    www.adamsgardens.co.uk/images/Random/CarolComp.jpg

    Sooooo.... in a little spurt of madness, Captain @J4dio and the other @Boatswain have started rewording carols to suit our beloved game.

    COMPETITION TIME

    Please enter your carol below in a new post.
    Entries allowed up until 11.59pm (GMT) on the 21st December, at which point a team of judges (myself, J4ydio and SpecialAdvisor) will pick a lucky winner and a runner up.
    @J4dio has kindly donated a 6 item Obsidian code, whilst @SpecialAdvisor has added to the booty a Spinal Figurehead, which will be promptly delivered via personal message within 3 days of the end of the competition.
    One runner-up will then receive a code for the Huntress Figurehead, which is still redeemable in game if you haven’t already purchased the item from Morrow’s Peak yet!

    Forum rules and the Pirate Code still apply, so think carefully about your entries folks.

    Most of all:

    Have fun!

    I shall let the other Boatswain post their own, mine is here:

    Ding d0ng powder kegs on high,
    In crow's nests bells are ringing:
    Ding d0ng! verily the sky
    'Tis swift death we be bringing!
    Gloria, explosions in excelsis!

    E'en so here below, below,
    Let the Ferry bells be swungen,
    And "abhoy abhoy abhoy!"
    By Boatswain pirates sungen
    Gloria, explosions in excelsis!

    Pray you, pitifully for crimes
    Your mateys hide, we kill them;
    May you beautifully die
    Your evetime song, ye singers.
    Gloria, explosions in excelsis!

    Let Us Hear Yours!

  • @sshteeve I will pull out another, but just so people know, it was more than craziness that started it all with some of my good friends : so here was the insanity of it all, but I'd like to offer up a six pack Obsidian to @Sshteeve as a giveaway to any of you pirating people, who want to do their own SoT related carol conversion.. I'll let Sshteeve and other Boatswains decide on the T's & C's (may have a few other goodies to offer ;) )

    On the 8th day of Christmas a Boatswain gave to me 8 Bulldogs milking, 7 Badgers Badgering, Sshix Shteeves complaining, 5 Sirio's, ThorVonBlitzens, 3 Fishsticks, 2 cups of Coffee and is it tri or does he try(hard) Monkey

    On the 9th day of Christmas a Boatswain gave to me 9 Dames a dancing, 8 Bulldogs milking, 7 Badgers Badgering, Sshix Shteeves complaining, 5 Sirio's, ThorVonBlitzens, 3 Fishsticks, 2 cups of Coffee and ah he's a mod but he thinks he's a Monkey

    Indeed shipmate! :-D

  • Oh, the sloop that's outside is frightful
    But the boom boom is so delightful
    And since we've no place to go
    Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow

    Man it doesn't show signs of stoppin'
    And I brought some boom booms for poppin'
    The sails are turned way down low
    Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow

    When we finally kill em tonight
    How I'll hate going out in the storm
    But if you really hold a boom boom tight
    All the way home they'll be warm

    And the fire is slowly dying
    And, my dear, we're still bucketing
    But as long as they fight us so
    Let it blow, let it blow, and blow

    When we finally kill em tonight
    How I'll hate going out in the storm
    But if you really grab a boom boom tight
    All the way home they'll be warm

    Oh the fire is slowly dying
    And, my dear, we're still bucketing
    But as long as they fight us so
    Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow

  • @sir-lotus that's pretty darn cool.. now I've got the song stuck in my head.... cheers for that :)

  • Some excellent entries and wonderful prize offers coming in!

  • @sshteeve

    Lovely lovely idea, some of these are so good!


    God rest ye merry..... pirates

    Take heart, ye mighty pirates
    A' Sailing on the Seas
    There's loot and gold aplenty
    Right there below those trees
    Just read the map and find that X
    avoid those skeletons....
    O' treasure is what we all desire
    We desire
    O treasure is what we all desire!

    Oh look there is a galleon
    Docked up at Smuggler's Bay
    With Reaper's mark a'flying
    And booty on display
    Lets sail up there and shout 'Ahoy'
    They might not be our friends
    So we'll send them down to Davy Jones
    Davy Jones
    We will send them down to Davy Jones!

