Rumba Rue Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 My feelings on this after reading what's here so far, is I'm against it.
Silkie McDonough Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Well, I go away for two days and this is what happens! Thanks guys, I'm really touched. Foxe ...all here are a bit touched!
Rumba Rue Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Any particular reason why Rumba? I'm against it because number 1, it causes hard feelings for those who weren't nominated, and number 2, it causes favoritism. It just seems that all I see are those who have history knowledge. There's a whole bunch of other areas that weren't even discussed. This sort of thing has been done on another site I go to and trust me when I say people get hurt feelings when they aren't nominated even though they've put in lots of input.

Aye, I agree with Rue. . . not every pirate has the thickest of skins and our ilk, once hurt upon the heart, go many years aching sadness. Piracy Pub, the ways I sees it, is more about sharing the booty, not electing the cap'n. I lift a rum to all of ye. . . yer all pirates of the year in m'book, says I.
Silkie McDonough Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Didn't look at it that way since I'm not in the running so I don't need thick skin. I had thought of that, there are many who do things behind the scenes. Being new, I think everyone needs an award except me!
Gentleman of Fortune Posted January 1, 2007 Author Posted January 1, 2007 Ahhh.... But I never said "lets have an award for the person that was the most authentic, or had the best group..." I thought it would be cool to have an annual recognition award for the person that has done a lot for the hobby in general and has been a great pirate kind of good will ambassador. They don't even have to be a member here (but it would be nice). And nobody has to nominate in a post, you can send me a who and why to my e-mail or pm' me. Greg aka GoF Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!
