Popular Post Ripper Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Ahoy, Comraid! Even as they slipped into their moorings at port they could hear the commotion. Sounds of laughter and singing threaded together with slightly discordant violin music drifted across the bay towards them. Grand Admiral Zim stood on deck gazing inland toward what sounded like quite the party. “Lads” he said over his shoulder as the crew gathered on deck. “I don’t know about you, but it appears we are late to the party”. Admiral Ripper chuckled to himself behind his mask “Aye! But better late than never, I always say.” As a crew member lowered the gang plank, Zim yelled over his shoulder “Lads, and Ladies! It’s time for a bit of fun!!! We celebrate tonight, for you have earned it, but two days hence we sail!! You bilge rats had better be ready then! If you fall behind.....” “YOU GET LEFT BEHIND” the crew shouted as they jostled their way over the gangplank and down the dock towards town, First Mate Bocephus wagging and barking along side. As the crew approached, the sound of the party grew louder and louder until they arrived at the tavern. The Admiralty pushed their way forward through the crew and opened the door. They were greeted with a blast of sight, sound, and, unfortunately, smell. Pirates were everywhere singing, drinking, and playing dice. A few were dancing and several were in various degrees of undress participating in questionable things with the staff. Someone was swinging from the light hanging above the taproom, and some fool was trying (and fortunately failing) to set fire to the upstairs balcony. When the revelers noticed the Arrgh! Crew filing in, they slowly ceased their fun and stood, staring at the pirates as they entered. The music suddenly stopped and an uneasy silence filled the room. Both sides bristled at each other as hands strayed toward sword hilts. Both sides staring hard across the room. Zim searching through the crowd for threats noticed a familiar face across the room. A slow smile spread across his ugly mug as he put the name to the face “Dryad, it’s been a long time”. As Dryad recognized the speaker he returned the greeting “Ahh Zim, I see those navy jackals haven’t managed to get a noose around your neck yet, you filthy pirate!” “I could say the same about you and the national guard” replied Zim. Both leaders strode to the center of the room and exchanged a firm handshake. As if everyone in the room was holding their breath and could only now exhale, the tension in the room went out and everyone relaxed returning to their activities and the new arrivals shouting for ale and rum. “Let’s you and I get a quiet table and catch up.“ Dryad said, moving to a dark corner of the room. “You know” Dryad said after emptying his tankard. “With all this warfare going on between the two coalitions......there could be......opportunities for the, shall we say, industrious to make some coin”. “And of what industry do you speak?” asked Zim leaning into closer. “But, raiding of course!” said Dryad. “Of course!” Zim replied laughing. Dryad leaned forward, ”I have heard many sea stories of late about the mountains of booty the Arrghcrew has been hauling in”. “Similar stories are heard about Mythic” replied Zim. “Well” said Dryad, eyes beginning to glow with anticipation. “Imagine that instead of working separately, and in some cases against each other, we came to a...sort of.....understanding? “Of mutual benefit?” asked Zim, eyebrow raised. “Of course!” said Dryad laughing. “Well let’s get to the details then” smiled Zim leaning closer to hear more about the arrangement. The party gained momentum, both Mythic and Arrgh! crews began to bond over rum, sea stories, and other sorts of shared debauchery. It was a party of such magnitude, that to this day people still talk about in port. As dawn broke over the bay the party was still in full swing, and the two figures in the dark corner, heads together were still plotting their collective courses.......... ~ From the Chronicles of Cap'n @Critters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As it has been recognized that both Arrgh and Mythic follow a similar governing philosophy and support communities the members of which... pillage, plunder, rifle, and loot kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot extort, pilfer, filch, and sack maraud and embezzle, and even high-jack kindle and char, inflame and ignite burn up the city, are really a fright are rascals, scoundrels, villains, and knaves are devils and black sheep, really bad eggs are beggars and blighters, ne'er-do-well cads but are all loved by their mommies and dads … Arrgh recognizes Mythic as an Associate and makes a toast to all the future raiding and plundering to come. This does not imply the signing of any kind of a treaty between the two alliances that will remain paperless, but does signify their will to work together in an attempt to terrorize all the seas, lands and skies of Orbis. tl;dr: Arrgh and Mythic have decided to become raiding partners.

Congrats! As the night progressed, Zim and Dryad’s drinking took a turn for the worse when someone put a bottle of tequila on their table..... “hmmm this stuff is okay, but something is missing” said Zim grimacing at the taste of the brew. “I agree” said Dryad searching the room with his eyes. “Aha!!” cried Dryad. “I see that salty assed horse somehow managed to sneak in here. For once, I’m glad to see it”. The two moved to where the horse stood, alone and crying. They rubbed their glass edges in the salty tears and returned to their table. “Ah, that is what was missing. It just needed a little salt” said Zim tasting the brew again. “Here’s to the future” they both toasted, their salt lined tequila glasses clinking.

Congrats! Paperless doesn't have to mean neutral or isolationist. You can have friends based on relationships. Those relationships can also dissolve once those friendships go their separate ways. That is, in fact, one of the key tenets of being paperless. You move on from relationships that aren't working, you aren't bound by a silly treaty ad eternum. Too many alliances these days pick a sphere and sign an alliance and forget about them until war rolls around. The little ones do it for protection, the big ones do it to have pawns in their chess match.

Congrats! Never thought I'd say this but I agree with Horsecock... (Damn you ripper for making me say it) Also... To announce a "paperless" treaty defeats the purpose of paperless my friend.
