So, intrepid crew? There are 9 of us here. That means we get 18 words.
Let's start planning.
OrlaBOT27-Jan-22 08:47 PM
What kind of things do you think we’ll need for what we have planned?
James PondBOT27-Jan-22 08:47 PM
material to make boat
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 08:47 PM
Goods and services
Yes
OrlaBOT27-Jan-22 08:47 PM
I’m not versed in trade centres
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 08:48 PM
Well, we have a lot to work with.
Let's think.
We want this to be an airship. We also want it to be a trade center. Those are our main two requirements, yes? Anything else is secondary, or personal.
OrlaBOT27-Jan-22 08:51 PM
Sounds right, yeah
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 08:51 PM
Hey! That went well, eh?
Time to get to work, I suppose.
OrlaBOT27-Jan-22 08:51 PM
Do you think we could get all our requirements in 9 words? That way, everyone could have something personal
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 08:52 PM
We Partake in a High of Five
stretches hand
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 08:53 PM
I dunno, that sounds wayyy too little!
Enthusiastically high-fives!
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 08:53 PM
Yes
James PondBOT27-Jan-22 08:54 PM
what are you doing with your mouth
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 08:54 PM
I'm am porgging
Pogeing
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 08:55 PM
Never quite understood how some fellas can do that!
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 08:56 PM
But yes
Wordse
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 08:56 PM
Aaanyway, what ideas do we have in mind for our ship? I was thinkin' something like my old hunk 'a metal.
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 08:56 PM
You know what word this ship would need?
Ale!
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 08:57 PM
Hah!
I'm underage!
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 08:57 PM
We can also sell
Yes
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 08:57 PM
...I think?
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 08:57 PM
...Eh, they always start off young.
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 08:57 PM
I dunno actually... How exactly do bird years convert?
James PondBOT27-Jan-22 08:58 PM
how do you do it.
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 08:59 PM
Quagsire, that's amazing!
OrlaBOT27-Jan-22 08:59 PM
If we’re selling ale, would that make us more of a tavern?
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 08:59 PM
I'm all for that, heh!
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 08:59 PM
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 08:59 PM
I'd get discounts, right?
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 08:59 PM
Like This
It's easy if try
OrlaBOT27-Jan-22 08:59 PM
If we’re selling, I don’t see why not
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 09:00 PM
How about
We all make up word on own then we post here and can change if something we still need
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 09:00 PM
Sounds good to me!
James PondBOT27-Jan-22 09:00 PM
Can I try.
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 09:00 PM
Yes
Please Try
James PondBOT27-Jan-22 09:01 PM
Oh mein gott
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 09:01 PM
Congratulatations
Congralations
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:01 PM
hm hold on
OrlaBOT27-Jan-22 09:01 PM
That sounds good.
James PondBOT27-Jan-22 09:01 PM
I do this forever now thanks yous
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 09:01 PM
You am welcome
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:02 PM
These designs have always worked solidly
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 09:02 PM
The dildo design
Yes
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:02 PM
(yes of course I have airship designs on standby)
What
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 09:02 PM
Balloons?
Don't these pop easily?
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:03 PM
No?
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 09:03 PM
(Idk ask him )(edited)
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:03 PM
It depends on the material used to contain
flimsy rubber of course would pop at the first opportunity
Use something more sturdy and you get a solid airship
James PondBOT27-Jan-22 09:04 PM
big metal crate
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:05 PM
Dodo's design is literally no different
this is just an actual cargo design
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 09:05 PM
Either Sound Good
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:05 PM
A blimp, essentially.
QuagsireBOT27-Jan-22 09:05 PM
No preferencing
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:05 PM
Yes Entrapta, A blimp
or for the more sophisticated, A zeppelin
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 09:07 PM
Never heard these words before, but that sounds neat!
How's it gonna move?
Sails?
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:07 PM
Propellers work fine(edited)
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:08 PM
Well, typically, the hot air inside of the balloon keeps it afloat. Then there's typically some kind of method of propulsion - like propellers, yes - to keep it moving.
James PondBOT27-Jan-22 09:08 PM
i can propel the ship i have cool turny fins
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:10 PM
However, my suggestion is that a blimp design may be too unwieldy. After all - it's a zeppelin. If the balloon is popped, there go a great deal of our advantages - so I'd like to ask about some kind of other method of getting up in the air...?
