YOU BE A PIRATE! ARRRR!
« on: March 30, 2011, 02:13:29 pm »

You wake up on a small island, all sand, with a single coconut tree. You don't seem to be able to remember much. You're guessing you're a pirate though, judging by your snazzy hat and brace of pistols.

See if you can remember your name, then decide what to do.

Name: "Bowsprit" MacAdams

Wonder why you were marooned with 2 pistols instead of the customary 1

Why, you are Bob Hope, French Englishman Pirate Extraordinaire.

Now, why don't you climb that tree and beat down all the coconuts?

Ah, yes, that's right. Your name is Bob Hope, the French Englishman Pirate Extraodinaire.

As you climb up the tree to beat down some coconuts, you wonder to yourself why you're on an island by yourself. At first, you question the possibility of being marooned, but you have two pistols, rather than the customary one.

As you reach the top of the tree, and prepare to lay the smack down on some coconuts, you see a ship, half sunken and beached on a rock, filled with holes by cannon fire (probably the dutch East India company. Jerks.), and definitely abandoned.

Damn. You're pretty sure that was your boat.

Where's the rest of the crew? And the Zodiac? And my AK? The last thing we remember was us leaving the Somali coast to try to take over that freighter. Then someone saw the USS Bainbridge on the horizon. What the hell is going on?

Knock down some coconuts, then wade out towards wreck. It should be pretty shallow, as we seem to be stranded on a sandbar.

Damn Dutch men, it has not been the same around here since they started coming in force! Why not leave a innocent man to him pillaging? They have been much too uppity since they got their charter two years ago!

Hum… I should try to find a larger tree to climb, maybe I can see the Indian coast form here!

Your at least 200 years too early.

There's only the tree you're on, at least, that you can see from here.

You savagely subdue several coconuts, knocking them to the base of the tree, then climb down, and wade out into the water. The water is a crystal blue, and very shallow for the first twenty feet or so. Then, it suddenly starts to deepen. With the prismatic effect of the water, you can't really tell how deep it is. You see several small fish, but nothing big enough to warrant eating. There may be bigger fish farther out, but you can't be sure.

Also, you're rubbish at judging distances, but the boat appears to be anywhere between 300 and 500 feet away. Now what?

You wander back to the island, and attempt to punch the tree into wood blocks.

...Your hand hurts now.

(I was thinking golden age of piracy, which if I remember correctly was around the 1770s?)

Use the coconuts as a flotation device and swim to the boat and secure it's innards!
