The Imperial Armada Needs You, Lad!

[vahkimetru]

Calling all lads and lassies, sail the high sees of adventure! This is basically a pirate version of the Tie Army, which can be found in the Community section, as most/all know.

Basically, you're an Imperial, and you are on my ship Eurobricker's Luck and we hit some adventure!

To join, you must complete the following form:

Name: Can be fake

Age: Can be fake

Choice of two weapons: (Cutlass, Pistol, Rifle, or instead of two small weapons, one cannon, anyone higher than a Fleet Commander can have a cannon and something else)

Horse Name and Color: Optional

Imperial Type: (Guard(Red), Soldier(Blue), Armada(Spanish Type)

Rank: This will begin as deck officer, and will progress

Ranks will be awarded for duties on board. Any off topicness, rudeness, spamming, etc. will result in banning from the game, or a demote in your rank(Not in the pirate Ranking System, but in the game).

Ranks are:

Deck Officer

Commanding Deck Officer

Commanding Gunner

Captain

Ship Owner

Fleet Commander

Fleet General

Admiral

Commanding Admiral

Governor

I am the commanding Admiral.

1. No speed acting. This means you can't just take out pirates in one turn. We're not playing at light speed are we?

2. No "supermen". You need to be a good sport and let your character get hurt or be put in danger sometimes.

3. You cannot be a pirate until I have a pirate leader. Any current Imperials cannot change their affiliation. PM me if you want o be the pirate leader.

4. MOC USAGE RULES:

You can use your MOCs in the RPG too, now! But first you must abide by these rules:

1. No MOCs that exceed the tech of the 18th century. No hyperdrives, tanks, giant waffles and what not.

2. Your MOC cannot have infinite weapons.

3. Post a picture of your MOC if you want it included.

Current Storyline:

A group of Imperials are attacking a pirate fort on St. Thomas in the Bahamas.

The overall story is:

King Lego X has sent us to whipe out pirate scum that is taking over the Bahamas and Carribean. He has given us quests to complete. When all are completed, he will add more.

Quests: (X means completed)

Take out St. Thomas Pirate Fort

Block all pirates from entering St. Thomas and erect Imperial fort

Track down Captain Jolly Jack

Defeat Jolly Jack

Steal Jack's fleet and force his men to become pirates

Attack Florida's St. Augistine to take the pirates out of the Imperial Armada stronghold

Oh great, another rip-off :-|

*yoda*

[Sir Dillon]

I'm not sure how well this will work. This is what the Great Historical Lego War was, and while it was good for a bit, it didn't turn out so well... :-/

[Mister Phes]

I wish you the best of luck with this thread Mr Vahkimetru! I tried something like this last year but things got rather out of hand and it was taking up too much of my time to maintain it so I had to quit.

I just recommend you make the rules very clear otherwise you'll have tanks and dragons enter your storyline which will throw this thread waaaaaay off topic. And we can't do that here because this is the Pirates forum!

But if you manage to pull it off you'd get promoted well should you register to The Pirate Ranking System!

[rhymer]

I wish to become a Pirate. Where do I sign up?

[Mister Phes]

I'm not sure how well this will work. This is what the Great Historical Lego War was, and while it was good for a bit, it didn't turn out so well... :-/

I agree hence why I pulled out of it and that's why I'm not going to participate in this one - I just don't have time at the moment. However, I'll still have to moderate the thread and since this is now in the LEGO Pirates Forum anyone who goes too far off the topic of Pirates of the Caribbean will have to be seriously harmed... Very seriously...

Basically, you're an Imperial, and you are on my ship Eurobricker's Luck and we hit some adventure!

Is this a game or something?

[Vader]

Geeeeezzzzz cant people come up with there own ideas these days???

What is it with all these Tie Army rip offs?? :-|

[vahkimetru]

Geez, its not like the Tie Army, just similar name! :-/

Ironhook-Yes, it's a game :-P

Phes-I've made the rules clearer, and a sign up form, and I did join the ranking system. :-)

Ryhmer-Of course! Just fill out the sign up sheet I just added.

Dillon-I'm not such an avid Lego fan, what's the Great Historical Lego War?

[Sir Dillon]

I don't think missing it has much to do with how much you like Lego, just that the thread pretty ended by the time you joined.

[vahkimetru]

Good lads! You're added to the directory of soldiers!

Now, Rhymer, get to the crow's nest. I think I see something to the west. By god it had best not be a pirate! Friday, get to the gunbay, Rhymer, come to me with your report and go to the gunbay too.

[rhymer]

PIRATES!!They are firing at us!!

[vahkimetru]

Good lad. Take 'em out, I'll try and redirect our course. Our closest island is the Dutch owned St. Martin. We could go further and come back to our fellow Brits in St. Thomas.

Friday, assist Rhymer. If you two take these guys out succesfully, we'll be seeing good things!

EDIT: YAY, hot topic!

[rhymer]

Theres only 4 I will take out two of them.

[vahkimetru]

Darn, we missed her by a long shot. What's that I see? You got one! Nice shot, they sure are weakened.

[rhymer]

Shall I take the other two out?

[vahkimetru]

Seeing as Friday fell seasick and resorted to his cabin, yes please do so.

[rhymer]

*takes out all the pirates*Now what?

[vahkimetru]

Aye, to St. Thomas!

You will be promoted to Commanding Deck Officer for your duties today.

[rhymer]

Thank you my captain.

[vahkimetru]

Yes, take to the crow's nest once more. Better safe than sorry. Oh, and feel free to join Friday and I in the saloon tonight.

[rhymer]

Theres no more pirates. *goes to saloon*

[vahkimetru]

Okay, I'm mooring us in St. Thomas. Tommorrow morning we will see if any of the townspeople wish to become Imperials.
