Okay before I start once more on my fantastic guide (even I do say so
myself) just a quick note to my reviewers.
To The Second Geek - Ladies of the Night are coming soon! Ohh a new bead to add to my lovely collection, many thanks ship mate!!
To Evanjaleene - Well, oh here's a damn interesting fact, Port Royal is known as the wickedest place on earth!! You can see why, that nasty Norrington hanging all the innocent pirates!! Port Royal is actually just South of Cuba, on the Southern Coast of Jamaica. And Tortuga. . .ah. . .Tortuga. . .is a small island (if you can call such a wonderful place small) off the island of Hispaniola.
To Kingleby - My hero. . .who I admire. . .me? Don't s'ppose that counts!! Anne Bonny was pretty cool, she was a woman who knew how to get what she wanted, and would doing anything to achieve her goals. I admire a person who'll do anything that's necessary to get what they want. Pretty good fighter, for a woman!! No offence!! She also managed to escape death when she was caught, you have to admire that!! Captain Kidd was a good pirate too, pity he got hung. . .anyway moving on. . .
And so on to my guide, and thanks to everyone has reviewed, me hearties. I'd give you some rum, but then I'd have to kill you!! Get your grubby hands off my rum *flashes sword* .
Pillaging, Plundering, Raiding.
Okay so this next bit is all about pillaging, plundering, raiding and generally making a bloody nuisance outta yourself. Now the key is to PEE!! (That should be easy to remember for the slower people out there. . .it rhymes!!)
So PEE, what does it stand for: -
Plan
Empty
Evaluate
Pretty self explanatory really: -
PLAN ~ Well there is the myth that if you plan something well enough, nothing can possibly go wrong!! Ha!! I planned the trip to get the gold of Cortez, and look how that ended! Or rather don't look. . .let's just forget that ever happened!! Okay so although it doesn't ALWAYS work, planning is good. I mean if you can name a rule that works ten times outta ten I'll give you a bottle o' rum!! Mmmm Rum. . . I could kill for some rum right now. Er. . .where was I? Oh yeah. . .planning also gives the crew a bit o' confidence. They ain't gonna be willing to just charge in without having a clue bout what their doing, trust me. Planning helps, but don't count that it's gonna work one hundred percent!
Now what makes a good plan. . .well if it works, it was a good plan, if it doesn't it was a bad plan. But don't forget some things could be like a blessing in disguise, for instance I lost the Black Pearl but I got to spend a night on the island with that rich chick, Liz!! ^_^
EMPTY - Basically attack the town, and empty it off all the valuables you can find. Remember most things are worth something, so just grab everything you see. . .oy and leave the women alone. . .that's against the code!!
EVALUTATE ~ If it didn't work, look back on and see where you went wrong. It doesn't pay to make the same mistake twice!! I've never been a fan of déjà vu. (I can speak French!!).
Okay so pick your town. If you're new to this, I suggest starting small, I mean you've got all your career to expand. Who knows you might be doing England soon!
First thing is to attack at night, when everyone is in bed, and all the faithful, loyal King's guards have fallen fast asleep. Then strike. Start with the cannons, give the town a fair old walloping with the long nines, and the chain balls. You could even try to take out a few of the navy ships in the harbour. Once your bombardments done, or you've ran outta cannon balls, which ever comes first. Tell your men to row ashore.
The people of the town will be in the height of the confusion, many of 'em dead. So your men can just go along, kill the rest that remain standing, and grab any valuables that catch their eyes. Taking captives is a bad idea, especially women. After all it's bad luck to have a woman on board, plus they scream a lot.
There are certain points in the town you should aim for. Send your men to the prison to pick up the condemned pirates, they might turn out very good crew members, and can help with the whole pillaging, plundering, raiding process.
Another good place is the armoury - after all weapons always come in handy right? And Rich Households they contain lot's of gold, jewellery and money, all which can be bartered for food and supplies.
Once you have finished with the town, just hop back onto your ship and sail away, Robert's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt, and there you are sailing away Scot free. (who the hell is Scot?!) And so that is a very basic, introduction to pillaging and plundering.
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT TODAY: -
PEE IS THE KEY.
NOT MUCH REALLY.
Okay, next time I'm gonna tell you everything you need to know about weapons, including waging war with flags. Yes you heard me, you can battle rival ships with those pretty things you wave from the flag pole!! Anyway review and tell me if my guide has aided you in your calling on the road to piracy. . .
