Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Ahoy Mates, I'm planning on mutining at the Az Ren Faire and holding me own Best Adult Pirate contest. I be needin some ideas for prizes for the adults. It must be G-rated. I'm planning on going right before the kiddie pirates so I can hold them hostage to be the judges. It also needs to cost less than $25. I not be made of gold mates. Your support in the mutinty is appreciated. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind.

Duchess Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 What a wonderful idea for a press ganging! How many prizes would you like to give and does the total need to be under $25 or each prize? Duchess
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 2, 2005 Author Posted March 2, 2005 First off, I have to pull this together by Saturday morning. Second, each prize should be under $25 and I'm thinking 3 -4 big prizes with smaller ones for the honorable mentions. All winners will be handed a Letter of Marque declaring them one of the following: Dread Pirate (Winner) First Mate (First Runner Up) Bossum (Second Runner Up) with the following "Honorable Mentions" Best Sword (there was a lovely one there last year..I hope he shows, he should have won) Best Captain Jack Sparrow (we all know they will be there. I'm bringing one) Best Wench Pirate (not sure on this one. maybe to sexist..give me your opinions) Anyways, I really feel it's all about the recognition and not the prizes. A pirate just wants bragging rites. What do you get someone who's into pirates that they don't already have? ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind.

Duchess Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Hmmm, by saturday puts a damper on most of my ideas. What about a special silk sash? A take off on the various english orders. Could be worn as scarf, sash, arm band, leg band etc. Each colour or pattern etc, for each prize. If it were a yearly thing, you could kind of induct new "members." Duchess

Mission Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 How about beer mugs? Too bad about being on short notice. You can get all kinds of interesting things on eBay for cheap, but you have to wait for them to arrive.

But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 A pirate will (well might) like a disc of shanteys (you know our own pirate music) written on the seas and recorded for posterity fer the historical significance of it all! Then again some sites have nice knives on clearance with sheaths for 12.00 - 24.00$ Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
Rogue Mermaid Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Best Wench Pirate (not sure on this one. maybe to sexist..give me your opinions) How about Best Piratess or She-pirate?
hurricane Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 If you have a Things Remembered near you, they have great steins and other nice gifts for that range and they can be engraved... that's assuming it was $25 for a gift. If less, wow, I'm at a loss. Alternately, you may get Diosa to do a gift certificate for plundering her shop for advertising. You can see her stuff at http://www.piratesofthecoast.com/shop or email her at diosa@piratesofthecoast.com - she could also Fed Ex I suppose so it'd be there Friday. Check out http://www.thingsremembered.com They have some stores in Arizona...

Jack2 Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 What about a coupon or two for "drinks all around" plus the certificate? After all, we are all pirates!
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 3, 2005 Author Posted March 3, 2005 What about a coupon or two for "drinks all around" plus the certificate? After all, we are all pirates! G-Rated, Jack2. That means no liquor. This is also why we can't meet at the Greyhound Guild. We are commandeering their stage. Me sis says the stage will most likely be guarded now that they know we plan to mutiny. So me next plan is to tell all the pirates we run across at the faire to be at the stage at 1pm for the contest thereby meeting the Faire's minimum requirement of "15". I love to stir the pot. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Patrick Hand Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Black Hearted Pearl, I think ... "All winners will be handed a Letter of Marque" would be enough....
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 5, 2005 Author Posted March 5, 2005 Black Hearted Pearl, I think ... "All winners will be handed a Letter of Marque" would be enough.... I've taken your advice, however, I modified it. Since I can't very well authorize a Letter of Marque, I be just a humble pirate, I have come up with the following certificate. Ye have been proclaimed Privateer Captain By the Privateers Of Sonoran Seas Extraordinaire, (POSSE) whilst attending the 2005 Arizona Renaissance Faire Pirate Days. This award entitles the bearer to three Huzzahs for a job well done and the first round of grog is on you. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind.

Patrick Hand Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 That works..... the first round of grog is on you. Bragging rights and being appriceated are always good......
