No, he's only been kissing up to me in the form of hard work. Look where hard work got him...

Most excellent! How's things been progressing?

It's all in the name of presentation lad. I think they look more visually interesting this way. Someone should make a slideshow out of them, add some music and upload it YouTube. That seems to be a popular trend these days.

Ahhhhhh... The old fashioned way. I've actually vectorised that Jolly Roger in Illustrator so it can be scaled to any size without distorting. I'll make it available publicly one day.

Well that certainly is a limitation but you've done well to get this far! How come the computer logs itself out automatically after 10 minutes though? That seems a bit unreasonable, is this intentional or have the library computers got bugs?

Congratulations Erdbeereis! This is a historic event! Be sure to share pictures of the MOCs you create as we'd love to see them.

You could do Jasc? What's that mean?

Do you think it may be beneficial to create a Vignette Index?

I think these M1 rifles look a bit too modern for the Pirate theme. I'm sooooooo old fashioned

Surely that's not meant to be me! What's "Nosh" anyway?

There's nothing like a bloodthirsty scene to entertain the minds of the populace

Once again we see rigorously rigged Captain Green Hair vessel! It's quite a stunning vessel but I can't help but think it looks too "tall" for it's length and appears it needs another hull piece to space the masts out a bit more.

Well we've had similar threads but this thread has merit and a more relevant title might help. Ok, we'll go with Mr Tiber's suggestion and see what that does.

They're BMPs and should really be converted to JPGs so they can be posted straight into the forum. Grakul I recommend you read the Batch Image Resize Tutorial and learn how to convert your images to JPGs so you can post them straight into the thread. Phred has kindly done it for you this time, but in the future please learn to do it yourself. Threads with pictures get more attention than those with no pictures.

The prize images have mysteriously been upgraded... I wonder who did that?

The last time we attempted an RPG in the Pirate Forum it went terribly out of hand and as a result it was cancelled. So if you're planning to start another one you better have well defined rules and be dedicated to enforcing them.

Well that's the difference between "messin" and "kiddin"

Yes, I did scan the book and hosted it on my old server. I didn't renew the hosting account so bye bye went the images and thus the thread was removed from the forum. The scans weren't great anyway, so when I have the time I'm going to create all new scans using a technique with my 10 megapixel camera. Unfortunately I can't an estimate how far into the future this will be.

If you're planning to start an Islanders collection then King Kahuka's Throne is a marvelous choice! Even though it's a small set it comes with 4 mini-figures which is quite generous.

This would probably make a really useful official LEGO piece - is there not already anything like it?

Yes, there are hand movements, I was just messin with ya Yes, there are hand movements but they are random. I've uploaded the video to YouTube so everyone can get some idea of what we've done so far. to view it. administrator@classic-pirates.com As soon as the URL is spoken it appears as subtitles on screen to reaffirm what it is, so just "Classic Pirates dot com" will do fine.

Well this does look exciting! I'll be sure to have a more thorough look after some sleep.

You have some quite interesting ships Captain Cavinano! Is this a paper custom sail I see?

We weren't? Oops! Here, have this picture to make up for it:
