Mutiny is Expensive

2011-09-11T19:29:00.000-05:00

Still not back into YPP enough that I have long interesting posts to offer you, all I have are a couple of screen shots, the first is posted cause it might make you laugh, the second cause I had a good fight with a pirate that actually stuck around to chat a bit about how much we enjoyed trying to stab each other.

Osiric Offends Faytel

Mad Talk

2011-04-27T11:45:00.000-05:00

Izobel wanted to lead a pillage and so I decided to join her, having promised such a think last week and fallen short of keeping my vow. I invited my friend Faytel to come along as well. Faytel really loves to pillage.

It was a nice normal voyage with little to report. Money was made, brigands were stabbed.

And then I started having the strangest conversation with Izobel and Acilles. (Not to mention the even stranger nonsense conversation going in in the background of flag officer chat. And no, none of us really believe that.)

Mr. Mouthy

2011-04-27T11:01:00.002-05:00

Faytel wanted to go on a pillage and I decided to go with her, so we found a ship that had room for two more and joined. The ship was Boring Sawfish, owned by the crew Opulence and captained by Tabogus. We kept going to these islands where we had to man the guns and then fight vikings. Neither of us had ever gone on this voyage type before. It was chaotic and I wasn't sure what was going on, but I got to shoot things then stab or punch them, so that's good enough for me.

Start of each battle I'd be yelling me cry of, "Poke 'em in the eye!" This one scurvy infested mate kept rambling on and on about nonsense and not always making any sort of sense at all. At the start of one battle this Mr. Mouthy actually told me to stop yelling me battle cry. Faytel and I were already highly annoyed by him and wishing he'd be planked, so crossing me was probably not the best thing he could have done. Hell hath no fury like a woman with a blog.

On the plus side, he was a shining example to us of why Faytel should learn to bnav so we can lead our own pillages and plank the lazers, boochers, back seat navers, and chat spammers. He was all four.

No other problems and I still count it as a good voyage. Getting a plus one in my shares probably sweetened that pot for me.

After the voyage was over Faytel wanted to be looking at new threads. Having nothing better to do I tagged along. Her great sense of fashion was just as impeccable trying things on as it is normally. She still dressed like me.

Then Cyanos called to me to eye his ghost rat. Nice creepy little critter. Wins my approval.

Arachne Goes On a Pillage

2011-04-26T09:01:00.000-05:00

Mark your calendars, it may not happen again for a long time. I was at the inn stabbing people when I randomly decided to check to see who was jobbing and I noticed my own mate Cyanos was trying to fill a ship. I got the sudden pillage bug and decided to join him.

One of our first jobbers was dressed much like myself only in different colors. I of course complimented her style. She thanked me, but then I guess she got impatient and left before the ship filled.

Eventually we had a full set of jobbers which included two of our other crew mates, Tikao and Cleopetra. It was a good little crew and our duty reports were excellent across the board many times.

And then a severe thunderstorm chased me off the ocean after only two or three battles, so I didn't take note of the names of the mates with us, sorry.

Touchy Flag

2011-04-14T22:13:00.002-05:00

I followed my Queen Captain Tikao to her favorite distilling stall and thought among the rum was a good time to try and get her to do odd things for my entertainment. She can belly dance ya know, but he refused to dance with fire in her hands or a flaming hoola hoop. She also made some lame excuse about how balancing a sword on her belly would hurt her back. Then she just stopped responding at all. So I mutinied. And that's when King Captain Sea Vagrant of Sea Vagrants came in.

Fed up with being ignored I informed Queen Captain Tikao I was leaving her for King Captain Sea Vagrant who was sure to never ignore me and make me a princess. For some odd reason he didn't want me, I'm not sure why. I'm very agreeable. Don't believe me, just ask me. I'll tell you that I am.

Then we all made up and there was touching involved.

Fun With Alts

2011-01-05T15:12:00.004-06:00

The following is a true alt story, but the name has been blocked out to preserve future stalking possibilities. In this story the person in question will be refereed to only as The Alt.

The Alt jobbed for Disneymama, who looks suspiciously like a papa. They were hitting imperial outposts, which forced me to buy a pirate badge for The Alt, but I bought it too late as I jumped on at the end of the voyage and thus it was over. When we ported the conversation was over the imperial outposts as well as sea monster hunting.

I'll be randomly popping in on alts and seeking people who may read the log or be friends of those that read the log. Try to guess the alt and post your guess in the comment.

Nightly Pillage

2011-01-04T15:00:00.000-06:00

When trying to speak to the crew, I spoke only to the ship and covered by telling everyone on the ship they were drunk and hearing things. Gravee I guess felt she needed to actually be drunk for my story to work, so she distracted herself from her job for a bit to do the drinking.

And for the second day in a row, I found Tikao sitting alone on a ship. This time it was a small ship and one of her own. Which is still sad, but not as odd as sitting on a stranger's grand frigate.

I Came, I Stalked, I Pillaged.

Pirate Log: Sea Date 27.12.2010

I was invited to some sort of gawk at Izobel party. I did not want to feel left out so when I got there I gawked at her as well.

I then had to go take a bath, though I assure you, it was not because a gawking party made me feel dirty. Upon my return there was sniffing and comments about me smelling better. I'm sure the jobbers thought we were mad, and they'd be correct in that assumption.

Gravee lead was already on a pillage upon my return from my bath. I had asked her to wait for me when she announced it before my bath but dirty pirate money does not wait for me to get clean.

After we docked Jumonto realized the skeleton in the cage at the bow of the boat was his father. His father had apparently upset Gravee some time in the past. Jumonto was in denial about the condition his father was now in and kept trying to talk to the skeleton. It should have been his clue when the skeleton did not move or reply, but he insisted his father still lived and had simply lost weight.

Voxdei showed up about that time and attempted to greet everyone, but overlooked the one jobber we had and more importantly, Jumonto.

After having to spend time comforting Jumonto, I decided to stalk Tikao and stab her. When I arrived at the island in question however I found she was hiding in a stranger's house so I couldn't do her harm. I also noticed on that same island were Ms. Big and Izobel. I stalked them both.

I then joined Lord Captain SeaVagrant on his nightly pillage upon his fiery ship.

We engaged The Widow Queen in a battle and the rules were placed before the crew on exactly how to handle the situation. I assure the Lord Captain someone wouldn't listen and would take out the Widow Queen. Despite me being right, we won anyway. And that should have been cause for celebration, but two of members on board did not want to celebrate, but brought down the morale for everyone by making a big deal about the inability to team according to orders. I won't mention any names, but they were two of the men on board and neither was Reezoo. (because he was the one on The Widow Queen. The other teaming on the bk was Tikao, but I didn't tell on her.)

After the pillage was over I retreated to my town house on Tigerleaf Mountain to put my money in my chest. It was there that I was stalked by Izobel and then Hazy. Well, really there was a break between the stalking where I went to Dragon's Nest to make toys. My ADD kicked in while Izobel was visiting and I forgot I had a quest and left her alone in my house.

At least I did not pick on anyone's name today. There was enough of that going on yesterday.

What's In a Name?: Happy Birthday Izobel

2010-12-26T14:19:00.001-06:00

Pirate Log: Sea Date 12.26.2010

I noticed a pillage was ending or some type of voyage, I assumed it was a pillage, but did not ask. One of the jobbers, Fiveforfight joined the crew as a full member. I was among those that welcomed him of course, but I was feeling cheeky and with a name like that he was just asking for it. Lord Captain Sea Vagrant went away for a bit shortly after the new guy joined so he missed most of what was said. I asked Fiveforfight if his parents were drunk when they named him. This sparked some fun and friendly conversation between myself and the new guy as well as a couple of crew mates. I mentioned how Fiveforfight had an ego and was violent. He didn't understand why I'd assume that, but it's all in his name. He thinks he has the strength of five men and is looking for a fight.

Jumonto asked me if I was accusing his parents of being drunk at his naming at one point, but I assure him though I guessed his parents were from some exotic location, I didn't not think they were drunk.

I also made the comment of how Gravee's name makes me think of death and thus is also a violent name. She just laughed and I sent a heart her way.

Fiveforfight was challenging me by this time and assuring me he could beat me very easily. (Without knowing who's alt he is, I don't listen to such bravado.) I would have challenged him, but I was getting the feeling he was taking it all a little too serious so instead I slyly started to clam it down without letting on I was doing so. Lord Captain SeaVagrant returned about that time and thus gave us all a nice out. I assured him I did not pick on anyone in his absence. He of course did not believe me and others were quick to inform on me to the captain. Someone said I picked on everyone. I then corrected them and reminded them all I did not pick on Sassyer because I was too afraid to and if the name was any indication, she was sassier than I. And I reminded them I had to pick on the new guy, hazing is a time honored tradition for new members of any group. And I had to pick on Gravee because I considered her the senior officer in charge in the captain's absence and thus I had to share the riches with her as well.

Fiveforfight again said he'd beat me in sword fighting, and I said he wouldn't because I'd take off my corset and bounce then he'd fold and crumble like any woman loving man would. He told me I was inappropriate. The Lord Captain told him to get used to it. (Five years and I haven't been reported yet. . . am I tempting fate?)

Lord Captain SeaVagrant then distracted myself and several others by taking us out on a pillage. We pillage every day, I just don't write about that everyday.

After the pillage we decided to hang out in the flag hall of Sea Change. On the way there I stopped at Arachne's shack on Jubilee to steal some of her clothes. She owes me for killing me and stealing everything I had. Well, before that I did a little love shower, my first for Sea Change. The Bandits of course knew what was coming when I announced in flag officer chat I was doing one and cheered even before I hit them with the poe I was throwing. You'd think that'd hurt? I received one doubloon and one poe back during the Love Shower. First time I'd ever gotten a doub thrown back at me. (I think Arachne did a Love Shower for Brink of Dawn one Christmas where she threw doubs instead of poe. Love Showers started with Ramina all the way back when she was in IC.)

Anchovia was all sly after the Love Shower and threw 69 pieces of eight at me, then fled before I could throw any back. I used to do that to people too, brought back some memories. Happy ones. ♥

We lingered in the ballroom of the flag hall for a little bit. For some reason we often linger in that room. Pandrosos entered the hall and she was wearing a talbard as a mini dress. I commented on the sexy look and Yahreali said that the Lord Captain recruited based on sexual appeal and that he then couldn't figure out whey Izobel was recruited. Izobel was in the corner reading some poetry so he was sure she didn't hear him, but I then informed him that I write about everything that happens and Izobel likes to read my logs.

We switched room because SeaVagrant told us that Gravee would be putting up a local tourney, but she failed and made it ocean-wide. It was drinking so I did not join it, though I might have if it'd truly been local. Any of us who throw parties have made this same mistake at least once. I've given away nice things to strangers that were meant for flag mates before.

Yahreali continued to pick on Izobel and was obsessed with saying there was sexual tension between the two of them and that she should just give in. I was distracted and don't know exactly what was said prior, but Iz was saying there was more of us and we could beat up Yahreali, but he was sure we couldn't, so I challenged him. I do love to stab people. He tried to say he'd pulled a muscle and couldn't fight, but I didn't back down so he drew his sword. Then when he was laying in a pool of his own blood with me standing over him with my bloody sword he informed the others that we tied. They didn't believe him.

Hazy joined us, though I think she was there more for the tournament board. I reached out and touched her and she petted me back.

It was Izobel's birthday, but I did not have adequate warning so I didn't have anything special for her. I did have an extra wardrobe and asked her, she had none at all. So I went home to fetch it and then carried it all the way back to Jubilee to give it to her for her birthday.

As I was saying my farewells for the night, I realized that Yah and Iz were on a date, but then Yah told dumped her during the date for Lakina.

And yes, I realize I used the wrong minor.

Why is the Rum Gone?

2010-11-14T14:59:00.001-06:00

I helped move a ship full of wood across the ocean for Lapislaz, queen of Sea Change. My captain, Seavagrant, was also there and seeing strange things in the ocean. He kept claiming he saw a trinkos. I told him it was an affect of too much rum and that he should have some more. So he drank it all.

We ran into trouble and lost some wood, but we only found trouble once that we couldn't run from, so it was a pretty good run. Despite Seavagrant drinking all the rum.

Tikao is an Old Maid

2010-11-14T14:45:00.002-06:00

I stalked Tikao to an inn where I kept trying to challenge her to fight me, but she kept picking rumble fights with others instead. Then Lord Luci stalked us there as well and Tikao said she was going to eat that Lord Luci needed to fight for her. I told her it was not becoming for a pirate queen to need a champion and refused to fight him. Mostly because he'd win, even with a stick. But I didn't get mad and call her names. I'd never do such a thing.

