❝ Quiet, missy! Cursed pirates sail these waters. You want to call ‘em down on us? ❞

❝ Bad luck to have a woman on board, too. ❞

❝ Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn’t believe the truth if he told it to you. ❞

❝ I apologise if I seem forward… but I must speak my mind. ❞

❝ If there is even the slightest chance one of those poor devils is still alive, we cannot abandon them! ❞

❝ I know those guns!  —  It’s the Pearl. ❞

❝ They’ve come to kidnap you! You’re the governor’s daughter! ❞

❝ They haven’t seen you. Hide and, first chance you get, run for the fort . ❞

❝ I think it would be rather exciting to meet a pirate. ❞

❝ We know you’re here, poppet. Come out… and we promise we won’t hurt you. ❞

❝ I invoke the right of parlay! According to The Code of the Brethren, as set forth by pirates Morgan and Bartholomew, you must take me to your Captain. ❞

❝ I recognise this ship. I saw it eight years ago on the crossing from England. ❞

❝ I’m curious… after killing me, what is it you’re planning to do next? ❞

❝ Then that’s not much incentive for me to fight fair, is it? ❞

❝ Curse you for breathing, you slack-jawed idiot!!  —— Mother’s love, [Name], you know better than to wake a man when he’s sleeping. It’s bad luck! ❞

❝ The gold calls to us… ❞

❝ There’s bound to be sailors on this rock crazy as you. I’ll find some men. ❞

❝ You’d best start believing in ghost stories, [Name]. Because you’re in one. ❞

❝ The blade is folded steel, and that’s gold filigree laid into the handle. ❞

❝ It’s… beautiful. May I inquire as to the occasion? ❞

❝ My sympathies, friend, it’s not a matter of luck at all! ❞

❝ Had a brush-up with the East India Trading Company, did you … pirate? ❞

❝ You are, without a doubt, the worst pirate I have ever heard of. ❞

❝ You seem somewhat familiar … have I threatened you before? ❞

❝ No. I can not just step aside and let you escape. ❞

❝ One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness. ❞

❝ Actually, I find it all fascinating. ❞

❝ Man overboard! ❞

❝ [Name], I want you to accompany them. He’s in your charge now. You’ll watch over him, hm? ❞

❝ Do you really intend to kill my rescuer? ❞

❝ Still abed at this hour? It’s a beautiful day! ❞

❝ I saved your life; now you’ve saved mine. We’re square. ❞

❝ That is a wonderful trick. Except, once again, you are between me and my way out. ❞

❝ [Name]! It’s so good to see you! I dreamt about you last night. ❞

❝ Worry about your own fortunes, mates: the lowest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers … and mutineers. ❞

❝ The Black Pearl sails from the dreaded Isla de Mureta… an island that cannot be found — except by those who already know where it is. ❞

❝ So there is a curse… that’s interesting. ❞

❝ A craftsman is always pleased to hear his work is appreciated. ❞

❝ You must be a pirate for the pirate’s code to apply. And you’re not. ❞

❝ Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for [Name]. ❞

❝ You’ve seen a ship with black sails that’s crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that hell itself spat him back out? ❞

❝ I haven’t set foot off dry land I was twelve, when the ship I was on          exploded. It’s been a sound policy. ❞

❝ Bring her in, not too close. I won’t brave the reef, not until high tide. We lay anchor before dark. ❞

❝ How do we expect to find an island no one can find, with a compass that doesn’t work? ❞

❝ You’re in league with Barbossa! ❞

❝ What do you say to three shillings, and we forget the name? ❞

❝ The trick isn’t getting here, it’s getting away. ❞

❝ No. This won’t work. I’ll stay behind, and fight them. You go on. ❞

❝ When you’ve led the kind of life I have, there are debts that must be paid. Maybe I can balance the scales a little. ❞

❝ You see, I’ve got this honest streak in me, in its own way, a sort of curse. Oh, and there’s the fact that you have no choice. ❞

❝ I’ve heard of one, supposed to be fast, nigh uncatchable … the Black Pearl? ❞

❝ No pirate would sail to London, for fear of the Execution Dock. ❞

❝ Stop blowing holes in my ship! ❞

❝ She’s raised the Jolly Roger… it’s a signal. If we resist, it won’t just be death. There’ll be torture as well. ❞

❝ Take your captives belowdecks! Chain them in the galley, and teach ‘em how to row. ❞

❝ That’s the second time I’ve had to watch that man sail away with my ship. ❞

❝ We have to get off this island immediately! ❞

❝ [Receiver], how many times must I ask you to call me ‘[Sender]’? ❞

❝ There is but one way to remove the curse: all of the scattered pieces  of the treasure must be restored in full, and the blood repaid. ❞

❝ That’s all very interesting, but I hardly believe in ghost stories any more. ❞

❝ You’ll be dining with the Captain, and he requests you wear this. ❞

❝ Get away from there! You don’t have permission to be aboard there! ❞

❝ Huh. Last time I saw you, you were all alone on a God-forsaken island, shrinking into the distance. ❞

