    Wonder if the chicken pilferer is a reference and tease to the possible "sacrifices" mentioned in the HD trailer

    It's the same guy obviously

    I would buy this for 1 gold coin at an outpost. Someone needs to get on that!

    @lifewcoke Imagine if this could be found at the island outpost shops... or on a message board in the tavern.

    Would be nice to see :)

    I have to admit...I missed the reference to @lizalaroo in the Museum of More Pirate trailer! I just watched it again...nope. Still do see it. Guess I need to get my eyes or ears checked...or lift both eyepatches? :-D

    @clumsy-george thanks shipmate! Somehow I had completely missed the extra short films! Excellent shout outs! :-D

    Oh...and thanks @Musicmee. If I had waited but a short few seconds later I'd have used your most excellent and handy links ;-)

    Several sailors have asked the Pirate Times to issue a warning of shark attacks on the rise.....
    ...On the bright side, sales of peg legs have doubled.

    This made me giggle, haha!

    Yours truly. 🤗

    And now that i know what year we are in i can flesh out the background of my Pirate.
    Did you know that in 1697 the first known first-class cricket match took place in Sussex?
    I'll have lots of reading to do..

    A small list of Events that took place prior to the 1700s.

    I have like nine Tabs open right now reading through various stuff from the 1670s to 1700s. 😅

    @thor-von-blitz

    "March 11 1702 (O.S.) – The first regular English-language national newspaper, The Daily Courant, is published for the first time[1] on Fleet Street, in the City of London; it covers only foreign news."

    "May 14 1702 (N.S.) – War of the Spanish Succession: War is declared on France by the Grand Alliance (Kingdom of England, Dutch Republic and Holy Roman Empire)."

    these two are pretty interesting.

    Edit:

    who knew, you'll get educated in here....

    The "alleged chicken pilferer" seems like a curious fellow.

    @nic727 I really wonder what he wants the animals for ... Maybe he's sacrificing them to summon creatures from the hungering deep? :O

    I was really pleased to see this on Twitter.
    It's great to see things like this for/with/by the community.

    It reminds me of a running "newspaper" that was a part of the City Of Heroes mmorpg.

    I think the chicken thief may be on stilts... :P

    @skritsarn Now that is an interesting theory... maybe the thing in the deep is his master?
