Special Savvy Swashbuckler - September 29, 2011

[Ice_Storm]

We’d like to pay special tribute to a truly Savvy Swashbuckler this week, Bill Ironskull.
Hundreds of Pirates have written in to let us know the sad news of his passing, and to share their fondness and deep appreciation for a one-of-a-kind Pirate friend.



A Founder and exemplary Guild Master, Bill impressed anyone he met with his generous style and eye for adventure. His Guild mates, friends, and many other Pirates honor him best, and here are just a few of the countless kind words we’ve received:

“He was a great Pirate, a great SvSer, and everyone respected him.”

“Bill was not only one of the finest, kindest and most helpful people one could ever meet in the game, but he was an icon in the SvS community.”

“I hardly knew Bill, but when SvS first started, Bill was willing to put up with my horrid sailing skills and gun for me, and he had no reason to do that other than that is just how he was - always helping people, always willing to offer guidance if someone asked and always a player of very high integrity.”

“In the four years I have been playing Pirates Online, I have never seen such respect paid to a person.”

“Bill was a true friend, a true Pirate, and a true SvSer.”

Any Pirate swashbuckling alongside Bill came out the better for it - whether it be in plunder, excitement, or as the best example of an adventurer. We’re very happy to know his Guild the Caribbean Eagles is determined to continue in his legacy of fun and friendship in the Caribbean.
He leaves a lasting mark we all celebrate and are thankful for.

Fair winds, Bill. Ye’ll be missed.