    We spied the might Karen
    With tentacles unfurled
    She'd wrapped them round a poor old sloop
    He's not long for this world
    We'll lend a hand and save his hide
    Then share in those rewards...
    An alliance is what this fellow needs
    Fellow needs
    An alliance is what this fellow needs!

    So harken all ye pirates
    Upon the Sea of Thieves
    There's plunder and adventure
    Opportunities to seize
    We'll toast it all with mugs of grog
    In every tavern fair.
    And drink to the freedom of the seas
    Of the seas
    And drink to the freedom of the seas!

  • Just because :

    Dashing through the Wilds
    In a 2 man open brig
    O'er the waves so mild
    Laughing with a jig
    Bells on lookout ring
    Making spirits bright
    What fun it is to ride and play
    A Brigantine tonight

    Ring those bells, Ring those bells
    ring them all the way
    Oh what fun it is to play
    on Sea of Thieves today, hey
    Ring those bells, Ring those bells
    ring them all the way
    Oh what fun it is to play
    on Sea of Thieves today, hey

    A day or two ago
    I thought I'd take a splash
    And soon, a skellie boom appeared
    Was making me just dash
    The ship had holes, no plank
    Misfortune seemed her lot
    Got stuck into a strange sandbank
    And then we all got shot

    Ring those bells, Ring those bells
    Ring them all the way
    Oh what fun it is to play
    On Sea of Thieves today, hey
    Ring those bells, Ring those bells
    Ring them all the way
    Oh what fun it is to play
    On a Sea of Thieves today, hey

    A day or two I tell
    The story It is merry
    I heard my crewmates scream
    As I came back from the ferry
    A Kraken was near-by
    In an ink filled water wave
    He moaned as shots did fly
    We quickly sailed away

    Ring those bells, Ring those bells
    Ring them all the way
    Oh what fun it is to play
    On Sea of Thieves today, hey
    Ring those bells, Ring those bells
    Ring them all the way
    Oh what fun it is to play
    On Sea of Thieves today, hey

    A player joins our crew
    Thought he'd be a thief
    Our chest in water threw
    Only here to grief
    We put him in the brig
    Polite words were then passed
    Never be that kind of pirate
    I hope he was the last !

    Ring those bells, Ring those bells
    Ring them all the way
    Oh what fun it is to play
    On Sea of Thieves today, hey
    Ring those bells, Ring those bells
    Ring them all the way
    Oh what fun it is to play
    On Sea of Thieves today, hey

  • Sailing through the sea
    In a one man open sloop
    O'er the waves we go
    Cashing in all the way
    Bells in crow’s nest ring
    Making pirates spirits bright
    What fun it is to sail and sing
    A pirate song tonight oh
    Kegs explode
    Megs attack
    Kraken is in the way
    Oh what fun it is to sail
    In a one man open sloop!

  • Just popping this up for the fun of it. ( Not an entry )
    Really enjoying this thread.... :)

    Ship bells ring
    are you listening
    in the snow
    the sloop is glistening
    A beautiful sight
    we're happy tonight
    Sailing in a winter wonderland

    Gone away are the seabirds
    here to stay is a snowbird
    Pirates sing a shanty song
    as we go along
    Sailing in a winter wonderland

    At Crooks Hollow we can build a snowman
    Then pretend that he is Nicholas Brown*
    He'll say: Are you a Legend?
    I'll say: No man
    But I'll rank up later
    when you're around

    Later on
    we'll plot & conspire
    as we dream by the tavern fire
    To face unafraid
    the plans that we've made
    Sailing in a winter wonderland

    .....& it goes on, I ran out of creative juices :)

    *Nicholas Brown - Pirate

  • O skellie fort, o skellie fort
    How wicked are thy spires
    O skellie fort, o skellie fort
    How wicked are thy spires

    Your cannons cold in quiet skies
    Send ships to hell 'neath fiery eyes
    O skellie fort, a fortress foul
    How wicked are thy spires

    (Spoken:)
    Let us all r'member
    In our death-dealin' and bloodlust
    With our hearty crews and scurvy foes
    The real an' true meaning o' the sacred Code
    The glory o' loot an' plunder, a pirate's life for us!

