- Description
by Anna Klein
A swashbuckling comedy of daring, dashing, dastardliness, damsels and a bit with a dog.
It started when a bitter rivalry between Romeo, a roguish musketeer, and Ethel, a scurrilous wench, was to be settled by a dishonourable duel to the death. But it's all gone horribly wrong - Romeo's vanished, Ethel's missing, answers are being demanded and fingers (and guns and swords) are being pointed. There's also been a shipwreck, and the governor's daughter's been kidnapped, Casanova's endangering the virtue of every woman, the forest is crawling with thieves, there's rumours of buried treasure, and several kingdoms in peril, nobody trusts the men in masks (and tights), the damsels all have knives in their corsets and nobody knows where the rum is. A game bringing you the best thing about pirates, musketeers, merry men, wenches, damsels and Shakespearian comedy, drenched in improbable circumstances, mistaken identities, star-crossed lovers and non-stop witty sexual innuendo. Hey nonny-nonny.
Hi! So, I've not really touched this website for years. It's fallen into disrepair and it would be irresponsible of me to pretend I'll ever have time to work on it again.
So, I'm going to mothball the site/set it to read-only. I've disabled the login links because they stopped working any I don't remember enough about how the site works to figure out how to fix them.
If any thing *really* needs updating (deadnaming-level stuff), let me know and I'll go in on the backend and make changes.
