It is high time the Compendium's pirate ship set sail. We embark in 1710, and the booty we seek is nothing more than the stealing of freedom itself from the clenched hands of fate. It is a pirate's life for us.

The ship is the Venture. I know absolutely nothing about the make and composition of ships so I'm going to skip straight to the positions. If you lazy bums don't have the wherewithal to nominate people, I'll appoint my stewards myself. Let's begin. The current log:
(http://cc.herograw.org/Zeality/shiplog5.png)
We need positions for Quartermaster, Pilot, and Sailmaker! Damn you!
Play this as you read the post for dramatic music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNktZgsLvPM
Captain
Whether he commanded by election or imposition the pirate captain was the supreme commander aboard his ship. The men sailed where he told them to, fought when and whom he told them to and on the whole were ruled by him. For the elected captain his position was a precarious one, his men would obey him as long as he kept making sensible orders and brought them success, if he failed they would vote him out of office and elect another in his place. For the captain who ruled by force the position was equally precarious, if he failed to lead them successfully he faced mutiny and murder.
I, ZeaLitY, am your captain. I've led this outfit over three years and I feel I can continue to bring us hordes of hits and quality material for days to come. If there be any objection, let them be spoken candidly.
Lieutenant
I require a lieutenan; a trusty right-hand man to guide the ship if I am away or should I fall. He will wield almost all my authority.
The duties of the lieutenant were more or less to act as the captain's deputy. He commanded in the captain's absence, often took command of prizes, and during battle should have positioned himself in the forecastle while the captain was on the quarter- or poop-deck.
Master
We need a fellow with attention to detail here so we do not accidentally sail off the ends of the earth.
The master of any ship was in charge of navigation and the actual business of sailing the vessel. In matters of seamanship the master should have been obeyed entirely. In the 17th century Butler described the duties of the master thus: "to undertake the conduction of [a ship] to the places and ports whither she is bound, and to shape all courses as may best conduce thereunto;... He is to enquire and take account of all the ways that the ship hath made and upon what points of the compass she hath been steered in every watch; and to this end he is to take a view of the traverse board, and to consider of all the dead reckonings. And by his observations, to take the height of the sun or star, or both, with his astrolabe, backstaff, Jacob staff or quadrant, and accordingly prick his cart [chart, or sea card]."
Boatswain
The boatswain (or bosun) was one of the most important men aboard any sailing vessel. He was responsible for "...all the ropes in general belonging to the ship: with all her cables, anchors, and sails; her flags, colours and pendants...". He was also responsible for making sure every man was correctly on watch and at his station. During battle it was a small group of the best seamen under the command of the boatswain and his mates (if he had any) who saw to the sailing of the ship while most of the crew worked the cannons. On many ships the boatswain was also responsible for discipline. In some ships the boatswain also took on the duties of master gunner.
Gunner
The gunner's duties included taking charge of all the ship's cannon, ensuring they were properly maintained and that the crews were trained in their use. He was responsible for ensuring all the gun ports were closed in bad weather and for making sure all guns were secured. In battle the gunner would often be near the helm, advising the helmsman on how to steer so as to be able to aim the ship's artillery better.
Carpenter
The carpenter was an officer responsible for the maintenance of the ship below the deck level (including the hull, decks, bulkheads etc), in the same way that the boatswain was responsible for everything above the deck. He was responsible for replacing damaged or worn masts and yards, repairing or replacing the rudder or any other timber which needed it and for stopping leaks. Carpenters were usually experienced seamen as well as tradesmen, and often enjoyed a similar rank to boatswains.
Master's Mate
Someone to help the master in his duties.
Quartermaster
Pirate quartermasters often had more duties than their counterparts in merchant or naval vessels, and perhaps enjoyed more popularity with the crew. Where there is evidence of quartermasters having more power than one would expect it is in the nature of their being a representative of the will of the crew - it is not the quartermaster with the extra power, it is the crew themselves with the quartermaster speaking on their behalf. However, in general they did not out rank any other officers, nor did they have any real power or importance except under a very weak captain. They certainly were not second in command.
~
Lesser Ranks
Pilot: an officer partly responsible for navigation, particularly in shore navigation. Sometimes the pilot was a permanent officer on the ship, but often was just hired (or pressed) for a particular piece of coast or harbour.
Coxswain: a junior officer with duties similar to the boatswain. He was also in charge of the second largest of the ship's boats.
Sailmaker: not only was this man responsible for mending the ship's sails, but he also had charge of making and repairing flags, and often making slop clothing for the men.
Doctor: very few pirate ships probably had doctors or surgeons aboard. On those that did, he was responsible not only for the treatment of injuries but for seeing to the general health of the crew. Although we know that a number of surgeons volunteered to accompany the buccaneering expeditions of the late 17th century it is probably that most doctors aboard pirate ships of the Golden Age were pressed men, forced to join when their own ship was captured.

