Piracy

On the surface of it, piracy would seem to be a bad thing. However, I think under certain circumstances, it should be permissible.

If you can meet the following checklist, I believe you should be able to engage in a life of piracy:

Eyepatch
Cutlass
Suave English Accent (Atrocious French Accent also acceptable)
Fluyt or race-built Galleon
Suitable supply of international scallywags
Chest of gold doubloons (aboard ship or hidden on some sandy island - either is acceptable)
Supply of iron manacles for restraining male prisoners
Supply of silk dresses for offering to female prisoners, for their comfort

If someone can meet all of these requirements, I have no problem with them engaging in a life of piracy. As for the rest of those "pirates"...have at them, I say!!