❝ There was a lot of long words in there, missy, and we’re naught but humble pirates. What is it you want? ❞

❝ Not steal; commandeer. We’re going to commandeer a ship. Nautical term. ❞

❝ Welcome to the Caribbean, love. ❞

❝ We can stay alive a month, maybe more. Keep a weather eye open for passing ships, and our chances are fair. ❞

❝ [Name]! I’m not sure I’ve had enough rum to allow that kind of talk. ❞

❝ You’ve been planning this from the beginning. Since you learned my name. ❞

❝ I know now where your heart truly lies. ❞

❝ Just so you know, [Name] — I don’t think you’re that clever. I think you’re a fool. ❞

❝ You’ll be positively the most fearsome pirates to sail the Spanish Main. ❞

❝ That’s what a ship is, you know. Not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails. That’s what a ship need … but what a ship is — what the Black Pearl really is — is freedom. ❞

❝ That’s why he sent off a piece of the treasure — to you, as it were: so it would never be recovered, and so cursed we’d remain. ❞

❝ I have a plan. If it succeeds, then any battle will be decidedly brief … and one-sided. ❞

❝ What are you doing? You’ve burned our food, the shade — the rum! ❞

❝ And as for how we got off the island… ah, that’s a grand adventure, but now is not the time to talk about it. ❞

❝ And though I do say so with regret, the law is clear. The penalty for piracy is death by hanging. ❞

❝ They’ve escaped! There was no damage to the cell… they must have been set free. ❞

❝ Captain [Name] – the Black Pearl is yours. ❞

I've got it

After making my life more complicated than I would've needed, I believe I have the correct solution, no doubt thanks to a partner in crime of mine.

The middle sentence is:

Zweibein auf Dreibein vor Keinbein auf Vierbein.

Which translates to:

Two-legged something on three-legged something in front of no-legged something on four-legged something

my translation skills are legendary but it'll make sense in a second

How I figured this out? I didn't, I do admit, I was quite confused, so naturally I tried to automate the process. I wrote a bit of code which would give me every way the first word of the sentence could be interpreted and actually got 'Zweibein' and... for some reason concluded that didn't make sense and moved on. Eventually, I gave it to my partner in crime to read, who figured it out in a short time span.

Great, now we've got the sentence but what does it mean?

Well, the first part is easy. A two-legged creature - human, on a three-legged thing: a stool with three legs. The second part? Not quite as easy.

It turns out similar riddles have been in, for example, The Hobbit, but not the exact wording. Where are a lot of possibilities for a thing with no legs, it's pretty obvious the four-legged thing would be a table. But... what is ON the table?

In the end, we reached the conclusion that the thing on the table would be a thing to eat, since the person is sitting on a stool near the table. Then, what's a food with no legs? 🐟

Ein Zweibein auf dem Dreibein sitzt vor dem Vierbein auf dem ein Keinbein liegt.

Another possible solution for the riddle I came up with while trying to find the answer, but this one is a bit less... straight forward (and just for fun) :D

Are you bored lately? Do you have case at the moment ? Are you aroace ? Do you want a riddle?

Those are many questions for one ask. I am working on a case, but I couldn't solve it yet. It's irritating. I'm waiting for more information about the case from the police and the labs. It's tedious, I've a case but I'm bored with waiting.

I'm always ready for a riddle.

These two idiots /pos

An asexual and pansexual become room-mates and have wacky adventures

The show is called ‘All or Nothing’

i really enjoy the realm when it’s driven by character conflict. not conflict spawned by faction wars, or by weekly tasks—but between two people played by streamers who have had the opportunity to develop their characters separate from an external, admin-driven force. such as (most notably for me personally) the ones between aimros & pangili. i think that’s where the heart of the server lies, and i think the cast of people on the server would thrive in a completely free-range roleplay opportunity. they’re all very creative people, who have the skill to make some incredible storylines outside of factions.

and i do feel it’s important to note that several creators have started to take their storylines in their own directions, and give less “lore-ability” to the factions. which is incredible! it’s really been re-sparking my love for the server.

it wasn’t intentional, but the factions do feel restrictive, both in terms of things people can do and directions in which they can take their characters. it’s had a tendency to put them into boxes. that’s not to say that there haven’t been extremely interesting character conflicts and dynamics spawned by the factions, because there have been (ex, pili/ros, green/red, etc) but they also prohibit any development of these dynamics. because the factions have inadvertently given us the “good guys” and “bad guys,” we are at a stand-still. they have been frozen in this conflict, and it’s being dragged out with no proper way to resolve it.

for example, at the end of the day, the red faction will still have to kill. there’s no other option. and i feel like that’s very isolating. and i feel like it’s spawned a lot of fandom toxicity. and that (the fandom infighting), above everything else, is pulling me away from the server. it has a lot of potential! even currently! but i fear the factions will eventually drive it into the ground, and drive the community past the point of no return.
