Images

Ahoy Tyler. According to the wiki, these files you have uploaded are not used anywhere: Image:Pirate_Captain.jpg, Image:Pyle_wealthypirate.jpg, Image:Robrt.gif, Image:4Pirate.jpg. If you have no further use for them, please let us know by marking them for deletion. --Lint 22:19, 29 May 2006 (BST)

Add Image:Many Pirates.jpg to the list. I have found Image:4Pirate.jpg elsewhere on the internet (see [1]), and Image:Pyle wealthypirate.jpg is a work of Howard Pyle (who died more than 70 years ago, so the image is in the public domain in most countries). Tyler, would you mind letting us know why you uploaded these images? I don't think the wiki should be an indiscriminate collection of images relating to pirates, natives, jungles, monkeys, rifles, machetes, berries, and so on, so any images we keep need to be useful. Also, where did you find the images? We need to make sure we're not infringing on copyrights. Thanks! — Elembis (talk) 05:59, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Conflict with the Royal Expedition

It is unfortunate that you have been away so long, because you have a missed a series of both timely and important events that led to this conflict.

First of all, your attempt to mediate the conflict occurred AFTER the Yorkman was published, and AFTER hostilities began. Therefore, do not blame me for inflammatory comments - it was during a time of war.

In terms of the declaration of war, the Scurvy Crew made the first aggressive act, in their declaration of "New Tortuga," stating that the Western Isle controlled by the Royal Expedition would now be a hunting ground for the Scurvy Crew of Hell-born Strumpet. Captain Dan contacted the Royal Expedition at the "No Violence Zone" on the eastern coast of Shark Island. Although he stated he did not want an armed conflict to arise, he repeatedly threaten the Royal Expedition and its members, exclaiming that the strength and fury of the Scurvy Crew was not a wise thing to toy with.

In response to the hostilities Captain Dan brought to the Isle, the Royal Expedition laid out a series of guideline regarding the Western Isle. If the Scurvy Crew abided by them, war could be avoided in its entirety; however, this did not happen. Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew ignored the guidelines after various revisions, and resulted to threatening the Royal Expedition. Despite this, the Royal Expedition reaffirmed that war would not be declared unless the Scurvy Crew made the first move. On August 31, Captain Dan post this on the Scurvy Crew wiki: "Ah hell with it. I can't negotiate. Kill em if you want. I wish you would have put a word in this Captain." This is clearly a declaration of war, if not a blank check for open hostilities between the Scurvy Crew and the Royal Expedition.

The Royal Expedition wanted to avoid a conflict, but Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew clearly had other plans. Gandhi 02:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Response

All right. The Pirate Hunters aren't actually based out of York (it really is just a coincidence that most of our members come from there). If it was going to be a general attack on York, I was going to order a Pirate Hunter withdrawal to remove the incentive. However, if it's just an interclan grudge match, that's fine. I'll see you in York, and give Captain Dan my regards! Phillip Murray

Captain Whitney, I am James Barnes. I am founder of the Derby Hospitallers. The Council of the Hospitallers has decided to offer your esteemed crew a peace treaty. Would you agree to begin negotiations? James Barnes

I don't think we ever had any hostilities that would require a peace treaty. The Scurvy Crew doesn't attack outsiders indiscriminately and we never declared vendetta on the hospitallers. Don't know what would be in the negotiations either, we could just settle on a non-aggression pact or however you want to word it. Tyler Whitney 12:54, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

A non-aggression pact 'is' a better word for what we're looking for. However, there are a couple of conditions we'd insist on. From what I understand of your policies, I don't think they'd be a problem. Contact Black Joe on the main forums, or log on to our forums at derbians.proboards78.com . Thank you. James Barnes

Mutiny in the Scurvy Crew?

We hear rumours of a mutiny in your crew, are these true? --The Yorkman 22:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC) (best reached via e-mail)

Congratulations to the Crew

Ahoy, Captain! At the time of this message, the Scurvy Crew has killed nearly 80 natives in Dalpok. While none of my characters would congratulate you on this, I'd like to offer my congratulations to the crew on such an impressive feat, particularly Xintlaer, OpiumJoe, and Captain Dan.