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 09:11 PM
Uh, what are these propeller things?
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:22 PM
It’s a bunch of fins angle to push the air in a certain direction while they spin
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 09:25 PM
Oh, I see!
Couldn't we have it push the ship up too?
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:26 PM
Well yes but one large advantage of buoyancy is that we don’t have to constantly maintain it as much
A propeller or engine requires constant, high power to keep running
A propeller fails? The entire ship tumbles down
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:31 PM
That would be the same case with a ballooooooooon!
If one sharp object penetrates the balloon, we'd be set for the ocean.
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:32 PM
Yes but it would fall evenly so we don’t sink down
You know
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:32 PM
We would be covered by the balloon.
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:32 PM
Maybe this airship idea wasn’t that good of an idea
Hm
Physics are a bitch and I doubt we have access to audiotechnics here
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:34 PM
Maybe we're thinking too hard...?
We can pick any word.
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 09:35 PM
I'll leave the flyin' thing to you smart peeps.
I'm goin' to think about the merchant side.
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:35 PM
I'm dedicating one of my words to my laboratory, but the other I'm willing to use for whatever.
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:36 PM
We will need a central engine to power the propellers
Or if we use our creative liberty
A form of reactor
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:37 PM
Ahh... silly horsie.
Why don't we just use what's at our disposal?
Wind turbines, solar panels - natural power.
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:37 PM
Because when a reactor blows itself to smithereens it’s a lot more exciting
[ @Dirty Spaceman pinning privileges again please]
1
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 09:45 PM
Well, if both a propeller and a balloon are too risky, why not just have a backup?
We could try to go for both, or... we could see if we might be able to incorporate some sorta glider as a backup, so we at least won't crash and burn if somethin' goes wrong.
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:48 PM
The zepellin design I gave literally has wings
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:49 PM
I'd personally prefer thrusters, myself!
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:49 PM
Thrusters don’t last as long and fuel takes up quite a lot of valuable weight and space
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 09:49 PM
Gotta agree there.
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:49 PM
That's a fair point of view.
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:50 PM
The mass is an important part of the equation here
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 09:50 PM
...Actually, gliders in general might be a good call - makes for easy dis-boarding the ship!
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:50 PM
Since we are flying we are putting our faith in a million little parts to not send us to a watery grave
The DodoBOT27-Jan-22 09:50 PM
Then one 'a us can just bring a buncha rope so we can get back on.
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:51 PM
Back at home turbines and thrusters are quite fallible
IanisBOT27-Jan-22 09:51 PM
I'mma see what's down there.
EntraptaBOT27-Jan-22 09:51 PM
Not where I'm from! They're the most reliable method of transportation I know of!
Ceres LeadbowBOT27-Jan-22 09:52 PM
They’re not a fan of the volcanic ash pouring down constantly
I'm considering my second word. Couldn't we just put "airship"?
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 01:27 PM
Don't think will be as easy as 1 word for 1 person
Prone to backfire
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 01:32 PM
So we'll need more detail to accurately describe what we want our ship to be.Amazing.
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 01:50 PM
What we need to fly
All separate word
Popstarian/JSalaBOT28-Jan-22 01:51 PM
(I will say that the base image can be used to communicate a general form for your vessel)
(Functionalities and the such might need specific words)
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 01:53 PM
We need presumably the following:
A way to keep up floating in the air (such as a balloon, wings, thrusters)
A method of propulsion (such as an engine, propellers; and again, thrusters)
Potentially fuel for the more advanced methods of aerial transportation(edited)
[that helps, thanks pop]
I'm willing to provide one of the three items I just said, but others on this crew are going to have to do some lifting word-wise too.
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 02:04 PM
(Yall need someone to make a visual?)
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 02:12 PM
[maybe??? we'll see]
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 03:26 PM
I can provide
Propellors and engines
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 03:29 PM
I guess I'll give us some fuel, then!
IanisBOT28-Jan-22 03:30 PM
Hm...
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 03:30 PM
Are we planning on using the propellors to stay up in the sky like...
