543 | AIN’T GETTIN’

Why’s she letting them go?? The Excelsior crew could use some extra fightin’ men on board! Just put it on the Resistance’s bill.

Aww.. This is a lil’ bit sad. Inman n’ Scherzer  don’t wanna go. I wouldn’t either (Holly is freaking hawt :D).

She lost her curlers when her ship sank.

Has she said: Don’t count her out of the business!

Could it be, that a comic is missing? I’m not understand this big hopping

There was an extra update last week that finished out the plot revelation about Efrem. Click the back button under the comic if you missed it!

Sadly, it is a small panel, so it can only be embiggened so much.

Here it is! Perhaps it will still work! http://www.zapcomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/aintgettin.jpg

Love her new outfit

How are they pirates if they’re getting paid? o.o

Pirate ships were actually democracies, with captains chosen by majority rule and all decisions being put up to a vote (i.e. Where to sail, whom to attack, when to make port, etc.) Spoils were split equally among crewmembers, with extra amounts going to those who were wounded or lost an appendage in battle. Extra spoils were also given to those designated as the “next-of-kin”, if you will, for those fallen in battle. Many pirates would form “brotherhoods” for just such a purpose.
Of course, the early pirates were actually privateers, i.e. ships or fleets licensed by and loyal to a particular monarch or country (usually their home country) to attack enemies of the crown. Monarchs would license privateers with letters of marque and then publicly deny any knowledge of the crews’ actions. This enabled the monarchs to prevent other countries from expanding colonies or taking territory that they wanted without officially declaring war. So long as the privateers put a wrench in the enemy countries’ plans, they were entitled to the majority, if not all of, the valuable items or persons aboard the captured ship. :3

Not necessarily. If I remember right one Captain Henry Morgan went through ships pretty quick, and that didn’t stop him from sacking towns. He was never actually a pirate though. :P
