Patrick Hand Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 first off fire power would be important i'd prefer an uzi ( An Uzi is close to a shotgun.... good up close.... lots of bullets......but dang... you can't reach out and touch someone........ no range........ I'M still arguing th' AK.......(an M16 is good.... but the round is too light .... at .762... th' AK has it for dirt simple....and almost the same range.....) Lots of ammo to carry... but I wanna go for a killing round/// not the M16's "wounding " round.......(fun discussion on this... if ye wanna play) See.... the Military survivalist.... vs. the ............hummmmm... so wot are the other thoughts.....? Dang... some of us are going for the most efficent Killing.... (and didn't pyrates do that....) Rats.... think I'm getting "caught=up" with the story.......... An' wit' th' AK.... I can get more rum and wenches an' loot than I could live wit'..... OK that would be my downfall..... but it would be interesting.....................
Red Cat Jenny Posted November 7, 2006 Author Posted November 7, 2006 Patrick, very well thought out. Hmm good points ye make. Callenish! I think ye may rewrite yerself inta history mate! I can see yer cigarette boat laden wi treasure and folk standin on the deck sayin "what was that?" as ye leave in a flurry of spray! Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
Ransom Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 "Much as I luv Ransom, not my first pick! Sorry, luv." ..... "Sorry Ransom, had the thread been, 'Who would ye take to a tropical island fer a short trip?' Ye'd be first on my list; and we could both bring sun screen!" Guess I shoulda told ya, my Grandma taught me how to shoot a .22 when I was around seven. I have shot black powder weapons, and did bullseye at fifty yards the very first time I fired a musket. I still own a shotgun. I used to motorcycyle camp for years, so packing light is second nature, as is roughing it. No, I don't know how to sail, but I'm a real fast learner. But, if I had to pick who I'd take with me, I think it would be Patrick. He seems to have the game down pretty good, and I'd love to see the expressions on the faces of other pirates when they see his flag - still my favorite, BTW. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Capt. Sterling Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Okay, so I take it no one wants to try and blend in, what? **snigger** "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...

Ransom Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Sorry, Captain, but , like that line from a movie.... "Yeah, right, like you blend." ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

CrazyCholeBlack Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Okay, so I take it no one wants to try and blend in, what? **snigger** I'd be happy to blend. Though I can't managed to blend in daily life. Don't know I'd be any better back then either.

Blind Pew Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Just for fun I was considerin.....OK you just recieved a trip back to the GaOP you are leaving from modern today and will be returned in 1 yr. What 12 items will ye pack? My good machete from El-Salvador My good hunting knife with a Sharpening stone A multi barrel matchlock boarding gun, built by John Buck. Some triple antibiotic ointment, disguised as a bottle of me Mother wound salve. Water purification pills, ground into powders and folded into paper packets. Baking soda to scrub my teeth. Multi-Vitamins a strike a light, permanent match. a magnifying lense. A jar of Cinnamon A Jar of Curry Powder And a Jar of Ginger Its not so much as what I'd take back, but what I would bring home. A map to the most seclude spot that I could think of, so I can bury and age some booty to sell on E-Bay!
Silkie McDonough Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Guess I need to read the dental hygiene thread. I thought Baking Soda was available then. Mind you, I didn't assume that they used it for that purpose. In fact that is part of the reson I didn't list it or toothpaste.

"Broadside" Long Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I'd take ... toilet paper. Lots and lots of toilet paper!

Coastie04 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I seem to have missed this one in the past. I'd bring the following: -A modern tall ship replica in steel with wood plating (probably square tops'l schooner or the likes) and reinforced hardpoints for .50 cal machine guns, engine (possibly an advanced steam engine), radar, reverse osmosis machine (making water), etc. -.50 cal machine guns and ample ammo -Bullet proof vest -Semi-auto shotgun w/ammo incl. slugs for longer range 'defense' -Disinfectant of some sort -Sig P229 .40 w/ extra magazines and ammo -Camera, batteries, lenses, etc. -History of major financial changes, price of goods in various ports, etc. -Sextant and necessary publications for navigation backdated to the time -Automatic signing machine programable for a number of high-ranking political and economic hotshots of the era. -Period clothing -A decent quantity of trivial things to sell (I'm thinking along the lines of high-quality padlocks, reams of paper, etc. Something that's better quality of something they're familiar with). Or at least I'd take something along these lines. Coastie She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
