[@nonegiven8615]

I'm certain that the one what created the fake Mithrae the Princess Bride would love to see you pollute his intention by putting the dread pirate before any other pirate. Eye am the dreaded pirate Rodgers. Eye am Death what rises from the sea to walk on land. I come ,Death , I Conqueor for Love of my Flower, what is the Rose. You get me yet,I keep telling you to see Truth, and what is Truth, never a question. Eye Be The Giant. Am Here, He-Re. eL..U, Cee I Fre. Are you feeling it yet? Concept is prison. The puzzle box. No Theisim. No psyche. Conception, used as models for inception. Media-ites hermetic priesthood didn't believe in mind. We are Sound, immersed in vessels. What u" hear" is sound moving at faster than light speeds. You are entangled. In a physical form. Last hour,I Whstlr. No idols. You put your name in face on things. For fame. Vanity. For whom? Tell me. Eye am the Harvest hand. The feather. You are on a scale. Then to now. To whom are you Behooven? Who's your Lord. If you can't tell me that the only one that you are bound to is the Balance between life and death, you already lost. Payment welcome to the Underworld. She told you all when eye came, the Tower. Eye told you all in Babylon, Atomic. Atom, IC. Then, I saw the Stone. And now the kine can too.

He may not be known as "The Pirate King", but I think a man who can go from hostage to Captain within 6 weeks, take 400 ships and make navies around the world think he's invincible is worthy of the title.

[@bernardorippe7024]

Bravo! I adore your channel, especially when you do bios of pirate-era figures. Making a historical boardgame about the age of piracy, I found it challenging to convey the topic. I've got some great notions and good ideas for the early-stage prototypes, but I'm still out at sea with no shore in sight. I hope you write biographies of some of the Spanish governors who dealt with piracy at the time, particularly one with a humorous Alonso de Sotomayor against Francis Drake incident or Blas de Lezo against Edward Vernon.

there are still more pirate stories to explore. how about checking out Ching Shih - also known as Cheng I Sao - who commanded over 80000 pirates, and eventually forced the chinese government to cut a deal (on her terms no less) that allowed her to retire with the bulk of her personal fortune. which is an astounding accomplishment for any pirate, let alone a woman.

While we are on the subject of pirates I think women ought to be mentioned as well. What ab't highlighting the stories of, ANNE BONNIE, and MARY REED? I think one was imprisoned or (later) hung for piracy. Both were imprisoned and put to trial for their crimes and debauchery while on the high seas. One of the women gained a lucky reprieve (as she was pregnant at the time of her imprisonment) when she was bailed out by a rich relative never to be seen or heard from again. This owed in part to the 'promise' of abandoning the piracy life in exchange for, the agreement of (quiet) reintegration back into respectable society. Thanks for the consideration.
