PirateMunkee Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 A nuclear powered aircraft carrier. Plenty of room for cannon space since I wouldn't be able to bring the planes along. Yeah baby, who dares fire upon me now!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Flint Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 Snickers... snickers......"lol" The only problem I can see with that is you are only allowed to take ONE. Think of the uproar you would have when that is gone and you cannot produce another. Otherwise, that would be a really great idea. As far as the aircraft carrier goes.... well I know there is a problem there with the one rule somewhere; I just can't find it yet. I like the way you think Pirate Munkee............ The Capt.

I like the way you think Pirate Munkee............ The Capt. I thought about it too. Without the planes or equipment to maintain them or the equipment that doesn't belong to the ship everything is fine. Everything else, the engines, radar (even though it wouldn't work) even down to the stoves, beds, tables, etc. are part of the ship thus being ONE thing, the ship. Nuclear power so you won't have to worry about fuel and there is plenty of sea water to keep the thing cool. Bang, the ulimate Pirate vessel. Imagine the terror we would strike coming into some unsuspecting port with that thing sporting our colors. Mwahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Lasseter Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Hmmmm... that there Aircraft carrier idea... great fer takin' ships at sea, takin' a sea port?

Hmmm... what's the draft o' them things? ye'd never be able ta get close enough.... Now a battleship like the Missouri (the main guns can use BP) that would have th' cannon range ta bombard a port... Problem with that is the ammo for the big guns aren't part of the ship thus would be considered 2 items. Hell, I like the destroyer idea myself. The big guns alone is enough of a scare tactic to freak any unsuspecting captain or port. Taking a sea port with a carrier would be great. Big enough to block off a harbor. Huge enough to have enough pirate living on it for a pretty huge landing force. enough deck space for an arsenal of cannons. And if that doesn't work, drain the water cooling the nuclear reactors and wait for a meltdown then BOOOM. Scuttle the ship and you scuttle the entire caribbean.

Capt. Flint Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 .....wait for meltdown and boom.... scuttle the ship, then scuttle the town... Even I would say that is going a bit far. The entire idea of adventure and plunder, is to have a place to do it and stuff to plunder. Dorion, I was thinking the exact same thing today. Your fine in the open sea, but, forget about ever getting close to port........ Now you could turn the entire thing into a sort of floating pirate paradise town. Sort of a floating port royal. .... I like the idea of that anyway........ The Capt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tasia Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I'd bring my horse. Your horse, you say? Horses were abound back then. Not this horse. :) They didn't make them as big as mine back then! He's 18.3 hands and 2000 lbs. of coal black charging muscle. Course, I'd have to re-enforce the flooring on the ship to make sure he didn't fall through... If not him, then I'd probably bring a lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Oh sure you could bring penicillin! You just powder it and blow it up yer nose.. or sharpen the hell out of a reed and add water.... nobody said it would be pleasant, but it's that or something that just ain't gonna go away otherwise???

Captain Sage Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I could take a PhD in chemistry or civil engineering (it doesn't count as a thing, does it?). Get rich from making things only I know about. The THING I would take might be a Nomex suit for the inevitable "burn the witch at the stake" thing.

Black Pearl Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 A worldwide history book encompassing that era. I'd like to know where NOT to be when plagues and civil wars break out and where TO be when the fun stuff happened...I'd be history (so to speak). Black Pearl "A dagger in the hand is worth two in the scabbard" Black Pearl "An apt and true reply was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride. 'What thou meanest by seizing the whole earth; but because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, whilst thou who dost it with a great fleet art styled emperor."

Rosalinda Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Not something that would get you branded as a witch. I'd take my big black conical witch hat loaded with explosives. Sorta like the shoe bomber...only I'd be the hat bomber. Once they strapped me to the stake and lit the fire...well, you know. Maybe they would think twice before they burned another human being for being a witch. Which was really just an excuse to control the $$$$$$.

Capt. Flint Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 Drucilla.... Read the entire post. It says that you are only allowed one item. So you get the lighter, but, not the fluid. If you want to play it out though; if you take a filled lighter back, I bet anything it would get you killed for being a witch. Not to mention, what do you do once the fluid runs out. Good answer though....... The Capt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
