Why are there so many pirate ships in Second Life? Why are they so hugely popular? You can't really live in them (way to small), you can't really move around in them (way to small), you can't really rez them properly unless you have a large piece of land/water (way to primmy), they cost thousands of L$ (way to expensive) ...
I guess everyone wanted to be a pirate at some point during their playful youth. Didn't we all play 'pirate' when we were kids? With eye patches and plastic swords? I certainly did! Well, I also wanted to be a pimp when I was a kid, and SL would be the perfect place to try that. But I don't. The past is the past, and the present is the present. Do we still want to be pirates on primmy ships right now? Or do we want to socialize, contribute to the wonderful world of pixel porn, or run a decent business?
You know, the whole thing with pirates has become somewhat of a hype, after the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Maybe that's it. Maybe that has triggered the pirate hype in SL. All I can think of, is that. Who doesn't want to have a glass eye, wooden leg, a hook for a hand and an abusive parrot on a shoulder? You have my blessing, good people, go ahead and be playful! And don't forget to go to mouselook when you go down to the lower decks!
Ship Ahoy !!!
