((I heard about the CSS Virginia from other sources than wikipedia, but mostly it was just combing through the commons to get the picture, then find the pages where it is used. Say what you will about wikipedia, but they care about getting their sources right, unlike the majority of other websites.
And 2nd: No computer game can be completely realistic. My point is that only two of the ships (now three) do actually look like ships that could have been used during the pirate age.))
((I guess you have a point... But I don't realy care as long as it have sails and look a little like somthing they could have used in the pirate age. Ohh and btw, I agree on wikipedia :D))

((The accompanying ships are unquestionably too recent, but I believe they are still entirely sail-powered. I had assumed that the funnel was for the kitchen, not a steam engine.
Granted, anything smelly and smoke-producing would be in the front of the boat (sail power and all), so they might be steam-driven.))

"How do I cook? I usually don't do much of the cooking but I'm pretty good if I say so myself" He plops another beer in front of the admiral. Two others approach the bar-front, a man and a small girl. Hmm, interesting look he gives the Navy Guy, James chuckled to himself. He ordered a beer and a milk, presumably for the girl, so James put them in front of him. James only slightly pays attention to their conversation until the young girl pulls a crossbow on the navy guy. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. No weapons in my bar young lady. If you have a problem with this guy take it outside. Otherwise put the crossbow back where it came from please." James has one hand under the counter just in case.....
She Puts Her Crossbow Away her Crossbow,Though Still Looks Mad.Mark Says to the Bartender:"You Do NOT Want to be on her Bad Side.I Crossed There Once.It Still Hurts."
I smile to the little girl, before I turn my attention towards the bartender again "let me know if you ever get bored of being stuck in This town forever" I ignore the newcomer, one of the work.for-the-best-price guys. I look back at the little girl "If you ever get tiredof beeing a pirate, than come see me" I smile to her and laugh "you could realy be a good captain"

"Look mister, we may be stuck in this game, but it's still a game. The second you trot yourself into my bar your head up display should have shown you the three rules of my bar. 1. No weapons, 2. No fighting, 3. If you have no room sleep on the floor. If you have a problem with those rules you know where the door is." The admiral guy asks James if he want's a job. "Get rid of the ship, then I'll take your offer for a transport. Oh if you actually are going to attack that ship I got some info on it if you're keen." Then another man enters the bar and orders the best beer and steak. "Give him a cold one and some of Courtney's steak," James says to a barmaid. She quickly returns with the man's order. Again he only shows little interest in their conversation until the new man complains about a lack of salt in the steak. Damn it, James thinks as he puts his face in his hand. "Holly, watch the bar for me while I go remind Courtney that salt goes into nearly all our food," James says to a pretty blonde barmaid who promptly takes over as he rushes out back. Holly takes the newest man's order for a steak and sends him another of Courtney's saltless mistakes.

Job: Pirate captain Personality:
The port [that had been sacked] was an utter ruine. Not so much as a stone stack'd on another nor a single poste in the aire was to be found on the whole of the isle. T'was but ashes and cobbles strewyn all about. A moust foul and ghastly stench of burning flesh pervaded the ruine as was evidence'd by the blacken'd skulls and squeletons. In the centre of the ruine, where once stood the plaza, was the moust horrid of all the seights I and my men have ever had the displeisure of witnessing. Thirteen crucifixes were erect'd upside-doun and affix'd to them were thirteen men. One we identify'd as Governor Braddock bye thouse effects we did find on his person, thouse other poor souls shall be known only bye God. They had been cover'd in boiling tar and then covered in haye and fur for the purposes of giving them the visage of beests. They were then nail'd to the crucifixes upside-doun - whilst still alive as evidence'd by their screeming faces.
- Excerpt from after-action report on the Sack of Barbuda by the Black Furry from Commodore Halsey
Apperance: The Black Furry wears a fully-body black fursuit with a wolf-styled mask whose beady, white eyes have been replaced with empty, black pits. The fur of his fursuit is matted with blood from his victims and stinks terribly due to the blood but also due to the fact that he never removes his fursuit. Over the suit, he wears a tattered buttoned-down captain's jacket he took from the captain of a Dutch Indiaman.
Ship: Galleon Name:The Black Furry Apperance
The Black Furry is much darker than the galleon in the depiction above. Algae and barnacles cover the hull of this dismal ship and the rotting corpses of rival captains and deckhands hang from the mast, attracting flocks of seagulls that peck and eat their flesh. Black crossbones adorn the sails and a huge tattered, black flag flaps from the rear mast, bearing a white wolf skull and crossbones.
Cannons: 62. 30 culverins along the port and starboard sides. Two mortars pointed forward at the stern. Mast: Three. Top speed: Nine knots with good wind. What does “starboard” and “port side” mean?: Starboard's the right side of a ship. Port's left.
((Hmmm. Usually when there is a "no weapons" rule in a bar it means no drawing weapons. At least that what the rule in my bar means))
Holly looks terrified at the man who flipped the knife into the air then caught it for a flair effect. She whistled at two tables of men closer to the bar-front. The two groups of five rose as they came towards the front of the bar revealing themselves to be guards. They move up behind all the people at the bar-front and Holly points to the knife flipper and the men congrue behind him. "James says that I can give you one chance to put the knife away before these men throw you out the door. Please just put the knife away and continue whatever it is you were just doing." Holly's eyes are wide and concerned as well as both her hands seem to be grasping something under the bar's front. Quiet chatter can still be heard in the kitchen behind the bar, as well as some succulent meaty smells coming from the kitchen. The meaty smell wafts into the bar and slowly fills the bar.

