Mutant PiPmas Ornaments

[Dutchman]

why cheekys would be too easy. lets see full of fluff, flits around in a breeze, not much to it. lets see.... cottonballs. a perfect persona!!!

I think the Christmas ornaments are a great idea, Diosa. I do like Captain Stelring's stock idea too.

May I throw another idea to all of you?

Is it possible that we could make Christmas ornaments that portray your 'personna'?

I really don't think there should be any limitations on what people come up with.... I find the personna idea intriguing..... I just have no idea what I would come up with for me.....

By the way... did you notice that Capt Sterling said "yer wish is my command' to me? Just thought I would point that out... Watch out Cheeky.... I'm moving up the mistress list... :)

Robbies could be a short yellow ship ....loved that photo caption btw Cheeky...

Chrispy had a great idea Diosa - how about a bodice with a hallow above it.

or my thought the heart pins you wear for your campaign. a mini version would make a nice ornament.

poor robbie- an he isn't even here to defend himself. poor bugger- like he could anyhow. did anyone get his cannon dodging stunt on video?

nell, well come up with something for you. don't worry, ill save you.

Let me explain. We have the Chocolatefest in January. Lots of it. We have waaaaay too much chocolate.

Then when February rolls around we have chocolate...AGAIN.

Oh William...you can NEVER have too much Chocolate! As for doing it early...I like the idea of being a chocolate comma for a whole month!

[Cheeky Actress]

Now thats a GREAT idea... then we could collect each other!!

Ooo, you landed on a great marketing idea RustyNell. Just think...."Be the first one on your block to have them all!" Collect all 12, or 24, or 36...

I already know what Captain Sterling 'could' be...

I can see Diosa's being a 'ball and chain' for her Bonney/Reed character...just a thought.

Cottonballs?! I would say something Shiney would suit me. As for you, Dutch. A tattered piece of hemp; layered in pine pitch and dirt tied with a piece of hemp twine would be perfect.

And when your done with it, you can use it for a fire-starter....

[Cheeky Actress]

By the way... did you notice that Capt Sterling said "yer wish is my command' to me? Just thought I would point that out... Watch out Cheeky.... I'm moving up the mistress list... :)

Yes, I saw what Capt. Sterling said, Diosa. He can be very free with his words and time, Dearie. But as far as moving up on the 'list'. I would have to say that the Captain perfers the 'down' position.

Oh, you'll need a board for your back, too. He lists a bit when he drinks.

Robbies could be a short yellow ship ....

ROFLOL!!!!

loved that photo caption btw Cheeky...

Which do you mean, Dear RustyNell? My signature one or another posted somewhere here on the pub?>

Ah Lady, my word is always good when I give it... and just ignore the Mistress, she never has a nice thing to say.... I am finally beginning to understand what William Red Wake means...

You need to go to Baconfe...oh wait. Meat.

We do a Chocolatefest in January.

Did Someone say BACON????

AND CHOCOLATE??????? faints dead away, one hand raised in supplication ~ Dark, please!

[Captain Mickey]

What about if you all backed a cookie of each other and decorated it accordingly. You could do up a trading card the came with the cookie. Once you had all the cards, they would be used to play a game (like a simple version of Magic the Gathering).

Just a though...

[RustyNell]

mmmm chocolate dipped bacon...Mary sinful!!

Cheeky the yellow ship comment was a caption I thought I saw in your photos in photobucket...stole it from you I thought.......and curious what Sterlings ornament would be ...please do share.

and Cheeky "Oh, you'll need a board for your back, too. He lists a bit when he drinks" ROFLMAO -- a little pitch and yawl aye??

Dutch I hope someone did get that on video. It was hillarious. I can still see it in my head plain as day.

I've already begun my design... I only worry that the Cat 4 wind portion of the ornament may cause some damage in the winner's home. But, then again, there's the argument for authenticity in the ornament's representation.

Hmmm... in order to keep this as a thing where we can all get ornaments and we can still do a fundraiser.... should we do it as a dutch auction (No Dutch, we are not going to auction you off) kind of like the hair auction. We put all the ornaments out there (my guess is I will likely make 4 or 5 ornaments in each of 4 or 5 styles because I get bored with making too many of one thing) and then bid for who gets first 'dibs' on buying. Highest bidder gets to pick as many as they want, paying the bid price for each one (i.e. if it goes to $12, and that person wants 4 ornaments, they pick the four they want and put $48 into the charity pot, the next person who bid $11 goes next and picks as many as they want at $11 each and so on until they're all gone) that will go faster than bidding on them one at a time....what do you all think?

How did this moody thread become a discussion of Christmas ornaments?

I think you'd have to pick the right people to be on the ornaments to sell them. Look at how hard they had to work to sell those artist's sketches of some fairly popular (in our little PiP world) pirates.

How we got here....

Moody memories turned into how PIP seems like more of a holiday than Christmas...so PIPmas came up... then I mentioned that I always buy ornaments when I travel so maybe we could make pirate ones for PIPmas...others do the same thing...etc etc... that's how we got here...

That being said, oh great moderator, if you would like to move it all to a new thread, go for it :)

On the 'people on ornaments' that is not quite what was meant, i don't think. It was more of an ornament that represents you... such as for me someone thought the idea of shackles or a ball and chain as Mary would wear would be an ornament that would represent me... Hurricane was thinking a hurricane flag or other hurricane type of image as representing him....etc etc... not necessarily a likeness of the person, but a representation through something else.

Good God! Don't put the responsibility on me! I was just savoring the irony. (If you guys do want me to split it out for better visibilty, I'll be happy to do so, however.)

Here is what I want on my ornament:

(Bucky the pants-ed skeleton.)

[Rev.Sam]

I'd say the trouble is not going.

Oh an Mission, wouldn't yer tree start t' smell an attract birds with that?

[Capt. Sterling]

Gee does this mean I get a white ping-pong ball hanging from a red ribbon??

Ummm...does bucky have his skeletal right hand on his, ummm...well, look for yourself.

[Captain Jim]

No, you get a (sterling) silver bell hanging from a red ribbon.

[RustyNell]

my thought was a Sterling silver noose.

[RustyNell]

I don't know if these need to be auctioned. My thought was we just sell them at set prices and the money goes to charity. We can make as many as we have the time or inclination to make. When they are gone they are gone. Price them according to time and materials. The person who made it could price it accordingly.We can make slight price adjustments if need be once we have them all together.
