This will show you what people of the pirate time period actually wore. As stated in the site above, the costumes in POTC are not all that accurate. This site tells you what WAS accurate for the time you want your rp in, but if you want it to be more loose and fantasy like that don't worry (I know I wont...).
2004-01-25 [Caomh]: Starboard Side!!! Starboard Side!!!!! is that the right side? or the left? or what??
2004-01-25 [Caomh]: oh wait, wait.... never mind. it's the right side when facing foreward... ignore my last comment....
2004-01-25 [M!]: It seems that what I have done has been done before... but yet have I found another wiki page with more info then this one. So I am happy.
2004-01-25 [M!]: And I am getting the feeling of some hostility from other pirate info pages.... thing is, I just wanted to help. And I am. And I have been finding a crap load of info. Maybe other people have done it as well, so good for them. I'm sure they have stuff I don't have and I have stuff they don't have No reason to compete for the BEST PIRATE INFO page... cause... there is no point to it what so ever. So.... if you have a pirate pages, that's all well and good.... but... don't feel like you are the ony one with a right to share info on this topic cause anyone can... so.... get over it.
2004-01-25 [iippo]: hmmm, mainly because i'm bored, i'll answer to this on my behalf: when i did my terms page, no other terms-page was accessable, or at least i wasn't aware of one, so i searched the web, found schooner-vocab
2004-01-25 [M!]: I wasn't refering to you! No worries.
2004-01-27 [iippo]: ye... but i was bored. and felt like saying something....
2004-01-27 [M!]: heh.
2004-01-28 [iippo]: ^^
2004-01-31 [Nere]: i just want to know the specific positions on board...ie, what does the First Mate do?......and theres no mention above of the QuarterMaster.......grrrrrr
2004-01-31 [Nere]: Pirate Songs....
2004-02-01 [iippo]: how bout we'd make a big pirate mother-page that'd have my page, this, the Pirate Songs and the links in here wikified (coz i know i don't want new windows to pop up, so i don't like pressing links) and pirate rpgs listed too?
2004-02-01 [M!]: I actually was thinking about that... WONDERFUL! YES! Lets do it! oh.. and what did you edit Iippo, by the way?
2004-02-01 [Flavius Naor]: YAY! I LOVE Pirates!
2004-02-04 [iippo]: you had the link to terms as the link to terms from your house, so i replaced that as the wiki link. if you copy the link to a wikipage from the bar up there, then it links as the wikipage seen through your house.... it's a weird ET-thing.
2004-02-04 [M!]: ah. Ok
2004-02-06 [iippo]: soo... bout that mother page... do you wanna create it or me? o.O
2004-02-06 [M!]: you can. I'm a bit busy, and I trust you. Should we keep my pretty banner?
2004-02-07 [M!]: sure