Come, gentlemen. The time has come to leave the ports of security and test our wills upon the high seas, where dreams are made upon the dangerous waves. Nominate your shipmates so we can set sail and begin the voyage to destiny.

Your first image is suffering an anti-hotlink problem.
Edit-Well, it isn't a problem now...
-
Man, this is inspiring, ZeaLitY. Can I be Master, if not, Gunner? I'd like to be the kind of guy to give everyone confidence boosts and such.
-
I'm not quite sure what we are doing, but I'll go for one of the middle rank thingies. Carpenter or Master's Mate I dunno lol.
-
Yeah, it's purely for the hell of it, guys. Roleplaying is kind of awkward and hard to maintain, and there's nothing else we can do. But ever since Dead Man's Chest, I've wanted to staff a full Compendium pirate ship, even if it's just some names listed in a thread.
-
I am soooo your carpenter!
-
Gunner?
-
Lieutenant here. I even look like a pirate.
I AM! AM MAN! OF THE SEA!
-
Excellent, we are filling posts. If you guys want, those who have already applied may post...I dunno, fictional crap. I'm not the most avid roleplayer or anything like that, but hell, this is fantasy. Post your pros and cons or something, right down to the wooden legs (your mother married a tree, after all).
Pirate Name: Red James Jones
ZeaLitY Pros
* Somewhat of a deranged visionary who hunts for the highest prizes
* Determined like hell in a fight
* Thinks Bartholomew Roberts was the ultimate pirate
* Has red clothes to hide blood in battle
* Aye, he is a fair captain and ensures every man gets his share
* Sometimes lets others win at Liar's Dice
ZeaLitY Cons
* Still doesn't know squat about the technical workings of a ship
* Once burned down another man's pirate ship in a drunken rage at Port Royal
* Accidentally attacked a Spanish warship after mistaking it for a merchant
* Once shot a hole in his own sails
* Keeps a safe distance from grapeshot and enemy fire in battle
* Sometimes lets others win at Liar's Dice
-
Pirate Name: Faffy McCoy
Rank: Master
Pyt Fumv Pros
- When he tells ye somethin', he's bloody right!
- Knows the best beer
- Has knowledge of the world and how to get to the destination. Arr!
- Can bark confidence into anyone
Pyt Fumv Cons
- Stinks of beer. All the time.
- Has a habit of accidentally setting his wooden leg on fire
- Navigates like a snail 5% of the time
- Barking confidence speeches is annoying
-
What the hell is THIS!? WHERE IS THE REST OF MY CREW? WE'RE ABOUT TO SAIL DIRECTLY INTO GEN DISC AND RAID IT, AND ENSLAVE ONE IF WE MUST!
ARE YOU SPINELESS?
-
Hell, no. Der Spatzi, the German, Gunner reporting, Cap'n Jones. Sorry, sir. Aerosmith concert and all that. Motley Crue, too... no, not the sort of crew you're looking to enlist. Old, sir, very old - and landlubbers each. Yes, I'm not too fond of the sea myself, but my sea-legs are just fine if need be. And, to be sure, you're not going to find yourself a better gunner, none who can range the guns so well as I. Yes, I know I don't sound particularly German - it's been a while since I left Bremen harbour. No, sir, the Crue would not be very helpful in this present distress. Why, it's only a dry spell of manpower - shore leave always does that, as I'm sure you're aware.
(Note, Spatz means sparrow in German, but I'm not taking this from PotC; the diminutive form of Spatz, Spatzi, was what my parents used to call me as a kid.)
Daniel Pros
*Rather good shot with a rifle or musket (always keeps two ready and loaded in battle)
*Not taken to carousing, so is never taken off guard drunk
*Hot-headed and belligerant
*Quite good with a cutlass
*Tends to side with authority, ie. would naturally take the captain's cause in case of a mutiny, unless the captain was very obviously wrong
*Serious and thoughtful, especially handy when setting out the gun array (don't want to be sloppy in that, do we?), but not an overly hard worker
*Often smoking a cigar or pipe
*Wears rings and jewlery of plain steel
Daniel Cons
*Only slightly bad eyesight, but refuses to wear spectacles
*Doesn't usually care too much for the sea, but took up rank in the private navy of a German state, jumped ship to a French one in battle, decided French and German doesn't mix, so skipped over Britain, but mistook Captain Jones' ship for a ship in her majesty's service (just why they were flying the Union Jack at the time he still doesn't know...) and stayed on.
*Not taken to carousing, thus often not taken seriously as a pirate
*Prefers wine to rum
*Melodramatic and prone to Classical recitation, ie. Homeric quotes, and Latin phrases (anybody read Asterix and Obelix before? Know the pirates in that? One of them always does this) - rather than 'to Davey Jones' locker' he'll cry 'to the sea's own stygian nether'... promptly treated with guffaws from the crew and opponents alike. Certain members have indeed threatened to run him through should he ever utter 'that damned fool's speech' again (meaning 'alaea jacta est')
*More apt at flourishing a cutlass than outright strong blows - and occassionally drops the blade in trying to impress an opponent
*Absolutely luckless with the wenches, which hurts his pirate ego considerably
(Hmmm... I don't like the list too much. Seems rather dull in comparison to the other two. I'll probably change a thing or two later. But for now it stands.) Oh, and, I can't resist...

