Fleet Action off the Southwest Coast of Spain

Part 1
In which we have discovered a strange fleet.

Since the logs of the time we stole HMS Victory seem fairly popular, I thought I'd share with you even more of our amazing adventures. This one took place a day or so after rollback.

06:07:.oOo.WiLlIaM NoRrInGtOn-SpArRoW.oOo.: Sails two points off starboard bow!
06:07:~~=Wm Norrington=~~: Sweet.
06:07:m_cat: How many?
06:07:FredMarryat: We have the weather gauge. ROFL
06:07:.oOo.WiLlIaM NoRrInGtOn-SpArRoW.oOo.: Three, I think.
06:07:~~=Wm Norrington=~~: pwnt
06:07:.oOo.WiLlIaM NoRrInGtOn-SpArRoW.oOo.: Make that four. One is quite small, and the other three don't look that big.

06:14:JeffVader: Does it have commercials?
06:14:iHEARTviggo: prolly not
06:14:m_cat: Either way, yes.
06:14:Speedy:
06:15:Cyan: Captain, as a weedy naturalist, I must insist that you delay combat until such time
06:15:Cyan: as I have had a chance to explore those islands over there. Who knows what kind of
06:15:Cyan: interesting creatures might live there.
06:15:m_cat: We started talking about combat like ten minutes ago. Where were you then?
06:15:Cylon: yea what took u so long? u usuall wine at first sign of combat
06:16:Cyan: Sorry, I was playing Starcraft in campaign mode, and Kerrigan just died.
06:16:JackVincent: Oh, god. He's going to cry again.
06:16:iHEARTviggo: No! Please, no. We don't need that again.
06:16:.oOo.WiLlIaM NoRrInGtOn-SpArRoW.oOo.: Again? What happened?
06:16:Cylon: cyan cried when palom and porom died in ff4 and totally wrekt our day
06:16:Cyan: That's a lie.
06:16:Cylon: dude i have transcript
06:17:m_cat: Post it and I have you trhown overboard.
06:17:Cylon: ill im u if u want transcript
06:17:Ichiko: You don't want it. Trust us.
06:19:Cyan: So about those islands I insist on exploring.
06:19:m_cat: You know, this is a RP-light server.
06:19:Cyan: Naturalists are an exception to those rules. YOu know that as well as I.
06:19:Cyan: Besides, now that they've got custom AI working, we might find some really sweet
06:19:Cyan: pets. Who knows?
06:20:m_cat: They broke pets last week after rollback. You can't eat them anymore.
06:20:Cyan: That's why I want to get some now. That and the AI.
06:20:m_cat: We can't eat the pets we capture, and the xp will almost certainly be better in
06:20:Cyan: It's not all about XP, you know.
06:20:m_cat: a fleet battle than on a couple of tiny islands. I'm sorry, but I just can't
06:20:Cylon: yes it is
06:20:InFeStEdBoRg: no its about drops 2
06:20:m_cat: justify losing those ships to explore your islands. We'll come back if we have
06:20:m_cat: time.
06:21:Cyan: What about discovery? The wiki doesn't have any details on these islands.
06:21:m_cat: I command a privateer ship, not a king's ship. My crew wants XP, drops, and
06:21:m_cat: zeny, and they want them now. We do not have time for your damned hobbies,
06:21:m_cat: sir!
06:21:m_cat: Tell the fleet to prepare for battle.
06:21:BillTehCat: Prepare for battle, aye.
06:22:.oOo.WiLlIaM NoRrInGtOn-SpArRoW.oOo.: Wait, king's ships aren't all about xp, zeny, and
06:22:.oOo.WiLlIaM NoRrInGtOn-SpArRoW.oOo.: drops?
06:22:*+*Legolas*+*: King's ships are all about spit and polish and fancy paint
06:22:*+*Legolas*+*: jobs and "correct" English.
06:22:*+*Legolas*+*: At least the ones I've served on.
06:22:Ichiko: Yeah, on HMS Namur, you'd get whipped for like 50 HP and 3,000 xp
06:22:Ichiko: if you used "they" as third-person singular
06:22:FredMarryat: Well, it is gramatically incorrect. It's like using "pwnt" in formal
06:22:FredMarryat: writing.
06;22:Speedy:
06:22:Cyan: Actually, third-person singular they was used by a number of famous authors
06:23:Cyan: throught history.
06:23:m_cat: Including the Bard, himself, I believe.
06:23:Cylon: yea shakespeare in romeo& juliet
06:23:Cylon: friar l: arise one knocks good romeo hide thiself
06:23:Cylon: romeo: not i unles the breath ofhartsick groans
06;23:Cylon: mistlike enfold me from teh srch of eyes
06:23:Cylon: *knock*
06:23:Cylon: friarr l: hark how they knock!
06:23:Cylon: wm makepeace thackary 2 in vanity fair
06:24:Cylon: "a person cant help their birth" rosalind replied
06:24:Cylon: u c it has long history iz just st00pid english teachers whine about it
06:24:LoneWolf: sigular they is all feminast conspiricy like herstory
06:24:Cylon: stfu, n00b. u think shakespere was feminist conspiratz0r?
06:24:Cylon: altho herstory is stupid. is done mostly 2 draw awareness 2 masculan
06:24:Cylon: dominanc of linguistic deffaults like always replacing man with woman
06:24:Cylon: like chairman/chairperson to chairwoman most ppl think sounds odd
06:24:Cylon: but isnt any odder than chairman just not what we r used 2
06;25:Cylon: history tho not the same cuz "his" is not morpheme for male posesive
06:25:Cylon: history is anglisiz0red latin "historia"
06:25:Cylon: historia is latiniz0red greek "histor" meaning knowing
06:25:Cylon: n00b
06:29:m_cat: I'm not sure what the hell just happned there.
