Sounds like a world where everyone and the environment is chaotically aligned. Not sure if want.

we thought of this and made a faction called the "crusaders". look here for all the different archetypes:
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Endless_Isles:_Character_Archetypes
it is quite diverse

>>10051820

Which means that instead of teenagers being rebellious and chaotic, they act lawful and obedient to be edgy.

While almost everyone is constantly moving around and partying all the time, the outcastes are settled down in settlements that are actually capable of producing goods and services that are needed for pirates to exist.

Parents tell horror stories about settlements full of content people.

Is anyone making a compiled version of this setting? Or will I have to do it?

>>10051963
what do you mean?

>>10051930

Of course, all but the largest of islands are incapable of sustaining a lasting settlement, since piracy and the large quantities of trees that must be cut to continuously build new ships strips islands of resources extremely quickly. This results in the world's population being mostly organized into an ever-expanding ring of people, sailing outward from some forgotten centerpoint. Constantly settling new islands, ripping all resources from them, and moving on. Even islands that are large enough for long-term settlement are abandoned as trade possibilities disappear as most of the population keeps on their ever-outward journey.

>>10051948
explain yourself

>>10052053
this also why large kingdoms and governments unheard of

>Which means that instead of teenagers being rebellious and chaotic, they act lawful and obedient to be edgy.
trying to picture this made me laugh

>>10052053

Of course, new settlements have to be founded SOMEHOW. Aside from long-established families and pseudo-nations that help each other set up somewhat fortified and defended settlements, trying in vain to make a decent living in a world of thieves, new settlements are founded by those 'rebellious teenagers.' They go out with a group of their peers and sail far out ahead of the currently populated ring of islands, establish a colony, and do as best they can. They live like this for several decades before the ring catches up with them, at which point their settlement either becomes a rich port, or is destroyed by pirates, any survivors becoming slaves on pirate ships or turning to piracy themselves.

>>10052185
that is, of course, if you can get yourself a boat!
also, there are sea barons who control an bit of turf. Some may delve into politics, making deals with other barons, trade escorts, appealing to the woes of their inhabitants. But these are only sparse and short lived
most are the closest thing since King Louis to a form of government in the isles.

people are so silly

"NO DAD, I WANT TO BE A HARD WORKING CITIZEN IN AN ORGANIZED AND LAWFUL SOCIETY!" Child storms off and slams their door.

Later, father crying, "I JUST WANTED HIM TO BE A GOOD, RESPECTABLE PIRATE!"

>>10052433
poor father
only wanted the best for his son :(

>>10052461

It could be worse, his son could have wanted to be one of those horrible Robin Hood type pirates, with all that piracy only to give the loot away to those who didn't earn it through piracy like reasonable folk.

"you... you ever think there's something more for us... you know... out there? Like a purpose other then being a pirate. something out of the ordinary, something spectacular. I'm not talking about being a reacher, but I dunno... I just feel like being a pirate is right for me, but, hell, what else is there to do? maybe I should settle down, stop seeing the world and have some kids, meet a nice girl. Sometimes... well, anyway, the sun's down, haul in the mainsail for tonight."

>>10051963
Settings are not made of code. You don't have to compile them.

>>10052600
awesome

arg
this thread is hitting off a lot better then the previous ones
so, what about this ship that danced and drank all day and night?
if you want to write the story, write it in a moral driven fairy tale way;(semicolon) that would be awesome.

>>10052835
oh, hey
a thread about one piece!
there's not allowed to be more then one example of pirates in a given genre so, rip off of >>10051948
just cause

>>10052835

This is... BETTER?

I just came in here to write what I assumed was satire about a world where cultural norms are flipped around. I assumed the previous threads had people that actually read the 1d4chan pages and knew anything about the setting.

>>10052612
>Hasn't heard that comiple had a meaning before coding

>>10052925
well, it's all better then the previous threads which were centered around me correcting people who didn't feel like reading, but felt it was their duty to tell us we're doing it wrong, arguments over the origin of a song, arguments over >>10052919 and lots of bumping
not productive at all
just saying that this thread is starting better, we all know how quickly they can deteriorate.

>>10052977
ah
well, glad to help

>>10052977

I'm primarily interested in knowing the exact manner of immortality used, and how the setting maintains a disproportionate number of pirates.

>>10053221

Before I can really contribute anything serious, I mean.

Set sail for One Piece!

>>10053221
the immortality breaks down like this
you swear an oath to Torriaeu and when you are killed (though you age indefinitely), you're able to return to your birth place and regrow a body (a painful experience), stopping when you think you've reach a respectable age. You may still reproduce, causing an ever expanding population and need to expand to the fringe for resources. The overwhelming population combined with the sea, need for trade and immortality to those who swear to the crew of a pirate, constantly produces more buccaneers. though there are some who despise the oath and set out hunting pirates, should they come across a boat.

>>10053349
go away!

>>10053382
eh
I'm ok with this
it could do with some touch up
but I haven't really read the extent of it

>>10053382
That has got to be the stupidest thing I've read today.

>>10053568
>>10053382
you really are horrible at explaining things
please stop trying and let GN do it

>>10053568
it's really not that bad
just read the wiki page and it totally makes sense

>>10053382
stop fucking posting

>>10053717
>>10053624
>>10053587
>>10053568
alright, fuck
how would you explain it then?

