My first tin of Black Frigate arrives tomorrow. Not sure when I'll have a chance to pop it. Could be a week or two.

more shenanigans = promotions
Speaking of promotions, is there some kind of official ceremony that will have to take place to install seacaptain as a Black Frigate Captain?
This could potentially coincide with the upcoming Jabber like a Pirate Day (or whatever it is).
I'm curious to see if the now somewhat large list of lowly crew members here are going to be accepting of a new Frigate member coming on as Captain rather than having a promotion from within.
There will also have to be an additional ceremony for the transformation of the current Captain into whatever that new title was...something about Commode Conquistador or whatever it was.
Are any preparations being made for all of this pomp and circumstance?

You have a week or two of breathing room. Let's see if I even like Black Frigate first. :mrgreen:

I'm just an innocent bystander and passive observer regarding all the Frigate drama and excitement. But I would consider not liking it to be an unrealistic option for you at this point.
I don't think anyone with the title "seacaptain" is going to be allowed to publicly state here that they don't like BF without consequences (of some difficult to imagine type).

Good point. So, which ship do I get then? :)

A bold question indeed. And surely it is one that only Commander Commode can answer.
My guess is you're more likely to get the America's Joy Boat than one of the 904's.

I want something with a quirky name, like Prince Albert's Revenge. Or maybe The Flying Diehlman.

BION, I considered dutchman, but the last time I saw it it was sliding down a huge wall of water, & I figured, uhhh, no, don't think that one's gonna be seaworthy for a while.