I'll take the doctor position since I'm a biochem major. xD
If you want a pirate name, go here: http://www.piratequiz.com/
Pirate name: Doctor Thomas Flint, Doc Flint for short.
Flint Pros:
-Learned medicine in a secret body-snatching ring, before the anatomy act was passed and before people knew that we don't run on the 4 humors.

-Keeps a small pocket pistol with him at all times
-Lifelong musician, plays the string bass with the crew on jolly occasions.

-Prefers saving lives to ending them.
-Can't talk like a pirate.
-Can be clumsy to the point of comic relief.
-Rumored to be doing secret research on time travel in his room at night. People think he's crazy when he mentions it.

All right, you damned sea dogs! We are lacking positions! I await with bated breath the pirate names for our Bosun, Carpenter, and Master's Mate (just as nine lashes await them), but until then we shall fill the positions of Quartermaster, Pilot, Coxswain, and Sailmaker! If there be any rotten, daring spirit that thinks he is worthy to incur Poseidon's wrath, step forward!
-
Coxswain, Young John Timbers Reporting, captain Red James Jones, sir!

-
Arrrr! Ye can call me The Silver Crow!
-
Seems our crew's assemblin', Cap'n, looks like we'll be plundering small towns and kidnapping fair maidens in no time!
-
Sirs, at your pleasure, I have a wonderful idea for a target - one ripe for these here cannons. Now, I've not been there personally - no sirs, not me - but I've head tell of the place, and know that the good Lord wouldn't give a whit about our wreaking destruction there. They're a base and foolish lot - most not able to shoot a musket straight or hold a sabre. I figure some of you might have heard of the place, too, so don't be too alarmed, but I've heard reputable sources say their fighting calibre is nigh on useless. See, the way I'm thinking it, Tortuga's been overdone, but what of Gamefaqs? They've not got a fighting soul amongst them. Hey, cap'n, you've been there, haven't you? Just tell me about their defences, and I'll aim our long-range guns so as to make them rubble. It'll be a right venimus, vedimus, vicimus, I think.
-
Arr, the wood they use is a flimsy one at best, a well thrown rock could break through their walls and boats.
-
Oh honestly, if we actually went and flamed some forum like Gamefaqs (or anything else), we'd just be incurring a bunch of bad attention and reprisals. But at any rate, we need a sailmaker, and Magus068 needs to confirm whether he's a boatswain or what and give me his name.
(http://cc.herograw.org/Zeality/shiplog4.png)
-
Aye.. a nasty wind blows about that idea....
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats!

But...it's GameFAQs. Nobody cares what happens to GameFAQs.

-Sleeps a lot
-Drinks too much Booze &
-Tends to pick a fight.
Sorry for the late reply... I'm a bit busy at school.
-
I hope the D doesn't stand for what I think it is. >_<
-
Arrrr, when do we set sail? Me bones are achein for an adventure mateys. WHEN DO WE SET SAIL?!?!
-
When Zealty passes his final for pirate captain. ARRRRR!
