For the most part, bases should look cool. It would be good if they have space
for some (or many) cannon. I haven't decided how many cannon bases should
have, but they should have enough to require a pretty good sized fleet to
assualt them.
I would concentrate most on something that looks nice though. Bases are where
people will retreat to for resupply and to sell loot. They provide a role
playing opportunity, so bases which show some character will be more evocative
for role playing opportunities.
Note: In the Saturday game, I will be awarding some bonuses to those who
provide something neat for the game (and don't forget to show up in some kind
of costume if possible - if nothing else, stop at a toy store and buy some
kiddie pirate props - a definite bonus to someone who can supply me with an
awsome hat [I do have some kiddie pirate props, but if someone has access to a
costume store or just has a bunch of stuff about the house, that would be
really cool, I'm affraid I haven't had time to do a bang up job], note also
that a bandana can be turned easily into a pirate head wrap).

...I think a trip to a local Long John Silvers would be in order too (and the paper kids
hats are fun :-)

Well, I don't want to find myself down too many points, but I have no Pirate
gear to wear. I can, however, say "Arrrr" annoyingly often. What's the
diferential in setup points for finding the getup? ;)
As for that Long John Silver's, is there one in the area? I'm partial to
"Pizza de Resistance" myself, at least in the "goofy names" category.

And if it's any use, I know lots of silly "Arrrr" jokes. After their show, our
Improv club went crazy with these and made up multitudes of 'em. Arrrgh! ;-)

It mostly just means a special for your captain or some such. Note that
bonuses will also be awarded to those who help set up or supply ships or
islands. You can also just stop in a toy store on your way down and pick up a
pirate prop...
Yesterday and today I did some ship building. I built four cutters (including
one based on a 4 wide hull) and another class 2 regular ship (which has a pink
striped sail, and uses the bow detail from the Flying Time Vessel).

...I started a ship last nite and while thinking, ended up making a small 'pirate outpost'
island place compleat with a little prison :-)

but I'm planning on seeing if the store has a cheap supply of cannon in any WW sets tonite

Um, looks like I won't really have time-- my grades are really borderline
right now, so they depend on how much I study... :-(
It's OK to build them on the spot, right? I'll bring my island BPs if needed.

Yea, I'll be bringing stuff to build islands on the spot (we may also be
able to raid the building room...). If you want to bring stuff to build
with, please do, but we won's absolutely need it (I can pack a BUNCH of
island building stuff into a box).

...Well, I'm planning on bringing just about everything I own for just such emergencies
:-) Including lots of burps, castle walls, 5hi bricks, and tons of 6x8 tan plates :-).
Give me 10 minutes and I'll build u a nice little island :-)
