				OKAY BUSINESS TIME. *cracks knuckles* <br><br>We've apparently lost the main 'backbone' of the female ship - there's four people left on it (maybe) and two of them are prisoners. <br><br>We're looking at maybe merging the ships together at this point, and just having everyone be on the Dirty Secret. This isn't to say that perhaps later on the females of the group couldn't break off and recruit more crew and start a female ship. <br><br>There is only one redundant job, and it's carpenter - if either of the carpenters are willing to take on a different job (Master Gunner is totally open - I can withdraw my second character) they can do that, or we can come up with some other way of resolving the redundancy (perhaps by having one or both of them take on a second job, and just coincidentally being carpenters as well). <br><br>If anyone is opposed to this, or has any other ideas, let me know. <br><br>Secondly: Madmartigan, I love your ideas, and I'd love to incorporate them into something. In fact, we have a treasure-based plotline that is going to swing into action soonish, but I still like your ideas and will see what we can work into the game. Hopefully it goes long enough to get several stories going.

				Seems like a fine idea. It might be interesting later down the line, if we get more players, for a rift to form in the crew... And then for them to slip and then separate into different ships; create some lovely conflict between characters an such.<br><br>Also do you think maybe we should keep a track of where the characters are in the first post of this? Just so that at a glance people can easily see?

				Sort of, but only when you consider that Chris and Govad are kind of tied for the title of 'in charge' ;) He doesn't actually have a lot of sway in what goes on in the ship, he's just an enforcer, but he's higher ranked than most of the crew.

				Idea: so since we're all members of one ship now, would anyone like to work out establishing how characters might know each other? It might make things a bit easier for RP, too, since there's a pre-established relationship there to build off.

				Lucas of course doesn't know anyone since he's just coming into the story.<br><br>Clive has been a long-standing member of the crew also, but he's like the ship's shadow. Doesn't talk much and no one tends to come see him, the only person he really knows is Govard. Still, he's a constant presence I feel that the other crewmembers would trust (as much as possible) since despite his odd habits, he's always faithful to the mast.

				Du'an is probably know for being odd. He's a 'touch' flamboyant but also like a feral cat, you're not gonna touch him unless HE wants you to, otherwise you're getting your eyes clawed out. People probably don't take him seriously in his vocation UNTIL they do something that warrants discipline, then they find out how scary he can be. They probably also notice that he's very protective of his little brother. And kind of possessive of him as well.

				Arouj thinks everyone else is a godless heathen, therefore... a) they can never be trusted, b) it's okay to kill them, and c) it's okay to keep the pretty ones as slaves. He also wishes he was back in Tangiers with all the pretty ones so he could make lots of money.<br><br>He's been bumming around English merchant (and possibly military) vessels for the past five-ish years. England currently has a peace treaty going with Tangiers so he tries not to kill the English heathens, when he can tell the difference. Although honestly they still can't be trusted because they're godless heathens.<br>

				I'd say that was a pretty accurate summary of how a man like Arouj would think.&nbsp; Perhaps Mary should make clear that she is technically an English heathen.

				Sani mostly keeps to himself, though he's tempted on occasion, he doesn't bother entertaining the idea of taking anyone on the crew, especially other people's pets, not worth getting in trouble. He's largely given up on John because he doesn't make that much trouble anyway. I imagine he's friendly enough if anyone wants to talk to him. He's also inclined to help out on the ship when needed, and he doesn't duck out on fighting when it needs to be done. I imagine when he does take slaves, he keeps them tied up and out of the way, and unlike John I imagine they actually stay tied up and out of the way.

				Sorry to post again but I was wondering if it would be an idea to make different threads for the port and possibly the ship(s)? 'The Blue Iguana', 'The Streets'... 'Deck', and various crew's quarters?<br><br>Not sure if we'd have enough space for all, but maybe some?

				We do have room for some other threads, so I may be splitting them off into several threads soonish. :) The main town thread right now might become The Blue Iguana (since that's where most of the people in there are) and since Christoph and Lucas have only been using the captain's cabin, the main ship thread might become that. <br><br>The ship doesn't have individual quarters, but we can still split it up.

				Since, as far as I could tell, no one was hanging out 'outside' of the Inn in the old port diablo thread, I changed it to be specific to the Blue Iguana, since that's where everyone is hanging out. Should I spend a thread on Port Diablo in general just yet, or are we fine without one? <br><br>I may delete and reclaim the Siren's Call for now, also. There's been talk of a band of female pirates swooping in, but they don't have a ship yet - they're trying to collect crew and resources first. <br><br>There was also talk of making separate threads for different parts of the ship - while I think that's a great idea, I'm not quite sure where to begin and where to draw the lines. By decks, perhaps? The upper deck, lower decks, so on?

				I just don't want to use up so many threads on one 'place', but then again, it does get really confusing if people are all in the same thread, but in different places (I saw how that goes firsthand with the X-men game back when).

				True, but when the female pirates come in it'll get pretty crowded, and since they maybe wouldn't had a ship right away a general port thread might be useful...?
