For one thing, pirates are not OOP. We've had this discussion several times
in fact. What *is* OOP is the image you conjour up when you think of the
word Pirate... the hollywood stereotype, or the late Golden Age of Piracy
Pirate. Early Golden Age (1560 on) and such are not OOP. Ever since man
first decided to build a raft and cross the water, other men have found a
way to raid said raft. Then dugout canoes... boats... ships... etc. Ever
since water travel has been feasable, men have found a way to exploit the
possibilities of financial gain via piracy. It's just that it wasn't
neccesarily "called" piracy in the days of ancient egypt, greece, etc.
And it's not that people have the big problem with
semi-fantasy/legend-related personas. It's that certain people want to throw
a fit about what they think shouldn't be allowed in their idea of what the
SCA should be... that's the blunt and to the point answer. I haven't found a
single person that singles out gypsy personas or picts... and only the rare
ninja.
