Wow. Over a month and no one signed up. I feel really bad for you, it seems really well planned out too. I'd love to join, though I'm not sure which OC to use yet. I'll probably go with Goldseek. Hope that some more people sign up :3

Colouring takes a long time. ;-;

Oh god I just saw that they don't have tails send help.

Isn't the future Twilight at the start of the episode the same Twilight that goes back in time to warn her not to worry?

As far as I know, Twilight is visited by Twilight, who attempts to tell Twilight not to worry, but doesn't get to do so, causing Twilight to worry and then, at the end of the week, go back in time to tell Twilight not to worry, not being able to etc.

It's the same Twilight over and over in a loop. Twilight doesn't realize that the Twilight who made her worry was her when she went back in time, and she repeated the same mistake.

First of all, hey guys! I'm back!

Second of all, how the hell do I draw a pony?

@@AmberDust,

This was an idea that I had at one point, however it would be extremely difficult to follow and we would have a lot of trouble affecting each other from other threads. Don't worry though. I won't let the RP die this easily.

@, @,

This is really unfortunate. Still, I guess it's best if people leave early, so they don't get to involved.

@@Concerto Dusk, @,

If you're going to resign, I'd prefer you'd do it now. I'm temporarily going to put the RP on hiatus whilst we find replacements, and I would prefer not to do this multiple times. It might seem rude, and if it does I'm very sorry, but I really need to know.

Right guys. Try to avoid posting on the RP until more people join.

@@Illiad Easle,

 "You're right. I'm going to check on everyone else. Remind me if I forgot anything."

Goldseek sat up and trotted out of the room. Perhaps this crew actually had some potential. It was hard to say at this point in time. The answer would be more clear after this first job.

@@clockwork24, @, 

"Right. You two." Goldseek gestured to Clockwork and Nightlight, who didn't seem to be doing anything important.
"I need you to go get about a days worth of food. A bit more, in case something goes wrong. And don't forget citrus. I don't plan on getting scurvy."

He waited for Nightlight to get going, before turning to Clockwork.

"And I'll need you to head down to the gun deck and make sure everything is in order. Gunpowder and all that."

@@Yoshi89,

"And you just get some rest. Early start tomorrow, and I have a feeling that something might happen. I need you ready to fix whatever damage may come to Avarice." 

@@Illiad Easle,

"I'd say about 14 knots on average. You're right though, the travel to Neighpon will be difficult. The closest port would be at Ib'Xian, where we can restock, but we're still going to need quite a few supplies."

Goldseek was very suddenly glad that he'd found Illiad as a first mate, which was very different from just a few minutes ago. In the past, his pirate escapades usually were without planning and often ended in casualties. Now, he was almost certain that he would succeed, or, at the very least, his men would live.

"The cargo ship leaves port tomorrow at 0600 hours. It's due here at about 1100 hours. We want to intercept it before it gets to close to land. Say, about 0930 hours."

@@AmberDust,

Well, since there's no real mention of pirates in the show (Us far as I know. Haven't seen the newer episodes, so maybe.) yeah, it is AU.

@@Illiad Easle,

We're currently stationed in Canterbury.

As for the Crystal Empire, it's possible that the map was drawn during the time before the crystal empire reappeared. Seeing as how there is only one arctic area in Equestria on this map, I'd say it's safe to assume that the Crystal Empire is there.

If anyone was wondering, I'm using this map as a reference (Not going to put the actual picture here, because it's huge. Just follow the link.), and it would be great if you guys all did the same. Also, it would be great if the Solar Queen decided to race us to this Cargo ship, causing some pirate rivalry.

@@Illiad Easle, 

Goldseek nodded, happy with the reply he recieved. "Right. So, I heard that there was a cargo ship headed to Canterbury from Hoofington. Nothing especially interesting. Just some salt and spices, but a good first job. If we intersect it here..."

Goldseek placed his hoof down on a location in the Bridle Shores between the two locations.

"We should be able to board and take what we need. Then we sail all the way down to Neighpon, where I have some contacts who would gladly take our cargo off of our hands and provide us with some cash for it."

He looked up at the tan pony, waiting for a response.

@@Illiad Easle,

Goldseek led the orange pony into the cabin, where there were some chairs and a table. He gestured for him to take a seat, and sat down on the chair opposite.

