favorite pirate punishments yay!

[yer cutlass]

somone who knows their pirate punishments well is going to to rain superior this ol' night ye' salty sea dogs. i personally like marooning which for those filthy deckswabbers is when the cap'n and his mates put ye on an island no food no nothing exept a gun with 1 bullet, the most common pirate punishment is also flogging, again for those cow wogglin' sons of bilge rats' ( ye know who im talking about) is when the pirate's tie ye up to the stern of the boat and make u bob up and down with the boat and scrape yer' bare flesh on the barnacles often causing serious damage. also my second favorite punishment often used when ye kill somone is ye' old pirates, yer mates? think again lubber' they ain't on yer side your on theirs, so they tie ye to the corpse of the person ye killed and fling you overboard... have fun drowning lubber gwahahahah now ye old sea dogs post yer favorite punishments.

Limb removal.

Removal of a thread from the wrong sub-forum.

Oh, I'm sure it will be placed in th' proper thread, Jack. :) None t' worry 'bout that.

Not sure which would be m' fav pirate punishment. I suppose one that I'd administer cause t'would be more fun fo' me I suppose.

Only one I've administered thus far is when a street thief stole m' hat. MerryD was there as m' witness. I hunted down th' street rat, pistol aimed at them, obtained m' hat and marched them to th' jail where they remained for a spell until released. I realized she was released cause she was following me around like a little puppy dog after that. Not sure why, but she wouldn't mess with me again. I suppose she wanted t' join me on some venture. Normally, I would accept such a wee thing. She's mighty good at her game. But... being landlocked... no vessel... aye, th' street rat remained where she was. I'd call her upon m' crew in a heartbeat if I found that street rat again. For various reasons t' pickpocket those who be cheatin' me of m' valued items fo' sale.

Otherwise, I fancy th' stories told of Bart Roberts... and even some of Blackbeard. I'm all up for doin' th' worst to a being for crossing and doublecrossing me. I'm no heart nor tolerance fo' people who annoy an' anger me.

Marooning? Ehhh... What's th' fun in that? Ye don't see th' devils die. Well, unless I just want t' get rid of some bastard, then I'll maroon them an' ensure that not a soul or vessel nears them to retrieve them/rescue them.

But... whippin' the blood & flesh out of them, Keel haulin' them. If th' sharks haven't eaten them up by now... I'd string 'em up from th' yardarm an' use 'em as target practice. Then let th' sharks have at 'em.

Or even better yet, sail to th' Sea of Cortez and just drop a fool into th' waters as dusk an' let th' squids there enjoy 'em... after they'ved had a whippin'.

Maybe sail to th' north an' maroon th' poor devil on the snowy land with no food nor water no means fo' hunting and only with what clothing they have on their back t' keep them warm.

Or sell them into slave trade if I knew they would turn a grand profit after cutting out their tongues (if someone wouldn't mind that).

Depends upon the torture and punishment administered.

But with m' crew... that's a different story. It all depends upon how loyal they are. They may lose only a share on the next vessel taken, or just a minor whipping at the most.

If a crew member wishes t' fight them... I pray it won't be to th' death but only t' blood drawn.

Aye, to m' crew I would be more favorable to ... ONLY if they be loyal. Otherwise, th' poor fool 'll find th' same fate as above.

Aye... I'm a twisted mind.

But then again... would ye REALLY tolerate someone doin' ye wrong?

The quartermaster aboard the Salty Kiss uses a cat-o-nines. However, her cat-o-nines is actually nines cat tails on a stick. Kinky.

[Captain Drake Flint]

If any of me crew be misbehavin' I punish them by not allowin' them t' watch that great pirate o' the seabed, SpongeBob! That upsets me crew a whole bunch! YArrHa Ha!

But t' the blunderin' landlubbers I tie 'em t' me mast an' let the birds 'av 'em.

[Iron Bess]

Reading this topic??

Which is being moved to Twill in case it faulters on it's current course and becomes a Historical debate or conversation...)

[Silkie McDonough]

So ...what else can ya do t punish a mate?

[Lady Seahawke]

tie em up dangle em over ta side of ta ship wit the'r toes brush'n ta water and use em for fish bait...

here sharkie ...sharkie sharkie...here sharkie...

[Kate Souris]

Keel hauling...by far...keel hauling is my favorite.

Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end, tho...

[Silkie McDonough]

eah ...still not likely.

[Ransom]

Tie offender to the mast, and place a bottle of rum just out of reach. The severity of his crime determines how long he stays tied and staring at the bottle.

[Lady Seahawke]

k, are we talking about what was actually done? Or what tis done to members of your own crew?

THAT is a mighty big difference.

[Capt Thighbiter]

In Hellion, we are rather fond of wouldening ( wrapping said victims head with a turn or two of line and then tightening it with a belaying pin, like a tournequete, makes the eyes bug so loverly).

If ye were so discomodious as to insult ship or crew, cast ye adrift with ye ears nailed to an 8 inch plank.

An one learned from Mr Thatch - make the victim fast to mainmast and shove lengths of fuse under 'is eyelids and light 'em up.

[Silkie McDonough]

Ouch

What would/could be done during the GAoP.

Say you stole from a crew member ...would they cut off a finger and keep you aboard? Would they cut off a finger? Would they keep you aboard?

What creative things could/would be done?

If a crew member absentmindedly did something that could endanger the ship & her crew. What could be done?

This is one of my favorites -- not so much piratey as military but extremely cruel and divisive.

He beareth a Wooden Horse. The Riding of this Horse, whose Back is only two Boards set together like the Ridge of a House, is a kind of Punishment used among Soldiers, and Men under Martial Laws; the sharpness of which ridge doth so gall and cut the Riders Thighs and Breech, that he shall scarce able to go or stand for a certain time after; especially if his Offence require his Punishment to have Spurs at his heels, (that is a Musket or two tied at each Legg) and his Hands bound behind him.

Limb removal.

That's not a punishment - it's a privilege.

[Silkie McDonough]

Only if you are the remover it isn't so pleasing for the removee!

[oderlesseye]

[casketchris]

cat-o-nines all the way

[Kenneth]

Limb removal.

That's not a punishment - it's a privilege.

...I was refering to the Limb just south of the abdomen...Maybe I should have said ones"member"..

[Raphael Misson]

Now that would be some amputation. I'd not do it. (I don't recall any references in the literature about it as a surgical procedure.) Injecting Mercury would be another matter entirely. Sound procedure for curing syphilis, according to many sources.

You been watching Surviving History?LOL!

[Salty]

floggings will continue untill morale improves......

[roytheodd]

Me favorite pirate tortures be tying a swab t' the mast and hurlin' bottles at him and the practice o' ridin' on the shoulders o' friars 'til they drop. As fer corrective measures fer me mates, I favor maroonin' wayward souls.
