Sailing Ships

[Finnerator Rudderbow]

Here's some important information and rules regarding the ships. The pictures are to give you an approximate idea of what they look like.

A ship can be roleplayed in only one thread at a time. Usually, I don't tell people that they can only be in one place, but for this I think it's reasonable to say that it would get extremely confusing if there were three Stormy Otter's sailing the high seas.

To take a ship out, you must ask me first. Then I will change the ship status to "at sea" or something to that effect. A captain will be assigned or will volunteer and then the roleplay is set to go.

Quests are excluded from this because they generally operate separately from the rest of the going's-on at the fort. Any comments/questions/criticisms can be posted here or pmed to me.

It has 32 broadside guns. Two decks, eight per deck, two sides.

Um a question, what sort of ships are they? How many masts? How many decks? How many cabins, how many oars?

[Finnerator Rudderbow]

Thanks Linx. I put up some pics to help with visualizing them. I'll have to do more research on ships before I can answer the rest of your questions.

[Azrah]

Okay, thanks, I don't need all of that, just to role-play it's nice to now haow big the ship is.

[Linx Exotic]

Well, two are sloops and one's a schooner. You get a rough idea of size just from that.

[Azrah]

K, thanks.

Linx, Aldar and I are taking the THunderfish out, and the Stormy Otter is in the Quest, so it is gone.
