Hey guys. Happy to be here.
Name: Rob M. (but I will be using a character name in the game) Nickname: (character name?) William Thorne Age: 35 Ship's Name: Lady Scarlet Ship's Class Desired: whatever is going to be strong enough to blow my prey out of the water. Favorite weapon: scimitar
I've been playing FPS games for a while and liked them, but I'd love to get involved in a large online group and PotBS looks like it might be the one for me.
By day I work in the world of broadcast television. I'm an overpaid button pusher with way too many years of experience.
I am also heavily involved in the Burning Man community. I work for the organization while the event is taking place. Its a fun job and I work with a bunch of guys that have taken up the pirate image. They call themselves "The Pirates of the Ghonorrean" and have cut up a VW bus to look like a crude pirate ship. (its a sight to behold)
Their target out on the empty desert of Burning Man, is the infamous La Contessa. A galleon built around a schoolbus (http://davepics.com/Album/2002/08-28.Burning_Man/tn/DSC00725.med.jpg) Its a long story, but we "appropriated" her colors when she ran agound on a sand dune out in the middle of the desert, so technically, she belongs to us now. (however I think the owner might debate that)
So as you can see, its a pirates life for me.
I'm looking forward to being an active part of the Black Fleet and am willing to help out however I can.
Thanks for the invite.

Favorite Weapon: Cutlass Mr. Leadblade, If ye be still off port come ashore and strike up some chatter so that I can ask ye a few questions. 1) what type o pirate be ye? Meaning do ye want a 104 gun or do ye feel more at home aboard a modest 30 gun brigantine? 2) Do ye enjoy adding a wee bit o' pirate slang in your messages? Do ye plan on Roleplaying at all? If so how serious? 3) What type o' leadership role would you be interested in? Squadron, assist Squadron? Pirates in those roles would be of more than a casual gaming period. What type of gamer are ye? Have you had a command posistion on another guild? Do you feel it is better that yer fellow fleetmates have fun on an expedition at the expense of loot? I have a few more questions I will put to ye once I have a handle on what your looking for. Cap'n Worley

Ahoy lads an lassies.. my name is Capt'n Longstreet.. a pleasure to meet ya all. I have just dropped anchor.. and I will have a look about .
I sailed with the Brotherhood of FIST.... prior to dropping my anchor here. I was with them since the founding of that fine brotherhood.
I reside in Nevada. USA Im 64 years and semi retired. work fer myself.. have investment here in USA, and abroad... in the Philippines. In life I own a 67' Ketch..presently moored in Seattle Washington..in my brothers care.
I care for peoples pets...with my home business Pet Taxi
Why I stopped here. why I have enjoyed Captain Whorley. we have exchanged a post or two here. He is the only reason ..im here at the moment. I know nothing about you all..as u the same with me.
Non-the-less..this is a start.
I prefer a fast frigate fer a pirate ship.. and indeed my ships name is the Black Swan
I have named all my ships in sevral games that..space ships or boats.
I'm kind of jumping all around here... played WOW, EnB, SWG, Guild wars, coh, and presently im playing EVE... played it since beta
Im not a gentleman.. anbd I do not pretend to be one. hehe Im a pirate..and I do act accordingly. I say what is on my mind... if u don't want to hear my opinion...then don't ask for it...arrrgh Im hoping to pilage a plunder with The Black Fleet.
I dis like "afk".. I hope when we r on a mission...we hang in until mission is done...before the afk's start. seems a problem with large groups..gets other people killed..or their own character killed.
that pretty much some up what I have to say.. I have no problem with ansering reasonmable questions... and like wise I'm sure I will have questions as we become more familiar with each other..
arrgh Fair winds an calm seas..mates Capt'n Longstreet

Aye we've exchanged tails of hairy chest wenches and ye pilfered me wenchin map. Those be the locations of a few governors daughters and I'll be needin that back!
Ye anchored a good many years wit' the FIST, can I be askin ye why ye no longer be feelin that thar warm homey feelin wit them any more?
Regardless of yer intentions about yer signing our articles ye be welcome here for as long as ye feel comfortable. Me time is short, but drink up and spin a yarn er two in the pub.
I like to get into my role and it just comes natural to type this way.. Only problem is it sound better when I say it in my head. ;D Best Regards,

harharhar... Capt'n Whorley ..my new friend.. It is not right to air ones dirty laundry. simple to say..I used bad judgement...hell no judgement...spinnin a tale some place here at in forums. Apparently I offended somebody....and I was reported. You have heard the expression "loose lips ..sink ships" well I did it to me self. I still have many friends thar...and I'm loyal to them too. I stillconsider them me brothers and sisters. If u would like to know moew... ..Speak with Capt'n Bluddworth..send him a message.. He is the head guy there..or Capt Von Reinhardt. both i consider friends. I supose u could say I must have a enemy there....hmm This all sounds contridictory..but really it is not. DevilsDaughter an Balifore are two other members you could speak with as well. Theyboth know me well, and know of my loyality.... wether i agree or not with a brother..I am loyal an back them all the way. I was a founding brother of that fine Brotherhood. and I'd sail anytime into battle...with them..ifin that oportunity..did a rise.. arrrgh. IT brings a tear to me eyes. snif' snif' when I think about this matter. nah! nah! nah! that is just some dust in me eye. arrrgh "By the crimson setting sun, I drink all night wit ya Capt'n Whorley...until the morni' sun. Together mate we breath in the smell of cannon fire...and wittness our deeds on fire ..on the waters below" these words were uttered by lomgstreet before he passed out at the stern of his ship and fell into the sea..pulling Captain Whorley in after him.....arrgh Captain Longstreet

I hope when we r on a mission...we hang in until mission is done...before the afk's start. seems a problem with large groups..gets other people killed..or their own character killed. Enough said, I didnt want details, but I will point you to the rules(snatch somewhat from PotBS forum ;D) I've smelt yer socks bucko, I nay want to be gettin personable wit yer under garments. Things be laid back here, but we do have a few guidelines. Should nay be a problem if'n we watch yer consumption o' rum. -------------- There will be rules to limit such things, but at times life tends to sneak up on you and hit one upside the head. Because I have a 2 yr old running around during the day, I may not group hunt until the evening or at the very least tell people before hand what to expect. If Alexander starts to put his finger in the light socket..... need I say more. ;D (Richard snatched Longstreet by the collar and lifted his head above water) Blast ye man, I nay be wantin to bathe an I had me monthly dip nay but 3 weeks back. It be clear that ye nay be able to hold yer drink me waterlogged compatriot. Ye know it……. *Noticing that Longstreets ship is getter farther away* Avast ye sightless lot o' bilge rats, can ye nay be seeing yer Captain be swimmin wit the sharks!?! LONGSTREET!! Yer ship be sailin wit’out us an yer night watch is slumbering as well!! This be the last time I put wind to sail on yer ship, mark me words, this carelessness won't go past wit’out consequences. Now whirs me hat?