To distract me, Tikao ordered Lord Luci to lead a pillage, which he did. At the end of said pillage, we caught ourselves a new crew mate, Pelos. Pelos rocked and was good at teaming. I smell an alt. But I like him so far anyway, and he stuck with us even after losing two battles, though one doesn't really count as it was against Azabard.

But You Can't Lose at Rumble?

Pirate Log: sea date 08.11.10

When greeting a bunch of sassy, cheeky pirates it might be best not to refer to them as, "a bunch of others." They won't really be offended, but the will sure call you out on it.

The Pillage
I went on a pillage with my own crew with Seavagrant at the helm of his inferno sloop.

When entering a sword fight, Seavagrant had told us to stall. I did at first, but then I realized it was going to be an easy fight and stopped stalling. I'm not sure any of us were even knocked out of the fight and we did in fact win. I did not tell him that I didn't stall. Infernodragn also did not inform anyone of any lack of stalling. As far as Seavagrant knows, we all followed orders and stalled and that's why we won.

There is a battle we lost and it left several of us questioning our believes and our faith in the universe. The last ship of the night we attacked were barbarians and we actually lost against them. I did not think it was possible to lose at rumble at sea. Disillusioned with the world and the way of things we ported and all went our separate ways to go cry it off.

Not Fighting With Tikao

2010-11-07T22:26:00.000-06:00

Pirate Log: sea date 07.11.10

Pillage One

I took a job with the Royal Pillagers which had Dunkhan at the helm of a large ship. There was very little madness or randomness on board and so the voyage was rather on the boring side. Tikao put her fish on her head to try and amuse me and that did work for a short time.

Tikao also demanded a present for getting her Fifth Order of the Jolly Roger, but as she did not give me a present for such a thing last month, I did not get her one this month.

Tikao was not the only pirate on the ship who had strange things on her head.

My own crew tried to distract me with talk of cookies, and hiding said cookies. We discovered that Gravee is not very good at hiding things from fellow flag mates. The flag hall does not make a good hiding place.

On Shore

After the pillage on the large ship which paid out as well as expected, which is to say almost nothing, I stood around on the shore of Tigerleaf a bit with Tikao, Captainflood, and Dunkhan.

They talked about how the island was run by a brigand king and how someone should take it. I suggested they take it, but they all started making excuses about how lazy there were. I did the pirate thing to do and called them, “a bunch of soft landlubbers.”

Pillage Two
Fleeing the shore of Tigerleaf and the anger royals and monarch of Brink of Dawn I decided to hide out on my crew's own ship. Seavagrant was behind the helm of his inferno ship. When I arrived I noticed no one had the carp station so I took it, but as soon as I did a jobber asked for it. She cried thinking I wasn't going to give it her, but on most days I enjoy to sail as much as I enjoy to carp.

Seavagrant had a bit of bad luck on the ocean. Happens to everyone ever now and again. He just told us to fight harder, and so we did. Of course we won.

After winning that tough fight, we took kraken blood from the other ship. I asked if I could bathe in it, but Seavagrant gave me his typical answer of, “maybe later.” That is starting to become a habit with him.

One of the jobbers lamented about his lack of a good duty report on bilge, but Vagrant told him it was fine so long as the bilge was kept empty. Gravee asked him if it was okay for her to keep the guns empty, but he said it was not. Then I asked if it was okay for me to keep the sails empty, but he said it was not. I told him he shouldn't be so disagreeable and that if he didn't keep us in cookies we'd mutiny, but he was sure I'd be alone in my mutiny attempts. I'm not really one for a mutiny anyway, -unless it's the crew Mutiny, they're full of madness and fun.

Seavagrant ordered me off sails and onto carpantry, but when I went to my favorite station to take it over Tikao, the captain of Dark Horizon and queen of Brink of Dawn was on my station. I stood there staring at it, but she still didn't move, so I shoved her off it. Seavagrant ordered us not to fight.

Doing the right thing as an officer in Poseidon's Wrath I followed my captain's orders of not fighting with Tikao. I did not throw things at her, blame her when things went wrong, or get into a whole conversation -that Tik didn't seem to notice- with Gravee and Seavagrant about how I wasn't fighting with Tikao. I did not put gum in her hair.

I did not point out when she booched her station.

When we ported I did not push, shove, or eye her in any malicious way because Seavagrant had told me not to fight with her.

Tikao however did not seem to get the memo and when I tried to bribe the jobbers to join the crew full time with cookies -which Vagrant offered them first- Tikao said I would not share because I was stingy. I tried to tell my captain she was picking a fight with me.

I did not wait to see what he'd say however and decided to take matters into my own hands. A good officer takes initiative. So I stabbed Tikao.

In a bit on randomness I informed those who were left on deck, which were Tiako, Seavagrant, myself, and our new crew member Colliemnm, that my large dead fish I carry to smack barbarians with matched out my dress. I did not pick a fight with Tikao by pointing out that her dead fish did not match her dress or that she'd worn it on her head in an earlier battle when jobbing for Dunkhan.

Red versus Blue

There was a lot of stabbing going around on the ship after that. Both my captain Seavagrant and the captain Tikao stabbed me twice.

Seavagrant ordered us to put on our makeup, which I thought was a very strange command, but I did as I was told. I even loaned Tikao some of my lipstick, but I accidentally dropped her mascara over board. It slipped. I was very sorry for it.

Then Tikao seemed to think I'd gone mad and asked why I was sailing in port. What a strange question to ask. The reason is so obvious, I won't insult anyone by repeating it here.

Colliemnm is a good new addition to the crew and decided that if I check sails she might need to check guns. Yep, they were full already. Good job, Colli

Mutiny Stalking

2010-11-07T21:46:00.000-06:00

I tried to mutiny.

When that didn't work, I just stalked Tikao instead.

Maybe Later

2010-11-06T11:06:00.000-05:00

Pirate Log: sea date 06.11.10

I noticed Seavagrant was leading a pillage, so I asked if I could keep one of the jobbers, but he only said, "Maybe later."

Then a bit later after having joined the pillage myself I asked if I could bath in the kraken blood we found, but his answer was the same.

I received another trophy. I almost never know why I get these things. I either have to look it up on the YPPedia, or ask Tikao. Or comment about it here and then Tikao will read this and tell me. Though sometimes I get confused and mix up if I received a trophy or a trinket.

First Full Day in Sea Change

2010-11-05T17:24:00.000-05:00

Pirate Log: sea date 05.11.10

It was a very good first full day in my new flag and I'm loving all my flag mates so far. They are friendly and pleasant.

Pillage One
I was a bit bored and decided it was a good time to job randomly off the notice board. Not wanting to show up on an empty ship and then get bored and leave, I was going down the jobbing list and checking to see how full ships were. The first four had only the captain on board. Then I found one that was almost full and by coincidence, had a crew member of mine on it as well. I took that as a sign of fate and took a job for Saphiq of The Shadow Falcons.

At one point I told Saphiq I was just as good at sailing as I was at carpentry, but it seems I lied and am better at sailing. Or was at that moment at any rate. Throughout the day my standing in sailing went up once and down three times. My carpentry too was up and down all day. It seems I'm shaking off the cobwebs from having been dead, but am not quite back to my former glory.

Also during this pillage someone was nice enough to cover me in a rumble match. I'm not sure who that was, but it was very sweet.

Pillage Two
I took a job with the crew Mutiny of the flag Sea Change. Rockis was at the helm and probably pretty happy as his ship was full of only other women. I believe it may have been Joeyjo's ship however as she kept yelling for people not to step on her junk which was littered all over the deck.

During the voyage I crossed paths with Rascalyred. I have not seen her in forever, not since the day I died (When I cleared my hearty list thinking I'd never play Ramina again.) She greeted me as Mina just like she used to back in the old days and now several of the other flaggies also refer to me as Mina. I don't mind at all, I kinda like it, especially since most people mispronounce Rami with a long a, which makes me think of a sheep.

Pillage Three
My third pillage of the day was also with Mutiny. They are starting to feel like a second home already.

Pillage Four
The fourth pillage of the day I went on was lead by Batomatic of Still Of The Night under the flag Sea Change. This was a very interesting pillage full of madness and randomness. And Joeyjo, who was on three of the four pillages I went on this day.

At some point Batomatic asked the crew if they liked her reenactment of the movie Titanic. I had missed what had happened, but I think it may have looked something like this.

Captainflood was also distracted by his duty station at the time and missed it as well. I asked Batomatic to redo it for him, which she later did (as evident by the shot above.) I told her that her reenactment made me cry and she said it made her cry too.

Among the randomness was singing. Joey sang a song about a bee and I sang a song about a pirate losing her corset at sea.

As the hour got late both myself and Joeyjo told Batomatic we needed sleep. She tricked us into staying for another battle but fate was against us sleeping and there was a lot more engaging and disengaging before we reached port, and some treasure haul in between. I ended up staying up two hours later than I had intended.

During that last battle of the night I had finally asked why Batomatic keeps speaking in code. Joey told me I was trying to complicate things and proceeded to explain the code. I am still lost. It's a good thing I never pay attention to the score anyway.

As we neared the port and thought sleep was just around the corner, the ship we were trying to avoid, turned around and came after us. We had already had our one last battle and just wanted sleep.

The weary ship made it to port and sleep was ours. The pillage had been fun and I made new friends. I love making new friends. Having friends is awesome.

New Hearties

Rami Joins - Poseidon's Wrath -

2010-11-04T12:03:00.000-05:00

Pirate Log: sea date 04.11.10

Tired of being alone all the time, I decided to seek a new crew. I can not sit around waiting for glory days to return and need to seek new glory. So I joined Poseidon's Wrath of the flag Sea Change.

One of the first things I did as a new officer in the crew was to listen to the strange advice of someone in the pub.

Captain Seavagrant then stabbed me to prove his mettle and show me who was boss. I tried to defend, but was unsuccessful.

Give Me Cookies!

2010-11-04T12:01:00.000-05:00

I stalked my queen captain to find her sword fighting in her basement on Windward Vale. I thought if she wanted to fight, it might as well be against me. And I actually won this time, too.

After that Tik complained about a headache and went to bed. Was probably the gash in her side bothering her though. With no one left to stab I decided to join Seavagrant on his mango-fruit-salad-with-orange-slices ship.

I almost did well when we were digging for treasure. For a second the entire ocean was impressed with my skill. Then I guess they realized it was just the sun glinting off the treasure that made it seem like I was doing well and they got unimpressed just as quickly.

When we'd win, Seavagrant would give us cookies, but there was one time he was going to be greedy and hold out. Probably wanted them all to himself. That's a good way to get a ship to mutiny.

After the pillage was over and the spoiled dived up I decided to linger on board and stare at Seavagrant.

He took offense to the staring and stabbed me, hard.

But then he felt bad for me and gave me cookies.

Something Random

2010-11-03T14:02:00.000-05:00

Pirate Log: sea date 03.11.10

I had heard that the Bootleg Bandits were out in Atlantis and I do love going to Atlantis. Or I did at one time. It's more fun if I'm allowed in the fray more often, but I took up a carpentry station and they were low on hands to carp so I was not let into any fray. As the voyage went on, more and more hands refused to carp and most those on carp did not do a good job, so the ship ended up sinking.

Silvered Whispering Portrait

2010-11-03T14:01:00.000-05:00

I found a new trophey in my collection today. I'm not completely sure why, I think maybe because I took a Halloween portrait with Tikao.

I was bored and demanded Tikao let me stab her after I put in a petition to make myself captain. She was in Atlantis with Falbard however and would not come out to be stabbed. I asked him to plank her, but he would not.

Día de los Muertos

2010-11-02T13:03:00.000-05:00

Pirate Log: sea date 2.11.10

It was the Day of the Dead, so a once dead pirate such as myself felt the need to go allow others to honor her memory. I went first to Atlantis to remember my glory days of being an XO on such events. I wasn't allowed into a single fray however and got rather bored. If I go to Atlantis, I expect to fight dragoons. The voyage was over quickly as the ship ran out of cannon balls and soon we ported. I received no extra trinkets or items.

Tikao had been on the same trip to Atlantis as had Captain Corn. After the trip was over they informed me that Lord Luci was going to hunt some brigand kings, another fun task I used to do a lot of. I could not refuse the offer to join them. After I tried to stab their captain of course. I had to test her mettle to see if she was worthy of hunting brigands with.

