Who's your favourite Pirate?

[Insanum]

A Dead Pirate. I do not see the infatuation with these thieves & scum of the ocean.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

As a member of the Ninja Coalition, I can't say I like any pirates. If I had to pick one, though, I'd have to say Charles Vane

 

[Sonicron]

Gotta go with Klaus Störtebeker. He was a real pirate, lived in the 14th century, and his name actually means 'Empty the mug in one gulp'.
A little quotation from wikipedia:
"The most famous legend of Störtebeker relates to the execution itself. Störtebeker is said to have asked the mayor of Hamburg to release as many of his companions as he could walk past after being beheaded. Following the granting of this request and the subsequent beheading, Störtebeker's body arose and walked past eleven of his men before the executioner tripped him with an out-stretched foot. Nevertheless, the eleven men were executed along with the others."

Either Edward Teach (Blackbeard) or Sir Francis Drake.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

Otherwise i dont know that many pirates aside from blackbeard, but with this topic i intend to do some research.

You could start checking up pretty much every viking that ever lived. Pioneers in piracy they were!

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Has to be blackbeard! And happy talk like a pirate day ya scurvy dog yarrrrrrr!

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Grant Danasty from Castlevania.

 

[AfterAscon]

Blind Pew or Polly Lobster from The Muppets Treasure Island.

 

[Left4Meds]

Spoiler: FUCK YEAH!

That is all.

I fell out of my seat when I saw this.

 

[xXGeckoXx]

The lack of Guybrush in this thread disappoints me. He may have gone downhill lately (Read: every game after the third) But he still has enough residual awesome left over.

Spoiler: Hells yes Guybrush is the best!

Spoiler: Closely followed by Hector Barbossa.

Jack is witty though

Three men of low moral fiber.

OR

CAPTAIN BLOOD!!

Sir Francis Drake, equal parts Pirate, Adventurer and British Hero. Don't get much better than Sir Francis.

Darn em privateering scum, the yeller bellied bilge rats are the barnacles of the theivin trade.

This. It's one thing to be a pirate, it's another thing to be a pirate and be payed for it, while being made a national hero. Therefore, he gets my vote

This.

Has anyone heard of the story where he was SHOT while raiding land for treasure and just shrugged it off and yelled at everyone to keep moving?

That man was a goddamn HERO.
