[Fixerben]

So the other day I was talking to this real gullible Fixer. I wont mention his name. Just call him PirateFixer1. And this was part of our dialogue.

Fixerben:You know, I think we should be pirates.
PirateFixer1: What? I dont know anything about being a pirate.
Fixerben: I will teach you then.
PirateFixer1: Alright.
Fixerben: First thing you have to know, is to know about your ship.
PirateFixer1: Ok, Where does the Captain normally stand?
Fixerben: The Captain normally stands on the Poop.
PirateFixer1: The poop?
Fixerben: Yes, the Poop.
PirateFixer1: Why am I standing in the poop, shouldnt someone clean it up?
Fixerben: No the Poop is where the Captain stands to steer the boat.
PirateFixer1: hmm...Okay...So where does the Poop come from?
Fixerben: Its part of the ship,
PirateFixer1: So this is where I use the bathroom then?
Fixerben: No, you go to the bathroom in your Head.
PirateFixer1:My what?
Fixerben: Your head.
PirateFixer1: Do all the men on the ship have a head?
Fixerben: No, Just you.
PirateFixer1:Well that explains the poop, so this must be where my men go then?
Fixerben: No, they go over the side.
PirateFixer1: Well obviously if they dont have a head.
Fixerben looks puzzled but continues to talk.
Fixerben: So now let me tell you about the Mast.
PirateFixer1: Ah yes, the mast, where is that.
Fixerben: It sticks out of the Poop.
PirateFixer1: Now why..
Fixerben: Dont interrupt. The mast sticks out of the Poop, and you stand here with your Coxswain.
PirateFixer1:My whats swaying?
Fixerben: You Coxswain, you know...the Boatswain ...the Coxswain.
PirateFixer1: Well I hope my Cocks swaying if the Boats swaying.
Fixerben shakes his head...
PirateFixer1: Now wait wait wait.
Fixerben: What?

***PUNCH LINE***

PirateFixer1: So your telling me that the mast sticks out of the poop that I am standing in, while the Boatswain and my Coxswain. I have to go in my head. And my men go over the sides because they dont have a head.
Fixerben: Yes.

Fixerben takes a bow,

Athank you

Certainly alts are allowed!. As I perceive it, our priorities are Style (always a key element in Cyberpunk, or else mirrorshades and Miir suits would never be seen), Fun (c'mon, pirates are fun!), and gameplay (everything else, including but not limited to extending OT influence over Rubi Ka).

That being said come one come all!

Ben: GREAT post about the confusion regarding maritime terminology. Try teaching people how to pronounce words "properly" sometime, like Forecastle (foc's'le), Coxswain (coxin), or Boatswain (Bosun) sometime

[_______________Viray]

LOL now that is some funny stuff...

[Fixerben]

added a little more about the Coxswain and the Boatswain.

[Kyrstina]

((OMG this is such a great idea!!! I think I would about die laughing if I saw this, but I absolutely love it! I agree though....should've gone neut.....then terrorize the high dunes!!! Yarrr!!!))

Kyrstina heads off to her local bar muttering "Yarrrr..." and "Avast ye swabs...." and "Bring me ale, wench".....

ARR!

Foul Ole Ron jaywalks in with a limp and glares at the others while drooling intimidatingly ..

Aye, I've always wanted to be a pirate!
Too bad you're corporate pirates and not rebels like you should be .. ;p

Admit it!
A pirate guild should be clan, not omni ..

*ding!*

[UwensBack]

A pirate guild perhaps, but these ae privateers! With a shiny Letter of Marque and everything!

[Exalt]

ARRRRRRRR!

That be" Corporate Raiders" at yer service to assist in yer "Rightsizing" needs and revenue management, cuz "Omni-Tek be yer Mateys". We be not yer enemies, we be yer friends!

When ye see the black flag with the Chrome Skull n' Crossbones (TM) approachin, ask yerself if ye have been operatin efficiently. There be always room in the crew fer an able bodied swabbie. In this economy, we are one of the few crews who can actually afford to expand, due to our unique budgetary allocation system. Yarrrr!

This is simply the best idea for any ogranization i've ever heard of. Rumguzzler, you have my full respect. I love this idea. Bringing the old age mytho's of the pirates into the future, it could make for great fun. I wish you all the best in this. Very very cool concept.

[Exalt]
