So, you want to be a pirate. Or you're looking to go privateer and taking some pirates down. Well, gather 'round, children, and I will learn you a thing. This here is a guide to historical pirates, per the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean, circa 1650-1730. Here you'll find the Code they operated under, their ranks, pay-grades, election processes, superstitions, diet, what they did on shore leave, slang, maritime code concerning colors, and any and everything else I can think of. Though Pirates of the Caribbean kind of skewed history a bit, this is the way my Barbossa operates himself, since they're supposed to be working during the last days of the Golden Age.
