The Golden Age of Piracy was from the 1650s to the 1730s, How can it last longer? Bouse points if into the 19th century.
There's really no way that I can see to extend it into the 19th C.
And yet piracy continues to this day..![]()
I'm sorry but why is everyone so negative here? It seems any sort of question is immediately shot down as impossible!That's if someone isn't being a wannabee mod and telling people to move threads etc. Have some imagination, people!
Rant over!![]()
I agree somewhat with this. Even when people specifically say, "ignoring the impossibility" many members tend to jump on the "it can't happen" bandwagon while ignoring the "just suppose it did".
It's the main reason I left a long time ago, I came back to give it another chance. I try to ignore it but it's really annoying how any idea is immediately either shot down, or some other fault is found. It's like people think they seem super intelligent if they just say 'nah can't happen', when in reality they just look like dicks. If they don't like an idea, move along, plenty other threads. You don't HAVE to ruin everyone elses fun you know!
ETA: If someone gives a reasoned explanation of why they personally believe something wouldn't or couldn't happen, fair enough. If they give constructive criticism, or ideas to get around it, no problem. But to just post in a thread to say 'nah' is really irritating, are we just supposed to accept your authority on the matter, and your word is final? To be fair Zepellin probably was quite constructive and explained his reasons, so sorry for taking my rant out on you!