The first Brigand King found was Azarbad the Great. He made a big show when he saw us of telling us he'd put out our fires in glorious defeat, but it was he who was defeated.

The second we found was really a barbarian and not a king, but a queen. She was Gretchen Goldfang. She made a nice little speech about taking our riches when we first saw her. She did as she said she would.

Unable to deal with the defeat, I once again returned to my reclusive life.

I Did Nothing

2010-11-02T13:00:00.001-05:00

I stalked Tiako. We were both still done up for Halloween, bit I figured that was okay, since it was the Day of the Dead. Tomorrow I will change.

Maybe I shouldn't have killed my captain the other day. I shall have my father, the great necromancer Vargas the Mad, resurrect her. Then she shall forever be in my debt and maybe my next mutiny will win.

Dead Rat

2010-11-01T13:58:00.000-05:00

I didn't do much. I wanted to mutiny but there was no point when I couldn't find my queen captain. Instead I went to help Seavagrant and arrived just in time to mess up my foraging standing. Not that I'm any good at foraging anyway.

We stood around after the pillage and chatted a bit on the mango fruit salad with orange slices ship. One of the others on board noticed a rat they said was dead, but Seavagrant was sure it was not dead. I was sure it was figment of Jackdogg's imagination and that he'd had too much rum.

There were of course cookies, but I ate them all.

Halloween Mutiny

2010-10-31T14:22:00.001-05:00

I love Halloween, the whole world turns mad and makes my daddy, Vargas the Mad seem like a normal person. Well, and I love the madness, everyone should be mad everyday. I took a break in raiding candy caches to have a portrait done with my queen captain, Tikao. With one eye closed, she couldn't see me coming up behind her with my sword drawn.

At least after the stabbing she looked more ready for Halloween. Her sorry excuse for Halloween clothes just weren't cutting it.

Seavagrant offered me Halloween cookies so I decided to go join him in some fun on the high seas stabbing others and taking their candy. They had pretty shiny swords though that distracted me. Tikao asked me why I ran onto the blades, but I just couldn't help myself. The moonlight glistening off the blades distracted me. Try to say otherwise and yer entrails will hit the deck.

Tikao tried to warn Seavagrant that I might mutiny, but he kept feeding me cookies. Maybe she should try that sometime. It's hard to stab someone when you're nomming on cookies.

Cheating Pirate

2010-10-14T12:15:00.001-05:00

I tried to start the night out with a mutiny, but my last mutiny was still on the table so I couldn't start a new one. The boys are trying to outsmart me on this one.

So I changed tactics and tried to put someone else in charge on my mutiny.

I then went to Tikao's villa -where I also live- to see if she was truly dressed for Halloween as the rumors suggested she was. She was not.

She made some lame excuse about being poor. I don't pillage anymore and I could afford true Halloween clothes, so I know someone that pillages all the time and runs shops and stuff can afford it too.

I challenged her to a fight, which she won. Then I ran off to join Seavagrant. Tikao seemed a little angry she won though, sore winner that one is.

Tik accused me of cheating which caught Flood's attention and he quickly demanded clarification. He said I was his and he'd cut out the eyes of any other man or woman that looked at me.

Mad Ocean

2010-10-13T11:11:00.000-05:00

I started the night off with a nice little mutiny. Every night should begin with mutiny or bloodshed, preferable both at once.

I went to Tigerleaf Mountain because I knew that both Captain Flood and Queen Tikao were there. When I arrived however Tikao left to go to Fintan to stalk Lord Luci instead. That made my choice easy and so I stalked the captain of me heart instead of the captain of me crew.

I found him a furniture shop, but he was in a rumble tournament. Funny how that can work with our strange ocean magics. Every time he entered a match, I'd watch. I'd inform him I was watching and tell him not to disappoint me. Then I'd tell him there was no pressure.

Then came a match I couldn't watch. Again because of funny ocean magic. There really wasn't any pressure on that match.

In the end, Tikao opened her big mouth and distracted Flood so that he lost the tourney. I told him not to take that from her and that he should mutiny.

Then Flood decided he was going to stab me before he ran off to find someone to job with. I stabbed him back on his way out the door.

He gave me some strange words as he left that I can only assume were meant to be wisdom.

The strange words didn't stop with Flood and Vagrant asked me if I liked ostriches. I found all the madness to remind me too much of the isles I grew up on, so I went to bed to sleep it off. Though now that I think of it, it may have been them that needed to go to bed to sleep it off. Perhaps I'll take a nap later to make up the difference.

Ready for Halloween

2010-10-05T13:02:00.000-05:00

One of these pirates is ready for Halloween. Another is trying to be ready by buying a creepy ship. . . guess which one isn't ready at all?

Flood Leaves Ara For Another Woman

2010-09-30T13:29:00.002-05:00

I stalked Flood to an inn where I found him drinking.

While I was still standing there however he ran off to another island. I thought maybe he was playing chase, so I followed only to find him in the villa of another woman.

I checked and she's way better at everything than me and has lots of houses and familiars and stuff, which means she's also way more rich than me. --->Dyrbar

Tikao showed up right about that time so I cried to her about it. She offered to run the other woman through until she heard it was Dyrbar. When your man cheats on you with a woman that's ultimate in sword fighting, there's not much you or your friends can do about it.

I was so distraught, I just had to go to bed.

Vagrant Hearties

2010-09-27T15:20:00.001-05:00

I was in my counting house counting my money when I was stalked by Seavagrant. He's not even on my hearty list, and yet he stalks me. I think he may be better at it than I am. Though I don't stalk near as much as my reputation leads everyone to believe.

He cried like a baby until I added him to my list of hearties. I just felt so sorry for him.

Then later in the day I went out on his mango ship for a pillage.

While there I found someone else who was ready for Halloween. Really I think she was dead, but let's pretend it was for Halloween so I'm not alone in being early.

It's a busy day and I've not the time to write a full post about yesterday right now, so I'll share this random image to tie you all over. Though if you're late reading this, then yesterday's post is back dated and shows as being posted before this does. lol

This is Arachne from Bang Howdy. Or was a few years ago when I tried the game, probably couldn't find that account now if I wanted to.

Thanks for reading and hanging out with me online so I have things to write about. ♥

Ara Lost in a Fight

2010-09-25T21:19:00.000-05:00

I went on a pillage with Smarffe. Captain Flood was there too at first, but then he left to do a competition.

I got a brass button. Not sure what I'd do with only one, a nice coat will take many more.

After the voyage I joined Captain Flood to fight some skellies. There was some annoying kid that kept telling us how many more pirates we needed when the skellies would say something like, “16 of us could beat 13 of you.” I put up with him to fight the skellies, but then when it came time and I tried to vote to start the fray, they gave me my money back and said they didn't want to fight me today. Damn undead things!

After the fight with the skellies Captain Flood fought with Starenigma. I didn't actually watch the fight, as me rum mug needed to be refilled. I had told Flood I'd avenge him if he lost and when I came back it was to see that he'd done just that. Only while I was gone the men seemed to have put me up for grabs and I suddenly find myself being owned by Star. I still own Flood though, if he thinks he can get away that easy he's mistaken. You'd think he'd know by now.

I challenged Starenigma to a battle anyway, got lucky and won. Flood was avenged and I think I own myself once more. From what I'm told of Starenigma's skill with a blade however, I fear he may have let me win.

I asked Starenigma if he liked my Halloween outfit, but he said it was too soon to be wearing it.

Mango Fruit Salad: With Orange Slices

2010-09-24T13:08:00.001-05:00

I decided that it was time to grace my crew with my presence once more. They have been deprived of the wonder that is me long enough and I should be cruel to them no longer. Tikao of course had to show off as soon as I got there and won some sort of competition.

I then decided to stalk Flood while he was out buying clothes. Unfortunately he wasn't completely out of clothing and was wandering around in rags while he did his shopping.

Tikao then called me to pillage and I was going to tell her to shove it, but for some reason I instead told her to tell the captain, Seavagrant, to job me. So off we went on his mango-fruit-salad-with-orange-slices ship. He was kind enough to pass out cookies, so I nommed on the cookies rather than working on my duty station. They were yummy cookies. When I was done with mine, I noticed others were working instead of eating their cookies, so I helped myself to their cookies as well. The duty report then laughed at me for a few leagues, but the cookies were worth it. At the end he asked if anyone would like to join his crew and I said I would, but Tikao put her foot down and said I couldn't. His fear of Tikao was greater than his desire for me.

Flood cried while I was on my pillage because he missed me. I think he just wants the attention though and any girl would do.

Lazy Queen - Kehle

2010-05-27T22:54:00.004-05:00

I decided to stalk Tikao, when I heard that she was in the same arch I live in. I have no potion so I really couldn't stalk her anywhere else. I thought she and Collibri were just doing shop business but then I read the list of managers and realized Tik wasn't on it, so I feared they were talking flag business. Colli assured me they were not and that instead Tik was sleeping on the job she didn't even have.

Love of Bandits - Kehle

2010-05-26T11:55:00.003-05:00

My crew was already in a pillage, which was led by Falbard on the Rouge Bandit. I missed most the pillage but I was able to come around in time for one battle.

At one point Hekanar asked if he could change from carp to rigging and I teased him by saying if he wasn't any good we'd flog him. Of course we wouldn't really flog him, Bandits just aren't like that. But it's fun to say. At the next duty report he commented his rigging went up to solid so I checked how well he was doing and again teased him that he had escaped a flogging.

Battle time came about and Lego decided he couldn't fight the battle because he had he plague. That sounded as good an excuse as any so I informed Falbard that Lego had given me the plague.

When the voyage was over Diamond asked if anyone would like to join. I told her I'd love to. She then ordered everyone to send Lego a tell. I'm not sure what that was about, but I did so, and Hekanar did so as well. Maybe it was a test to see if us officers could follow commands? Passed.

I lingered on deck as I often do and found Ms. Big was also lingering on deck. We got into a conversation about our corsets and the things that fill them and suddenly Lego was there in our chat circle as well. All that time spent with Lego and myself however gave Ms. Big the plague. Soon it will spread to our entire crew.

Whiteish called attention to herself and it is fast becoming one of my favorite pastimes to pick on her. I'm not sure why, probably because she's a good sport. I asked her if I could call her Gray, because she's not White, but just a little Whiteish.

Whiteish started talking about how she randomly throws a poe at people and that reminded me of the days when Ramina used to have her love showers. I was thus inspired to have one myself. Though I forgot to do my hearties. Rami always did her hearties and the OM on duty as well. Oh well, it was my first Love Shower. ♥

Slanderous Pirates - Ara

2010-05-26T11:41:00.001-05:00

My crewmate Cyanos told me that the Bootleg Bandits were going around telling everyone they beat Vargas The Mad. Cyanos even said he got a yoyo or something. Well that's just silly. If Vargas gave them anything it was just more of the type of junk he lets people come to his isles and haul off, because it's just trash. He only let them think they won. He's crafty that way.

Hmph. My father doesn't lose, he just saves his energy for more important battles.

Better Captain - Ara

2010-05-25T12:57:00.001-05:00

I tried to greet my husband over flag officer chat, but he seemed to ignore me. Tikao informed me he didn't have a badge. I told her to order him to buy one. She is queen after all and should be able to give orders to he captains of her flag. She either did not, or failed at doing so.

Cyanos also did not have an officer badge so I ordered him to get one. He obeyed my order, thus proving I am more fit to be captain. I tried to prove I was also more fit to be queen by ordering Flood to get a badge, but he didn't listen to me either.

Return of Talise

2010-05-24T12:58:00.002-05:00

I was feeling a little cheekier than normal so I do hope I did not offended anyone, but I went out on a medium sized ship with a crew called Bootleg Bandits. The crew was very delightful and I could not help but have such a good time with them that my guard is dropped and my tongue wags with jest a bit more than usual for me.

I got into a friendly debate with a man who fancies himself a gentleman. The debate was of course a pirate versus gentleman. It's hard to argue with a gentleman. They let you win and are polite about it.

It was a good pillage. Though at the end Falbard did his part and loaded the other ship full of holes, but his jobbers wouldn't team and so we lost the battle. He is still so kind that he put some of his own coin back into the booty before he gave us our shares.

Tik Wants Alt's Booty - Ara

2010-05-24T12:52:00.002-05:00

I had heard a rumor that Flood was jobbing with my crew and had to come see. But what I'd found was Altofmain had gotten so filled with rum he fell off the ship during a voyage. Flood was all in a panic and I had to go comfort him. Luckily for all on board my Queen Captain, Tikao showed up in time to sail the ship stately to port. Because if I had to do it, we never would have gotten there.

