What's up with the humans in the Pirate-y Spiral... or lack thereof?

There are lots and lots of human children... thousands of "orphans". But human adults? Avery. Boochbeard. Vadima. Selena. Zeke and and handful of others. Suspiciously few, given how many human kids are running about.

Why are there no older orphans? We all appear to be the same age.

Has anyone else noticed that pretty all the skeletons appear to be (or rather have been) human?! Is skelefication our fate once we reach a certain age?!!

Sometimes I wonder if this is all just a secret corner for Avery who is really Fagan and is molding his own nation of pirates/pickpockets. Now just to figure out who Nancy and Bill are. (Yea I know they are mentioned in Marleybone)

I think there all in there houses, or off on an adventure, just because we don't see them doesn't mean it doesn't exist (like many species of living things we never knew about) and yes skelefication is our fate, that's when we completely decompose after we die

I think the bigger question, Indigo, is how is it that these young pirates each are the pivotal individual that has enabled a Skull Island alliance with Monquista (yay), helped Gortez' revolution overthrow an evil ruler (yay), caused a great deal of havoc with the Armada (yay), started the War between Marleybone and Valencia (boo), stopped the rise of evil warlords in Mooshu (yay), helped Ulysses the Cunning to regain his home and throne of Ithaca again (yay)... etc. etc. And each is the one that Kane has a poster of hanging in his office to throw darts at in his spare time (if a living automata has spare time).

What we have here seems to be a space-time paradox of Physics! Some sort of time rift that allows the separate universes to converge in Skull Island at various moments perhaps? Hahaha...

Sparticus: "...and yes skelefication is our fate, that's when we completely decompose after we die".

True, but it is the bit about getting back up and wandering around and beating up on all the one-eyed orphans after the death and decomposition stage that has me concerned.

It was ME!!!!!!

Anyways,just wanted to pitch into the whole eyepatch thing.

I tend not to wear eyepatches much,and when I do,I wear the Eye of the Sun,from the Tribal Crew Packs.That eyepatch is basically a green jewel that covers my eye.And I don't think it's meant to cover up my eye(which I do not lack),i think it's purpose is to amplify Felix's clairovoyance.

I think that the jewel is meant to improve the ''Inner vision'',the ''magical sight'',the ''living imagination'',whatever you kids call it these days.The ability to see and hear(even smell) spirits clearly,the ability to scry into the past,present and future,onto other worlds,other planes,and outside this reality.The ability to be in two places at once,as well as travel outside of the body,onto higher planes.That requires effort,sure,but it also requires the development of magical sight.Which of course,is amplified by an ancient Skull Island Aztecosaur relic that I happened to find and place over my normal vision,to make sure the two are assimilated.

Thanks One Eyed Jack and Bonnie Anne for reading,moderating and posting this message board post.

Indigo,my earlier message was directed at another thread you made and thus it ended up non-sensical.So so so so so so sorry Jack,and Bonnie.
It was directed at your ''kingdom of the Blind'' thread.

Will have to think on my reply to this one.

Thank you,One Eyed Jack and Bonnie Anne for reading,moderating and posting this useless announcement.You guys are awesome!

That's some tough paper for the poster, if it takes an entire army of battle angels to shred it.

Perhaps as we age we are assimilated into the clockwork army. Perhaps they're not clockworks, but cyborgs...

Though you are talking to the person who, knowing full well that Ratbeard was just making a little joke, sat up late at night rearranging the letters of El Bandito Incognito pretending it was an anagram for further absurdities...

That's smart,we need more people who can do that.

Ultimately this is the fishier side of Quantum Mechanics.If you're gonna believe Parallel universes,s in the Many Worlds Hypothesis,then you can't explain this message boards,nor can you explain those roleplays,because those two universes would co-exist,but never interact,except the original state where both realities are intertwined.In your frame of reference,a certain pirate did all those things,and that pirate turns out to be you.In my frame of reference a certain pirate happens to be me.Who is this pirate?Well it's all of us.But if we investigate specifically,each one of us is the pirate,from their frame of reference.And from an NPCs frame of reference it's a pirate.It's all of us.

scientists say (if there are) parallel universes they would be on top of others like layers of fabric. probably due to the gravity which planets and stars sink in (like stuff on fabric) but that's what i think i forgot what they said. and its a game, try not to think to hard about it

You are right, of course, Sparticus (er, more properly Jack, I think, if I remember correctly), and this sort of playful speculation is simply all in good, clean fun. We're not expecting Pirate101 to follow the rules of Quantum Physics (whatever those are ), not even good ole Newtonian Physics! After all, where would all our great flips in air be if we strictly followed the Law of gravity?

Somehow, I knew another of these wierd posts that seem to encompass almost anything would eventually be started by Indigo.

Anways, perhaps somewhere out on the very rim of the Spiral, there's a world filled entirely by humans. Hopefully, the humans don't have the same vision trouble we pirates seem to have. Since we all seem to lack a bit of depth perception, I could understand why most adult humans would tend to stay on their own homeworld.

"No, no ,no! All of you are absolutely wrong" * Esperanza stamps her foot* "The heroic orphan is me! This should be obvious to anyone!"
Bold Bess Nightingale "Belay that, Miss Fancy Pants, I'm the Chosen One!"
Black Morgan Moone "Not a chance, You grimy galoot! I did all that!"
Darcy Abbott "Oh, stop shooting yer mouth off! I'm Avery's right hand orphan!"
Marion Kidd "As senior officer, I tell you that I'm the heroine here!"
