Syera Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Alas, the piracy bug hath bitten me, and bitten me hard, for I feel infected with the urge to dress and act piratey all over again. Anyhow, I decided to put my pirately urges into something constructive, and have been working on a pirate name generator. As it is, I believe it's lacking in a few departments - so, I'd consider it a great favor if you'd all check it out and give me some suggestions as to words I could add so as to give it more variety. Pirate Name Generator I'll probably make a few more pirate-related generators in the future. Like ship names and pirates. XD
William Brand Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Just add a plethora of sea terms like... Windlass Capstain Bilge Bucket gob Rum Ration Starboard Larboard Reef Knot Ratline Galley Larder Swivel Gun Shroud Jib Spar Cooper Just add more variables.
Syera Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 Hoo, yeah. That's made for some good ones. Like "Bucket Eyed Chuck" and "Rum Gut Tom." Thanks muchly, and please, keep 'em coming! :)

Syera Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 Nice stuff. :) What I could really use now are some good old adjectives. You know, "smelly," "crazy," "mad," all those groovy piratey descriptors!

Syera Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 Well, I've added some more pirate-related generators. They'll need a bit of work, especially the ship name generator. Suggestions welcome! Pirate-Related Generators
William Brand Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 The Vengeful Hangnail? If I sailed on a ship with that name, no one would take me seriously. Of course, if I did sail on a ship with that name I'd kill anyone who laughed at it. Arrr.
Tall Paul Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Is there any way of pre-selecting certan factors? Gender for example, The first three names that it came up with for me were - Jaetty Faced Jill Old Midship Anna and Cask Charlotte I wouldn't mind, but I am a bloke!! I quite liked the ship name that came up though. The Vengeful Locust Something relentless and very distructive, I like it. Second choice, The Vengeful Revenge, Not so good. Anyone remember my modest attempt at creating a Pirate name generating formula? https://pyracy.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5523 If anyone can come up with a similar formula that works better, I would be glad to hear it. Although I tried, I couldn't do better tan this one. Tall Paul Cpt "Tall Paul" Adams Colchester Historical Enactment Society (C.H.E.S.)
Syera Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 If you don't like the feminine names it gives you, you can always give 'em to your mother-in-law, your ex-girlfriend, the bully from school... whomever you want, really. I don't know how to make an options menu - at least, not in Java. I know it's been done in PHP, but I really don't want to do PHP generators. One major reason: you have to be online to test/use them, and if I had to be online during the testing phase, it'd take me approximately five grizbillion, three hundred seventy thousand, five hundred and thirty-nine years to get it finished. There are several variables that factor into this, most of which want to use the dial-up Internet. I have, however, made inquiries as to adding an options menu on a Java-based generator. :)

Syera Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 Well, now I've found out I can add an options menu. However, I still don't know how. Hopefully, a certain generator genius'll get back to me on this shortly...
Aunty Maim Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Heh, me favorite names were: Big Footed Prudence Hairy Dog-watch Cora Pudding Breath Rachel Ugly Eye Liz and the oh so lurvly Dog Faced Mary
Syera Posted January 26, 2006 Author Posted January 26, 2006 I've updated the ship name generator. It needs more variables (suggestions, please!), but it'll give you more variety now. :)
William Brand Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Cool. I was credited on a random name generator. That's another first.
William Brand Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 I might be repeating some of these now, but... More Adjectives: Scabby Rusty Salty Sly Venomous Poisonous Filthy Callous Cold Moldy Grim Festering Corrupt Vengeful Loyal Brave Bloodthirsty Plaque Ridden Infested Jovial Thieving Slippery Dangerous Bleeding Limping Stubby More nouns: Barnacle Casket Belaying Pin Holystone Brass Monkey Bellrope Lanyard Stern Chaser Rum Glass Onion Bottle Ballast Flotsam Jetsam Storm Powder Horn Striker
Rumba Rue Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 I gotta tell ye, I jest laughed my arse off when guys get the women's names!
Syera Posted January 26, 2006 Author Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks again, William! :) Your help is much appreciated. :) What I could really use now are words you think would work to make good ship names. :) Words that sound pleasant, words to strike terror, or just shiply-shapely-sounding words are all welcome.
