jacobite Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Hulllo all My Name is Collin King long time 18th Cen reanactor out of New port richey fl......i am Seriouly considering taking a break From British nite watch in St Augustine this year and Seeing what this event has to offer... I understand that there is a encampment in the Fort , and some Kind of Seige But does one have to come down with a crew or can Folks come down and hook up with a group or what have you ...... YHS Collin
Silkie McDonough Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 The answer is ...yes. All who want to be authentic, at least in the long run, are welcome. If you are coming as a Brit you may want to check in with the "commander" ...whomever that is. As a privateer check in with William Red Wake and read the thread.
William Brand Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Silkie is right in answering with a solitary yes, for as it stands, you can do as much or as little as you would like. There are several different encampments, i.e., buccaneer, privateer, smuggler and british, so you can join up with any of them. You can also bring an entire existing crew and camp in any one of the encampments. You are welcome to join in anywhere and you are encouraged to ask as many questions as you wish.
Capt. Sterling Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 The crewe of the Archangel would also welcome you if you plan to come in yer red togs as we shall be playing pirate hunter come this event. Mercenaries always appeal to us. "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Captain Jim Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 This event is one that has evolved into the most welcoming of events out there. Come and be welcome. Come as a group or by yourself. Come prepared to have a fun time and be flexible, as a lot of what we have done is unscripted. To a great extent this is because of Harry Smid, the Park major domo. He allows us a great deal of latitude because he trusts us to be safe and he knows that we want to reenact history, not fantasy. So, come and join us happy pyrates and help us develop this into the premiere event in the land. If you get there and find myself, William, Harry, Hurricane or Capt Sterling we will find you something to do. Now go read the recent threads in Pyrates in Paradise, work up a character and come on down to the land of pyrates. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
jacobite Posted June 19, 2007 Author Posted June 19, 2007 Thank you all for the heaty Welcome And Yes After a powow with William will be joining up with the 1720s encampment(most of my Kit is mid to late 18th cen but will do in a pintch And ?Sorry My Days in the Service of "German Georgie" are over..(that is until My Next Rev war event then back to the gallant Fourtytwa or..Godd forbid I run into that pressgang again in St Augustine.. As to to character's I'm thinking its just going to take some minor tweaking From what rach has been doing at CFPF for years and what I did for Jon levieque days
William Brand Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 And you could always switch sides when the favorable outcome looks better for another encampment during battle. After all, we're pirates.
Captain Jim Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 See? Now that's what I mean by flexible. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Silkie McDonough Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Some of us are part time privateers ...or Red coats ...or turn coats ...but we get along swimmingly! You can swim can't you?
Captain Jim Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Absolutely. All of the pyrate hunters and King's men I haven't killed by five o'clock are always welcome by for a bit o' rum or ale. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
