Arr, mateys. My alignment with KI in this year's Altador Cup has made my inner pirate emerge with a freshly sharpened cutlass clenched 'tween her teeth. >;3 If ye fellow seafarers are in need of a new crewmate, just give a whistle and shout for Robyn, aye?

Mmyes, we don't really condone this whole cutlass-between-teeth approach on this ship. We had a lad here once who'd read the right books, as it were, and when we attacked a merchant ship, he clenched his cutlass between his teeth all proper-like and went and swung himself into the other ship's rigging. Topless Harry, we wrote on his coffin.
(Yeah, name that reference xD)
...welcome right aboard ^^ Good timing, in fact. I came here primarily to smack my crew or the sad remains of my crew around a bit and ask how this old-ish new roleplay idea is sitting with everyone. Now that we're moreorless officially out of the GW3, it'd be high time to get the actual guild back on tracks and do something about the general activity levels of the pirates. Of course, problem number one there is that as long as GW3 itself isn't all that over, we can't well start a new roleplay (because it'll supposedly start with everything resolved and back to normal) and problem number two is that as of this month, I'll be at work from 6 to 6 and need at least 8-10 hours of sleep daily, so my free time is limited at its worst. But I'm known for being able to make time for the guilds, so I don't worry all that much. So, where's everyone else stand? Ideas, availability, activity, all that?

("I don't know if you've ever seen a soft-boiled egg after you've picked up your knife and sliced?" XD) As far as ideas and availability goes, I'm pretty darn available right now. I'm out for the summer, and I don't have much to do besides surf the web, although I will have to take driver's ed in the next week or so. But I always make time for the things I like. ^^ It's been a long, long while since I've roleplayed anything with anyone, and I'm fully prepared to be true to my rookie self both in the guild and on the ship. I'd much rather go along with a vet's idea right now than try and throw out something ridiculous myself. I'm not quite sure what you mean by activities, but that reminded me-- I'm going to draw an epic picture of my pirate self sometime in the near future. I'll let you all know when it's done. 8D

See, that's why grapnels are a favorite. Or the blarf, largely because we've yet to get a mechanical submarine to pedal around in. (For the record, I like you =D)
The problem with roleplays is that it doesn't usually pay to start one shortly after the previous big one has ended; people get sapped of energy and creativity pretty fast. Then again, not like any of us were particularly active in the GW3 recently. So it should work out well enough. ...another problem is that nobody ever checks this freegin' subboard save for the latest updated thread xD I think it's time for a captainy mass PM.
As for activities, Jina and I have been plotting a treasure hunt event similar to the third stage of Mafia Wars back then, but it'll presumably be an all-guild event. This place needs more guild-centric stuff that isn't roleplays, turning into a one-trick pony is never good for a guild's health. So yeah, all ideas for all sorts of piratey things to do around here are more than welcome. Mrm, and Robyn, while you're at profile drawing, you could also go and post your persona profile on the Guild Persona Thread, yesplz? ^^

Didn't you at one point mention something about a lizard? Not sure how set in stone that was, though. xD Anyway, I'd happy to do a roleplay.. whenever, really. Should really go get that GW post done, thinking about it. >.>
As for activities, I haven't really got any ideas at the moment. What sort of thing was done back in the day? ...Apart from burning down the ninja dojo. >.>

[glow=red,2,300]I'm all for an RP. Exploring uncharted territory seems like a better idea now. Maybe run into Rane's pirates, step on some toes and etc. And I like the idea of a treasure hunt. Let me know if I can help.[/glow]

Likewise for me. ^^ Since I'm pretty good at RPing villains, let me know if you need a decent antagonizing force. xD Or I could bring a knight into the picture just to be a pain in the neck (at least to begin with). Something along the lines of "Yeah, I've been ordered by the King to keep an eye on you guys, so you better take me with you." xD

<3 I'm totally revved to get back into a life on the high seas, full of eye patches and swords and stuff. I tend get bored by GW around halfway through, and I think smaller, more intimate roleplays are good at bringing people into a guild and re-establishing old connections. Nothing quite like an old fashioned adventure to bring a guild together.

Totally agree with you there, Goosh. ^_^ We need more small roleplays, and since (for all practical purposes) GW3's plot has been resolved, what better time, eh?

83 So maybe soon we can start mah first roleplay as a pirate? *jumps up and down* Please please please?
((Also, Goosh? Robot Unicorn Attack = the best. Ever. And for the reference to it, you win eighteen pieces of pyrite fashioned to look like glittery gold coins. n_n Shiny!))

We-ell, fact is, GW3 still isn't quite resolved, and I never was a fan of jumping on a roleplay before the previous one has been completely wrapped up, makes the whole roleplay scene look cheap. Not to mention, if we start a new RP now, GW3 might never actually be resolved, because it'd be so much easier to start a bunch of new ones in our wake and leave that thing hanging. Besides, gods know that the guilds need more non-roleplay events. So my point about coming up with piratey events still stands. We could maybe revive the RCP and the Meepit Races, get that treasure hunt going, do... something... with the old pirate shop, etc. I'm fishing for ideas right now, people. Can has some brainstorming?
Come to think of it, seeing what the mages and steampunks are doing these days... do we have any guildlore that still needs fastening? It's been so long since we last actually held a guild meeting that we may well have loose ends hanging around. Robyn, you're the eager newbie around here, is there anything in the guild that seems lacking, info-wise? Data on the ship and history and guildworld and accessibility and blah-de-blah?
*so doesn't shamelessly exploit her fresh recruits* >>;

I love RCP. <3 It's lotsa fun. And I'm in favor of a treasure hunt, or really anything in the style of Mafia Wars. Whatever happened to those awesome treasure chests? A mini-event like that could be cool if anyone has time to make icons. Which, um, I don't. >_>
If people could consider the Guild Advert contest that Jina and I were doing, it would be much appreciated. =D Because shameless plugs are fun! *shot*
ANYWAY. I'm kinda busy. Defined as, for the next three weeks, I have a maximum of two hours on the internet each day. And the next month I'll have... well, more internet, but still less than normal. XD However, I'll try my best to be here for anything.
I'd say treasure hunt rather than full roleplay at the moment-- don't get me wrong, I really want a good explore and pillage and plunder roleplay, but I don't think I have time yet.

Being the eager newbie that I am, I'm pretty much up for anything. 8D *waves newbie flags* But I haven't roleplayed in so long that I guess I'm just confused on what separates an actual roleplay from something like a treasure hunt. And I'm not sure what RCP is...or what Mafia Wars was...or what the Meepit Races are. I could guess about the very latter, but I'm sure it'd be way more complicated than I could ever imagine. X3;;; What'd be helpful for me is if someone could dig me up some of these old events so that I could go look them over. I could get a feel for what you guys did back then. (If that's not too much trouble. I'm sure I'd be fine if someone just explained them right here, too. Whichever.)
But the Guild Advert contest sounds like a cool idea. And I'm just going to throw out a guess on what it is, because I don't quite know where you've posted about it before, but are you guys trying to get people together to make some of those banners that pop up randomly at the top of the site to promote the guild? *takes a huge breath* That was a mouthful. Anyways, if that's the basic idea, I'd love to do that. ^^
