3	...seriously, though, '''High Seas''' is a pirate-themed Dreamwidth RP Game. Suddenly dropped on the city of Isla Empieza, you're told by a mysterious ghost to start finding treasure! Your goal? Finding and rebuilding the pieces of the ''[[MacGuffin Piedra Roja]]'', a mysterious gem that can grant the wishes of anyone who possesses it. However, it's not that easy as no one knows where the pieces are. Even worse, just about anything's ready to come and get you, from island inhabitants to the Navy, who hate pirates with a passion! Do you have what it takes to navigate the seven seas, find the pieces and stay out of trouble? Or is there more to this than meets the eye?

5	!!''High Seas'' contains examples of:
6	* AscendedMeme: It didn't take long at all between Scurvey Dog's introduction and the first time a player accidentally called her ''Survey'' Dog, leading to jokes about Scurvey Dog's twin who asks questions instead of answering them. For April Fools' Day 2014, Scurvey Dog [[http://piratejournal.dreamwidth.org/190136.html became Survey Dog]].
7	* ExactWords: If it have a hooky bit, it be a question. What part of that do ye not understand?
8	* FunetikAksent: Scurvey Dog's posts are all written with a heavy "pirate" accent, despite being text-only (the journals can also do voice posts.)
9	* GenderConcealingWriting: Scurvey Dog didn't use gendered pronouns with reference to herself for the first three months. When she finally did drop one, it attracted a few "Wait, you're a woman?" comments.
10	* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: As the pirates go to deal with the Pirate Witch, Miss Margie's store, Backwater Brig, offers up a sale... but has nothing to stop possessions and curses.
11	* MacGuffin: The ''Piedra Roja''. No one knows what it does, but the player characters have been promised a wish granted if they assemble all the pieces.
12	** DismantledMacGuffin: It's broken into many shards.
13	* PirateTropes: Various, used with glee.
14	* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Despite being told, repeatedly, that they're pirates whether they like it or not, many of the player characters are planning on doing ''nicer'' things.
15	* RunningGag: Most weeks, Scurvey Dog offers to answer one question for the pirates. Most weeks, someone blows it.
16	* WorldOfAdventure: Everywhere outside Isla Empieza.
17	* WhatTheHellHero: Scurvey Dog makes her first appearance, gives the weather report and offers to answer ONE question. [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]] blows it by asking if Candy Mountain existed and pissed off ''everyone''. A little bit later on, [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Flynn]] pisses off Scurvey due to his snarking and gets his question privileges revoked for a month.
