I have been told I am too negative and hostile towards privateers. So, to all of you out there, if my shitposts have offended you, I humbly apologise. I honestly didn’t think you could read.

Are you more of a pirate or a privateer? Take this quiz to find out!
What is ye stance on England?
a. the only good Englishman is one skewered on the end of my sword! b. if king George wanted me to eat his boot I would do so willingly c. Well I mean the taxes could be lower...
What is ye stance on Spain? 
a. the same as England  b. they are enemies of the English and thus must perish c. Idk, do they have better taxes than England?
What is ye preferred ship?
a. A sloop! They’re light and manoeuvrable, giving the advantage in a chase. Or maybe a fighting ship if I want more cannon power b. I am content with whatever his majesty sees fit to give me, even if it is only a ill equipped bathtub :) c. Ship? What would I want with a ship?
What is ye port of call?
a. Nassau or Port Royal are where I make berth! b. Any town with a strong patriotic feeling for the English is where I feel most at home.  c. Port? I prefer whiskey myself...
What do you do with all ye stolen loot?
a. Whatever I want! I can spend it on drink or perhaps another ship. Gotta start building me fleet! b. Give most of it to King George to fritter away and if there’s any left I’ll hopefully be able to pay my taxes c. Stolen loot? Goodness me no, where would I get that?
What is the hierarchy aboard ye ship? 
a. A democracy, where every man gets an equal say and an equal pay. As captain I expect no special favours and my word is only law in battle.  b. I am the captain and what I say goes! Pay? They get bed and board under my employment, what else do they need? They’d just piss money away on drink anyway c. What does “hierarchy” mean?
IF YOU GOT MOSTLY A’s
Good news me hearty! Ye be a pirate through and through. Being tied to a imperial capitalistic monarchy isn't for ye, as ye belong only to yourself until the sea makes its claim. You steal only for yourself and ye crew, and ye have a damn fine time doing it too! Also, you’re probably gay :D
IF YOU GOT MOSTLY B’s
I’m really sorry, I don't know how to break it to you but... you’re a privateer. My sincere condolences and I hope you get better soon. 
IF YOU GOT MOSTLY C’s
I’m afraid ye be a landlubber my friend! I wish ye luck with ye taxes.

Not to be dramatic but if I see one more person refer to “the pirate Edward Teach who was one of the most famous privateers of the buccaneering age” one more time I will simply die