She even entered a battle, maxed the other ship with damage, and then we won. Of course I know she was doing it so the two of us could get a cut of the booty on board. We didn't have a claim to it otherwise.

Cursed Toadstools - Rami

2010-05-23T12:41:00.003-05:00

Pirate Log: sea date 23.5.10

It has been awhile since I took a voyage into the Cursed Isles where Vargas The Mad resides. His daughter, Arachne was the one responsible for my death but since my return no further attempt has been made on my life. Attacking her father's lands might not keep things going in my favor, but as with any pirate, the booty is worth the risk.

The voyage was lead by Captain Trilan of Absit Invidia, lady of the flag, Moonshine.

Khoney received a nice little headdress with the indigo color, but all I got was a toadstool.

Best Station - Ara

2010-05-22T12:09:00.001-05:00

I started off the evening by joining the Bootleg Bandits on a pillage. One might think I should join that crew as much as I job with them, but they have this crew member I really can't stand, Kehle. She just rubs me the wrong way. Thankfully she's never around when I am.

Anyway, back to my story. I hopped on sails when I got on because I felt like a little change from carp. That didn't last the entire voyage, as I get tired of sails a lot sooner. I noticed though when someone asked where he should go, Falbard told him to go to his best station. I was not on my best station, and asked if I would get a spanking, but they didn't want to reward me for that.

Unfortunately, sails was his best station and it didn't take him long to start doing better than me on every duty report. I requested he be planked, but my request was met only with laughter.

I noticed in the crew chat of Bootleg Bandits, Ms. Big was greeting several of her mates so I enthusiastically requested to be among those greeted. Whiteish promptly greeted me back, so props to her on her speed of doing as I ask. Though I get the feeling she just wanted to shut me up and found me annoying. I get a lot of things that way.

After my trip with the Bandits was over I decided to try and job on Captain Flood's sloop. A little bird had brought to me a note that he was going, but I was in another voyage and didn't take the offer right away. So when I was done on my other voyage I demanded my husband let me on his boat. He played hard to get.

He of course gave in and let me come. And we got lost during battle.

The enemy was so afraid of us that they ran rather than telling us how to find our way again. I was very disappointed about the lack of violence.

We stopped to dig up some treasure on some island. Funny how many brigands bury their treasure, we real pirates just spend it all and then go out for some more.

On our way back to port, Flood let Tikao take the helm a bit. That was a mistake. She doesn't know how to drive.

I ended the night with some friendly advice from Flood.

Cookies For Everyone! - Kehle

2010-05-20T11:02:00.001-05:00

Bootleg Bandits decided to pillage on a war brig. At least I think it was a war brig. It was big, black, and had gilded cannons. I don't really know my ship types. That part isn't important to me. I just do my duty.

All the jobbers were doing decent. There were a few that liked to booch or laze and one guy went to sleep during a battle and then got mad when his share was cut at the end. But for the most part the jobbers were behaving, so I declared they'd all get cookies. Diamond cheered at this, until I reminded her she wasn't there as a jobber. Her sobs ripped at my heart though -and were really annoying- so I declared she could have one too. Ms. Big felt left out, so I let her pass out the cookies to the jobbers.

We only lost one battle. I did my best to try and take them all out, but there were just so many of them. Of course it'd help if the jobbers knew how to team. They got no cookies after that one.

Despite the one battle lost, it was still a good pillage and we won all the other battles. Battles aren't the only thing that make a good pillage though. Good mates are more important to me than winning and I have a good bunch of mates in Bootleg Bandits.

Getting Booty - Ara

2010-05-18T11:47:00.001-05:00

I stalked Tikao and tried to stab her, but she gave me some lame line about having a headache. Has our relationship really gotten to that point? I was sad until she mentioned Flood was in need of someone to rig his mast so I sent a little bird his way and demanded he allow me onto his vessel, and I asked to board his ship too. He played hard to get as usual, but eventually let me in. They always cave at some point -or go into permanent hiding.

I'd been sailing on Flood's ship for awhile when Tikao suddenly calls out to us and demands Flood stop leading his pillage to enter a tournament for her where the prize was a familiar. I couldn't believe she was demanding my husband leave me for her, even after that lame headache excuse she gave.

A couple of battles later Tik was again yelling out to us on those strange magical winds that allow her on shore to talk to us at sea. This time she wanted us to stop and go on a different pillage with some guy called Altofmain. Not only was his mother drunk when she named him, but why would I leave Flood for a perfect stranger? Does it matter that he's a higher ranking officer in my crew than me? No, I'm a pirate, I don't care if I'm insubordinate.

I was much too busy with Flood anyway, by that time he'd asked me to stop rigging his mast and start hammering his wood. (Switched from sails to carp) Of course I got to be on top, which is how I like it.

Carp wasn't the only thing I got to be on top of. For the first time ever, and probably the last time too, I was top forager. Anyone who knows me knows I tend to sleep through foraging or at least just get fine. I think I might be getting the hang of it now. Took me long enough.

After Flood docked I decided to go on that larger pillage with Altofmain. When I got there I found Cyanos, a crew mate of mine who'd also been out with Flood. I of course sought him out and then accused him of stalking me.

I have a reputation of stalking everyone, but I like to focus on one pirate at a time. I think Rami went around telling everyone I was a free stalker, but that's just her.

Atlantis Invasion - Ramina

2010-05-17T12:31:00.004-05:00

Pirate Log: Sea date 17.5.10

The crew Bootleg Bandits decided to invade a risen port of Atlantis. Past experience has shown that Atlantis is not to be trusted. Dragoons once kidnapped someone very dear to me, so I took up my sword and joined the invasion party.

I was greeting warmly by the crew despite last nights missing gold incident that I still claim I had nothing to do with. It's amazing how much a pirate will forgive you after enough rum.

While on board the vessel I was confused for the captain of the Bandits, Diamond. Being as how she's pretty and shiny, I did not take offense.

During a lull in the invasion I decided to look over at Lego, which started a small trend of others looking at Lego, including Lego himself. Some pirates are too vain for their own good.

I was threatened by the dragoons. Perhaps they remember me from my glory days when I'd help lead invasions into their ports. I did not tolerate the threats and stabbed the dragoon in question, as well as all his friends, kin, and comrades I could find. The Bandits were kind enough to let me into every single fray there was. They know I have a history with these creatures and take great pleasure in ridding the ocean of their filth. Filling our purses with their gold is nice too.

There was a nice long lull in the invasion when Falbard decided he'd circle the port until Diamond confessed she was gorgeous. This took some time and most the crew were chanting or yelling at her to give in. I guess she doesn't like to rub her beauty in the faces of others as it might make them feel a little less shiny next to the Diamond.

As the voyage rolled on and the invasion continued the crew drank more and more rum. Before long, the Bandits were saying strange things that barely made any sense, or made none at all.

After the invasion was over and the crew on board was down to myself, Tikao, and a couple of officers of the Bandits I asked Tikao if she wished to find the gold again this night as she had the night before. I'm still denying we did that by the way. Tikao felt her pockets were full enough for now and instead disembarked to go to bed leaving Diamond and I to admire Falbard's large feet.

Dead Girl Pillaging - Rami

2010-05-16T13:06:00.000-05:00

A little birdy went to Arachne with a message from Ms. Bigredone that said the Bootleg Bandtis were about to pillage. Arachne didn't feel like going on a pillage so she sent me -Ramina- instead. Being the necromancer that killed me she has this strange affect over me sometimes.

It was a nice pillage, and a normal one with the Bandits with Fal saying strange things and Khoney telling everyone how much she loved us. I couldn't help but return the gesture. In both strangely said things and hearts sent to Khoney. The Bandits are always a joy to go out with, if you haven't done it, you should.

I started to get a little bored during the pillage, so I asked Fal to sing me a song. He sang a nice little pirate ditty about shooting up the enemy. Thanks, Fal.

After the pillage, I found Tikao. It wasn't hard, I'd been sailing on the poop deck and she's been loading guns there. I of course found her staring at the large pile of gold spilling out on deck. I stood with her and stared a bit myself.

Then she decided we needed to fill our purses, and our skirts, and our corsets. Not that the corset can hold much more, but ever little coin helps.

We got found out. Maybe it was because Khoney, Falbard, and Scxy were still on board the boat. Or maybe it was all the extra jingling and weight apparent weight gain when we tried to disembark. I think the little trail of gold spilling out after Tikao told me to run and I did so only helped to make me look guilty. You should never trust a pirate.

I sent my room mate, Kehle, to Ms. Big to distract her from the chase. I told her to go talk about something piratey like masts, but I think they talked more about masks. That Kehle is a strange one, she fits right in with those Bandits.

Mutiny! . . . Again - Ara

2010-05-14T21:59:00.002-05:00

Having been scarce on the seas for a bit, was getting afraid me captain would be turning soft. Did the best thing I could, I did. I called for a mutiny.

I first submitted a proposal to make meself captain. Funny how she never votes to do that.

Then I stalked me Queen Captain and challenged her to a duel. She's still captain.

Me husband stopped by, though I not being sure if were to help me or her seeing as how he tried to stab me. I of course accused him of letting me win and kicked him in the shin. Though he did offer some sage advice toward the mutiny.

I got dragged off to some outpost or something. I never really know what's going on, they just hand me some rum and tell me to play with wood and that I'll get to stab something. I like stabbing things as much as Tikao likes running into the rocks. By the way, they're not soft.

Today something phenomenal happened. Captainflood spoke my name with importance (capitalized it) when he greeted me. I’ve gotten onto him many times in the past but I guess I’ve always been just another greenie in his eyes until now.

Falbard became governor of Windward Vale and promises lots of corruption, as any fitting pirate governor should.

Boiled Corn

2009-04-08T12:58:00.000-05:00

Arachne of Viridian:

I told everyone in flag officer chat that I was off my meds and couldn’t pillage with them. Bayne got a little concerned, so I had to explain to him that I’m not really crazy, I only act crazy. Most the rest of the flag knows by now not to take ninety percent of what I say seriously. Tik walked in on that conversation and ruined my reputation further by saying I’m just misunderstood. Thanks a lot, Tik.

Then Tik told us all to get on a sloop for a pillage. As soon as I stepped on deck a little pigeon carried a message over to me from Falbard that wanted to know if I could XO for him. I had to decline since I was already loading for a pillage. I may be a pirate, but I try not to go back on my word once it’s given. Though to protect my reputation, I tell everyone I’m first come first serve, sounds less honorable.

Icey was there with us all when Corn fell asleep on deck. We all tried to wake up him, except for Icey who felt sorry for him. She must not know him very well. When he woke up I told him Icey had been doing it all and we tried to stop her.

While underway Tik booched naving. We all saw it, and just in case anyone missed it, I’m telling you about it now.

Captainflood and Falbard both ended up joining us before the voyage was over, but Flood admits he wasn’t paying any attention to what he was doing. At one point I told Fal I was tired of the voyage and ready to XO for him, but he said that ship didn’t sail already.

Despite all the craziness Icey stayed with us the whole time. What a weirdo.

2009-04-07T16:30:00.000-05:00

New things happening on the ocean.

I went on a pillage with the Bootleg Bandits. Falbard wanted to know if I wanted to go swimming, but I had to decline. I was busy sailing at the time. Someone should try to talk to him about distracting the jobbers with offers of fun activities. I’d never distract anyone.

Rohanl saw me go down in a sword fight, but I don’t like admitting I ever go down, so I keep swinging my sword from where I lay on the deck, which is normally in a pool of my blood. He seemed to like that, never really thought of it as a fighting spirit before, but it is true that I never give up. Even if I’m against 20 I keep fighting like I think I can win.

Along the way Diamond pointed out that we were lost and in need of a map. She should have known that Rohanl wouldn’t pull over and ask for directions. Men never ask.

Every time we grappled a ship I suggested he ask them where we are or how to get where we are going. He ended up trying to blame me, but I’m not the one that got us lost. He was driving.

Then he wanted us to let hell loose. If I did that I’d have to rekill everyone I’ve put there. And though that might be fun, it’d set me back a little. There’s still plenty of other people to gut.

After porting I decided it was time for a Love Shower, so I gave one. Funny how that works. Though there have been times I felt like a Love Shower and was unable to give one, like when I’m on duty in the middle of a voyage. However I missed Rhoaleper’s request in regards to Castor and he was the last to receive coin. I start with the flag, then do my hearties, then I get the OM on duty.

