Pirates of PW

Menaces of the sea they have been called, robbing, pillaging, and causing trouble wherever they go. The pirates of persistant world differ from the pirates of ours. Their ships run off of crystals scavenged from the bottom of the sea, the power allows the complex system within the pirate ships to manuever and speed up the ships greatly. The pirates aren't entirely anarchist though they have a head of goverment. They call their goverment system "the code" based on an island far to the west. The code offers jobs, sells ships, and everything imbetween. The pirates use the code as...guidelines and sometimes totaly disregard it. The code sometimes causes civil wars within itself, not uncommon for pirates. Other than these things purates pretty much act like pirates.

this isn't a very good post sorry

Its all too well suggesting it, we need to work out a way to get people to do piracy.
On our island we need docks and then maybe a pirate island?

I love it! (:

well the head of goverment has an island I just dont know what to call it

Treasure island.
something wrong with that ?

How about a name like tortuga, something exotic.

I wish we could call it tortuga without everyone accusing it of copying pirates of the caribbean.

How about fyrestone spelled just like that

Yeh
Tortuga was a real pirate hideout though.

this calls for bunnay to post what she thinks so we can decide O.o haha

Pirates are a generic enough concept. And pirates would have some pretty ecclectic crews and ships. Some ships are sail power, other coal, others these crystals you mention. They would have ships ranging from Roman Galleys to Modern Battleships.

I disagree I want to try to stop everything from getting modern, we only adding steampunk touches

I'm pretty sure that we already decided there was going to be a modern section....

Hex said revision was eminint and that was going to be edited out

I think the most modern you're going to get is actually Cyberpunk which is futuristic, not modern.

Whats wrong with Modern tech.

@Bunnay: Then we're still not stopping at Steampunk level then...and how can we have future tech and Steam tech in the world but no modern tech. Obviously there was at one point or another....

We haven't actually posted and futuristic tech yet, it may not even happen.

I believe it was in that post in the Lore topic

Those were just examples though. We need to actually create the world.

There IS going to be Cyberbunk. I don't care what anyone says-- Futuristic settings are one of the most POPULAR and we will get way less interest with out it. I don't know about modern-- just because we have Cyberpunk doesn't mean we have to have modern just because it came first. This is our world, we (being everyone) can do what we want with it.

you dont have a say in whether it IS or ISNT you are not the deciding factor the vote will be given you can vote for it but you arent the supreme decider

Even if it is not established in PW. I certainly hope we won't stop a player from creating it.

If there isn't as many genre's as possible (including Cyberpunk and Futuristic) then you guys are making a mistake and PW will end up failing like so many people are predicting.

And now that I think about it, we shouldn't even BE having this discussion. Like Jelly said, we need to let the characters do what they want.

Well its 3 votes to one which makes a majority of Yes

Yes to what, exacly?

yes to pirates matey

I'm going to be a pirate, A drunk one.
