This story and plot are really developing now Gus - would it be OK for me to split this thread into story posts and comment posts? It might be easier for people to follow the action, which is really hotting up, with eight different characters, not counting Frenum and Sir Elmo the cat.
Hello, Martin 
I'll begin from the end. I'd like to maintain these posts connected still a bit longer. However, I did post an "index" and eventually, maybe I will put on a blog like I did with Elmo & Fletcher ... I'm willing to put all the playmostories in the same blog, though, & this is why I've been waiting to make posts on pirates there. But for the moment, I'd like to maintain these parts of the map plot in the same thread. Maybe, if I come to see that it goes uncomfortable in the future, I'll may ask your help on this.Thanks for the suggestion, though. I'd like to hear other
playmofriends ideas on how the story is running for readers, so as to make it better to be read
, but it seems that they're either enjoying or passing by without taking attention to them. (At least I've had feedback from
Anne &
Gordon, who are enjoying the stories --
Gordon likes
Elmo & Fletcher more, up till now ... Let's see if it keeps like this
... &
you, who seems to be liking these
pirate plots better, aye?
)
Anyway, the index is in the News board, link below.
& The hint is to open and read all the first story before, and, after that, open the second, read it all along, and after that, open the third one. If someone opens the third before his/her computer having loaded down the pictures above, he (or she) will have a bit of awkward feeling that the story is running away: it's because the computer is loading down all the pictures of how many may be the stories above, so, it'll slip down, and down, until it's complete. But, if you open the first first, the second after the first, & the third after the two before, it doesn't happen, and the index works out perfectly. (I have to put this info in the blog, because the same happens with the "Fletcher's New Place" plotline, which is all along one same thread.So,
"Pirates Stories" Index, in the News board:
http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2489.msg28142#msg28142I'm making this as an experiment, so, before doing any splitting episodes, I'd like to hear from other playmofriends, what they think. But thanks again for the suggestion. I'll keep it in my thoughts.[Ooops!!! Got it wrong what you said once again,
Martin ... Sorry, not the first time it happens ... Lack of attention in the reading, as well as reading to fast. I shouldn't do that!
So, let me go into this again, from the beginning:

If you have the pacience of splitting the whole thing in an uninterrupted storyline & a commentaries thread apart, it'd be great for the exact reason you spotted! ...
So, if you can, do it please!
I'll be very happy about it, as well as the readers, I believe! (Starting by you, who like to comment on them
) / G.

I like the use of the mirror as stage dressing, and the marble table - you do very well with your props and backgrounds. I also like the klicky eye-level view, puts the viewer in amongst the action.
ON STAGE MATTERS
It's
GREAT to use my (very small) mirror as a playmomirror, because it's like a giant mirror in a rich gentleman's house
... (& Its colour quite helps, don't you think?
)
Concerning the "marble table", it was quite a luck that I came by it, when I moved, recently, but, as soon as I spotted it, I thought "hm!!!: table!!!
". & It did came out nicely, I love it too.
EVEN with the bad ("hypermetropic") eyesight (focus) of my poor camera, it's possible to see some of the reflex of the klickys on the table ... That effect made me really happy, & surprised
! (Specially because of the poor condition of the camera that I'm using here ...)
More on the "camera topic" in the Little Theatre thread, http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2490.msg28178#msg28178
I have a feeling that Aubrey, Joe and Gus will have more problems before they take delivery of their boats.
Glad they got through this meeting without bloodshed, it was touch and go there for a while.
Now I go through all three parts of the map story, I see it was Italian Bart eavesdropping on Aubrey's conversation with Joe - I missed that before.
So Dan Davies is going to"acquire" a couple of boats for Aubrey, Joe and Gus, but Jim and Italian Bart are likely to throw a spanner in the works somehow.
ON PLOT
No worries here, Playmofriends : I'm not telling either the end or even the sequencing of the plot It's actually HIGHLY classified to any writer who worries about his own reputation! 
It's great that you noticed that it was Italian Bart evesdropping Joe & Aubrey, in the first part ... It was!
Be prepared for more characters, by the way ...
Someone's been sending a lot o' pirates ... 'Have to use them all!
They ALL have names already, and I'm making plots like crazy, so as to see how to better introduce each
(
'Love the job!!!
)
The pirates stories are full of details. If there's anything
you don't understand
(& it's worthed to all Playmofriends! ), do tell me. It might be obscure, here & there, however, there's a lot of things to happen, so :
Thanks for posting a feedback,
Martin!
It helps a lot!
Gus
