A Bit o' Fun (hey, it's Friday!) . . .

[CaptLex]

Hear ye, hear ye . . . one of our newest cabin boys has been promoted (at this rate we'll need a new batch of cabin boys soon).

[SIZE="4"]Sir Trey[/SIZE] is now the ship's Weapons Master, with all the rights and privileges attached thereto. He's in charge of the state of the guns, shot, powder, cutlasses, rapiers, muskets and pistols. So let's make it official . . . kneel before the captain, sailor (and get your dirty minds out the gutter, the rest of you ) . . . I now confer upon you the title of GenderQuest's Weapons Master. Arise, Sir Trey . . . and take your station! Congratulations, mate!

Now you may have heard rumors that Sir Trey bribed his way into the captain's good graces and new position - it's not true, he earned it solely through his hard work and dedication. So take notes if you're still a cabin boy looking for a promotion . . . though a couple of extra barrels of rum added to the cap's private stash couldn't hurt. But don't be in such a rush to be promoted, after all everyone knows that the captain favors the cabin boys and gives them extra special treatment.

[Kieron Andrew]

its true He bribed you with Amstels!!! and drank it himself to get in ur good books!

[Tristan]

[Tobie]

What's this about promotions?

And being cabin boy sounds fun.. there to help everyone?

TJ, read between the lines, man . . .

Well no . . . not really everyone . . . they're mainly there to serve the captain (this includes you, Tiergan).

Oh, I almost forgot . . . as an honorary FtM and gender pirate and due to his ability to finally find his way out of Jersey . . . Aethen has been given the title of Ship's Navigator.

If you still want a promotion, TJ, maybe I can find some position for you assisting our navigator . . .

you'll never get any work done navigating the ship if you do that lol

[ZenFrost]

Hey Cap'n, am I still the ship's mascot? I'm not even sure how that managed to happen in the first place.

[Tobie]

Well no . . . not really everyone . . . they're mainly there to serve the captain (this includes you, Tiergan).

Oh, that sounds like such a HARD life...

[Dasein9]

Cool. A weapons master. Now that section of the Ship's Library, with all the books about weaponry will finally get used.

[CaptLex]

Oh, that sounds like such a HARD life...

Now why does that scare me?

So where is Trey in all this . . . counting guns or sneaking some Bud Lite onto the ship?

Aethen, you have to share that joke with the rest of the class . . . I mean, crew.

Tristan, after careful consideration and a consultation with my . . . um, trusted adviser . . . it's been decided that you will be the navigator's Cartographer, which means you'll be working the sextant and all those other instruments. And you can keep the cabin boy position too, if it suits you - after all, you wouldn't be the first cabin boy to be promoted and still act as cabin boy as it suits the captain.

Congratulations!

So, what does one have to do to become part of this ship's party?

[CaptLex]

So, what does one have to do to become part of this ship's party?

Everyone starts out as a cabin boy until they get a promotion, which is usually based on their specific talents and skills. For example, Bi is the ship's cook 'cause he's always feeding us brownies. So, what talents have you, Durden?

I'm cabin boy first, and dirty **** boy second... err or something like that hehe

TJ, some might say there isn't much of a difference there.

So, what does one have to do to become part of this ship's party?

Well.. The proper pirate way would be to clench a cutlass in your teeth and start to climb a boarding line?

As for flogging wenches - you're welcome to come and try...



Who you bettin' on?

I'm starting to think that hobbling round on one leg and crutches is going a bit far, just to be a part of the crew... Will someone pass the rum?

[CaptLex]

Haha, cool! I thought you'd like that.
