Pirates, Piracy, Argh, Pirating, Agrivating mods.

This is a thread on which we discuss pirates, actual seafaring pirates.

Oh, and agitate mods

It has been proposed that the lack of pirates is the leading cause of climate change.

Also, did you know that

- Not a single historical fact points towards there ever having been such a thing as a pirate's treasure map

- a pirate captain did not have his own cabin

- the captain would only ever have full control over decisions regarding battle

- the captain did not make the decisions on loot and dividing the loot

- the rules on a pirate ship were very much like those in a boarding school. Lights were to be turned off at a set time, no women were to be allowed into the men's cabins etc.

- Our modern impression of pirate speech, with all its yo-ho-ho-ing and timber shivering, was largely born from books like Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island and Hollywood films like Robert Newton’s 1950 adaptation of that novel

Anyone play Sid Meier's Pirates? Unfortunately, I was never able to have the original, just the '06 adventure game. It's pretty cool, and I think that the naval combat is better than Assassin's Creed, myself.

I played the re-work of Sid Meier's Pirates. I had a lot of cute features, but got repetitive very quickly. It had a wide-open game world, but not much depth.

So we're going to talk about the Maersk Alabama, and that sort of thing? Or are we only talking about the glamorous Hollywood pirates instead of the actual murdering kind?

Anyone played AC4? Great training tool for newbie pirates. Plunder the virtual seas before ye plunder the high seas!
