Ahoy matey! Welcome to the biggest and best index on Eurobricks! Here you find everything that your Pirate heart desires. In the indexes you will find every MOC that has ever been posted in the Pirate forum and in most cases find threads to go to for suggestions, questions, or inquires pertaining to that individual index. Pages such as contests and other threads typically come as is. So what are you waiting for? Take a look around and enjoy yourself!
There are nine professions to choose from in this game. Players are not limited to fighters and seamen. Thieves, gunners, hunters, craftspersons, and magickusers are also included in the game. Players are also given the choice of being pirates or privateers working for a specific country.
The Halogen rule system is a bit difficult to understand in first reading the book. The attack and defense tables may be a bit intimidating but in play they should not be too cumbersome. The rules governing magick use are good because characters who use magick can only cast a certain amount of magic a day or suffer damage to their own hit points.
Unfortunately, the special effects that are possible in using magick in a pirate game are barely covered at all. This should not be a problem for experienced gamers but it might be for players who are new to gaming.
The sailing mechanics section adds a lot of flavor to the game. The authors use real sailing terms to describe the parts of ships from the hulls to the sails. The rules on sailing with the wind at various directions in relation to a ship are great.
The roleplaying artillery attacks section adds drama to ship to ship combat. All the phases of firing a cannon are covered as well as the commands given by the gunner. This section in particular was a pleasant surprise to me; I didn't expect this much detail in the game.
The ships section is also very detailed. Including the adventure at the end of the game, twenty ships are listed with full stats. This section really rounds out the "pirate" side of the game. I have wanted a game for a long time that could simulate a 44 cannon broadside attack by a ship of the line; this game can do just that!
The historical background of the game is excellent. Nearly every major player in the economic, political, and military arenas around the world is covered. The magickal background of various regions is also included. The players have the opportunity to meet Blackbeard or Captain Kidd or even Louis XIV. The game also presents several secret societies that are present at the end of the 17th Century. One of the great aspects of this section is that adventure hooks are provided for all the "powers that be." Designing adventures should be a breeze with all the background provided.
Now to the Furries. Yes, this game is about Furries. The players can play almost any animal that they can think of as long as they can provide an appropriate background for the character. Even the ship's parrot has a job in this game; that of aerial scout. One thing that is good for those who don't think Furries is that the pirate aspect of the game is as important as the Furries are. This is not a game of cutesy little Furries playing pirates, these are cutthroat scoundrels!
Moments before the scheduled start time at 12:35 p.m., the game was pushed to a 1:20 p.m. start. During the delay, the Pirates issued a statement stating they would continue to consider weather conditions and air quality index.
The game began with the lights turned on at hazy PNC Park, and Pirates star Andrew McCutchen put on a face mask to run the bases after hitting a single in the first inning. Several thousand fans, including many children, were in attendance for the afternoon game.
"After collaborative discussions between Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association, our team of expert medical providers at Allegheny Health Network, our players and staff, we have made the decision to move forward with our game today," the Pirates' statement read. "We will continue to closely monitor the air quality index levels around the ballpark and respond accordingly."
"This is newfound territory for everybody, not just the players or MLB," McCutchen said. "It's one of those things where you kind of have to go through it. If something like that were to ever happen again, we would have more of a feel for it. We can't just go and say, 'Hey, we're not playing,' or 'I don't care what it's like outside, we're playing.'"
"I appreciate the fact that our players were concerned about safety," Shelton said. "I think the reason we had the delay was to make sure we were able to have conversations with some of them about their concerns. ... Our player safety is always our No. 1 concern for us.
Pittsburgh scored three runs in the seventh inning to rally for a 5-4 win, completing a three-game sweep. Henry Davis, the No. 1 pick in the 2021 amateur draft, was 3 for 4 and had a go-ahead single in the seventh.
"I think there was a little more thought to some teammates with respiratory issues and some guys on the staff," Davis said. "I know myself and other players were thinking more about fans who are older and knowing that if we thought it was OK to play, they would think it was OK to be in the stadium. I'm not sure the details on the air quality or whatnot. I could tell, visibly, that it didn't look right."
"I know a few guys said their eyes were burning a little bit throughout the game, it was tough to get the visuals right," Musgrove said. "I think some guys obviously struggled with breathing a little bit. It didn't affect me too much. It was more the routine of getting fired up in here, throwing weighted balls, getting ready to go out, then getting the breaks put on, and having to chill for 20 minutes and then trying to fire it back up. I think that threw me out of whack a little bit."
"Just make sure that you're very vocal with us in terms of how you're feeling or what you're doing," Shelton said before the game Wednesday. "We definitely don't want to put anybody in any sort of harm's way. ... I think everybody has the concern and the health of, not only the players, but the people attending the game at the forefront of their mind."
"I've been through this before. Two hundred is kind of the level that they look at to potentially have meetings about," Melvin said. "Seattle, we played in that game when it was at 240 or whatever it was. ... We were the guinea pig for that one."

The Burrito Index is a concept used informally to measure changes in the cost of living and to understand the real-world impact of inflation on everyday expenses, particularly for ordinary individuals. This index is not an official economic or financial indicator but is often cited in discussions by economists and writers seeking to illustrate economic trends in a relatable way.
Jason "Thor" Hall maintains a custom Burrito Index specifically crafted to track the caloric value of a twitch-viewer over a month. For that matter he includes some of the following variables and more:
The Burrito Index is based on the idea of tracking the cost of a specific everyday item, namely a burrito, as a proxy for the overall cost of living. This approach provides a simplified yet accessible method for assessing how changes in prices for essential goods and services can affect the standard of living for the average person.
The Burrito Index is not intended to replace official economic indicators like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Instead, it serves as a relatable tool for individuals and commentators to discuss and understand the impact of inflation and rising living costs on everyday life.
One of the key limitations of the Burrito Index is its lack of comprehensiveness. It focuses on a single consumer item and does not account for the full range of goods and services that make up the cost of living. Therefore, its results may not be as precise or accurate as official economic data.
The second way to index vectors is with logical vectors. A logical vector is a vector that only contains TRUE and FALSE values. In R, true values are designated with TRUE, and false values with FALSE. When you index a vector with a logical vector, R will return values of the vector for which the indexing vector is TRUE. If that was confusing, think about it this way: a logical vector, combined with the brackets [ ], acts as a filter for the vector it is indexing. It only lets values of the vector pass through for which the logical vector is TRUE.
You can also create logical vectors by comparing a vector to another vector of the same length. When you do this, R will compare values in the same position (e.g.; the first values will be compared, then the second values, etc.). For example, we can compare the boat.cost and boat.price vectors to see which boats sold for a higher price than their cost:
In addition to using single comparison operators, you can combine multiple logical vectors using the OR (which looks like and AND & commands. The OR operation will return TRUE if any of the logical vectors is TRUE, while the AND & operation will only return TRUE if all of the values in the logical vectors is TRUE. This is especially powerful when you want to create a logical vector based on criteria from multiple vectors.
You can combine as many logical vectors as you want to create increasingly complex selection criteria. For example, the following logical vector returns TRUE for cases where the boat colors are black OR brown, AND where the price was less than 100:
R has lots of special functions that take vectors as arguments, and return logical vectors based on multiple criteria. For example, you can use the is.na() function to test which values of a vector are missing. Table 7.1 contains some that I frequently use:
