Sorry, folks, just felt I had to get this out. So many damn 'Real Pirate's
|
||
Guides' have been coming out that it has become something just to do for fun.
|
||
In this textfile I will outline the rules for ACCEPTABLE pirates, and not just
|
||
to be funny...I think this shit has gone long enough. It will also (and above
|
||
all) tell what is UNACCAPTABLE for a pirate. Well, on with it!
|
||
|
||
It still stands that true pirates are at least 15 years old. I have seen some
|
||
exceptions, but these have been around older pirates for a long time and already
|
||
knew what they were getting into!
|
||
|
||
It doesn't matter about a pirate's behavior. He may be the meanest guy in the
|
||
high seas (sorry about that..) but could still be a damn good pirate. But since
|
||
the number of that kind of pirate seems to be on the rise, there may be no
|
||
pirates of tomorrow. Well, very few. Pirates are ENCOURAGED to help beginners,
|
||
but we all have our Captain Bob's to pick on.
|
||
|
||
Real pirates DO NOT LEACH, even though SYSOPS of AE's say they don't mind it.
|
||
Get several AE's and if one has something another doesn't have, get it and give
|
||
it to the other. Pass it around, don't hog your wares and say 'no, call this AE
|
||
and get it'!!
|
||
|
||
Oh: Real AE lines aren't leach lines. Good SYSOPS are active and get all the
|
||
new wares for their AE they can. LEACH LINES SUCK! The SYSOP's are (generally)
|
||
assholes. The only exceptions are those who don't have time for it (as opposed
|
||
to those who get tired of waiting for uploads). And these aren't real pirates
|
||
anyway!
|
||
|
||
Real pirates keep the same general image during their whole career, changing
|
||
it gradually when there is any criticism. Don't make rapid changes! For
|
||
example, don't switch from cuss-out wars to questions about programming and
|
||
really philisophical messages.
|
||
|
||
Pirates know how to PROGRAM!! And understand their computers!!! If you're
|
||
going to ask a stupid question, put it on a board you don't leave messages on
|
||
too often and make it anonymous. But if you do this do so in the knowledge that
|
||
you are STILL ON YOUR WAY to being a pirate! Most good pirates are geniuses who
|
||
rarely display their knowledge.
|
||
|
||
It isn't necessary for a pirate to krack, but he better have a damn good
|
||
understanding about his computer. Sorry for rehashing this but I think it is
|
||
THE NUMBER ONE thing a pirate should know.
|
||
|
||
Real pirates know that there is always room for improvement. THERE IS NO SUCH
|
||
THING AS THE PERFECT PIRATE! A pirate might be the greatest alive but he still
|
||
isn't perfect! True pirates don't go for fads; they have their own lifestyles,
|
||
and if anybody doesn't like it, tough shit for them!
|
||
|
||
Pirates think before they choose a name or before they enter a message. Think
|
||
about what other people will think! This may seem to contradict what I just
|
||
said, but there are certain limits of dignity!! On the keyboard, anyway.
|
||
|
||
And pirates know how to raise all hell when anybody says anything about them.
|
||
And not just pure cusswords; Pirates are strategic in their attacks. They know
|
||
what hurts, and they use it wisely.
|
||
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
I hope this helps any beginning pirates and sets the record straight about
|
||
actions a pirate should make. Of course, no 'guide' can be absolutely complete;
|
||
But I tried to give you the general idea of a pirate's character, and what he
|
||
should know (everything!) before he can call himself a pirate.
|
||
|
||
Good luck, and happy hacking (what pirates do for fun)!
