| - BasilBrawlmonk How the Play Began Jack Pistol and Edgar Wildrat were both attending The Holy City Festival and after everyone had left we began talking and discussing random topics. Jack Pistol had been thinking about writing a play as a new form of story writing with a better flowing layout and interesting new way to tell a story. Jack asked Edgar, who had both become very good friends, if he thought it was a good idea and Edgar said it sounded cool. Jack asked him what he thought a cool storyline would be because he had not made a definite one yet and only had a few rough ideas. They started pondering on a good storyline for the play and then Edgar asked if he could write the play with Jack. Jack said yes and that was the best decision they had ever made. Edgar suggested we make the genre of the play a mystery, because he had been reading many mystery novels lately. We started to think of a story that could fall under our new genre. Edgar suggested a mystery about a stolen belt buckle and how the inventor went in search of his lost possession, but we scratched that idea because the plot would have been too short and we wanted to include real players instead of fictional characters. Jack suggested that they change Edgar's idea slightly and that the inventor should be Lawrence Daggerpaine of Daggerpaine Industries and that he was hired by King John Breasly II of Great Britain to invent something. At the same time we both suggested that the invention that Lawrence was hired by King John to create was an Advanced Ship of the Line. We decided that to bring in the element of mystery the designs would be stolen and that there would be more than one suspect. We also decided that the Spanish would be the primary antagonists lead by Sir Carlos Clemente, and that they would be the reason the designs were being made. In the next 5 minutes Jack quickly made the page and added some info and a quick draft of the plot. Jack began working on the first scene of Act 1 while Edgar made the letter that would be sent by King John to Lawrence Daggerpaine. The game became a bad place to write the play because of the speech limitations so Edgar created a special play chat that we still use today when the Wiki Chat is glitchy. More scenes were added and people started requesting to be in the play and the first person to request a role was Captain Robert. Slowly we wrote more and more people complimented the play or asked to be included in the story. Background and References To understand much of the humor you need to understand some of the references and have some background information of the setting of the play.
* The play takes place in 1740 and the Spanish are a growing threat to the citizens of England and pirates.
