 The pirates finally got tired of pillaging, plundering and looting, and decided to partake in more civilised hobbies, letting life return to normal for the poor afflicted soldiers, civilians, islanders and sea monsters: a period of peace and prosperity has arrived! From taking tea with the Governor to bombarding their sweethearts with barrages of roses, this next chapter of the Pillage the Village saga explores the unchartered waters of peaceful pirates, impotent imperials, carefree civilians. Do they polish the cannons, or polish off the rum? Race their rowing boats, or repair the harbor? Chill out under a palm tree, or cut it down to build a shack? Explore foreign territories, or the local brothels? This doesn't have to be pirates - islander, armada, civilian and imperial MOCs are all welcome too. You can even show the hobbies of Mr Kraken, should you want... But brutality and violence are unwanted in this new (temporarily) civilised era: whilst one drunken pirate punching another is acceptable, a full scale brawl is a step too far. Take this as the benchmark for the upper level of brutality permitted. Hunting and fishing have a slightly higher level of violence permitted. Remember, judging is done by a public vote, so appeal to your audience! Need inspiration? Check out the MOC Indexes - in particular the Land-based MOCs - a wealth of ideas and techniques to explore.

Ha...Funny twist. Blackmoor can finally have that tea party he has always wanted to host and I can help Blue Hair fix that infernal scooter of his. Nice job guys. This should be lots of fun!
Maybe Joey Lock and Martin Super can finally get married, settle down and start a family

Nice reconversion of the theme !
Sounds original, and as we don't see so often Moc of this subject, it's quite challenging ! -------------------- If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got.   |

No violence!
 I have been building this super ship for a violent contest.... and now this! This definately will make me think. The non-violent aspect isn't so bad after all, it should bring about some very creative mocs. I think I may have an idea on how to use my ship.

I had some great ideas as well, I think we all have. But at least I have an even better idea now!
Bring it on laddies!
