Arr! Mebbe you scrappy landlubbers could start talkn' about what we be tryin' t' do here, instead a' fightin' amongst yerselves, ye pack of pox-infested swine!

I be a' thinkin' fer instance, that even though th' cap'n (or somebody) sez tha we won't learn th' alignment o' the scurvy dog we force to walk the plank each day, there's one man among us who be th' exception to that rule, if yer catch my drift.

Now, on t' more pressin' matters. Why is the rum gone?

Mac, I be willin' an' able t' translate fer ye, ef y' like. Here be a sample o' me work:

Quote:

Ihr Landratten und Pfeffersäcke! Der Käpt'n is' tot un' was muss ich hier seh'n? 'N Hauf'n Möchtegern-Piraten die sich komische Worte um die Ohren hau'n. Wenn der alte Störtebeker noch am Leben wär, der würd' euch hier ma' zeigen wo's lang geht!

Was'n los? Was schaut ihr mich alle so an? Arrr, ok...

Ye landlubber n' peppersacks (?)! Yer cap'n be dead n' what do I see here? I'm a mutineer I'm a mutineer I'm a mutineer that be confusin' yer ears w' me stranga words! When th' old cap'n were still alive, he (she) would show ye that I'm a mutineer! String me up!

Wha' be this? Why be ye lookin' at me like that? Arr, ok... (I'm a mutineer)

Mithalwen · 06-14-2009, 11:21 AM

My mind is being gnawed by the cankering tooth of mystery. There is much to do today for a piratical maid-of-all -work in the galley so I do not have longto decipher the ramblings of my crewmates. few though they have been thus far. I shall see what may be done ere I go - or it will be nowt but ships' biscuit for supper...

Kath · 06-14-2009, 11:30 AM

Just have to say, I'm quite proud I understood three quarters of what Mac said! Even with Rikae's 'translation'.

I'd say I'm here and reading but, well, what is there to read? I'm kinda hoping all this fun pirate talk doesn't mean that's all we get on Day 1. Ooh get me, don't I sound like Nog! *shoots self*

Anyway, basically, I'm around.

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-14-2009, 12:12 PM

Arrr, avast, ye layabouts! It'll be gruel fer the lot o' ye if'n ye don't find the scurvy curs what did this ter Cap'n Brinn!

Inziladun · 06-14-2009, 12:24 PM

Looks like much o' th' crew still be hidin' in their beds. T'will be a bad business if we don't get one o' the dogs today.
Yar, I be thinkin' thar not be much t' go on right now. Guessin's not th' best way t' go, but could be all we c'n do if things dun't change.