Sinking

2009-04-06T15:28:00.000-05:00

Kehle of Viridian:

My crew, Bootleg Bandits, were loading up a ship to take into a flotilla. Everyone was happy to see me.

I ran around hugging everyone I knew for no other reason than I felt like it.

While I was waiting for the ship to load up, I decided to finish writing in my log. A little greenie shouted and was told not to, so I politely suggested a flogging may be in order. Apparently Falbard is too nice to flog people however. I’d do it for him if he’d want me to.

The same little greenie ran into trouble again when he wagered in a challenge against another pirate who did not wager back. He insisted she spammed him, but apparently she’d made no agreement to put in a wager and therefore did not do anything wrong. The greenie reported her anyway.

We sank.

So then Fal calls us on a little sloop and we went back in to treasure haul a ship we’d sank previous. We sank in the sloop too. But I did get a new trophy, so that’s good for me anyway. And we had fun trying.

Later in the evening Bleachfloody was loading up for the flotilla again with Bootleg Bandits. They asked us to ask our hearties but my only hearty is Tikao and even though I knew she was already there I said she wouldn’t come. Yvonnie didn’t realize I was just being funny however. Everyone else knows me well enough to not take me seriously.

The little greenie that had tried to heart Arachne the night before was on the ship and she didn’t talk like a greenie so I accused her of being an alt, but she wouldn’t tell me of who. But then she booched so often, was so annoying, and yelled to be planked when she was done that I decided she might really be a greenie after all and I was glad I didn’t hearty her.

We sank again.

Arachne of Viridian:

I followed Tikao into one of her stalls, but she was really quiet. We sat around talking about what cowards men are. Oh sure they try to pretend to be strong, but they’d rather run or make excuses than be honest most the time.

Lassie dunked in and then out again before I could greet her. I didn’t think I looked that bad though.

Confused Corn

2009-04-05T14:40:00.000-05:00

I went to Tikao’s stall to see if she was working and maybe do a little work myself, even though I can’t make rum. I’m so bad at distilling, that all I can make is grog flavored water. A greenie came in while we were there and the greenie seemed nice enough, greeted us and everything, but when she sent the hearty request I denied it. I liked to be asked first to ensure I’m not just adding a name to my list but an actual hearty. I’m not into name collecting.

Something that is fun to do is carry on several conversations at once. It’s guaranteed to confuse at least one of your mates.

Greedy Pirate [Kayos]

2009-04-04T17:51:00.000-05:00

I went to the distillery to make some rum, because I was running low at home and like to sneak off with a barrel or two when no one is looking. I demanded a raise when I saw Tikao was there, but did not get one.

She asked me if I were going to go to the auction tomorrow, but I wasn’t sure what she was speaking about. Of course I’d heard some talk about a mystery box auction, but wasn’t keeping up on it in that great of detail. I do all my flag donations by donating for Arachne’s parties.

We moved over to the iron monger stall, but I’m not sure why. I could have stayed at the distillery a lot longer. Tik said something about the equipment not working properly at the moment, but I don’t know what she’s talking about, it seemed fine to me.

Yvonnie decided to pick a fight with Bayne and make fun of his tastes of entertainment so Tikao and myself jumped on her a little. Bayne had to call us back off our little greenie mate. We teach our cabin people through tough love techniques.

Tikao then said she was going to have fun with the male crewmates who were on at the moment, but Yvonnie wanted in on that fun. Tikao had to remind the little cabin person that the captain doesn’t have to share. Greedy pirate.

We loaded a ship for a pillage and during that time we decided to give Bayne some advice on how to get a house in the country without much money. After the advice giving, we all got back off the ship again and I decided it was time to turn in for the night.

Return of Tracy

2009-04-03T18:10:00.000-05:00

Alcaran of Viridian

Tracy showed up today. She’s been gone a long time. But she couldn’t fool me, I knew ninjas had captured her and withheld the rum until she broke. Ninjas can be cruel like that. Now Tracylyn is a ninja spy.

Kayos of Viridian

I went to do some alchemy work but I kept trying to hard and doing expert labor when there was only basic labor to fill. So I left the stall to go find Tikao.

I found her at her house and found her door was open so I walked in without knocking just to show her how easy that’d be for a real stalker. She was lucky it was only me.

It was late at night, but she invited me on a war brig pillage. Unfortunately I was too tired. She ran off to go join it and left me in her house. I swear I left everything how I found it. I didn’t go through anyone’s drawers or take any of the silver from the kitchen. If all the rum was gone when they got back that must have been someone else that walked through the open door. They should learn to start locking it. Or put the dogs in the front room, they don’t seem to guard much out in the yard.

I'm Not Crazy

2009-04-02T20:02:00.000-05:00

I’m not crazy. I’m just a little insane.

I went on a pillage with my own crew. Rhoaleper was at the helm. A nice little jobber thanked us for having her and I thought that was real sweet, but after the first battle when I went to look for her, she was already gone.

I was nice enough to warn Rhoal when I was going to laze, but for some reason he still didn’t appreciate it. I was just trying to be courteous.

Captain Flood came out to join us on the pillage and he too wished to laze, but they wouldn’t let him laze either.

Captain Flood made up a new song. When I sang my bawdy sea shanty about a pirate losing her corset at sea, he sang a tasteful ballad that was all about me. I knew he really cared!

We ported and I thanked everyone for coming while Rhoal divided the booty. Marle confessed she was sick at that moment so I demanded she be planked before her illness spread. I couldn’t plank her myself, because she’s my hearty.

When I got to the beach, Captain Corn decided to start purring at me. He’s really weird. Kinda creepy too.

Bayne said he broke himself, which inspired a nice little drunken conversation with my rum filled mates complete with a little confusion and a lot of banter.

I was hidding on Windward Vale and offered 1,000 pieces of eight to the mate that found me, but only Corn came looking. I got bored while I waited and did a Love Shower.

Randomness of the day

Fun With Bandits

2009-03-31T17:47:00.002-05:00

Kehle of Viridian:

Skellier of my crew was on a pillage. I checked to see where he was and saw he was alone and I thought it’d been some time since he said he was on a pillage and maybe he was just moving supplies or something. So, I asked him if he was still on a pillage and due to his lack of punctuation I was unsure of his response. He was either running a pillage that crew could join only if they wanted to battle navigate, or he was running a pillage for crew only and wanted to know if I wanted to battle navigate. Since I’m novice able in bnav I didn’t think that was the one he meant.

Arachne of Opal:

I took some of the learning puzzles. I’m not too sure how well I was doing though the only time I understood the duty report was when I did gut. I also took some sword training missions and one rumble training one by accident. It would probably help if I could speak German.

Arachne of Viridian:

I went back to my own ocean and pulled my hair back once more. People would freak out if I didn’t have it back because that’s the only way I’ve ever worn it in Viridian. Once back Bayne decided to start getting personal with me. The actual question is not repeated here, but it wasn’t really all that personal. At least it wasn’t naughty and that’s normally what I think people are going to ask if they want to know if they can get personal.

The Bootleg Bandits decided to start loading a war brig to head out and pillage. I decided to go with them, but I had to play a little coy first because it’s just my way.

I set up my hammock to start my lazing, but Diamond seemed to be under the impression that I was the entertainment. Wasn’t that long ago that Flood was telling me I sing and play the hornpipe too much.

The little greenie I’d met the day before was there. He calls himself a captain, but I don’t think he is.

I had to go down into the hold for something during the voyage and when I returned everyone got excited. By everyone I mean two pirates. I gave them both hearts in return however.

I did incredible in sails. I know a lot of you do incredible all the time, but it was my first time this year so I mark it down as a rare occasion and take note. I used CC’s line, “Nice incred, on wait that’s mine,” but I felt bad for using it, like I had no right to brag and people would think less of me for it. But when he does says it, it’s funny.

Diamond was in a very loving mood and said many times how much she loved the crew. Of course we love her back. We fight over who loves her more. We’re pirates, we like shiny Diamonds.

Elote wanted to make out with me, but Palusia said we couldn’t. I wouldn’t anyway, I’m about to be married to Captain Flood. . . again. But Palusia swooshed down the mast and Falbard told her she couldn’t swoosh, which started a whole ban on activities using words that had a double O.

After we won a fight and got some kraken’s blood people were cheering, but I pointed out they were not allowed to cheer and we couldn’t take the blood, because we couldn’t loot the ship. Fal then took back his ban on double Os.

I found what happened to Lawson. Apprently he ran off to become a brigand. He’s gotten a tan and has grown his beard out more, but I can tell it was him.

When it came time for me to say goodnight to everyone, Fal decided to start stalling me again he like used to. Works every time. You’d think I’d just ignore it, but there’s this little voice that says he might actually want something. Diamond then also joined in on that fun.

Aphrodite Still Rocks [Ara]

2009-03-30T16:08:00.001-05:00

The day started out great with Bayne giving me a blank agreement that I could fill in later as to what he was agreeing to. That was awfully nice of him.

Tikao petitioned Aphrodite to get Vargas an invitation to my wedding, but Aphrodite said she couldn’t do it, that Daddy doesn’t listen to the OMs. It was a nice try though.

I jobbed for Atlantis with the Bootleg Bandits. Falbard was very happy to see me, but he shouldn’t have been. I didn’t do so well in my puzzles and I set a tranny off like a fire across the deck.

On the plus side, I’m now illustrious in sailing. I’m shedding more and more of my alt roots everyday. Alright, I admit it, I claim I’m allergic to alts because I used to be one. Alts are a subclass of people in on the ocean and it’s been a long hard road to get out of that rut.

Mad Maeven said she wasn’t brave enough to come with us at first and she’d since bought a badge but we were already underway. Thinking she might be like me and looking for any excuse for someone to hold her, I commented that she was afraid and needed to be held. She proved a little more feminist than myself however and took slight offense. Or maybe she is more like me and wants to be the one to initiate the holding. I like to stab my men so they can’t run away as fast. I don’t like running.

I wasn’t getting into very many of the frays so I tried to bribe Diamond. That still didn’t work and I only ended up in one fray in the entire trip. Next time I’ll just have to comment before we head out that I want in on every fray. Back when I used to go with Hawkings all the time, Joly always knew to let me into the fray.

In regards to that tranny I set off. I didn’t know at first what I’d said to set her off. It appeared as if she were suddenly attacking me for no reason. It all started when she said she could win a pissing contest against a normal girl and I said normal girls don’t get into pissing contests. Apparently it was alright for her to use the word “normal” but not for me. So she looked for ways to slam me and discredit me. I didn’t let her. I didn’t even know she’d taken anything wrong until she called me a hater, then that’s when I realized she was overreacting to something that was said and apologized. Before that I thought she was just trying to be mean to me for no reason. The worse part of it, is that it had to happen with all my Bandit mates there to have to listen to the little tranny. Whenever you’re attacked like this, it always brings you down too, whether you respond or not. More so if you don’t respond, because people assume whatever is said must be true if you don’t deny it.

