Scuttlebutt? I love it!

Here's a flag in two sizes:

That's pretty cool .

How do you think it would look if the Skull & Crossbones CrossedSwords were the main body and the Central star of the Pirate symbol were sparkling out of each eye (maybe a little larger than those eyeholes)?

[Hercules]

Scuttlebutt is good.

But regardless, I also like Shipping News. Some of us pirates have a refined side and it is intended to understated. That's how pirates succeed by getting in close range.

The pirate skull and cross swords graphic is excellent. Can it be reduced a further 50% or to a size smaller but still identifiable. I wouldn't like to clog up the postings.

[FlameFlash]

Love the big version! The smaller versions seem to rob something from the spirit... or maybe the color...

[Hercules]

There is an other issue which could do with a bit of discussion and it is that raised by Cusp BB. As we plan to rotate the player who actually plays the turn, it is a good idea to have the pirate name in the game screen as something like Captain Hook.

I was thinking almost along the same lines but whoever we chose we would often make reference to this character (a pirate clan overlord?) but no one would actually meet him.

Like a pirate might report that Cap'N xxxxx had waited for two days at Margaritaville. We'd just missed him but he left these orders, instructions and requests.

Just a thought.

Anyhow let's have some name suggestions for our mysterious Captain.

Cusp BB has suggested Captain Hook

Here's one. Captain Skull

I did a search with "famous pirates" and got a lot of substantive hits with hardly any irrelevant stuff.

Good stuff

[FlameFlash]

You know... I hate the fact that we're not updated via email in this area...

I like the idea of Parrot Squaks personally...

[Atlantian]

The flag is nice.
Lets hold a vote in a new thread for the name of our news paper.

[Hercules]

Atlantian: Well do that. If you not familiar with how to do so. Experiment.

Make it a single vote initially to see how we fare. Tradition has it we give voters the option of abstain or xenbanana also., but with the ThePlagueRat's predisposition to bananas we might need to change that to Xenofruit (your choice)

[Hercules]

Experimenting with semiphore. Watch this space.

[Hercules]

Thankfully most of that awful binary stuff has stopped.

Anyway in RL my postponed 3 week trip to China is back on. I will be away from the 14th June until the 6th July.

I will of course be actively posting apart from between those dates.

This has less effect on this team game except for my Mod duties and that I can't be the next Cap'n Hook.
