New faction, Pirates - trinitiz - 06-11-2011
Never seen a server with this but pirates have always been my favourate since i was a child.
-The Pirate code-
The Pirate's Code is a long list of rules on how a pirate should behave.
1. Every crew member shall recieve an equal share of the booty/loot, Anyone who takes more than his equal share of provisions at any time shall be marooned. (To put ashore on a deserted island or coast and intentionally abandon.)
2. Each crew member shall keep his weapon, whether it be a cutlass, sword, pistol, or other piece ready for action.
3. If a pirate is the first to find a prize and should find among this plunder a weapon that is better than his own, he may take it as his own. The rest of the items will be chosen in turn with the captain first.
4. No pirate shall strike another while onboard the ship. In the event of such an occurrence, the quarrel shall be resolved on the shore by a pistol or sword.
5. No man shall game for money at any time onboard the ship.
6. If a pirate is captured by an enemy ship, he has the right to declare parlay, or temporary protection, until he may have an audience with the enemy captain. At this point, he cannot be harmed. Parlay is not considered concluded until said captives and captains have completed negotiations. << (Pirate of the caribbean :3)
7. If any Man shall steal anything in the the value of a piece of eight, he shall be marooned or shot.
8. He who falls behind shall be left behind.
9. Take what you can, give nothing back.
However... They are more of guide lines than rules.
-Pirate lords-
The Pirate King, also referred to as King of the Brethren Court, was the elective monarch and leader of the Brethren Court. The Pirate King was to be holder of great amount of power, he would lead the pirates around the globe. To be elected Pirate King, the plurality of the Pirate Lords were required to vote on a single candidate. This process was fraught with difficulty as it was common for each Pirate Lord to vote for themselves.
The Pirate King was given authority not available to Pirate Lords, such as the ability to declare war and parley with adversaries.
-Why pirates are unique-
Simple, they don't have rules
They can raid/pillage
Drink till they pass out
Gamble till they become rich or well....
Be a nuisance to society
and well... BE A PIRATE!
-How to act around pirates-
Be on guard, turn your back and you could get pick pocketed.
Never trust them, if they are lying, they are being honest, if they are being honest they are lying and when they are lying... they could be lying, they are realy unpredictable.
-Pirate myths-
Calypso: A Greek sea nymph, she was a daughter of Atlas. She was the Goddess of Silence. Being a bored lass she made it her point in life to make sure people did not complete there tasks. she was also known as the goddess of deception because of her ability to distract sailors with her beauty only to lead them to ruin and destruction because they failed to pay attention to what they were suppose to be doing.
Davy Jones Locker: Davy Jones was sailor slang for the Devil or other evil spirits of the ocean. Davy's Locker or Davy Jones' Locker was the deep ocean's bottom. To be sent to Davy's Locker was to perish at sea. To send someone to Davy Jones was to kill him or her. It should be understood that a person going to Davy Jones usually was not going to Heaven.
Davy Jones Locker: Davy Jones's Locker is an idiom for the bottom of the sea: the state of death among drowned sailors. It is used as a euphemism for death at sea (to be sent to Davy Jones's Locker),whereas the name Davy Jones is a nickname for what would be the devil, saint, or god of the seas. The origins of the name are unclear and many theories have been put forth, including incompetent sailors, a pub owner who kidnapped sailors, or that Davy Jones is another name for the devil
Kraken: The Kraken is an enormous monster capable of pulling a ship and its crew under the sea in a single jerk. The kraken was always described as giant squid or octopus. Ancient whalers saw evidence of the kraken when they harvested sperm whale and saw suction cup marks similar to those of octopus or squids on the side of the whales. The kraken was always considered mythical, typically measuring as much as 200 or 300 feet in length.
-Lore-
(If anyone can come up with a lore, PM me as i am terrible with making lore...)
RE: New faction, Pirates - Kyga - 06-11-2011
I was thinking about making a town based on pirates but I guess you beat me to it xD
I really like the rules! They sound very intresting and I think this could make a very good town/nation

RE: New faction, Pirates - trinitiz - 06-11-2011
Sorta ripped parts of it from pirates of the caribbean... but the rules sound good and i couldn't find any better ones...
RE: New faction, Pirates - trinitiz - 06-11-2011
Edited it a bit.
RE: New faction, Pirates - Android - 06-11-2011
Sounds vaguely familiar to the saga of the Vikings, which didn't turn out well.
RE: New faction, Pirates - trinitiz - 06-11-2011
Yeah, but it's all about to people who run it, not everyone is the same
RE: New faction, Pirates - Android - 06-11-2011
Of course, of course!
RE: New faction, Pirates - MainDigger - 06-11-2011
Yeah, my first thought was: Oh god, not another Vikings.
But then again, people are different. I am interested too see how this turns out.
RE: New faction, Pirates - Cerce - 06-11-2011
I really, really don't want another viking clone or some KoD replica. I do, however, look forward to the pirates - sounds like a cool idea, especially with Movecraft possibly comming.
Oh, and I'd be happy to wright you a backstory lore once I get back from camp. I'm wrighing this all on a tablet xD

I don't want a KoD replica either. Trinitz we'll be contacting you shortly about keeping any piracy within the domain of the already present crime syndicate on Kiwike.
On a different note, if there are going to pirates we should definitely consider movecraft ships...