"Right then. Let's get right down the point. As my first mate, you'll be my side at all times, ready to take action in case anything happens to me. Thus, I need to know if I can trust you. You appear to be honest, but looks can be deceiving, and with you so close to me, you could very easily kill me, then take control. So I need you to tell me. Why should I trust you?"

The blue coated stallion stared down the unicorn, awaiting an answer.

@@clockwork24,

And that makes ten! Welcome aboard the Avarice! I'll start working on the RP topic ASAP. 

@@retrosteamknight, @, @, @@AmberDust, @@Concerto Dusk, @, @@Illiad Easle, @@Yoshi89,  @@clockwork24,

Alright all! The RP topic is up now. Click HERE for it.

~-~[Pillage!]~-~

Today begins a tale of pirates. Ponies who are willing to leave behind their previous lives to pursue a life of sea faring and plundering. For a pirate has a very simple goal, one that is perhaps not so different to that of an normal pony's. To become rich. To steal money, gold and riches. That is what it is to be a pirate.

===============================================================================================================================

@, @@Illiad Easle, @@Yoshi89,  @@clockwork24, 

Goldseek looked down on his new crew with distaste. It was hard to assemble a crew, and he was honestly quite disappointed in the results. Perhaps they would prove themselves better than they seemed, but at first glance, they didn't seem like the job would suit them. He had managed to memorise their names, though he wasn't sure how much good that would do. His First Mate, which he was most worried about, seeing as how close a First Mate would have to be, was Illiad Easle. The Gunner, who could very easily betray him, seemed at least to know what he was doing. His name was Clockwork, and he apparently knew his fair share about weaponry.  The Carpenter's name was Thrillseeker, who Goldseek hadn't a clue about his skill with repairs. He could only hope he knew how to use a hammer. And finally, was the chef, Nightlight Sparkle. Goldseek had at first mistook him for a mare, due to his femininity. He appeared to be somewhat high class, which would make the pirate life very difficult for him.

"Right then. I'll hope you all know how a ship works and where everything is, because I really don't want to have to explain it to you. Illiad, could I please speak with you privately in the cabin?"

Come on guys. We need one more person and I really want to start the roleplay today.

@@retrosteamknight, 

I'll add you to the Solar Queen as a Carpenter then.

One more person! Come on guys!

@@Illiad Easle,

That's fine. Just try not to post to much as to get everyone else behind. And as for the sensing emotions thing, that's fine. Though it doesn't seem to fit with the theme of your OC.

@@retrosteamknight,

That's great. Just leave a link to your OC and your preferred Ship and Role, which atm is either a gunner for Avarice or a carpenter for Solar Queen.

@,

You're accepted. As for the ships, I'd say they're frigates. Gunner is probably a bit misleading of a name, but is the best I can think of to describe the role, which is explained in the OP.

@@Gloomfury,

Of course. I'll mention you when we start setting up the third ship.

@@Yoshi89,

Welcome aboard Avarice. Can't wait to get started

@,  

How are you two chefs? Please explain.

One Carpenter and Two Gunners and we can start!

@,

You're accepted.

Come on guys! Four more people until we can start. 

@@Concerto Dusk, 

Updated the OP.

I'll start the RP as soon as the first two ships are filled out. The third can come in later.

@@Concerto Dusk,

Alright. You're in. Since you're the captain, you're going to have to come up with the ship name. Whether you do that now, or wait for more people and come up with it as a group is up to you.

@@Illiad Easle, 

I was planning on just having a pub meeting of some description, all the ponies meet up and become a crew, though it might be a little awkward with multiple ships. We'll probably just start the RP up with each pony having just joined the crew, having very little relations between each other.

@@AmberDust,

Of course, you're in. I'm sure you'll find a way to make it work.

@@Concerto Dusk,

Great. If I could just have a link and the role you want to be, I'll add you right away. 

@@Concerto Dusk,

I'd like to keep it to one character per person, but depending on how many people sign up, I may change that. But yeah, feel free to sign up for the second ship then. 

@@Illiad Easle,

Welcome aboard, Illiad. Can't wait for this to get started.

@@Concerto Dusk,

I would prefer to get the first ship filled up first, but if you would prefer to be on another ship, I can do that. 

@,

Of course, you're accepted. Welcome to Avarice.
