Getting as Bad as Bella - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

So... I have Mercedes Swan... technically 2nd pirate I made... but first to make it past LVL 23 with out being deleted... thus being my learning experience.

Mercy Swan... LVL 21 waiting for her Mommy Pirate to retire so she can take over in her footsteps...

Now I've made "Rachel Wall"... I have hopes to make her into my best pirate of the 3... even with the reallocation of skill points soon to be put into the game, I know that's suppose to be able to be done at a price and if its gold well... most of Wenches know I have an issue with keeping gold on hand! That and I wanted to move away from the Mercedes Swan ordeal I have going on and go with a little bit of history... I picked Rachel Wall because she was a real pirate born 'n raised near where I was.

She will likely be my last pirate I make as well, since Guy has the 4th pirate slot on the account.

Hey Mercy, I almost chose Rachel as my fourth. Nice. She was a toughie

Here's some TMI for ya...

Rachel Wall
Rachel Wall (1760-1789) was born Rachel Schmidt in 1760 on a farm near Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Around the age of 16 this blue eyed brunette took a trip to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to attend the funeral of her grandfather, Joseph Kirsch. While wandering the docks in this comparatively large city, she met a shady gentleman by the name of George Wall. Against the wishes of her mother she married the man, and the two of them went to live in Boston, where Rachel took a job as a maid, and George found work as a fisherman. Upon his very first voyage, George found some partying friends, and he and Rachel and these new pals partied away what little money they had. Left without money to pay the rent, our trouble hungry couple borrowed or stole a ship at Essex, and began a pirating career off the Isle of Shoals. They lured in passing ships by pretending to be in distress, but when their would-be rescuers arrived they found only death at the hands of the Walls and their unsavory crew. Once all valuables were removed to their own ship, the pirates would then sink the captured ships and all those aboard.
Their villainy came to an end in 1782, when George was washed away in a storm. Rachel herself was rescued and taken back to Boston, where her thieving ways continued on a smaller scale. She kept her hand in by creeping aboard ships docked in the harbor and raiding the cabins for theft worthy goods, and in this she was fairly successful. In 1789, however, she was captured, tried and convicted of highway robbery. On the stand she confessed to piracy, but claimed she had never killed anyone. Regardless, she was sentenced to death and hanged with two other criminals on October 8 of the same year.

Told you, TMI, but I love it when our characters are named after the real thing, I'm looking into a 12 step program

LOL Mercy!!! I understand your plight. Not enough slots to make pirates!!

I miss a few of mine....Diablo....Max....Charlie....

Skulley told me we wont pay for another acct. until I master Jezz and Rebel. With the skill point reallocation I might actually play Bella again.

Not TMI, for myself. hehe That's actually one of the few articles I had read about her.

My re-incarnation of Rachel is going to be a blue eyed redhead version tho... I can't seem to get away from creating a pirate that looks like myself, no matter the name. heh

When you locate that 12 step program, let me know I think I need to start one too... This POTC obsession of mine has been taken else where too... I think Piper 'n Bella know where I'm talking about. hehe

I almost hate to bring this up, 'cause there's no way I've got time to do it now, but I think it would be neat to write a story about the Wenches. Like have a group of women who come together to do something, like rescue the Black Pearl, and become pirates. I can almost see it as a movie. Whadda ya think?

Mercedes Swan · #6 10-07-2008, 04:09 PM

LOL I think its an adorable idea!

I'm not exactly a creative person, so ya's wouldn't want me to do it. (ie: Two of my pirates basically have the same name!) I never did do very good in my creative writing class in college either... good thing I went for Accounting. Being creative in this field is a very very bad thing. :P hehe

Lib,

I have read some of your FF and love it!! I would love to see that!! Not just about the WW's but about a group of female pirates period!!!

Mercedes Swan · #8 10-12-2008, 05:57 PM

Lib probably thinks I'm a stalker now. lol

Lib Feathers · #9 10-13-2008, 09:08 AM

Heavens, no, I'm flattered someone actually looked at my page. I know I can't talk about that Inet site here, or in Pirates, but Toki is there, too, if you two wanna make friends. I'm not sure how to tell you where to look, though.

Mercedes Swan · #10 10-13-2008, 02:42 PM

Well I'm glad your flattered, Lib! If I see someone has a site and I have time to mess around I almost always take the time to check it out. I dunno if that's weird or not. May be I'm just nosy? lol Do you have Toki befriended or just know she's there somewhere in the abias?

I know ya can't mention that stuff here... but I've gotten away with it in the game, at least the site name. With out even thinking about it, mention something about it to one of the Wenches and then its like "uh oh... am I going to be banned tomorrow?" lol Still here tho! *knocks on wood not to jynx herself*