-
If he doesn't pass, I wager he'll just take the ol' cutlass to the port authority who tries to keep the ship in dock. Nothing will keep the Venture from the open seas - if need be, I'll have the guns ready and primed in a minute. I've been drilling my gunnery crew by night, when the port authority hasn't been watching. Any ship that tries to stay our departure will have a taste of our long-range guns.

You can take them. Just don't part me from my Seven Against Thebes, and the other great war-poems.
-
your can hav your poems give me the rum
-
AYE! The RUM!
-
your can hav your poems give me the rum
You needn't worry yourself there. Just leave me my wine-stores in tact - but you won't be getting at those. I've hidden them where none might be finding them. Now, who's up for a bit of practice with sabres and muskets? I'd go cannon, but seeing as none of you have a gunnery crew, or could aim them guns to the worth of even half a penny, I'm left to shooting the admiralty's woodwork alone. Yea, I've been shooting targets at the HMS Pickle - she's docked alongside, you know, and her name doesn't belie any fighting spirit. Ye all needn't be worried - they aren't going to notice a thing till come morning - and what'll they say? Beelzebub's done it or some damn like thing, when they see their figurehead's shot to wreck.
Well, they might have heard a thing or two, it's true. Truth be told, I had to bribe the port authority to keep quiet - they came asking me about all the ruckess. Cannon-shot? Sirs, I couldn't deny it, nor would they take the excuse of a too-ready trigger finger - gun crews don't have a trigger, so they said, and I suppose they're right. But for a pound and a shilling, they were willing to hold their peace, and tell those drunk Brits on the Pickle that they heard nothing in the night. By Neptune, there'll be yelling in the morn, I'll tell you that. They'd come storming up our plank, no doubt, if that old rogue Rackham wasn't docked opposite. Who'd suspect the Venture, when they've got Calico Jack right there?
You see, next morning old Rackham's going to run up his colours, and make to leave the bay. Then those there Pickle-men, they're going to wake and see all the damage to their ship, and are going to be thinking to themselsves 'why, old Jack's been up to his tricks.' They won't even be questioning the port guards. They'll make to sail, and engage in glorious battle with the dastard pirate.
So, contragulate me, sirs. Not only have I practiced our crews, I've arranged for a morning's entertainment, a ship-battle in this very harbour, twixt that infamous mariner Rackham, and the brave men of his Majesty's Pickle. Why, old Nero himself couldn't have supplied a better display! I believe the show should begin at about an hour after sunrise, so be on deck then - I'll supply some wine from my stores, and rum as well. Till morning, schlaf sicher, und gute nacht, herren.
On thinking again, anyone still up for that sabre-and-musket practice?
-
Aim? I don't think you understand how grapeshot works, lad.

