Jack Roberts Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 and to think I had a role in all of this. "snif" Fare thee well.
Ransom Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I leave for four days and look what happens! My ship raided, my hostage highjacked, crew injured, and... REGGIE DEAD! Shakes head. "I suppose I should be grateful you didn't sink the Rakehell and kill me off in my absence. And Jack dear, my apolgies. I see it was a conspiracy. But, you still better watch your back. No one raids the Rakehell and gets away with it! Glad to be back. A landlocked pirate needs a taste of the sea air once and awhile. And the seafood ain't bad neither! ...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.

Captain Striker Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Ah seafood and sea breezes are great Oy Finn Brothers ,as far as I know Tess already had disposed of the body with the help of Sam ... or she was about to anyway ... Well things sure happen fast around here always surrounded by shadows , always in the shadow. A spectre he be !
Capt. Sterling Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 Oh come now Johnny! says Tess looking somewhat upset.You know our fathers wanted us to marry. It was a good arrangement for both houses! You never truly understood your father's way of thinking, did you?" I could voice mine opinion about my Father, but then everyone knows he's an....ahem.... Suffice to say, we do not see eye to eye... and never will...The man suffers from the love of money....

Tess St. Claire Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 And dearest John...what is wrong with the love of money? Or for that matter, the love of station?
Capt. Sterling Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 Marry for money if ye like Tess, I perfer to marry for love of a person...obviously we would never make a good match...

Liam Finn Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Oi, Killingsworth! Sorry ta have ta stuff yer corpse in a barrel, not a fitting casket, or is it? We was put in a tight spot, an well, you know, we had ta do somethin. Titim gan éirí ort. Go mbeire an diabhal leis thú So we shall flow a river forth to Thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
Reginald Killingsworth Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 In a Barrel?! Right then...just makes my Irish wake more interesting...and...pub crawling is so much easier now that you can roll me from one pub to another....thanks for thinking of it boys! Allow me to be frank at the commencement; You will not like me...™
Ransom Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 FYI I have posted a warning on the first page of the character bio thread, that all the characters are under copyright by those who have created them. I did this because you are all so good, and the story is becoming more and more complex. I didn't want anyone to "borrow" either our characters or plot ideas without asking us first. Just call me paranoid, but I got this idea from another thread and thought it might be a good idea for Port Royal. ...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.

Cheeky Actress Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Good thinking Ransom.... I am sure that our good Captain may have something to say about this...perhaps he may be able to help with the details regarding this too. Member of "The Forsaken"
Ransom Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Any help the good Captain could give would be great. I know in theory, as soon as you create a character it is automatically copyrighted, but with so many hits on the Port Royal thread, I thought stating the obvious might be a good idea. After all, there be pirates in these waters! ...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.

kass Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Good thinking, Ransom. Yes, copyright automatically applies as soon as we post here. But copyright can be lost if it is not defended. Therefore I entreat anyone who sees characters or plots resembling ours anywhere else on the 'Net or in print to alter us immediately. If we do nothing, the copyright will cease to be our own. So we need to watchful eyes of our fellows to help us be ever diligent. Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
Captain Striker Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Very good idea Ransom.... Now we just have to keep a eye out for them Pirates always surrounded by shadows , always in the shadow. A spectre he be !

Capt. Sterling Posted September 23, 2006 Author Posted September 23, 2006 Okay folks hate to burst any bubbles here, but the last time I checked with the government, you cannot copyright a character name OR idea... you must Trade mark them... we can only copyright the actual writing.. SO you must add TradeMark to the items in question...

CrazyCholeBlack Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Well I've jumped in with both feet. Hope no one minds. I would like to ask that if anyone sees any mistakes in my writing, no matter how tiny they may seem, to please point them out to me. I am new to writing with others so your patience is appreciated.

Ransom Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Hey, I just had a thought (yikes, scary I know). Actually, it is an idea I pinched from the Watch Dog thread (Pirate!). All the crew of that thread have a notation in their signature that they are ".... of the Watch Dog." Gunner of the Watch Dog, Quartermaster of the Watch Dog, etc. So, I thought it might be kinda neat to have something similar for the Port Royals. Any ideas for a name we could all use? Maybe even come up with a logo design? Then we could add it to our signatures. What say you? R BTW, if you think this idea is a load of bilge, say so! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Cheeky Actress Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Oh Ransom...looks like you've been caught red handed. Though, the idea is a good one...we here on Port Royal need not have to 'label' ourselves to the story line...We have so much more to offer.... I see no need for such a thing....

I think you are a bloody pirate. Hey, I admitted it right up front—I pinched the idea! Never said I wasn't a pirate! It was just a thought, thrown out like bait to see if anyone would bite. No worry if no one thinks it's worth it. I just think it looks cool on all the Watch Dog signatures. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...