[22:44:09] Mischa says, "You must expel 300cc's of urine to pass!"
[22:44:19] Numbercrunch says, "wow thats a lot!"
[22:44:22] Divinewind laughs
[22:44:40] Matthe says, "pass what"
[22:45:07] Ummon says, "Mischa, careful who you get into a peeing contest with ;p"

[22:45:29] Matthe says, "u might put your eye out"
[22:45:50] Arachne says, "any 'normal' girl wouldn't get into a peeing contest."
[22:46:00] Mischa says, "<--- Tranny"
[22:46:04] Arachne says, "I know."
[22:46:10] Godfire says, "what has the world come to when normal is determined by a peeing contest"
[22:46:20] Ummon says, "Bladder is bladder."
[22:46:23] Mischa says, "And, FYI, I have been in a pissing contest with a normal gal"
[22:46:32] Falbard says, "TMI"
[22:46:34] Madmaeven says, "did she beat ya?"
[22:46:34] Mischa says, "So eats it"
[22:46:41] Mischa says, "No, I still have my wang"
[22:46:43] Arachne says, "she wasn't really normal then. . . just a natural woman."
[22:47:04] Bumspanker says, "oh thats something to be proud of"
[22:47:22] Mischa says, "Ara is obviously so uptight she can't pass wind"
[22:48:07] Mischa says, "Long pee is long"
[22:49:26] Godfire says, "woot"
[22:49:28] Godfire says, "top th and carp"
[22:50:06] Happos says, "i hate that you get a booch if you start too close to DR"
[22:50:14] Mischa says, "So, you guys that always tell everyone they topped the DR, did you not get enough hugs from mommy-kins, or too many hugs from Uncle Bad-Touch?"
[22:50:38] Arachne laughs, jealous of others more skilled than you?
[22:50:56] Mischa says, "Ummm I GM more than one duty"
[22:51:03] Mischa says, "Miss holier-than-thou"
[22:51:11] Rhoaleper jumps into the sea to escape
[22:51:22] Arachne says, "not being disgusted is not the same thing as being prude, English not your first language?"
[22:51:40] Mischa says, "I'm a published author actually..."
[22:51:59] Arachne says, "you’re the first tranny I've ever met that wasn't any fun."
[22:52:06] Divinewind says, "....."
[22:52:07] Mischa says, "I can guess why"
[22:53:07] Arachne says, "this tranny sure has it out for me. . ."
[22:53:26] Bayne says, "in what way Ara"
[22:53:56] Arachne says, "I don't know. I didn't do anything to her. I normally like trannies, they tend to be fun to be around, but this one is all claws and no fun."
[22:54:14] Mischa says, "So many crabs *Eyes Ara*"
[22:54:20] Bayne says, "maybe she’s jealous"
[22:54:41] Arachne says, "that's a contradiction, you keep claiming I'm uptight, can't be that and have an STD. . wouldn't be having sex."
[22:54:52] Mischa says, "It's actually "STI" now"
[22:55:10] Mischa says, "And guys like tight girls, no? *grin* don't come much tighter than you"
[22:55:30] Mischa says, "What were you saying about English? heh"
[22:55:36] Arachne says, "Are you flirting with me now?"
[22:55:46] Mischa says, "Sorry, I don't do kids"
[22:55:54] Falbard says, "Mischa, I grow weary. Give it a rest."
[22:56:09] Hahonine says, "as far as I can tell, this incessant bickering hurts the boat, and proves you both to be children"
[22:56:11] Mischa says, "Me? ha, she's the transphobe"
[22:56:31] Arachne says, "how can that be if I've already told you I like trannies, cause they tend to be fun? Another contridiction."
[22:56:34] Falbard says, "We're all delighted in your alternative sexuality...we'd like to focus on the game now."
[22:56:45] Divinewind laughs
[22:56:48] Mischa says, "Ok, I'll ignore the ignorant then"
[22:57:01] Falbard says, "A good practice in any case."
[22:57:09] Ye told Falbard, "sorry I stirred her up, not sure what I did to do that, she was just suddenly attacking me. . must have taken something I said wrong."
[22:57:25] Falbard tells ye, "Don't worry about it. It gave me a chance to shut him/her up."
[22:57:29] Mischa says, "I apologize as well, just some haters, I can't stand"
[22:57:47] Falbard tells ye, "Should have heard him/her Friday...yeeesh"
[22:58:59] Ye told Mischa, "if you took something I said wrong to make you believe that I'm sorry you feel that way. Might help to be less defensive and then you might have seen I didn't say anything hateful."
[22:58:59] Mischa is bilging and might be too busy to respond.
[22:59:50] Mischa tells ye, "Trannies don't like to be called anything different than normal women, you might think it's a compliment to say were "fun" but we don't want to be seen as any different to biowomen"
[23:01:06] Ye told Mischa, "actually when I said that I was referring to the girl you said was normal. That and I always get into those boys are disgusting banter with people. Never had anyone get offended by it before."
[23:01:06] Mischa is hauling treasure and might be too busy to respond.
[23:02:30] Mischa tells ye, "I apologize for jumping at your throat... if you get to know me, you'll know why they say I'm a +26 to morale"
[23:03:48] Ye told Mischa, "I apologize for saying something you could take wrong. I see how that might have come off like that, since it's just text and you can't hear my tone. We'll just put it behind us now."

My morale was completely shot by haters and lack of frays. Mean people suck, nice people rock! I had a little greenie trying to request to be my hearty and I denied him, three times. I then put myself on do not disturb and he sent me a tell, in which I realized it wasn’t a greenie. It was CC. Then to be cute, he rejected my hearty request.

I was tired but I thought I could handle a little action in the flotilla, since I never go, and Flood had asked me personally to go and he never does that. But I proved to be more tired than I thought and I didn’t make it past the jobbing phase.

Curses [Ara]

2009-03-29T13:49:00.001-05:00

My mates were in the Cursed Isles and Tikao claimed Ramina made her booch somehow, but I don’t know how since Ramina and I were back on dry land.

Then I went to the Cursed Isles with my crew. Captain Corn was driving so the voyage got a little Corny, but that’s to be expected. Only he wouldn’t stay to say hi to Dad so I got upset. He gave me some drift wood to try and make amends later. He also gave me a new falchion to give away at the party after my wedding.

Then I jobbed with the Bootleg Bandits for another trip to the Cursed Isles. I ended up with a pair of lavender tights with lime patches. They call them pants, but they’re a bit too tight to be pants, so I call them what they are. I think the lavender tights looked rather good with my black and purple corset and my fancy black and purple boots, but the lime patches were a bit too much.

Falbard says, "There's no one behind you"
Arachne says, "There's no one behind you either"
Falbard says, "There's still no one behind you."
Falbard says, "And even though it might look like it, I'm not mad at you."
Arachne says, "Good, ‘cause it wasn't my fault. . . entirely."

Tikao commented that she wanted new boots, but Diamond reminded her she only had one foot to put a boot on. Tik can’t do a sexy walk like me in my tights, she has to hobble around wherever she goes.

Bayne was having difficulties. The little greenie that was crushing on Captain Corn had turned her attention toward Bayne instead. Apparently Phae had come around and told the greenie to back off her man. If I wasn’t about to be married I’d help Bayne out by claiming he was mine and making the greenie leave him alone.

Pirate Impersonator

2009-03-28T12:48:00.000-05:00

The Bootleg Bandits were out on a voyage and I wanted to join them, only problem was they were already in battle. I waited, and waited, and waited until they finally came to get me. I don’t wait well.

The voyage was mostly over by the time I got there and I only got to help out in a couple of battles. I demanded to stay out longer, but Ribka had the funny impression she was running the pillage and I couldn’t tell her what to do.

So I hung around on deck a little after the pillage, as I often do.

Everyone started loading to go into a flotilla and I was tired so I headed home. While on the docks of Windward Vale a little alt came up to speak to me. I’m allergic to alts, but I stopped to speak back. He asked to join our crew and was having a hard time taking no for an answer. He keep telling me he was a big shot over on Sage. I jobbed him into our crew so the others could see what he was saying too, but even by the time I’d jobbed him I knew he didn’t stand a chance of getting in, and not only because we don’t job strange little alts off the docks.

He claimed he was a pirate on Sage called Narokisses, which I said was a bad name. The question that came to my head was wanting to know who Naro was and what he kissed. Tikao and myself both had informants over on Sage (alts logged in) that we were conferring with to check this little alt’s story. She told him he didn’t exist, so he told her she was wrong. I asked if he spelled his name wrong so he said he’d go check. He came back after a little while and suddenly changed his story. He wasn’t Narokisses from Rulers of Sage, he claimed he now was Narkissos from Spirit Wolves. Most pirates remember their own names, especially when they have decent stats like Narkissos. So I asked the little alt to go log into Narkissos to prove it was him and he ran.

So then my little informant over on Sage, who was Moonshade, decided to warn the captain of Spirit Wolves that she had someone trying to impersonate Narkissos. A very protective girlfriend got into a conversation with Moonshade as well, as first thinking it was Moonshade who was up to no good.

By the time I thought to report the guy the conversation involving him had scrolled away from the little chat log segment that the OM would have seen. All the OM would have seen was Bayne cussing, so I didn’t report Squirly for his impersonation of another pirate, which is in fact against the ToS of Puzzle Pirates. Yes, I’m a nerd and read them.

Lavendar Paint [Ara]

2009-03-27T17:20:00.000-05:00

I went to the apothecary stall, because Tikao had said there was work to be done there. I delivered my paint brush I’d ordered there and immediately got to painting. Then I realized the trim was painted and didn’t even look at the wall before I started painting so I had no idea at the time I’d painted over Tik’s magenta walls. I guess she had taken me seriously when I told her she needed to decorate in there. Seavagrant was there, and he didn’t warn me before I painted, he just kept mixing his potions like nothing was going on. That’s a well trained pirate.

I was doing something when the Bandits put out the call for a trip to Atlantis, but I played it coy and pretended I hadn’t been busy, I was just stalling.

I can’t really remember the details of the trip itself. I was probably too busy being focused on my puzzle. I was a little out of it and didn’t goof off as much as I normally do, which makes for a duller log after the fact. I do remember that we ported and did not sink but I think all I got was money from the trip.

Something I took note of this day was a guy on the sword fighting tables that wished me luck before the fight. I always notice when people do that. I needed it too, he won.

Twenty Legs, Twenty Hands, Paint Four [Ara]

2009-03-26T14:27:00.002-05:00

I had to buy a new Senior Officer badge and lamented about how I had intended to spend those doubloons on delivering prizes for the party instead, so Zippy asks how much I tend to spend on a party. I told him it differs on the party and my coffers but I’ve been known to spend as much as 80,000 or as little as 20,000. I really try to aim more around 40,000 including prizes and poe offered at the tournaments. Zippy felt generous and so he donated 50,000 toward the next party which I immediately used to bid on doubs. Now I just need to go pick out some prizes and deliver them. Thanks, Zippy.

CC was still have greenie stalker problems. She left him alone for just a little bit when I told her he was too busy giving me pleasure, which wasn’t true, but I had to have my mate’s back. I teased him and told him I was going to send her a tell to encourage her, but I didn’t really.

Tikao told me she opened a new apothecary stall on Jubilee. She thinks by putting her stall on the same island as my counting house and then making me manager of the stall that I’ll actually do work or something. Well ha! She’s right.

I went and bought a badge. I had to put more bids out for one since I didn’t want to use Zippy’s donation for my own personal gain. I broke three bottles and was a little nervous since I hadn’t mixed potions in so long, but Vargas’ little girl still has it.

I think the stress of moving the stall was getting to Tikao. She sounded as mad as my father.

Bayne and I got into a little conversation about childrearing. At first I thought he was trying to sell his, but then I found out he was just going to feed it to the dog. I think he’d make more of a profit if he sold the child.

So then he decided to come on our serious pillage onboard the Silly Tigerfish.

I’ve carped a lot, more than I’ve done any other puzzle, but when a mate onboard asked to trade my carp for a bilge, I had to decline. I’m not allowed to bilge anymore, not since that time I filled the ship with water.

Buttered Corn [Ara]

I went out with the Bootleg Bandits again. That’s right, went out with all of them at once. I’m a pirate, so it’s okay.

Captain Corn was there this time too. He likes to help keep me on my toes in carp by trying to outdo me. He also likes to help me with the munity, but I think we’d only fight over the captain’s hat if our mutiny ever worked, and then Chavez would come in and take it when we weren’t looking. . . just like the governship of Vale.

CC kept trying to do better than me in carp so I had to curse him. I had no other choice. One day soon he’ll step in gum and it’ll stick to the bottom of his foot because he’s not wearing shoes. That’ll teach him to outdo me!

So we ported in order to split up the booty and sell the kraken’s blood we’d found. I saw Corn and Tikao were standing right next to each other so thinking they were in a meeting, I went to join them. Diamond told us we weren’t allowed to leave the ship, but someone said we ran out of rum, so off I went.

Ms Solange was onboard and she decided to touch me, which seemed to spark a touching Ara fest. But not to worry I touched her back too. That’s what hearties are for.

Falbard thanked us for the pillage, but I thought that was rather odd since it was the Bandits that hosted the pillage. I think he’d had too much rum.

Back on the island I found two of the sexiest boys on the ocean, they’re no Flood, but they’re in my crew so that makes them pretty darn sexy. Emphasis on the word pretty in CC’s case.

I decided to go around checking the news in the various places around the island to see what mischief Chavez had been up to. Corn decided to stalk me. He was having greenie stalker issues. Yvonnie wanted to butter his corn, so he was on the run. I guess he figured to fight a stalker with a stalker so he was going to stick close to a better stalker than the one after him.

Right outside my house, which is really Tikao’s house, I stopped to admire my pumpkin garden and see how well they’re doing. They seem ripe in all seasons and never rot. Must be the special growth juice I got from Dad to use on them. But anyway, we noticed while we were there that the news of the houses didn’t seem to be tagged by Chavez.

