James Smythe Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Ahoy and greetings to all, I be a little known pillager known as James Smythe. Growing up on the gulf gave me an early intrigue to pyracy in its forms and the habits grew healthy. Currently I have been land-locked but I due make my pilgrimages back when I can. I came in hopes of finding a community to aid in my needs for pillage and plunder.
William Brand Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Welcome aboard, Mister Smythe. Where do you find yourself landlocked?
James Smythe Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 Welcome aboard, Mister Smythe. Where do you find yourself landlocked? At the moment it would be Missouri.

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/
LadyBarbossa Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Ahoy, and welcome Smythe. Glad ye came to this fine piratical establishment. Shall look forward to more conversations with ye. Aye! Bo be in that state, as is Silas Thatcher, Wes be near there. A few others, if I'm not mistaken. He's in good company with all we landlocked pirates. If ye don't mind my askin', where in Missouri be ye, Smythe? Again, Welcome, Smythe. I'm neighbor to ye, so t' speak, up here in th' Land Between Two Rivers aka Iowa. I know that there be a Pirate Fest in St. Louis. Plus some pirates gather at Fort de Chartres (coming up the first weekend in June) down around that area. If ye fancy a roadtrip, Pirates of Paynetown (if they have it this year), the Port Washington Pirate Fest (north of Milwaukee, WI) and a pirate fest in Michigan as well.

michaelsbagley Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Welcome to the pub James. As has been stated there are some great folks out in and around Missouri... Bo, the Thatchers, Wes, Carl, JGallia and his wife, and likely a whole bunch more I am forgetting. And yes, Paynetown IS happenning this year... it is going through some changes on the back end, but should still continue to be the largest pirate re-enactment gathering in the Mid-West.
William Brand Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Plus some pirates gather at Fort de Chartres (coming up the first weekend in June) down around that area. ~Lady B Aye. The Crew of the Mercury gathers for the Fort de Chartres event. You'd be welcome to join us. There are river pirates there as well.

James Smythe Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 A quick question as it may be to all: As life finds me I have an interest in finding pyrate crews to affiliate with for the areas I find myself with. During the time I was in Atlanta I found the Atlanta Pirate and Wench Guild. I find myself in Mid-Missouri and Northwest Florida in great quantity and was also looking to find possible crews to affiliate with the area. As I see myself I am more of a wandering pyrate. Any aid would be appreciated.