((sorry denied. You wouldn't be able to get a full boddy fursuit in this game, it was suposed to be realistic, so the programmerd didn't putt in those kind of outfits, you would only be able to wear normal chlotes for that time period))
Helgi throws the knife in the air once more, catching it again expertly. "You mean this knife?" He rams it into the wood of the bar. As he removes his hand, the knife keeps standing, quivering slightly, the point stuck in the wood. "It's been handed out to me to eat this excuse of a steak."
Apparently still not concerned about the menacing men, and chewing slightly, he pours a generous measure of salt into his palm. "And about me continuing with my business, well..." He puts the salt pot down and slips the free hand into his jacket. "... how about you lame arses get back to your drinks and keep your heads down? I've seen better bouncers at children's parties."
"how about you shove some respect?" I say to the rude guy "this is his bar after all, and besides those men" I point over my shoulder "are pretty good fighters" I look at him "put the knife down before sombody gets hurt"

My... entire... knowledge... of naval history... is trying... to strangle me...
But seriously, that guy's ship is an ironclad. It's the CSS Virginia. It was made in 1862 during the American Civil War. And also, the first use of iron armor on ships was during the Crimean War when Napoleon III ordered people to put iron on his ships because the Russians (specifically, their newfangled Paixhans guns) could easily kill wooden ones.
((Wouldn't it be more useful if it tried to strangle him?
Also, while I am certainly for more strict rules for approval of applications, they should affect unsuitable already-accepted [*cough* Mythra *cough*] applications as well.
Also, we need more crewmembers instead of captains. Otherwise this RP will become boring the moment we leave the harbor, because the chances of two ships meeting out there in the archipelago are slim at best. With someone to talk to during ship travels, you wouldn't have to write the story of your ship alone.))
I DO Agree that we Need More Crew Members.As for the Stricter Rules on Accepting Apps(By the way,Hurtful.)I Think Their Fine Right now.But Still,ybj,I Can Can Have a Ship From the 1900's But He Can't have a Full Fur Attire?A Little Harsh.))

Holly shrieks when the man stabs the bar-top and pulls a rifle out from under the bar pointing it at the knife man's face. "Why did you hurt the bar?! What has it ever done to you?! The poor, poor bar has been hurt now! Put the damn knife away before I shoot you! Guards, guards I need some help here," Holly yells at the men behind the barstools. The men behind the barstools pull out their cutlasses and pistols and all (except one) point at the man (the other one prematurely fires his pistol in the holster and shoots his own leg). James walks out, with half a steak in mouth, to see this scene. He almost drops the steak but catches it mid fall and plops it back in his mouth. "Now Holly, what's going on out here?" "James, thank goodness you're, back this man has been causing shenanigans with a knife." "No sooner have I gotten a girl to put her crossbow away does another man think it funny to pull a knife eh?" James slides over towards the knife guy still chewing on the steak in his mouth. "Now what's your major malfunction that you can't simply eat, drink and be merry without the use of a knife?" James asks the knife guy.