Then it was time to go off to sleep and dream of a honey covered Captain Flood.

Reengage Flood [Ara]

2009-03-24T14:36:00.000-05:00

I didn’t do much today other than stalk Tikao. She asked me if I wanted to help Flood reengage, but I haven’t even married him yet for the second time. We’re currently engaged and until we marry and divorce again I can’t reengage him again. I’ve already reengaged him.

Stolen Stations and Flood Kisses [Ara]

2009-03-23T14:31:00.000-05:00

Tikao decided to start bossing me around like she is my queen captain or something. I did as I was told anyway and went on a pillage with Bootleg Bandits.

After a sword fight, I turned back around to my carp station and found someone had taken it from me when there was another not far from that which was unmanned. I of course was annoyed and put gum in his hair. But then to make things worse he booched the station he stole.

Flood and I made out a lot. He’s madly in love with me, he just likes to play hard to get. Though he was too dedicated to his duty to go up into the love tower with me, but that’s alright. Lazing would just have gotten us planked anyway.

Fencer [Moonshade]

2009-03-20T15:23:00.000-05:00

I decided I wanted the fencer trophey, so I stabbed the trainers at the palace until they gave it to me. Nothing I want can be kept from me.

Wedding Guests Turned Away [Ara]

2009-03-19T16:29:00.001-05:00

Tikao was supervising her distillery workers when I found her. She knew what I wanted so she sent the worker away so she wouldn’t see her boss get stabbed.

I like to stab Tikao at least once a day, but things don’t always go as planned. Of course I’d never mention losing to her and will deny it if anyone asks me. I always beat Tikao. Always! Don’t believe her if she tells you otherwise. She’s a pirate and you can’t trust her.

After the stabbing I decided to do a little Love Shower. There was some confusion over the Love Shower, I guess it’s been awhile since I’ve done one last. I should do them more often. During the Love Shower, all flag mates, hearties, and OMs on duty get a piece of eight thrown at them. Some mates like to make it hard on me by coming up with names that aren’t always easy to type in unless you count letters, not to mention any names though, Chandalalala. During the Love Shower, Ms. Precious decided it looked like fun and did her own little Love Shower. She was a little more generous than I was.

I heard that Yukki is missing her octopus. If anyone sees a tan octopus named Jellysquishy, please let her know. Thanks ♥

Tikao and I went over to Chavez’s iron monger stall to see what he was up to, but we found him taking a nap. Running a stall must tire him out.

Chavezxtwo became governor of Windward Vale and a conversation was started about things Captain Corn couldn’t figure out when he was governor last week. During the very same conversation, a pirate in our crew, Yvonnie, tried to speak to the boys, but they were still talking to each other and she thought Captain Corn was replying to her and thus being mean. I thought it was funny. She came back later so I guess everything is okay.

I heard Jolyma calling me from outside so I went to go tell her Ahoy. She doesn’t seem the slightly bit mad at me for killing Ramina, which is good. Maybe she’s not mad anymore because Ramina came back from the dead? Which reminds me of a quote from Mad Jack Wolfe, “Being dead doesn’t make you less of a pirate, just less productive.” But that’s besides the point, this is about me, not Rami.

I lamented about the chasing off of my wedding guests. Thanks a lot mates for sending my Dad away. When you get married I’m gonna make sure your father and other guests don’t make it to the island in question! Hmph.

Then I had to leave because my crew was done looking for things to do as governor and decided it was time to pillage. Joly had asked me what they were doing there on the beach where we were and I had told her they were distracted by power.

The brigands seemed a little tougher than normal to me. I wondered if they have a special rum and where I can get some. During one of the tough battles where I was already out of the fray I decided to distract the brigands by flashing them and then bouncing. It worked, but I forgot to try it again on future battles.

I wanted to report Kitty for being vulgar, but I’m not sure the OMs would have done anything about her.

Attacking The Wedding Guests [Ara]

2009-03-18T15:02:00.000-05:00

I decided to go stab strangers. Stabbing strangers is fun and sometimes rewarding. Sometimes it’s not rewarding though and they win. But you can’t win them all. While I was stabbing some strangers Jacenz announced he wanted to go attack my father’s flotilla. I tried to tell him those are my wedding guests and they aren’t threatening our island, just trying to get to it for the wedding.

On a side note, I love friendly people. I love gracious people and good sports. I like the people who wish me luck before a match or say kind words. On this day Shopaholic stood out among the strangers I was stabbing as a good person.

I sheathed my sword and went to get on the ship the Bandits were loading to attack my father’s flotilla with. I wasn’t going to sink my father of course, but to deliver his invitation to the wedding.

I found Bayne on my favorite carp station. Well it’s my favorite on this type of ship only if I know the naver. I like to be close to my friends. Bayne is afraid of me, so he moved over to the other carp nearby. Thanks, Bayne. ♥

Earlier in the day I had a little trouble with Flood not saying my name with the respect I feel he should. Then I heard him talk to Colli the way I wish to be spoken to. I had to say something. It’s best to start training the husband before the wedding otherwise we’ll just end up divorced again.

Some poor jobber tried to bad mouth Falbard on the vessel and several of Fally’s mates jumped on the little guy.

While we waited there was more stabbing, some singing, some dancing, and a conversation over what exactly a bit is. I’d read somewhere once that a bit was the same as a piece of eight, a bit is a coin cut into eight pieces. The topic may be more complicated than that, but we’re pirates. . we don’t really care how our money came about as long as we can loot and plunder more of it.

I asked Flood what we should name our children, and he actually participated in that conversation, proving he acknowledges children are a possibility in our future. I’m not sure I want to give birth though, I think I might just steal some.

My Queen Captain came onboard the vessel that was set to go attack my father and I told her to tell them to stop. But instead she encouraged the attack on my wedding guests, saying there were too many of them. I guess she found out I told them all they could stay at our house during their visit and perform their cultist rituals in the back yard.

Funny little shot of the day

Wrong Kind of Meeting [Comic]

2009-03-18T08:31:00.000-05:00

Here's a little something I made because I thought the Meeting Minutes board on our flag forums was a little bare. I figured I might as well share it with the whole ocean.

Flood Hits Women

2009-03-17T12:54:00.002-05:00

I caught Flood trying to beat up on a lady. I can’t remember which of them won, I think he did. I told him it wasn’t nice to hit ladies and he started making excuses like he always does, so I challenged him to rumble. I showed him what the daughter of Vargas could do with her father’s preferred method of fighting. He admitted he needed to work on his skills but seems to have misunderstood the lesson and thinks he needs to beat up on more people. I saw no reason to correct that thinking.

Later in the evening Flood finally admitted for the first time that we are once again engaged. He then tried to deny admitting it. He sure loves using excuses. Good thing I don’t stop to listen to them.

Rhoaleper's Joke

2009-03-16T15:31:00.001-05:00

I did pretty much nothing again all day. I just stayed in my house, well in Tikao’s house.

Rhoaleper says, "By the way Ara I've a joke for you."
Rhoaleper says, "There was a pirate captain, who was known among his crew for his bravery."
Rhoaleper says, "Every time he went into battle, he would say to the crew "Get me my red shirt!""
Rhoaleper says, "This is so that if he was wounded in battle, it wouldn't show to the enemy."
Rhoaleper says, "Anyway it became his catchphrase, such that the crew would wait for him to shout it when they got into battle."
Rhoaleper says, "So they were sailing once, when suddenly they were attacked by none other than Bluebeard the pirate, the most feared pirate of the seven seas."
Rhoaleper says, "They were completely outclassed, and got shot up badly. Then the enemy ship grappled."
Rhoaleper says, "The crew waited for the captain's catchphrase."
Rhoaleper says, ""Get me..."
Rhoaleper says, ""... my brown pants.""
Arachne laughs
Rhoaleper says, "XD"

Cursed Arachne

2009-03-15T15:14:00.000-05:00

Another skirt fell off today. I was worried Daddy had cursed me somehow so I mostly stayed indoors, only venturing out to go buy a new skirt at Tikao’s tailor stall on Lima Island. And that’s pretty much all I did for fear of what else might dust and fall off.

Vargas Still Mad [Ara]

2009-03-14T15:12:00.000-05:00

My skirt fell off. I hate it when they do that. But it had been wearing thin so it wasn’t really that big of a surprise.

Luckily I was home when my skirt fell off and I had a spare to put on. Chavez was home too so I went down to watch him play poker and to enter a sword fighting tournament for pie. Really it was the pot belly stove I wanted so I was striving for third place.

Bayne seems to be afraid of me, but I’m not sure why. I’m not a violent person. Really, you can trust me, I’m a pirate.

Something of note during the fight was someone who wished me luck. I always wish my flag mates and hearties luck, but had never been wished luck by a stranger. It was something to take note of. There are still courteous pirates out there.

After I lost the tournament I went to the Cursed Isles with my crew to see if Daddy was still mad at me. Either he is still mad I’m going to marry Flood again, or the cultist are rebelling. I’m not sure which because I haven’t been able to actually speak to Daddy myself.

The cultist are always very poetic, even if they are mean to me. . . the daughter of Vargas the Mad.

Vargas is Mad [Ara]

2009-03-13T14:40:00.000-05:00

My crew went off to the Cursed Isles without me and I needed to give Daddy -Vargas the Mad- his invitation to my wedding so I had to go. I decided to set out with a different crew instead.

Things didn’t go so well and I was stabbed repeatedly and hard. I think Daddy might be mad at me. He tried to keep me and Flood apart in the past by kidnapping Flood for several days.

I Like to Stab Things

2009-03-12T14:38:00.000-05:00

I went to the inn to practice my sword fighting and rumble skills. I actually fought someone who wished me luck before the fight. That impressed me a little because so few do that. But he didn’t say good game after I beat him.

While I was there some random person decided to try to add me to her hearty list. I was going to dismiss it because I expect everyone on my hearty list to in fact be my hearties. Instead I figure I’ll just stalk her in the future and she’ll either be the friend she claimed she wanted to be by adding me to her list, or she’ll delete me from her list and flee.

Then I went on a little sloop pillage with my crew, Bootleg Bandits. Rohanl was at the helm. I sailed rather than carped because someone else was on the carp when I came onboard. Later in the voyage I had the chance to carp for a little bit, but was asked to move back to sails and let someone else carp instead. I thought that was silly because I was doing excellent on carp, but only good on sails. I soon turned that around and started doing well in sails too.

Khoney and I had the same fashion sense this day, we were just wearing different colors.

Lazy Post With No Text [Ara]

2009-03-12T14:37:00.000-05:00

Kehle The Bandit

2009-03-11T14:38:00.000-05:00

I found a swabbie at an inn who claimed she was legendary in sword fighting so I thought I’d poke her with my stick. I beat her three times in a row, called her a liar and walked away.

I heard the Bootleg Bandits were filling up a ship to take out on a pillage, so I decided to go along with them. They instantly welcomed me into their crew. I went and delivered my new shirt I ordered this morning so I wouldn’t have to be seen in rags and got myself a pirate badge so I wouldn’t get that message that keeps telling me I’m not getting my share due to the wrong badge. I got it anyway, because it seems I was promoted during the trip to officer.

Everyone loved me. They wanted to be near me, it was awesome.

I did an incredible job. . . well okay only once and it’s so rare I feel the need to mention it here.

I found out that brigands hate Captain Corn. He probably stole their sheep.

Captain Corn and myself were on carpentry and were always in the top two spots, but he more than myself. I stole his hammer when he wasn’t looking in case it was the lucky hammer, but that didn’t work. So he offered to switch stations with me and that worked for one league point putting me in the top spot for the next report. Shortly after a carper was asked to move to sails and when no one else did, I dropped the hammer for a marlinspike.

Windward Vale Bank Robbed!

2009-03-11T14:04:00.000-05:00

I heard that Falbard had a celebrity onboard his ship, so I ran over to see for myself. When I got there Jacenz was beating up on Little Richard. We wanted a group photo of us all together, but Little Richard thought he was too good to stand with the rest of us.

Rohanl was playing poker and complaining about his bad run of luck lately at the table. I suggested he go to the Cursed Isles, kill a cultist, cut off her head, soak a deck of cards in her blood, and then sleep with the deck under his pillow that night. I assured him that would clear up his luck right away.

Most my day was filled with lots of random chatter. Just a bunch of good mates hanging out and entertaining each other with words.

