Welcome

Welcome to Beat to Quarters, a Play-by-Post Text Roleplay set in 1741. It's the Age of Sail, and also the Age of Piracy here in the West Indies. Will you fight for King and Country and uphold the law here at the edge of colonial civilization? Or will you pillage and plunder to your black heart's content? The wind's a-blowin' and the sea awaits, so prepare for adventure...

The Tale So Far

September, 1741:

Madre de Dios, a Spanish galleon loaded with gold, is on her way back to Europe with her convoy. But an ambush lies in wait for her in the Inaguas – the Sea Hound is planning a bold assault on the larger ship, her pirate crew willing to risk it all for gold and glory. But Sea Hound is both predator and prey, as the HMS Steadfast closes in for another encounter with her quarry. The deadly showdown between the three forces is fast approaching...

Always answer a question with a question. No Answers!!!

Example:

First Person - Do you always brush you teeth after meals?
Second Person - Did you read that article about teeth too?
Third Person - You don't brush your teeth after meals?


I'll start.

Has anyone seen the new Sherlock Holmes movie?

Why would I have said it was amazing if the acting were no good?

Do you realize that correct grammar dictates "was" should have been used in lieu of "were" in that sentence?

Do you realize I am from the deep south and they teach us how to run cash registers instead of teaching us grammar in school?

Wouldn't you be supposed, as a native English speaker, to be a model of accurate grammar and proper expression to us, the ones learning this language at school, only 2-3 hours a week? wink.gif tongue.gif

Nope!

Did you know I did not have one single grammar lesson in school until I was a sophomore?
