Mission Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I am interesting in attending but am completely green, trying to puttogether acceptable PC gear but would like to hook up with a forgiving crew. If you have to start somewhere, this event is one of the best to start with! I was completely green when I went two years ago as well. Just do your best with the kit. You'll find lots of helpful people and ideas around here, particularly in the Captain Twill and The Thieves Market forums. The only downfall is that you may be completely spoiled by attending this event first. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily Alexander Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) In order to help people navigate their way through the pages of information in the PIP Forum, we've started a new thread in the "Mercury Crew" subforum of the Pyrate Crewe section. How to get started for PIP https://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=1460...mp;#entry350592 Edited April 3, 2009 by Haunting Lily If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callenish gunner Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 There seems to be a lot of folks looking to become first timers in this hobby not just for PIP ....these threads could be useful to any who'd like to become active and a bit more comprehensive in their approach to getting their "kit" together whether it is Period correct attire or weapons or their camping needs... First off I usually recommend that you do a bit of homework before you spend hard earned and often elusive $$$$$ good kit costs a bit more for good fabric and styles than cheap costume "polywood" stuff but it wears better and is more comfortable and the sewing isn't brain surgery. The simple application of needle and thread to mostly straight seams can seem daunting but dive in and you might find it can be fun and addicting (cheaper than a night out) and longer lasting ....unless you pick up something you can't get rid of A lot of my linen shirts are 4-5 years old and the price of linen can be as inexpensive as $5-6 a yard and it takes about 3-4 yards for a shirt depending on the width. The cost of buttons can seem expensive at first but if you figure it's about $2-3 worth per shirt that can mean a good hand made shirt for under $25 .....just for starters There are lots of folks on the pub who are more than willing to help with suggestions and even patterns, etc. some simple posts need to be linked in a category of basics (and let the debating of the best shoes, etc. in their seperate threads) .....perhaps in a seperate category of "getting started" just a thought in my humble opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Michaels Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Was talking to Captain Sterling, and he convincced me I had to attend this *grumble* event. I'd be much obliged if you would list me under the *blasted* Archangel crewe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Aye... please list Mr. Michaels under the ...ahem.. blasted crewe.

Commodore Swab Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I know you can list myself, Commodore Swab I will be assisting "The Viceroy" with the guns and will bring my wife (If she has her visa by that time which is a very very good chance). The "Old Hag" may come as well, if she does we will drive down in her iron horse. If she doesn't come my wife and I will sail down. Currently we are independent yet Im thinking the Hag would have a better time in the camps and my wife and I in the fort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
