Patrick Hand Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I like... Solstice Morning Star Dart Lucy Yah... I know that's four.... Solstice has a nice sound to it also... I think if we put it to a vote, it might win right now...... Maybe we can run a pub poll and vote on the name.... or should we give it over the weekend so we can think about them a little more ?

William Brand Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Give everyone who has voted a chance to vote again on the final three, but no pub poll. That might start the whole process over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hand Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 but no pub poll. That might start the whole process over... Well I didn't figure it would be "Pub wide".... just in the Pirates in Paridise thread.... I haven't seen a poll in the pub in a long time.... but if I remember correctly... once you cast you vote, you can't vote again.... but you can then see the results..... list the four we have, then vote on one of those.... But like I typed eairier, maybe we should wait over the weekend before we think of (maybe) setting one up....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Ahhh, sorry. I was thinking an open thread. I forgot about the one vote option for true polls. On a similar, but altogether different note... Once a name is chosen, I would like to begin working on the draughts for the sloop. Sloops of several varieties were being made between 1710 an 1720. The Jamaican Sloops, Bermuda sloops, and the English cutters, which are as much like sloops as can be had, apart from a different shape in hull design. The Jamaican sloops underwent several changes in hull design from year to year, with the English experimenting in the shape of hulls for the purpose of testing maneuverability. By 1711, they had weeded out some very unstable designs and sloop building was fast becoming an art form. I would like to base the design on elements found on sloops between 1710 and 1717. My biggest question is this...Do we want a one mast or two mast sloop? The Jamaican sloop Ferret was built in 1711 as a one mast sloop, but later converted to a two mast sloop sometime after 1715. So we could say that our sloop was a one mast sloop which was refitted for two, or we could stick with one mast. It doesn't matter much either way, but from a rendering perspective I'll need to know before I start. Thoughts? Examples: One mast... Two masts...

Dorian Lasseter Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hmmmm... both single and two masted I like, but... Most folks when ya say 'Sloop' think of a single masted vessel...

William Brand Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 There isn't a period vessel that I am aware of named the Solstice, and I no of no other reference to Solstice in popular culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hand Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 So far, an unofficial tally....... Morning Star [6] Solstice [3] Dart [2] Lucy [2] I don't know if anyone would want to change thier vote after finding out that Morning Star was used in Cutthroat Island.... It still sounds cool....

Ol Man From the Sea Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 To me Solstice says either There is no where to go but down or You've hit rock bottom If only the "or" were an "and", it would really be a Pyrate thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
