Ransom Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I hate it when a pirate is wearing a sugerloaf helmet on deck..oh, and spurs. Just watch Cutthroat Island, have we? LOL ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Tartan Jack Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) I hate it when a pirate is wearing a sugerloaf helmet on deck..oh, and spurs. What about when the pirates ride the seahorses? They NEED those spurs! Oh, and I would HATE a musket ball in a pirate.

Capt. Sterling Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I hate those that hate pirates.Woodes Rogers, for one. Ah Woodes Rogers, my hero! Him and Benjamin Hornigold "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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 This is mostly an SCA thing. But I am not found of people who have a personawhere they were born into Danish royalty, kidnapped by Russians, stolen by gypsies, ran away to join a traveling troupe of actors, then became pirates that were captured and sold into slavery by the Spaniards, then they escaped and became Anglo Samurais, that went on to invent television after they became vampire vegetarian Wiccans that intermarried with Norse-Klingon acrobats. Know who I'm talking about? At first I didn't laugh, but as it progressed into absurdity, I couldn't stop laughing. Yes. I know the type. Best to come from humble beginings and to have stories of bad luck, fair luck, and good luck in honest proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Shay, yes Im going to build you the clavichord and Im going to try not to complain too much. I don't think that anyone can object to a clavichord - no one can hear it!

Mission Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (<---I love that one!) If you love that one, you would've loved the old version. It was Mission's favorite smilie as I recall. Ah, yes, Phydeaux. It looked like a damned dog panting. Many people abused poor Phydeaux, using him to represent concupiscence when he, in fact (according to Paul - who I believe made him) didn't.

Elena Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) I hate the pirates who leave a story in the middle of the thread and dissapear into Davy Jones' Locker without notice. If you got sick of us and want to get marrooned on a desert island, tell us at least... and take care to finish your thread / story first! And I also hate those who come to write but they don't want to make any research at all, and you can find wedding photos and pianos in their stories... hello, they weren't invented yet in 1700s! How about pirates who feel the need to play a clavichord, Im just praticing so far. I hear they can be a PITA to build . . . Shut that bloody bouzouki up! "Bouzouki? Where is a bouzouki?"

CharityRackham Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Was having this very discussion with a promoter the other day. We decided that we don't really like (Hate is such a harsh word) pirates who do the eat and drink thing too much. If you did all of that at sea you'd get sick and weak and prime picking for other ships and crewmates. The promoter was looking at it from a 'what is the aspects we can sell to the families and what shouldn't we influence the kids with.' I was looking at it as 'who do I want on board when the other ship comes after us.' Both very valid points and reasonings.

James Smythe Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Being a blend of PC and Hollywood I tread lightly on the subject. I don't mind the sparrow comments. I enjoy it when kids point me out and say "Jack Sparrow, mommy". I won't dog on people for not being PC because well I love my bucket boots. What kinda irks me though is the constant ahrr's I get. There is nothing really that can be done about it though because it is really the first thing that comes to mind with most people and pirates, so I just the subject lay.

Jib Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Pirates friends: I am the person who started this nasty thread way back. "hangs head in shame" I have regretted it ever since. Your comments about supporting the pirate community and helping new people enter the hobby are the true essence of this site. Posters like Patrick Hand, Mission, Capt. Sterling, and others have all voiced some great complaints about this post. This topic was my fault and it was a bad idea. Will you forgive me or am I to be left on a desert island with a pistol and one shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannibal Chrispy Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) I will gladly forgive you, cause I hate a pirate who is careless with firearms!
