I really love the balcony use as well!! However, I'm wondering if we should use a different background if we're going to be sky pirates. I was thinking higher up and maybe with clouds.

Nephy, I am loving your idea so far! Very steampunk looking and unique.

I'm going to fiddle with some ideas.

I am wondering, in the description it says futurisitc or ancient. It seems like it's just one or the other. Do you think our sky pirates would work?

Perhaps to make it ancient we need to make it more like ancient merkethi sky pirates?

If we're going to be sky pirates then we need to have a task, right? What about star catchers? It sort of reminds me of Stardust the movie, where the sky pirates hunt lightning!

I believe that's what we're trying for

Open to ideas if that's not what others are feeling. We can always try some avi ideas and run them by each other and decide together.

I don't believe we've decided on anything. Hard to get us all in here at the same time.

I'm all for working on some ideas and then we can all pick something together. BSW and Neph have made something each. I'm working out an idea, too

I could be captain. I'm not sure what all positions there are on a ship okay, I looked it up and here is a list of rolls on a ship. Would anyone like to pick one? We can also use the item that is the inside of the ship. That would have various roll uses.

Do you guys have any ideas for where we could be going and our ship name? I think it would be good to have a roll of what we do. Up to suggestions besides star catchers :) It says on the rules extra points for matching uniforms, but I kind of think that's boring. It takes away from the creative liberties of each individual. We should certainly have the same colors and theme, but I don't think the same items is necessary.

Are you guys okay with the merkethi sky pirates? If you aren't feeling it, it is still early enough in the event to change. I just suggested merkethi due to the rules saying futuristic or ancient

---------- Post added 08-21-2017 at 05:51 AM ----------

I copied the image addresss of all our avis into the second post, so we should be able to look there to see how all our avis are coming along. It'll be good to see how they look together, as well.

---------- Post added 08-21-2017 at 05:57 AM ----------

Hmm. I guess that doesn't work for seeing our current avis? Do you guys know how to do that?

Could I be the Quartermaster?

Quote:
The Quartermaster, depending on the circumstances and the pirare ship was the second in command. His main purpose was to distribute things. He distributed, rations, powder, work, prize, and punishment.

Pirate didn't trust authority and therefore saw no reason to let all the power of a ship rest on one man. Therefore they split the power between, the Captain, who led the ship in battle, and navigated the ship, and the Quartermaster, who usually led the way on any boarding party, and kept custody of all prize or booty. The Quartermaster also determined what prize was worth taking.

As expected all gold, silver, or coin was taken, but beyond that, it was the quartermaster who decided what else was worth taking. He made his decisions based on time on how much room the ship had. If the ship was already cramped, spices and exotic materials may be burned rather that stolen.

The quartermaster would also watch over the treasure until it was divided among the crew. It was also the quartermaster who did the dividing, with the crew's supervision. There was rarely a dispute about how the loot was divided, however.

The quartermaster was also the only man who could dole out punishment. Even then, any many instances the crew would take a vote first. The captain could order punishment but only the quartermaster could administer it, which made it the will of at least two before any punishment was given.

The quartermaster also settled individual quarrels and if need be, acted as a witness to any duels, to insure that duels were fair and just. Finally, on some ships, except when in battle the quartermaster might actually hold a position above the captain, especially in matters of punishment and rations.

Despite all the activitiy of the quartermaster, Pirate captains would still pick their other officers such as first and second mate, often creating a complex chain of command on a pirate ship.

Of course this was not always the case. In many cases, a pirate captain was the ultimate law and there was no quatermaster or the quartermaster and captain worked as if captain and firstmate. Much of the discussion of quatermasters is found in the General History of Pirates and it would be foolish to think all pirate crews had a division of power as it described in that book.

That sounds awesome! Quartermaster, it is! :)

---------- Post added 08-21-2017 at 07:12 AM ----------

In the third post I am compiling some background ideas, to see how they all look together. If you guys like them, we could decide who should go where or we can tweak them as well. I was thinking for in the cabin that the left could be the navigator and the right could be the quartermaster. However, I also like the navigator on the deck.

Well it could make sense for my character to be below deck. Quartermasters are in charge of the treasure and rations and whatnot.

---------- Post added 08-21-2017 at 03:03 PM ----------

And also, I have a suggestion for Neph. Do you think the navigator should use a telescope?

I was wondering if we should alter our tasks at all considering that we are in the sky? A navigator for the sea and for the sky would be a little different, right? But I'm wondering what would be a good way to express that

Yay! Someone is on!
Yes, you can be second mate! I posted a list of what jobs are on a ship, but I will put it on the front page so that they are easier to find.

How do you feel about the backgrounds in post 3? We can of course work on it all together, but I'm thinking we should make sure we all go along with each other and aren't using the same items over again.

for the quartermaster, i really think they should be on the inside one with the treasure. i really like that one and i feel that fits. should we have a cook?

I agree! I was trying to think of places on the ship that our roles would belong. And I loved the idea of the images going together like two people are inside! I was thinking maybe the quartermaster on the right and navigator on the left. I wonder, though, if the navigator would be better on the deck, and perhaps the captain in the hold? A cook would be good, too

I'm not sure which position that Roachi: wants. Roach, if you look at the second post I shared a link to a page of ship positions if you want to go through and pick one. The 3rd post has some background ideas so that we all look like we belong together, too.

Oh, you don't have to. We don't require a chef. It's honestly up to what you want to make the most. You're welcome to try some roles and pick what you prefer. What we've talked about so far isn't concrete. Have fun with it! :D
