Topic: Econ War needs eight bloodthirsty pirate lords!

[Herr Burt]

Scallywags, cheats, and liars needed for immediate employment with high pay for job with high mortality rate

Avast! you scalawagss!  Put down your cheap rum and prepare to become famous!  Economic War needs eight bloodthirsty pirate lords who are interested in a career of murder, plunder, betrayal, blackmail, and debauchery.  Applicants should be looking with a fond eye (only one good eye required) towards a final retirement filled with complete decadence.   The ability to smash small, lightly armed, innocent civilian craft with all manner of illegal arms, to movitate a large number of men (or racial equivalent) to perform criminal acts of depravation, and to get away clean under the watchful guns of an imperial navy are all considered a plus.  The ability to stab your best friend in the back in order to line your own pockets is an absolute requirement.  (All rules in the Pirate Code to the contrary are more like "guidelines" than real law.)

Pooftas, panzies, naval officers, and Cubs fans need not apply.  (Yes, I know those are all really the same thing.)

Interested applicants should present themselves to Herr Burt in this thread in order to receive your examination (bring gold) and to receive your commission.   <snicker>

You will be expected to:

1) Die.  Quickly.  Yes, I know that sounds harsh.  But let's be honest.  Half of you eight will be dead at the end of the first week, and we'll be down to only two left at the start of the third.    And what good is plunder if you don't live to enjoy it?  Only those convinced that they are the blackest, meanest, most dishonest pirate ever to disgrace a naval vessel (or else are so drunk and self-deluded they dont know any better) should apply

2) Lead a band of men who'd just as soon slit your throat in your sleep than give you your pimp-share of their loot on a crusade to take over the entire black market.

3) Serve as a single point of contact for your faction for campaign announcements

4) Serve as the person who tells Herr Burt which of several "special projects" your faction will undertake during each phase of the war.

5)  Drink, rape, and pillage.    A lot.


THIS JOB WILL BEGIN IN LATE APRIL!  DON'T WAIT TO APPLY!

Given the amount of public drunkeness this would require I'd nominate
t00l,Chuut,DH & Pig for the first four.

Oddly enough I'm not sure who the lushes are on the Coalition side... it's so hard to tell

[Hexx]

Ummm,..  that would be me.      

but

Is this going to be a Dynaverse server ?

..... 
 well I'm assuming he hasn't coopted the code for EVE (although that would be cool...)

[Hexx]

And just for the hell of it (can I say Hell?.. I know I'm a pirate but.. I dunno..what if t00l bans me?)

Assuming this goes sometime after Easter,
I am more than willing to betray,backstab,blackmail,or steal from pretty much anyone that plays this game.
Do I get bonus points for laughing while they die?

Ahh the Dread Pirate Hexx's name shall soon be cursed even more than it is now.
(Maybe even by someone on the opposite side...)

But of course!

You're allowed to say anything, so long as you start the sentence with, "Arrrrr!"

No leadership role for me this time, did it last server when I didn't sign up to do so, definately passing this go round.  Besides I might want to push particular individuals into rocks, ummm... wing with certain specific valued comrades for this one.

[Herr Burt]

You want to push people into a rock?  But that describes the whole job of pirate leadership!

Your minions don't bring in enough gold, you push them into a rock.

They show up late with a payment, you push them into a rock.

They give you lip, you crush their larynx, impale them three times -- in case they mistakenly think the firs two times were an accident -- on the horns mounted on your cabin wall, and then shove them into a rock.

And since you're the Overlord, no one can kick you out of the club for doing it.   

-Herr Burt


P.S.  Oh, yes, almost forgot.......     Arrrrrrrrrr!

[Dfly]

I may be persuaded to take on the role of RM for a coalition race, if the payement is high enough

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

Nope thats the job of the boss's right-hand man, to watch the others and to enforce the bosses will.  The bosses job is to watch the right-hand man.   

[Herr Burt]

Any body thinking about this besides Hexx?

Temporary retirement from flag positions (10 month old teething girl does wonders in screwing up schedule and the fact that she's attempting to learn keyboard operation skills prevents her from sitting on my lap while in-mission) has preculded my usual tossing of hat into ring...

Wait till they're 3?  My little one's tall enough to climb herself up and reach the keyboard on the keyboard tray and begin basic keyboard training, or anything I've got sitting on the first 3 inches of my computer desk...
My other two were fairly keyboard trained by 2 (after being busted enough times they knew better than to do the usual kiddie thing of slamming on the keyboard full-handedly), and my son was actually a fairly competent ISC Star Cruiser weapons officer before he was 3... (under orders to only press "Z" when I told him to)...

[Herr Burt]

I am but with so little experience with Dyna I worry that taking the roll of a RM might not be a good ideal.

What better time to learn the job than in the middle of a new style of D2 campaign?

If you do well, then you'll be a legend.   If you do poorly, then your men will just put bounties on your head or kill you themselves.  They'll have fun patting your back if you make them win, and they'll have fun stabbing your back if you make them lose.   So what's the worry?

 I will handle the Beast Riders if that is OK as the FC will fly that cartell

You cheesy bastiges...

I'll of course lead the noble Tigerheart to conquest.
Or oblivion.

Either way.

[Herr Burt]

Arrrrr!!!! Deadman and Hexx, welcome aboard!  Thank ye kindly, mateys.   We appreciate your (expensive) service.

What about you, Skaren?   You still interested?

From the Buccaneer's daily

Flag Officer seeks position

Graduate of Concordian Star Naval Academy finds self exiled from Government service while needing to create fund to put 3 quadruplate youths through college.

Bringing proven naval leadership and strategic operations skills to the position, always willing to loyally work with a lord and group that truly appreciates his services.  Said officer has been considered a tactical liability by some high commands in the past, he rarely, if ever, can be found at the helm of his ship during prime-time operations.

Well versed in Plasma operations, capable of operating a cloak, familiarized with carrier operations and understanding the use of many other weapon systems, said officer is capable of flying most any loadout effectively.  Also versed with the care and upkeep of ships with large combat capabilities and very little defense, native vessel is frequently called a "pocket dreadnought", carrying the guns of a big ship on a cruiser hull.

Prefers to work with a strong Lord, and willing to share the lifetime of experience and knowledge of flag positions with an appropriately deep pocketed person.  Interested Lords are advised to send a copy of the contract and a sample of available wealth to Subspace Box 673, Concordia Prime, for review.

(OOC: this is a statement that I'm available for A/RM duties, and willing to help a newer RM (Skaren?) learn the ropes...   Sadly, I don't forsee having the time to commit to the full RM-ship this round...)

[Skaren]

Sorry but I am going to focus my efforts on practicing for Schramms ACSIII campaign, I think it shows a lot of potential. 

I have found that because I am used to flying with my set group of like 10 players here in Western Mass, I suck on GSA.  I have so gotten used to their style that when I run into the these other guys they kick my ass.  I feel like a freaking newbie again.  So I need to hunker down and hit the keyboard in practice.  I just joined a fleet and don't want to be known as the guy from planet Newbinian.  Dfly and Warchild have taken to giving me some excellent training lessons, and I owe it to them to get better ASAP!  I need to practice human vrs human,.. alot

So I am going to have to say no, but I wish you luck and think you have a great storyline.  It is nice to see a storyline in a Dynaverse campaign.  Congratulations and have a blast you guys.

[Hexx]

Although I'm not familiar with this ACSIII campaign so I don't know what the setup is,
imo you can't beat D2 campaigns for PVP practice. GSA is decent, but really teaches you
how to match BPV's rather than fight at an advantage/disadvantage.
Whereas with a D2 campaign you never know what you're gonna draft or get hit by.
