Who am I?

Fiddler, Orsino, and a few others... More interested in role-playing nowadays....

Who are we?

The Armchair Pirate
The meeker the man, the more pirate he be,
Snug in his armchair, far from the sea.
He has all the fun and none of the woes,
Masters the ladies and scuttles his foes.
His armchair's his ship and reclined his position,
As he cheats the hangman, hellfire, and perdition.

Roger L. Jackson, Commander U.S. Navy, Ret.

• Blurb to send to still-active artists
  • Ahoy,

As you've probably noticed, on the recommendation of Nemo the wiki has slowly been archiving all of the art and avatars that have appeared on the forums over the years. We've already collected quite a bit but there's still a lot to go. As a still-active artist, it would help us tremendously if you would upload your own work to the YPPedia. You can see what has already been accomplished by visiting the [url=http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Category:Avatar_artists]Avatar artists[/url] and [url=http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Category:Fan_art]Fan art[/url] category pages. All art is sorted by the forum name of the artist. Instructions for uploading your work, using the wiki templates correctly , and sorting which piece should go where can be found in [url=http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewthread?p=489621#489621]this post[/url] in the Mariner's Muse.

Thanks in advance for your help, and I look forward to seeing more of your work on the wiki soon.