    O skellie fort, o skellie fort
    Such treasure do ye bring me
    O skellie fort, o skellie fort
    Such treasure do ye bring me

    The cap'n's blood me cutlass spills
    An' heaps o' gold, me purse it fills
    O' skellie fort, o skellie fort
    Such treasure do ye bring me

    I raise me grog to thee!

  • @piratecraggy Oh it's definitely an entry Craggy! Too good not to be!

    ”Sailing Home For Christmas” – by Pirate Chris Rea-Admiral

    Now that's epic!!! Seriously good, loving all of these.... a pretty creative lot we are :)

  • Karen the Kraken
    Was a jolly angry beast
    With a chilling roar
    And an inky pool
    Your ship becomes a feast

    Karen the Kraken
    Makes the pirates cry and wail
    She'll lift them right up high
    Into the sky
    So they can't repair or bail

    There must have been some treasure
    In the last few boats she smote
    For when you blast her feelers
    Sometimes loot begins to float

    Karen the Kraken
    Let the sloops go on their way
    But when the fog rolled in
    And with a beaky grin
    These too became her prey

    Karen the Kraken
    Perhaps she wants to be your chum
    It's just her hug's too strong
    And her approach all wrong
    She'd just like to share a rum

    Thumpity, thump, thump
    Thumpity, thump, thump
    Look at Karen go

    Thumpity, thump, thump
    Thumpity, thump, thump
    Pulling ships deep down below...

  • The fairytale of SOT

    (To be sung in the style of a drunk irishman)

    It was christmas eve again
    At the outpost
    And duke he said to me
    Go get some treasure son

    An then he sang a song
    With that squeezebox tune
    I turned my face away
    And dreamed about loot

    Got on a lucky one
    Sunk a brig of noobs for fun
    I got a feelin
    Their loot's for you and me

    So happy christmas
    I love sloops baby
    I can see a better time
    When forts are easy too
    (Annoying musical build up)

    They got masts that are vast
    And chests laden with gold
    When the wind blows right through you
    Your sails get blowed
    When you first took my wheel on a cold winters eve
    You promised me PL was waiting for me

    Youre handsome, youre pretty
    Though your pvp's quite s####y
    When the noob finished playing
    We brigged them for sure

    The palm trees were swaying
    And the legends were saying
    Where is the content -
    Oh what a bore

    The boys on the xbox console stood calling for the day
    That the pc players would move servers and go away!

  • @nikjw

    "The fairytale of SOT"

    Brilliant!, you are a legend. I certainly doff my cap.
    It's constantly on the radio, your version has for me ... well... made it more bearable.
    Genius!

    Edit: Btw.... double doffing of hat, I'm that drunk Irishman.
    It's only a glass of wine :)

  • @piratecraggy its always the first sign of xmas when on about 30th November your in the car with the radio on and all of a sudden 'it was chriiiiistmas eve baaabe' osmoses through the speakers polluting the ear drums!!

    And the name makes sense now you say your irish!

  • @nikjw said in COMMUNITY COMPETITION Sea of Thieves Festive Carols:

    And the name makes sense now you say your irish!

    Father Ted ..fan... I'm Irish.. the name had to happen! :)
    Yip... like Bushmills Whiskey... 100% proof... lol

    edit: I had the pleasure, around 15 years back to bump into Shane MacGowan of the Pogues in the Harp Bar Dublin.
    It's a night I (and probably him) don't much remember, but I did spill his Pint. :)

  • Here come skeletons
    Here come skeletons
    Running down Smuggler's Bay
    They've got a blunderbuss
    Rifle & pistol
    Slashing from every which way
    Bombs are bursting
    Ferry mates cursing
    Oh what a terrible sight
    So watch your ladders & your backs
    'Cause from skeletons there's nowhere to hide!
