The Scurvy Crew Of the Hell Born Strumpet

I am Captain Dan and have the honour to be the Ships Surgeon of the Hell Born Strumpet. Despite what ye think of us, we are honourable. We wish to make the Island that yeselves and the Cult fight over a wildlife preserve for everyone, but especially Pirates. We hope that ye will not hurt a member of our crew while we are there. We are the largest group in Shartak, and our Captain dosn't normanly respond well to threats and attacks. Thanks and reply as soon as possible. Captain Dan

The senate is currently debating our position on this matter, and will reply as soon as a consensus has been reached. Less Than Lethal 21:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I doupt warfare would benefit either side. We've rejected raids on outsiders unless provocked and have turned our attentions elsewhere. I be not the Captain, so I doupt I can control the crew unless the Captain steps in(Which I doupt. He is far to busy, thus why I handle these things out of my own initive.) Don't start war on us, for your sakes as much as ours. Her Majesty can keep the isle, as long as She grants hunting rights to everyone(especialy pirates.) I await ye answer... Captain Dan

Maybe I thrased that statement wrong. We do not want the Island, we want hunting rights for it. How does that sound? Captain Dan

Here's a first draft of the local laws for the island, violation of which will be punishable by death and exile:

+ any civilian allowed onto the Island, so long as they dont go on some sort of mad tree-felling ramage like that G3N fellow does

+ no person or group other than the RE to claim control or sovreignity over the isle, unless they want a war

+ no person or group to attack RE members or civilians, unless they want a war

+ no consumption of alcohol on the isle

+ no littering

+ no using the island as a base for pirate raids

+ no renaming the island, dammit

These aren't yet finalised, but let us know what you think. -- Less Than Lethal 21:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

No way in all of Shartak ill we stop drinking! I'm not one for rum, but the others, well... They seem in order. Gandhi killed me on my first visit to the isle. I would like to know why. Here are our rules:

+ kill any of us and blood will fly~(self defense is ok, but the offender will not recieve punisment from us if you kill them.)

+You pronounce that the isle is a hunting preservation for the peoples of Shartak.

+WE CAN DRINK RUM!!!!

Other then that, fine! Please contact my Captain( Tyler Whitney) with the final draft. I can not stop the Crew from killin yet. To make sure of this, you have to contact the Captain. I can't get hold of him recently. Captain Dan

As to the reason I killed you: when you arrived on the Isle you destroyed the sign at the no violence zone, a symbolic gesture I did not take lightly. In regards to your new rules:

• The Royal Expedition wishes the Western Isle to be free to all citizens of Shartak; therefore, designating the Island as a hunting preserve would discourage access to it and promote unhealthy aggression.
• The first-strike clause I find perfectly acceptable
• We all enjoy a little fine wine in the evenings; however, drinking to excess is entirely of another matter.

In its revised form, out rules stand as:

+ All civilians shall be allowed onto the Island, except those who engage in deforestation and environmentally destructive activities.

+ No person or group other than the RE shall claim control or sovereignty over the Isle, unless they want a war

+ No person or group to attack RE members or civilians, unless they want a war (This clause has been amended to include members of the Scurvy Crew and other groups)

+ No consumption of alcohol to excess on the Isle

+ No using the island as a base for pirate raids

+ No renaming the island (this includes "New Tortuga") Gandhi 13:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Neither me, you or the Captain can stop them from drinking. I myself perfere a mix of mango and leman juices(keeps me alert.) New Tortuga was the name of our operation and the island shall be known to the masses as "Shark Island", but too us as Tortuga. I have tried to convince the crew that we should not fight, but... This is not a threat, don't think of it as that. Consider this a discouragment to war: We outnumber. We are stronger. We would win. And, if the Captain orders, these negotiations will have been for nothing. If he wants the isle, I will me at the front of the charge. But hopefully it won't come to that. As I said, try to contact the Captain. And by the way, I meant no personally offense to your group by the destruction of the sign. Mere sword practice. Captain Dan

• Your threats do not amuse us "Captain". You're only level 21 and yet you're still the 2nd in command so I hardly see how you're pirate crew can be "stronger" then us. As for the outnumbering part, if you cannot control your crew then what guarantees are there that they'll even show up at the right island? These two factors combined lead me to believe that you wouldn't win any engagement with the RE. We don't want to fight you and you don't want to fight us. Go raid native villages instead. There's nothing for you to do on the island anyways. No hidden treasure, no hidden booze, no hidden weapons, and no magical animals to hunt. I repeat that the island is open to all. I don't quite understand what it is that you pirates want but I think you're just itching for an excuse to fight. If that be so then take your fight elsewhere because we're not interested in war. --One of many doctors 21:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

draft of an NPOV entry for the islet/island

I have attempted to draft what I hope is a relatively neutral-point-of-view entry for the wiki that links to both the Shark Island and La Islet Bonobo pages. I have tried to keep it relatively sparse and to link to the more detailled pages, rather than trying to encompass everything on one page (and inevitably leading to both groups feeling disatisfied that their position has been unfairly represented). I would appreciate your criticism and/or editiorial modifications.Anothertwilight 02:42, 5 May 2006 (BST)

Notice

Evidence of DCC member killing "peaceful" RE member Morgan Freelance! The DCC must be stopped!:Evidence

The despicable (although peculiarly honourable) members of the DCC have offered 'Terms of Engagement';
That given that the conflict revolves around ownership of Shark Island (called by some La Islet Bonobo) that any violence remain restricted only to said island.
The Royal Expedition recognises the wisdom of not embroiling the innocent in war and so affirm the Terms and agree to be bound by them.
