In the interests of not putting all my eggs in one basket, I shall Elect: Zaccino, and later bribe TinCow for the position of Three Eighths Mate if he wins.

They could also go the musical route and add names to the group, like TinCow and the Four Horsemen. However, that kind of system would probably not work well as the Four Horsemen would inherently have to take the place of the backup band, which I doubt they'd appreciate. Plus, I can't sing. Alternatively, they could just go the classic corporate route and have positions like Assistant, Deputy Assistant, Deputy Undersecretary, and Assistant to the Senior Deputy Undersecretary. In fact, each Horseman could have an entire staff of his or her own, just append 'Department of Pestilence,' et al. to the aforementioned titles.
With this post, you have just proved you are only a 'lawyer' and not a 'pirate lawyer'. The pirate lawyer response would be to say "Arrr, me client said walk the plank." Then shove a cutlass up my behind.
Elect: TinCow
I'll give 20 gold for the position of first mate, Tin.
Elect: Jolt
El Barto 02:56 09-27-2012

I expect to see a redrafting of this, or I shall contact my nearest Pirate lawyer.
Ye can join their pairty wivou' ye becoming a horseman, mate. What good would a horse do on board, but increase expenses from feeding it?

Pfft... What kind of a Pirate needs to buy votes? I'm
selling positions, like any good pirate should. The only money I'm giving up is for the death of Monty over there, who sounds more like some kind of Dredded Judge than a pirate. Payment for murder is honest pirate work. Payment for votes is
politician work. Who in the hells wants to vote for a
politician?
Montmorency 03:37 09-27-2012
Taking 25 gold, payable in daily allotments of 4 gold, to participate in the keelhauling of Montmorency.

This bain't a bad proposition. We needs three others to complete this bargain, unless ye yerself be ready to take on such a burthen and only two are needed. Ye'd be a-saving money, savvy?
Diana Abnoba 04:02 09-27-2012
How much again will you be paying, TinCow for Monty's murder?
Montmorency 04:04 09-27-2012
There's nothing a group of townies can't accomplish when its members work together.
Well, besides killing a godfather.

Wenches on board

It seems like the savage Askthepizzaguy isn't aware of the concept
luxury cruise.
That's right, comrades, I offer you luxury! No more having to sit near a stinking ATPG who smells like a combination of old garlic, rotten tomatoes and questionable pepperoni and sausages! I offer you luxury cabines! For each man his own sauna, his jacuzzi, 10 showers and 5 seperate bathrooms for his wenches and a cell to lock up his wenches in case he wants to enjoy rest and piece! This entire ship will be turned into a giant paradise of luxury and pleasure and everything a modern pirate of refined tastes requires! And entertaining executions that will even be entertaining and fun for the lad walking the plank!
Elect Andres and you'll enjoy a trip like you've never had before!
Champagne, beer and RUM!

YARRR THAT SOUNDS LONELY
Elect Tincow, and I promise you all that you'll each have a turn washing me back!
I wouldn't lie about that sort of thing. Come on now, who wants to soap me up first?

TinCow will probably just take all your gold, then he'll use it to buy the entire ship minus 10 square meters, turn it into a luxury resort where he'll reside (secretly together with 10 gorgeous looking wenches which he won't share). The rest of us will have to live on the remaining 10 square meters which will be, coincidentally and highly unfortunately, situated just outside the ship. He'll blame that on the guy who did the measurements.