The bank dispute between myself and Captain Corn ended when he got the bank, which he then proceeded to rob. He admitted there wasn’t much there to take and I laughed at him and pointed out that I’d already gone through the coffers the week previous.

It was a good day.

Engaged

2009-03-10T11:01:00.000-05:00

First thing I did was go buy myself a wedding outfit. I don’t already have anything in all white, so I had to buy something. I bought it at Flood’s shop on Jubilee.

Then I went to the bank and stood behind the counter dreaming of a day when I might own the bank for more than just a week at a time. I’ve posted about it on my flag forums and everything, that I really just want the bank. I care nothing for being governor.

But then Tikao told me Captain Corn also wanted the bank and I’d have to fight him for it. So I tried that. He wasn’t willing to budge. It seems I’m not the only one with a great love for completely random buildings. I need it to be my counting house on the island, because I have no where to keep my money. Since there are no shacks on Windward Vale my only other option is to sail Sea Web all the way from Tigerleaf Mountain to Windward Vale and use her as my counting house.

Phae ran by us shortly after our fight and so Corn lost all the fight that was him and spent many of the next hours curled up in a ball weeping piteously.

I decided to randomly give out some love advice to my fellow flag officers and it was during this time that Flood admitted that one of the reasons he’s so coy is that he wanted a token of my affection. Rings are too expensive, so he’ll have to settle for something else. It was at that moment I decided I needed to certify our union, which is all a ring is for anyway, so I hunted down a scribe and had a certificate of authenticity drawn up.

I jobbed with the Bootleg Bandits but they were in battle when I joined them, so I had to stand on the shore and yell out random things to entertain myself. Many thanks to Rohanl who laughed at me. It’s not as fun being crazy if people don’t point and laugh.

At one point during this voyage we went past an island but didn’t stop. A little jobber kept going on and on about how we were going to lose and should have ported. I kept telling this jobber we were not going to lose, but he just wouldn’t listen. I had to get rough with him. Of course we won. So many thanks to all who were there for not making me a liar. ♥

After telling Ribka I thought she was awesome, I hunted down Flood and stood next to him all intimidating like. He likes it when I do that. He even told me where he was fleeing to so I could stalk him there. Such well behaved prey.

We went to his shop so I couldn’t resist pointing out that I’d bought my wedding dress and it was on order. It’ll be ready in a couple of days. He decided to pretend to have forgotten we were getting married again. He did that a lot the last few times we were married. Never forgot we were divorced though.

I told him I needed a bigger house, but really I don’t expect him to spend that kind of money. I’m a simple girl with already a nice collection of houses.

He pretended to not be paying attention to me anyway and beat up on some poor greenie who stepped in. Greenie just wanted to go shopping.

I left to go pick up the certificate I had made and stopped to show Tikao before taking it back to the shop to give to Flood. He read over it very carefully as if hunting the fine print, but in the end he accepted the token of my affection and the symbol of authenticity for our union. Among pirates that’s as good as any binding contract.

Just to make sure he understood, Queen Tikao came and decreed the engagement official and binding. He pretended not to listen again by stabbing the greenie. Poor greenie.

Then we hung out and dressed up in silly clothing combinations. At least he didn’t plank us all from his shop.

Together Again

2009-03-09T14:22:00.000-05:00

Bootleg Bandits were loading up to go to Atlantis, but I didn’t have a badge and without one I’m just not brave enough to go with them. I mentioned this and so Tikao sent me four doubloons so I could buy a badge. The badges are five, but she remembers that yesterday Jacenz gave me one doubloon extra for my parlor badge, so really it was a combination of Tikao and Jacenz that allowed me to be brave enough to go to Atlantis with my favorite Bandits.

While we were waiting for the ship to load, we stood around and stabbed each other a bit. I also hopped on the table a couple of times and my sword fighting ranking went up to grand master, so Lego said he wanted to fight me. The next time I hopped on the table, he was there. It didn’t end well for him.

We got underway and I was a defender so I didn’t have to get on a station. I felt really weird for it, and every time they yelled to get on stations i wanted to run and find a carp, but they kept saying the defenders didn’t have to station up. I was all dressed to defend too in my chainmail and helm.

I went over to Madmaeven to make sure she wasn’t losing her corset yet. She often does that sort of thing ya know. It’s alright, she still had it on.

Then I went and found Captain Flood and decided to stand next to him. We’ve made up you see and he’s sorry he divorced me, so we’re going to get back together. We’re getting married again at the very next party I hold, which is of course the first of next month.

We sank, but that happens sometimes. It was still a fun voyage. Can’t win them all, or it wouldn’t be any fun. Things get dull without risk.

Later I found Chavez standing around near the docks. Why do we call them docks when they’re not docks, it’s just beach. There’s not wooden or stone docks on this island, just beach all the way around. There are a few islands with docks, but this isn’t one of them. We were on Windward Vale of course.

Tikao decided to do a pillage. She was going to drive but we decided we were brave enough to go with her anyway, so off we went.

All my flag mates know that I posted a poll on the forums in regards to Tikao’s hair color. She claims it’s auburn, but auburn is brown with red tint, normally dark. I say her hair is blonde, but she refuses to claim the same. I can’t pass up any chance to point out the color of her hair.

Wild Parties

2009-03-08T14:16:00.000-05:00

It was party time and I was afraid I’d be running late, so I ran to my counting house on Jubi -well not, run I had to cross water and to do that I had to take a ferry- to grab my money to throw at people during the party. I already had the prizes on me, I’d been lugging them around since January. These furniture pieces get heavy after awhile, but at least I’m strong as a kraken now. I ran back to the house to change since I was wearing the same clothes from the day before. I saw Chavez was there staring at the board and waiting for the party to start. I smacked his booty then ran downstairs where the tables were and thus the party would be held. I had to catch my breath from all that running for fear of popping my corset strings. Heavy breathing and corsets don’t mix.

I mentioned over flag officer chat that the party would start soon, but no one asked for an invite. Then Flood repeated my message in a flag broadcast. He can make his voice sound just like mine, it’s really eerie.

A few mates showed up over the next fifteen minutes and I was afraid they’d be all that came so I decided to go ahead and give them a tourney. I had forgotten to buy myself a parlor badge and said I’d have to wait on doubloons but Jacenz was kind enough to send me 5 doubloons for a badge. Thanks a million, Jacenz.

I started out with small tourneys offering only the old weapons I get from Cursed Isles and about three thousand poe a tourney.

It was when more mates showed up that I decided to put up the bigger prizes. We had a nice turn out for the party, my mates were just teasing me by being late. I think they all wanted to be fashionably late, but it’s not fashionable when everyone does it. Anyway, I messed up when I went to do the tournament to win the brand new yellow and brown carven bench I had to give away. I made it a public tourney. I’d also put more money in the pot for that one too. All the tourneys after that had no less than five thousand in the pot each. Swissymissy won the bench. She was very gracious about it, so I don’t feel bad.

On the plus side I think making that tournament public caught the attention of a few more flag mates who got to see the kinds of things I give away at parties and so I got several more invite requests during that one. Other furniture prizes included an aqua globe table and a tan and white sofa. Those weren’t in new condition, but if you don’t move as often as I do, they’ll last a long time still anyway.

Tikao donated some money to the party which was great, since these parties always come out of my own coffers so I’m always happy to take donations. So big thanks to Tikao for her party in giving money to throw away. What I didn’t spend of her donation last night will go toward one of the big prizes of next month’s party.

Thanks to Captain Flood who put a tourney up during the party as well. It doesn’t hurt my feelings when others put up tournaments. When I throw parties feel free to bring unwanted items and put them up as prizes.

Zippy showed up. He was really late and the party was mostly over by then. Mates were lingering to play poker on Chavez table and just hang out. Those of us left sang happy birthday to him, since it was indeed his birthday.

Since there wasn’t enough mates left for a real tournament I challenged everyone in the room, saying whoever could beat me in a swordfight would get 500 poe. Rholeper took me up on that offer and took my poe too.

It was about this time I realized I didn’t give away one of the prizes. Diamond had posted on the forums she was willing to give 2 hours of her time out as a prize, and I forgot to pimp her out to my mates.

Mint chocolate:

Behold My Mast [Kayos]

2009-03-05T12:37:00.000-06:00

I haven’t been out with my crew in awhile and I know they all missed being able to lay eyes on me so I decided to grace them with my presence. Captain Flood was there too, so I gave him a bit of a hard time about how he’d divorced Arachne and made her cry and stuff. That’s how I heard it anyway, I’ve never actually seen Arachne. There’s a strange magical spell that prevents us from ever being around at the same time.

The Brink of Dawn mates started a fun little game where you try to come up with new sayings for the swabbies based on their names. We had a Curious Nicky onboard so I decided what she should say. Of course any real pirate would have taken me up on that offer. My mast is something to behold and be held.

It was overall a fun pillage with good mates and we had lots of laughs.

We may have given Chavez a bit too hard of a time, but that wasn’t really the goal of back seat naving. I was just bored. But then I also know he wasn’t really offended because he also participated in back seating naving himself.

Then Chavez got in trouble and got Tik wet.

Governor Arachne

2009-03-04T12:24:00.000-06:00

I woke up and tried to step out of the house, but my top fell off. That was about the same time a pigeon carried over to me a request from Captain Flood to join him on his pillage. I had to reply back asking him to wait until I could get dressed.

I was doing the normal singing and playing of the hornpipe like I always do. I was completely obvious to the events ahead of me. If I’d known Tik was going to try to sneak force me to be governor, I’d have hidden for a week until it was no longer my turn.

I’m not a violent person.

I stared deep into the abyss to see if it will really start staring back at me. It was afraid.

Then Tikao tricked me. She waited until I was too tired to think and made me governor of Windward Vale. Not really sure why I fought it so hard, or why she fought so hard to give it to me. We’d been arguing about a week over how I didn’t want it. There’s absolution no point in it though. I mean we don’t even get greenies for me to stand on the docks and pretend I’m someone important to.

Maniac Jobber

2009-03-01T12:10:00.000-06:00

Khatt asked Tikao to pet him but instead she demanded he go find me and make me come to her because she needed an XO. He was a bit upset she didn’t think he had the power to yell as much as I do, but I reminded him that not only is he not in the crew, he’s not an officer of any crew and so I’m more qualified.

So I boarded the ship and asked to permission to do so. In that order.

Most the trip was uneventful and the jobbers were mostly well behaved. I did have a little troll come onboard at one point. He thought he could push my buttons. My heart is as cold and dark as the bottom of the sea, it’s a bit hard to push my buttons. Besides that, he picked the wrong topic. On that day I’d rather have been carping than XOing. In fact he logged so I couldn’t keep playing his game, which I was winning. Trolls hate it when you turn their own game against them. At any rate, I requested of my crew that he be muted and never jobbed again.

Maniac has been invited to job for 'Dark Horizon'.

He didn’t dampen my mood any so the voyage continued onward. Raven joined us, which was good, because I was getting tired of heard Dai whimper like a lost and lonely little puppy.

I didn't emerge from my house until it was really late but Falbard asked me to join him and the Bandits on a pillage and so I did.

Then I went to sleep and that's pretty much all I did for the day. I don't really know what happened on the voyage, becuase I had hardcore puzzle vision.

Carp Yer Wood [Ara]

Against my better judgment, I went on a flotilla with Bootleg Bandits. I say it was against my better judgment because I really hate going on flotillas. I find them more boring than watching a landlubber sleep. Not that I ever watch people sleep, that’d be a creepy stalker thing.

Dai and Jax came and Dai admitted she has him on a tight leash. Though by the way she held his cannon the entire trip, I think he gets as much as he gives in that relationship. I pretended not to notice and kept playing with my wood. . . at my carpentry station.

When the ship came out to rejob, I jumped it. I think others were jumping ship too, but the flotilla had taken everything I had and I had to flee. I really want to support my flag mates when they go into these things, but I just find them so boring and an overdose of boredom makes me tired.

Doorway Meeting [Ara]

I went on a pillage with Bootleg Bandits on one of their larger ships. Tikao and Chavez were wearing masks to try and hide from me, but I know they anywhere and it didn’t work. After the voyage I proceeded to attack them as I always do. I had a rope so I tired up Chavez.

I left the ship and stalked Captain Corn for a little bit. He had an extra broken bottle and I didn’t have room for it, so he gave it to my minion Chrena.

Then I went back home and found Chavez and Tikao having a meeting right inside the front door. They really should go somewhere private for their meetings. Ramina came with me and she decided it was her turn to stab both of them.

Then I threw some love around and went to sleep.