>>10053763
fucking better

>>10053811
go ahead then, dick

see what I mean when I say threads deteriorate quickly.

everyone on /tg/ is a complete idiot.
every. single. one.

Right, posting some late night writefaggortry, stand by.

Or I would, but part of my comment isnt allowd to be posted. What gives?

*goes to check*

Eh, bugger it. I cant get it to work, and it's late. Polite sage for lack of content.

>>10054578
:(
try posting it to the wiki?

so, what do you call a the pirate who died for a cause

>>10054637

Still around, due to mild OCD. Apparently, it's Kimmo acting up again, so the word filters are being sods. Going up on the wiki now, ill post a link in a second. 'pologies in advance for any typos or grammatical errors.

a mARRRRRRtyr

>>10054734
it's alright, we'll mark it up as dialect

>>10054740
that's a horrible joke

WRITINGS:

http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Endless_Isles:_Tales_from_the_Fringe

I've plopped it on the bottom of there due to not wanting to start a new page. It's currently unnamed, because I can't think of one.

great great story, but you might want to mention the rebirth further into it. It should really be easy to put in without changing anything drastically. a "slain so they could begin the long trek home." here and a "They kill them knowing they come back, kill them over and over until all they do is plead for forgiveness and throw themselves to the keep (assuming you wish to set this in Dead Wind Keep as it would fit well) Also, there was a king named King Louis, whom Louisport was named after, as it was the only port in the core that he could not take.

I also like what you added with the clerics of order
I'm just imagining real crusaders, perfect image for the keepers of deadwind, who are rumored to be naught but skeletons.

>>10054815
bravo!

>>10054815
I've noticed that /tg/ doesn't like ellipses
that may have been your problem

>>10055220
Aye, I changed the ellipses but it didnt seem to do anything...

In any case, thanks for the comments! I'll make some modifications once I've had sleep, tie them in with the crusaders and either Dead Wind Keep or (more likely) Fort Cross.

For now, 'tis time to sleep -.-

plus referring to their mission being to take down kings is a great way to avoid piracy in general being regarded as complete chaotic barbarity.
I like a lot of things you did here, good job.

>>10055262

Oh! If anyone does think of a good name for that, feel free to put it in, as I'm rubbish at titles. Polite sage.

>>10055262
alright
yea, just remember to mention that you're in a ship traveling from a small port to fort cross for the new method of cleansing (which he should be really excited for)

>>10055280
I'll think on it, in the mean time, thanks for contributing

Basically, you have a world where:
a, resources are very limited.
b, the people that product nothing themselves live forever
c, 'society' is constantly moving outward, leaving nothing behind in their wake.
d, when these worthless non-producers die, they return to the middle of this ring of nothing, to return to a land that is most likely already stripped of anything of value and no way to leave.

Ironically, the terms of your reincarnation would likely mean that any pirate with half a brain goes about securing his birthplace so that when the inevitable happens, he isn't doomed to be marooned forever.

>>10055458
>a, resources are very limited.
only certain resources, such as wood, are strained. There is a good number of farmers and fishermen who live in settlements, producing food for pirates or traders when they come to port. The rarity of ships keeps many people landborn and having to produce something.
>b, the people that product nothing themselves live forever
The oath is very well known and any man afraid of death can take it, meaning that a farmer who doesn't want to die can swear himself away and continue raising live stock until crusaders visit his home and take him away. The threat of crusaders visiting home towns is great in the core (which relies on agricultural and fishing trade) that many tend to stay away from the oath, but it's not to say that they're not there.
>c, 'society' is constantly moving outward, leaving nothing behind in their wake.
With the immortals able to reproduce, they are simply sending their following generations out further while they stay in the core, there is still plenty going on there, where everything is mapped and merchants flock in from the fringe to sell goods to wealthy barons.
>d, when these worthless non-producers die, they return to the middle of this ring of nothing, to return to a land that is most likely already stripped of anything of value and no way to leave.
again, it's not stripped down to nothing. Most likely their own village is still there and if they're born in a village that promotes piracy, they will likely find a ship out. If not, they will have to wait for a ship to come by or try and swim/raft to the nearest port. they have a while to try at least.

>>10055616
also, rum
the core makes tons and tons of rum

>>10055458
also, a pirate cannot choose where he is born.

that would make a good story, though
a pirate who thinks about seeing his family and having tons of nostalgia about his home town, but when he gets there, it's charred and destroyed. So he remains a shade forever.

>>10055780
it'd be like the story of Agamemnon

>>10055891
what?

>>10055921
Agamemnon?
got home from 10 years of kicking ass in troy to find his wife had been cheating on him and then she killed him with an axe

well, not exactly the same, but still.

>>10055936
that's a different moral, but sure
anyway, I might write it and post it later

bump

I need to make a logo with a naked woman in it
that will probably get more people in here

>>10056066
good luck

bump for more interest

and a kiss from mary lue wouldn't do us any harm
oh, a kiss from mary lue just to prove our sailor charm
yes, a kiss from mary lue shouldn't raise a big alarm
lest the captain's only daughter send me right back to the farm
aye, a kiss from mary lue wouldn't do me any harm.
