Storyline
You are an Ex Privateer for the Royal Navy.
You just got out of work, but all you know how to do is Privateer!
You meet a man named Richard "Cotton-Mouth" Jones.
He tells you that you can use your privateering skills to sink and plunder ships!
You believe this is wrong, and where about to report him to the Navy, but then you think of how you have nothing to fall back onto..
You decide to become a Pirate.
You buy a ship and hire a crew, then set sail onto new adventures...

Rules

1. Try to be as descriptive as possible. This will help roleplaying massively. Don't post things like *Pirate waves to Pirate2* This isn't REAL roleplaying... Try to use nice vocabulary, but try to keep it like that of the mid 1800's.
   
2. Spellchecking is nice...
   
3. One character per person.
   
4. No God-Modes. Minor god moding is tolerated... But you can't have "A magical sword that kills anything in one jab".
   
5. Once you die, you have the option to make a new character, or quit.
   
6. No controlling others. You may idle them, For instance, if a skeleton army of Jolly Roger comes charging in, and you'd assume they'd run, you may say something like *runs with Pirate 3*... but no making major decisions for them. (Of course, that example breaks rule 1)
   
7. All forum rules apply
   
8. If you wish to talk out of character, use (OOC)(/OOC) so all the others know it's not your character.
