The forums are very quiet and my finals are done so I thought I might start a role-play. As always, it needs to be orderly and logical and fit with the game.
Rules:
1. When your character is doing something it must be in italics. Use normal words for talking.
2. Your character must fit with the theme of the setting. You may be an officer, but their can only be exactly 6 of them! And I recommend being a sailor!
3. You may not be any where else but on the ship. You may not jump out of the sky and kill everyone because you're a bloody spacemen or something. If you wish to be somewhere else send me a message!
4. You may choose to be loyal to the officers or not, but you can't immediately start a revolt otherwise you will be flogged!
5. again, Your character must be plausible! a list of characters you could be: A loyal naval officer, a press ganged sailor, a loyal sailor, former pirate press ganged into service, a successful pirate/privateer captain that has somehow been press ganged aboard the ship. There are more, however that's just a general rundown.
New post will set the scene.

The ship has been at sea for two weeks. She is a ship of the line with 100 guns, she is of the British navy, her name is "Independence". Her crew is 600 souls and she is sailing from Psaral to St. Martins. Her crew is made up of pressed sailors, former pirates, and a couple hundred pirates who were captured of the coast of Tortuga. The conditions are awful, weather has been fierce, whippings are common, grog is often not even given out. Many of the men are sick, the officers are cruel, several have already died. Mutiny could be a problem... Next post begins the role-play!

A short, fat pirate wearing a red shirt and a blue hat runs across the quarter deck and jumps off the side of the vessel screaming:

SCREW YOU GUYS, I'M GOING HOME!

Spoiler: show

Jack Teach watches the soldiers guarding the crew pull the man out and kill him. this truly hell Jack climbs up the rigging to get to his post.

Jack walks over to him. what's your name?

It is Razael

And you know who I am? Aye?

Jack, the priest was lookin for ye. Wanted to know if ye are ever tempted at times to spit on your hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats?

Jack looks at him. I already have done that a long time ago! But I was captured in Tortuga, most of me ships escaped. Also, tell that priest I won't confess to him anything, he's an Anglican. Jack quickly gets back to work to avoid being yelled at by the quartermaster.
