Art:One Old Stick
Story
On Sept. 29th in the year 2008 a pirate by the name of Hohumdiddly of the Cobalt Ocean embarked on a mission. A mission to trade one old stick for a colored familiar.
The first trade was a stick 
for a Pair of Brown Boots in Good Condition 
from Baddmark which was then traded for a Treasure Drop Table in Good condition 
from Phantomk, that was then traded for an Unnamed Almond/White Dog
from Judhorqa which when traded brought forth a Maroon/Grey Carven Table in New Condition 
from Tammygal. The Carven Table was traded for an Unnamed Pig
from Ivdripper which was then traded for a Gold/White Handkerchief
from Stevensam.
Catalina gave up a Unstocked/Unpainted War Brig 
in trade for the handkerchief. The War Brig was traded for 200 units of Lacquer 
on Laby Moors from Thalatta, which were then traded for 2000 units of Fine Rum 
on Dragon's Nest from Freak.
1500 units of the fine rum were traded to Luno for an Unstocked/Unpainted War Frigate 
at Terra. The frigate was traded to Gooblenka for another War Brig , a Dhow 
named "Inebriating Beer," and an Archelon model 
. The other 500 units of rum and the Archelon model were traded to Starsha for an Unstocked/Unpainted War Frig on Tigerleaf, plus 250 Sugar Cane 
and 150 Large Cannonballs 
.
The War Brig was traded to Axemaniac for a male Diving Helmet (Atlantean) 
in new condition and an unstocked/unpainted Sloop 
. The War Frig, the Dhow, the Sloop, the Sugar Cane and Large Cannonballs were traded to Stephensam for a Sleeping Pig 
, Sleeping Piglet 
, and a Scarab 
.
At this point, the gods smiled upon this enterprise: Demeter accepted the new Diving Helmet in trade for a chance to take a portrait with her. For this once-in-a-pirate-lifetime opportunity, Jalan traded two War Frigs , a Red Starfish
and a Red Comb
. Meanwhile, the Sleeping Pig and Sleeping Piglet were traded to Thalatta for 900 units of Lacquer .
The Red Starfish was traded to Taiioo for an Ice Colored Bone
. The Red Comb was traded to Freak for another Sleeping Pig 
and Sleeping Piglet 
, along with a Sleeping Tortoise 
and Sleeping Turtle 
. This assortment of animals, plus the two War Frigs and the Scarab, were then traded to Campxray (aka Guantanamo) for a Tan Named Octopus 
. 250 units of Lacquer were traded to Guppygurl for an Unpainted/Unstocked War Frig on Cormorant, leaving 650 units at Laby Moors.
The Ice Colored Bone was traded to Ilya for a Gold Starfish
, and the War Frig was traded to Rashnu for an Unnamed Black Elephant in Purple and Orange

. This elephant was quickly traded to Jdizzlejr for another, a Named Black Elephant in Violet and Red
, along with a Purple Knobby Coral
.
The starfish and knobby coral were traded to Luno for a set of Blue/Green Crossed Spears 
.
The final trade was made to Cobaltgeo:
a named tan octopus , 650 units of Lacquer , a Named Black Elephant in Violet and Red
and Blue/Green Crossed Spears for a named Yellow/Gold Parrot! 
Mission accomplished.
