KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Very well, such a design is acceptable. Excellent! The crew will depart as soon as the weaponry is installed. This will be the perfect chance to test out our new King Cobra weapon system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael McBride Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Captain Mosey and the Pirates (as the crew is being called within the Federation) shakes his head at all the modern weapons being placed onto the ships. "Modrn' gatlin' guns arrrrrn't gonna do much versus a oak hulled ship." He says, looking over his weapons stash. "Hav' fun shootin' at us as we sail away and yer guns don make a dent." Soon after this, Captain Mosey submitted his weapon's list. 50 fire cannons (cannons that shoot flaming cannon balls in an attempt to light the other ships on fire), 5 bow, 5 astern, 20 on each flank5 RPGs and ammo to reload them 10 flamethrowers 20 women's breasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 We have finished installing our King Cobra weapons systems. The 2 units were finished in the wee hours of the morning, and added on to the Forecastle and the main deck. The crew has stocked up on the pirate necessaties: Rum, Salted beef (we can't use pork, seeing as the crew are jewish and muslim), Limes (To prevent scurvy), and in the crews words, "A butt load of ammo." The ship was intented to sail to the event, but in the intrest of time, it will be towed by 2 tugboats so that it isn't late for the start of the race. Our new King Cobra weaponry: Specs: Weapons: 2x6 barreled 30mm gattling guns 8xSAM or SSM Tubes Rate of Fire: Guns: 10,000 rpm (Both guns) Missiles: 12 per minute Effective Range: Guns: 4,000 Meters Missiles: 10,000 Meters Reload Time: Guns: Varies, usually 2-5 minutes Missiles: Varies, usually 3 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also becoming rapidly apparent that this "race" might be over before it is a day old. After these idiots vaporise each other, perhaps Naboo will hold a second race with weapons limited to something sensible. :P/OOC IC: After causing their Rebel Virgina gaurds considerable trouble, the crew of the Ile de Noir entry got down to the serious matter of naming their ship. After a short but somewhat violent debate, the crew decided on(Insert vulgar reference to the Queen's private parts), which narrowly won over 'The Love Boat'. When told of the crew's rather unusual choice of names Queen Mirreile was heard to mutter,"I hope they all burn... " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRCatD Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 A simulation of a galleon race was done in Wanatet, with 75 crews each manning an identical virtual galleon. The top 7 crews were chosen from the top 7 places in the simulation race. They were narrowed down to 3 crews based on the amount of shares they would each vouch to purchase. After narrowing it down to 3 crews, each crew had sponsors that donated to the Corporation. The crew with the sponsor that donated the most was chosen to represent the Wanatet Corporation in this galleon race. They are en route to Norfolk to man the Destination. They were not disappointed for the amount they donated, since the Destination had almost all the enjoyments of a cruise ship, with 24hour unmanned service and 24hour music playing, without taking away the enjoyments of being pirates.

KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) The crew of the Minneapolis Speed wish to know when the race will commence. They are all dressed up for the occassion. Captain Sumbhaji Angre, named for his great great great grandfather, a famous privateer from Marscury's early history, eager for the race, waits in his quarters.

Shan Revan Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) OOC: Alright, meds seem to be having abit of an effect, enough to motivate me to start this baby It was a perfect day for sailing, relative calm waters glistening in the sun and a good wind driving them ever eastward, just what they needed. Norfolk harbour was quite a spectacle with thousands of people flocked along the coastline watching the 19 large, proud galleons. Many more had taken to the water, filling the harbour and the bay outside it with private yachts and small watercraft. They sat peacefully in the water in a great line, waiting for the signal. A great cannon overlooking the ships had been constructed specifically for this task. As it neared 10, the designated start time, the barrel was stuffed with gunpowder and a great ball of iron was lifted into the chamber. As the clock ticked down, the crowd counted the seconds with it. Then just on time the cannon roared to life, the rumbling boom drowning out the crowd's excited chants for a second. The ships were off, well, they started putting their sails up, and then they were off. Most of them anyway, it seems the cannonball had struck the rigging of the DES Holy Handgrenade, preventing them from starting with the others. As the vessels entered Chesapeake Bay, the ship scrambled to avoid the many small personal craft on the bay. Unfortunately, rockport's hightech entry ran over a small vessel, damaging the hull forcing it to stop and make repairs. Once they all got to sea however it was relatively clear sailing for the next three days Currently the RVS Guppy has taken the lead with its incredible speed, the Pequod in a close second with Captain Ahab proving very tenacious. Mirrielle's Left Breast, the oddly named prisoner vessel, clearly motivated by their desire for freedom has managed to reach third place.

So the cannon hitting him is just an explanation of the 6km in 3days. Edited January 18, 2009 by Shan Revan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shan Revan Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) OOC: I've worked out how attacks will work, but I haven't finished writing them into the program. So they might be available after next turn. Roughly put For the attacker I roll the dice 3 times, I take the highest value rolled, I then roll the dice two times and take the highest value for the defender, I compare the two and the difference and add one and that becomes the penalty applied. So if the attacker rolls a 3 a 2 and a 6, and the defender a 2 and a 3 6>5 penalty = 6-5+1 (In cases where the defender wins I reverse the order so it stays positive) This is applied like this. (Progress for the turn)/penalty so if the defender was going to make 100, the attack would then be applied like this 100/(6-5+1)=50 And the loser of the battle was slowed down to half of its speed due to the damage. Ships will also be given hitpoints (like 10 or something, haven't decided the specific number), the penalty number is subtracted from the hitpoints, once it reaches 0 the ship is sunk. ---- Once I get this implemented, you will need to request between turns that you want to attack and who you want to attack for the next round. Attacks can only be performed on ships within 100km of you. Edited January 18, 2009 by Shan Revan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Terra Di Agea Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 OOC: Not trying to break rules, just need to do a quick thing with my ship, and ,more importantly, my crew IC: A small, but quick speed boat pulled along side the ship from Espiral de Morte, making sure not to damage the delicate wooden hull. The eight men on board the speed boat fired speer guns up onto the deck, and climbed up with the greatest haste they could muster. The last one to climb aboard was by far the strangest. He wore an expensive, dark suit, and clean leather shoes, much more fit for an expensive gala than the deck of a wooden galleon. He wore dark, leather gloves over his hands, and to top it all off, a paper bag over his head and face. They man, presumably the captain, made the other men, dressed in suits with black masks over their entire heads look normal. They slowly walked the boat, throwing the old crew overboard, and placing cannons and harpoon guns on the deck. The captain walked up the the wheel and yelled out, "Get those guns mounted, and throw the tarps over. We have a race to win!" OOC: Espiral de Morte won't be around much longer, so I might as well put a small start to future RP in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
