I actually have it on good authority, that South America still has some notorious honest-to-goodness pirates. Although their main plunder is stealing fish on fishboats, from other fishermen, so that they can sell them on the fish markets. So they're even smellier now than before, if you can believe it.

You could buy a torpedo boat and get around South East Asia taking out gunships and the Russian mob.

I wonder what the life expectancy on a pirate ship was. Probably awful.

We could become the pirates of the Great Lakes. Rob US and Canadian freight boats. No one would suspect it.

The Great Lakes are full of smugglers, do a good enough job and you might become official privateers of the Royal Canadian Navy.

People talking about season 1 sucking when season 3 despite a great start with THE STORM and whatnot, has now sunk into its lull of island politics and Flint's crew spending 2+ episodes trapped in cages.

Iseeyouseemeseeyou posted:im sure this thread will have no trouble kickstarting a pirate ship Boat - $1500 (oars and/or sails sold separately) Gun - $500 (carriage, gunpowder, and ammunition must be made/supplied yourself?) Wood barrels and supplies would be another couple of hundred. Flags are available just about anywhere but I'm sure at least a couple of you already have one. Looks like only $3000-5000 in basic materials? Not getting swept out to sea and/or arrested seem like they still might be something of a challenge. The latter would take care of the former though. Oh, and avoid the Spanish; they still want that poo poo back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Swan_Project

I hope they get into some of the Outerbanks stuff. Blackbeard's homebase at the end was Ocracoke Island, and the island is famous for what is rumored the largest pirate party ever. It was hosted by Blackbeard, and both Vane and Rackham were in attendance. If you are in the states, and you have a real interest in pirates, OBX is an awesome place to visit (actually it is for many reasons).

Wait so the Spanish know about the British with Eleanor having stole some part of the Urca gold due to spies?

Pretty much, they know the marked gold has been cashed in for unmarked bills (pearls)

Binged the first two seasons and some of the latest episodes. Gotta say I love John Silver's story. Really well-written character. Good poo poo. And I think Blackbeard's tri-pistol coat is cooler than Flint's.

They know some gold was exchanged. So now he can't simply deliver the gold they did find, say "This was all that was there" and pocket the black pearls. Spain will be expecting him to recover the pearls too.

I really dig the attention to detail like that in this show.

I'm waiting for him to fight with lit fuses around his head. The guy certainly knew how to cut a terrifying image.

This episode owned. The the dying Spanish Soldier with Vane, Flint talking to the black queen, Flint and Silver rekindling their friendship, that woman telling Eleanor and the British dude about the Spanish discovering their shenanigans, etc.

Hooboy on the latest, 6th episode. Ohhh that Marmaduke/Blackbeard...he will never learn. Looks like I was spot on with Vane being his weakness. And I gotta say, I did not see Rackham going THAT far. Jesus cripes...why do I get the feeling the last few episodes of this season will even blow the end of the 2nd one out of the water?

The writing on this show can be at times so purple and melodramatic, I can't decide whether to love it or to roll my eyes, which means I usually do both. Like all this talk about Flint's terrible depths - it's like in bad fanfiction, everybody talks about how the Mary Sue is perfect and special, here they all talk about how somehow he's deep, terrible and profound. (And special.) I usually still love it, even when it's pirates in all seriousness discussing their legacy, but they could do to ease up on the Flint thing a bit.
