Ok.. let's have some fun. The basic rules are:
Write one line of the story matching to the line in the previous post. You can of course write as many lines as you want to the story, but ony ONE per post, and let at least five or six people post before you post again... Usually stories written this way turn out quite mad.
Also, this is the life story, so it would be natural that the Pirate lingo evolves with time. I don't think an 18 year old Apprentice would stand on the deck shouting "Arr! Swab me decks landlubbers or I'll keelhaul ye!" Ok?
I'll start the fun... (We'll start at the age of 18, as in the game)
---------------------------
After a mutiny aboard the his ship, Walker started his career with 40 men and an 8 gun Sloop...

The voyage toward Tortuga was a harsh one, with many obstacles likely to appear along the way.

*Jeeves, a humble yet clever Cabin Boy, takes dragoniv aside to explain...slowly and gently...what 'one sentence per post' means.  *
Young Walker, having no knowlege of the current political landscape, cautiously maneuvered closer into hailing distance.

I was gonna say something earlier, but I wouldn't have said as well as you just did Nef. Maybe dragoniv (or a moderator) should edit his post to cut it off after the first sentence

He ordered the lantern turned on the vessel, and for a signal of 'friend'. Optimistically he watched the French ship...
