Yup.  He is.  :-)

We really need to get the pirate master himself here...

That sounds wonderful--is SJ still just "fiddling around" or is he finally
entertaining the idea of making this thing into a set of standard rules?  I
really wanted to have a chance at it someday.  That's what I get for being in
the Northeast.  *sigh*

Well, much of the rules are posted on his web page. All we're really
waiting for is the charts and tables. I don't expect that it will get
beyond the shareware state, though if it becomes popular enough, I could
see Steve figuring out a way to more formally publish it.

In fact, I had set up a truly diabolical "trap"
for unwary players -- when setting up the game,
I had dumped _ALL_ of the snakes one just one island.
To be "fair", I also put some of the juicier treasures
on "Snake Island" (the "magic scroll" was in the treasure chest,
and one of the super-valuable silver bricks was on the island
also, IIRC).

You mean, to be "evil" you added "bait."  ;)  I almost fell out of my chair
reading the story, and when you got to the refrain I half wanted to sing
along.  My life is poorer for not having been in Biloxi. (I never EVER thought
I would have said that.  Ever.  EVER.)

Please, more stories (and pictures) of the pirate game!