AYE! The RUM!
the rum's gone. apparently, one of the wenches burned it.
-
WHAT!?!?!
BURN THE WENCH THEN!!!
-
AYE! The RUM!
the rum's gone. apparently, one of the wenches burned it.
No Dont Burn Here!!!
There be RUM in them Veins!
-
Numbskulls the lot of you! To burn this creature, first you would have to apprehend her. I'd like to see you hollow-headed lubbers catch so much as a dead mouse, never mind master the secrets of fire and rope knots. Looks ye at your riggings! Velcro, all Velcro! Not a knot in sight. Pft!
Pull your sicked up captain out of the head and be gone! Ten years of raw fish and rancid milk have yet t' stink up my port as much as the lot of you.
-
Well, it seems to me that Rackham made it out of the port before the Pickle caught him, and His Majesty's ship is bound for some place called Trafalgar, or so I've heard. The question now is, what's our destination?
-
Aye, first we need to find an unmarked island of mine to replenish the rum. Buried some haul there over the last two years, when I served under that blackhearted captain Roberts. Just his luck that his spoil will be our delight thanks to his untimely death, hah!
Any man left upon the shore will be forgotten, and any man who leaves his arms behind is marked for death. Come now! Once you have seen my secret trove, you are under my fealty forever!

Yarr, I can only practice yee swashbucklin so much before I long for the sea. When are we to set sail??
-
Once we restock on our rum, I hope.
-
Aye, Captain, the crew's getting restless, and that's a recipie for mutiny if there ever was one, mark my words. I'll stand by you, but if you be letting us stay in dock for more than a few days here, I'd recommond stowing all our rifles in the captain's quarters and barricading the door. Elsewise our command crew's likely to wake up with our throats slit... that is, never wake up at all.
-
Aye, there be a surprise growing.
I say, Pilot! Choose a course. My brothers in the Red Dagger are cooking up a raid upon the vaunted halls of an outpost in Florida, but 'tis not ready yet. Til then, let us pillage what we please!

Sir, if you be half the commander your avatar proclaims (and I figure you for more than half), then this raid'll be a pleasure cruise to us of piratical nature.

Wake up, you dogs! The time of destiny is here! Black Sam, prepare the strategy! Faffy and James, whip everyone on deck into shape and get her ready for rough seas!

We be enterin' dark waters ahead! Krispin, if cruel destiny has marked any of our enemies for death, let your cannons be fate's instruments! We've entered a nasty corridor, and successive squall lines await to assault our sails. Pilot, set 'er up to run straight through! We do not go left, nor right around our trials; let us pierce them as they threaten us! For beyond these seas are the jewels of the blue ocean, the islands of rich spoil and illumination.
Cook! Make sure every man is fit to do battle, with three loaded pistols a piece and a cutlass that could cleave the stars in pieces! Support staff, stand by to repair any leakages or splinters! And by god, to the rest of you, stay sharp!

Weapons ready, gentlemen! We sail into the fiercest storm to ever test the mettle of our legend! Let us show the whimsical, salty jinns of the sea and air what it means to live passionately!

The king and his men stole the queen from her bed
And bound her in her bond.
The seas be ours and binds the powers;
Where we will, we'll row.
YOHO, ALL TOGETHER,
HOIST THE COLOURS HIGH.
HEAVE, HO,
THIEVES AND BEGGARS,
NEVER SHALL WE DIE.

Yar! Bringin' back the thread!
-
What the HELL IS THIS? I see cold, freeze, and tired faces, lying in surrender to the onslaught of January's bitter blow! I see passionate spirits subjected by menial drudgery, and noble aspirations silenced in the din of rubbish!

But a pirate's will is forever! The call of the seas never abates, and neither should the answer of brave men and women seeking freedom and enterprise with naked courage!
(http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/pirates3photos18.jpg)
The battle will go on forever, carried by the careless laughs of buccaneers and privateers!
Gentlemen!
There be a new domain to conquer, and she be named 2008!
