I expect to see a redrafting of this, or I shall contact my nearest Pirate lawyer.

As the resident Pirate Lawyer, I do feel the need to point out that the Four Horsemen could recruit without becoming the Five Horsemen. The additional personages could simply be given other titles. The classic example would be, of course, the Three Musketeers, which was actually a quartet since d'Artagnan always seemed to show up wherever they went, but wasn't technically a Musketeer. 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.

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?
