SEE THE JOLLY RODGER FLAG

This is a community for people who have an interest in, fetish for, and/or healthy obsession with, pirates. Your interest/fetish/obsession can be based on real-life pirates and their history, or on fictional pirates and the general idea of cool pirate clothes and slang. It cannot be based soley on Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, or any other actor who played a pirate in a movie. Their are other communities for you, and anyway, that's not actually pirate-related, when you think about it.

Pirates aren't picky about who becomes a pirate versus who doesn't - after all, the Jolly Roger means surrender, and therefore turning pirate, will be accepted. If this was a closed community, it would be called "No Quarter". It's not a rating community either, because as I said, pirates aren't picky. So, we'll welcome aboard anyone who can prove their loyalty as a pirate by filling out this list and putting their pirate name as the subject. See below for Pirate Name generators, or make up one. Embarassing or underly-piratical pirate names are subject to change based on the crew's decision. If you don't get all the words, we'll still take you, just be sure to get educated promptly.