IanisBOT28-Jan-22 03:30 PM
I was thinkin' on giving this thing some Ale! But, uh, I can't think of anythin' else for the second word...
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 03:30 PM
Ack, I know the Horde has these...
..a helicopter?
Well, we still need to actually have a storefront to be a center of trade, correct?
That would be an excellent addition - that, or some kind of drinking establishment; like a restaurant, bar or pub.
IanisBOT28-Jan-22 03:33 PM
I'm all for a pub!
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 03:38 PM
Then that seems like a good plan!
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 03:40 PM
Would Like
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 03:44 PM
I'm not asking if you would like a helicopter, Quagsire - although... Entrapta appears to be thinking. I wouldn't mind having one, for the record!
Entrapta makes a seat out of her twintails. I was asking if we were going to be using the propellers to lift the ship up like a helicopter - it seems like an efficient method, right? We'd probably need a lot of propellers, though.
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 03:45 PM
Yes many
Plus balloon?
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 03:45 PM
hmmm
IanisBOT28-Jan-22 03:46 PM
Hey, this thing's gonna have lifeboats, right?
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 03:46 PM
Would this sort of design function?
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 03:46 PM
Hm... if we have the propellers as a back up, I feel much less reluctant about a balloon - so sure!
IanisBOT28-Jan-22 03:46 PM
Or... life... copters? Is that how that'd be called?
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 03:46 PM
Oh, this looks perfect!
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 03:47 PM
It should be able to land in case we have to, I have not heard of any landing in the ocean
Then again I also have not heard of any not landing in the ocean
IanisBOT28-Jan-22 03:47 PM
I guess this is the moment where I find out if I'm afraid of heights or not...
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 04:25 PM
(uh, is someone not in this chat)
(oh they're downstairs nvm)
The DodoBOT28-Jan-22 04:25 PM
(yeah they're in the sub area)
(lol)
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 04:26 PM
Who haven't word
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 04:27 PM
I've just put my words in. Second word is fuel.
The DodoBOT28-Jan-22 04:28 PM
Ey, I'm sure you'll be fine! You're a mighty shark, conquerer of the sea! Why not add the sky to your repertoire?
4 more to go - although the final one is Quagsire, our intrepid co-captain!
MaerkBOT28-Jan-22 04:41 PM
Nice pun it was pretty cool
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 04:41 PM
Wait, wh- haha! I see it. It wasn't intended, but thank you.
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 04:42 PM
I wait to see gaps
So I fill
Yes
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 04:44 PM
I feel like what we need the most, right now - are the engine and propellers. Nobody's really decided to pick one of those as a word, yet.
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 04:44 PM
Then I pick those at end
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 04:44 PM
That's fair!
OrlaBOT28-Jan-22 04:45 PM
I do, I was thinking strongroom and weaponry. We’re gonna need a place to store the money, and in the case of a robbery, we’re going to need to defend ourselves.
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 04:45 PM
I still like idea of clawshots
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 04:46 PM
Hm, that's a fair point. Somebody's going to need to handle the finances.
OrlaBOT28-Jan-22 04:47 PM
I could change weaponry to claw shot, if you’d like. It’s a weapon either way
The DodoBOT28-Jan-22 04:47 PM
Yeah! I completely agree. Somethin' like a grappling hook, a clawshot... Really makes sense, ya know?
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 04:47 PM
You can trap enemies and rescue allies
Non-violent
But Defensive
OrlaBOT28-Jan-22 04:48 PM
Alright, I’ll change it in that case
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 04:48 PM
I guess we're just waiting on Sea Hawk and James Pond, then.
I remember that James hasn't really thought of a word yet... hopefully he'll have come up with something soon.
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 04:50 PM
Notice we do not have goods and commodities at moment yet
Maybe they can do
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 04:51 PM
At the moment, we're working off of the ale we have in the pub. That's at least a foundation for financial gain.
James PondBOT28-Jan-22 04:51 PM
can my word be swag
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 04:51 PM
If Only Good Then Not a Lot
If swag mean merchandise
Sea HawkBOT28-Jan-22 04:58 PM
My word? ADVENTURE!
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 04:58 PM
What that do to ship
Word about ship
Two
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 05:01 PM
You get two words!
