Modern Pirates – a real life RPG inspiration
Wired.com have printed an interview with a Somali pirate, asking all sorts of questions about they whys and hows of modern Pirating…
How are the pirates organized? (Are there pirate leaders, financiers, and specialists?)
The financiers are the most important since they organize and plan the big shot operations and are able to pay running cost[s]. Financiers always need to forge deals with traders, land cruiser owners, translators, business people to keep the supplies flowing during operations and manage the logistics. There is a long supply chain involved in every hijacking.
Pretty interesting stuff and it has all sorts of applications – for modern games obviously, but also for any other game. How do you orgnaise getting rid of that loot? It doesn’t have to be as easy as going down town and selling it off.
Arrrr – what is the wolrd coming to me hearties?
When dress up pirates’ play times are affected by events off the Horn of Africa.
Poor dears.
