MODERATORS
Having watched the linked video and its other part ages ago and again more recently, my chief question is always the same. Who begins the process? Given that the captain is just a crew member hired like the rest, who is the one that begins the recruiting process? Without covering that, it almost feels like piracy is caused by random, persuasive ships floating into port. Have I just missed that info every single time?
Usually sea captains of commercial/state ships did the recruiting by usually being extremely abusive and exploitive. All the pirates have to do is get their treasure and let the crew kill their captain and some will want to join.
I'm learning the ukelele, does that count?
I mean I currently work part time at a scuba shop, so I guess I’m at least partially qualified.
Can I bring my pet parrot ?
You're hired!
Objectively better than my current job
oh hell yeah, I play upright bass
I'd cut off my leg to attach a peg for the opportunity to be a pirate over my current job
🎶 What will you do with a drunken sailor, what will you do with a drunken sailor? 🎶
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.
Is alcohol tolerance required?
No but you must drink anyway
It's expected you'll pick it up on the job!
One day when the toungin' is done, we'll take our leave and go.
I like tonguing, is the crew into that do you think? :p
I can’t play any of those instruments but I know how to make hard tack edible and can reef a sail.
I’ve also got a copy of Lobscouse and Spotted Dog for making authentic sailor meals
you forgot to mention the hurdy gurdy
Pillaging and killing people without much repercussions is maybe a good point.