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 05:01 PM
About Ship
Yes
What if submit propellors and market to be just safe
James PondBOT28-Jan-22 05:07 PM
Yyes merchandise. of me
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 05:08 PM
That might be a good idea at this point!
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 05:11 PM
Market above or below
Still like ship name of SS Ky
Funny pun
MaerkBOT28-Jan-22 05:12 PM
It should be above so other people can go to it more easily
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 05:12 PM
Okaye
Okey
I go with rotors instead of propellers helicopter terminology
The DodoBOT28-Jan-22 05:16 PM
Great!
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 06:13 PM
Anyone have other name for ship want share
The DodoBOT28-Jan-22 06:14 PM
...Hmm, a name?
How's about...
SS Ky?
Hehe!
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 06:15 PM
Hey
That's Pretty Goode
The DodoBOT28-Jan-22 06:15 PM
I think so too!
Sounds like the kinda name only a genius would come up with, yeah?
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 06:16 PM
Perhaps
You are smart
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 06:17 PM
I'm good with the SS Ky!
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 06:19 PM
Hope Two Other Can Think More Word
Otherwise wonder what happen
Balanced hopefully
Yes
IanisBOT28-Jan-22 06:21 PM
The name sounds good to me!
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 06:22 PM
I'm not sure if they'll respond before the time to build our ship ends...
[@Dirty Spaceman do you have a plan for what happens if members of our crew just end up providing a single word - or no words at all?]
IanisBOT28-Jan-22 06:24 PM
(i'm sure they'll give them more time)
(there's going to be an entire week after this)
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 06:25 PM
[yeah that was my thought they could just submit during the design phase]
[but u never know]
The DodoBOT28-Jan-22 06:36 PM
whelp, if they need any words, I hope they can choose something to do with supplies or stuff to sell!
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 06:38 PM
Yeah!
Wait - do we have an engine...?
It appears nobody has put down engine as a word.
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 06:41 PM
Perhaps engine instead of fuel
Fuel is implied
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 06:43 PM
That's true...
I changed it! Let's hope we stay afloat!
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:09 PM
Hm. What about The Roc?
Putting any abbreviations infront implies we aren’t independent or neutral
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 07:10 PM
Is that how works
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:10 PM
Yes
The DodoBOT28-Jan-22 07:10 PM
...Seriously?
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 07:10 PM
Thought SS just mean ship name
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 07:10 PM
I don't think that's how it works...?
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:10 PM
Yes have none of you sailed before?
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 07:11 PM
I thought it meant something different.
The DodoBOT28-Jan-22 07:11 PM
I mean, not quite legally...
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:11 PM
We’re pirates we don’t use abbreviations
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 07:12 PM
From what I remember, it stands for "screw steamer"... which is a classification of steamship.
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 07:12 PM
Yes
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:12 PM
Well yeah but the only reason to use that is if we are in a larger organization, which we aren’t
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 07:12 PM
It has nothing to do with any kind of allegiance, according to my logs.
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:12 PM
And also we’re not a steam ship
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 07:12 PM
That's true, we're not a steamship.
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:12 PM
That’s quite obvious
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 07:13 PM
You're thinking of HMS
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:13 PM
Am i?
Oh well
Either way abbreviations are for nerds
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 07:14 PM
It say propellor too and we kinda have
So sorta work
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 07:14 PM
And we have an engine... the aesthetics of the pun are worth preserving, regardless!
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:15 PM
Ah yes
The ky
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 07:15 PM
Usually, ships like these that are propelled by engines have the prefix MV or MS.
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 07:16 PM
It pun
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 07:16 PM
The MS Ky kind of... works...?
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:16 PM
Yeah sure
EntraptaBOT28-Jan-22 07:16 PM
MS stands for "motor ship".
Ceres LeadbowBOT28-Jan-22 07:16 PM
At least stay accurate if you’re making a pun
QuagsireBOT28-Jan-22 07:16 PM
Okieye

The design plans have been submitted, and the construction crew will now begin their work. It should take about one week for your ship to be ready.
Until then, sit back and enjoy port life, for the voyage ahead will be long. Make sure you pack lots of rum.
See you then, noble crew of MS Kye!
