lass. Hope ye return soon to us. ~Lady B

Nice find, PoD! I like this place, too! Kudos, mate. :) Wes! Look... SPOONS! Even forks. :) ~Lady B
