The Sultan Who Loved Sheep
Dec 17, 2015
One day Jimminez, the mighty Sultan of Faminto por Sangue came
to visit his harem, looking very sad and
dejected.
“I would like to pay tribute to me hearties the Black Sheep Brigade,” the Sultan replied.
Not THOSE Black Sheep!
“But what can I give them that they don’t already have?”
mused the Sultan. “They are some of the best
navigators and pillagers in the Midnight Ocean, they dress in
black & gold, they have MASSIVE piles of PoE and an
enormous ‘flet’…not to mention they’re completely insane.”
“Well my king,” said Bloodymarie, “many have long coveted yer most
prized possession…
perhaps offering the Sheep time with yer lovely
harem…”
“ARRRGG! An excellent idea!” cried Jimminez, “I shall let the BSB royals take their
portrait with which ever members of my harem they
choose.”
“But alas, ‘tis not a fitting enough tribute to King Stuysevant and his court, we must do more,”
worried the Sultan.
“I have heard Prince
Dustybottom tell tales of his big chest…perhaps he would donate it for our cause”
suggested Elfgirl.
Not THAT Chest!
“And I know that Dusty also likes to
show off his big stick,” winked
Gloriana.
NO! Not THAT Stick Either! Get yer mind out of the gutter!
Not THAT Stick!
“I think he should offer to
duel Prince Rummykins to pay homage to
skillz of the Sheep.”
Now that’s a Big Stick!
“While we can only make blue beds now, maybe someday – when the gods allow – we can
give him free labor at yer furnisher on the bed of his
dreams…”
“Wait!” cried Esperetta, “I would like to offer myself on a silver
platter, covered in cookies, pudding and peanut-butter cups for the
Sheep to feast upon.”

No REALLY, You don’t want to see it.
“Uh…that’s a fine idea Espy, yer sacrifice for
the good of the flag will be noted,” remarked
the Sultan as he shook his head and rolled his
eyes.
So the Sultan went to visit the Brigade, bearing with him gifts and offers of service. The Sheep were so impressed with the celebrated Famintos, they gifted the Sultan with the isle of Orca in reward.
The Sultan being humbled by such a generous gift, vowed to the Sheep, "In honor of yer generosity, I shall
establish the Faminto PvP League.”
“Every month on the isle of Orca, we will host a sinking
PvP sloop battle. We will create two perpetually
warring flags for this purpose – with crews named in honor
of the glubbing we guarantee: Titanic and
Lusitania.”
“Participants will pay a nominal fee to join the crews and man the
stations or navigate the ship in these themed contests. We will
provide the sloops, appropriately stocked with rum and shot.”
Brains vs. Brawn Great Taste vs. Less Filling
NKoTB vs. BSBHatfields vs. McCoys
“Pirates will either sink (and suffer potential maimings), or claim bragging rights in that
months challenge. We will make use of Orca’s monger for
supplies, and even provide for post boom-boom tournaments and access to commemorative
portraits on the island.”
Ceylon, the Sultan’s
favorite added, “My love, we could even
make the first contest a Black Sheep grudge
match…”
“…naming sloops after the most boisterous of
the BSB royals – Stuyvesant, Bendeall and Rummykins – and
letting them shoot each other til the ocean swallows them.”
“Aye Lady Cey,” beamed the Sultan, “we can have the ships named for the
crazy roommates battle it out first, then the winner will fight the Rummykins ship. And for the winning
ship’s namesake…”
“Ooooh, I know! I know!” shouted the pink-clad Esperetta.
“Whoever’s ship wins will get their choice of keepsake to remember
the BSB’s stomping face on Orca and their profitable occupation for all these months.”
“I have just the prize…” smirked Espy, “they can
choose between two cinematic
treasures…”
“But what keepsake would be appropriate
for such a feat?” asked the eunuch Repentant.
Yep we really will send you
one!
